Chapter -2-Clubbing

I still heard another three years to go before I completed my Engineering studies. But fate took the wrong turn. I was very much emotionally unstable.I knew it was useless to ask for government sponsorship because I could be used as a political tool. After having am internal meeting between myself and I. I made a choice not to continue studying. With the littlemoney I had, Which was approximately 3000 dollars, I relocate to Nipe city. I didn't have any specific plan. I just wished to calm my mind down and think when I am calm enough. When I reached Nipe town,I went and rented a bedsitter for 4.5 dollars a month.I paid 10 dollars which was inclusive of my deposit. I then chose to bank 2500 dollars so that I could not misuse the money while I was in a messed mind. After renting my room which was located on the third floor of tall apartment call Emma apartments.I took 400 dollars out of the 490 dollars I had left after banking the rest.The purpose for the money was to buy my house hold commodities.

I went to the nearest supermarket and bought a 4 by 6 bed plus Its beddings.I believe in having a good bed, not for sleeping,but for having a good time. I then bought cooking apparatus ie, plates, glasses, cups ,gas e.t.c. I then bought some simple clothing to push me through. Last If not least, I bought a sound system and a 42" tv and it's stands. You might wonder why I put importance into it. When you stop being a virgin, you will understand. After placing everything in the house and officially moving in, I decided it was now time to let it lose of my emotions. I know you already guessing what I did. Yeah, you are not wrong. I took the remaining 90 dollars and decided to go have a drink.

There was a famous club in this city which was called Zero Wing.I have never been there because it's standard was quite high.Since I didn't want to have fight today,I decided to do Zero Wing club. I stopped a motorcycle and paid 1 dollar to the club. When I reached the club I was astonished by the number of luxurious cars that were entering the almost full packing. I didn't dare have the motorcycle guy drop me too near the gate,it better walking in than be dropped Infront of expensive cars. I also remembered to pick the motorcyclist number, because I found him easy to get along and a guy I can trust. The main reason is because we lived in the same apartment.

Piece of advice,' for you who doesn't have control while drunk, please always have someone you can trust and someone you can find. Mostly ladies,when you get wasted, you tend to think with your p*****s. So you call your home ride, or you take a random ride home, and due to your alcohol and horny status, you end up f*****g a stranger or strangers since you can be gangbanged. Back to me now.

After setting my ride issues,I slowly walked to the clubs entrance while pretending to be on the phone. Just as I was to bypass the securities,I was stopped.

Security:Hey!You too you to be here. You must be over 25. I doubt you of age." I knew I was really f****d, I didn't want to go to any other club because it had too many youths who are just but a spelling of trouble. I quickly thought of a lie.

Me: I am sorry I didn't know about the age limit. I am new in this city. I am from Kumpat city and I am just here for a friends burial." I had to make sure the security takes pity on me and then allow me to enter. But this guy really loves to follow the book.

Security: I am sorry but you can't enter.

Me: What about having a security having to constantly monitor my actions,if I misbehave he can kick me out." I then saw the guy think for a minute....

Security:It is possible to have someone check on you,It will cost 10 dollars. If you pass today's test,you will be free to be attending anytime.

I quickly paid the 10 dollars. It was then the security who I have been talking to stood up and followed me. He left his post to his colleagues. When I entered,there was loud music and people dancing. Some we romance dancing,some were tweaking and others were dancing in moves. I love drinking at the counter,I don't know why,but I always feel at home while there. I guess it's due to the fact that the counter area had a wide range area. It seemed luck was on my side as there was an empty seat near a mature well figured lady. I walked slowly as the security followed behind. "Excuse me madam,Is the seat reserved?"I asked. "No, It's empty,you can have it if you don't mind holding my handbag." she replied. It was then that I noted her handbag on the chair.I scanned through the club to see if I can spot another empty seat. All empty seats were a mid a group of people, sitting there would be more awkward. I reluctantly picked the hand bag and placed it on my laps after sitting down.

"Hello sir,what would like to be served" a melodies voice asked. I was very tempted to say 'you' but I remembered I was under an eagle's eye."I would love to have some Black label 750ml" I replied. "That will be a total of 60 dollars,do you wish to add anything else?" the bar woman asked.", please add 1 litter of lime." I said as I paid 60.5 dollars.

I slapped the Black label's buttocks thrice,It is a way to bless the liquor. I then went to a flower vace that was in the center of the club and poured 2 tots to appease the dead souls of my parents. I then added another tot to my friends and villagers.As I was doing so, tears started falling. The good thing is that the club lighting helped me cover my soft side. It not advisable for a man to show emotions in public. I then walked back to the bar counter and poured my drink in the whiskey glass. The first tot should always be drunk dry, I don't know who came with the rule but I just follow it. As soon as the drink touched my throat, I felt a scorching pain, damn....this liquor is strong. After adjusting to the liquor taste, I started drinking it in a slow pace while in a diluted state. I don't know how many glasses I had consumed but I snapped out of my drinking spree due to the eyes I received from people around the counter. Even my security escort was looking at me weirdly. I turned to the lady whom I was holding the handbag and asked."Excuse me madam,did I do something wrong." She looked at my innocent face and laughed."You really a strong young man,you ain't drunk after drinking all that liquor alone".....all liquor, I wondered. I then looked at the whiskey bottle and I was astonished,It was actually empty.I raised the bottle to check if it had a hole. My actions made everybody watching me laugh,Some even holding their ribs due to pain. I looked at the Security and asked," How long have I been here?" "it's just less than an hour" he replied. Waaah,that was fast. I stood and walked to the washrooms. It's not that I really needed to be there,it's just a style to check if I have reached my limit. ...It seems I am a long way to get drunk, I thought. I just felt tipsy.

I walked back to the counter and paid for another bottle using the money in the phone. I can't be in a club and leave while am not drunk. That is a waste of resources and time. Not to forget the noise torture. "Are you really okay?" asked the lady."I am Emma by the way" She said shaking my hand. " I am Uter, I think am okay." I replied sizing up the lady. Noting my behavior, she chuckled."Are you mourning?" she asked. I looked at her for some seconds and nodded my head. "Can we not talk about it." I asked in a pleading manner. "Okay Mr. Uter,but please don't drink unconditionally.It might be harmful to your health."Emma adviced. " Thanks for your concern,but allow me to drink until I drop. I am not a regular drinker " I replied. "Where do you live, I can give you a ride home. I don't think you have a car " "I live in an apartment called just like you."I replied. "Oh! so we might be neighbors. It belongs to our family, and my dad gave it to me as a birthday present when I was 30." Emma said smiling. The smile made me lose focus momentarily. " Do you mind for a dance."I warily asked. By then, the 2nd bottle was already half and I was getting drunk. I love dancing while drunk.
