Circle, Accra – Episode 15

Circle, Accra
Episode Fifteen

Femi woke up the next morning, her eyes fixed strict to the ceiling, trying to connect the patterns design on the ceiling, she stretched herself and felt she was nearly naked, she quickly raised the blanket, she wore only her panties, her bra was laying carelessly on the floor, she touched herself to see whether she was engaged in some form of activity last night.

Nedd came into the roam, Femi quickly covered herself with the blanket and tried to read possible signals from Nedd’s face

“Why are you staring at me like that?, are you sleepwalking?”… Nedd asked

Femi: Why am I naked, and why didn’t you knock before coming in?

Nedd: Naked?… How am I supposed to know that, I brought you in here with your clothes on… And I thought you might still be asleep, that’s why I didn’t care to knock

Femi: So you watched me strip naked…. Or..?

Nedd: Oh Cmon, why are you so insecure about your nakedness… This is my guestroom ok… I slept in my room wai

Femi:… Errrn?

Nedd: You forgot you were tipsy… Yea

Femi: Oh maybe

Nedd: I prepared breakfast, you should join me after

Steve has been waiting for Femi to call him since she left, he wanted to use her as his delivery girl, even if it will involve her traveling outside to deliver packages, he wouldn’t mind, he knew Femi was in for the money, and she wouldn’t really care what she will do to have, Femi had made him understand earlier when she was with him, and the only way he could get in touch with Femi was to order her from Shuga, and he also knows Shuga will be suspicious if He should mention Femi’s name, Shuga had told her girls not to develop any sort of relationship with customers, just do your work, get paid and leave, but he could also get his boys to go get Femi from Vienna, either through persuasion or force.

Shuga had scratched the face of another girl who works for her, she believed the girl was in a relationship with one if her clients, and she wasn’t taking of that, she had warned them against that because she could loose a customer in the name of relationship, she doesn’t really care who the girls have relationship with, but it shouldn’t be with her big time clients, she used her nails to disfigure the girls face, she threatened to pour acid on her face the next time she sees him around the man, she seized the girl’s phone, tore her dress and pushed her out of her office.

“Did any of you see Femi here last night”… Shuga asked angrily

Nobody answered, she asked again with a stern look into the eyes of one of the bartenders

Bartender: No Ma’

She took out her phone and tried Femi’s line again, and it was still off, she threw her phone onto her desk and poured herself a glass of whisky, she wants submission, and she will make sure Femi submits to her.

Femi and Nedd were sitting in the living room watching movies, Nedd had orderd food from a food joint, they feel really wasted from last night, Femi wanted to leave, but Nedd convinced her to stay a little while, he wouldn’t mind if Femi stays there with her through out the rest of the week.
Femi had also confessed to him about how he goes about her supposed job, she will be branded a prostitute, but she’s not exactly a prostitute, deeper within her, she wouldn’t sleep with no man or woman, especially after she spoke to Nedd.
Nedd wasn’t all happy with what she was doing, visiting the houses of oldmen she doesn’t know, he feared she is in a way putting herself in danger

Femi: Danger?… My life has always been in danger, trust me

Nedd: This men can be dangerous, you heard what that man told you, I mean the Chief, he says he will feed you to his dogs

Femi: I don’t think so, he wouldn’t do that

Nedd: Why do you think so?

Femi: Because I don’t know, I just feel he wouldn’t, Steve evdn told me to call him, am yet to

Nedd: So you didn’t sleep with any of them men?

Femi: So you don’t believe me?… Im going to my house jorrrt

Nedd: Hey heyy heyyy, not soo fast ah ahhn, I was just been caring

Femi: Caring what, I don’t lie like that

Nedd: So will you sleep with me?

Femi; Sleep with you?… That’s easy, shift let me sleep by you

Nedd: Stop acting funny, I mean have sex with me?

Femi: And what will you give me in return?

Nedd: Money, Shopping, Iphone…

Femi: Oh really, so you really see me as a prostitute huh, and you will pay me with Money, Iphone and Shopping?… Like what do you take me for

Nedd: Oh sorry, that’s not what I meant…. Hold on don’t leave Femi

Femi didn’t wait to hear more, she went into the room, dressed up and left, Nedd could’nt stop her, He felt very stupid, he knew Femi was smart, and he lost tracks of his own conscience.

“I could have kissed her to see what her reaction will be, or just touch her face, or lips or fo something romantic, why the F**k will I ask her about sex?”… Nedd cussed himself for acting stupidily

Femi sat in the trotro and brought out her phone, she knew some people might have tried reaching her, especially hse Nigerian friends at the Club, and also Shuga, but she wasn’t in the mood to switch on her phone, she knew very well Nedd will definetly call, and she wasn’t in the mood to entertain him.

“Guys are almost the same globally, they reach into your pants, eat to their fullest and dump you like some kind of garbagge”… She thought

When she reached her place, she went straight into her bed, and tears formed into her eyes, she tried fighting it, but emotions won’t, she sunk her face into the pillow, and made tears flow…Life has never been fair to her
