TWISTED PART 3

The atmosphere was charged, Afro hip-hop blaring from the speakers. They were ushered into the VIP lounge. Yeni thought to herself that someone must be influencing the VIP treatment cos VIP treatment at Monikaz was a big deal. The ladies sat at opposite ends, kemi kept giving Yeni side eyes and winks, Yeni simply smiled and mouthed an almost invisible “behave yourself” back at kemi while the guys stood up to go get drinks.

On their way to the bar, Tayo bumped into an old friend who knew Kenny too. They shook hands and hailed each other in nicknames’ “Badoski, baddest American gangster” Kenny hailed Ibrahim. “naaa bro, you da baddest’ Ibrahim joked. ‘We were heading to the bar to get drinks for our babes” Tayo informed. Oh! Ibrahim looked surprised ‘Thought you two were on your way to the dark room”. Tayo and Kenny gave him a quizzical look and asked in unison” what is a dark room? Ibrahim laughed out loud and whispered ‘don’t tell me you guys haven’t been to that room? “What room now?’ Kenny and Tayo screamed impatiently and in unison once again. Ibrahim seemed to be enjoying the fact that they were oblivious of the dark room and decided to play chaperon to his friends. He led them to the dark room which was at a far end in the building. They got to the entrance and the bouncers wouldn't let them in because they didn't have a pass. Ibrahim being the rich kid from the block quickly brought out wads of one thousand naira notes and tipped the bouncers who quickly made way for them. Kenny and Tayo were not in any way prepared for what they saw in the dark room.

The dark room popularly known as the ‘pole point’ was every shade of porn, the room was dark except for the dazzling club light that illuminated a section of the room. It was actually a strippers’ hole. The strippers, young ladies with curves and nothing on but G-string pants that hung loosely on their privates. They were ready to unleash whatever weapon they had beneath. Some of them hung loosely on the poles; engaging in sexually induced acrobatic moves. Kenny and Tayo couldn't believe their eyes; they didn't believe a decent looking lounge like Monikaz had a discreet rendezvous happening in the same building. Tayo and Kenny didn't know what to do, if it was wise to walk out or hang in there and have a 5-minutes fun with the strippers. Ibrahim urged them on “common guys don’t be a slacker and spoiler of fun” he seemed very familiar with the dark room.

Ibrahim has always been tagged a 'bad boy' and it seemed he was reliving that name. Ibrahim it was, who first brought in a dose of cocaine back in the states to the flat they all shared before he moved out and bought his own house, being the son of a billionaire who could afford anything and everything he wanted. He was a spoilt child who engaged in dirty habits; from drugs, womanizing and drinking to gambling back then. They weren't surprised to find him still meddling in same. 

Ibrahim snapped his fingers, two beautiful naked ladies walked up to them. Ibrahim brought out wads of naira notes, Tayo & Kenny looked on blank at him as though he had a river of naira notes flowing through his pockets. He sprayed the ladies with the notes and fondled their breast as they pressed against him. Tayo and Kenny looked on as though in a trance. Ibrahim told them to enjoy the company of the ladies and do to them whatever and however they pleased, all on his bill. But Kenny and Tayo were having none of it, they quickly reminded him that they already had company and would love to get back to the lounge. Ibrahim wasn’t upset at all instead he agreed to go back with them to meet the ladies in their company.

Yeni and Kemi, wondering what was keeping the guys with Yeni standing to her feet and going to search for them when they walked in with Ibrahim. 

Tayo introduced Ibrahim to them, Ibrahim shook hands with the ladies and left a few minutes later; he didn’t see these girls as wild and he needed some naked breast on his chest and not some beautifully dressed babies like Kemi and Yeni* Ibrahim was nutty like that. He winked at Kenny as he danced away.

Kenny couldn't get his mind off the dark room, the lounge suddenly became boring. He wanted all the excitement downloading  in the dark room; he was almost regretting why he asked Yeni to bring a sister. Immediately, he thought up an idea and served it to the girls “hey babes, I have a surprise for you but you have to come with me to see it". Kemi was thrilled at the mention of ‘surprise’, she wasn't sure what surprises he had for them but she was loving Kenny already. Tayo gave Kenny a questioning look but he quickly looked away as Yeni tugged at his ribs “so you guys went to plan coup abi? Anyway, we are game whatever". Kenny led the way to the dark room and Tayo just had to stop him “guy, what the fuck do you think you are doing, how can you take them to that place? He asked with his teeth clenched. Kenny smiled ‘hey Relax mehn! we gon have some fun mehn and stop acting like a sisi bro’ he assured Tayo in American accent. Tayo gave up and walked on beside him while the ladies walked behind them, chatting and giggling in excitement. 

By the time they got to the dark room, the room was engulfed in smoke from cigarettes, weed and Cuban cigars, the music was loud and banging; everyone seemed to be caught in the frenzy of the moment. Ibrahim spotted them from afar and quickly went to usher them into his private corner. Yeni and Kemi were gobsmacked once they got in; they couldn't believe their eyes. The ladies in the room were stark naked;no panties, no brassiere. Nothing but bare flesh. Some even came to them to offer lap dances. Yeni was beyond disappointed. She angrily followed them to the Vip xclusive aka Ibrahim's private corner and almost puked upon sighting the scene. The girls were practically acting out a porn scene showing on a large projector and it seemed she was the only person who was miffed cos Kemi was enjoying every bit of it as she once mentioned she would love to visit a strip club.Kenny held on tight to Kemi’s waist as she rolled and whined to the rhythm. Tayo was trying his best to placate Yeni but she was disgusted; it was written all over her face and her body language said it all.she brought out her phone and pinged kemi.

Yeye Yeni: ello bae,whats happening here? You seem to be part of the plan to get us raped by these perverts right?

Yeye Yeni: Ping!

Yeye Yeni: Ping!

Yeye Yeni: ping!

Kemochilala: ahh madam,abeg am having fun jare besides na me go rape them; you know say my blood don dey hot all these while with no boyfy and me forming celibate.lol. but don’t worry nothing dey pa!

Yeye Yeni: ello bae,why so razz tonight? Seems like you are feeling this Kenny guy abi? I can see how u wanna commit murder with your ass. lol

Kemochilala: bae forget that thing,Kenny is into me baje, you just have fun and stop dulling Tayo now. oya arrange ur face and smile. ok bye.*tongue out emoticon*

Just as Kemi put her phone back in her clutch, she saw one of the strippers right in front of her and Kenny asked she be given a lap dance by the stripper, she was embarrassed initially but started to enjoy it when Kenny told her to sit on his laps and wiggle her waist while getting a lap dance herself. Tayo came over to Yeni and tried to kiss her but she shoved him off and kept drinking from her glass of Bacardi. After taking quite some shots she became tipsy and asked to be taken home. Tayo wasn't happy how the night turned out but he planned on making it up to Yeni. He went over to inform Kemi and Kenny who were having a ball with the strippers and Ibrahim that it was time to go home at 4: 30am. Kemi raised an eye brow and told Tayo they couldn't gain access into their estate at that time. so Tayo volunteered to take them to his house to get some sleep and then drop them off at sunrise.

Stella woke up with a banging headache. She looked round; she wasn't sure where she was until she heard Norbert say “thank God, she is awake. Let me get the doctor” and he left. Stella looked up at a figure standing and she saw Ms.White beside her bed, eyeing her maliciously “so you have finally woken up ‘mr man’, thank God for you” she hissed and walked out of the room as Norbert walked in with the doctor. “Mrs White,how do you feel? Dr. Okechuckwu inquired. ”I feel a banging headache Dr, can I get some pain killers? She slurred. Dr Okechukwu smiled “Sure you can but I will have to run some test before prescribing any drugs. I will ask the nurses to wheel you to the laboratory now”.

Stella and Norbert were left alone in the ward. She broke down in tears as she remembered the reason she was in the hospital. Norbert was confused, he didn't know what to do, he wasn't sure he knew why she was crying.He went over to her and tried to console her but the reaction he got from Stella he wouldn't forget in a hurry. Immediately he put his hand on her shoulder, Stella gave him a blinding slap; for once Norbert believed people really saw stars. “YOU BASTARD! How dare you touch me?” Before he could recover from the first slap he got another punch this time on his nose. Norbert was under attack, he was too blinded by the slap he couldn't find his way to the door to call for help, luckily the door flung open as the nurse wheeled in the chair, Stella walked past the nurse in anger after informing her she knew her way and could walk to the lab by herself.
