Chapter 2 (Part I)
Jude stared at the entrance, his chin in his hand and eyes unblinking. He had been on the look out for Reigh for over an hour now, and Wayne was getting real frustrated.
" You're freakin' me out, man. She's not coming." When Jude didn't even flinch, Wayne slapped his forehead.
"He can't hear you." Jonsey chuckled from his seat on the couch that sat in the middle of Underground Video. "He's in love." Then, he bursted out laughing, falling from his seat onto the floor. Wyatt peeked over a row of movies from where he was checking to make sure the DVD's were all still there. He shook his head.
"Just give Jude a break. You have to admit, she was kinda cute." Jonsey sat up quickly from his position on the floor and looked over the back of the couch.
"Cute!? Is that all you can call her? More like hot, with a capital H!" Suddenly, he was hit over the back of the head by someone. "Ow!" He rubbed his head and looked up.
"Haha, dude. Very funny." Jude was standing over him, smiling. Jonsey smirked and stood till he was looking down at Jude.
"So. You finally broke free of your love trance. Took ya long enough." SLAP! Jonsey fell forward and landed on his knees, his hands over his head.
"Sweet, bra." Jude chuckled. Reigh bursted out laughing how Jonsey was acting towards her slap on the back of the head. He sounded like he was crying! Jonsey rubbed his head and stood, his face red, but he wasn't crying. Reigh fell back on the couch holding her sides.
"What'd chya do that for!?" Jonsey asked, his eye twitching everytime he touched his head. Reigh forced herself to stop laughing for a moment and shrugged.
"I-I... don't know." Reigh chuckled then exploded with laughter.
"Dude. Your girlfriend hits hard." Nodding his head, Jude winked at Reigh.
"You got that right, man." Jonsey narrowed his eyes, then turned around quickly and began walking towards the door.
"I'mma go get some ice." With that, he walked out of Underground Video holding his head. Jude helped Reigh up after she stopped giggling and they both walked over to the front counter. Reigh hopped up while Jude was helping Wayne, who was also laughing.
"Dude. You alright?" Wayne breathed in a gulp of air and nodded his head, tears of laughter rolling down his cheeks.
"Y-Yeah. I just... hate that dude... so much." Reigh raised an eyebrow.
"Who? Jonsey?" Wayne nodded his head as he wiped away some loose tears. "Why?"
"'Cause he likes M-16's." Wayne coughed and went to sit down on the couch while Jude hopped up to sit beside Reigh. Reigh shrugged.
"M-16's is an alright flick. I don't care too much 'bout it though." Wayne glared at her from his seat.
"How can you even think about that movie!?"
"Let me repeat myself- I don't care too much 'bout it."
"Then what movies do you like?"
"Hmmm.... let me see... Race, Baby, Race... umm.... Space Samurai..."
"Woah, woah, woah!" Wayne stood up. "You like Space Samurai!?"
"Classic masterpeice!" Reigh smiled. "Why?"
"Dude. You're, like, freakin' awesome!"
"Is he alright?" Reigh whispered in Jude's ear.
"I have no clue. He never acts this way. But Space Samurai is his favorite movie ever."
"Ooohhh..." Reigh nodded her head. Wayne was beginning to freak her out, so she decided to change the subject. "You wanna go grind some rails?"
"Totally." Jude grabbed his board, which lay beside the counter, hopped off the top, and helped Reigh down. "Where's your board, bra?"
"Right here." Reigh pulled out her deck from the opposite side of the counter.
"Sweet. Hey Wayne. I'mma take my break now. Alright?" Jude's mouth gaped open when Wayne answered.
"Sure, man. With that chick of yours, you can take as many breaks as you want!" Jude shook his head. He couldn't believe Wayne said that!
"Come on!" Reigh smiled, grabbed Jude's hand, and they both ran out the store.
