She brought him fruit juice in a pretty glass. He collected it, thanked her and took a sip. The coolness made the tangy taste of the juice more refreshing and soothing. She sat on the sofa next to his, staring at him, watch him drink. He felt uncomfortable under those eyes, that scrutinizing gaze.

'Why are you looking at me that way?' he asked her.

'What way?' she asked him curling her legs into the sofa.

'Oh don't play dump. You know very well what I mean you little imp. And for the record it is intimidating when you do that. My nervous system goes into wrecks when you do that. No wonder those children registered at your ballet studio fear you so much. You always give them that look,' he told her in a matter of fact way.

'Whatever,' she shrugged. 'I was just angry because you mentioned Monica and how she belittled you. How dare her! How dare she do such to my Bestie?' she said slamming her fist on the armrest.

'You look like an angry king on a K-drama,' he teased. She laughed.

'How dare you do that when I am serious?'

'You, whatever too,' he said. She stared at him. 'I told you, payback is a bitch.'

'You omitted horny, a horny bitch,' she added with a guffaw.

'Can your mind be any dirtier?'

'Says the guy who used mirrors to look under girls skirt.'

'Come on Sei, that was long ago in high school when I was childish and immature.'

'No you weren't. You were and still is a pervert,' she grinned.

'I think last week overdose still has your brain drowsy.'

'And running with me on your back still has your adrenaline running and causing you to spill any nonsense from your mouth.'

'Oh let's stop bickering. I am in a dilemma here.'

'Go find someone else to help you. You have upset me too much today.'

'Come on Sei. She found some hot guy and she keeps rubbing it in my face. Are you going to let her do this to your bestie, me, Taiye?' he said with huge puppy eyes. She stared at him for a moment then turned away from his gaze abruptly.

'Stop trying to guilt trip me,' she whined. 'It's totally unfair.'

'Life's unfair Seiyafa. Monica is unfair alongside it.'

'Whatever. But, how can she quickly get a boy toy after giving up seven months of dating, after giving you up?' she asked. 'No do not answer. I am doing whatever I do from now on because of that and not because of you, jerk.'

'Oh thanks Sei, jerk's bestie.'

'How come you never loose your sense of humour?'

'I'll tell you the secret of you agree to come to my house and cook me peppersoup and rice this Sunday.'

'Really?' she asked him, her brown eyes overflowing with enthusiasm. He nodded at her.

'Yes.'

'Go to hell!' he laughed hard and long at the twist.

'Whatever so just help me get back at her. I don't know if it is possible to win her heart, again.'

'I don't like her. I wouldn't help you win her heart bit I will sure help you strike back at her.'

'I love Monica Sei,' he told her in a pleading voice.

'Don't try to persuade me with that. It won't work and you know.'

'Ron is going to be at the party with Damilola,' he suddenly informed her. She stared at him, surprised and more interested at the moment. He hadn't wanted to tell her before, but he really needs her to do this for him. Oh he was just selfish! 'And here I thought I could help you win him back with your cooperation,' he said with a mock sigh of regret.

'I'm all in!' she announced. He smiled and she scoffed. The mind player, that had gotten her. Nevertheless she would just try to do as he had suggested. It never hurt to try.

'I thought you don't want in?' he said after another sip of his juice.

'Change is constant,' was her blatant retort. 'Anyways, I have a plan already brewing in my big head.'

'I never said that, you did. Big head,' he murmured to her hearing.

'Taiye?'

'Hmm?'

'Please just focus.'

'Alright ma'am. So what's the plan?' he asked her.

'One thing I am sure is that she threw this party and invite you just to show off her not toy. Then, she gave you two invitations for you and a date just to spite you. So, for it to back fire, we have to do the unexpected. You have to show up with a looker as well as me. I bet it'll shock Ron to his toes if I showed up with a super hot guy at the party and get all horny over him.'

'How gross!'

'You are the gross one for interrupting me when I was just at the verge of my eureka moment.'

'WTF!' he said.

'Jerk! Anyways as I was saying, we will set you up with someone. Now who would do? Someone who would completely make her feel as if she has lost something valuable -which you are not by the way- out of her obvious stupidity.'

'You probably?'

'Me?'

'Yes. It will hurt her pride that she lost me to you.'

'She broke up with you remember?' she reminded him.

'If she cared, she wouldn't want you around me. Besides, she was always weary of you when we were dating and so was Ron.'

'So, what you are trying to say is?' she asked still a bit confused.

'Let's both pretend to be dating. It will work both of them enough to come back. What do you think of it?' he asked her. She stood staring at him for a while, thinking.

And then, 'Well, I think it is an amazing idea!' she said.

'Then shall we?'

'Yes Taiye, we shall!' And then they both began to laugh evilly.
