Chapter 21

“Oh come on Ernelle, haven’t we watched this movie enough?” Regina asked when she saw the opening credits of “The Fast and the Furious” roll up on the screen.

“What you got something better? It’s the only non-chick flick I own,” Ernelle replied.

“Yeah, I got something better, hold on guys, I’ll save you from the chick flickiest action movie in the last century,” Regina laughed going to her bedroom. A few minutes later she emerged from her bedroom.

“So what ya got?” Proof asked.

“Say hello to my little friend,” she replied holding up her copy of “Scarface”.

“Now I like this girl,” Kuniva laughed.

“You sounded just like him,” Bizarre said astonished.

“Oh she can do tons of impressions. Go ahead name someone,” Ernelle replied.

“All right, Pop Eye,” Proof called out.

“Oh too easy,” Regina replied before launching into her Pop Eye impression, making them all laugh.

“Okay, Britney Spears,” Kuniva shouted out next.

“All right, Well of course I’m a virgin! Wait a minute, am I? I don’t remember, I think I bleached my hair too many times. Ew! Who is that guy! Oh wait, that’s right, it’s my husband.” They were all in stitches this time.

“Scooby Doo!” Ernelle called next and Regina complied, sending them all into hysterics. Regina kept everyone laughing for the next half-hour with her impressions of everyone from Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls to President Bush.

“Oh are we gonna have fun recording stuff!” Proof said rubbing his hands together and grinning evilly. Regina shook her head and laughed.

“Hey guys, you ready for a smoke?” Bizarre asked. “Ernelle, you better open a window, if the landlord smells smoke in here, he’ll kick us out.” Regina said laughing slightly as Em squeezed her tightly.

“Oh don’t worry about it, you’re gonna be so big you’re gonna be the landlady soon,” Dre remarked as Bizarre handed him a plastic bag. Regina looked over and furrowed her brow.

“Wait a minute, not that shit, not here,” she said.

“What? It’s just a little weed, don’t worry about it,” Proof said grabbing the bag next and pulling out a joint.

“Nope, sorry boys, but I got to agree with Reg on this. Put it away or pack it up for the night,” Ernelle said seriously.

“But you just said to open a window?” Bizarre asked confused.

“Yeah, cuz she thought you were smoking cigarettes. Just put it away for tonight man, it’s no big deal.” Em said, catching Regina off guard. He was respecting her wishes.

“All right here Biz, put it back, I agree, her house,” Dre said handing Biz the joint. Proof did the same and Bizarre packed it back into his pocket.

“Thanks guys,” Regina said leaning back into Eminem and putting her hands over his.

They watched the movie and then, looking at the clock, they all decided it was a good idea to get going.

“Remember Regina, Wednesday, twelve o’clock, aight?” Dre asked going towards the door.

“Actually, make that two, I got class till one thirty,” Regina reminded him.

“What the hell you still taking classes for Reg? You gon’ blow up as soon hit the radio,” Proof asked.

“Because, I only have two months left, and I intend on getting my degree. I’ve been working on it long enough.”

“What you getting your degree in?” Kon asked.

“English. I’ve only got three more classes to go after this semester, I plan on doing those over the Internet.” Regina replied.

“Look at the little over achiever! Damn girl, you are something else! Thanks for dinner though, it was great,” Swifty said shaking her hand.

“All right guys, “ Regina smiled.

“Oh wait a minute, hang on, let’s take a picture!” Ernelle suddenly shouted, running to her room.

“Come on guys, on the couch!” Ernelle called running back out with a camera. The guys mumbled something but obliged her, stuffing themselves on the couch, some of them sitting on the back and the rest sitting on the seat.

“Okay, here we go, Regina! Come on already!” Ernelle said dragging Regina to the couch.

“Em, grab her already will ya?” she commented grabbing the camera and focusing it. Em nodded and pulled Regina into his lap as Regina said,

“All right, on the count of three, one, two, three.” Ernelle snapped a few more and then Fifty called,

“Come on Ernelle, set the timer on that damn thing and get in the picture!” Ernelle blushed slightly, set up the camera on top of the television, and pressed the button. She rushed over, throwing herself on the floor in front of Fifty.

“When it beeps, it’s gonna take the picture.” She said and suddenly felt Fifty’s arms lifting her off the floor and into his lap.

“All right, here it comes, everyone say something stupid!” Regina called. Two seconds later they all squeezed on Regina and called, “SOMETHING STUPID!”
