It began with a sudden realization of Rod's while turning on his
compact disk player. Mike was standing in the room looking out the
window thinking, watching an attractive black woman walk down the
street, turning the corner and disappearing. She had been very pregnant
from the looks of it, as still very attractive. He wished that Lisa
would want to have more kids. They had only Will, and Will was a fine
son but Mike had always dreamt of having more children. The black woman
seemed a world away, and a race away.
"I got this cd player for fifty bucks up at the store. Surround sound,
what do you think of that Mr. Richter?" Rod said to Mike. But Mike did
not answer, he was too busy watching the woman disappear, her fine ass
moving off into the distance. "Looks like one of the kids left a cd in
here."
The cd began playing. Rod had left the room, thinking that it was Randy
Travis, but it was actually Lil Kim.
"To all my motherfuckin' gettin' money hoes, used to clothes... love a
hard bitch One that get up in a nigga's ass quicker than an enema Make
a cat bleed then sprinkle it with vinegar"
It wasn't that he wasn't happy with where his current situation, he was
married and very content being a man with his wife. It was nice to get
away from her a little bit though. Distance makes the heart fonder. He
walked into the hallway of the old trailer made in the late 70s, the
long thick green carpeting flat from the years of being trampled. So
this was where Rod and Loretta Richter had decided to live, found a
place alone to spend the middle part of their days away in a trailer
park that allowed absolutely no children. He couldn't help but laugh at
the idea as he realized that most of their stories were of things that
had happened when the entire gang was much younger. Now, as Rod had
noted to him once before, his children were now having children.
The cd continued, "...Make him call his wife and say he never coming
home..."
Mike looked up at the picture in the home of his lifelong friend Rod,
and Rod's wife Loretta. The long serious look on his face, his son in
the other room talking to Loretta. The years slipped by him, and slowly
he began to deposit each and every idea in his mind.
Cd: "What? I'm loving this shit Queen Bitch!"
The drive had been long, and the heat was intense, but was not to last.
These were the final days of the Autumn that he had enjoyed. Fishing
with his son, and going on trips with him while he had a few days away
from school. It gave the two a chance for a father and son outing.
Cd: "...I treat y'all niggas like y'all treat us No Doubt! Ay yo, yo
Come here so I can bust in ya mouth"
Just the two of them together, the way his wife had suggested. The
picture on the wall reminded him of how fortunate he was to have both
an understanding wife like Lisa, and friends like Rod and Loretta.
Cd: "...Cause y'all niggas ain't shit man And if I was dude I'd tell
y'all to suck my dick."
The four of them had always been close, and the picture on the wall of
Rod's son and daughter in law getting married made him realize what
they had all been through together.
Cd: "...All I wanna do is get my pussy sucked..."
Mike snapped to reality as a bus drove by, slowly he walked over to the
cd player just in time as Rod walked into the room. "I'm turning this
shit off." He winced, "I take it this isn't your music."
"Nah, like I said, the kids listen to that shit." Rod laughed shutting
it off. "Damn bitch thinks she's a man or something."
"Or something." Mike laughed.
"I'm going down to Phil's store to see if he has any lights for my
truck. I need to get the damn thing fixed. You comin?" Rod asked,
always in a hurry with his fat belly flopping out of his pants.
"Um...." Mike looked over at his son, "Yeah why not. You coming along
too?"
His son nodded and walked over with him to the door. "Ya know dad, I'm
so glad that you brought me up here this weekend like I asked." Will
gently put his arms around his father and hugged him. Such a rare
moment for there to be affection between the two of them. It was almost
a once in a lifetime occurrence these days for them.
"You know Rod..." Mike said, putting his hand on his old friend's
shoulder as they put their coats on and began to walk out of the house,
"I have to tell you that he's been nagging and nagging me to come up
here to see you guys. He really enjoys coming up here."
Rod nodded at him, really not paying much attention to him, he looked
at his wife. "Have you seen my keys at all?"
