Queen and Asha took hours to dress and make up
their face. They had a dinner at Sheraton Hotel to
attend with their sugar daddies and they knew
that it was an opportunity for them to attract
other richer men.
Queen: “Babe how far with my eye brow” she
asked Asha who was busy applying her face
primer.
Asha: “It is nice, just use your concealer to
sharpen it a little” she replied.
Mercy was in a corner of the room studying; she
had trained up herself to study irrespective of the
distractions by the girls. She would have loved to
go to school to study in the evenings but she
couldn’t afford the transportation fare.
Asha: “Mercy, abeg where that my black Marks
and Spencer bra?”
Mercy: “I washed it yesterday, it is not dry yet”
she replied not looking up from the hand out she
was reading.
Asha: “ooooh, why did you choose to wash it
today now? Didn’t you know that I would need it
this evening?”
Mercy: “I saw it in the laundry basket so I
assumed that it was dirty” ever since she started
living with the girls, she would wash their undies
because the girls were too lazy to wash it
themselves after giving out their clothes to the
laundry man down their street.
Queen: “Mercy sha, won’t you ask before you
wash something? Na so to dey wash dey sweet
you? Shuu”
Mercy: “I would have asked but you girls didn’t
sleep at home yesterday, I had to wash it early
this morning so that it would get dried before you
come back. I didn’t know that today was going to
be a rainy day” she explained.
Asha: “Okay o, madam explanation. Abeg help me
look for another bra among my things make I
wear”
Mercy got up reluctantly. She knew that the only
time she could have time for herself was when the
girls had gone out.
Queen: “And me too o, help me check that my big
box, under it I have a pack of new pants there.
Help me bring out the black j-string in it” she said
moving to pick her phone from where she was
charging it.
Asha: “Babe, you wan wear pant under the Kim
Kardashian dress?”
Queen: “Yes or what do you think?”
asha: “I think you should not wear any pant. I
won’t wear any too. You know how sexy it is
when you wear a tight dress without panties
under it. Besides, who knows, you may hit a jack
pot and panties can slow down quickie process”
she said in a code language that they thought
Mercy would not understand.
Queen: “That is true o. Ah, this girl your head dey
there. You are so smart, I don’t know why you
don’t know book sha” she teased.
Asha: “See who is talking? You too do you know
book? All of us are odes when it comes to book.
The only thing we know how to do is handle men.
You know now”
The two girls smiled.
Asha: “maybe we should take Mercy along with us
to the dinner. What do you think?”
Queen: “I think it is a nice idea but you know her
now, she would prefer to sit at home or sleep”
Asha: “Mercy, we are going out with you today o”
she said to the girl who was busy searching for
what they had asked her to get for them.
Mercy: “eh?”
Asha: “I said we are going out with you today. In
fact, let me come and look for a dress for you.
Shey you know that you are a very fine girl? You
are just here wasting your ukwu and boobs, allow
us to package you and make you up and you will
be surprised at the image you will see in the
mirror”
Mercy: “Sorry o but I am not interested” she said
and resumed her chat.
Queen: “What exactly is it that you are not
interested in? Is it a sin for you to follow me out?
Remember that I am your cousin o”
Mercy: “I cannot go out o, I want to stay back
and read. I have a course to write on Monday”
Asha: “That is no excuse. We are also writing the
same course at the same time with you so what
are you saying?”
Mercy: “okay, I know that you are attending the
parties with men after which you will go to their
various hotel rooms with them. I don’t want that”
Queen: “so what is wrong with that?”
Mercy: “Everything is wrong with it. As a single
lady, you are not supposed to indulge in any act
of fornication. Do you know that some of these
men are married? Now think of the agonies that
your going out with them will cause their wives.
Will you be happy if you get married and another
woman keeps your husband away from you all
night? What goes around comes around” she
said.
Asha: “There she goes. Preach on, virgin Mary.
Queen, I give up on this your cousin. Her matter
tire me. I have never seen where a girl is this
dumb in this our generation. The most painful
thing is that she is beautiful, see enough front
and back”
Queen: “don’t mind the silly thing. She doesn’t
know that this is the right time for us to enjoy
ourselves. If we don’t enjoy men now, is it when
we get married that we will enjoy? So at this age
you still think that going out with married men
will make your own husband to cheat on you
when you are married, don’t you know it is in
men’s DNA to cheat on their wives? My sister,
receive sense” she threw at Mercy.
After they had finished dressing, they stood up to
leave.
Mercy: “Ah-ah, are you people going out like
this?” she asked with awe in her eyes.
“Yes, don’t we look good?” the two friends
chorused simultaneously and looked at each
other.
Mercy: “no now, this dress is too revealing. I can
see your inner wears and your thighs and boobs
are exposed. Haba, now”
Queen: “Mercy, mind yourself o. It’s like you are
pushing me to the wall just to see my reaction
right? You won’t like it o, I am warning you, toh”
Mercy: “I am sorry. It’s just that my conscience
will not let me be if I don’t say the truth.
Queen: “Sorry for yourself o, anyway, make sure
you lock the door before you sleep. We are not
coming back this night”
Asha: “Queen abeg let us go, we are already
running late. This your cousin can so spoil
somebody’s mood. If not for the house maid
chores that she is doing for us, we would have
thrown her out this minute. Mumu girl”
Queen: “No vex na, after all she has apologized.
Your blood too dey hot, any how it is, she is my
cousin and I have no choice than to tolerate her
excesses”
Mercy: “Queen, erm…er…” she said twitching her
fingers.
Queen: “Talk jor! What is it? We are already
running late”
Mercy: “I wanted to say that gas has finished
and there is no cooked food in the house. Since
you won’t come back today…”
Queen: “Okay, I get the gist, no need for too much
English. Check that my red Chanel bag, there is
N10, 000 there. Use it to refill the gas and make
stew for yourself” she interrupted her.
Mercy: “Thanks a lot” she said. That was one
thing that Mercy loved about her cousin, she
would always make sure there was food in the
house even though she hardly ate at home.
As soon as they got into Queen’s car, Asha
tapped her.
Asha: “I know how we can get your cousin to
start following us out and do what we do” she
said excitedly.
Queen: “Mercy, follow us out and do what we do?
Just forget it, that one is mission impossible” she
said putting on the ignition.
Asha: “All we need do is starve her. By the time
she stays hungry for days, she will have no
option than to join us. Did you see the look in her
eyes when she told you about the gas? I saw fear
and uncertainty in her eyes, a sign that she is at
your mercy considering the fact that her parents
do not have money to send to her. Come to think
of it, is she wiser than us? We will go out, sleep
with men and then feed, clothe and accommodate
her with the money we make from men. Monkey
dey work, baboon dey chop”
Queen: “Hmmn, you kind of have a point there”
she said shaking her head.
