sweetie, I can bet it that you haven't gotten one quarter of the insults I received here on nairaland alone. some even said I should give up on writing, saying I have no talent. but guess what, the same set of people are my greatest undercover customers buying my books.

I have taken time to read through all the posts from page 0 to the last page and I can say it with boldness that you are good at your write up. its among the best I have seen around here. but let me chip in this,

* find a way to bridge the gap between your rich fans and the other counterparts who can't afford to buy.

* study more on how to handle critics and insults. I think the best method that worked for me was to ignore the extreme insults and win the hearts of the minor "insulters"

* be closer to your fans and let them see a reason to support your hustle, you can't achieve that violently.

* don't be too comfortable, work more on your writing and story telling skills.
according to my best quote in 3 idiots. " chase excellence and your passion, then success will chase you pants down.

jeez, that you don't have talent? I wish some of this critics tried writing a story...
dem never tell me that one yet...I pray I have. d grace to overcome such hurtful words
Thank u so much Onihaxy...you've really inspired me..,.
maybe we could write a story together here....sometime

AM SORRY PLZ HAVE MERCY ON ME

***
‘hey…..don’t be jealous’ Femi brushed her fingers with his, he was in the mood to flirt and here was his prey….

‘jealous’? Ada smirked….and pulled her hands away from him

‘yeaaa….i saw it in your eyes….i saw fire in them when I talked to her’ he pointed at Bola’s retreating figure….

‘how’s that my business? Am married o….my husband is coming back soon’ she winked and leaned back on the chair…


Trying to figure his game out….this guy was hot and since she walked in, she couldn’t help but fantasize about him….

What was he like in bed? Well no one could blame a new bride from fantasizing about another man….just that Victor lacked prowess in sexual matters and it bothered her

She couldn’t bring herself to tell him else his ego would be damned….yes, he was a good guy, loving and caring….he helped her believe in herself and her dreams…but she wasn’t satisfied, she wanted more….

Victor couldn’t give her more….but she’d vowed never to hurt him in any way…she’d made that pledge in her hearts of hearts…

It was just going to be difficult to keep to it as Femi’s eyes darkened with passion….passion for her? She wondered…he was a flirt….so she simply dropped her shoulders….

‘what’s she thinking about’? Femi called the waitress once again….he was thirsty, his mouth felt dry…he needed a drink…

‘none of your business playboy’ she pouted….

‘don’t call me that….’ He insisted…

‘so what are you? Who are you?...you know am curious, tell me’ Ada accepted the glass he offered her…. She wasn’t too good with liquor….but who cared? She was in a freaking club….and she had to act like a Roman…

‘what? Don’t you like the drink’? Femi observed her reluctance to empty the bottle….

‘uhmmm…it smells a bit strong though’ she peered into the glass…

‘it’s DON VIGO with a tinge of Vodka…….’ He explained….

‘oh….okay….lemme take this first’ she picked up her phone and read the text message that had just entered her phone….

DARLING I WENT HOME STRAIGHT TO SEE MUM….WOULD BE BACK IN THIRTY MINUTES TO PICK YOU UP…LOVE YA. STAY SAFE.

‘am waiting…..’ Femi watched her….she had a beautiful neck, thankfully Vega wasn’t here to discourage him….

‘for?’ she met his seductive gaze….was he flirting with her? Well Victor wasn’t coming back anytime soon …last she checked, flirting wasn’t a sin….

‘us to drink….’

‘alright….let’s do this….’ She swallowed the drink in a hurry and it burnt her tongue….

‘did you like that’? Femi shifted close to her….hoping Victor wouldn’t return soon….

‘tell you what….let’s dance….’ The mixture had started working on her sooner that she’d expected….

‘let’s dance….’ She repeated herself….and offered her hand….

‘sure darling…we could do more than dancing…’ he smiled darkly and took her hand in his….



***
‘where the hell is he’? Vega hissed loudly….he’d been outside for more than thirty minutes and he hadn’t seen a sign of Ismail….

Worse still, his number wasn’t going through….what kind of frustration was this? He had to leave, he had to return home….

Here wasn’t safe, with her around….how could he face her after all the mean things, mean words he’d spoken to her?

He leaned against the car and inhaled deeply….wondering if Femi had spoken to her….wondering if he’d gone through with his plan….

Certainly, he wouldn’t…..she was in love with her boyfriend….the young man that had collided into them earlier….

That reminded him of the way he limped….what had he gotten himself into?

He was getting nosy over things that were irrelevant….but he liked her….she was so beautiful tonight, just like the first time they’d met….

Bola was an attractive girl, what fascinated him most were her full lips….the soft flesh of her lips could send a man to heaven in broad day light….

‘no…’ he shook his head….he liked her body and how she tasted….but he didn’t like her….no, Carol was the love of his life, he was sure of that…

But lately, they’d been no connection whatsoever, between them…he blamed everything on his tight schedule, he didn’t even have time to shave….

He rubbed his chin at the thought….his job consumed most of his time, he was quite sure that was the major factor that caused them to drift ….

He closed his eyes and waited for the memories of that day to find him….why was he even thinking about her?

The way her soft body glided over his….the way her clear brown orbs glazed with pleasure from what he was doing to her….

The first time was just perfect…but the second time he’d fooled her….hmmm, that was something else…

He yearned for that moment yet again, she was an expert lover….that was one of the reasons he liked call girls…

They knew how to give and receive pleasure, they made little things like ear bites…rubbing of the edge of fingertips, such innocent touches feel so pleasurable….

He groaned silently and forced open his eyes ….he needed her….he needed her to quench this fire that was spreading to his groin…

He picked up his phone and dialed Ismail for the third time…he had to leave, he had to find someone….to cure his crave…..

But he couldn’t touch her again, as much as he wanted to…he wouldn’t…he’d hurt her enough….bruising her ego was enough for him….

‘Hello Ismail….where are you’? he fired angrily….

‘Boss……..’ the loud noise from the speakers cracked the line and it went dead….

‘sh*t’ ! Vega slammed the car out of frustration….he was getting hard and that was terrible ….


***
She’d managed to get as far as possible from the noisy club….Rose and Dami where going to have mad fun….she was sure of that…

‘here we go….’ She hummed a song and walked towards the area where cars were parked….

‘We be all night, lo…ve…lo…ve…drunk in lo…ve yea…’ she sang sweetly and settled on the car that stood beside theirs….

She sighed and leaned on it…he’d gone certainly…she looked around the area as if she could find him…but he wasn’t there…

Their eyes had met yet again, in the club when she walked in, her stomach had rumbled like she’d taken a laxative….but it was butterflies….

She’d never felt this way before…she knew it was love…it was beyond infatuation, why was he always on her mind?

‘if only you knew how much I cared….’she held herself from crying…. He brought so much pain to her world…

If only she knew she’d fallen in love with him, she would never have agreed to meet with him…but what could she do? She needed the money…..

‘okay….you can’t do this now, you have to be strong….’ She but her lip and brought out her phone….maybe she would call him…yes, that was totally perfect!

She felt stupid for going quiet on him earlier….she had been very determined but soon as she heard his voice, all her courage fled her…

‘Never mind I’ll find someone like you…..i wish nothing but the best for you….’ She turned on her camera and sang Adele’s first hit….
Maybe sad songs were meant for her…..

But she forced a smile for the camera…..
‘CLICK’!!!!!
She would call him when she was done taking her selfies….she had to hear his voice….

…………………………………………………
He jerked his eyes open as he heard the familiar voice….the voice that brought peace to his soul….was he dreaming….

She was around here…was she stalking him? Well he had to leave….he couldn’t see her this way…all the lustful fantasies he’d about her….

He scanned the whole field, searching for her…he followed the sound of the voice….

She was three cars away from where he stood….he felt glued to the spot and suddenly felt nervous….
That was new, he never felt nervous around women, yea, he was Vega Oluwatosin, women felt nervous around him….

‘Ismail, you’ll pay for this’ he tried to calm his nerves….if not for him, he wouldn’t be here to face her….was he prepared to face her? Apologize for his behavior?

Maybe it would be easier to text it to her…but he’d blocked her from his facebook….his head was a whirlwind of ideas….

He watched her from where he stood…. She seemed happy, but her song could depress any man… she was funny….

And where was her boyfriend? ….that was weird….watching her as she forced different smiles and kept funny faces for her camera made him smile….

His smile wasn’t forced….his heart smiled with him…and he felt content watching her from there…. Carol was beautiful no doubt, but Bola was meant for moonlight….

Her brown skin shone exquisitely under the moonlight, her hair reflected strands of silver….she looked very much a goddess….

He couldn’t resist her….he had to go to her….this last time…but would she have him?


He paused in his steps as a strange looking man walked towards her….but she hadn’t seen him….she was too busy with the camera….

At that same moment, Ismail finally called, but he ended the call quickly as the man covered her mouth with his large palms….


***
‘help!!!!!’ Bola screamed….but no one would hear her… she sobbed as it dawned on her that someone had crept un behind her unnoticed, whoever it was…planned to harm her….

‘shut the f**k up’ the man pinned her back to the ground, luckily, they were no guards around…
He’d watched this one as she strayed from the club…. She was his for tonight and he would give her maximum pleasure….

‘please don’t hurt me….’ She cried as he unbuckled his belt….

There was no chance of her escaping this huge beast….he was as tall as he was heavy….she even felt his weight on her….

‘only if you cooperate’ he rubbed her forehead with his large palms….

‘please….’ She closed her eyes….his hands were so rough against her smooth skin….

‘steady’ he released his weight on her and she gave a low cry….

‘somebody help me!!!!’ she screamed loudly….but he silenced her with a blow that caused her lower lip to bleed….

‘I warned you bi**ch….shut up and lay with me’ he focused on his stupid belt which had refused to go of….

She touched her lips with the tip of her tongue and cried silently….there was no escaping for her….he was going to rape her….

That thought brought more tears to her…she prayed for intervention of any sort….why did she have to suffer this way?

Then she saw the pair of legs that walked past the car….were they others that would harm her too? She swallowed….

Who was coming?

‘what are you looking at skank’? the man belged…….like he hadn’t bathe for two weeks….

‘get off her right now’…. Vega pointed the iron bar he’d gotten near his car….

‘Vega….’ She called him excitedly….

‘am gonna kill ya’ the man staggered and rose up to meet Vega….but the force of the iron bar on his knee cap, brought him to the ground….

‘you saved me Vega…you saved my life’ she rose up with his assistance and hugged him at once…

He looked at the drunk psycho that had attacked Bola….he was groaning ….

‘am so sorry about that’ he stared into her brown eyes….

‘no, it’s not your fault…’ she pulled away from him….how could he see her like this?
Disheveled and crying….

‘hey, hold up….you’re bleeding…’ he touched the soft edge of her lips….

‘yea’ she replied….this was a dream….was this a sign? That they were meant to be?

‘you need to get cleaned up…..’ he dialed Ismail….he was sure he had a first aid kit in his car….that would help…

‘don’t you think we should hurry out of here? or call the guards? What if he wakes up and comes after us’? she was frightened….

‘don’t be scared….he won’t hurt you….nobody would….’ He shook her reassuringly….

She didn’t know what to say….was this real, was this Vega?


‘okay…. I don’t usually do this….but am sorry Bee…am sorry for everything I did to you….the way I humiliated you….’ He paused and watched her for a while….why was she smiling?

Did he just call her Bee?

‘I forgave you long time ago….people make mistakes….if only you knew ……’ she bit her lip and looked away shyly, this wasn’t the time….

‘knew what? And are you this angelic or you’re pretending to be’? he watched her closely….how could she have forgiven him so easily….

He’d been with many women and he knew they rarely forgave….

‘yes….i forgave you….’ She nodded like an obedient child….

He wiped the blood with his fingers….the bleeding wasn’t that heavy…..her lips confused him, sent many signals to his brain….

‘forgive me for this too’ ….before she could respond….he slipped his tongue into her mouth….

Hygienity be damned….he pushed her gently against the car….she writhed against him, enjoying every bit of this exhilarating brutality….

HAPPY READING….

I LOVE YOU ALL….

Ma'am this epistle wasn't necessary, I already get how you feel and the energy you're putting into this. I don't know your scarletpearl, never read any of your stories before this so I was talking from first time impression. I'm pointing this out because I do not wish to be painted with the same brush as an alleged 'basher'. Your response wasn't the best but I didn't take offence at it because I know sometimes, writers can be temperamental about criticisms.

I'd honestly advise that even though you're human, you should keep your temper in check because really this is the internet. You can't control the opinion of others no matter how you try.

Once again, you're doing a nice job, more power to your elbow

alright.... you're right kinda...maybe I went overboard...
but don't lose interest altogether...
m having serious writer's block right now...

jodeer:
girl, i wasnt mentionin doz names 2 compare u 2 dem. Wasnt my intention. Sorry if u misunderstood. Y i said u are full of ur self is dat 4rm ur replies 2 criticism, u seem neva 2 apologise wia a simple apology would have cured all diz prolonged arguments u have with ur critics e.g d rip case. Well i have read many stories on nairaland but urs was d one in wch the op and the commenters have so much altercations over little or trivial tinz wereby a simple swt word would hav gone a long way in not draggin it so far. Well tanx 4d story u served us here, i had a gr8 tym while it lasted. And success in all ur endeavors.

thanks dear Jodeer. Amen o

onihaxy:
Hmmmmm. Just passing by.

The journey to one's fame as a celebrity/writer/entertainment has these set of people involved.

* fans who got your back and believe in you
* fans who will criticize and insult you at any slight chance
* fans who are mixture of both 1 and 2 above.

The truth is that we need all of this category. Handling and managing them is a science that every entertainer/writer needs to study and figure out.

What worked for A may not work for B.

Alright...but it ain't easy o

jodeer:
lolzzz....who told u 2b someone else? Who compared u wit someone? Dont be so full of urself, writers learn 4rm writers even great ones do learn 4rm upcomming so watz bad. U even said u are a good writer still learnin ur trade, why shy away 4rm criticisms or is it only praises u love or.... Mind u every writer is being criticised, it is how u respond dat either increase ur "attack" or reduce it drastically. Soft words cure a lotta tinz. Well like u acknowledge there is no block buttons here cos it is a forum. U can include dat in ur blog. Take care.

lol...now m being full of myself? when u was busy mentioning names...

okay na...I don't blame you much...
take care too...

meanwhile what do you think about this?

if you have better ideas....drop it biko

skarlett:
This lady no want make I go sha

Alright I take back my words, I'm still following but biko we have a lot of ground to cover, don't give us small updates abeg

I know its not easy but please try because the story's enthralling. More power to your elbow ma'am

I don't like when people behave this way....

some girl Scarletpearl said something similar...and when I replied in similar fashion people called me rude...

you don't pay me to write...you don't know if am working or am busy or am ill

besides there's something called WRITERS BLOCK...where a writer gets confused ...

I don't wanna destroy the plot of the story...

so I feel awful when people don't appreciate my very little efforts...

am saying this to everybody following me....
if you wanna unfollow the thread....
please do so...
don't tell me sh*t...
don't try to make me feel bad...
If you don't like the story plz move on...
there are over a million stories here...

I said I'll update everyday...and am trying...
given, we have a lot of ground to cover in this story.,,
but I hate rushing my ideas...
I want this to be perfect..,

with your constant motivation...
we'll finish this latest first week of September...
HOLD ME BY MY WORDS...

if you wanna go plz go...don't get me pissed off
am HUMAN with feelings not some toy...

jodeer:
nope, repogirl's false pretences was completed cos dat was d fest novel i ever read on nairaland. The i dont know of audrey timms cos i ve neva read her works tho av been hearin alot abt her. So back do d issue, nobody say she shouldnt monetize her work but she promised to complete it here and as her fest work, i believe she owes her fan that(tho no law stipulates such), but she made a promise and made us believe she would keep her promise....well she didnt. If she had directed us to her blog to complete it, it would have been better but stopping d work here and monetizing it is jst unfair 2 most of her fans. Secondly. Her reply to critics no be here at all o. Granted not everybody can be like repogirl(mrs delay is not denial lolz), onihaxy nd bibijay(my 3 best writers) in terms of tackling fans nd criticism but atleast dont be harsh on ur fans or trow in foul words to all ur fans, not all barking dogs u trow stone at remember? Her reply to austin binks was not cool even wen he stated his comment cooly, a fellow writer like her o. Well itz her choice but wat i believe in life is "make service in life with humility fest nd success will follow". Try to read oda writers works here nd learn how 2 reply critics, it will go a long way. My little advise to her. Tanx.

I don't need you advice dear...OK? save it...
when you guys start comparing me wif oda writers, it's kinda shallow on your part...
Am me, I can't be someone ...and will never be...
whatever I did is my business and I had my reason...
so u guys should live me alone...
keep your humility sermon to yourself...
And for the approach to my so called fans...
did you read wrong?
or didn't you see how i was attacked?
if you cannot view things from two different perspectives... please don't drop any comment here...

you know my greatest wish?
I wish we had a " block". button here

Thank you very much Sir

RolaDiva:
smiles. Angel you'r a good writer.
Buh sometimes you gotta take a chill pill.
comments and replies got me cracked up tho to the extent I forgot about the story i was reading. Lol.
I love your story. I understand what you going through, buh you have to shake sometinx off, even at your worst ends. Nobody wanna know how you made it buh they just know you made it.
You have to be a little nice and friendly to your fans. You no no who go help.
Nice writeup, read most of your stories tho.....

thanks very much for ur kind words

Olabantu:
Repogirls False pretence, was it completed before she put it up for sale, Audrey timms Unfulfilled Promises are now on sale and you can't get it free any where, safarigirls get a life is still were without progress so you should understand that we have individual differences, that she choose to commercialise her first story doesn't mean she is broke, Audrey Timms, repo girl and some other have done DAT and nobody talk so make una free this lady jare...ANGELSSS abeg we dey expect you for That awesome thread....

‘what’s that’? Dami was suddenly alert….


‘hey, you guys walk faster’ Rose continued dancing to the beats….


‘nothing….am fine’ she stuttered and missed a step but Dami held her back….


He was watching from where he sat, his dark eyes focused on her…..what was she doing here? was she stalking him?


Then his eyes darted to the guy he’d seen earlier….he had all the confirmation he needed…he was her lover and they both looked happy…..he averted his eyes and focused on the table….


‘let’s walk faster….’ She dragged his hands and they both passed by Vega’s table…..

‘pheeeew…..did I just see that’? Femi whistled as Bola walked passed them…..

‘man, you’re never gonna change…she already has a man bro, keep your eyes off of her….’ Victor shook his head and smiled….


‘I think I know her, she looks familiar’ Adaora added…. The girl was extremely beautiful and they’d met somewhere….

‘wow you do’? Vega suddenly brightened….he was curious to know more about her….why was that Dami guy so in love with her?


He’d seen their faces, illuminated with peace and harmony….they were happy and that shocked him more…. If only he knew the kind of girl he was dating….something else bothered him, did she like younger guys? Cause it was obvious Dami wasn’t her agemate….


‘Vega, why are you so interested…I thought I was the only bad boy here’…. Femi leaned closer and spotted the table where Bola sat….she was indeed very pretty….


‘none of your business bro….’ Vega replied….

‘ok, I think I remember….i think I know her from Holiday classes back then….her name is Bola…she was this sad little girl….’ Adaora paused….


‘wow why sad? What happened?’ Vega pressed on….he felt guilty for hurting her so much….just that one of his girlfriends was a call girl and she played a role in the breaking down of his parent’s marriage…


‘I heard from other students that her mother died when she was five …of cancer and her dad re-married ……..her stepmother maltreated her…’ Adaora continued ….


‘why are you so interested Vega’? Victor winked ….


‘gosh, brothers could be so nosy….nothing…am just curious’….


‘or you know her from somewhere…..’ the idea dawned on Femi….


‘am not saying sh*t….lips sealed’ Vega ignored his friend….he wasn’t liking the way Femi’s eyes gawked over Bola…..


‘that chick is hot!’ Femi slapped the table lightly….


‘I agree…but we have to excuse you guys….we’re going to dance’ Victor pulled his wife gently and kissed her….


‘see you later guys…..’Ada smiled and rested on her husband’s shoulder…

‘major killer….why did they have to come? Rubbing their love in my eyes….’ Femi hissed….

‘somebody’s jealous….go get your own wife….’ Vega replied….


He wished he could talk to her….he wished he could walk over to her table and apologize for everything….and prove to her that he wasn’t a mean person….


‘tell you what?’ Femi emptied his glass and straightened his shirt….


‘whoa….where are you going? Are you guys leaving me all alone’? Vega shifted uncomfortably in his chair….

‘that girl is the hottest girl I’ve set my eyes on since my return to Nigeria…am going over there and am gonna ask her for a drink….’


Vega felt anger rise slowly to his spine….how could Femi do that? He knew his friend was only after her body….he just wanted to play with her feelings and he wasn’t okay with that….was he jealous?


‘no, hell no…am not jealous….’ He waved his thoughts off….

‘are you okay Vega?’ Femi took one look at his friend….


‘uhuh….am fine….how do you think her boyfriend would take it’? Vega was amazed at Femi’s boldness at times….


‘ oh, you mean that boy that walked in with her….i dunno about you, but he looks like her bro or something….they have the same nose….’


Vega didn’t answer, he only shook his head….imagining how Femi would embarrass himself over there…..


He glanced at the table….they sat together…with two men and another lady …oh…that was Rose…he recognized her that instant….


‘slow down buddy….is there something you aren’t telling me? You know that girl from somewhere spill it….’ Femi saw the look in Vega’s eyes….


‘there’s nothing to tell bro….she’s in love with him….’ He drummed the table with his fingers…

‘jeez Vega….you’re jealous….who is she to you? A fling? A one night stand? N*gga cheated on Carol, I thought you loved that girl man’ Femi took a seat next to him….


‘it’s complicated….i don’t even understand what I feel sometimes…maybe hate…or love or jealousy….just that I can’t be with her….she’s scarred…’


‘what do you mean scarred? What’s wrong with her’?....


‘never mind bro…I think I should leave….you can drop by my house sometime’ there was nothing for him here…he had to return home….



***
Bola felt glued to her seat….her legs felt weak….what was he doing here? was Carol there? All her strength deserted her and she felt empty….


It’d been thirty minutes since they walked into the club and she’d turned around only once…


Dami was carried away by the conversation with Rose and the two guys that sat with them….they talked about football but her mind wasn’t there….


Her mind wasn’t at ease…. She yearned to see him, to talk to him….


‘are you okay Bee…. Don’t you like it around here’? Rose watched her friend closely….since they got in here, she’d acted weird….

First, she sat like they were bricks underneath her ass and now she was a complete recluse….


‘am fine Rose…..’ Bola avoided Rose’s eyes….her friend was too busy with her dance steps to notice Vega….


‘yea! Dorobucci….i so love that song…..who wants to join me on the dance floor’? Rose jumped up and began dancing….


The club went wild as the DJ played the hottest track ….

‘bring it on!’ the voices screamed as many rushed to the dance floor….

Her two friends didn’t wait for the invitation, they walked into the dance arena and hooked themselves up with some girls over the bar….


Bola wondered who the men where….she hoped her friend hadn’t started doing threesomes…

‘am in’ Dami rose up to the challenge…..


‘sure?’ Rose eyed him seductively….


‘Dami….you aren’t strong enough to dance….sit down….’ She ordered him….

‘come on sis, I didn’t come to the club to sit….i came to have fun….’

‘slow down Bee….have this Dami, it would strengthen you….’ Rose poured him some liquor ….

‘thanks….see you later sis’ he gulped the hot liquid down his throat….

‘hmmm….just be careful, don’t dance too hard….’ She watched as they left, was she wrong? But she’d seen the way Rose’s eyes darted over Dami’s body….


Something was going on between the two….something was brewing….well, they were adults but she knew what Rose was capable of, she didn’t want her dear brother to get hurt….

She would talk to him later….

She turned around to where he sat, but he wasn’t there….had he gone? She panicked….she’d missed her opportunity to talk to him….


The table was occupied with a fine looking man….and a lady who looked quite familiar….

‘well….life continues….’ She took a deep breath, she was alone now, nobody to talk to….nobody to love or love her back….


She picked up her purse and strolled out….maybe taking selfies outside SAVORY would make her feel better….

She rose up gently and walked towards the exit….

It was difficult at first, but some dancers managed to give her space….

‘Bola….’ She heard her name being called ….and she turned to face him…..



***

‘hey stop that…..’ Ada pinched Femi…..why had he called her?

‘isn’t that what you told us? That her name is Bola’? Femi winked and caught her hand….

‘yea….but you didn’t have to call her….’ Ada replied….

‘where’s Victor by the way’ Femi gently rubbed her fingers…her skin was smooth to the touch…

‘he went to buy some drugs across the street, his mother is at home and she wasn’t too well when we left her….’

‘oh…’

‘Come over….’ Femi waved to Bola….who watched him with bewildered eyes…

how did he know her name? she wondered ….

‘hello….’ She walked over….had Vega said something nasty about her?


‘Bola….am Adaora…I know it’s been long so you may not remember me….we attended holiday classes together in Mayflower Secondary School….’ She explained eagerly hoping Bola would remember ….

‘oh….i can’t really place that name but I know the face….you looked so familiar….so how are you?’ Bola smiled politely….trying to make conversation ….

She noticed Vega’s seat was empty….had he gone for real? She wanted asking but she held herself?

‘you are so beautiful Bola…I love you already….brown Sugar’ Femi smiled at her….

Adaora stared at him angrily….he made her feel like the only girl in the world minutes ago and now he was openly flirting with Bola….

‘well thanks….’ She returned his smile…he was handsome no doubt….but she knew his type….Mr kiss and tell and Mr hit and run….all she wanted was one man….Vega…

‘I know your boyfriend is cute….but you can gimme a try…I won’t hurt you, I promise…’ he continued….

‘wow…you’re smooth with words….and what boyfriend are you talking about’? she relaxed and leaned slightly on the chair…

‘the guy you came in with….where is he? I pray he left you for another girl, I’ll be so glad to continue from there’ Femi focused on her bare belly….

Crop top fashion was meant for her….her slim waist and flat tommy made her look like some ancient Egyptian goddess….

‘hello guys am still here’ Ada cleared her throat….


‘funny….’ Femi looked at her….

‘well just for the records ….Damilola is my brother….so get that right….’ This was getting interesting….

‘hmmm….you guys make a perfect couple’ Femi rolled his eyes, he’d been right….

‘okay….what’s your name’? she liked the guy, he was friendly….

‘Femi….can I give you my number too’? he winked at her….she was lively and not snobbish for her kind of beauty which was rare…

‘hahaha….see you later…have fun’ she waved at Adaora and walked outside…..

Getting into the club wasn’t quite easy, he’d never come here before but it looked abnormally crowded….


‘Boss….i think we should sit over there….’ Ismail pointed to a reserved area for V.I.P….


‘what if my friends can’t afford it….’? Vega reasoned before moving towards the area…


‘they should….it’s not that expensive….’ Ismail replied while scanning the whole room to see if there
was any other exit…


‘why don’t you run along and have fun instead of baby sitting me’? Vega eyed Ismail…he’d asked him to stay back but he declined …..



‘if you say so….call me, if you need me….’ Ismail duffed his hat and strolled to the bar…



‘what a guy’ Vega smiled….. he was starting to get connected to his Personal assistant and it would be difficult to get a new one….



He couldn’t wait to meet his friends, they had a lot of catching up to do….he closed his eyes and reminisced about their childhood days….



Femi and Victor had been friends from childhood….but they parted in their teenage years cause they attended different secondary schools….



They met again in their University days and became popular as the ‘three musketeers’… yes, they were that close….though he was closer to Femi as they shared a lot in common….



Femi loved women and they played around a lot…. Sometimes it felt like Femi was more of a brother to him than Tony….



But they lost connection after their National youth Service Corps…. Now they would meet again and resuscitate their age long friendship…



Victor on the other hand was the most reserved of the three….he wasn’t a player……he was the most intelligent of the three and the first of them to get married….


‘hey bro….’ a hand tapped him and Vega forced open his eyes….had he slept off?



‘who am I seeing’? he rose up and hugged his bestfriend….



‘Femo….am glad to see you…where’s Victor’? he released him and stared hard at his friend….Femi had changed…he’d lost a lot of weight but he was still as handsome as ever with those sharp dark eagle eyes….



‘I dey my brother….I came alone….though Victor asked me to wait up for him but I couldn’t …he seemed busy and I didn’t have time to waste….’



‘oh….the maga bin tell me say im dey bring him wife’ Vega switched to pidgin….the language of the Musketeers…



‘ah….y im go bring im madam come club na? him wan spoil show for us….’? Femi followed suit…. He missed Nigeria…



‘guy am proud of you, you still remember your language…you still recognize your heritage’ Vega stretched out his hands for a handshake….



‘my guy, nothing do me…I be original naija boy’ Femi took his hand and they burst out laughing….it was just like old times, nothing had changed….



‘So what’s up with you Vega….how’s Carol? How’s the Lion, Tony…how’s everyone’? he looked eagerly at his friend...



‘we are all fine, though things are a bit complicated….’ He sighed and beckoned to a waitress….

‘complicated? Wetin dat one mean?’



‘well, the lion has this business deal going on with one other company….he wants me to get married to the man’s daughter so they can seal the deal…’



‘whoa….that’s huge….are you gonna do it? Dump Carol’? Femi was concerned….he knew his friend loved this Carol lady so much….



‘I dunno bro….am lost…you know my father…I can’t disobey him….already he has seized one of my companies because I delayed…what do you think would happen if I refuse him’?



‘what’s the nature of the problem’? Femi’s eyes strayed to the beautiful waitress who’d brought them lambchops and Smirnoff ice…


‘ Femi, you still haven’t changed….’ Vega shook his head….no doubt he was a player, but Femi was way past him in flirting around….

‘hey….let’s not change the subject….’ Femi fetched a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth….


‘Okay….the man wants to get a loan from dad…dad is willing to give him this loan on the condition that his daughter must marry me….you see? Am stuck…’ Vega threw his hands in the air….

‘is she pretty’? Femi asked….

‘who’? Vega wondered….

‘your bride to be of course…..’Femi teased….

‘hell I dunno…I haven’t set my eyes on her before….but I think her name is Fikayo…’ he was surprised at his level of interest in the matter….he wasn’t prepared for marriage….

‘what if you go with your father’s plan? I know the lion bro, we grew up together remember? I think he knows what’s best for you….maybe he’s seen something in Carol that may not affect your life positively….just be brave….real men take tough decisions…’ he patted Vega on the back…

‘wow….is that what Austaralia did to you’? Vega clapped his hands as his friend had never sounded so wise….

‘whatever…hey, here comes Victor and his not so pretty wife…’ Femi winked at Vega…

‘I pray you marry a beauty pageant Femo or else….’ Vega didn’t complete his sentence…

Femi’s words still stung him….what if they were right? What if his father, Ismail and Femi were right? Was there something dark about Carol? Something they all saw but he was blind to?

He had to find out… he would do a lot of investigations later…about the two women that mattered in his life, First his mother…had his father’s words been true? Was she adulterous at some point in their marriage….secondly, Carol, he had to be sure…no one was pulling the wool over his eyes…


‘Victor my man….howfa? good evening Madam’ Femi smiled and extended a hand to the woman beside Victor…

‘Welcome Sir and Madam….we missed you all’ Vega arranged some seats and they settled next to him….

‘men, you guys totally forgot about me…it’ s been ages…’ he looked from Femi to Vega….

‘darling I don’t think you’ve met Femi before….he’s my bestfriend….’ Victor introduced his wife to Femi….


‘nice to meet you….’ She smiled shyly and took the hand he offered…

‘you’re very beautiful dear….what’s your name’? Femi switched on his playboy button…he could flirt with anything in skirt, not minding if she was Victor’s wife….

‘Adaora….thank you’ she felt her hands tingle as he scratched the middle of her palms….she stared into his dark eyes and felt lost….he was so handsome….

‘hmmmmm….’ Vega cleared his throat and gave Femi a stern look….what kind of game was that?


Luckily, Victor had been busy with some phonecall and hadn’t noticed what transpired between Femi and his wife, Adaora.


‘so what did you guys have’? Victor dropped his phone and called the waiter….

‘Lambchops and Smirnoff’ Vega replied absent mindedly….he wasn’t pleased with what he’d seen in Femi’s eyes….was he lusting after Ada? Why would he cross that boundary?

‘How was your honeymoon Ada’? Vega turned to her….they weren’t that close, they met only once before her wedding to Victor….

‘Hawaii was splendid…I’ve not seen such a beautiful place in a long while….have you been there’?


‘no…but I plan to’ Vega replied….

‘uhmmm with Carol right?’ she pointed her fingers at him to make certain her guess….


‘sure…sure….with someone special…’ she entered his thoughts again…he would try that number later…if she was the one, he would apologize to her….that was the right thing to do, but he wasn’t ever going to have any other thing to do with her….


Still, she irritated him….thought she sang like an angel…the reality of who she was stuck to his mind…..call girls needed money and jewelries but not love….



***

‘Open up bee…we’re late…we’ll miss Karaoke time’ Rose pounded the door with her fist, she would’ve arrived earlier but she’d stopped to refill her tank….

There was silence….where the hell was this girl? Rose peered into the house….

‘who’s there’? Bola screamed back….

‘it’s me….Dummy…open up…we gotta go…now it’s still hot in there’ Rose stamped her feet impatiently…

‘go open the door Dami…you’re already dressed…..let me wear my make-up over’ she pushed her brother forward and picked up her make-up kit….


‘girls and facial paint’ he stuck out his tongue and strolled to the door…thank god for those painkillers, he felt better and could now work normally but his chest still hurt…


‘Hello there….’ He winked at Rose and stepped aside for her to walk in…

‘what the hell are you doing here’? it was hard to keep her eyes of his muscular chest and he’d worn this body hug t-shirt….

‘someone missed my kiss….’ Dami walked closer to her….

‘stay away from me, you geek’ she wouldn’t give in to what she felt…she couldn’t resist his masculine scent…she had to try….

‘do you really mean that? Remember what I did to you in the kitchen huh?’ he rubbed his lips against her forehead….

‘stop it…we can’t do this’ all her resolve melted…she felt helpless as her body began to ache with throbbing…she needed him to fill her void…

‘I can’t stop it Rose…I really like you…can’t you see’?

‘nothing can ever come out of it….am a rough girl Dami….i don’t want to hurt you…’ she was able to look him in the eye now…

‘you can’t hurt me…am above that’ he leaned on the wall…

‘really’? she folded her arms across her chest…

‘yea….’ He replied…was she laughing at him?

‘alright, game on…we’ll see about that….’ She moved out of the house ….

Just in time, Bola appeared with her little purse and off they went…..


‘What’s SAVORY like’? Bola was curious….

‘we’ll see when we get there baby…was hanging out with some guys…’ Rose explained….

She looked over at Dami who sat beside her…he looked like he ws in pain…had something abd happened to him?

‘are you okay’? she asked….

He nodded and focused on the road….

…………………………………………………………………………….
‘We’re here’ Rose screamed loudly and handed her car keys to the guards that stood in the parking lot…

‘is that safe’? Dami asked….

‘sure…they’re employed by the Club management….she replied …

‘Dami’s just scared, you know how they do in white movies…but this is Nigeria…where a lot of sh*t happens’ Bola catwalked beside her brother….

‘let me hold you Dami….you look weak’ she wrapped her hands on his waist and he wrapped his on her shoulder….

‘way to go girl….should the media catch a glimpse of you….they’ll be so happy’ Rose rolled her eyes…if Bola wasn’t his sister, she would’ve been so jealous…


‘whatever….i love my baby bro….’ she pulled him closer and they walked into the club….

‘Wow….get lost in the music’ Rose wriggled her waist at the beats of the song….

‘Cool DJ…’ Dami smiled and watched her behind…she was so sexy under the colored lights….


‘let’s go to the V.I.P section…..my friends already paid for that’ Rose screamed loudly….but the speakers still swallowed her voice …

‘hold me closer Dami…you’re now taller than me o’ she pulled him closer to her…. Whoever did this to him was a devil….

So Bee and Dami just followed behind….


‘oh my god….’ Bola whispered frightfully as their eyes met yet again….
