Lucid Dreams

“Where you going?” Dai called after him popping up out of thin air, but Nite kept walking until he was standing in her space. “Damn, nigga, back up. Give us 6ft. Are you vaccinated? Do you have your booster shot? Let me see your card?” Junie twisted her neck. Hunter stopped smiling when she realized it was the asshole that almost ruined her night. “Aye, tramp, don’t talk to my brother like that,” Dai snapped, coming up behind him. “Boy, who are you talking to? I’ll push your long head ass in the pool,” she snapped. “Do it,” he dared her. “Nah, we chilling. Dai gone with all that rah-rah shit. I just came to extend an apology to the pretty lady.” Nite attempted to gain control over the situation. “Which one? It’s three of us?” Tiny crossed her arms. Dai glanced at the three friends and held his finger up as if he were in church. “Uh, it’s two. I’m still trying to figure out what you are,” he corrected her. “Come here.” Dai removed a makeup wipe from his pocket. “Boy, fuck you!” Tiny pushed passed him and switched away. “Aye, yo booty lopsided,” Dai called after her. “Oh my god, can you please take him back over there?” Hunter tucked her lips to keep from laughing. She told Tiny not to get in the pool with the booty pads on, and now it looked like a soggy diaper.
