‘so can i join you girls?’ Ade queried
‘sure…’
‘not a chance!’ Brenda cut Daisy short. ‘Its a table for two, guys ain’t welcomed’
‘all guys or this guy?’ Ade replied
‘Don’t matter’ Brenda countered.
‘maybe for Daisy here, but for you…’
‘am perfect! Besides…’ Brenda sized him up again ‘… you’re not my kind of guy, so eva-po-rate!’ she completed cutting Ade off.
Ade was far from backing down, infact, he was excited by her attitude, he was one to hit on, sassy, spoilt and arrogant females, and this female here sure reeled of it! Her intonation and kit-up was another, he loved the ‘wild’ classyness spelling all over her. obviously, she had no idea how irritating and obstinate he could be. He smiled.
‘I could try match up’ He challenged further.
‘we ain’t in a biz of match making here’
‘I still don’t mind’
‘Don’t hurt yourself over trying, cos you ain’t getting it dude’
‘a trail will convince you!’ Ade continued, standing there confidently like that was his only care in the world.
‘i dont even give trails for convincing’
‘too bad, Cos you missing out sweet girl’ Ade said smiling. This was his kind of chick, he thought excitedly.
‘o please! Don’t call me sweet, cos i ain’t’
‘That’s better, cos i love them bitter girls’
‘okay! Its official’ Brenda shouted banging the table. ‘…you are a big
pain in the ar.se’. Giving him a scornful look she stood up. ‘and be
gone before i return! If you want no trouble!’ she completed, hissed and walked away her head raised high in pride.
‘trouble is my middle name’ Ade chuckled to himself. Then turned his attention to the foolishly smiling Daisy.
Daisy had followed the verbal
war between them in amusement, downing more and more of the wine, her mind was in a haze now and her body felt weak, the loud music was doing wonders to her nerves and hitting unrelently at her head. Daisy couldn’t tell how she felt at the moment.
‘your friend?’ Ade asked coming to sit at the just vacated chair. She
was obviously drunk, he thought.
‘yeah…’ Daisy giggled ‘…don’t let her attitude get to you’ a wave of her hand, ‘she gets like this when she wanna be on the defensive’ she completed, a funny smile playing on her face then made to pour another drink for herself.
‘don’t you think you’ve had that enough?’ Ade asked.
‘have I?’ Daisy asked foolishly and paused ‘just wanted to kill this
nervousness’ she shrugged and continued with the wine. ‘besides i love its taste’ she blurted, then drank a volume, bringing down the cup to smile foolis.hly again at Ade.
Ade smiled back. He couldn’t possibly stop a grown woman from indulging herself, now could he?
‘Jide didn’t come?’ he asked casually.
The question immediately changed her countenance, to be replaced with a forlorn look. She twisted her lips and dropped the wine, her mind momentarily flashed back to the note she had dropped on the dining before leaving that evening. Her eyes scanned the place for a clock, but saw none. Who would place a clock in a club? She wondered drily.
Daisy sighed, it became clear to her now what she felt.
Pain.
She exhaled deeply, her face betraying how she felt inside.
Ade noticed her changed expression, and found himself pitying her inspite of himself. Here was a woman who very well loved his brash friend. But here she was, probably doing this to spite Jide, or to prove a point to herself or satisfy her friend’s whim. He wasn’t sure which.
‘what’s her name?’ he asked
wanting to change the topic.
‘didn’t get that…’
‘her name, your friend who just left…’ he was repeating when.
‘This is where you’ve been? couldn’t you tame your flirtatious nature even for a while!’ a female voice shouted angrily.
They both looked up to see a lady, standing by their table, visibly angry with hands on her hips.
Lady in red! Daisy’s antenna picked. Her elusive brain could never ever forget this particular person!
‘Grace am so sorry, i sighted some friends and decided to come say hi’ Ade said standing up.
