Chapter 10: Chapter 10
“Guys, Xavier would be throwing a party tonight, I hope you'd be coming?” Zhavia asked her friends at the table.
“Yeah, but isn't your mom home?” Anya asked.
“Naah, she’s gone on a trip.” She answered sipping on her iced tea.
“What time does the party start?” Narcia asked. It was a Friday and a good time to throw a party.
“ 8 ish,” Zhavia said.
“Okay, we'd be there.” She said to her friend.
“Its Friday than it's Saturday Sunday what
Its Friday than it's Saturday Sunday what
Its Friday than it's Saturday Sunday what
Its Friday than it's Saturday Sunday what
Its Friday than it's Saturday Sunday what
Its Friday than its Saturday, Sunday what..”
The guys sang at the table attracting the rest of the student population. Most of the students started to drum and beatbox to the song making a joyous melody. The bell rang signalling the end of lunch.
“We’d catch you guys later, and I hope you’re picking us up?” Anya asked no one in particular.
“Of course we will.” Zaid winked at her making her blush.
“Hey, Zara,” Anya said as they entered the house. Courtney had left for school so she was staying with Narcia and Myra.
“How was school?” She asked.
“It was alright, hey we have a party at Zhav's place tonight,” Myra told.
“Alright, stay safe and don’t do what I won’t do.” She said to the girls as they climbed up to their room
Soon, it was almost time for the party and the girls were all dolled up and ready for the night.
“We going to party and have a good night.” Anya sang off-key.
“Slow down girl, chill,” Narcia said as the doorbell rang.
“ We move!” Myra added as they walked out of the house locking the door behind them.
“You guys look stunning tonight,” Zaid added winking at Anya making her blush.
“You mean, she looks stunning,” Narcia emphasised on her, making everyone laugh. Her house wasn’t far from Zhav's in a couple of minutes, they had arrived.
Zhavia came out with Sean and Xavier to welcome the girls. Sean went in with Zhav, Xavier with Myra.
“And then there were three,” Narcia said.
“Come on, let’s go.” Anya dragged her inside the house. The music was loud. People were kissing at the doorway, some puking their guts out on the front lawn.
Narcia craned her neck to see if she would find Reign but she didn’t. Anya and Zaid we’re nowhere in sight.
“And then there was one.” She said as she walked to the kitchen, picked a soda and then walked out of the house since it was becoming too stuffy.
She sat on the swing staring into the skies, enjoying the silence.
Shakira's Hips don’t lie started to play from inside as she sang along to it bobbing her head while sipping on her soda.
“Ladies up in here tonight
No fighting
We got the refugees up in here (no fighting)
No fighting
Shakira, Shakira
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), Bonita (sí)
Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
Oh, baby, when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Reading the signs of my body (Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (no fighting)
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see, baby, this is perfection?
Hey, girl, I can see your body moving
And it's driving me crazy
And I didn't have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing (yeah)
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody can ignore the way you move your body, girl (just move)
And everything so unexpected, the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it (let's go)
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), Bonita (sí)
Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
Oh, baby, when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Reading the signs of my body (no fighting)
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (no fighting)
And I am starting to feel you, boy
Come on, let's go, real slow
Don't you see, baby, así es perfecto?
They know I am on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel it's right
All the attraction, the tension
Don't you see, baby, this is perfection? (Shakira, Shakira)
Oh, boy, I can see your body moving
Half animal, half-man
I don't, don't know what I'm doing
But you seem to have a plan
My will and self-restraint
Have come to fail now, fail now
See, I am doing what I can, but I can't so you know
That's a bit too hard to explain (Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
Baila en la Calle de Noche (yeah)
Baila en la Calle de día (let's go)
Baila en la Calle de Noche
Baila en la Calle de día
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man wants to speak Spanish
¿Cómo se llama? (Sí), Bonita (sí)
Mi casa, su casa (Shakira, Shakira)
Oh, baby, when you talk like that
You know you got me hypnotized
So be wise (sí) and keep on (sí)
Reading the signs of my body
Señorita, feel the conga
Let me see you move as you come from Colombia
Yeah (ladies sí) (yeah yeah)
(Hey, yeah)
¡Mira en Barranquilla se baila así, say it!
En Barranquilla se baila así (yeah)
Hey, bra!
Yeah, she's so sexy, every man's fantasy
A refugee like me back with the Fugees from a third world country
I go back like when 'Pac carried crates for Humpty Humpty
We leave the whole club dizzy
Why the CIA wanna watch us?
Colombians and Haitians
I ain't guilty, it's a musical transaction
Bo bop so bop, no more do we snatch ropes
Refugees run the seas 'cause we own our boats (no fighting)
I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I'm starting to feel you, boy
Come on, let's go, real slow
Baby, like this, is perfect(no fighting)
Oh, you know I'm on tonight, my hips don't lie
And I am starting to feel it's right
The attraction, the tension
Baby, like this, infection
No fighting
No fighting
She got up from the swing and started to whine her waist to the music.
“Someone's got sexy moves.” Reign said as he held her waist as she grinds on him.
“Where have you been?” He asked as she turned to face him.
“I was here, it was getting quite stuffy inside. I couldn’t find you either.” She defended as she sat back on the swing.
“I was with the guys, but they dispersed, so I decided to look for you.” He added sitting beside her as they talked for a while enjoying each other’s company.
After a while, they heard a commotion inside, and it was getting serious by the minute.
“Stay here and let me go and check.” He said as he entered the house. He could recognize who they were just by their dressing.
What did Rahul's men want here?
He walked towards them and asked what they wanted but it rather turned bloody. They started to attack as people run out. Myra, Anya, Xavier and Sean made it out in peace. They were looking for Narcia and Zaid. Zaid went to the back of the house and caught Narcia right before she entered the house.
“Where are the rest?” She asked trying to free herself.
“Calm down, they’re out front.” He said as he led her there. She runs to hug the girls thanking God they were good.
“Where’s Reign?” She voiced out.
“He’s going to be fine, he asked me to take you, girls home,” Zaid said as they entered the car and he drove.
I hope you can handle this man. Zaid silently added.
“Hey Jay, can we ask you a question?” Narcia queried as she and Myra skyped him.
“Okay, go ahead.” He said walking to his study.
“Where’s Green?” Myra asked.
“You remember him?” Jay answered with a question.
“Of course I do, but do you have any idea where he is?” She inquired.
“The last I heard of him, he was in London. I haven’t heard from him since then.” He told.
“Could I get his contact?” She asked.
“I would send it in the morning, get some sleep.” He assured.
“Thanks, talk to you later,” Narcia said hanging up.
“Such a wild, and unforgettable night,” Myra added.
“Tell me about it, let's try to get some sleep,” Narcia said as they climbed up to bed.
Green Reynolds, I hope all is well with you, I’ve missed you, man. Jay texted.
I miss you more, bro. He replied.
