After It Happened novel Chapter 24

I'd looked everywhere downstairs. In the kitchen, in the dining room, and she's not upstairs. The cheering group was still gathered in the living room. Maybe Denise was cheering with them. I went closer.

"That girl get mind oo. I think say she get boyfriend." (That girl is really brave. I thought she has a boyfriend.)

"Abii. Tosin don enjoy shaa." (Right? Tosin has really enjoyed.)

I hoped what I thought wasn't what was happening. She couldn't be...No, she wasn't that drunk. I pushed past the crowd to the front and like I thought, there was Denise dancing...no, grinding on that perv.

I took in deep breaths like my mom taught me to avoid killing someone this evening. I dragged Denise away from him and stood in front of her ignoring her drunk whines.

"Ah ah na. Wetin?(What's your problem?)" Tosin grumbled as he tried to push me aside.

Control flew out the window at that point. I dragged him by his shirt so that his face was directly in front of mine. We were about the same size so I could take him on if I wanted to.

"You're the older person here. You should act like it and respect your perverted self."

"What the hell did you..."

"Denise come we're leaving." I said ignoring Tosin's statement and dragging a whining Denise.

"Kelechi what happened? Why are you guys going now?" It was Trish.

Feeling irritated, I just replied with "We really need to be home now. Bye."

Denise was so quiet in the car that I assumed she had fallen asleep. When she spoke up I jumped a little.

"Aunty Amara will kill me oo. I'm so drunk right now. What's the time?"

I chuckled lightly. So now she realizes the consequences of her actions.

"There's water beside you. Drink it and sprinkle some on your face. There's mint somewhere too. For ur breath."

"Thank you. No wonder she called you her Messiah."

I simply stared at the girl beside me shocked for a moment.

"You've never mentioned her since everything happened."

"Who?"

"Who else? Your... Nevermind."

We were in front of her house. I glanced at my watch. 6:31. We weren't too late.
