36. KTV night
The three men made their way to the club. The bouncers dared not ask for their entrance cards. They wouldn’t be so ignorant not to recognize the three powerful figures in the country. One was known as the mafia King, the other was the smiling devil while the last one preferred his silence but that didn’t mean he was a softie, no. He could crash someone within a second. That’s how terrifying the three friends were ganerring respect and fear from others.
” The VIP room is ready.” The manager commented ” but we have a small problem.” He added looking down not daring to meet the gaze of the monsters infront of him.
” What’s the matter?” Lucas asked. He was the Most rational one among the three.
” We only have the double date room available. The master VIP has been booked for tonight.” The manager gathered all the courage he had to report.
” What do you mean the master VIP is occupied? That’s supposed to be our room!” Ronald roared making the manager to flinch in fear.
” Does that mean we will be sharing a room with however is booking the other section?” Dimitri inquired irritated.
” Y-yes.” The manager stuttered. ” But the Ladies occupying the other room are our VIP visitors and you won’t be having any trouble with them.” The manger added trying to salvage the situation.
” VIP my a. ss! I want the master VIP vacated now!” Ronald bellowed. In his opinion, whether the other occupants were VIP or not, he couldn’t share an entrance with anyone.
The manager was do scared that he almost peed on his pants.
” It’s okay, we will take that available room. We ain’t staying long anyways. Let’s not inconvenience others.” Lucas said and walked to their designated room. The others had nothing else to do other than follow behind him but not after cursing at the manager being incompetent.
Meanwhile, Marina, Terry and Martina were already settled in the inner room of the double room and ordered their drinks. They were chatting and laughing happily while the music played at the background.
” Am so hopeless, I can’t seem to find a boyfriend!” Terry whined making Marina to roll her eyes.
” That’s because you are choosy.” Marina commented.
” Ofcourse I have to be choosy. The man who passes as my boyfriend should be a man of substance. Not just anybody. My standards are high and i only want the best.” Terry declared.
” Yeah sure then you might as well mould your perfect man because the ones existing ain’t any perfect.” Marina retorted.
” What do you know? Just because you have a boyfriend now, ain’t we going to breath?” Terry asked, looking at Marina with resentment.
” You have a boyfriend?” Martina asked, feigning suprise. Ofcourse she knew about Marina having a boyfriend from Mr Santos talk this morning. Are clearly remembers that his name is Lucas.
” You didn’t Know? She has a boyfriend and plan on getting married soon. They even visited her parents house together.” Terry butted in.
” And Mr Santos agreed?” Martina inquired earning a shrug From Marina.
” Dad seems to like him very much so why not. He is a nice guy and by getting married to him, I don’t have to go through the normal dating process. I need a husband and he needs a wife, it’s a perfect trade.” Marina explained with a nonchalant look on her face as if she was talking about foregoing steak for shrimps for dinner.
” You want to marry him? Are you in love with him?” Martina asked the most important question. It would be fine if her twin wanted to marry the guy out of love but if it was a marriage of convenience, she wouldn’t allow that. Her sister deserves a perfect marriage, not just a relationship based on benefits.
Marina was silent for a time. She was deeply thinking about Martina’s question. Was she in love with Lucas? Definitely not. There was a natural attraction but that was it… Just attraction maybe because he was goodlooking and appeared cool.
” No.” She finally opened her mouth and replied.
” If you don’t love him, I suggest you think twice about marrying him. Don’t make a decision you will regret later. No need to hurry, you’ll find the perfect man fir yourself.” Martina adviced.
” Aaaaawn! Why do u feel like I am watching an elder sister advising the younger one?” Terry commented making Martina to tense yet again
” Don’t be dramatic!” Marina rebuked. Her friend was an overthinker and would translate things in the most weirdest way.
Their food was served. Since this was a club, the only thing edible was either grilled pork or roasted chicken so the girls ordered for roasted chicken. They were having the night of their life as they ate and drank.
” Let’s sing or better yet, let’s have a duet.” Terry proposed and the girls immediately agreed. They were getting tipsy from the cocktails they ordered.
” Marina, you go first.” Terry proposed.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
” Why should I be the first? I’ll end up shaming all of you.” Marina replied proudly.
” You wish! Louisa will definitely beat you tonight.” Terry countered. Her best friend had the most sweetest voice she ever heard. Everytime they sung together, Terry would feel inferior to her, something she accepted and was okay with.
” I’ll start.” Martina volunteered. Although she wasn’t a fan of KTV, she occasionally hummed and her mother would always praise her for having good vocals. She didn’t have to train for them, that was something she inherited from her biological mother. Her mother used to sing, she heard her sing severally. One day, Martina was so curious that are asked her mother where she learned to sing. Her mother had replied saying that she used to perform in clubs in country B. That’s how she managed to raise money to take care of Martina when she was young. She also learned that her mother also performed on the Streets too.
