Something New💖

CHAPTER 15- AYO

"She had magic in her eyes
even the stars envied"

************

I arrived Nigeria yesterday, when I received a message that the auction has been moved, so its tonight. Welcome to my country. Celebrities are crazy about the auction already, not all of course, mostly the inner circle. It's one of the occasions where you see almost all Nigerian celebrities in the country other than Christmas and Presidential elections. Don't laugh! They are strong believers of every vote counts in a country they only visit for concerts, Christmas or a relative's funeral.

Cubana Underground Club is pretty filled up -- the darkly lit club for VVIPs who would spend millions just so their secret dealing would never see the break of daylight. It is believed that anything that happens here is indeed the only thing hidden under the sun. Believe me they are.

Jon Bellion's Stupid Deep played in the background. The glitter balls were the only lights available, making it hard to identify anyone except they make a grand entrance. I bypassed that grand entrance when I decided to arrive two hours earlier to Cubana. I feel sick but I'm not. You know that moment when you don't want to be alone? This is one of the moment.
I checked my wrist watch, Past nine. Few hours to the auction.

"Oluwa Burna!!!" The hypeman literally screamed Very weird for a man but Burna Boy has that effect, his entourage chorused his chants,

"I no want make person tell me say I too lazy"
"Oluwaburna of la la ni" His crew chorused  "Oluwa Burna kosi Lazy oo"

I had to laugh. He changed the air in the club in just like two minutes. The background music changed to his song 'Wonderful'. That was all the DJ has to do to get Burna on the stage jumping like a thirteen year old when he caught sight of me.

"Wizkidayo himself! My Gee since day two. DJ Respect!!" Times like this I just want to disappear. As faces turned to my table, I raised a glass with a tilt of my head in acknowledgement.

"Joro" by Me, the ladies surged out to the stage in very scanty clothings and some in their birthday suits.

"He is obsessed about this auction," Stefany slid into my booth.

"Hence his shirtless appearance," I completed.

She laughed. "His clothes are in the Limo. I made sure of that. What's with you guys and being shirtless?" She asked worriedly taking a swig from her champagne.

Stefeny,  Burna Boy's girlfriend no Woman, he calls her that. Oluwa Burna is just among the lucky ones who found their missing rib.
As Burna walks to my Booth looking at Stefany, I saw that look. I know that look, that you ride with me or I drown look. I know the look because I am envious of him.

"Wizkid Ayo on the face of the earth again."

"Naso so we see am oo," I replied as he pushed me to slide into the booth.

"Baby, are you still considering attending the auction shirtless?"

"Why not? They invited me right?" He looked at me as I pretended to sip my drink.

"Yes, they did. Why wouldn't they?" Stefany answered.

God. when I finally have that look, help me detect when she's is lying. They didn't invite him, I did. But that's a story for another time.

"Guy, Whats up? How's the auction gonna be?"

"The usual," I said

He eyed me, "I'm sorry but I don't know the usual," he said and Stefany laughed at him.

"Make wuna no use me catch cruise. See that Winch dey come."
I turned to see the winch and behold! Manuel!

He virtually is Burna's nightmare because he met Stefany first.

"What can we do for you, Emmanuel?" Burna spat.

"I'm not here for you Burna. By the way, it's Manuel. Oh my God! I'm here for you, Steph."

It's been ages."

"Three days," she replied giggling and accepting Manuel's handshake.

"Two days?" Burna asked unbelievably.

Manuel and Steph ignored him.
He turned to me, "I could kiss you right now."

"And I will kill you,"

He laughed, hugging and patting me on the back so hard I could throw up.

"Fuck you."

"Please no," he shuddered.

"Have you seen Saima?'' He asked, picking Burna's drink and taking a swig.

"Nope, why?"

"She wasn't allowed in."

"She's my manager."

"Let's say according to the security, she wasn't dressed for the occasion."

I understood the occasion. I'm also wondering what she would wear to a Nightclub. I put out my smoke as Manuel helped me with the lighter.

"Oh! There she is."

I turned to the door the bouncer stopped her.

I blew hot smoke. I was... should I say I was caught? She had a black veil wrap and a mad bugus wool jacket on, that I and three others could fit into, okay that's an overstatement. buttons undone except one. Interesting,

Then I looked at her face. She had this I can't control myself look she was looking directly at my booth saying something to the bouncer, I forgot she didn't have a pass. She waved her hand to me and the jacket opened Forget how far away from her I was, I know one thing, she's got on this mad white body clincher gown under that damn wool jacket. Blood rushed south, I gulped my champaign so fast I almost choked. She was still waving and Manuel waved back.

"Wetin you dai look?"( What are you looking at)

"Ehnnnn?" I turned to Burna. "Oh! Nothing!"

Her white inner gown was eye-catching in the dimly lit club and virtually the only one on white, she was well noticed..... By me, In her white sneakers with blinking lights. So help me Lord!
She wasn't looking anywhere else. They were celebrities here but she chose to want to look at me. Somebody give me a crown already.

She wasn't far from the entrance when I heard the 30 Billion Geng and if she doesn't walk faster than that she would be crushed, let's say in a mini stampede.

Still smiling, arranging and rearranging her wool jacket. I should warn her right? Wrong

I took another sip and leaned back. It's no news. Davido's entrance is  grandeur always. as the DJ changed the beat. The light sprinkles as a lady in a skimpy dress leads the way while others followed, some holding bottles and popping and whoooo-ing.

My dear Simmer stopped to look at them. Wrong Choice. I closed my eyes as I didn't want to be a witness to the small mishap about to happen.
I counted to ten surprisingly fast and when I opened my eyes, Simmer was drenched literally

The waiter helped her up and I saw the damage as wine red dripped from her body, She was smiling and murmuring something am sure was "No problem"

And for whatsoever reason I was furious..
