Circle, Accra Episode 14 – 15

Circle, Accra
Episode Fourteen (Into The Night)
Shuga had tried reaching Femi countless times but to no avail, she was boiling with anger and growing impatient, playing with her business and not living up to her expectations really gets her mad, she had no option than to send other girls to meet the supposed clients, and with her, another package for delivery.
Femi on the other hand was drooling her head and laughing her mind off, Nedd was full of jokes, and she couldn’t just keep her chill, she was enjoying her meal, and didn’t really pay attention to the drinks she sipped on.
Nedd: So tell me, where do you work, don’t tell me you work with Tequila, because I know Tequila is messed
Hmmm, Femi swallowed hærd, she caught her breath before getting herself to posture
Femi: I do work with Tequila, but not exactly doing what you think she might be doing, it’s complicated for me
Nedd: So you know Shuga, that witch?
Femi: Yea, I know her very well, I work directly for her, and am almost her favorite errand girl lately… And how do you know Shuga?
Nedd: I had issues with her sometime back, when I was starting this bar, the bar was supposed to have a club, I had the permit to go on, but when I held the first club night, some people told me not to open the club again if I want to stay at the bar, I challenged them, but my cry wasn’t heard, I later got to know Shuga was the root of my problem… She didn’t want any club around hers, so she got big people to stop me, you know, we are just about thirty minutes walk apart…. She didn’t want competition.
Femi: Wooo, that’s too bad
Nedd: I never got to meet her face to face, I would have smacked her in the face, I wouldn’t care about what her guards will do to me after I deliver my punch
Femi: Hahahaa, you interesting
Nedd: And again, where you stay, why don’t you move out? There are places you can get nice accommodation for cheaper prices, that kiosk ghetto is a dangerous place you know…
Femi: Yeah am considering that, but I can’t find my friend Tequila, she’s been missing for almost a week now, and nobody seem to know where she is
Nedd: Have you asked Shuga?, I ever heard she has an interesting way of punishing those girls who work for her
Femi: I did, but she has not given me anything I need
Nedd: Oh wow, but we can get you a place, whilst you search for her
Femi: I want a place here, like here in Circle, I feel very connected here
Nedd: I try to see whether there’s a place
Blakk had contacted one of the security men at Vienna, they ever worked together so they understand the rules, you don’t have to talk about happenings of Vienna outside Vienna, you just don’t snitch on Vienna.
But the two had history, Blakk had helped him when he waa in need..
Blakk: I know say you see something, adey beg bro
Borga: I no sure bro, ano sure, things dey happen, you know wasop
Blakk: You sure say you no see Tequila, or you nor know what dem take do am bro?

Blakk: Me den Bulldog no dey fine bro, but ago try call am
Borga: Charley, adey beg, you know the game, make you no mention my name, you barb
Blakk: Bro, I barb
Blakk waa very convinced something really happened to Tequila, he had worked there before, and he knows how things worked, and he also knew Borga was not being honest, he did that out of fear, Blakk will now get in touch with Bulldog.
Chief had not heard from Femi since he came back from abroad, he really wanted to see her again, Shuga had gotten him in troubles sometime back, and he had issues with the police and BNI, they froze his accounts and held him for sometime, it took another powerful person to set him free, and he got to know Shuga was the one trying to get him behind bars, he plays cool with Shuga, not showing any signs of venge when they meet, but deeper within him, he’s waiting for the day to come, when he will personally use a sharp knife to cut into her flesh bit by bit, and let her know who has what, and since he met Femi, he will make sure he uses her to his advantage.
Femi, enough of that Smirnoff, you look tipsy, let go home, when Nedd said home, he meant his home, they went straight to his car, and within minutes, they were on the highway.
“I have never traveled on this road, and am very sure this road doesn’t lead to my place, so where are you taking me to?”… Femi asked
Nedd: My home of course, where else?
Femi: I prefer to little student mattress in my kiosk, it’s equally comfortable in there
Nedd: Oh really, and yet, you’re not protesting about going back, are you?
Femi: Whatever
Femi in some way was yet to trust Nedd, she brought out her phone and texted Blakk who she was with, that will at least make someone know who she was with, even though Blakk had seen them leave together early on,
At Nedd’s place, the two went for another drink, this time old wine, she it was too dark into the night, Femi became restless herself, she had taken a shower, but her s€×ual needs was at its peak, she wouldn’t fight back if Nedd to jump on her, she just sat in wait, for whatever might happen, Nedd emerged from the washroom, with a towel around his wa-ist, Femi noticed the bulge in there, her heart raced faster, she only lay back, trying to control herself, but not any attempt to deny herself.
Episode Fifteen
Femi woke up the next morning, her eyes fixed strict to the ceiling, trying to connect the patterns design on the ceiling, she stretched herself and felt she was nearly unclad, she quickly raised the blanket, she wore only her p-nties, her b-ra was laying carelessly on the floor, she touched herself to see whether she was engaged in some form of activity last night.
Nedd came into the roam, Femi quickly covered herself with the blanket and tried to read possible signals from Nedd’s face
“Why are you staring at me like that?, are you sleepwalking?”… Nedd asked
Femi: Why am I unclad, and why didn’t you knock before coming in?
Nedd: n*k*d?… How am I supposed to know that, I brought you in here with your clothes on… And I thought you might still be asleep, that’s why I didn’t care to knock
Femi: So you watched me strip unclad…. Or..?
Nedd: Oh Cmon, why are you so insecure about your uncladness… This is my guestroom ok… I slept in my room wai
Femi:… Errrn?
Nedd: You forgot you were tipsy… Yea
Femi: Oh maybe
Nedd: I prepared breakfast, you should join me after
Steve has been waiting for Femi to call him since she left, he wanted to use her as his delivery girl, even if it will involve her traveling outside to deliver packages, he wouldn’t mind, he knew Femi was in for the money, and she wouldn’t really care what she will do to have, Femi had made him understand earlier when she was with him, and the only way he could get in touch with Femi was to order her from Shuga, and he also knows Shuga will be suspicious if He should mention Femi’s name, Shuga had told her girls not to develop any sort of relationsh¡p with customers, just do your work, get paid and leave, but he could also get his boys to go get Femi from Vienna, either through persuasion or force.
Shuga had scratched the face of another girl who works for her, she believed the girl was in a relationsh¡p with one if her clients, and she wasn’t taking of that, she had warned them against that because she could loose a customer in the name of relationsh¡p, she doesn’t really care who the girls have relationsh¡p with, but it shouldn’t be with her big time clients, she used her nails to disfigure the girls face, she threatened to pour acid on her face the next time she sees him around the man, she seized the girl’s phone, tore her dress and pushed her out of her office.
“Did any of you see Femi here last night”… Shuga asked angrily
Nobody answered, she asked again with a stern look into the eyes of one of the bartenders
Bartender: No Ma’
She took out her phone and tried Femi’s line again, and it was still off, she threw her phone onto her desk and poured herself a glass of whisky, she wants submission, and she will make sure Femi submits to her.
Femi and Nedd were sitting in the living room watching movies, Nedd had orderd food from a food joint, they feel really wasted from last night, Femi wanted to leave, but Nedd convinced her to stay a little while, he wouldn’t mind if Femi stays there with her through out the rest of the week.
Femi had also confessed to him about how he goes about her supposed job, she will be branded a pr-stitute, but she’s not exactly a pr-stitute, deeper within her, she wouldn’t sleep with no man or woman, especially after she spoke to Nedd.
Nedd wasn’t all happy with what she was doing, visiting the houses of oldmen she doesn’t know, he feared she is in a way putting herself in danger
Femi: Danger?… My life has always been in danger, trust me
Nedd: This men can be dangerous, you heard what that man told you, I mean the Chief, he says he will feed you to his dogs
Femi: I don’t think so, he wouldn’t do that
Nedd: Why do you think so?
Femi: Because I don’t know, I just feel he wouldn’t, Steve evdn told me to call him, am yet to
Nedd: So you didn’t sleep with any of them men?
Femi: So you don’t believe me?… Im going to my house jorrrt
Nedd: Hey heyy heyyy, not soo fast ah ahhn, I was just been caring
Femi: Caring what, I don’t lie like that
Nedd: So will you sleep with me?
Femi; Sleep with you?… That’s easy, shift let me sleep by you
Nedd: Stop acting funny, I mean have s€× with me?
Femi: And what will you give me in return?
Nedd: Money, Shopping, Iphone…
Femi: Oh really, so you really see me as a pr-stitute huh, and you will pay me with Money, Iphone and Shopping?… Like what do you take me for
Nedd: Oh sorry, that’s not what I meant…. Hold on don’t leave Femi
Femi didn’t wait to hear more, she went into the room, dressed up and left, Nedd could’nt stop her, He felt very stupid, he knew Femi was smart, and he lost tracks of his own conscience.
“I could have k-ssed her to see what her reaction will be, or just touch her face, or l-ips or fo something rom-ntic, why the F**k will I ask her about s€×?”… Nedd cussed himself for acting stupidily
Femi sat in the trotro and brought out her phone, she knew some people might have tried reaching her, especially hse Nigerian friends at the Club, and also Shuga, but she wasn’t in the mood to switch on her phone, she knew very well Nedd will definetly call, and she wasn’t in the mood to entertain him.
“Guys are almost the same globally, they reach into your p-nts, eat to their fullest and dump you like some kind of garbagge”… She thought
When she reached her place, she went straight into her bed, and tears formed into her eyes, she tried fighting it, but emotions won’t, she sunk her face into the pillow, and made tears flow…Life has never been fair to her
