"I saw you at the party, soft lips, soft spoken
I came to talk to you but homie interfered now
He introduced you as his girl and I was heartbroken."

Olisa

I was test playing a beat when I heard a sharp knock on my door, drawing my attention away from my laptop before me. Kamsy poked her head in, a bright smile on her face. "I'm going out with Tay, I'll be back in a few hours." She informed me.

That explains why she's smiling so hard, I think to myself.

Tay is Kamsy's boyfriend of three years. Her most serious relationship till date and one I supported because Tay was a laid back guy and it was obvious he really loved my sister.

I remember her surprise at how casually I took the news of her relationship years ago, she had said she was expecting me to flip and go into overprotective big brother mode. I let her know that I was aware of their relationship for a while and had decided to not mention anything, rather I observed them together and I was happy with what I saw. Then, I had let him know that if he ever did my sister dirty, I would fuck him up badly, and that was that.

"Alright. Have fun." I tell her.

"I will. Nara is downstairs in case you need anything. Love you." Kam said in a rush before leaving, shutting the door closed behind her.

I became frustrated by the information she'd just shared.

In the past over one week since I returned to Nigeria, Nara has made it her mission to tempt me in anyway possible. From body cons, to tiny jean shorts, to miniskirts; basically anything that would drive a man crazy.

At first, I wondered if this was how she dressed around the house normally but then I figured it wasn't because each outfit was always accompanied with a sultry look in my direction. It didn't help that her mother stays in the BQ (Boy's Quarters) behind the house on weekdays, so Nara had an excuse to be here almost everyday.

I didn't understand how a seemingly shy woman could be such a seductress but I also couldn't allow her diminish my resolve to have nothing to do with her sexually so I quickly closed my laptop and put the device in its bag. I swung the bag over my shoulder and quickly called Briggs on my way out to inform him that I was coming over.

You won't win today, Satan.

Of course, just my luck, when I was almost out of the house, keys in hand, I was stopped by the lady in question.

"You're leaving?" She asked, her voice soft and her face crestfallen. "I thought maybe we could see a movie."

No, you did not, I thought to myself.

I made a disappointed face. "Sorry, I'm heading over to Briggs', he needs my help with a few things. I'll be back in a few though, maybe we can watch the movie then." I suggested having no intention to pull through.

She grinned slightly before replying. "Okay sure."

I nodded at her in greeting before walking out and getting into my black Range Rover 2017 model. I released a breath as the security man pulled open the gates and I pulled out of the driveway.

I arrived at the Briggs family mansion in roughly 10 minutes and I quickly made my way inside uninterrupted. I found Briggs' older sister seated in the living room along with their younger brother who looked to be doing assignments at the dinning area.

"Hey, Zara." I greeted her as I walked in.

She looked up at me in surprise, a wide grin slowly slipping on her face as she stood up and came to pull me into a hug. I grew up with Zara and she was always like a big sister to Kamsy and I. Although, she no longer lived with Briggs, rather she resides with their eldest brother in the United States, so she and I haven't been able to really keep in contact.

"It's been so long, you look good." She compliments with a grin.

I chuckle. "Thank you. So do you." I then feel someone hug me from the side and I look to see a 15 year old Peju grinning up at me.

"Wow. Is this my little man?" I ask in surprise. He was now almost my height as he stared at me, mirth swimming in his eyes.

"I'm not so little anymore." He tells me, his voice already sounding deeper than I remember.

"No, you're not." I agree with a laugh. "Where is Briggs?"

"He's holed up in his room doing God knows what." Zara tells me with a mild roll of her eyes as she moves to return to her seat on the couch.

I chuckled. "I'll see y'all later." I tell them, shaking Peju's hand before going up the stairs.

Briggs' room is locked when I try to open the door so I knock. He comes to unlock the door, pulling me in almost immediately and locking it back.

The room is filled with thick smoke permeated in the air but due to the fact that I'm used to it, I'm able to stop myself from choking. I was, however, confused as to why he was being so secretive, choosing to smoke in this unventilated room, so I sent him a questioning look as I sat down on the bed in the middle of his room.

"I told Zara I stopped smoking some months back when she was on my case about it. She can't know." He explains as he moves to the chair.

"As long as I get a pull." I tell him with a laugh as he hands me the joint of weed. After taking a  deep pull, I give it back to him.

I set up my laptop and move up on the bed, leaning my back against the headrest as I go back to the beat I was working on at home.

Making beats is something I do in my past time as a hobby, and most times, I sell to my friends who are into music. I'm pretty good at it and it's something I really enjoy doing regardless of the fact that I will never create a career out of it.

Briggs stares at me sideways before asking. "Why'd you come here to do your beats? I know you like being alone for those."

I run my hands down my face, agitated. "I need to get laid, ASAP." I say vaguely and Briggs bursts into laughter immediately understanding where my frustration was stemming from.

"Oh, she's coming at you hard, isn't she?" He asks.

"Really fucking hard. It either body hugging or so short it's non existent, I'm just tired abeg. This self control thing is not easy." I tell him.

Briggs just laughs harder only quieting down after some minutes. "There's a party tonight. It's at Oniru beach. I didn't want to go, but you look like you could use a good time so let's hit it up."

I nod. "What time?"

"Starts by eleven." He tells me as he moves to hand me the joint.

Several hours later, we were pulling up at Oniru Private Beach. Briggs directed me to where the party was and it looked like it was in full swing as we got in.

The atmosphere was perfect. Usually, at clubs it's sweaty and jampacked but out here is cool and chill. An upbeat Nigerian R&B song is blaring over the speakers as everyone stands around in groups, red solo cups in hand as they socialize. I immediately spot Vino at the bar in the bartender's area, a slim dark skinned girl seated opposite him as they spoke. He looks up at us and waves as we begin making for him, pushing our way through the throng.

"Aye." Vino hollers as I dap him over the island. He does the same with Briggs and I notice the girl he was speaking to staring up at me with interest. She's in a neon blue two piece bikini, the striking color looked beautiful against her mocha skin. She had a nice body, but I stopped myself from looking any further because I didn't know if she was Vino's girl.

"Jade, what's good?" Briggs asks her as he shakes her hand before we move to seat on the stools adjacent to her.

A sweet smile comes on her face, showcasing her pearly whites. "I'm good. We missed you last week at Kiki's." She tells him.

Briggs gestured to me, a hand on my shoulder. "My boy just touched down from the U.K so we had some catching up to do." Vino nodded in agreement. "The infamous Olisa Amadi." Briggs introduced us.

Her eyes turned to me, shining with anew interest from probably having recognized my last name. She gave me a grin before stretching her hand towards me."I'm Jadesola, but everyone just calls me Jade."

Her hand in mine was soft and slender, I liked the feel but nothing more. She was a very beautiful girl, but not really my type. "Olisa." I said simply with a nod.

After she lets go, I turn to the bar and order myself a shot of Bacardi, deciding to ignore whatever conversation the trio were having and choosing instead to peruse my surroundings. The music playing had changed to alté, with people loitering around, the girls in either bikinis or mini outfits and the guys dressed in casual clothing such as myself.

I saw a group of guys whom I knew so I excused myself and headed over to them.

"Olisa!" TJ exclaimed as he sighted me heading his way, meeting me halfway. "My man." We dapped each other. "Is this you?" He asks still in shock. I didn't tell many people that I was back in town and my social media had been silent lately so I understand his surprise.

"In the flesh." I tell him as I part my hands wide with a lazy smile on my face.

TJ eagerly took me to the group and after exchanging greetings with everyone, most of whom I knew, we took a few pictures and then TJ, two other guys and myself went to take a seat in the lounge area, a joint in hand.

"How's the career going?" I ask. "I listened to the tracks you sent me, pure fire." I tell him honestly as I pull on the joint between my lips before exhaling, a ring of smoke releasing from my mouth.

"It's been great. Haven't been able to find a beat maker quite like you though." He tells me with a grin.

"Been working on some new music since I got back, now that I've got time and all. I'll email a few of them to you."

TJ nods appreciatively. "Thanks man. I have a concert next Saturday at NationFest, I could get you tickets if you are down." He suggests with a shrug.

"Yeah, I'm down, for sure." I tell him as I relax in my seat.

"Alright then." TJ says as he pulls out his phone.

The track Like To Party by BOJ, Skepta and TeeZee comes on and with it being a bop, people immediately rush to the dance floor but I remain in my seat preferring, instead, to observe.

Girls immediately start twerking to the beat, some grinding on their partner, and in the corner of my eye I see a group of girls approach the floor. Some people make space for them seeming to know who they are but only one in particular catches my eye. She's dressed in a mustard tube top with a matching mini skirt and a white pair of sneakers. Unlike the other girls with her, her movements are calm, graceful, and the minute she starts dancing I'm entrapped by the way her slender hips move to the tempo of the song.

She looks at ease as she dances, as if she doesn't have a care in the world. I don't see her face clearly due to the space being dark with blue and red flickering lights, only seeing brief glances, her eyes hidden behind a slim pair of red pince shades.

I watch her closely, my interest increasing by each second. I decide then that this is the girl I want to take home with me tonight.

All too soon, the song comes to an end and she and her friends move off the dance floor, going instead to settle at the bar area.

"I'll be right back." I tell TJ who looks at me and nods in response as I rise up from my seat. I make my way to her, my eyes not straying from her slim frame settled on a bar stool.

She's seated next to a light skinned girl who has her back to me on her left, and Briggs on her right. In the light, she looks even more beautiful than she did on the dance floor. Her skin is beautiful chestnut color, her body slim and shapely. She look to be about 5'6, her frame, smallish.

Just as I approach her, I see Tobi who I hadn't seen since I arrived, walk up to her from behind and lay a kiss on her cheek. The sight almost stops me in my tracks but I push it off to avoid being noticed. My hand subconsciously clenches beside me.

"Oshey, Shakira. I didn't know you could dance like that." I hear Briggs say making them all burst into laughter.

"Quit it, Toyosi." The girl who's name I don't know, tells him softly and I see Briggs frown, displeased at her use of his name. Whoever this girl was, I could tell that she was familiar with my friends.

Maybe she's...no, she can't be. I try to convince myself. She's probably just Tobi's cousin or something, I think, overlooking the fact that he has his arm wrapped around her waist in an affectionate gesture.

Briggs notices me first. "Bro, where were you? I found some good shisha that I know you will like." He says with a head nod in a direction of the room.

I look there to find some people already smoking from the long pipe. "Nah, I'm good." I tell Briggs.

I feel her eyes on me but I force myself to ignore her stare. "Tobi, what's good?" I ask as I dap him up.

He's all smiles tonight, a small silver grill in his bottom row of teeth. "Can't complain." He says with a shrug before turning to back to her. "This is Ashley, my girlfriend. Babe, this is my boy Olisa."

Ashley. A lovely name for a beautiful lady, I think to myself.

I give her a lazy smirk. "Nice to meet you." I say as I shake her hand, squeezing it only slightly before dropping it.

"Same here." She replies as she gazes at me from beneath her full lashes. "I've heard a lot about you."

"All good things, I hope?" I ask her with a charming smile. I see it affects her slightly but she soon recovers herself, covering it with a nervous laugh.

"Mostly." She says and Tobi and Briggs chuckle.

I nod at her before moving to take a seat on the stool next to Briggs, watching Ashley in my peripheral vision.

She's beautiful and soft spoken, she seems to have a good relationship with the boys as well. But damn I wanted her. In a relationship or not.

I wasn't one to think this way but it seemed like suddenly I was at a loss for common sense with this vixen who I just met. I didn't think of all the bad that could stem from this one wrong thought, this one misplaced desire. All I could think of was getting her into my bed, and that I will do. But for now, I focus on the lady beside me.

Jade rubs on my arm as she stands next to me, trying to engage me in conversation. I wasn't really in the mood to talk. I knew what she wanted, and I knew what I wanted right now so without further ado, I asked her if she wanted to leave to which she all too eagerly responded yes.

I told Briggs I was leaving with the car and he said he'd take an Uber home so after exchanging greetings with everyone, my eyes lingering for a moment to long on Ashley who she stared at me too, her mini skirt pulled up her lap as she sat on the bar stool, I made my way out of the party with Jade by my side.

She then directed me to her place where she claimed she lives with her friend. I didn't care for the logistics so I got straight to business. As I fucked her that night, I found myself thinking of Ashley, her image engrained in mind from the short encounter I had with her.
