Eyes

5

Five hours later, we were all dressed. Ada wore a two piece cream coloured swim suit that complimented her complexion; she had her hair packed in a messy bun. Ij went for a short dress that showed off her long legs as she packed her hair piggy tail. As for me I went for a swim suit bra with my newly acquired short and I packed my braids all back in a loose bunch letting some fall to my face. By half past eight in the evening the party was in full swing. The music was loud, vibrating out of the huge speakers. People dancing, shouting, singing along with the music, swimming. Red cups everywhere and yes we were having fun.

We were at a table a little bit far away from the whole party scene talking in general and by we I meant Ij, Chika and I. the others were off doing their thing. It was then we heard yelling. We watched as a guy held a girl's wrist. To anyone with eyes, it was obvious that she didn't want to be with the guy. She was yelling at him to leave her alone but he didn't seem to care. Ij approached them with us trailing behind her.

"Leave me alone!" the girl shouted as she tried her hardest to pull away from the guy's grip. It was obviously a hard task; the guy was at least 6'5"and built like a horse. The girl was lucky if she reached the 5'2"mark.

"Leave her alone" Ij told the guy. He didn't even glance at her so she said it a bit louder.

"Mind your business" he snapped

"She clearly doesn't want to be with you so leave her alone" she retorted. He released his grip on the girl and she was pulling away from him so hard that she fell on her butt. She stood up, wiped herself off and rubbing her wrist. "Fool" Ij muttered

"What did you say?" he inquired as he took a step forward

"Fool" she repeated and I was shocked to find her on the floor. I stared at him in surprise when I realized that he shoved her down.

Before I could even react, Chika stepped forward and shoved the guy. "What's you problem" he barked. The guy didn't even respond, but he just swung. Chika didn't go down as easily as Ij. He swung back and before I could register, Chika was hitting the guy.

A small of group were forming trying to break up the fight. As if on cue Chidi came grabbed the back of his brother's shirt and yanked him off of the guy who had a bit of blood on his face and on his shirt. Chika didn't put up much of a fight when his brother yanked him away, probably because the guy wasn't hitting back. Speaking of the guy, he was just getting up and limping toward the horde of cars. Chika yelled some offensive words towards the guy's direction basically telling him that he wasn't much of a man.

"You can't go around starting fights, Chika" he remarked as he released Chika from his grip. I slowly walked over to the pair.

"He pushed Ij" Chika snapped as he motioned to Ij with a bloody hand. Chika looked at Ij.

'He what?" he asked

"He shoved me to the ground" Ij said with obvious shyness written over her face.

'"Are you alright" he asked. Ij nodded.

Chika patted his brother on his back. "Go get yourself clean". Ij picked up his phone and followed him to the hotel. I was working on dispersing the crowd, telling everyone that the show was over. There were grumblings and on some people's faces disappointment that the fight didn't last. Within in dispersing people I saw a familiar face. I remember feeling intense on sighting her and we had barely exchanged any words.

"You came?"

"Yes, I said I was going to come" she said confused

"Yeah, I know. I was just expecting you earlier than this" I lead her to the table we were once sat. "Well am here now" she responded, eye blue eyes sparkled with mischief. We talked on practically everything; life, space, family. You know, it wasn't small awkward talks but lengthy conversations that had us laughing. She wanted me to give her a tour round the hotel as this was her first time being here.We walked around, showed her the gym, the outside bar and other stuff out in the compound. We walked into the hotel as I headed straight for the elevator with the intention of me showing her how the rooms looked like. She trailed behind suddenly slowing in her steps causing me to turn and raise my eyebrow in question.
