This privacy was exactly what they required. James' parents were usually at work when he got home and didn't come back until later in the evening, so there was never any real worry of interruption.
This is where they often ended up after school. All of which were empty, except for the one James and Brent were in. The room opened up into the foyer, which led into the kitchen and hallway where the bedrooms were.
Set in the far corner of the room was a large widescreen T.V., James' pride and joy. Against the wall to the right of the couch was a bookshelf, locked liquor cabinet, fireplace and a rack of entertainment equipment, video game consoles, tapes and DVDs. There was a beige corduroy couch with a small coffee table in front of it directly across from the covered windows. With a press of a button, the movie started. James closed the drapes, darkening the living room of his parents house while Brent inserted the DVD into the machine.
