Brooklyn's Boys

II

The sounds of the television loudly playing P-valley caught the attention of the two friends Giovanni Jenkins and Lauren Winfrey. The two had heard so much about the show throughout social media and decided to spend their Saturday binge watching.

Lauren was currently laying in between Giovanni's legs as he massaged her scalp. It was winter break and the two friends normally spent it together binge watching shows or movies and raiding the convenient store for snacks. The two were thick as thieves if you saw one, you saw the other not far behind some think and still do that they've messed around when that was far from the case. They were just friends who enjoyed one another's presence.

"I don't care what anyone says, Mercedes can really get her cheeks clapped and smothered in some gravy." Giovanni rubbed his hands together licking over his lips.

"You nasty as hell...but since you wanna talk about smashing someone Mr.Diamond can respectfully destroy my guts." Lauren smirked.

"His light bright ass." He rolled his eyes.

"Um and what are you." Lauren questioned referring to the fact he's also light skin.

"Listen what drake say I'm light skin but I'm still a dark nigga." He laughed at the mug that had found it's way to Lauren's face.

"I don't even understand how I deal with yo annoying ass." She rolled her eyes.

"Cause you love me and I love you." He cheesed showing off his new custom grill.

"Whatever fool." She stood up and grabbed the bowl on the dresser. "I'm finna go make some more popcorn need anything.

"Yeah just bring back a faygo don't matter what kind." He shrugged pulling out the phone in his sweats.

Lauren nodded turning on her heels and heading towards the kitchen. She pulled a bag of popcorn out of the cabinet and popped it the microwave before starting it. As she was waiting for it to finish popping she grabbed a grape faygo out of the refrigerator. Once the popcorn was finished she grabbed it and the drink heading back to the bedroom. She heard shuffling right before opening the door and noticed Giovanni was getting dressed.

"Where you going?" She asked setting everything down.

"I gotta go, Siah just got released and his mom and brother busy." Giovanni said tying his shoes.

"Can I come." She chimed.

"Girl you know I drive a two-seater." He smacked his lips.

"Fineeeee." She dragged plopping on the bed. "Well I'm not gon' watch this without you so don't worry."

"Bet, see you later and lockup when I leave ion want ya parents thinking I let some happen to you." He joked grabbing his phone and wallet heading to the front door.

"Okayyy bye bye Vanni." She hugged him as he hugged her back. "Be careful."

"No doubt."

With that he jogged down her steps and to his black out dodge hellcat and driving to the prison. Meanwhile on the other side of the city at MDC Brooklyn, a now 19- year old Messiah Bland was cursing out a correctional officer.

"Man what!"

"Inmate watch your tone with me." The officer challenged.

"Muthafucka you bothering me, I'm waiting on the warden and you making smart remarks at me!" Messiah barked back.

"You niggers-"

"NIGGERS!!" Messiah finally stood up ready to fight right before the warden came in.

"HEY! HEY! HEY!" Warden Nelson stopped the two before it could go any further. "Messiah sit down, Richards I heard everything your dismissed for the day and I'll be talking to corporate about you goodbye." She waved him off as he walked out the door Messiah flicked him off. "Messiah that's the seventh officer I've had to fire because of you." She shook her head pulling out paperwork.

"They be starting with me and I just be finishing it that's all." He sat back in his chair.

"You and your temper anyways..." She dragged. "Since your getting out you will be on house arrest you will be required to wear an ankle monitor at all times and do community service, and you will only be allowed to leave for school and must be in the house by 9pm any questions."

Messiah stared at the warden with his face scrunched up. "Awh baby nah that ain't gon work."

"Why is that?" She asked locking her hands and placing them on the desk.

"Ion service my community and school pointless."

"Listen I know you had it rough and I get that but it's never too late to make something of yourself, besides that mouth of yours your a smart young man and I want to see you make it." She preached. "You hear me?"

"I hear you." Messiah nodded as an officer came in.

"Mr.Blands ride is here."

"Thank you August please escort him to the front and messiah remember what I told you." She warned.

"Yes ma'am I heard you loud and clear." He smiled walking out of the wardens office with the officer in tow. "Y'all gon miss me." Messiah asked the officers as he was getting un-handcuffed.

"Sadly yes."

"Hell nah."

"I'm new."

"Fuck you bland."

Messiah chuckled as the officer from earlier was cleaning out his locker. "Don't be salty Richards we all knew yo racist ass wasn't gon last."

"I could kick your ass Bland." The officer challenged.

"But you won't, now turn yo big ass around and get the fuck back to ya fuckin seat da fuck is wrong with yo ashy ass."

Laughter erupted from the room as everyone clowned officer Richards. Messiah said goodbye once more before heading to the pick up. He couldn't tell who it was at first but he knew it wasn't his brother or mom because they was working but once the window rolled down a smile found his face.

"I KNOW THAT AINT MY BOY SMOOTH GIO WITH THE CLEAN ASS WHIP." Messiah shouted walking up to the car as Giovanni got out both of them dappin each other up and hugging.

"I miss you brother." Giovanni held on tightly to his friend.

"Same here brother, but let's get in the car it's a brick out here and catch me up on the bullshit." Messiah suggested as they both got in the car and drove off.

"It's good to have you home man." Giovanni smiled.

"Good to be home."
