The club night was still going well and had been very much worth the effort required to get dressed for it. Cindy had been having fun in there, the soft blue glow giving her light complexion an ethereal quality.
“Jane, what are you doing here? Who brought you here? I mean, how did you find yourself here?” Lisa asked in one breath.
I was dumbfounded and didn’t know what to say to Lisa. Our eyes were simply locked in contact.
“How did you know I’d be here? Do you attend all parties? I responded with a query.”
“Oh! I see. This is why you have been ignoring me all this while.”
“Well, not actually my fault, you blocked me while was still begging you. And you literally did because you couldn’t hear me out.”
“Yes, I did out of annoyance. You know I was upset then and I couldn’t contain it…”
“Well, that’s bygone,” I interrupted.
“You are now a big girl. Who brought you here? How about Kelvin?”
“Kelvin? When last did you visit our shop? Well, I have moved on and…”
“What do you mean by you have moved on? Moved on with who?” she cuts in, her eyes widened.
“She has moved on with me,” Lisa suddenly said from behind. The music was almost alive in her senses, playing on her synapses, making her slowly writhe as she stood and staggered, swaying to the beat of the club.
Oh! Cyndy, it’s you who snatched Jane away? You daughter of the devil,” Lisa yelled.
Daughter of what? I mean, what did I just hear her say?
“You know her?” I turned to Lisa who looked upset at seeing Cyndy.
“Don’t you dare call me names!” Cyndy thundered.
“That’s exactly what you are! You mustn’t entangle everyone with your ill spirit.”
“You are very funny but I won’t exchange words with a loser like you,” Cyndy replied.
“I can see you already bewitched her. She doesn’t seem to be in her right frame of mood anymore.”
The way the duo exchanged words, I could tell they knew each other and that made it interesting. Their voices would have caused a scene but the beat of the club defeated their voices. It would have been a scene to watch but people inside barely knew what was going on. I was worried and got more confused about what proceeded out of Lisa’s mouth. She was ranging in anger but Cyndy seemed a bit drunk and yet responded to Lisa.
At the same time, I couldn’t still believe they were fighting over me just the same way women fight over a man after their heart. What then could be so special about me?
The music gradually faded out. The DJ returned with a short after—commentary.
“I guess this is the Lisa you wanted to talk about,” Cyndy turned in my direction.
I simply nodded my head in affirmation. I didn’t know what else to say to the duo.
And suddenly the music finally stopped. One of the people running the party called for everyone’s attention:
“Hello ladies, can I have your attention? We are going to start the party back in a second and the bar will be setting up drinks too and other things. However, we are not going to order a pizza because I just received a call that there’s going to be a set of fundamentalists protesting our party and they are close by. We can’t involve the police because this is not an emergency and doesn’t concern society. You all know that society at large frowns on our acts. So the good news is that we are going to hold the party longer and perhaps all night. And that will give you more opportunities to meet new people, so have fun.
Also, I want to let everyone know that if you had to get up early for work tomorrow or something in those regards, then you can as well leave now. We are not sure how extreme these people are. They seemed like the biggest h@ťě mongers to focus against the LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisegzual Transgender) communities. We also have people supervising everything and if worse come to worse, this place has a steel shelter with monitors, so you’ll be safe, thank you.”
The music comes back on.
Lisa had gone to a corner after being verbally abused by Cyndy who seemed to be crueler with words.
Meanwhile, Cyndy seemed to be having a good time, having a couple of drinks with some women she met. But Lisa seemed depressed from the whole drama.
She looked around and decided to sit in a quiet area near a window and look up at the peaceful night sky with all the stars and a big full moon up there. I kinda felt for Lisa. I knew she truly care about me and wanted me so dearly. She had long fallen in line with my body. But I dare not step out from where I was. Cyndy would surely not take any silly action from me and she already seemed mysterious and more like a possessed fellow. And just like Lisa said, she seemed to have bewitched me.

Suddenly, two cars parked outside. I noticed Lisa’s eyes widened with a smile that was perhaps not her soulmate or anything but maybe at least someone she could dance with and have fun with before the night was over. But sadly, it wasn’t women coming out of those cars, but rather some men in suits. They started lighting their torches and what seemed like a weapon. My heart skipped a beat. I wasn’t sure if it was the people they talked about and maybe they were just security men or some set of harmless people. And the last thing I wanted to do was offend someone just to save the risk of my own life. If I couldn’t have fun at the party, I didn’t want to ruin it for everyone.
Unexpectedly, a dark figure was close enough to grab me but I already took on my heels. I didn’t scream and couldn’t see a thing as I heard people screaming and voices of fear. I was still running and suddenly I noticed Cyndy was standing before me and when I looked back I didn’t see anyone else.
“What’s wrong with you? She yelled. Do you realize that one of those b*stards could have gotten hold of you?”
Tears already formed in my eyes and my heart was pounding faster.
“I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t have come out with you. Coming out here seems like danger.”
Cyndy’s friends came to hug me. “Jane is okay. We are glad you’re safe.” I looked up at them and wiped my tears.
“But you should have joined us since you heard the announcement. Everyone was being careful and that’s why we were in here.”
But wait, how did Cyndy suddenly come to my rescue? Everything happened so fast. That was the question that rushed through my head. And just as if she read my mind, she quickly said, “With all this crazy $h|t happening in, I had to stay in here to keep an eye on things and when I saw you in danger, I knew that I needed to take action right then and otherwise, I would regret it for the rest of my life.”
Then, a megaphone was heard from outside.
“We are not going to hurt you. We do not have weapons that will hurt you. God just wants us to scare you and think twice about your life. We just need about two people battling with the spirit of same-segz affairs to come out so we can tell you what God’s plan for you is and if you change, he might change his mind on judgment day.”
Cindy grabbed Kate, a girl by her side. “We will go,” she said. The girl gasped in fear.
“Cyndy if you go, then you would risk getting ki||ed, hurt, or abused, or worse, kidnapped,” a concerned girl said.
“No! These people ain’t what y’all think they are.”
“Who are they?” Kate turned in her direction.
“Some sort of perverts looking for women to defile. But you know fear is stupid. It stops you from what you want out of life. So if we fear the dumbest things, then I’m going out there with Kate and we’ll face our fear together.
Cyndy and Kate walked out the door and the rest of us couldn’t help but watch from a safe distance. What a night it has been.
