Okay so as promised ,
MERCY'S POV
Have you gotten somewhere and actually regret your decision.
Because I am right now. I was standing in front of a house and even outside drunk horny teenagers were present.
I thought it would be like the first party I had gone to , Mide's birthday party.
But this was actually worse , just from the outside and blaring music.
I should have just stayed at the cold stone and eat my Ice cream really slow. The whole place made me remember Teni and the little fight we had last week.
I know I didn't tell you guys cause we settled it and we're fine or so I think.
Well the reason for the fight was because I caught him flirting with a lady on his phone.
But he claimed that it was a long time ago or whatever bullshit he said. I'm starting to think maybe we rushed things. And like they always say at the beginning it's always sweet , but it's not even been up to a month so I don't know why its moving away from the sweet times.
Okay so how did I move from party to relationship problems , anyway back to reality.
Hakeem held my hand as he led the way inside the house. I guess the rest had told him where to find them.
We entered the house and the whole floor had turned into a dancing floor , some couples were grinding each other while others were just making out , heavily. Children of now adays always horny.
He led us upstairs, his grip on my hand still tight. When we reached the top floor which had that VIP vibe I saw the rest of them.
Halima was wearing a tight , short black gown and heels sneakers to go with it. She wore a braids wig and choker with big earrings making her face look even more cute.
Trisha was in a white strapless crop top , a very tight short skirt showing her curves and figures then a marching jacket to it. She wore a heels van just like Halima making her look so hot and she also wore a big round earring .
Oyinkan , well she killed it with her black crop sweat shirt and even more shorter skirt than my own , she wore a black belt making it match with the sweat shirt and then added her vans. She looked sweet.
Hakeem was shaking hands with one guy, he looked averagely handsome , well he was handsome but you know not close to Hakeem's own , not an insult oo just saying.
When they were done with those bro hugs stuff we sat down on the couch too , it was a circular couch with a big centre table in the middle.
The centre table was already filled with different beers and alcohols.
I sat down with Damien on my right and Hakeem on my left and at the end of the couch.
And the girls were right beside their boyfriends reminding me of mine. I felt my heart sink a little but I brought out my phone ,
My eyes caught Hakeem's movement picking a beer can and opening it taking a big gulp of it .
I haven't touched alcohol before , so watching all of them was tempting.
And like I said this is peer pressure, I can now see what my civic teacher always talk about in junior high.
Zoning out of their conversation since I was lost as usual and wait did I add that Eniola and her boyfriend was also present , I just didn't want to describe her cause of her yeye behaviour and also since she hasn't apologized.
I sent a text to Teni but he wasn't online so he didn't see it.
I tapped on the gallery icon and decided to glance through all my pictures,
After scrolling and scrolling I finally reached the one Teni and I took at the beach.
We looked so good together, and I believe we're good together. I just have to forget about that phone incident completely and that awkward atmosphere hanging around us won't be there .
"Is that your boyfriend?" I heard someone whisper making me jump, my phone almost fell from my hands and I couldn't help but glare at the person who couldn't just talk normally.
It was Damien ,
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He added when he saw the expression on my face . Did I look that scary ?
"Yeah no problem. Yes that's my boyfriend."I replied back ,
"Wow." He said back with a surprised expression ,
"Why are you so surprised? Do you know Teni?" I asked straight .
"Somehow, we just meet once in a while coincidentally."
"Okay. " I said back and faced my phone. When I became thirsty , I picked a small bottled Coca-Cola , opened it and gulped it down.
"Don't tell me you drank that Coca-Cola finish." Hakeem said from beside me but I was feeling strange , my head was feeling light and everywhere was almost spinning.
"What's wrong with it , why am I feeling somehow?" I asked my words slurred,
"Shit it's spiked. Mercy you don't just drink anything at the party ,what re you drinking another one now?" He asked frustrated making me giggle.
I opened the second bottle and drank it finish , I just felt like taking more and more.
Damien who was also watching the show with Hakeem was chuckling as he passed a red cup to me.
Hakeem grabbed it from him before I could collect it making me pout ,
"Hakeem give it back." I said with my pout.
"No I can't, you're tipsy already." He said back .
I smiled at his angry face ,
"I'm not tipsy, just let me take one more cup." I said back with my puppy face which no one could resist not even him.
"Just this one cup mercy." He said with a sigh and passed the cup to me , instead of the sweet taste this one burned my throat , I quickly placed the almost empty cup on the table.
I looked at the sight downstairs and everyone was dancing to nobody by joeboy.
"Hakeem let's dance." I said in his ear ,
"Mercy you can't dance remember." I felt the tears gather in my eyes at what he said ,
"How can you say that I can't dance Hakeem?" I asked and sighed.
"Fine you can dance , let's go." He said standing up and stretching his hand down , I put mine on it and he dragged me up .
I looked at the rest of them and regretted my decision already , babies would be made tonight.
Hakeem held my hand as we walked downstairs. Immediately we got to the dance floor , the song changed to billionaire by Teni and the people started singing after her as they danced.
I joined them , laughing and liking the feel of the alcohol hitting in and also dancing in front of Hakeem.
When the song changed to the recent hit intentions by Justin Bieber the couples on the dance floor started grinding to one another.
I decided to copy them ,I turned my back to a confused Hakeem and before he could talk I started dancing against him, rubbing my back side on him at least that's what I thought the others were doing.
And my head was still spinning but for some unknown reasons I felt like doing something crazy.
"Mercy stop." He said as he pulled back ,
"I have to get you home. Let's go." He said with a finality in his tone.
Didn't I dance it well , why was he so angry?
"I'm feeling thirsty." I said and he sighed rubbing his hair.
"Let's go to the kitchen then." He said and held my hand leading me to the kitchen. It was quite empty , and he opened the fridge bringing out a cold bottle water. He passed it to me.
"I'll be back , stay here okay? I just need to get your purse and tell them we're going okay?"
I nodded in reply .
I watched him walk out before sitting on the counter after how many tries since I was seeing double. I opened the bottle , and took a large gulp of it and finished the water after the second gulp.
Suddenly someone entered the kitchen, no two people entered and they were making out , heavily that I was about to shout at them to take a room but that died in my throat when I caught sight of the guy.
The sight was heartbreaking , his eyes opened and caught mine too and we just stared at each other. Teni was here standing in front of me and beside him a clueless drunk girl was standing.
I blinked back the tears , all the alcohol I had drank disappeared and my eyes was now clear. His eyes was filled regret , surprise and regret all over again.
I jumped down from the counter and walked up to him. Standing in front of him , i didn't know when I raised my hands and slapped him ,
"Teni why would you do this?" I asked quietly as the tears just kept on gathering. Why do all my Fridays or weekends with the gang always end up bad.
"I'm sorry. I was drunk. I swear I didn't know what I was doing." He said panick filling him.
Hakeem walked in this time and Teni's eyes followed him and I could see him getting angry , at least I didn't kiss Hakeem so why was he angry when he didn't even have the right too.
"Hakeem let's go." I said walking out of the kitchen with the bottle of whiskey in my hand. I opened the entrance door and stepped out of the house .
I felt a tug on my hand making me turn back ,
"Babe I'm so sorry , please believe me."
I removed my hands from his hold , "Teni stop , you do this and all you can say is you're drunk? Teni I trusted you , when you had that fling online I thought yeah it's just online and it's nothing but to see you kiss another girl hurts okay? Just leave me alone. I don't think I can talk to you." I said, but he still didn't leave.
"You heard the girl Teni, just leave." Hakeem said and grabbed my hands leading me to the car.
When we entered I sat down in the passenger seat , the hurt I was feeling in my heart wasn't subsiding , the tears were even hard to control now.
I did my seat belt and opened the new bottle of whiskey in my hand and took a large gulp ,
"Mercy when did you take this?" Hakeem said attempting to collect the bottle from me.
"Just leave it Hakeem , I need to forget. It makes one forget right?" I said and took another gulp,
Hakeem sighed and the rest of the drive was quiet and I just kept on drinking the whiskey.
...
"Okay we're finally here. Thank God, I won't let you drink again." I heard Hakeem say making me scoff as he opened the door,
"What can you do about it ? Nothing, you can do nothing but kiss your ass. " I said back with a glare as we walked in.
He chuckled , "drunk mercy is feisty. Sit let me bring bottle water."
He said as he placed me on the couch.
My mind kept on flashing what happened earlier and now all I just felt was anger.
I wanted to cry out but I didn't want to look weak, I wanted to look strong.
Hakeem came back and sat beside me passing the bottle water to me ,
I collected it and drank a little.
"Thanks Hakeem ." I said with a quiet voice slowly leaning to him.
I know some people were expecting that but who expected her also kissing Hakeem or what is she about to do?
If Teni begs for a second chance, should she forgive him?
Anyway ,
vote , comment and share.
Love y'all
Eniola ð
