Dangerous Entanglement

episode 45

/HANNAH’S POV/

The lunch didn’t last for long, Racheal made sure to that. Though we sat with the groom couples and a few of his friends the table just so pointed and singled me out to the only person without at least a plus one. Though I am personally not a big fan of weddings or marriages, I have nothing against it, and at this moment I so much envy my friends whom are married already. Of course I will not rush into taking my vows with just any man.

I am sure over the years my girls will have the thoughts that I am a lady with apathy for relationships and dating, but they wouldn’t know that I just happen to have a very high taste when it comes to men, not just about how they look, but rather how they behave and also treat their lady. And when I say behaviour and how they treat their lady, I am talking about how they relate, assist and even how they go about s****l acts with the woman.

As long as I can remember kelvin has being the guy that has scored highest point in all these divisions, maybe that’s why always run to him whenever I am in need of a solace to share my fear or joy with since when I have happened to meet him.

“Alright ladies, it’s time to leave your men for them go do their men stuffs…” Racheal announced as she clapped her hands together calling attention to herself.

 “I am not sure if they’ve actually got something planned and I don’t care…” she said again as she smiled.

“In fact, I actually pray they do not have anything planned” she now looked over to her husband with a big stare.

“But for you ladies, have got allot planned out and I promise it’s going to be a total package of amusement” she concluded with a loud scream which was resonated by other ladies in the gathering out of share excitement of the fun we know we are about to go have.

All the ladies got gathered and left the roof top and in about five minutes we were on the street stepping into a bus that will take us around for our fun fair, and the spa is scheduled as the number one place we will be going to.

Judging from the number of ladies in the bus, it was obvious that my girls have maintained our circle and have no other lady into it, we still remained just four as we have been right from the beginning. Only three other ladies joined us in the bus and they were spouses of the groom’s friend. We got to the spa and just like always, Racheal called the shots.

“Sauna time girls…” she announced as we heeded to her call. Five minutes into the sauna session, one of the other ladies began to experience difficulty breathing. We later found out she was actually a first timer and have always been scared of it that’s why she never used it, and today she didn’t want to miss out in the fun that’s why she couldn’t say no.

“Hannah…” Racheal had called out.

“Hope you are fully ready for tomorrow?” she had questioned me without raising her head up from the bench she was laying on.

“Of course, I am.” I responded, though I was not quite sure what her question was really about.

“Will you be reading the speech or you going to just talk from the heart.” She asked still maintaining her position.

“Hmmmmm, I guess I will be talking from the heart.” I stuttered.

“You don’t sound sure about that” Helen pointed out.

“Yeah I don’t…” I admitted looking very guilty.

“You better be…” Cindy said also laying on a bench adjacent to mine with slice of lemon on her eyes.

“Have got allot of nice attributes I will like you to say about me...” she added.

“Who told you that, you’ve got very less nice attributes that I can count on just on hand” Racheal blotted at her.

“What do you mean by that?” she said making Helen and I chuckled.

“Well they may not be true, but I will really have something I will love to hear her say tomorrow.” Cindy said, not minding the fact that Racheal was using her as her centre of sarcasm.

“Do they include you dating five guys under a period of six months back in high school…” Helen mentioned.

“Remember to add that two of those guys are brothers’ bore of the same parents…” Racheal added as she laughed out loud gesturing to me.

“Of course I won’t forget that…” I said laughing as I we all are now sitting upright.

“I will also do well to add to fact that she is a very big squanderer and an addict impulse buyer.” I added to the ongoing list.

“Well Dave is aware of that side of me already and I do not care about who else finds out about it” she pointed out smiling as we went on.

“Well then, maybe I should also tell about your trip to panama with that young African millionaire all because he promised you…” I had to stop abruptly after I noticed the way Helen and Racheal reacted to what I just said.

That was my fear from the very beginning, saying something I will be thinking was cool based on my past knowledge about the group, but was no longer cool due to something I have no idea had occurred.

“What happened?” I slowly asked looking at both Helen and Racheal and then finally at Cindy.

“That trip almost caused Cindy her life Hannah” One of the three ladies with us said quietly.

“How comes she knows about it and I don’t” I mistakenly asked that aloud.

“Are you really asking that…?” Helen said to me.

“Nah, I guess it’s a rhetorical question.” Racheal commented.

“It came up in a discussion and I couldn’t hide it anymore…” Cindy began to explain how the lady got to know about the matter and I don’t.

“I told it in front of Dave and he said it was nothing to be ashamed of…” she continued.

“And to be honest, that was when I realised Dave was the special one for Me.” she added as she crossed her hands across her chest illustrating a cuddle.

“Wow… that’s nice…” I said still shock and curious about what really happened on the trip.

“I mean, that was my worse decision ever, gong on trip with someone I met in a club just the day before because he was good in bed and also he promised me five thousand dollars, I mean what’s left to be called a cheap slut.” She explained bitterly

“And mike, he didn’t even judge me about it at all.” Cindy smiled as she stood up to stretch a bit.

“What really happened in panama?” I finally gave in to my curiosity.

“The motherf**ker was a drug smuggler, he wanted to use me as a disguise for safe haven in and out of panama. We were apprehended and I spent about a month in the gallows” she briefed the whole story quickly making me look in awe.

“Well it’s now in my past and I can say it has had its effect into making me a better person, but that doesn’t mean you can say it tomorrow.” She said as she finally returned the atmosphere back to its celebratory mode.

“I was of the option that you talk from your heart, but I don’t thnk that will be acceptable anymore.” Helen said with a laugh.

“Hmmm nahhhhh, we can’t afford that risk” Racheal said firmly.

“I will get a speech ready for you tomorrow morning…” she concluded getting up from her position.

“Alright ladies, scientifically proven, sauna should not last more than twenty to twenty five minutes.” She announced indicating we should get ready to leave the sauna hall. I looked at Racheal as she walked in her full grace outside the sauna hall to get a bath.

“Fifteen minutes ladies…” she announced as she stepped into one of the bath cubicles.

“Alright, I can’t hold this anymore…” I said out with loud chuckles, all the other ladies turned their attentions to me waiting for the revelation I was about to make.

“Who was giving the others during Racheal’s wedding ceremony?” I asked to the amusement of everyone.

“I mean, was she the one who still gave out orders o activities during her own wedding?” I added to the question.

“Oh my dear… you missed allot not attending her wedding.” Helen responded to my question, though not actually giving me the answer.

“She was still in charge and was the one still giving orders…” Cindy finally gave an answer to my question.

“At a point I got tired and wished I had also missed the wedding just like you did.” Helen said trying to whisper so Racheal who was already in the cubicle will not hear what we saying.

“I heard that Helen…” Racheal screamed out from the bath as the rest of us laughed and walked into separate cubicles to have a bath.
