After It Happened

Chapter 22: 21

Then she left us muttering something about children of nowadays and boyfriends. I glanced at Kelechi

and tried to stifle my laugh as our eyes met with a knowing look.

The party had already started which meant I had missed the part where they surprised Tobi's sister.

Bummer. The estate was quiet except from the loud music coming from the party. I hoped noone

complained

When we arrived, Tola welcomed us with a kiss on my lips and a nod in Kelechi's direction. He led us to

the living room where everyone was gathered. Tobi's sister managed to clean up really nicely and she

was looking so beautiful. Her smile was the brightest in the room as she sat among her friends on who

I assumed was her boyfriend's lap. We walked up to the little circle they had made in a corner.

"Tola, introduce us to your friend na", a light-skinned boy with braids said with a grin.

I heard that 'error'. Tola came with two friends, not one. I gave the boy a dirty look but he didn't seem to

notice.

"Uhm. This is my friend, Kelechi. And Denise, my girlfriend."

I smiled at his title for me. Yeah. Girlfriend.

"Denise, you know my sister already. That's her boyfriend, Calvin. The dark guy is David. The fair girl is

Onyinye. This one in braids is Tosin. And that's Shade."

"Hey. Happy birthday Trish." I said giving Tola's sister a small hug.

"Welcome. I haven't seen you in a long time and you haven't texted me since. Shey you've forgotten

me. Or did Tola tell you to stop gisting me", Trisha said with an accusatory glance at her brother.

"Oh no no. I've just been busy with everything na. JAMB and WAEC." I said saving Tola who looked

like a deer caught in headlights from his sisters glare.

Those two loved each other to pieces. They also loved arguing or should I say fighting. Their fights are

so funny though. I was blessed with a chance to see one and I was so tempted to make a video. Well, I

made a video, but Trish had forced me to delete it. That girl's sweetness is just deceiving. She can be

really scary.

"And who is this fine boy that you haven't told me about eh Tola? You have started hiding things from

me na."

"I've mentioned him before na. He's the one that joined us this term."

"But you didn't tell me he was this fine na", Trish whined earning a frown from her boyfriend and a

blush from Kelechi. The girl was just something else.

"Don't frown at me jare. Can't I appreciate fine thing again? You think I don't see you looking at those

girls?"

Oh, did I forget to say that the girl has no filter?

Before another argument would start, Tobi interrupted.

"So what of the game?"

"Yes, it's true. Which game are we playing now?" Shade piped up.

"Spin the bottle. Or never have I ever," Trish said excitedly.

"I vote spin the bottle," Tosin had a mischievous gleam in his eyes.

"Stop looking for how you will kiss somebody's girlfriend." The boy who Tola called David had an

expressionless look. Like he didn't want to be there.

"You know me so well." Tosin replied with a grin.

"Let's just play Truth or Dare."

After everyone agreed that Truth or Dare was the best choice, Tosin called every other person in the

room who was interested to join the rest of us for the game.

We all formed a large circle in the center of the room.

"So you guys know the rules to this game. I'm going to twist the rules a little bit. It's going to be two

truths, then a dare. What this means is that three truths can't be played consecutively. Then for the

wusses, any date or truth that isn't carried out earns a shot of this concoction," he raises a bottle of a

translucent liquid up for everyone to see.

"Uhm so what did I put in here again? Vodka, whiskey, lime, and other stuff I can't remember. End point

is you wouldn't want to take this. I won't be responsible for any reaction you get from the mixture. So,

now all has been said, let's begin." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I smiled as I took a sip from my drink. Things were about to get interesting. And yes, the drink contains

alcohol. What's a college party without a little alcohol in your system?

I laughed at Tola's embarrassment when he was told to remove his shirt and let a pretty girl with an

eyebrow piercing lick his bare chest. I swear all those college girls were drooling over my boyfriend.

Trish was told to give Calvin a hickey. And she seemed too eager to do just that.

I felt really hyper and wobbly. How many drinks have I had again? Four? Five? Can't remember.

Suddenly I'm looking at the bottle pointing at me.

"Denise. Guess it's your turn. Truth or Dare baby." Tosin said with a grin.

"Oh"
