The movie we picked was Thor: Ragnarok. About the time when Mjolnir got crushed, I received a text message. I had forgotten to silent my phone and some self-righteous dickwad behind me had to hiss “SHHHHHHH.”
I quickly took out my phone and switched it to silent mode. To my surprise, the text message was from Tommy.
=======================================
Tommy: Heard you are meeting up with the old gang.
========================================
I fired back a reply.
========================================
Barry: Yeah. Winston organized a get-together. You should have come.
Tommy: I’m not in town right now. Who’s there?
Barry: Winston, Alicia, Chelsea, Stella, Thomas, Jon, Patrick, Brian.
Tommy: That’s it?
Barry: Yeah, not everybody’s home.
Tommy: What you guys doing now?
Barry: Watching Thor.
Tommy: Sounds boring. I want to give you a present.
Barry: Sounds damn gay wei. What for?
Tommy: Don’t be like that. I want to show my appreciation for letting me be with your mum.
Barry: That’s another thing wei. What the fuck did you do?
Tommy: Why? You don’t like?
Barry: That’s not the issue. My mum is not herself anymore.
Tommy: Trust me. She’s more in touch with who she is now than she has ever been.
Barry: What in the seven godly fucks are you talking about?
Tommy: You guys at the downtown mall cinema? Go to the restroom and wait in the last stall at the far end.
Barry: Wei, I’m serious about my mum. I dunno whether to be scared or angry wei.
Barry: Hello?
Barry: Oi!
==============================================
Bastard.
As always I have no clue what he is up to. Luckily, I was sitting at the right end of our row so I didn’t stir up much fuss when getting up and going to the restroom.
I slipped out into the hallway and made my way along the carpeted corridor. The restrooms were on my left in the middle of the hallway. I went inside and saw that there were two other guys going about their business. One at the sink, and one at the urinal. I gave each one of them a wary glance, unsure of whether they were part of Tommy’s surprise present. Luckily, the last stall at the end was unoccupied. I entered and locked the door. To my relief, the toilet was relatively clean. I shut the toilet cover and sat down.
With nothing to do, I pulled out my phone and messaged Tommy.
==============================================
Barry : I’m here.
==============================================
No reply.
I began to grow impatient. I could hear the other two guys outside finish up and leave one by one.
After several more minutes, I was ready to head back out. I can’t believe I’m missing the movie just to be toyed around like this.
Suddenly there was a knock on my toilet stall door.
I hesitated for a second. Then I took a deep breath and opened the door.
What the fuck?
