With the sun setting on the north side of the sky, we all sat on the front porch of the Crippen residence. We kind of settled down from our little game that almost took place, 15 minutes ago. No telling what could've happened.
We all sat silently though. The silence felt nice and comfortable but it'd be nice if someone were to strike up a conversation. I glanced at each face. Craig seemed bored and ready to go inside. Ray just stared off into space, probably thinking from the looks of it. It was a odd stare though.
Chres impatiently tapped his foot against the ground, chewing on his bottom lip. Then he dramatically sighed, "We just gone sit here or..."
"Just sit here. No more of your silly ass games." Craig retorted.
Chres raised his hands up in defense, "Aye, nobody got hurt, okay? So don't blame me."
Craig scoffed and waved his hand at him and continued looking forward. I was in the middle of a thought when a new idea came to mind. I raised my hand.
Ray noticed it first, "Wassup?" he asked.
I slowly put it down, "We could play...a different game? I-If you want." I suggested quietly.
"Mm, I'on know about that." Craig responded.
"Prince."
I turned my head towards Santo. "What kinda game?" he asked.
I looked down, "Um...I spy?"
Ray looked back at me along with Crag. Then exchanged looks to Chres. "I mean we don't have too...just saying " I added.
The guys stayed still for a second....then lazily shrugged.
"I spy with my little eye, " Chres began, "hmm...something blue."
"The sky?" I inquired.
He shook his head. "That car over there...?" Ray pointed towards a blue Ford parked in front of a small white house. Santo nodded, "Yep. You got it."
On the inside, this made me smile. For once I was listened to and obeyed. Well...not 'obeyed' but they still agreed....Chresanto agreed with me for once..
"I spy with my little eye--"
YOU'RE A SHINING STAR. NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE. SHINING BRIGHT TO SEE, WHAT YOU COULD TRULY BE. WHAT YOU COULD TRULY BE!
"--A phone that's interrupting' me." Ray glared at Roc.
"My dude, you gotta get a new ring-tone." Craig laughed. Santo grinned, "Shut up." He pulled his phone out from his back pocket, slid the lock across the screen and held it up to his ear, "Hello?"
The volume was loud enough for all of us to hear a voice on the other end. It sounded like a female.
"Hey babe! What'cha doing?" the voice exclaimed. Both Ray and Prod looked at me.
"Girlfriend. Future wifey, nothing special." I said nonchalantly.
"Oh" they both nodded in unison.
Roc then came back, grinning like Louie Armstrong, saying "Alright, bye baby!" he pulled it from his ear and hung up. Still smiling like a damn fool.
Ray went up to him to giving him dap, "You got yourself a honey dip, huh?" he chuckled. Chres accepted the dap, "Yep. Everything I need." he sighed happily. Craig smiled, "Well don't just stand there all bubbly and stuff, tell us. What's her name?"
