I made my way to the front garden because inside was too hot, there were people jumping everywhere rapping along to music, Asia from the looks of it was actually enjoying herself as when I walked past the conservatory I could see her dancing with a small smile on her face, Olu was in the corner grinning as he was securing a small little whine from a girl I recognised in Art class. I perched myself on top of the brick wall before scrolling through my phone, the cold night breeze cooling my hot sticky body, I continued sipping the coke from my straw, the bubbles rising up to my nose I spluttered silently trying not to disturb anyone with my choking before jumping off the wall
“Woaah”
“Oh sh*t”
“I’m so sorry” I looked up to see Leon in front of me, coke splashed on his white tee
Karma’s being real nice today innit?
He looked down at me smiling before licking his lips “Ah it’s nothing innit”
I looked away quickly, feeling uncomfortable by his gaze
“Didn’t think I would catch you here”
“Oh, really?”
“Yeah, you seem bare quite in school, and after splashing you with my sprite I thought you would send for me or suttin” He laughed
“Ah, naah” Is all I managed to reply
“So how’s your shirt?” He laughed
“It’s recovering and yours?” I joked, looking over to the small patch on his shirt
He reached over taking the coke from my hands, his warm hands brushing against mine, his gaze not giving in
“It’s alright, could be worse you know”
I laughed nervously, his touch making me uneasy
Asia was right, he was ‘buff’ I was able to study him properly for the actual first time, he was probably around 5’9, he didn’t have the typical curly high-top fade hair cut but his hair was nicely shaped, he was of a smooth chocolate complexion and was rooting for beard gang, (small small) his big eyes accentuated his baby face and his smile was literally everything, he was buff, but he wasn’t what I wanted.
“AYE YO LEONNN!” A voice from inside called
We tenk God, Amen.
Leon looked back over to the house before looking back at me “You do know you owe me a drink, Sprite girl?”
Sprite girl?
“What about my one in your hands?” I furrowed my brows in confusion
“Nah, a proper one” He called out winking before disappearing back into the house.
Somewhere in between my encounter with Leon and the few small drinks that Olu had slipped me, I was actually enjoying myself, Shmoney Dance was blasting through the speakers and everyone was all waving their hands frantically dancing trying to impersonate Shmurda, the room was flashing with all different colours as well as harsh white lights coming from people’s phones as they took snapchats and recorded insta videos all jumping around, all of a sudden the music switched up and girls started screaming eagerly
“SEE THAT SEXY GIRL FROM GHANA!” The girls shouted
“SHE TOO FINE, ONE OF A KIND CALL HER SEXY NANAAAA!” The boys shouted back in unison
Before I knew it, boys were slowly making movement towards all the girls scattered in the conservatory
“AYE NAAAH PULL IT BACK UP!” Marlon shouted with a glass of what looked like Hennessy in his hands
The song restarted and everyone was now in full swing, I looked over to spot Yvonne laughing with some girls that I didn’t recognise, I could only see her from the side but it was no doubt that she looked stunning, she was wearing the same lace deep open v-neck skater dress that Asia suggested when we were shopping, but of course it looked better on her, her skirt hitched up a little accentuating on her small yet perky bum and long brown legs, her hair still lay flat and her three luscious curls at the bottom of her hair swayed every time she swayed, Calvin walked towards her with a cup in his hand and she wrapped her hand around his waist probably introducing him to the girls before taking his drink and taking a few sips.
“I need to get another drink” I turned over to see Olu behind another girl who was giving him a small whine, I rolled my eyes looking at where his hands now were situated on the girl before laughing a little and finding my way into the kitchen.
Drinks, drinks drinks and drinks.
I walked over to the cooler to see that all the soft drinks had gone and there was nothing left but water and ice. I knocked back against a hard body, looking up to see Calvin behind me also peering inside the cooler
“How are all the soft drinks gone? I swear all these lot know is Smirnoff and Hennessy anyways”
I laughed a little, due to not knowing what to respond and not being able to allow any words to come out of mouth, he walked over to the fridge, and I was able to really scrutinise his tall muscular build, his coolie curls sat nicely on top of his head and through the fitted white top of his you could really appreciate his build, was it even possible for someone to look good from the back as well?
“What drink were you looking for?”
I looked up to see his dark brown eyes looking back directly at mine and that alone made me forget the name ‘Coke’.
“Are you allowed to do that?” I blurted, referring to him opening the fridge and taking out Jeff’s drinks
“Well” He looked around before his eyes returned to mine “We could just dehydrate?”
I opened my mouth to say something before closing it again, stifling a laugh “Coke please”
I watched him cautiously as he poured the 7up into a cup and mixed it with vodka before doing the same to mine
“Ice?”
“-
“Aye Calvs” Marlon made his way into the kitchen a grin plastered on his face with a small shot glass in his hand “What you lot doing back here? Temi downed too much he’s actually whining the table come watch”
I was buzzing. Temi was far from gone and Leon had to drop him home, the party was still in full swing and Jeff decided to make things interesting by playing a shot game. The shots were aligned nicely on the glass table and everyone looked so full of life even though that was the biggest contradiction, I watched from afar for the first two rounds laughing at everyone’s facial expressions and them not being in their right state of mind then Ameeka sauntered over and perched herself on my lap giving me a lap dance causing all the boys in the conservatory to start roaring, bare excited I had enough drinks down in me to not push her off or crawl in a hole.
“SHOT FOR BILLIE!” She whooped
“DOWN IT DOWN IT DOWN IT DOWN IT” Jeff and Olu chanted
I threw my head back letting the small liquid burn my throat before taking another, and another and another.
You know how I said I was buzzing before? That was an understatement.
“Give it me!” I slurred trying to reach for Olu’s drink, the cool breeze whipping my hair
“You want this one?” Olu held the drink above his head, whilst I tiptoed to try and take it from his reach
“Olu, don’t be a dickhead, give it to me” I laughed
He brought the drink to my lips letting me have a little taste before downing it himself
“Dick” I laughed
“Olu are you a dickhead? She’s more than gone, why are you entertaining this?” Asia walked over, her heels in her hand a look of worry plastered on her face
“She’s not waved? Is she?”
Asia rolled her eyes before taking out her phone and brought it back to her ear
“Yeah Michael, where are you?”
“SWEAR? You’re waved?” Olu threw his head back laughing, before walking over to me and shoving my head in his chest, stroking my hair
“I’ve got you yeah?”
Asia whipped her head back at us before twisting her face “You’re fucking gone yourself man!”
“My drink, now I want it” I slurred
“So where’s Jay? He can’t pick us up?”... “Olu can’t drive us, he’s actually gone” ... “Yes she can’t even talk properly” ... “Alright, please hurry”
Asia’s P.O.V
I watched Billie as she clutched onto her phone and allowed Olu to stroke her hair, she was far from gone, it was a handful to even get her outside, she looked so lively and happy but I knew she was going to regret it in the morning, Jeff came out of the door with two slices of toast on a plate and handed it over to me
“Rah” He looked at Billie before looking over to me
“Yeah” I breathed out
“Nah, how are they both gone like that?” He laughed
I laughed too, not even imagining the day where Billie would not be in her right state of mind
“What did you lot give her man?”
“One shot too many”
“Where’s the other two, Chloe and Amaka?”
“Ameeka, and yeah Chloe and her got into a cab, Michael took some girl to a hotel so he’s vexed but he said he’s on his way”
“Woi, I would drop you lot home yeah, but -” He looked back to the house
“Nah it’s alright, thanks anyways today was good, get back to the house and enjoy yourself,” I took the plate from him and walked over to Billie
“Bills, you want something to eat?”
She wriggled away from me as if she was a little baby and I was forcing to feed her
“Have a bite”
She opened her mouth slightly, and I tore a piece of toast and gave it to her, she chewed a few times before swallowing and turning her head away as if to say I was dismissed, I began laughing at the way she was acting like my baby sister Zion.
“Alright, see you in abit yeah?” Marlon spudded Calvin before walking over to his car; he caught my eye and smiled
“Why the face? Smile a likkle”
I let out a little snort. My feet ached, I was cold, hungry and wanted nothing more but my bed, I was so wrapped in my thoughts that I almost jumped out of my skin when my phone started vibrating
“Yeah, I’m parked down the street”
“Alright, come help me pick Billie”
“I can’t.”
“Er, why not?”
“I’m not coming out Asia”
“Can’t you bring the car a little closer then?”
“There’s actually no space”
Patience where art thou?
“So how am I supposed to carry her?”
“Can’t Olu help?”
“Can he even walk himself?”
“Ask Jeff”
“He’s somewhere in the house” ... “Can you stop being lazy and come?”
“I’m not even being lazy I actually can’t come outside man”
I scanned over and saw Calvin standing by the wall typing away on his phone with one hand and firmly holding a cup in his other
“Alright then, give me a few minutes” I locked the phone before smoothing down my dress and walked over to Calvin
“Er, sorry, but do you mind helping me for a second?”
He looked up at me before sliding his phone in his pocket “Yeah, sure thing”
I looked over to where Billie was and he looked over, for a second he was hesitant but nodded like he already knew the deal
“She’s not usually like this” I said walking towards Olu and Billie trying to throw in a good word for her
He laughed “Yeah?”
“Yeah”
“Mhmm, she don’t look like the type anyways”
“Trust me, she’s not, she’s up for a good laugh but likes to keep sane, you know like that?”
Why was I even talking, he looked slyly out of it himself, like tomorrow he wouldn’t remember this.
“I would let Olu carry her, but he’s not much of a help right now” I continued
“Ah it’s nothing”
“Billie?” I called out, I removed Olu’s hand from her waist and pulled her towards me; she leaned on me and closed her eyes as if all she wanted to do was sleep
“Olu follow” ... “Yeaah sorry” I pushed Billie towards Calvin, and he picked her up walking towards the car, her head resting on his chest.
We walked towards the car, Olu stumbling behind, I recognised Michael’s car and opened the car door allowing Calvin to slot Billie in the backseat, Billie clung onto his neck, murmuring a few things causing Calvin to laugh before releasing him
“Thank you so much” I turned over to Calvin; he gave a small smile before closing the car door
“It’s nothing, get home safe yeah?” and with that he turned back walking towards the house
Olu slid in next to Billie, making bare noise before slowly trailing off. It must’ve been about 11, getting to 12, the street was quiet but you could still hear faint music coming from Jeff’s, the streetlamp was flickering and the only thing that was giving off light was Michael’s headlights, he had the lights turned on in the car and I slid in the passenger seat.
“Rah, They. Are. Gone ... no hello yeah?” Michael turned back to me before starting the engine
“And you couldn’t pick us up because?”
He stayed silent; I looked down to see him only in his Spiderman boxers and hurraches, I spluttered with laughter trying to catch my breath. There was actually no way I could be annoyed with him.
“Shutup and let me get you lot home man” He kissed his teeth and started driving, but there was a slight smile on his face.
