THE UBER CAR pulled to a stop in front of Palmers hostel. Eniola showed him the receipt of the money she had transferred into the driver's account on her phone.
"Do you think I can get your number?" he asked, licking his lips. The last thing she needed was the Uber driver hitting on her. Not when she could still feel the imprint of Dayo's lips on hers.
"No," she said politely, pushing the door open. The car sped off leaving a mousy cloud of dust behind.
Palmers hostel was bustling with activities like every other night. Guys sat on the hood of cars with girls in their arms, enjoying the cold air of the night. The palm trees gently swayed to the tune of the light breeze, mimicking the soothing melody of Beyoncé's Brown skin girl blaring through the stereo of a car.
A man in his mid sixties was resting against a Hummer jeep, rearranging the folds of his white agbada. The man fiddled with the red coral beads around his wrists, waitin
CLOSE TO MIDNIGHT, the club was crowded as usual. The club was a well-known spot among Lagos big boys and was packed with people from all over the base. Club Deluxe was located in one of the most exclusive areas in Victoria Island, overlooking the ocean.The crowd was hyped as usual, as they watched the strippers twirling around the poles. Men roared their approval and threw fresh one thousand Naira notes at them. Brandy, one of the strippers had the full attention of the crowd as she dropped her spaghetti strap top, big breasts bouncing. The crowd went crazy and men slipped more fresh notes into the string of her red thong.Some girls carried champagne bottles nestled deep into buckets of ice with gold sparklers, shooting out as high as twelve inches. Each of the bottles of champagne cost around seventy thousand or more."So, wetin happen?" Omah asked, leaning over on his seat. Dayo glared at Abbey who was laughing and smacked the back of his head.
ENIOLA WINCED AS Fareedah worked a wooden comb through the thick strands of her hair until her scalp tingled.She was clamped between Fareedah's legs on the floor as she parted her hair from the forehead to the nape of her neck.Fareedah poured a tiny amount of coconut oil into her hands, rubbed them briskly together and massaged it over her hair.Lara waited till Onome left the room before she turned back to them. "Something is up with this babe oo," she stated.Eniola exhaled. "Abi she had a fight with Chidera? She was coming from her room that day, remember?""Onome went to the cinema with her yesterday, so I think they are cool." Fareedah explained, lifting a small section of hair and began braiding it tightly from the scalp."Maybe she has some personal issues she's dealing with," Lara shrugged."She doesn't even sit with me in class anymore." Eniola said, recalling the times she had tried to s
DAYO HANDED VICKY a red plastic cup and resumed his position behind her with his arms wrapped around her neck. A light breeze brings the fresh smell of the salty ocean mixed with the faint smell of barbecue smoke.The ocean tumbled violently in waves and people ran back at the sight of the approaching waves. Dim lights of stars and the moonlight create a glistening reflection on the ocean, giving it a shiny silver color.There was a DJ set up in one corner near the refreshment table. People were dancing, holding their red plastic cups in the air as they moved to the music. Goat meat roasted over searing hot fire in the distance."Come, Dayo. Let's dance," Vicky said. She pulled him to the crowd of people dancing in a distance and pressed herself against him.Dayo leaned into her as she pushed against him, grinding into him to the beat of the music. God he was turned on!Dayo met her a week ago at the night club and was very fortunate th
ENIOLA HATED WHEN guys whistled to get her attention like she was a sex object of some sort, it was simply irritating. They let out a roar of wolf whistles followed by nasty comments about how they want to 'eat her work'."Look at those titties!" One guy wearing a camouflage shirt yelled to his friends."Just ignore them," Fareedah said, linking her arm with hers. Eniola nestled closer to the girls as the boys kept whistling at her.Eniola held her sandals in her hand, threading her feet through the crisp golden sand. Conscious of the hungry eyes on her, she adjusted her crocheted bikini top."Look, that's Jide coming." Lara smiled, tucking her phone back into her Louis Vuitton tote bag.Jide was walking towards them with Dayo, looking every inch the bad boy that he was. Eniola grew nervous as he weaved through the group of boys that had been whistling at her. She bit the inside of her cheek and looked away as she felt herself grow nerv
"MERCY, PHONE," DAYO MUMBLED. He was lying nude on his bed, with only the worn edge of a brown duvet covering his morning stick.Dayo groaned as the soft naked body lying beside him refused to stir. His fingers edged closer to grab his vibrating phone under Mercy's clothes.A black G-string was lying on the lit screen of his iPhone X. The carelessly strewn underwear got the events of the night before clouding every inch of his mind.A lazy smile tugged at the corner of his lips. The room carried the strong smell of sex in the morning air.Dayo couldn't stop the smile on his lips from forming. Spending the night with Mercy, a final year student is definitely something to celebrate. Not just any Mercy, but the one from Law department; the best lay in the whole damn faculty!He slide the screen and answered the call without checking the caller ID.Only one person dared to call him this early."Dude, it's like 8
THE SCHOOL GATE WAS crowded with students jostling for a space in one of the cheaper danfo buses.Eniola knew that if she spent one more minute in the hassle, she was sure to be late for her first class. She stared at the swarm of motorcycles jam-packed at the far end corner of the school gate.Their faces were rigid and sweaty under their rusted helmets. Most of the students opted for the danfo buses because the fare was cheaper, while the okada riders wanted double the normal fare.Eniola would have preferred to ride in one of the buses herself, but she was running very late already. And getting to class late meant trouble with the lecturer. She held her arm forward and the motorcycles as if attracted by an invisible magnet, huddled around her.She climbed aboard the nearest one and told him where she was going to. Eniola grimaced as the motorcycle sped past the sight and the morning air rushed to her face, carrying the smell of rotten food.
DAYO WAITED TILL he was sure Prof. Ajayi wasn't paying attention to the entrance of the class before slipping into the class like a thief in daylight."Hey, my man." he says, exchanging an handshake with his friends.Omah smacked his arm playfully. "Guy, you too like woman. Shey you know say I knock your door before I commot?""Bro, I didn't sleep a wink all through the night. She was so fucking good." Dayo said, with a broad grin.Abbey edged closer, "You don knack Mercy be that ooo. Adedayo Banks the 'terminator'. "Dayo's smile grew wide, he relished the way his friends hailed him every time he won a bet. And that was every time, because Ade Banks has never failed to charm a girl out of her panties. Never."Wetin baba dey talk since?" Dayo asked Omah.Dayo propped his elbows on the wooden desk, which has been feasted upon by ravaging insects. The chipped edges had various names etched on it's faded brown surfac
THERE WAS A long queue at Blue Ocean club, Lekki Phase 1. The nightclub was a very popular nightspot among Unilag students.An unending line of people were jostling and peering along the lines towards the doors. Two huge bouncers guarded the entrance, a smug look plastered on their faces.Loud thumping music emanating from the club filled the air.Dayo walked straight up to the bouncers and flashed them a grin. The younger one was a huge man, bald hair, and a gold-tinted beard that framed his jaw. The guy grinned, stretching his wide lips enough to show his gold teeth. Seeds of perspiration adorn his bald head and shined a vibrant amber color.He unhooked the black velvet rope that separated the raging crowd from gaining entrance to the club. Dayo grinned and knocked knuckles with him before entering the club.As usual, the club was packed. You could feel the energy upon entering the room. Filled with exuberant youth just like himself, most o
