After the phone call with with my mother, my mind goes back into my memories from 8 years ago.
Chris and I were hanging by our usual hangout spot down by The Valley. We usually spent our time laying on the green grass looking up at the sky and dreaming. Eventually TK came around to join us in our little hideout.
"I see you boys are dreaming without me. Well make some room for your boy", TK said while squeezing himself in between us. "You really love being in the middle of us don't you. A real sandwich arrangement", Chris exclaimed. "And you really love those extra sandwiches don't you BG", TK replied while rubbing Chris's stomach.
I laughed at them both.
"You guys should get a room, better yet get married with the way you guys fight", I tell them both. We spend the next few hours star gazing in the daytime and asking each other what we dream of doing in the near future.
"Well I dream of owning a big business that gives back to the community. And hopefully by then make my Dad proud and let him know that I wasn't a waste of one fat sperm", Chris said. TK cut in stating, "so what, you're, going to be selling sandwiches there BG".
Chris turned to TK giving him a stare down and told him, "I'll be selling your body parts if you keep talking all that crap". I laughed again and told them, "couples who always fight last longer". I continued on by asking TK, "what about you".
"Well unlike my oversized friend here, I'm going to marry the baddest girl out there, bring her back to our hometown to my big crib I probably built around my block. Then I'll wifey her up good kind and make sexy ass babies with her", TK told us.
"Come on bro. Be serious", Chris exclaimed. I nodded my head soon after he said that.
"Fine. What I really want is to go on a helicopter tour around our entire hometown. Get to see it all, for all its beauty. Just to be up there a little closer to the sky that I can almost touch Heaven.
Haha, might even bring a tear in my eye", TK told us.
Chris and I turned to each other, both pulling our faces. We both exclaimed, "really".
"Yeah! Damn you guys, this is why I can't be real with you guys. Always hating on the boy's dreams", TK responded in an annoyed voice. "Ey I'm not hating, I'm just surprised thats all", I reassured him. "Well I'm not all about girls, girls, and more girls", TK told us.
"And you K", he asked me.
"Damn man, I just want to be recognised bro. Like with all the things I write. I just want people to be like wow K wrote that. The boy from a small town made it big out there in the big world", I tell them.
"And", Chis asks.
"And what", I respond. TK adds on by saying, "you forgot the part where you want to be in Catherine's pants". "Come on guys, we're just friends", I reply. "Yeah but you want to be more than friends", said Chris.
"Friends with benefits", Tk finished off with.
"Can you lovers get off my back already", I shouted. They both lifted up their hands, and stated, "I'm just saying". "But real talk, you need to tell her how you feel. Don't live in regret bro", TK said.
"Yeah bro", I exclaimed.
The memory begins to fade away as I come back to the present day and back into my lonely mansion. I sit on my couch staring at the control on the coffee table. "One game wouldn't hurt", I tell myself.
I get the Playstation all setup, ready for a session. But manager walks in on me before I can even press start.
And with him is a girl which I definitely know is a Lady of the night.
