Binded by friendship - Episode 1

 

Eve's POV
If it were up to me I would have preferred a nice bubble bath and a sweet nap wrapped in my husband's arms after a long flight from South Africa but nothing beats a night with my girls. 
I have been on a music tour around Africa for two months and there is no sweet feeling like been back home. Being back to my husband and girls.

After I arrived at the exclusive bar for the kinds of me located within the vicinity of the West Ham hotel around ten, Paparazzis were all over me as questions were hurled at me.... 

"Eve, when is your next single release???"

"Is it true that your husband Nicholas is cheating on you with Effy???"

"What can you say about Victor dumping Vivian???"

Who told them that I was going to be here???Stupid Paparazzis. 

My bodyguards helped me get  into the lobby which was filled with modern and elegant furnishings excited that I get to have a night with my girls  after a long time...

I just hope no one pesters me for an autograph or a selfie . It gets on my nerves at times especially when I want to spend time from the limelight.

Immediately I spotted my girls who were seating at a corner enjoying their drinks. 
As soon as they saw me, the four of us became excited and euphoric. 
"You look amazing."Vivian complimented. I had worn a brown slinky bodycon dress with a ruched bodice detailing and a Bardot neckline with black strappy heels. 
"Looking good is my weakness..."

After all of us hugged each other, we settled happily on the soft padded couch.

"You look tired babe,"Tamara commented.
"Music tour is no joke."I peeled the black leather jacket I was wearing from my skin and placed it behind me.

"Things haven't been the same without you..."Tamara added.
"I am glad my absence was felt.."I beamed.

"So what did you bring me from all over Africa???"Amyra asked,resting her head on my shoulder.
"A lot of goodies

. You know I always got you my girls.."I smiled,squeezing Amyra's hand. 

I looked across the marble table  to notice Vivian sulking. What happened now???I hope it's not about Victor. 

Too many times I wanted to bump her head on the wall  to show her Victor was a certified Asshole but she ended up knowing the hard way.

"What's wrong baby girl????"I asked.
"Love sucks..."She stated pitifully.

"You know he isn't worth it." I reminded her with a raised eyebrow.
"No everyone is like you. You have an amazing career and a rich handsome husband who loves you dearly. some of us are not that lucky..."She snapped at me as if I was the one that told Victor to cheat...

"I had warned you before about Victor but you wouldn't listen..."I said in a low whisper.
"I know I was stupid for not listening. You don't have to keep pointing it out to me again and again.."She rolled her eyes and looked the down at her fingers.

I sank back in the couch and began drinking my margarita. I was so tired and the last thing I wanted was arguing with Vivian. She was like this wild cat that can't be tamed..

For a while, the atmosphere was tense before Amyra broke the silence.
"Are we the problem???" Amyra asked her voice full of concern.

"Why????"

"We never seemed to get the right men. Are we too intimidating???Are we not pretty enough????"

"Where is this coming from Amyra???" I asked.

"You are the only one who is happily married...The rest of us seem to be just going with the floor..."

"Amyra talk about yourself. As for me I am okay. I have a good job, I am far way stable financially and I don't need a man to make me feel awesome..." Tamara cussed out, gulping down the rest of her drink...

"Aren't you just one lucky b*tch???The universe seems to always be by your side..." Vivian narrowed her eyes and looked at me dangerously...

"Maybe if you stop behaving like a wild cat, the universe will take your side.. Anyway Eve dear, How are you planning to deal with Effy. I can't understand why she is always so nasty and beefing with you..." Tamara always forgets to swallow her chill pill...

"What do you expect???Eve has everything she would ever wish for."Amyra shook her head in disappointment.

"I heard a rumour that she is that MCA side dish. What's his name again????" Tamara retorted.

"Rio Ghina...."I said in disgust.

"That's old news . Didn't you guys hear the latest news???" Vivian threw her hands Infront dramatically...

"What news???" We all asked in unison...

"The nigga dumped that cheap slut's ass and took back the car he had bought her. She even moved back to Buruburu from Runda..."Vivian stated icily...

"Poor soul...." I shook my head in pity.

"Poor soul my foot..That slut accused Nicholas of asking her to meet him in a  room in some filthy inn. You can imagine your handsome billionaire with that hustler..." Vivian cussed out...

"Welcome to Nairobi, where people always want cheap publicity. "Tamara shrugged, sipping her margarita peacefully...

"But...."
"Shut up Eve...I hate it when you get all sympathetic."Vivian cut me off.

"She was used to this lavish lifestyle only to lose it with a snap...."I defended.

"I  am glad she did. She was always acting like she owned the universe..." Vivian sneered.

"Viv you are sounding beefy. Did she also f*ck with Victor???"

"What the fuck Tamara???Just because you warned me about that jerk and I didn't listen to you, you are going to make me feel vulnerable...." Vivian rolled her eyes.

"You deserved to be cheated on because you were a fool in love..." Tamara thundered.

"You didn't deserve that Viv.No woman deserves to be cheated on. If he didn't want you no more, he would have just left..." I stated angrily.

"Men ain't sh*t. Look at you crying over that jerk who perhaps right now is wrapped in that Lucy's arms..."Tamara added.

"Really???"Amyra rolled her eyes on Tamara for being extremely brutal.
"Sorry she is still weak for the truth..." Tamara covered her mouth with her hand sounding apologetic which I was sure she wasn't...

"Just stop talking Tammie..."I suggested.
"Okay..."She lifted her hands in surrender.

"I am a fool in love I admit,"Tears dripped from Vivian's eyes,"I wanna be okay but am dying inside. You don't know how it feels to need someone who doesn't need you back.."

"You know what why don't we go to the bar and have some fun. Let's not focus on anything else but having fun..." I wiggled my eyebrows in excitement and both Amyra and Tamara nodded in agreement. 

As we walked into the bar,a loud deafening music greeted us. I could smell the combination of Liquor,cigarettes, leather and perfume.

"Let's get the party started..."Vivian screamed over the loud music pulling me to the bar counter.
"Let's see who can have the most tequila shots..."Vivian threw me a 'I challenge you' look and I knew it was game on.

We danced while drinking,letting the night flow away. After feeling we couldn't do it no more, we went back to the lobby.

"I think I am getting old, my feet are in pain..."Amyra cried out.
"Maybe it's time you realize you need the gym..." Tamara pointed out,fanning her face with her hand.
"Are you calling me fat???" 
"No but if you don't watch out you will  soon be. You starting to have flabby arms and a belly pot..."Tamara spoke out.

"Is it true Eve and Viv???"Amyra sent us a deadly glare warning us to watch what we say next.
"You don't look bad but you can look better..." I confessed.

"Do you agree with them Viv????" She asked in a hopeful tone...
"I shall not deny or confirm. I need to get wasted, let us order some more drinks on me..." Vivian beamed.

"I think you have had enough Viv..."I said in a commanding tone.
"Too bad I don't care,"She giggled. 
"Okay,knock yourself out. And personally I am not tolerating any bullshit tonight..."

"Tammie and Amy are here. I don't need you..."
"Watch what you say girl, I am not tolerating any bullsh*t tonight too..."Tamara spat out.

"Fine bitches sort yourselves out. I am a grown ass woman I can take care of myself..."

"Since when have you realized you are a grown ass woman???Few seconds ago..." Amyra sighed.
"Are you calling me immature????"Vivian almost shouted at her.

"You said it not me honey..."Amyra whispered and pulled some wipes from her purse,"I feel like my body is on fire.We should order one more round guys..."

"Suit yourself.."Tamara shrugged.

Amyra had just called onto the waiter when the main door suddenly opened.

Read " My only addiction " by the same author ( Fideh Mwangi )

. My jaw dropped open when I saw who it was. 

It was Lucy, Victor's new girlfriend. The three of us turned to look at Vivian as if we had been programmed whose eyes were glossy with tears.

I just hoped and prayed she wouldn't cause a scene since she gets chaotic when drunk but my prayers weren't answered.  

There she was blocking Lucy's way so close to her like she wanted to kiss her. 
"What now desperate bitch?????" 
"How dare you boyfriend snatcher!!!!" Vivian whipped her hand across Lucy's face,smacking it across her cheek.

I just knew it. Vivian has to embarrass herself whenever she is drunk. 
I turned my face to look at both Tamara and Amyra who shook their heads in disappointment. 

"You bitch, you will pay for this,"Lucy sneered while wiping the blood from her lip.

Lucy charged towards Vivian and  knocked both of them onto the floor.

Half of the crowd was chanting,"Fight!!!" while the rest was taking videos. For a second I felt like running out of there. I hated petty little drama. More so I didn't want my wig pulled out from my head.

"Eve let's do something..."Amyra whispered to me.
"I am not standing from this sofa.."

"Fine..." Amyra ran and hovered over Lucy trying to pull her off Vivian while Lucy got a few slaps in. 
"B*tch!!!!"
"Sl*t!!!"
"Wh*re!!!!"

Finally after a long struggle, Amyra managed to pull Lucy off and She screamed wiggling her tall legs to hit Vivian on the floor. 

Once Vivian got back up,she charged towards Lucy and pulled her hair..The next thing Lucy's wig was flying across the room.
"He is mine.."
"He is mine now!!!!"

"Aren't you going to stop the fight????"I asked Tamara.
"Are you!??!"
"No..."

We chuckled and looked over to Amyra whose face was red in rage.If looks could kill, we could have been dead by now.

After the waiter brought us two glasses of margarita, Tamara went ahead to show me photos of her new crush she has been talking about for ages on Instagram ignoring the fight Infront of us.

"He is so hot..." I commented.
" He is a private investigator, his name is Garry...."

"W....." Before I could comment on his biceps, we heard Amyra howling in pain.

We lifted our eyes only to see her groaning  on the floor. Instinctively we ran to help her up.
"You bitches can't even help????"
"We were serious about not getting involved in any bullshit today..."Tamara state in a firm voice...

Vivian and Lucy were still rolling each other on the floor when the security guards finally arrived. Where have they been???It has been like forever.

The security guards towered over them,yanked them by the arms and shoved them towards the entrance.

Just great, this is the third club she has been kicked out.

As good supportive friends, we grabbed our stuffs and followed them outside where they were still slurring insults on each other.

There were scratches on Lucy's face and a busted lip  while Vivian had  bruises on her neck and shoulders. Too bad she was wearing a black off shoulder bodycon dress.

"Ladies,that's enough for the day...You have embrassed yourselves a great deal..."I yelled.
"Stay out of this..."They both shouted in unison..

"I will not!!!! My driver is here to pick us up since none of us is in their right state of mind. So Viv are you coming or should he come for you later after you are done fighting over a man????"I asked with a straight face.

"Let's go, this girl isn't worth you..."Vivian cussed out.
"Say that to the people inside there who have taken a video of you acting desperate and needy..."Tamara snarled,sliding into the car.

"We will talk about this in the morning. Get in the car..."I ordered and held the door for Amyra and Vivian.

I just wanted to have some fun with my girls but as usual,Vivian had to ruin it..."
