Chapter 6: Entering the Midnight Club

The following day...

The sun beaming through the blinds, and the smell of coffee and AXE body deodorant filled up the room I was asleep in, You'd think that a 22-year-old with a salary and a house would find a better scent to be associated with, but hey, not everyone has taste.

I got up out of bed to take a shower, before getting dressed in a loose beige t-shirt, black cargo pants and my favourite white and blue Adidas Form 84 high sneakers, before heading out for breakfast

"Uhm, Kevin, I think there's something wrong with my door"

"No Jabu there's nothing wrong with your door, I just locked it," he said as he unlocked and opened the door to reveal himself shirtless, wearing tight black jeans and his Nikes 

"Is there a reason for that?"

"You'll find out soon enough," he said as he winked and slid me a bowl of corn flakes " Eat quick, we gotta make sure we get there on time, there's some important stuff going down, and you're coming to the end of your induction process, looks like you're a real one," he said as we sat down to eat at his metal breakfast table. Kevin's house was the perfect size for him, but it lacked a homey feel, a woman's touch. Everything was ultra modern with either dark colours or bright but somehow bland mixes. The breakfast table has a brushed metal look, not glass, with an immovable bench attached to it, like the type you'd find in prison.

"Are you gonna stare at me or get to eating and dressing?" I said as I looked up from my food

"Hey, I'm just imagining everything we'd get up to once you're officially part of the fam." He said as he stood up and walked over to me, before bending over behind my ear "As much as you make my skin crawl, there is something special about you J, and I plan to explore and exploit that speciality."  he said as he slap-gripped my shoulder, before laughing and going to get his graphic t-shirt on the couch next to me in my peripheral vision

After we finished eating, Kevin told me to put my car in the garage to "save the paint job" because he wanted us to carpool. Basically one week I drive mine and the other week he drives his. We were now arriving at the mansion and honestly, even though we'd been coming here often I still haven't gotten used to how grand and lavish the place is. We walked in and headed straight for the conference room. When we walked in we found everyone else waiting for us

"Yoh took you guys long enough," Adonis said as he raised his hands in defeat 

"Shut up, you try driving across town in rush hour traffic, this is the best-case scenario."

"Well today is an important day boys, time is of the essence here," Tio Cortez said through the flatscreen"

"Wait, Tio, where are you?" I asked as I saw a bunch of cars in the background as well as, the ocean??

"He's in Cape Town, he arrived around 4 am this morning and 2 of us are going to be joining him down there to take delivery of his new 2022 BMW M8 Gran Coupe and his upgraded  BMW F97 X3M," she said as she sent pictures of the cars to the WhatsApp group and never in my life have I been so amazed. Not only was I amazed by their wealth but Cortez's taste in cars, the X3M had a silicone silver paint job, with some huge rims and blacked-out windows while the M8 had a purple-burgundy paint job with the carbon package and what looked like bags. WHO GETS THEIR BRAND-NEW CAR BAGGED? Cortez Domingo apparently.

"Which one of us is going then?" I asked as we stood there in awe

"Well, it was supposed to be me and my besties but they haven't been picking up their phones, and one of them was found sleeping in Adonis' bed this morning so best believe she won't be getting out anytime soon," Lexi said, pissed off as I practically choked on my water
