“I think I found her with her friends,” he says. Thankfully, inside the lounge isn’t as loud as outside.
“Show me.”
He turns the camera and I see Jade and her friends sitting facing each other. Lots of drinks and food on the table. A guy is sitting very close to Jade. Weirdly, I can tell she’s uncomfortable by the guy sitting close to her. The guy rises and kisses her on her cheek before walking away. Am taken aback, but soon as he turns. She’s wiping her cheek. I want to know how this plays out.
“Vincent, get closer to them and keep the phone on, make sure, I can hear their conversation.”
I refuse to believe Jade is cheating. It’s unlike her. I know but my mind is chipping away some of that trust.
“So, are you going to give him a chance?” one of the girls asked.
“Give who a chance? I hear Jade ask.
“CJ. Who else? Her squeaky voice drawls “Like you can’t tell the guy is crazy about you,” she says rolling her eyes animatedly.
“Nnoma stop trying to start trouble. I’ve told you I’m not interested in CJ. You can have him,” Jade answers in an icy tone. She’s upset.
“I will, if he would look at me but the guy has been acting like a lovesick puppy since you landed in Lagos.”
“How’s that my problem? I’ve told him that I’m not interested and if you tell him otherwise that’s his problem for believing you and not me.”
“You know that your vajayjay doesn’t have a meter read. Your boyfriend Naseer, or whoever, can’t tell if the meter has gone up, whatever happens in Lagos stays in Lagos.”
I hear Jade laugh. “So, your answer to me saying I miss Naseer is to rack up the meter on my vajayjay with CJ.”
“Yes now! You know CJ is rich and he’s not stingy. He’ll spoil you with money and I hear the guy is a beast in bed. Won’t you just love having the multiple O.” she acts like she’s having an orgasm just talking about it.
“If money is the criteria, then Naseer still wins, and don’t worry about my O. I get my multiple Os from Naseer only.”
“I beg, leave your Naseer for America and sample this fine man.” She waves Jade off in a brush-off manner.
“Nnoma, what did CJ promise you?” I hear a different voice.
“Nothing, oh! I can just see that he likes Jade and she’s not looking his way.”
“Liar, liar skirt on fire, Nnoma. I know he promised you something that’s why you are pushing Jade to bed him but you know she won’t so you might as well forget about his promises.”
“Yeah right. Jade, are you going to tell Tito what happened last night?”
“What happened last night?” I hear Jade.
“Stop playing coy, CJ told me you guys kissed and made out last night.” She rolls her eyes as she has just shared the in-house secret.
“He’s a bloody liar. He tried to kiss me, and I pushed him away. He then forced me into a corner and tried to put his hands under my blouse. I kicked him in the groin and shouted for Lolade who came into the room. She pulled him away from me. You can ask her if he’s telling you otherwise, he’s lying, and I don’t need to try and convince you. But I will ask you to stop giving him details about my whereabouts, I know the only way he keeps showing up, is you feeding him my movement, so stop it. I detest having him near me, but I remained quiet because I know how his arrogance and bruised ego can quickly escalate, I’m telling you again stop feeding him my whereabouts.” Jade is upset.
“Whatever, Jade” The girl grabs her bag and leaves.
“Let her go.” I hear the third voice.
“I don’t care about her, why are we friends with her again, she’s always spreading lies.” Jade is upset.
“Ignore her. Lolade should be here soon, and we can leave but I want to ask you and I say this without any agenda or malice. Don’t you think you should break up with this Naseer guy by now? You said, his family doesn’t like you, his ex-girlfriend slapped you plus she’s still clinging to him, his father said he would never marry you so why are you wasting your time with him.”
“Despite all the stated obstacles, I love him, presently that’s all I need to know and trust, though at some point, the reality is I have to give him up, honestly, it’s not something I can do right now without crumbling. You told me how Lolade was when she and Bosun broke up last year. I honestly think I’ll be worse; all I ask is you promise not to say I told you so when he breaks up with me or when I face reality and leave him.”
“I got you, Jade. You know that. I just might have the perfect rebound guy for you right now, why wait.”
Jade laughs. “Mistress Tito the matchmaker, already fixing me up.”
