Chapter 4 - Out with Tony and Austin
previous chapter | next chapter
Everyone stood up to go and see what the smell was.
Can you imagine, it was Biodun's underwears. The water was coloured and slimy. Looked and smelled awful. Had obviously been soaking for nothing less than three days!.
"Abeg throw am out" Angel said
"Before nko?" Lara said. She went to drop the bucket in front of the room.
Entering the room, one could see that Lara was very pissed but fortunately for Biodun, she wasn't coming back to campus today.
We were all still talking about the smelly under wear, when a girl came into the room
"Excuse me is Suzan around? There's a guy called Tony waiting for her downstairs' the girl turned and left.
"Gosh, it must be 10.30. You guys start getting dressed while I go downstairs and tell him we're around" Suzan said.
Angel, Debbie and I showered and started getting dressed. All the while, Debbie was complaining.
"Those guys, they can't really converse in english, and they've not trying to learn. Instead, they all speak in Ibo. Forgetting me. And since I don't understand them, I ignore them and sleep"
"I thought it was just Tony?" I asked
"It's Tony and Austin. Austin is his close pal, they do spare parts business together"
"You mean they deal with spare parts?" I gently corrected
"Sure they do"
"Na wah oh" Angel sighed.
By the time Suzan came back, we were all dressed but not made up. So, she joined us and we all started making each other up. By the time we were through, we are looking smashing.
Tope let out a cat whistle and asked us to strut, which we all did laughing.
I was dressed in an ankle length gown. The Shouting Red tube gown was slit high at the back I wore 3 inch high black slippers.
You could see my anklet peeping from my gown. To go with it was a black dutch, while my
weakness piled up and held in place with pins.
I used strawberry coloured upstick and black Kaoul to highlight my eye.
If I say so myself, I looked good!
Angel wore a white spaghetti cropped top on black Pants. Her belly chain could be seen and she wore a calf length suede boots.
Debbie wore a short black gown with sandals, while Suzan wore a tube top matched with a short green suede skirt and green sandals. She completed the look with a green bag.
Yes, we were all ready for the night.
My heartbeat was erratic "What if Momsie comes?" I asked myself. "At 10:30pm, no way" I was also trying to reassure myself. I was not completely settled.
We bid our roommates goodbye, I was really feeling uncomfortable, but as we got to the gate, my fear went with the wind.
As usual babes were going out. I thought I was hip but, you need to see what some people had on. Some of their outfits would fit in nicely at a strip club.
Some wore hot pants, that barely covered their butts, while some wore clothes that were covered but light. On them, the clothes looked obscene. And seeing them, all you can think of is sex.
The "bomb" was a girl who wore a black gown slit at the side almost to the top of her thighs
and in front, from her belly button to the valley of her boobs. It was laced up. Her breasts were peeking through the laces and she wore a silver chain that stopped in the valley of her boobs.
The girl turned heads sha. People couldn't take their eyes of her and she probably thought it was her beauty (she wishes!) rather that her ashawo look that made everybody react like that to her.
We got outside the hall, to see lots of cars.
When I was in secondary school I was a car freak but I've mellowed. What cars do you want to talk about Prado, Beast, GMC or what. Any exotic car you can think of was there.
"Suzan, where........" My voice trailed off because what was ahead of me wasn't an ordinary car. It was out of this world.
I was looking at it with awe. I've seen great cars but I could never have imagined what I was seeing. It cannot be classified.
It was a cross between a jeep and luxury car, but it was smaller than any jeep I'd ever seen.
Looking closely, I could see the car was a Benz. It was red in colour and looked, all at once, smooth, powerful and sleek. The windows were all also darkly tinted.
"My, My the car is chasis" I said to no one in particular
"Stop looking" Angel said
"I'm not looking, I'm gawking. What I'd give to go for just a ride in the car " I said
"So, you'll give anything " Suzan said smiling
"Anything!"
"What of your soul?" Debbie asked
"You guys stop teasing me. It's just that you don't appreciate fine cars" I said
"Anyway, pay me and you'll enter" Suzan said
"Which Kain joke be this?" I asked
The car door opened and a short man with an extremely wide nose came out of the passenger
side
"Suzan, Debbie how are you now?" The man asked
"Tony, meet Honey and Angel" Suzan introduced
I was red, I was so shy. The guy now asked if the names were true and Suzan said yes.
"How can someone bear Honey or Angel?" he asked
"No how, my name is Honey" and she's plain Angel" I said while exchanging expressions with Debbie
"Na wah oh" he said.
We all headed to the car, but he told us that they had brought two cars, that we'll split up.
I decided to stay with Debbie, while Suzan and Angel paired up.
So, Debbie and I went to a convertible Benz parked not too far from there.
We all debated where we should go and we decided to go to M.B at Surulere, since we all wanted Karaoke.
The place was full. We bought some things downstairs, then moved to the Karaoke room upstairs.
Getting there we all ordered for another round of drinks, then chose the songs we were going to sing.
Suzan has lovely voice, so she sang three Celine Dion songs while I sang UB40. Take that Angel sang UB40 while Debbie sang a Celine Dion. We all had fun. The guys spent nothing less than Seven Grand.
We all enjoyed ourselves to the peak. We headed back for Campus around 4:00am.
We hit the bed straight except for me. I couldn't go to sleep without taking my bath.
In the morning, I woke up before the other girls. They all slept till noon, and since it was a
weekend, they could afford to do that.
On weekends our visiting time is 12-10pm. So most girls take their bath before 12pm. This will give them freedom to move about in their nighties or towel.
By the time I woke up, the whole room was awake except for us.
Lara came over to hear the yarns. She was very amused at the whole story. After some
time, I left her to go to the bathroom. When I got back, she said she forgot to gist me what happened between Biodun and her.
She said she called Biodun and asked her about the undies she had soaked, Biodun now asked what undies she was talking about. Apparently, Biodun had forgotten ever soaking.
"Men, She must have lots of undies" I said.
"Listen now. I now told her that it didn't really matter because they were outside. I couldn't bear the smell. The fool now had the guts to tell me, I shouldn't have done that, I asked what? she now went outside to get her undies and started grumbling. I now called her and said Biodun don't ever let this situation repeat itself again."
"What did she say after that?" I asked
"She now asked me if it does nko, what would I do?
I replied that I would leave the smell undies in the corridor and tell all who inquired that it was for her. I also told her that I don't like pigs in my corner. So she had better watch it.
Anyway we had a verbal argument which Tope had to butt in to finish.
"Na wah for some people oh. My Momsie tells us at home that most girls are fine for face. But, you know I never really accepted that. I believed that if you are well dressed outside, your inner wears will be too. I can't Imagine this people sleeping with their boyfriends. Won't the boyfriend see?"
"Honey, I wonder. You know, Biodun has this girdle she's always wearing. It is greenish brown. showing that she doesn't wash it well and she wears this for a long time before washing. She spreads this same thing on her bed where everybody can see it.
My boyfriend came the other day and told me to do something about the girdle. He said that in the position it was, nobody would know that it was hers. They'll be wondering who is the owner between two of us".
"That's true o, let's do something about it"
The rest of the weekend passed in a haze.
On Sunday, I went to church alone, since Bukky left for home on Saturday.
The weekend was sort of dry because many people went home. As for Angel's bunk mate that one was another fish in the kettle.
On Monday, I left for lectures in the morning. I met many people. I saw Tolu, Angel and some of my secondary school mates.
I was in my physics course when from behind me I heard "It's a lie, don't tell me it's true" she said.
I turned round and screamed.
