OBSESSED WITH HIS BRIDE

I Tried Fun

I rummage through my stuffs searching desperately for the paper "God that document paper is so important to me please help me remember where I kept it " I made a silent prayer as I kept on with my search .

I pause for a while trying to remember where I might have kept those papers but to no avail ,

in the mist of my dilemma I hear a soft laughter as a shadow behind me said

-its with me ! I turn to face Palmer looking at her like a possessed mammal .

"What did you say ? I asked even though I heard her perfectly , loud and clear.

"I said it's with me ! " she smugly repeated flipping her hair sadistically,

I stare at my best friend Palmer wondering why she didn't tell me early and watched me ransack my own stuff like a burglar "Why didn't you tell me ! I couldn't help but yell at her .

She laughed, throwing her head back , Does she she think this is funny ! Clearly that document paper meant a lot to me- it was my 4 years hard earned academic work certificate.

"Palmer look we play a lot and all but I don't appreciate you taking my academic work as a joke , Clearly I know you can see am not laughing not in the slightest possible way" I boomed as I brushed my hair with my fingers to help me calm down .

"baby girl Relax , Remember I still have your papers - one wrong move and I might ...

Palmer hopped unto the couch laughing wickedly. I was so furious, does she think it's a game or some joke . "Pammy this isn't funny give me back my documents , NOW !

I still have your papers baby girl so behave " She burst out laughing .

I sighed rubbing my forehead to prevent myself from strangling my annoying bestie "What do you want Palmer !

Finally we are talking business " Palmer said winking at me . "you my gorgeous friend, will go out with me Friday to wherever I please...

I rolled my eyes mouthing "It not gonna happen loud and clear enough for the ears of Palmer.

I see her frown but I couldn't care less, Anytime I go out with her something troublesome always happens one way or another, I don't want to even remember past events... Am definitely not going!

Go out with me " Palmer quaked ,

No" I replied.

"Say yes !she boomed.

No, I retorted.

Think about your paper" She pulled out the paper and waved it in the air as fast as lighting,

Blackmailer !! I accused before I finally agree.

Fine " I heard myself say.

Yes!! Palmer screamed , giggling and cheering "You won't regret this.

I walked out on her murmuring

"Am already regretting this ! .

I hope Friday never comes!

Atheya ! " I stop in my tracks when hear Pammy call out my name.

What is it now ? I ask turning around slowly to face Palmer,

"Don't you even think about ignoring my messages or call on Friday, don't you dare dream about avoiding me cause I'll always find a way to get back at you "

I won't Pammy , I swear and besides my paper is with you " I exclaim ,

Oh ! true I almost forgot about the paper " I stare daggers at Palmer as she waves of the fact she just forgot about my paper.

-You better not forget where you keep the papers or else I swear to God I will fry you alive .

"Do you want to eat Pizza ! She utters loudly clenching her phone.

I see what she's trying to do, she wants to wave of the rising tension in the room, I see her swallow hard and forces a tight smile on her lips.

"Yh, I want large size with pepperoni and mushrooms and a lot of cheese" I pause staring at her before adding "THE BILL IS DEFINITELY ON YOU!

Friday ! God damn Friday.

All my prayers went to deaf ears , Though am not that much of a religious person I just expected God to some how skip this Friday,one way or another.

Just this Friday!

And to top it all of - this dress is killing me, it's tight and too short for my liking. The dress is a bare back spaghetti strap v-cut attire that's above my knee, It's black and it's showing too much of my skin and cleavage.

"Christ Lord What have I gotten myself into .

I looked around as I drank in the place am dwelling in presently, I breathe in and slowly breathe out knowing perfectly crowded places give me headaches but here I am in a club filled with drunk humans drenched in their own insanity termed as fun , The fact that dozens of people are scrapping their sweaty bodies together gives me the message to just exit this suffocating room but a " Promise is a promise, I'll stay till midnight ....

I walk to the bar hoping to find my best friend who vanished a second ago with a guy only God knows who he is "I just hope she's alright "

Just when I decided to give her a call my phone gets snatched out of my hand,

"WHAT THE... Speak of the devil and here she appears "

"No phones allowed - Remember! " Palmer says twirling my phone round with her index finger.

"I was going to text you I was getting worried you've been gone for long , I wasn't breaking a rule and Pammy you better not drop my phone or else I swear to God I'll. ...

"Blah-blah-blaah , am not listening to yooou ... come on let's go dance " Am pulled towards the dance fall before I can even protest .

The dance floor is full of soo many unknown people as they grind their sweaty bodies together.

And the was only one word to describe this "Suffocating! this soo unbearable - "you can call me a party popper but am out of here"

Pammy held unto my wrist trying effortlessly to stop me from leaving.

After trying soo hard to free myself from Palmer's drunk grip I finally succeeded , I dashed out marching straight for the washroom .

"I need to breathe" I muttered to my image in the mirror as I truned the faucet on and splashed a hand full of water on my face taking in two deep breaths . I wiped my face with a paper towel as I walked back into the club , the blast music crippled my ear drums sending a sharp jolt to my pinna "I need to get out of here "! I say accidentally bumping into a waiter holding a tray filled with colorful drinks . I apologize for bumping into him and without thinking I guzzle all the drinks on his tray at a goal ignoring the sting . I laugh and he eyes me weirdly leaving me to fill butterflies in my stomach. A wave of dizziness hits me but it was so fast I could almost believe it never happened,. "I feel ... I feel so energetic! I walk to the bar asking for more of what the waiter gave me.

Palmer walks up to me dancing weirldy as she grabs the drink from my hand gulping it all down, she looks at me and laughs saying "You BAD GIRL ! you've been drinking behind my back but mama is proud of you . I smile in reply when I hear her shout over the music "MORE TEQUILA !

We drink a few more shots before walking to the dance floor . We dance for a while before another wave of dizziness hits me dragging me of the dance floor , I have to admit I haven't had that much fun in a long time. I curse when I check the time on my phone - 1:30 , I have to go to work tomorrow *F**k !

I see Palmer kissing a guy on the dance floor and I take that as a key to get out of there.

God I can't believe " I tried fun today !

With tipsy steps I walk out if the club and with luck being on my side I easily get a cab to take me home.
