Chapter 7
"Hi Romoke" It was Vanessa calling me later that week. "Hi Vanessa. How are you?" I replied cheerfully. "I'm alright. I wanted to know if you'd like to go clubbing with me this Friday?" She said. "Oh really? Errrrr okay sure I'd love to. Who's taking us?" I asked her. "Who's taking us how? We are taking each other. Just both of us." She answered laughing. "Ah!! Okay that's alright. I forgot you're a big girl" I teased her. "Oh please! What time do you finish classes on Friday, so I'd come pick you up?" "I usually don’t have classes on Fridays, its just rehearsals from 10am till like 1pm and I'm done." I told her. "Okay that's great! I'll pick you up by 2.30pm, pack clothes for the weekend" She said as she hung up. Hmmmm. Cash madam. She can afford to take herself clubbing and buy drinks obviously. Its good to have money, I thought to myself as I got ready for class.
Friday 5pm.
Vanessa parked in their compound and we got out of the car. There were 3 other cars in the compound. Her parents' cars apparently. The house was in fact a mansion. She opened the car boot as I went to retrieve my things. A young girl came outside. "Welcome ma" She said to Vanessa. "Thank you Caro, how are you?" "I'm fine ma" "This is my friend Romoke, please take those things to my room" I smiled at Caro as she helped me with my stuff. "Thanks dear" I said to her. "Let's go in" Vanessa said to me as we went into the house. The walls were sparkling white. The living room was more than 3times larger than my sitting room at home. Everything here looked pretty expensive. "Welcome to my house" Vanessa said. "Wow your house is beautiful." I exclaimed, looking round in amazement. "Really? Thanks darl. Lets go to my room upstairs." She took my hand and I went with her. She led me up the stairs to her room. "Okay so this is my favorite place in this house. I can stay here all day and not go out" Her room was big and cozy. It was painted pink and there was a large portrait of a beautiful dark-skinned girl on the wall. The girl was half nude. "I love your room. Its beautiful. Who's that girl?" I asked her. "Oh that’s Melissa. We used to be close but she's in jand now." She replied. "wow she's really cute." "Yeah right, she is. I can put up your own portrait instead, if you like" She said, looking at me. I laughed. "Well I don’t have a portrait this large or this beautiful, so I really don’t know." I told her. "Don’t worry, that can be arranged. Besides, you're more beautiful than you think." She said as she arranged my things. I just stared at the other pictures of her, all of them really nice. "Mehn you've really done well for yourself with modeling. You've gone far. I've never even done a photo shoot before though I seriously need one. I don’t have any nice pictures, its embarrassing." I said to her. "Awwww not to worry, I can fix you up with my photographer then you guys can arrange something. He's really good so you'll like him." "Really? That's fabulous. Thank you!!!" I smiled at her. "Its okay babe. So yeah, what are you wearing out tonight?" She asked me. "Oh its just a dress I brought." I showed her the blue club dress I brought along. "Oh no! You cant wear that. Its nice but I see girls wearing it in the club all the time. Its random, so you shouldn’t wear something like that. Nah. This wouldn’t do." She said. I frowned. "But this is the only dress I brought with me. I don’t have anything else to wear." I lamented. "Its fine, we'll look for something for you to wear. I have lots of dresses I've not even worn so you'd pick whatever you like, okay? Don’t worry, I got you" She smiled at me. I smiled back. "Aren't you hungry? I'm famished. I'm craving pizza. Should we order or eat out?" She asked me. I remembered that I had perceived the smell of chicken when we came into the house. "Isn't Caro cooking something? I thought she was making something before we got in." I asked her. "Yeah she is, but I want pizza right now. We can always eat Caro's food later. Lets order I'm too tired to drive, or can you drive?" She asked me. "Drive kor, if I hear." I laughed. "That's not too good. You should learn. Anyways, what do you like on your pizza? I think I want cold stone too" "Whatever you want o, madam. I like chicken Bali or meatzza." "Okay fine. I'll just place an order now." She said as she brought out her phone.
3am.
"Wow I had mad fun Vanessa, I'm so high right now." I said as we went out of Quillox nightclub. "Just take it easy.. Thank God I'm the one driving us so we're good" She held me as I was finding it difficult to walk steady. "But you drank more than I did, you even had more of the shisha. How come you're okay?" I asked her. She laughed. "I'm your boss, just remember that." We got to where we parked the car and she helped me get into my seat. "We'll be home in like 10minutes sef so we're good" She said to me. She turned the key in the ignition and drove towards Ikoyi. "This is my fav club, you get to meet a lot of all these island big boys and girls" I said as she drove. "Yeah that's true but they're mostly fuckboys abeg" She replied in a bored tone. "I noticed you didn’t dance with any of those guys that came to you. Why now?" I asked her. "Nothing I just wasn’t in the mood." She replied. "Hmmmm okay. This your dress you gave me to wear ehn!!!!!! It’s a killer. I was just feeling like a celebrity tonight. Did you see those girls opposite us? They kept staring at us. Mehn. I absolutely love the dress, thank you Vanessa." "You're welcome b, you can keep it if you wanna." She said. I looked at her. "Really? Awwww thank you. You're just an amazing person I swear." "Abeg no need to flatter me" She said laughing loudly. She was driving at top speed and my head was spinning from too much alcohol. "Do you smoke weed?" She asked me. "Nah. I've not tried it before." I answered her. She laughed. "Did you know there was weed in that shisha? I'm sure you didn’t know." I looked at her. "Really? No wonder I'm feeling weird. I thought it was the Hennessey." "Not to worry, I've got some weed at home we'll smoke it when we get home." She said. She pulled up in the compound and I started to get out. "Careful!!!!! Just chill, I'll help you alright?" She came to my side and helped me out. Now my sight was blurry and the house looked double, maybe triple. Vanessa helped me into the house. I felt like I was walking on water as we went upstairs. "Careful baby, I got you. We're almost there now. Easy." Vanessa kept saying as we were on the stairs. We finally got to her room, she opened the door and she helped me to the bed. She undressed me and removed my shoes. Then she made me wash my face. She brought water in a glass and I drank. "I think I feel better now I'm just giddy. I can see two Vanessa's." I said to her. She laughed. "See you!!!!!! Learner!!!!!!! I should make a video and show you when you're okay. We cant even smoke anymore else you'll just die. We'll do tomorrow. You need to rest." She said as she helped me into one of her nighties. "Mehn I'm so tired." I said as I lay down on the big bed. I closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
