EVERYBODY BUNDLES INTO THE penthouse. Eschewal steps in last. He closes the door and pads towards the lounge. Nerves shoot through him as he feels there will be no way to escape this sexual situation unless he lets everyone know he has been searching for a girl he saw in the park and does not want to have sex with anyone else except her. He can hear them laughing and turning his romantic pursuit into something ugly, like stalking. He swallows his nerves and decides that if there is no way out and he ends up having sex with one of the girls, he will end his search for the girl in the park.
He gets a surprise in the lounge; the girls are no longer flirting but huddled together on a small sofa.
He looks over at Deuce and Spiv, sitting on a long curved sofa opposite the girls. He mouths, "What, everything flop?" For a moment, a smile comes to his face. It disappears when he realizes what's happening. The girls are not giving up anything until some money is spent.
Spiv knows the drill and gets up from the sofa. "Come, man, let's get this shit started. Do you lot want champs, yeah?"
Tanisha jumps up. "Yeah, that's more like it. I was beginning to think you guys weren't gentlemen," she says with a grin as she follows Spiv over to the phone and rubs his back while he rings room service.
Eschewal looks over at Deuce's vexed face. Deuce thinks Spiv is trying to sabotage his chance with Tanisha, so he tries to embarrass Spiv.
Deuce leans back into the sofa and yells to Spiv, "Oi, blood, don't bother ordering the cheap shit, you know, man's a baller, blood, you get me?"
Spiv ignores Deuce and orders two bottles of the second most expensive champagne on the list and some oysters. He hangs up the phone. "How you mean don't order no cheap shit? Listen, you and Eros better dip into your pockets because this ain't no freeness," neither Eschewal nor Deuce comments.
Spiv sucks his teeth and scans his eyes over everyone. "Oi, we might as well all get into the Jacuzzi until the champs come." He does not wait for anybody's reply. He holds Tanisha by the waist and walks to the Jacuzzi. As he whispers in Tanisha's ear, Deuce's eyes are burning a jealous hole into his back.
