Chapter 37: Chapter 37

Lisha looked surprised to see Nikki in her room immediately she got out of the shower. Though they had been on talking terms lately but it was mostly like housemates and not sisters, so seeing her in her room left her shocked.

"When did you get in?"

"Just now," Nikki replied with a smile.

"Oh.. okay then," Lisha turned back to her tote bag that was placed on her bed. Then she moved to her wardrobe as her eyes raked through it for what to wear, something that would be suitable for the bachelor's Eve.

"So, I heard you saying the Bachelor's Eve is at AMERIGO resort few days ago," Nikki continued as she moved closer to her sister. Lisha glanced at her while wondering why Nikki was asking her, she hoped she didn't have any intention of performing her nonsense there again 'csuse she was done allowing her to walk over her.

"Yeah, that's true," she replied before moving closer to her dressing mirror after picking out a simple dress.

"The bridal shower is also at the same resort," Nikki announced and that grabbed Lisha's attention and she turned back to her quickly.

"Really?" She asked while packing her long hair.

"Yeah, so, I was thinking we should go together,"Nikki proposed.

Lisha nodded, "Sure, why not? But what of Miracle?"

"I already dropped her at my parents place," Nikki enunciated. To Lisha it was somehow quick 'cause she'd just chatted with Miracle some minutes ago before she decided it was time to get dressed for the bachelor's Eve and then went to shower.

"Oh okay, so, are you ready?" Lisha questioned as she tucked her body into the clothes and then walked back to her bed to pick up her tote bag.

"Yeah, I'll just pick my bag."

"Meet me downstairs then," Lisha said before walking out of her room while Nikki went back to her room with a beautiful smile on her face.

For the past two weeks, she'd been on good terms with Lisha and they hadn't had any disagreement at all, though Lisha still had suspicion because Nikki just changed overnight, to Lisha, it was as clear as crystal that Nikki had something up her sleeve but she decided to play along.

Not quite long, Nikki got out of the house with her bag, then she joined Lisha in the car before they drove out of the house, the drive to AMERIGO resort was a silent one and Nikki had liked it, she didn't have time to start pretending again.

Immediately they got to the beach resort, Nikki went straight to the beach so far they were having the bridal shower at the beach side while Lisha entered the resort.

"Hey," Lisha shouted as she barged into the room.

"Gosh! Lisha, what if I was naked?" Mark complained as he looked up from the bed.

"And so? What are you covering?" She smirked before walking over to Jimi who was seated on the couch.

"So, you didn't see me enter?" She questioned while eyeing him.

"Sorry about that but wait you're also dressed in casual short?" Jimi asked while accessing her clothes, she was in a white shorts just like the other guys and a black T-shirt.

She shrugged, "Of course," then she sat at the edge of the bed and turned to Mark.

"Just tonight, you can't stay away from your wife-to -be, not like you guys won't see each other tomorrow oo," she accused.

Confusion was written all over Mark's face, "What do you mean?"

"Stop pretending, the two of you decided to come to this resort, I know you made Kemi come and that's because you want to sneak to her place in the midnight but maybe you've forgotten I'm here," she explained as she touched her chest while Mark chuckled.

"Wait, Kemi is also here?" Jimi queried in surprise and Lisha turned to him.

"Like you don't know, you guys don't even know how to pretend at all," she snorted.

"Kemi didn't tell me, Mark, did she tell you?"

He shook his head, "Not at all but it's a good idea though," he ended it with a smirk and Lisha smacked his head.

"Lisha you need to stop this, I'll be a married man by tomorrow, you can't just keep smacking me in front of my wife," he said while rubbing his hand at the back of his head.

She brought out the water bottle from her bag and gulped down its full content before replying, "As if it's new to her, anyway, where are the others or did they ditch you?" She asked in a mocking tone.

"They're at the bar," Jimi replied.

"Oh, let's go and join them abi you want to do the party in your room?" She dropped her tote bag by her side in preparation to leave.

"We were waiting for you," Jimi replied.

"Thank you, I'm here now," she stood up while dashing them a smile. The duo got up and they all walked to the bar that was already blasting with music and shimmering lights.

While the other guys greeted Lisha, she only plastered a fake smile on her face, hiding herself behind it to conceal her feelings, since she wasn't close with them. She pointed her fingers to her eyes and then back at Mark who was already dancing with other girls, apparently, his friends came with whores who were now all over the guys. Jimi knew better than to dance with them though when she was right there and she'd even dashed the whpres deadly glares.

"Hey, won't you dance?" Jimi whispered into her ears after noticing she'd been sitting and looking at them ever since they got there.

"I feel weak," Lisha said gently as she tried to focus on others on the dance floor.

"What's wrong?" Jimi asked with concern laced in his tone as he noticed she was getting pale.

"I don't know, I think I have to go back to the room and rest," she said while trying to stand up.

Jimi held her hand, "Let me take you to the room," he offered and she nodded.

"Hey, are you guys leaving?" Mark literally screamed because of the loud music.

"Yeah, Lisha isn't feeling too good," Jimi screamed back and Mark nodded.

Then they both headed towards the room.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He inquired as she rested her head on the pillow while he sat beside her wondering what could have made her so weak when she was very agile some minutes back but maybe she was just stressed or didn't like the atmosphere of the bar.

"Yeah, I will, you can leave now," Lisha pushed his hand away from her body

"No, I'll stay with you."

"I don't want to spoil the fun, nothing is wrong with me, and you know I can handle myself," she said with a forced grin before turning to the other side leaving him staring at her back.

"Are you sure?" He pestered on.

She nodded and he edged his way out of the room but not without glancing at her and asking her if she would be okay.

"What's wrong with her?" Mark queried immediately Jimi walked into the bar.

"She's just weak, she says," he shrugged before pulling out the stool Lisha sat on earlier.

"Maybe she stressed herself during the day," Mark reasoned.

Jimi shrugged before sitting on the high-backed chair while Mark went back to the dance floor. After Jimi ordered for a champagne, halfway through it, Nikki walked up to him dressed in a revealing bikini.

"Hey," she greeted while sitting on the other chair beside him.

He turned to her swiftly, "Hi, why aren't you with the girls?" He asked with raised brows hoping she wasn't here for any of her funny tactics, he only forgave her last time because of Lisha, this time he wouldn't do that if she dared any nonsense.

Her lips curved into a seductive smile, "The party hasn't started whereas I came here to get my jacket," she touched her white bet jacket that didn't do much covering her body.

"In the bar?" He inquired while she shook her head.

"Nope," then she ordered for the champagne too while Jimi looked up at the TV.

"Cheers," Nikki offered with her enticing smile and he clinked his champagne flute with hers. She smiled seductively at him while he turned back to the TV.

"Lisha isn't around here, where is she?" Nikki queried while her eyes dashed around the bar in search for her sister but she didn't even see her shadow let alone her.

"In the room," he replied without looking at her.

"Why?" She pressed on being very inquisitive, she wanted to know what was going on.

"She was feeling weak," he responded with his attention still focused on the TV while Nikki smiled to herself.

She looked away from him and transferred her focus to the TV, then she realized they were showing a scene where a guy was trying to harass a lady.

"You know Lisha is a rape victim?" She started.

Jimi snapped his head towards her that instant, "What!" He dropped his champagne flute that instant. How could that be possible? Lisha was stronger and wiser than anyone raping her or was she gang raped, no, he shook his head, it couldn't be. Lisha was still a virgin, though they hadn't gone past making out but he was sure of that fact but then something still pushed him to listen to Nikki's gibberish or maybe not.

Nikki dropped the champagne flute on the table and turned to him, "Why do you look surprised? Didn't she tell you? I believed you were cool with it."

Jimi shook his head as he was still shocked to form any sentence.

"I thought you guys knew everything about each other, she actually got pregnant then and aborted it," Nikki continued after realizing she had the effect she wanted on him.

"What!" Jimi exclaimed.

"Well, there are lot of things you don't know then, she actually fell into depression after that, it was when she came out of the depression that she became this crazy girl," Nikki narrated while Jimi only stared at her wide in shock.

"I see there are lot of things she's hiding from you," she said before taking a sip from her champagne while Jimi was still stupefied to talk or even think. Why was he even wavering?

"I guess she didn't trust you enough to tell you but I can't blame her, she's gone through a lot, she...."

Jimi cut in, "That's enough!" Then he rose after he could get a grip of himself.

"Why are you standing?" Nikki raised her head to look at him.

"I need to check on Lisha," he replied prepared to leave.

"What!" Her eyes widened, he glanced at her before taking his first step while Nikki quickly grabbed his hand.

"I thought you said she needed rest."

He took a rather disdain glance at her hand restraining his, she dropped his hand reluctantly despite her growing desperation to have an amorous touch of him.

"Yeah."

"Let her rest then," she said in a convincing manner hoping he won't leave.

"I have to go see her, thank you," and then he left even before she could think of any response, her eyes trailed behind him.

Nikki smiled to herself as she gulped down the champagne in joy, both missions had been accomplished successfully but then what if the third mission hadn't been accomplished or...

She quickly sprawled to her feet and as she proceeded to leave, a guy grabbed her hand.

"Hey beauty, mind dancing with me?" He asked with a smile Nikki found disgusting, she withdrew her hand from his quickly and dashed him a glare.

He moved closer to her and trailed his hand on her exposed body, " You look so..."

She hissed before pushing him away, he staggered and she glared at him before walking away hurriedly.

Jimi opened the door quietly and as he walked into the room, what greeted him got him astounded, his eyes almost bulged out of its socket as anger welled inside him.
