TAKASHI SAT IN HIS computer chair with his legs spaced open. The lights in his room were off but the shine from his cellphone reflected off his face. Toryn however sat back comfortably on his lap, her back against his chest while she was engrossed with the movie.
Takashi opened up a text that came through from Dupree.
Dupree: Yo', my bro letting me throw a party at his crib soon. You know it's gonna be lit.😝 2:23PM
A big smile took over Takashi's face as he was quick to reply.
Takashi: Word? You know I'm coming through. 2:24PM
Dupree: Of course, you have to nigga. It was no debating, daddy was gonna have to take off his belt. 2:24PM
Takashi chuckled but shook his head, "Gay ass nigga man," he mumbled, tossing his phone on the bed. He looked at the screen on his TV and began loudly rapping over the movie and bouncing the leg Toryn was sitting on.
Toryn, with her eyes still on the screen sucked her teeth, "Taka stop..." she whined, dragging his name out.
Takashi was one of those people who could never sit and watch a whole movie. He claimed he couldn't sit down and stare at a TV screen for long periods of time no matter how good it was. Halfway through or sometimes as early as fifteen to twenty minutes into a movie he was bored or distracted. He's never ever really seen a movie in it's entirety. It's always been in parts.
"Then fuck off my leg then." He mumbled, still rapping loudly.
Toryn turned around and put her hand over his mouth. He stopped shaking his leg but was still mumbling rap lyrics behind her hand. She frowned. "Taka."
He chuckled and moved her hand, "Aight you got it...let's go out though. It's boring in here."
"Go where?"
"Coney Island."
Toryn gasped and jumped off his lap. "Ooo yeah, let's go let's go." She said, the movie now at the back of her mind.
Takashi really wasn't planning on going. He was just running his mouth, but now he saw that she was really excited about it. It was Saturday and the weather was nice out. Eighty degrees with perfect wind blowing. And it was only early afternoon. Takashi sighed. "Aight go put some clothes on then, we can shower when we get back." He said, thinking it would make no sense to shower now, just to go out on all those dirty rides and touch germ infested hand games.
Toryn squealed as she dashed to the guest room down the hall. That's where she kept her stuff; but in Takashi's room is normally where she slept. Takashi got up as well and went downstairs where his mom was in the living room, gossiping on the phone.
