He moved closer to try and
get a better look, but only as close as he could without the VVIP bouncer sending
him back to the club floor. The more he looked, the more convinced he was that that
was Frank.
“Omo, look at this guy sha.
Tiny Frank of those days? See the kind of level he is on, see babes, see
drinks. VVIP, only him… This guy must be really big now.”
Coming to the club that day,
his plan had been to have a drink, enjoy himself on the dancefloor and then
pick a chick to go home with, but at the sight of Frank, all of that
disappeared. He knew he had to find a way to speak to him.
“Only him cannot enjoy all those
things alone o; the babes, the booze. I must join him na.”
He immediately became a self-appointed watchman,
eyes fixed on Frank and watching every move, not wanting to miss him whenever
he came out of the VVIP section for any reason.
He didn't have to wait too long. Frank soon came down with the
girls streaming along and headed towards the door. Seemed they were calling it
a night already. Olu rushed off after them.
Navigating through the well-packed club was
not the easiest of tasks. By the time he finally got out, Frank and his party
were at the parking lot, with four of the girls already cramming
themselves into a red Toyota Camry while the remaining three and Frank stood beside
another car.
“Frank! Frank!” he shouted and the man turned
round. It was indeed him!
Olu ran the rest
of the way to him. Frank stared at him like a stranger for about ten seconds,
then his expression cleared. “Ah, Olumide!”
“I talk am now,
I talk am say na you!” Olu shouted and both men exchanged boisterous handshakes
and hugs.
“It’s been, what,
eight years?”
“Nine to be
exact,” Olu corrected him. “We graduated in 2009 o, and I have not set these my
eyes on you since then.”
"Dude, your level is mad gan. I saw you in there at VVIP," Olu’s
eyes danced all over the girls that were standing beside Frank and the other five
in the car in front of them. "You na
chairman o."
Frank gave a small smile.
"Where are you off to? Let me roll with
you now. I won’t mind partaking in this your enjoyment o, even if it is just a
little. Oga, only you seven women. Chai!”
"Really?" Olu have him a funny
little look. Then shrugged. "No problem, you can roll with me if you really
want to."
He asked one of the girls with him to join the
others in the 2nd car.
"You are the owner of these 2 cars?"
asked Olu.
"Only this Benz is mine," Frank responded.
“The other one belongs to one of the ladies.”
The Benz was a shiny white 2016 C Class. Olu
spent 10 seconds admiring its glossy lines before getting into the passenger
seat.
“This your ride is very
tight,” he complimented. “What are you
doing now?” He had thought of the possibility that his old course mate was
involved in something illegal, like Yahoo or drug business.
“I head the IT department of
an oil-servicing firm,” Frank responded. “And you?”
“Ah, me I am managing one
contract job with a bank. Things have not been so rosy at my end in the past
few years jor.”
Frank started the engine and they were on
their way. Olu did not ask where they were headed. He didn't mind where they
went, as long as he got to be part of Frank's chopping life things.
