Midnight (2016)
Midnight
““Too bad you don’t have more time, Bop; you’d love the north. You know how it is when you go inland; shit is different.”
Helene made one of her uniquely creative dishes, a lasagna-styled casserole with tamales and pasta. Fred set up the party atmosphere with three beers. They enjoyed each other’s company. Fred exchanged winks with his wife. “What did you do while we were gone?”
Bop tried to tell them but nothing would come out. “Oooh, I hung out, you know, just sorta hung out.”
Fred had drunk j...ust enough beer to challenge his description of what he had done. “Just hung out? What the hell does that mean?”
Wowwww …, shades of Aunt Lu and Uncle David. “Uhhh, well, you know what I mean.”
Later on that evening, after the mango pie, they spooled it out more carefully. “So, now, you got a woman, huh?”
Elena Boateng, my woman? Hmmmmm. “Uhhh, Fred, I wouldn’t go so far as to call her that.”
“What would you call her? Y’all been fuckin’, right?”
Fred’s words scalded him.MoreLess
