HIS AFRICAN QUEEN

Chapter 6

As we get closer to the club Zuri calls her boyfriend to come meet us at the parking lot. When we arrived we found him waiting for us. He opens the door for us to exit the car and pays the driver for the ride. He hugs Zuri like they haven't seen each other in ages.

" Hi, am Sam" he introduces himself to me

" Hey, am Zee, It's nice to meet you"

" Likewise"

" Now that we are done with the pleasantries ,can we go now?" Says Zuri impatiently.

We laugh as we both know she's not the most patient person. We take the elevator to the sixth floor where the club is. At the entrance they have security checking everyone's ID. Zuri shows them her ID and they let her pass and her boyfriend was allowed as he was already inside. When I showed them my ID they blocked the entrance like I was a zombie ready to infect people.

" You have to be 25 years and above to get in" one of the bouncer's say.

" What, why? " I ask trying to be polite.

This is just insane. am 24 years that's like pre 25

" We don't want kids here"

So now they are calling me a child. Am so hard to not talk back as I want to get in that club so bad but they are trying me.

" Zuri help ,they won't let me in" I call to her.

She is the only one who can help because if I open my stupid mouth ill be barned for life. She comes back dragging her boyfriend with her.

" What is the problem here?" She asks them.

" They won't let me in because am not 25 yet" I rolled my eyes as I said those words.

" Just let her in bro. She's with me or would you prefer I have a talk about your behavior to your boss? " Sam threatens them.

They finally allowed me to pass and join the others. As we walk in, the first thing I notice is the décor. It was really beautiful, open and paintings of known artists are on the walls. The bathrooms are near the entrance as well as exit which is not brilliant idea.  We find our seats and a waiter comes immediately to take our order.

" Zee what do you want to drink?" Asks Zuri.

" Tequila sunrise for me"

She order our drinks and some shisha. While we wait I just look around to familiarize myself with the place. Some people are dancing, while others are clearly on a date. Do people still go on club dates? Can you even hear your date when he or she is talking or that is the whole point of this date . Back to the club, some people are celebrating their birthdays and they seem to be having the most fun. The music was great, well planned to keep people on their feet.

Our drinks are eventually brought to our table and we start drinking . After a few hours I start feeling tipsy. The DJ plays Bounce and Zuri and I give each other a look. We have different signature looks but this specifically meant lets dance. We stand at the same time and start dancing. It's one of our favorite songs.

We dance until we are both tired so we take our seats. Zuri and her boyfriend are busy making out which is just gross ,so I decide to watch other people dance while I drank instead of whatever this was. I hate being a third wheel.

I felt like peeing so I informed Zuri where I was going before she comes looking for me like a crazy person. While I was busy modeling to the bathroom I twisted my leg and the next thing I knew I was falling down. In the midst of falling ,I tried to reach for anything to prevent my fall and miraculously I found a shoulder which I held on for my dear life. I only hoped the owner would understand the sudden intrusion of his or her privacy.
