Chapter 4 – Better The Friend You Know

"So we go for dinner at Nobu in West London, notorious for it's ridiculously  long reservations list, but he just turns up and we get a table.  Let me tell you, I am slaying in my Alexander McQueen dress and Manolo Blahnik heels, all brought by him of course. Anyway, we're at the table talking, laughing, whatever. After ordering drinks he pulls out this red box. My girl, I look down and it's a Cartier box". 

Stassia brags on about her latest trip to London with Ade. I've got my phone resting on my shoulder, not really listening but it's close enough to my ear hear her pauses and respond with the occasional, "yeah or really".  

"What the fuck?!"
I reply realising she has stopped babbling on 

"I know. An 18ct yellow gold Cartier love bracelet, Arrrrggghhh! Can you believe it!"
She continues

"Barely"
I reply nonchalantly 

"He's so sweet though, he's always surprising me with little gifts and random trips. I'm telling you Kami, he might just be my prince charming."
She says now in a high pitched voice as if he was fast becoming the love of her life. Nothing like a few expensive gifts to open up the keys to a trifling bitches heart.  

"How's David?!"
I ask intentionally changing the subject and simultaneously throwing a little shade. 

"Oh him yeah he's just David. Everything's cool with him, but you know I do my thing, right. Wait. Hold on. It's ok it's just Dan trying to get through."
She says as if it's normal to have a string of men at your beckon call. 

"Speaking of Dan, I still can't remember much from that night we spent with them in the Hilton. I can't even recall how I got home".
I bring up the subject of the nightmare night once more to see if she'll admit she witnessed my violation. I still wasn't certain if she was involved given her unscrupulous nature. 

"Yeah you were passed out. I mean blacked out cold. We carried you into the car and Dan ended up driving us all the way home from London. He dropped you off first, then me and headed home. I thought I told you all this?"
She replies 

"Where was Biggs?"
 I ask

"Nah he left first thing in the morning. Come to think of it I can't even remember him leaving?"
She answers

"That's the thing, I been meaning to tell you but because it's still not clear in my mind.."
I attempt to tell her what happened. 

"Wait hold on. It's Ade trying to get through now. Kam let me shout you back later ok. Bye."
She says cutting me off mid sentence. 

"Er, ok b"
She hung up before I could finish saying bye.
