Amber finished taking her bath, she walked into the room and meet her phone ringing. She picked it up and answered the call.
“Hey, what’s up? I’m sorry I didn’t pick up your calls, I was busy.” Kim said. “Alright, so why did you call now?”
“Hey, com’on. Drop that attitude please. How are you doing?”
“I’m good, and you.” Amber replied. “I’m fine, just missing you.” Kim replied. “Same here, it’s been a stressful day for me.”
“Are you okay? Are you pregnant?” Kim asked, smiling. “Oh, please. How can I be pregnant? It’s not possible.”
“Wh@ťěver! Uhm, there’s this party going on tonight.
Wait, that’s why you called, right?” Amber asked. “No, Amber. Com’on you’re my friend, my best friend. Okay I’m sorry, okay.”
“Chill, I was just kidding.” She replied, smiling. “Thank goodness, so are you coming?”
“Yeah..”
Kunle also received the same call from his friend, he promised to be there.
°°°°°°°°
6PM
They dressed up for the party, Kunle stood by the car waiting for her. It has been 5 minutes since she said that, she’s done with everything. “Why’s she taking much time?”
He brought out his phone, he was about to call her, when she came out. She walked to the car and got into the car. Kunle hopped in and glanced at her. “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” She replied. “Alright.” He muttered and drove out of the house. They arrived at the place, filled with a lot of people in and out, Kunle came down to open the door, before he could get there she has already opened the door and got down, she shut it.
“You look so beautiful.” He said, smiling. “Thanks..” She replied and suddenly Kim walked in. “Hey babe..” Kim said and kissed her cheek.
“How are you doing?” She asked. “I’m good.” Amber replied.
“Hi, Kunle. You guys should come in please, anything you want is here. Whiskey, vodka, wine, champagne.” She said, glaring at Amber.
“Uhm, whiskey.” Amber said. “Don’t get yourself drunk.” Kunle said. “I’m not a kid.” Amber replied, Kim looked at her and bite her lips, she held her arm and they walked out. On there way, they met Femi.
“Kunle’s here.” She said. “Alright, take care.” He said and kissed her lips. Amber smiled and waved at him.
“Hey, here’s what you requested for.” Kim said and gave her the glass filled with whiskey.
“Can I get the bottle? I’m not satisfied yet.” Amber said as she glued down everything in the glass, leaving Kim in surprise.
“Well, the Amber I know doesn’t take much alcohol.” Kim said, staring at her. “Are you giving me or not?” Amber asked.
Kim couldn’t say no to her, she ordered for a bottle of whiskey. Kim was the one pouring out the drink.
“I need more, don’t worry I will be fine. I’m not a kid, I just want to feel like an adult. I want to let go of my past.”
“Are you sure, that you’ll be okay?” Kim asked. “Yeah, bestie. Trust me, I’m good.” Amber replied and stood up turning around to show her that she’s okay. “Okay, but I have to go with this bottle.”
“Just leave it, there for me. Please.” She pleaded, Kim nodded and excused herself as her phone rang, she went to pick up the call on coming back to the spot Amber was sitting, she didn’t find her there. She called Kunle’s attention, he came in and started looking for her.
He went into the crowd, where boys and girls were dancing. He bumped into some random people kissing and smooching. He ran his hands on his hair, frustrated.
His mind clicked on the restroom, he went there but didn’t find her. “Amber, please don’t do anything. Where the hell are you?”
Kim on the other side was looking for her, Kunle met her and asked her if there’s any positive response, but non.
“But she was there with you?” Kunle asked, Femi walked in, sweating. “Yes, she was there, when I left to answer a call.”
“What do we do? Such thing has never happened before.” Femi said, worriedly.
“Don’t worry I will find her, I will be right back.” Kunle replied and walked out, Kim and Femi spread up to look for her.
Amber sat down, staring at an empty space, drinking from the bottle. She smiled and sighed softly.
“Life is been unfair. I don’t want to fall in love.”
“You will definitely fall for him, Amber.” Her inner mind said. She sighed softly and mumbled, “No..I don’t want to.”
“I will make you, trust me. It won’t be like that ungrateful soul, Tayo.” Her inner mind said. She chuckled, “Why are you talking about him? I I don’t to hear anything him.”
She continue staring at the stars and moon, and then drink from the bottle. Kunle sighted her from a far distance, he walked faster and collected the bottle from her.
“Hey, watch it. You’ve got no respect for a woman?” She yelled at him. He chuckled, while staring at her face. He drank from the bottle and sat close to her, she tried to leave the seat, he stopped her.
“You’re drunk.” He said, looking away. “Hey, I’m not drunk.” She rasped. He chuckled and nodded.
“So, why did you come out here, drinking alone?” He asked. “Nothing, I just came out for the fresh air, it’s necessary.” She replied, he nodded and drink from the bottle again, she looked at him and tried to collect the bottle but he refused.
“That’s mine. You’ve no right to take it.” She said, drunkenly. “But it’s mine, go look for yours.”
“Ashh…” She muttered, looking directly into his eyes. He smiled and kissed her lips, slightly.
“Pervert.” She muttered. “Com’on, let’s go home.” He said. “I still wanna have fun..” She replied.
“You’re drunk, next time you will have fun.” He said. She stood by, he tried to her. “I’m fine, I can walk.” She said and rubbed her eyes, slowly.
“Yeah, I’m with her.” Kunle said to Kim. “Alright, thank goodness. I was worried. How’s she doing?”
“Uhm, she’s drunk but not to….I’m not drunk.” Amber yelled, Kim chuckled as she heard her voice.
“We gotta go home, thanks.” He said and hang up. He carried her to his car, he met Femi and Kim there. Kim opened the door for him to keep her in the car, he fixed the seat belt.
“I tried to talk to her, about the alcohol. She…I know, I’ve seen her, I know how she behaves.” Kunle said, she nodded.
“I gotta go, Femi we’ll see tomorrow.” Kunle said as they half hugged. He went to the car. He hopped into the car and drove off.
An HOUR LATER
They arrived at the house, he carried her out of the car to his room. As soon as he arrived in his room, she threw up. “Oh goodness, Amber. Why would you do that?” He asked her, she mumbled words that he couldn’t hear.
He lay her on the couch and luckily Sandra was still in the house, he called her and asked her to take care of her. The only thing he did was to carry her to the bathroom.
She bathed her and covered her with the towel. Kunle carried her back to the room and laid her on his bed, he covered her with the duvet and left as she was sleeping.
He thanked the maid and she left.
Some minutes later, he came to his room and removed his clothes. He walked into the bathroom.
After freshen up, he returned back to his room and grabbed his clothes. He wore it and sat on the couch, pressing his phone.
°°°°°°
Next morning, Amber’s loud screaming was heard in the whole house, Kunle who was in the living room came running. Thinking that something bad had happened, walked into the room only to see her on towel.
Actually, she find out that she was naked and possibly tied up the towel she found on the bed.
She walked up to him, “What did you do to me? Please don’t tell me that you did it? Why would you do it? Why would you sleep with me?” She threw questions at him, he chuckled. She wasn’t finding it funny.
“What’s funny? It’s not funny.” She muttered. “Wait, you think if I had gone to that place, I mean down there, you will stand up and talk to me?”
She gasped and battled with her lashes, “What’s he talking about?” She thought.
“If I had gone there, you will be laying down there on my bed. Still sleeping.” He replied.
“So who took off my clothes? If not you, who did it? You have been looking for a way to stare at my nàked body.” She stammered, looking away.
He walked closer to her, while she stepped back. “Then let me see it, your nàked body..” He whispered and raised his hand. “Don’t even think of touching me.” She said and was about to leave, he held her hand and pulled her to his chest.
“I just touched you.” He muttered and stroking her hair behind her ear. She couldn’t stop staring at him. She swallowed hard and then walked into his bathroom, he smiled.
“I thought she would slapped me, for touching her.” He thought and smiled. “I can’t believe, she thinks I’d go down there without her knowledge. That’s the saddest thing to do.”
