It was the day after Bobby had called his aunt (not biologically of course), and told her daughter of what happened to his adoptive mother. He was lounging on the couch now with Angel on the phone, Jeremiah going through a few documents, and Jack playing his guitar on the couch. After a few minutes of "pling, plung, pling, pling, plung" being played on Jack's guitar, completely overpowering the sound of the TV, Bobby spoke up.
"Will you take that god damn thing out of here Jack! Jesus…", he said as he turned up the volume on the TV. Jack merely gave him a glare, and began "pling-ing" and "plung-ing" louder. "Will you shut up with that thing and go suck a cock?", Bobby said harsher, making Jack give him the finger and leave for his bedroom. "What's wrong with that boy?", Bobby asked rhetorically to himself as he lounged back into the seat of the couch.
"Don't give him such a hard time man. It's how he gets out his pain… let the boy be", Jeremiah said while he marked a few notes on some papers. Bobby scoffed, and continued to stare at the woman waltzing across the TV screen, flipping over letters on a giant green-board. He sighed. "Ding-Dong", was heard from the door, making him and Jeremiah both wonder what was up.
Bobby walked over to the door, looked through the peep-hole, and noticed it was a girl. He looked down from her face to her chest… scratch that… he noticed the woman. "It's Seulange", he said with a smile, opening the door. He opened his arms to give her a hug, until he noticed the guitar case in her hand. "Oh Fuck, not another one of those things…", he said with a pained look on his face.
Seulange gave her most genuine confused look, and said very shyly, "Hello to you too, Bobby". He smiled, "Come in , come in, what the hell's wrong with me", he said sarcastically as he picked up her suitcase and followed her in through the door. "You're staying with us right?", he asked. She nodded as she warmed up her hands.
Jeremiah looked up from his papers and noticed Seulange standing in the doorway. "When in God's name did you grow up?", he said with a smile as he went over and gave her a friendly hug, which she gladly returned, although not knowing all too well why. "So how you been?", he asked with a smile. "Good, I guess", she answered shyly still. Jeremiah laughed, "Haven't seen you since you were yay high", he motioned well below his knees with his right hand, making Bobby laugh.
"Well, in any case, it's good to see you, even if it's under bad circumstances", Jeremiah finished, slowly turning and walking back to where he was working. Angel looked up after a long while, finally noticing Seulange, and merely gave her a wave. He could scarcely remember meeting the young thing that long ago, so he hadn't felt compelled to be buddy-buddy towards her… unless he could get some. Which by the look she had given him, was very doubtful.
Bobby rolled his eyes at Angel, then picked up Seulange's suitcase, "Come on, lemme show you where you will be staying, milady", he said the last word with humor in his voice, making Seulange feel a little bit more at home, and a little more comfortable.
