South Road was slowly recovering from its shock, the street was springing with life again. This was what Annas missed, he was glad it was burbling again.
Benjamin and his dad had been having series of meetings with the police for days now, he knew they had persuaded the police to drop the case, but he lacked other knowledge about their dealings with the police.

  Caring less about the situation and his friends company had made him possess his jocund life again. They welcomed him back from prison with a treat at Eatery delite, he felt special and blessed to have friends that cared.
They knew about the happenings in his home but they only wished his family well, that was all, he wanted no sympathy from anyone, it was better if they cared less.

Life was back to normal, he found solace playing basketball with his friends . He also had good time with them at Eatery delite, it had always been their best spot.

He had been having more night pleasures lately; meeting girls at the Brilla hotel. Their bar had been where he spent his time lately; sipping scotch, peering through the crowd, hopefully to meet new ladies who wanted sex. When some resisted his cravings, he put on his flirtatious charms, backing it up with his sweet and seductive words.

 His girlfriends were like company to him, he only needed them when he was in need of them.
 He skimmed through his phone, searching for a familiar contact. He saved his ladies numbers according to their sex abilities; Bluequeen frolicked like a bull, but she wasn't romantic to his taste

. Unicorn was the shy type, she was magical in ways his other mistress could not possess. Tigress was all entirely, she was hard, strong, her m*aning during s*x was amusing to his ears, it was like a bawdy tune, very entertaining. She also knew where to arouse him better. He tapped his left thumb finger on her contact, dialling it.

Brilla was as g*y as ever, with a live band that seemed appealing to his ears. People were much in the bar, forgetting what had happened weeks ago, this was where he loved.

 He was seated on an exquisite wooden chair, in a forlorn space, sipping his scotch, he knew his alcohol limit and would not like to get drunk, he hated being drunk, he knew the consequences.

He aborted the call when his eyes travelled to a lady at the bar, she was ordering a drink. He had found his night's pleasure, she was everything he wanted now, nothing could stop him.
She wa a slim mistress, curves and hips were meticulously carved by her creator. She met his gaze. The lady walked out of the counter after she was being served, coming Annas's way, with a glass cup in her left hands. She was clothed in a violet tank top, ripped short jeans and a high boots, her calves were indeed awesome. She swaggered elegantly like a model.

" An elegant hair you got, handsome." the lady said, when she finally came to Annas. Annas hair had a new look, it was braided.

"You speak of elegance, when it is obvious that you are more stunning." Annas said, with his cool and seductive tune.

"Awwwnn.. As I expected, you have a way with words, that's sweet."

"Come seat, don't let those heels of yours to bleed." Annas said, still maintaining his seductive tone, staring into her prying eyes.

She glued her butt on the seat opposite Annas, dropping her drink on the table between them. Annas knew what was next and he was patient enough to use his mouth longer than was necessary, praying to stop so he could be inside her. Sweet and dirty words after words, he played his chess like a pro, he sensed she was already feeling antsy inside.

Annas snapped out of his seat, hands against the table, lowering his tall body so he could whisper to the lady whose name was Chichi. He pressed his lips against her ear when he was done, she rose up abruptly, caressing his shoulder with her delicate hands. He grabbed her up like he wasn't lifting a human, pressing her fluffy butt with his firm hands. She clasped her legs around his waist, tightening them, her hands were locked around his neck.
 He felt a soft brush of flesh on his lips; she was into him, eating his lips with passion. He pulled his lips out of hers, making her crave for more kisses. He dropped her down, walking away slowly, she followed like she was hypnotized.

 Their destination was certainly not planned, but they were moving away from the bar. Moving to get wet all over, he smiled at the thought.

Annas was living a lecherous life, he knew it. He went on with different girls at Brilla, some days it was Chichi; who confessed her love for him after their breathtaking s*x. She confessed he was ideally the man for her, they had more closed door meetings whenever she stopped at the bar.

Eatery delite was not on his list for now but his friends invited him over, they rarely see him these days, he only appeared for basketball games, and it was seldom these days.

"Man you are sticking with us now, whatever it is we are still your friends." Said Marshal, a short young man, who was a pro at basketball. 

Eatery delite had an orange dramatic chandelier, with enormous glass windows, its captain chairs were exotic. Annas and his friends were at the window seat, their favorite spot. 

They were all waiting for his reply, carefully studying him. He had to tell them something, anything could suffice.
 Marshal never broke his gaze. They were all waiting; Anita, Bernard, Maleek, and Omachi.

Anita was very dear to the clique, chubby in an attractive sort of way, with a subtle beauty. Annas could never date a friend, he would respect their friendship, she was a beauty he could never exploit.

Bernard was tall but not taller than Annas. He had a stunning slim figure. His gold spiky hair was a plus to his existing beauty, blending well with his attractive face. 

Maleek had a baby face but had beard that made him looked older, he dreamt of becoming the next sensation in the music industry; hence, his investment on expensive clothes to look good all the time. He was on a Louis Vuitton leather jacket, with a fancy sun-glasses that hid his tiny eyes.

Omachi had a serious face, he seemed intimidating to folks that rarely knew him, that was all they thought, but he was simple. He was the biggest in the clique but not taller than Annas.  

"Nothing pressing guys, I just found a new girl, and we have been hanging out at the Brilla these days." Annas managed to say, praying it would be a genuine reason for boycotting his friends.

He was glad he had friends that cared for him. They had been friends way back from primary school, maybe earlier, he never knew when. They all went to the university together, clinging to their love for Basketball that had made their friendship waxed stronger.

"A new girl?!, you have like three already." Anita said in disgust.

"Guess you are keeping records of his ladies, you could be a nice P.A... Don't you think so Nitty?" Teased Maleek.

"Nitty, he is right. You could give it a try - managing his love life for him can be great." Bernard contributed.

"Am not surprised, you all are assholes." She spat back.

"You are as well, you just broke up with two boys only this month, I wonder whose poor boy is next." said Maleek, with a sorry look; probably for the next man she would break up with.

"Aren't we assholes again?, you are quiet love." said Bernard, who noticed her silence.

"Oh!, You think it got to me? - Far from it, am just keeping my cool." she said. Omachi sniggered. Anita glared at him with a cruel look, he just shuddered and went mute.

"Annas glad to have you back, give us more time. We are friends, friends stick together." Marshal said, ignoring the others.

"Sorry friends, i promise to be around now. The girl is into me, I just want to feed her more before I call it off." said Annas.

"Good for you, just pray you don't meet one that will not take your bullshits." Anita advised. She glared at Omachi, hoping to see his reaction this time, he only gave a shrug.

"I pray so, but do they exist?" Asked Bernard.

"Yes they do, but they're rare, but they exist." Omachi answered, patronizing Anita.

A waitress appeared, clutching a menu in her left hands.
She had an oval shaped face, she wore an orange v-neck t-shirt, Eatery delite was printed on her breast pocket. Annas gaze lingered at the breast, admiring them with lust. She had every endowment that Annas ever wished for from a lady - if it's ever possible. Whenever Annas satisfies his cravings he scouts for another meal, he dreaded tasting a single meal for longer, it becomes useless.

 He craned his gaze, watching her butt with lust. What a great meal she will be, he thought. He snapped out of it before she noticed.

Anita noticed, she had that cruel look again. What's wrong with her, i was only admiring, he thought.

"Good afternoon, please what should I offer you?" The waitress said politely.

"You are new here." Said Annas.

"Yes I am. I have been here for like a week now." She answered.

She was shy, Annas noticed. "But I have not been seeing you."

"You rarely come here these days." Anita chimed in. " You are kind of busy, busy with...."

"With business - yes business." Annas interrupted, knowing her plans. She wouldn't dare Spoil this one for him. 

The boys were battling with a laughter that seemed too powerful to duel, fortunately they prevailed.

"Grilled chicken, please..." Omachi managed, he had done a good work at resisting the urge to laugh. 

The others mimmicked his request save Anita, who ordered for hamburger.
  They all watched as she left, when she was out of earshot they guffawed, pouring their laughter. Anita was quiet, feeling irritated at them. It was a laughter they kept away from the waitress, they did their best at disguising their laughter, but as she went away, they poured it all out. Annas only shook his head, smiling.

"Well-done Nitty, you want to spoil it, but you can't." said Annas 

"Well watch me, you don't date girls that you see always, we do spend lots of time here, and she becomes useless when you see her all the time - leave her alone!" Anita purred.

"Come on, Nitty, he never said he will date her." Marshal said, defending Annas.

"Rubbish! date, flirt, side chick, blah blah blah... it's all the same." Said Anita.

"And we haven't decided who will go for the girl yet. Or have we?" Bernard contributed.

"We haven't... Nice!, so we have to select, we have to spin a bottle on this one as well." said Maleek, nodding at the idea.


She appeared again, dropping their meals. Annas taste buds slapped when he saw the grilled chicken mixed with dilled cucumber and tomato salad, the smell made his tongue watery. He licked his lips, rubbing his hands together. The food must be consumed before he start drooling.

"Please swiddy, get us a bottle of Hennessy - not the big one, bring the small one." said Maleek, Annas knew what he would use the empty bottle for.

"Okay, I will." she said politely as before. She was shy, Annas wondered why a girl this pretty could be this shy. She is too pretty, Annas thought.

"I will have a coke , Vanessa?....." Annas blurted out, trying to know her name.

"It's Becky." she corrected him, Annas saw her smile. She was smiling at him - only him, he hoped.
  He watched her every footsteps. When she was out of view, he started with his chicken.

"You all might win once the bottle points to you, but to win her heart is a different phase." Said Omachi, who wasn't awed at the waitress's beauty like the others.

"We will get to know. let's just spin the bottle first." Said Maleek, he was impatient.

 Annas wished to win this, he must have her, they should just step down for him, he knew it was a selfish thought.

She returned with a tray, dropping the Coke, Hennessy, and tumbler glasses carefully on the table. She strode out immediately she was done.

"What's wrong with her? is like she can't breathe after seeing three handsome men." Said Bernard.

"We're not three!" Marshal retorted. Annas knew Bernard well, he excluded Marshal and Omachi out of the attractive picture.

"Leave him Marsh, jerks will always cut out some persons because they are scared. Bern, Marsh and I will never be in such tourn for girls, we're above that." Said Omachi. Anita Chuckled.

"Boys will always be what nature chose them to be." Anita managed to say, still chuckling.


"And what is that?" Maleek asked

"Beast of course!." She answered, with a smirk. Maleek ignored her, he poured the drink into the empty tumbler glasses for the group, save Annas who was contented with his coke. Marshal swallowed the remaining sweet liquid into his mouth, dropping the bottle on the table; it made a thack sound when it touched the table.

"Shove all those things out, let's spin!" Maleek ordered. They created a little space on the table, where the bottle would swirl freely.

"You will be bias, pass the bottle to Marshal, he will be accurate when he spins." Annas suggested, not trusting Maleek.

"He is right, give it to him." Bernard supported. 

"Okay..." Maleek stretched the bottle to Marshal.

Marshal was obstinate at first, but with their plea, he gave in. He spinned the bottle cautiously, it was spinning like a merry go round, slowly, the force decreased with time. All eyes was on the bottle, they all watched as it was twirling, watching with keen interest, even Anita, and Omachi and Marshal. It was slower this time, the tip pointed to Marshal when it stopped.

"Sliiith!" Maleek Muttered.

"Looks like he is interested in the girl." Bernard teased.

"Come on... You know am not,  I will spin it again." Said Marshal, picking up the bottle.

"No need for that." Said Omachi, Annas was wondering what thought was inside Omachi's skull. "We should choose who it will be amongst you three." 

"Great idea Oms, at least they will know that I am not bias." Said Marshal 

"You all are jerks, I swear." Anita snapped, she turned her face, staring at the street through the window. What thought she was harbouring, they would definitely not know, now she cared less. They ignored her, feeling too excited to answer her.

The boys talked about the reasonable solution, they listened as Omachi gave his opinion. Marshal and Omachi would choose who will be worthy to get the girl. They decided it would be Maleek. Annas lost the vote, as much as he craved for her, he dare not do anything funny at their backs. He obeyed his friends, friends are family as well. 

 A waiter appeared, picking the plates. Annas wondered why the girl didn't come this time, he dared not ask the waiter, she wasn't his to exploit, those powers had been given to Maleek.

"Thomas, please where is the new waitress?" Maleek asked. not fair,why is he feeling like he already has her, he hasn't even started, Annas thought.

"Why do you ask?" Thomas, the waiter asked.

"Tom, come on, I'm just asking, that's all." Maleek said, Annas wondered why he was this impatient.

"Maleek, hope she is not in your list, that girl is different, not a girl you can dump just for dumping sake." Thomas advised.

"Who is dumping who here, that's silly. Tell me, where is she?" Maleek persisted 

"Tom, don't answer him again, aren't you tired of his questions." Anita quipped in.

"Anita, I am." Thomas said, he cleared all the plates.

"Leave the Hennessy bottle Tom, we will be needing it." Said Marshal, Tom obeyed, he knew what they wanted to do, it had always been their tradition; spinning the bottle after their meals came with tension, if the tip of the bottle points to anyone amongst them, the chosen one would be given the burden to pay the bills.

Tom spinned the empty Hennessy bottle for them, he spinned cautiously so that the bottle would move around freely on the table. The tip of the bottle pointed to Anita. People watched them. wearing a weird look.

"Nitty, you will have to pay for the meal again." Said Omachi.

"Annas... This is her third time this week." Marshal whispered to Annas.

"Nitty, brace up, I think you should always cheer up when we make our assholes decision, maybe that's why it always points to you." Maleek teased, grinning at her.

"He is right Nitty, just play along even if you don't like our decisions, with that the Lord of bottles will turn it's fingers to one of us next time." Bernard contributed, supporting Maleek, they all laughed at her.

"Jerks!." She muttered. Stretching her master card to Thomas, He received it, slotting it into the POS device.

"Press your pin" Said Thomas, giving her the device, she punched the soft buttons with her fingers.

"Here," She threw it to Thomas

"Hope he got the right expenses, Nitty ask him." Maleek teased. She ignored him.

"Done!" Thomas muttered to himself, tearing out a slip from the device, Bernard snatched the slip.

"Nitty, I will keep the receipt, am your P.A, from now on I promise to manage your love life, and of course your account." Bernard teased, they all laughed.

His friends meant everything to him, they shared everything together, joked together, and quarrelled together. They were also plagued with minor conflicts; not withstanding they had always stood firm to abate any conflicts that could cripple their friendship. His friends were also his family. He wouldn't leave them for anything in this world.

"Sweetheart, but, but we were doing fine. What's wrong? I can't leave you now."

"But I will. Listen Chichi, you are only a one night stand, I enjoyed every bit of it, but I don't keep girls, you can find that with a different guy, not me. Am doing you good, go find a guy who loves you, not one who loves that flavour between your thigh." Annas replied. 

They were in an exquisite suite in Brilla hotel, he sneaked out from his friends to do it with her for the last time before he quit.

"That's one thing I love about you, your sweet words. I do love you." She pleaded.

"And I don't. Now leave!" He commanded, She quaked with fright, watching him. Annas noticed a sorrowful look written all over her face. She dashed out of the room, sobbing loudly.

"You will wish you didn't do this Annas." she cursed, slamming the door, Annas heard her crying outside, it slowly faded..

Annas felt relieved, he jumped onto the bed, resting his head on his hands, staring at the ceiling, he had started missing her already, but he had to let her go, it was all that mattered.
