Open house

My lab partner is this Japanese guy with a huge, huge afro who smokes a lot of weed and smiles all the time. I like him a lot, he always does his share of our work, and is super easy to get along with. We got a ton of work to get done for next class so I invited him over so we could get a bunch of it done now, and then finish up over the weekend.

Takura came home with me, and on the way he asked if I had roommates. "I have sisters," I told him. He nodded and smiled, "That's hot." Um, look Paris, they're not hot, they're little. When I said that he apologized and said he was just kidding.

We got home and Danielle was there but Alex wasn't. Her eyeballs almost fell out of her head - Takura is the first friend I've brought home from school. Luckily Dani pulled herself together, said hi, and we all sat down at the dining room table for snacks and homework. After about an hour, Takura asked if he could smoke. At the same time Danielle and I said no. I guess it came out kind of angrily, but I told him he could go on the fire escape to smoke. Danielle was kind of upset that I backed down from the no, but she can get over it.

After another hour, I wanted to take a break and start making dinner, but when Takura saw he came over to help and wound up showing me a much better way of chopping vegetables. He sat between me and Alex for dinner and said it was really nice to eat home-cooked food. Later, after we'd cleaned up from dinner and were back to studying, Alex asked Takura if she could play with his hair.

When we stopped, we played Wii to blow off some steam. Takura went home with fourteen tiny little pigtail puffs all over his head. I had fun.

He does know you have a boyfriend, right? It might have been why he asked whether you had roommates.
