Izzy

His gaze pierced through my soul as he crossed his arm with a firm stance , his entire body worked towards a single goal : crucifying me .



" I was in a hurry . That's why I ignored Clinton "



" Don't give me that bull crap " He snapped his index finger on the chair like he was lighting a matchstick.

Well the fire had been lit and every attempt to extinguish it would be medicine after death , even beach sand was useless in this case. Right from the moment he let me into his living room, the a.c wasn't enough to cool down the tension as I sat uncomfortably receiving lash upon lash of tongue battering.

The fair skinned lady had changed her clothes . She put on a tank top leaving her bare legs and laps enslaving the imagination as it begged for more of the above.



" I'm talking to you " Dani snapped again for the fifth time.

" I've been busy that's all.. I really have been up with so much..."


" with what exactly huh? tell me because ..."


" You are not giving me the chance to, you keep yelling into my.."


" I don't understand you anymore. I mean this is not you, come to think of it ..."



" Dani please listen to ..."



" No. you listen. To.Me . Izzy ." Dani barked and sent fear upstream my spine.



" Izzy this is not you. The Izzy I know curses , smokes .The Izzy I know thinks life is a joke and can't wait for it to end , she swears often and never looks down when talking to people, but you. I mean this new Izzy. She is different .You are different, Because the Izzy I know, even with her ugly character would never lie to me, pretend maybe but she would never. Never . lie to .me "


That last statement made me think "Are you sure about that?. I ve lied more times than I can remember .* I found myself smiling childishly to the idea.

I racked my brain afterwards trying to place a finger on the identity of this strange lady in Dani's apartment and everytime , I failed.

she tried to interfere in our argument.


" Hold your tongue " Dani cut in.


" I only wanted to resolve the issue . I'll just be in the room . Call me if you need me."



" No stay " I cut into their convo" What's your name please? Have we met before?

I feigned concern and hoped on getting somewhere with the starter.



" me? she said pointing her chest cavity.


" Yes . Have we met before ?The face is familiar "

* I wish that was true, sorry dear I have to save my relationship and you are a threat to it*



" why do you care? Dani invited himself " You have no right to"


I was shaken up and terrified as shivers ran downwards this time on my spine.


" It was just a question " the round faced beauty protested " I think I should answer it. At least for the sake of courtesy "

Dani refused her option and rather commanded more authority by deeming every question unfit for answer except they came from him. He was so confident and too sure of his actions.

" And I mean nobody . Except me" he concluded and sipped his bottle of beer"


I couldn't understand why he treated me like a cheap hoe off the streets without any freedom of speech but my only duty was to please a wicked master when called upon. it was simply dehumanizing.



" Why do you treat me as you would your slave? Eh Dani? I want to .."


" Be quiet Izzy "



" sorry Sir " I said and zipped my mouth shut.



He paced the sitting room and touched his golf stick which layed on top a shelve . The object had a lot of stories about his past , the bond between him and his dad which I could not start to explain given the condition I was at the moment.



Izzy " he gazed into my eyes " You know. Two of us know actually . That you know . I know . We are not kids anymore."



" Yea I do."


" And yet you don't know that no matter what you do, I'll still love you effortlessly "

I smiled like a dog fed a huge lip bone for Christmas.



" Even when you are caught on tape sleeping with that good for nothing Ade" he concluded unexpectedly with a wicked stare , while tossing his bottle to a wall above my left ear.



" Jesu* my heart leapt with shock and I was confused -I was afraid " wait. Dani that 's a big allegation without prove , what do you mean ? I slept with Ade ?



" Haha ! she still denies it , can you imagine " he turned to the girl who was silent ever since" can you belive this ? .



" Izzy . You want prove eh? I'll give you prove " He grabbed my arm" get out of my house!!



" Dani please wait. I can explain "

" too late for that " he pulled me " I'm not a f*uck boy Izzy, I can't share my bae with another man , old enough to to be my senior brother"



" please wait " I said in tears trying to get the clear picture.

He dragged me. I scrambled off the floor. I hoped for a miracle as I watched the girl on the other end of the room standing and feeling helpless, . It was awkward though as I was sure she knew something about the whole story and even more.



" How could you Izzy? are you that cheap. I gave you everything, what didn't I give you , huh? tell me. " Dani let go of my arm and rammed his fist into a wall nearby, he tried to hold back a pool of tears begging to come forth. " And you wanted his juice so badly, so badly Izzy , that you were too careless and got caught on tape. Sex Tape Izzy. Sex tape!! You know how awful it was for me when I saw it? huh? Sex - for demon's freaking sake - tape Iziegbe"



He turned and left me on the floor, beaten up internally and famished by nature. Was it my fault? I couldn't tell. only if he had stopped me from talking to Ade in the first place, these recent events would not have taken course.



" Dani please, listen to me" Jane Doe called him .

" Izzy " Daniel stopped in his tracks and stared " You disgust me, get out of here . I don't want to see your face by the time come out in five minutes." he paused " else you'll be sorry "



He left through the corridor and slammed his door which gave a big bang.

In tears and whimpering , I got up from the floor and left with my demolished -and fallen pride.












Efua



"I need to go and get my phone in my room" I said releasing my palm off Nosa's religious grip .

"Wait . Don't worry . The phone won't fly , will it? I know for sure that anyone who wants to wish you well, would send messages if you don't pick after several calls. C'mon it's your birthday party and you are bailing out?

His eyes glowed with a splint " This dress is just marvelous . Uyi has an eye for good stuff " he concluded.

I was speechless and hoped it would end soon, the urge to escape was deep.



After the surprise birthday package and numerous gifts, I had gone inside to change into an outfit for the occasion, little did I know that it was the biggest mistake I ever made. Uyi had bought me a dress and I tried the gown on but was ashamed of it and myself. It barely crossed my kneecap and made me look more of a hoe than a responsible girl.



*lord have mercy * What have you done Efua? The thought deposited guilt into my mind .

To make matters surprisingly worse, Nosa gave me a pair of high heels to match the dress. I tried walking with them and it was easy, until I fell twice and almost lost four teeth. you see the problem?



Nosa turned and continued with his enjoyment leaving me to my predicament.

" The is dress is killing me" I said to Uyi when he crossed by with beer bottles in his right hand and glass tumblers on the other.




" Wait. Wait. You look so damn Hot .Trust me Efua, this is the real deal . I went through hell getting you this dress, don't tell me you don't like it"



" You see? " I surveyed my body " that's my problem , I can't stop thinking that I am more of a lovepedler in these clothes." I bit my lower lips" I'm taking them off immediately"


I moved past him and a few other people who were dancing and drinking. Uyi hurriedly blocked me and dropped off the items in his hands into a safe corner.

" Hey! stop " he pushed me back " sorry. . But no way I'm letting you put on one of those safari express robes. Whats wrong with this blue gown?



" Everything "


" It's beautiful "


" No its seductive and too obvious , see my cleavage hanging out like. .." I paused and sighed " never mind"



'" Haha! I know what you mean , but don't worry, nobody will remember what Efua Barry wore on this night after this much booze and grooving " he said pointing to the mini crowd behind him.

I tried to understand what he meant by that but it was all confusing from every angle. something was not in place,everything in fact was fishy.



" Whats up here folks ? Nosa danced to our direction " why the bad blood?




"This dress is is a disgrace " I began " it is stuck up on my backside and every time I pull it down to cover my knee, it comes right upwards immediately like a window blind and catapults unto my hips. Now I look like Sharon Stone. "

Nosakhare laughed and told me to calm down. He explained why he thought it was not a problem at all and even gave me an experiment.



' Okay watch " he turned and darted his eyes to different angles of the room " hey ! Jerry come over here " He located his friend in the crowd.



When Jeremiah - a friend of Nosa who was probably a fellow Corp member ( I had no idea ) - was nearby, it was obvious that he was drunk and damaged.


" Jerry look here " Nosa pointed to my dress" What's this lady wearing?



I wondered what was going on. Jerry stared closely at my boobs then muttered some inaudible words . He focused on my hips then slapped his forehead softly. After he was assured he had seen enough, he pulled away.



" well? Nosa asked

Uyi observed and to my greatest surprise , Jeremiah said



" She is wearing a pink shirt and.." he shallowed down his regurgitation " and eh... A navy combat jeans. "



Nosa laughed " OK that's all Jerry . Thank you. now back to the party Bro " he turned to me " You see . I told you .So just relax and have fun. In fact take this"


Uyi patted Nosa's shoulders and left us to join his meriband of friends on the dance floor " It's from dusk till dawn baby. Woooooo! !! He gave some people the bottles of beer he had in his hands earlier.

I stood there contemplating the situation and how the events turned out. Deep down I knew everything was wrong . I knew it in my gut and hoped it was all a dream.





" Efua ? Hello ? Nosa called back my attention. " Take this glass of wine. it's good and yea, I now what you're thinking but it's alcohol free" He stretched out his hand.



I hesitated and I did not know what to say, I was afraid not of the drink but afraid of what I was doing . I was not functioning on my own will but doing the bid of an unknown force and power.

" Okay you prefer soft drinks, I'll just go and.."



" No . I'll take this . Thank you "



" It's good wine ." He smiled



" But just this once. "

" Yea baby . Just. one. cup " Nosa said with a spark of hope in his eyes as I gulped down the entire content . It was really good and tasty.

" Now come on , he pulled me softly " I want to make a toast.

t tell. only if he had stopped me from talking to Ade in the first place, these recent events would not have taken course.

Chapter 9


Efua.



I came out of the mall that looked triple the size of any shopping centre I'd ever been to. it was popular and many people talked about it. It was expensive though, even a joke thrown at you in it was considered, well not too expensive from my point of view.

I was doing a little shopping for my birthday three hours ago . Everything moved fine and I enjoyed the cool Gospel music of Sinach's " I know who I am" . It came from the the speakers in the sound system.





" Is that your wedding gown? a voice asked.



The voice was tiny and I saw a cute little boy of about six starring at me when I turned. I wondered what he asked about because I held a fancy plastic cup in my hand. I held out the cup but the boy shook his head in disapproval.



" what? I don't understand "



" The tip is touching the floor "



" What tip ?



" The white gown . If you want ,I can tell my mommy to give you one of her gown . Her clothes are not so long " he said smiling.



I turned to look if there was any gown around. I was wearing a blue top with a .... I realised something. He meant my skirt , my milk skirt . Oh naughty little boy.



I smiled and gave him a pat on the head.



"it's a skirt , not a gown ok. what is your name ?



"Kelvin . " he paused and looked at me awkwardly " but it looks like a wedding gown. can't you see the tip touches the floor and it's has flower designs ?



" OK. fine it's a gown. A very long gown" I sighed .

I turned to continue my shopping.



" Are you celebrating ? What's your name? kelvin asked me.

" Yea . Efua Barry" I looked at him.

" Birthday ?

"yea "

"for who ? can I come? will there be cake?

" Mine- kelvin where is your mommy? I asked .



" she should be here, somewhere " he shrugged his shoulders " I don't know "

" okay Kelvin. Do you know that Jesus loves you? He died for us . For you and me on the cross of.." I was preaching to the young boy when his mom came calling in a frantic mood.



" kelvin?!!! Kelvin !!! where is that boy ?

When she found him with me, she thanked me and dragged him along , scolded him for running off in a big mall . The little boy was too happy to be sad.



" bye Aunt Efua. Happy birthday !" he turned and smiled, still in his mom's grip.



" Bye bye .Kelvin '



" Mummy mummy see ! see. Her tummy is so big. Is there a balloon inside? I want mine to be as big as that."

Kelvin's voice came when a pregnant lady pased by the section we stood. She was heavy with child.



" it's the slap that i will give you that is inside , if you don't Keep quiet " his mother replied.



I shook my head and continued my shopping. .

***



I stood outside waiting for a cab. I finally got one and left the mall.

When I got home, it was bright outside and the sky was still blue but I was surprised to meet the entire house quiet and the living room pitch black .



I became afraid and thought that bugglers had broken in.

I brought out my phone , dropped my bag on the floor and tried to call for help.



" Surprise "!!!



The voices came as one and the lights came on at the same time. The living room was filled with people, party balloons, fancy bulbs and decorations with a beautiful cake on the table. Nosa and Uyi were present , each gave me a hug but I couldn't find Rita anywhere.

" awwwnn " I said in shock . " this is so nice of you guys. I never expected. .. thank you so much"

" don't worry .. come here , it's your day " Nosa said with open arms.

Tbc.

Izzy




" Chai !! Five F9's . Five of it, you didn't even leave any for your co-blockheads. "



Iya Ibikun scolded IBK when I passed by her Boli stand in Ekosodin. Her voice made me stop for a while, I listened but didn't interrupt. Any time she yelled out,there was trouble.



" Mummy , I have two teachers o"

" Ehen, so what does two teachers have to do with five failures. "



" One likes me, the other one does not . So when our report card come out --"



" the one that liked you gave you an A in Edo language , chai ,A in Bini : a language that we don't even speak. Ok o " Mummy Ibk continued while flipping the report card pages. " the one that hates you then gave you five big F's with equal nines abi?



" I passed English o , Mummy see nah . I got D' IBK tried to cheer up his mother .

People passed by, some even laughed to the joke yet some ignored them. I just stood silent,and listened.



The poor woman was tired of her son's nonchalant attitude towards education. If she had been my mom, I wondered what she would have said in in a situation like this.

After a while , I walked away with a blank smile when she replied Ibk who tried to prove his intelligence.



" Yes. You are too brilliant and its very obvious , you came Third position . Third from the back actually , 49 out of 51... " she opened her eyes " I'm so proud of you ..oya take the result and get out as my sight. idiot"



I would come back for that . later.

I had left the hostel in a rush but that litte incident made me reduce tempo.

I boarded a shuttle which was going towards the school's main gate and I was not relaxed at all.

" Please can you adjust ? I asked the man seating on my right side.

He didn't reply , instead he looked blankly at me. I had to endure his pouring ocean of sweat.



" Oh dear , should have taken a cab. which kind of wahala is this?

I tried to escape the moment by brainstorming, * what would I say to him. How would I keep my tongue to utter it. Will I have to kneel down to say " Dani please im sorry.. for ignoring your calls, I've been busy hating you . but Now I miss you ?'



No that's stupid, Izzy. don't say that.



Then my phone rang. Great . I thought ,who could this one be now?

I barely slided the green pick up button when the man sweating hit me and also the phone off my hands.

Was that a mistake ? Maybe a reflex action but he sure didn't care as my phone went off hitting the car floor.



" Oga , what is your own nah? I yelled out



He was as brick silent as would my room mate : Kechi.

He didn't say a word and I protested even more only to be consoled by the bus driver when he changed gear to make a left turn.



" miss , why are yelling out nah? Calm down . The matter has not gotten to you insulting my brother. He can't even reply to your accusations , so take it easy."



" why ? I asked in the middle of other voices in the bus.

I hated people telling me to take it easy when I was angry.



Other passengers , mostly students had joined my protest but suddenly kept quiet when the driver made his point. He narrated his relationship with the said man, and concluded by answering an eager question.

" because he is deaf and dumb"



wonderful. I frowned within a forced smile as the man waved a sorry arm and smile. Just great after ruining my day.

****



I got off the bus at Basement ,a building opposite the Faculty of Pharmacy. It was built with an underground hall and most of its sections are below ground level. A massive structure indeed, notable for only one thing :its hot temperature in the afternoon

I switched on my phone and lucky the screen hadn't cracked. The parts were intact too, but my problem was unique : no airtime to call back the number.



" And even more terrific, I can't borrow airtime. Limit exceeded and my bank account is less than five hundred naira. " I said walking along the Streets of Osasogie .

I thought that was all, but somehow the day just started to get even crazier .



"Aisose ? No way . How did he?- how did he come out of -?



The words choked me and I recalled the night he tried to rape me . How Ade had rescued me. And the blackout.



I was afraid that he might do something terrible to me and I froze in my tracks . My slippers got smaller.

He came right at me. He smiled .

That was weird.



" Hi Izzy . I'm not a ghost , so don't pretend like you see one except --" he paused



" I thought you were in jai-" I said trying to be calm before he cut in again.



"Jail? . haha ! Izzy that's funny you know. But I'll leave you to your dreams, seeing you know little of what is happening around you. That night was was only a job , Izzy. one I've spent the money on good living in Lagos. "

he scoffed and brushed my shoulder .



" take care Izzy ."



Did he just say "a job ? who paid him ? or is he bluffing to make me think he wasn't in custody ?



" Aisose .. wait "

I turned and looked into his eyes .

" who paid you for it?

" can't tell you that Izzy. it's a breach of contract if I do "

With that he walked away and left me wondering. Who would do such ?

******

Dani's place was designed to his taste. The rich kid of a business tycoon, what would you expect if not an exquisite lifestyle with expensive gadgets and furniture. He stayed alone in a two bedroom flat and I had always been happy coming into his apartment, but that particular day was different.

I was afraid and guilty.



I knocked at his protector and couldn't stop flipping my fingers. I was shaking all over. Freezing with fear.

" You can bail yourself now , Izzy . Just turn around and go . He is not out yet " a voice inside my head came repeatedly.

Maybe I should.

I turned and made it for the gate when a metallic noise cried from behind. The iron door of Dani's apartment was opened.



I made a u- turn, hoping Dani would be kind enough to at least let me in.

" I know you have every right to be angry at me but I --uh , uhhh." I paused after opening my eyes to see a pretty lady standing at the entrance , half unclad with her cleavage barely hidden .



* who the fu*k are you? I asked in my mind.



" Yes " her voice came " who are you looking for?

I was speechless , even torn apart as the door became wide open and Dani came in view.
