They stepped into the club with the VIP assess card Mitchell had. The loud music and the toxic smell of booze had Derin's head spinning already. Huffing, she raised her head high and straightened her shoulders. Michelle walked with such ease beside her. They were both Clad on gold sequence gowns that stopped above the knee. Mitchell had made the dresses long ago but had never seen any use for it.
Mitchell stopped. Derin turned to her.
"Shit. He's here." She breathed.
Derin creased her brows. "Who?"
Mitchell stared ahead. Derin followed her gaze, they landed on a very familiar man. It was Ebuka Umeh, Mitchell's plus one at the bonfire.
"Is he the guy you're stalking? " Derin shouted, trying to be heard over the music.
Mitchell groaned. "No."
"So... what's with him."
Mitchell paused her lips.
Derin raised a brow. "Did you sleep with him?!"
Mitchell turned to her, smirking. "I'm a virgin madam."
Derin seemed taken aback. As the thought settled in, it sent a pang of jealousy. Michelle was a perfect description of what she wanted to be. Her heart ached as she thought of all her dreams and the mistakes she'd ruined it with. In life, most things never happen the way we want them. Obstacles intervene.
She laughed falsely, trying to lighten the air. She hoped Michelle didn't notice. "Who would have thought. My bitchelle is a virgin."
"Your bitchelle?"
Derin grinned. "I'm the only one allowed to call you that madam."
Mitchell laughed.
"So what's going on." Derin asked, all play gone.
Mitchell sighed. "Let's head out back, there is a pool where we can talk."
They both weaved their way through horny adults and ass-gropping males who seemed attracted to the color gold. Mitchell kept covering her face, trying to prevent Ebuka from seeing her.
Once they got outside, through a back door Mitchell knew so well, Derin was surprised to see a pool. She walked over to it reluctantly.
"A pool? In a club?" She gasped.
Mitchell shrugged. "Caleb has a way of doing things."
"Caleb." Derin noted. "The guy we should be stalking?"
Mitchell rolled her eyes. They both walked over to the pool side and sat by it. The loud music in the background boomed across the poolside.
"So... Ebuka, Caleb?" Derin asked.
Mitchell sighed. "Ebuka is my brother's best friend. My brother's name is Ebuka too. We practically grew up together and all. Sha, I like him. He moved to PH. Nothing is going to work."
Derin remembered Mitchell mentioning her brother in her birthday speech.
Derin cocked her head. "Does he know?"
Mitchell shrugged. "I don't know -"
"How come he was your plus one to that bonfire."
"I asked him, when he came to visit."
Derin smirked. "So he tells you anytime he is in Lag?"
Mitchell nodded.
"Hmm." Derin hummed. "So how does Caleb matter."
