Chapter 46

]Thinking that Cue-Lounge was going to be our final destination before returning to the hotel was short-sightedness on my part. I forget 'Confra' guys had their own modus-operandi. Jafar announced that our next point was Grillaz, also situated at Lugbe. The three car convoy sliced through the cold Abuja night like hot knife through butter. Uche and Aji were in the Hilux, Sparrow drove the Volvo with Abayomi and Toun, while Jafar the three witches and I were in his Benz. I thought Fatima was going to attempt to sit infront with Jafar, but she sat at the back with her friends while I sat alongside him. Unfortunately, she sat directly at his back and kept leaning forward to talk to him as he drove. I brought out my phone and pretended to browse on one new site called Nairaland by an unknown programmer simply known as Seun. Most of the articles being posted were about the Presidential elections. Though unattractive, the site engaged me till we got to Grillaz.

Apart from Kuje and some minor towns in the FCT, Lugbe was the closest to Gwagwalada, so it was not suprising that a lot of University of Abuja students hung out at Grillaz. It seemed we were being expected because a standing occasion welcomed us as we entered the place. Guys with hideous faces…some were alright sha quickly greeted Jafar and co in a way that showed that they belonged to the same Sect. a couple of girls were around too, some covered with tattoos and fake eye-lashes. I doubted if they were students.

At Grillaz, it was more of standing than sitting; luckily the interior was air-conditioned so it was alright. The speakers were blarring and before long, salutations turned to dancing. The tattooed girls were trying to out-dance each other, Abayomi and Toun danced at the corner, though Uche interfered once in a while, I danced with a guy that would remain nameless for the rest of my life. I didn't bother getting his name, his breathe stank of Shepe, while the sweat from his body was noticeable. The Hausa girls sat down at the only available sofa, while Jafar and some other guys stepped outside.

I was glad when Toun came to meet me, hence ending my dance with Mr nameless

Toun: that guy just dey gum you for body…

Me: I don't know o, like say him neva see girl before.

Toun: anyways, I need to leave very soon, I feel it coming?

Me: what?

Toun: my period, ode..the sharp pain is occurring at quick intervals..

Me: you carry pad come?

Toun: Yeah, e dey room.

Me: have you told Abayomi?

Toun: lolz, the poor boy wan die. Said he has been preparing kama-sutra styles for me

Me: eyaa…but him suppose fit do am like that now, this time you don't even need to be wet sef, na safe journey.

Toun: you are a fool, I swear

Me: oya now lets go..

Toun: you can stay behind, I will be aii..i told Abayomi to remain behind

I ignored her and went to meet Sparrow, who was smoking probably his 50th stick of the day..

Me: bros we need to leave now..

Sparrow: hope no problem?

Me: no

Sparrow: you sure? Cuz if na dat guy wey been dey dance with you, I go quickly mend him yansh for here..

Me: no need for yansh mending

Sparrow looked at me for a while to ascertain that I was sure of what I was saying, before leading Toun and I to the Volvo.

Driving outside Grillaz, I noticed a group of guys talking, in-between them was Jafar and Aji. The discussion seemed to worry Jafar, as his right hand was at the back of his head and his left on his waist. Toun tapped me on the shoulder.

Me: what?

Toun: I am stained.
