I Met A Girl On Social Media

At the Hatcliffe offices, Berlins supervisor calls her aside and told her that a certain client wants her to guide them. She immediately knew who it was and rushed to the ladies toilet and scrolled for Herberts number and calls him.

Berlin: Hey

Herbert: Hey is this Berlin?

Berlin: No, this is Berlin

Herbert: (chuckles)

Berlin: I want you to cancel your booking now!

Herbert: Why?

Berlin: You know how far out is London from Grimsby? Almost four hours of travelling theres many places you can tour in

Herbert: Im willing to travel, I told you I want to meet you

Berlin: Okay fine, you want to meet me? Im going to London later this afternoon then we can meet just cancel your booking

Herbert: Alright Ill cancel … wait a minute are you coming to the game? But thats tomorrow

Berlin: Ill be staying at my friends aunt in London and yes Im coming for the game so youll see me, Ill tell you when we arrive

Herbert: Great! Now I have to get myself ready and buy myself a nice suite

Berlin: (giggle) You crazy, you going to cancel your booking?

Herbert: Alright fine Ill cancel the booking then, Ill be waiting for your call

Berlin: No problem, bye-bye

When Berlin came from the toilet, Megan was waiting outside with folded arms …

Megan: Are you going to tell me who this mysterious guy is who wants you and no other to be his tourist guide?

Berlin: No

From there on Berlin just left her friend guessing, Herbert on the other side kept Berlin a secret too while Michael tried his best to get them some chicks on Badoo. He got concerned and frustrated …

Michael: Bro? We need to get laid soon otherwise our trip to this foreign land would be for nothing

Herbert: Come and join a game of Fifa with me and man, screw these girls man

Later that evening they both decided to go to a bar to have some drinks at that same time Berlin and Megan were in London and both Berlin and Herbert hesitated to chat with each other. Michael caught Herbert staring at his phone and said …

Michael: You have a plan for us don you?

Herbert: What plan?

Michael: Why are you always on your phone then?

Herbert: Im always on my phone that doesn mean I have a plan

Michael: Bull … (smiling and shaking his head)

It was late that evening when both of them had quit a few drinks, they weren drunk just quite yet but in a vibe where a person could see they were drinking. They were tired of dancing and just looked at the girls. Herbert decided to finally chat with Berlin ….

Herbert: Hey, you in London already?

Berlin was dancing her ass off and when she went to the bathroom she went through her messages and saw the message from Herbert …

Berlin: Hey, sorry were having a good time and didn see your message Im in London already

Because he kept on peeking he almost fell from his chair when he saw the response…

Herbert: Okay, Im having a good time too, where are you partying, maybe we can join up just saying

Berlin: You
e persistent aren you?

Right then Megan came to her and asked her …

Megan: Berlin, lets go to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic park before we go home

Berlin: Fantastic, Im getting tired myself

Just as she walks with Megan she quickly replies …

Berlin: We going to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic park

Herbert: Where is that?

She didn answer and he saw that she is not online anymore, then he knew, she would probably say check the map so he did.

Michael: Damn I don know you like this bro, you
e seriously obsessed with your phone

Herbert ignored him and said …

Herbert: Lets get an Uber to take us to this place

He shows the map to Michael…

Michael: What for bro?

Herbert: Lets just do it man don ask questions

Michael: Whoa, whoaaaa! Here I think we going to be dry as the Kalahari desert but my man! He has a plan, knew you hiding something, Im on it

Herbert: Shut up

An hour has passed and the Uber driver drops them off. The park is live, many people were still in the park and it was midnight.

Michael: This is like the liggies (liggies – A traditional event every Chrismas holidays and end of the year in Cape Town) back home brother, how the hell do you know about this place, you did your homework bro, or … the lyn ( lyn – connection) you have is on fire, so what now bro?

Herbert: Just wait

He chatted again …

Herbert: We here, where are you?

Berlin: Keep on walking

Herbert noticed her pic on her profile, he shakes his head with a smile …

Michael: You have a girl from Britain (huge smile)

Herbert: Shut up and keep on walking

The two were quiet for a moment, eyes big and busy scanning for what is in front of them. Herbert started to walk slow when he notices a girl who looks like the girl he chatted with on the video call, she and another girl were taking a selfie together …

Michael: Why are you walking slow? Wait a minute …

He looks to where his friend is staring and smiles …

Michael: You son of a gun, you organised us some chicks hey? You take the tall one the blondie is mine … oh shit! Isn that tall girl from my Badoo account? You sly fox, thats it, boy you owe me, thanks to me you can get a chance to be laid, good thing you chatted with her, Im not into tall girls and wheres the meat, no bro, blondie must be mine

Berlin is quite a tall girl, she is about 178cm tall and slender build and with Dungary jeans, her face is round and she has a round shape forehead …

Michael: Look at that forehead, you have a head problem (chuckles)

Berlins hair is tied in a pony tale which is platted, Megan is of athletic build, blond and not that tall, she is 165cm tall and she has blue eyes like the skies, and her hair is loose. Michael is 170cm tall which means Berlin is taller than them all. Herbert and Michael stop in front of the two girls. Herbert lost his words and Berlin is shy because this is her first time meeting someone from Badoo. Michael saw that they are going to make themselves fools if someone is not going to talk …

Megan: And who may you be?

Michael: Ahhh (jerking around confuse but managing to talk) My name is Michael ( holding out his hand)

Megan shook his hand but Berlin refused …

Michael: And this is my friend Herbert, I believe the two of them (pointing to his friend and Berlin) are the reason we are here?

Megan: Oh I can see that too now, so? Berlin?

None of the two, Berlin and Herbert said anything …

Michael: Listen, I don mind getting to know you, the reason why Im saying this, I think they need time alone?

Megan: Oh yeah I agree of cause, by the way, I am Megan and, its nice meeting you too so? Michael? You seem like a talkative person lets get to know each other than somewhere else

Michael: Sure

The two of them walked away from Berlin and Herbert. Now they just stared at each other, but Herbert does what a man is supposed to do and speaks first …

Herbert: So finally meeting you hey?

Berlin: Not what you expected to see? ( she plays with the tip of her pony tale)

Herbert: Correct, not what I expected, but Im not bothered about that at all, I still want to know you

Berlin: What do you want to know Im here now so speak your heart

Herbert: I want to know everything about you, what you eat what you drink what you breathe, chatting with you gave me a glimpse of who you are and I like that person thats why I wanted to meet you, want to see you for my self if it is the truth

Berlin: Well it was a lie all I wanted to see was your penis and nothing else, and we played Fifa and thats it, I know boys, you enjoyed the fact that I asked for a nude picture from you now you want to know me, pretending that you like me with the hope that you might get into my pants

Herbert: (laughing) Hundred per cent correct, but I have to be honest I never met a girl that is so gutsy like you, from what I know when a girl is like that shes a slut (the expression on her face changed) hold on, not saying you are, you, on the other hand, were not eager to meet for that purpose so you were just expressing, I would want a girl like that, so open, not afraid, a gutsy woman, girls often nags about men who hang themselves up on their Play Station and football and here you, a woman with the same interest like me so why not? Some things we can enjoy together, last girlfriend I had I had to suffer and sit through a horrible romance, at least I know what you would like

Berlin: And Im not looking for a boyfriend

Herbert: Okay, I don want to be your boyfriend either

Berlin: (confused) Excuse me?

Herbert: I want to be your love of your life

She burst out of laughter, he too was laughing knowing that he made her laugh …

Berlin: I don think you funny (smile)

Herbert: Okay, I am very much interested to be your friend allow me to be your friend, be my first friend from England, we can play games together, watch football together, make my wish come true

Berlin: You saw my boobs now you want to be friends, typical boy behaviour come on I don want you to be embarrassed so walk along

She turned and he trotted quickly to walk with her …

Herbert: What a good start, a walk with my future wife

She stops immediately ….

Berlin: No, no, no, Im not your future wife

Herbert: Future girlfriend?

Berlin: No

Herbert: Errrr?

Berlin: Future nothing, do you see this? (showing her fist)

Herbert: Yeah?

Berlin: You going to get this, stop pushing for it

Herbert: (rolling his eyes) Im getting horny

Berlin laughs pointing to her temple …

Berlin: Did you lose all your marbles? Anyway (continues to walk)

Herbert: So? How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Berlin: I only have one sister, Olivia, shes so annoying, and you?

Herbert: We are six children

Berlin: Wow, okay

Herbert: My father and brothers are all blessed, both my brothers have four kids, my one sister has two, and the other has five except for me and my baby sister, I guess being blessed runs in the family, so? If you want any kids here Im

Berlin: (laughs) Are you insane? Who said I want any?

Herbert: But if you change your mind my offer still stands

Berlin: (laughs) No thank you

Herbert: Bible says to go and multiply

Berlin: I think we are multiplied enough thank you, your brothers have kids and I hope they married too

Herbert: Yeah, just a week ago my brother MJ got married

Berlin: Whats his full name?

Herbert: Michael Jackson

Berlin roars the way she can laugh with a pig noise afterwards …

Berlin: Are you serious (laughing)

Herbert: Im not laughing so yes Im serious, my father gave him that name

Berlin: Whats your other brothers name?

Herbert: John

Berlin: Full name?

Herbert: (laughing) John Rambo

Berlin: (laughing) Now you going too far, which means you are named after the movie Herbie goes wild, you and your brothers have movie names, and your father is something else you know that?

Herbert: I know, he is actually

The two of them come to a standstill, noticing Michael and Megan French kissing …

Berlin: We just met and already they take it this far?

Herbert: This is not right, so uncool

Berlin: I agree with that one

Herbert: Maybe we should …

Berlin: What? (glaring at Herbert)

Herbert: Do the same …

Berlin: What is wrong with you?

Herbert: Im kidding

Berlin: But you wouldn mind?

Herbert: Obviously

Berlin just smiled, shook her head and turned to the kissing pair …

Berlin: Come on Megan, can we go now?

Megan: Here … (kissing and holding out her car keys)

Berlin: You know (sigh) anyway, its fine

She took the keys and indicates to Herbert to walk with. She looks a bit disappointed, and Herbert noticed it …

Herbert: How long youve been friends

Berlin: We were childhood friends, we were like sisters and even for all those years my parents never liked her, they say she is bad news.

Herbert: Thats what the teacher told me too, on the school they would call me aside and say what a bright future I have and that their wishes are that I should choose my friends right

Berlin: Like Michael?

Herbert: Sometimes, but I feel like Im the only one who understands him

Berlin: The same with me you know, with Megan, my parents will never understand her

Herbert: Like, Michael landed us both into trouble many times, one time he went with friends to some place far from home, they left him behind and he was stranded and couldn find a lift, so he called me and urged me to ask my father to pick him up but my father refused too because it was Michael, he just said ah! its his own fault leave him, I had to wait till he was sleeping and stole his car to fetch Michael, on our way back we were in a car accident, we both were at fault cause I stole my fathers car, and maybe I could have just dropped him at their house but I wanted to drink some beers, so we both to be blamed for my fathers car, instead they blame him only, and hes not a bad guy cause I know where he comes from, Michael comes from a very poor background, he grew up with no father so I understand his behaviours on why he always wants to party, he doesn have a father figure like me you know, grew up without one

Berlin: I have the same problem as yours you know, sometimes I feel like people should take their time to know her and theyll see that shes not that bad

Herbert: Thats how people are and always will be

Berlin: Megan too has a background you know? But Im not going to talk about it, I promised not to tell anyone

Herbert: Thats fine I understand, you are a good friend

Berlin: Thanks, I have a bottle in the car, you want to drink? I have enough for the two of us

Herbert: Hey! You making me a very happy man

Berlin: We only going to drink, no sex

Herbert: Im happy about the drink whats wrong?

Berlin: Just letting you know

Herbert: Alright, don stress

They got into Megans car, and she took out a bottle of Rum and drank a few. The more they drank the more they started to get loud and laughter filled the car. But Herbert had a few drinks earlier and a few glasses knocked him out cold.
