Alvin and the other team members were gathered in the reception waiting for their lift to depart from the resort; they are finally convinced that their eviction will not be revoked so they were all looking gloomy with disappointed faces. The whole room was quiet as if there aren’t any mortals in there, apart from the sounds of their breath, there isn’t any audible sound. Each one of them is having series of thoughts going through their mind. John took a deep breath as he stood up and broke the prolonged silence with a question. He sighed as he faced them. “What will you guys do when we are out?” He asked looking at them but no one among them gave him a response. He sighed again and nodded his head. “I guess we will all get back to our fucked up lives.” He said almost breaking into tears.
Charles also sighed as he sluggishly stood up and tapped his shoulders. “Come on bro, life wouldn’t end here. I am sure all these happened for the best.” He said trying to console him. John smiled bitterly as he wiped up his face. “You know, I really had high hopes for this job. I really couldn’t wait to land a gig with you guys.” He said with a bitter voice. “But still none the less, we are thinking of starting over, Maya and I will look in to the possibilities of working together.” John added as he slowly walked and hold Maya’s hands. Everyone was surprised and silence for a while until Alvin speaks. “Wow, that’s really great guys, I am sure you will bring out something good.” He said tapping at John’s shoulders. Charles was stammering as he started talking to Maya. “Look Maya, I am really sorry about how things turned out between us. I felt like everything was casual and I didn’t need to tell you everything.” He said looking at her.
Maya smiled as she stared back at him. “You had all the chance to do that Charles, but you never did. Anyways, I am over it, I shouldn’t be angry because it’s not my right to be. Just make sure you let your subsequent partners knows your sexuality before hands, not everyone enjoys a complicated situation.” She said staring at him. Charles nodded his head as he sat back beside Alvin. Maya chuckled a little. “So what is it for you guys? Is there any chance of you two working together?” She asked looking at them. They were silent for a while before Charles nodded his head. “Well, that we aren’t sure about, but I guess we will both be around here trying out new things.” He said. They were still in the middle of the conversation when Sarah walked up to them. She wasn’t carrying any suitcase as they were. John stared at her because she wasn’t showing any signs of leaving the resort. They were all surprised seeing her in that state.
John hissed as he stood up to her, he almost throws a punch at her but Charles holds him back. “You are such a bitch Sarah, it’s clear that you had all these planned out. How much were you paid to sabotage us this way? What did you stand to gain by sidelining us Sarah?” He asked with tears rushing down on his face. Maya was also shocked as she walked up to here. She stared at her for a while before she speaks. “Seriously Sarah, I’d never expected that from you. I knew yu kind of hate me from the beginning but this is too extreme. You should have planted this on me alone not shattering the whole squad’s dream. Do you know how many futures you have just crashed?” Maya asked staring at her with a bitter face.
Sarah took a deep breath as she placed her hands in the pocket of her hoodie. “I am not here for any lectures guys. I am just here to say a proper good bye. You all should stop behaving as if you wouldn’t do what you have got to do just to secure your personal interests. You all know this is a battle for survival and we all have to win at one way or the other. I have never seen a future with you guys, you guys lack ambition, all you do is sleep around. I had to decide what is best for me and that is taking you guys out, only that way will I have my promising future at hand.” She said with an unremorseful face. They all stared at her as she turned and walked away. She slowly turned again and faced them; she stared at them and giggled for a while. “You guys shouldn’t think of working together in the future, the pretense of loving each other’s progress is exhausting.” She said as she hissed and disappeared.
They were all perplexed by how Sarah speaks to them without an ounce of remorse or regret in her face, as if she wasn’t the same Sarah that was so calm and loyal just a few days ago. “Life and people are so fucking unpredictable.” Alvin said with a sad face. Maya giggled as they all stood and watched Sarah till she disappeared. “You can never tell what’s in people’s mind or what their next move is. Who would have thought that local bitch will be such a great villain.” She asked rhetorically. Charles also giggled. “Well, she can pick the trophy for fucking us all over. We are actually done for, that bitch has fucked our lives really bad.” He also added. Maya smiled as she turned and looked at them. “You know what guys, I think since our lives are officially fucked up, we should really enjoy it to the fullest. What do you guys say to a getaway party?” She asked looking at them but they were all staring dumb at her.
She chuckled and moved closer. “Come on guys; don’t give me that awkward look. I need a spirit.” She said. “So I know of this secret club here in Lagos and trust me, it’s the most kinkiest and realest place I have ever been. Guys that place is what we all need right now.” She said looking at them. John nodded his head in disagreement. “I am not doing that Maya; my life is messed up beyond being compensated with a party.” He said. Maya laughed for a while. “And who is compensating you John. All I am saying is to go out there, have some real fun amongst people whose lives are also fucked up. After then, we can think about picking up our shattered pieces.” She said looking at him. Alvin chuckled as he moved closer. “And what’s this place like? It’s sounding interesting.” He asked curiously.
Maya smiled and exhaled loudly. “So it’s a secret club, not many people knows about it actually. It’s all about having a discreet one night affair with random people. You can actually expect any kind of thing in there, like you will meet the weirdest kind of people having different form of parties and sex. Group sex, gays, lesbians, bisexuals and BDSM included, you can even see a married couple who wants a trio or a group. Guys, that place is the real deal for a party.” She said and Charles quickly gave in. “I am interested.” He said immediately. Alvin also agreed immediately. They all turned and looked at John who looks stressed. “You are defeated babe, you have to go.” Maya said and he sighed deeply. “Okay, let’s do this.” He said as they all picked up their bags and head out…
*****
The night was still young; Sarah locked herself up in the room thinking about the situation. Deep down in her heart, there is an ounce of regret of what she did, that was when she realized that she shouldn’t have jeopardizes everyone’s future in the team, she should have found a way of out casting only John, instead of dragging everyone to the mess. But that shouldn’t be a reason she should feel bad of herself, the promising and secured future that Celina promised her is so intriguing that it covered her face to be the monster she becomes. Sarah has finished arranging her bags and set to leave, but her concern is that she didn’t see Celina since after the eviction and she didn’t hear from her. She becomes more worried when Celina’s phone kept going to voicemail every time she dialed it. She set out to find her as she headed to her apartment with fear engulfing her heart.
Sarah was about knocking at Celina’s door but she stopped immediately when she heard voices chatting and giggling inside the room. It’s obviously Celina talking to someone so she decided to eaves drop at their conversation. Few seconds into eavesdropping, Sarah was already soaked with sweats and tears flowing none stop on her face, her body was shaking as she heard Celina and Cleo talking in the room. Cleo chuckled from inside. “I told you babe, I will definitely get that team kicked and that is done.” She said and Cleo laughed. They continued talking and making fun of Sarah while she stood lifeless by the door listening to their conversation. She couldn’t control her tears as she heard their moans from inside, they are probably making out; she wiped the unending tears as she walked away with shaky legs. This is the point it occurred to her that her life is in shambles.
She was sitting in her room when she heard a knock on her door. She quickly sat up, wiped her ears and opened the door. To her surprise it was Celina. She wanted bashing out on her but a thought stroke her brain so she decided to pretend and play along. “Babe, I have been trying to reach you.” Sarah said awkwardly as she quickly hugged Celina. Celina stammered as she stopped her a little. “I am sorry Sarah, I had an emergency.” She said. She was trying to speak when Sarah interrupted her. “Come here babe, it’s alright. We should be celebrating our victory.” She said as she pushed Celina to the bed and quickly climbed on her. She started kissing her aggressively as she slowly used her hands and turned on the camera on her phone, she slowly kept is in a spot as she started recording the scene. Celina wanted opting out but she thought a last sex isn’t a bad idea before she kicked Sarah out….
It was really rough and intense. Sarah was lying on Celina’s laps; she was still recording and wanted including some conversations in it. Her heart was burning but she was pretending to be alright. “Thank you for helping me kick my team out. I am sure you will help me as promised.” Sarah said looking at her while Celina giggled and smiled. “Anything for you babe.” She said with a smile. They remained in the room for a while before Celina received a call from Cleo and she left hurriedly.
Sarah screamed as she broke into tears, she cried for a while before she wiped off her tears as she picked up the phone. She stared at the video and vowed not to be brought down alone as she quickly picked up her system and started working on the videos. Luckily for her, she has recorded well that Celina we obviously seen in the video. Being the professional video editor she is, she edited the clip and cut out her face, featuring Celina alone in the video. It looked so satisfying that Celina is making out with a contestant which is a stained reputation and a hindrance to her position. Sarah laughed loudly to herself. “Let’s see how you get out of this Celina.” She said to herself as she laughed again. She got dressed as she heads up to the director’s office. The man was surprised to see Sarah. “Haven’t you left already? You guys were evicted.” He asked surprising. He wanted getting her kicked out but she pleaded with him. “I have a confession to make sir and this is an interesting gist.” She said looking at him. He sighed as he stared at her for a while. “Let’s hear how interesting your gist is.” He said as he pointed a seat to her…
