Chapter 8 (The senator's son 2)

We came down from the car and my bodyguards made way for us to the VIP section. We settled down on blue chairs placed on a stage. The stage was covered with red carpet. There are two stages in total. The second stage is occupied by the DJ and the MC. There was a well arranged chair in the compound and it was occupied by Micheal's well wishers.

  Caleb POV

The party is rocking and I am about to serve the VIP section. I put on the cloth given to us and went out of the kitchen with a trail of food. I climbed the small stairs to the VIP stage which is closer to the stage occupied by the DJ.

I sighted Crystal putting on blacks while people stare at her in awe, she is really a cold hearted lady. I walked to their table.

"Hi" I said, putting all the food I carried on the table.

"Hi" The Esther and Juliet answered, except the cold-hearted lady

"I want a warm tea and make sure that it is rich" Crystal said, giving order while I stared at her in awe, of all the drinks in this party, while will she asked for tea.

"OK... no problem" I said going back to the kitchen to serve the other table and later went to make her tea.

I got to the chef. The chef dished the food on the tray while I was making the tea with hot water. I started deliberating the quantity of sugar that I will put inside after making the tea. Yes she is cold hearted to the extent that she even has the guts to wear black. She won't like sugary tea.

"Hey, come and carry this food away from here" The stubborn lady broke into my thoughts, I put a little sugar and went out with the cup of tea in the tray of food.

I serve the food first before going to her

"Why did you not serve me the tea first before serving them?" she asked while taking the mug from the tray and sipping it.

"you should know the reason why? Did you want them to starve?" I replied asking two questions at the same time in an annoyed tone. 

"Here I don't care about them even if they are starved to death, anyway your tea is a perfect March to my taste" she said with a straight face.

"No thank you ohn?" I asked liking how the conversion is going between us.

"Go to Sambisa forest for thank you" She replied.

"You are just too harsh" I replied back.

"No shit... Meet me at this address tomorrow by twelve on the dot" she said handing me a paper slip 

" What if I come late?" I teased 

"Then forget about coming or else you will go back home with a broken leg," she threatened.

'okay" I replied, ending our conversation. I went away to bring more food to the remaining people including the governor's daughter who asked me what am I doing here in a waiter's clothes and I answered her sincerely. After serving the VIP section with my partners, our shift ended and another group of people took over.. I went back to the kitchen to eat before coming outside to see what was up. The Celebrant is about to cut the cake as the MC handles the situation.

"Hi everyone, it is finally time for the celebrant to cut the cake. Let's call his name Edward before cutting the cake... At the count of two... One, two go" the MC said as almost everybody shouted his name apart from some people. And you know I am part of them.

E!

D!

W!

A!

R!

D!

"Edward" They said, screaming his name while he cut the cake and people cheered him on.

"we would like to call some important person in our midst to take photos with our celebrant.. So the first person on my list is Crystal Richard" the MC called and everybody screamed.

"Can you pls come to this stage?" The MC said. But the cold-hearted lady continued sipping her juice, while her friend kept persuading her and there was a total silence in the party ground. After a while the MC called another person.

"The next person to snap a photo with our celebrant is Michael John the celebrant's best friend" The MC said as the crowd screamed. After the MC successfully called all the people at the VIP section to snap photos with the celebrant excluding Crystal and including Bella, the DJ started playing as ladies and guys move their bodies to the beat and rock each other. All of a sudden Crystal slapped a guy and sent him to the floor on the stage. She also carried a plate of hot pepper soup on the table and poured it on his body making him jump up from the VIP red carpet and dance an unrhymed dance without beat. I started laughing, the DJ stopped playing as they all viewed the scene. Some were laughing while some were angry, including the celebrant. What caught my attention is when Crystal kicked him and he fell down from the VIP season to the bare floor. This caused me to laugh harder.

 Crystal picks her black bag from the stool beside her chair and pushes the celebrant that is complaining out of the way, making him land on the red carpet in disgrace. Her bodyguard guided her through the crowd into her limousine. I went home after getting my pay for the job. It was that mean looking lady that paid me and we even exchanged contact. The mean lady was the lady I met when applying for the server job.

 I got home that night. John was not at home, maybe he is still at the party. I served myself from the food I brought from the party and ate. I also drank from the wine I brought from the party.

 After I finished eating. I put off my shirt and pants, took a quick bath, changed my shorts, jumped on the bed and drifted into my dream land, dreaming about Crystal.

   Saturday Morning

 I woke up, sat down on the bed with my leg touching the floor. I glanced at John who is sleeping on the bed opposite mine. I prayed for like ten minute. It has been ages since I prayed last. I took out the money given to me and counted it again, 'at least this money will be able to buy six textbooks' I thought in my mind. I got up from the bed, packed all my dirty clothes to wash.

  ...

 After I had finished washing my clothes around ten o'clock, I went inside the house to find John packing his own dirty clothes for laundry.

"Good morning buddy" I said.

"Good morning bro" John replied

"How is your night?" I asked.

"Very sweet" he said happily.

"There is something behind your happiness" I said.

"Yeah, I fucked two beautiful lady at the party last night. I knew you came home early yesterday night, instead of you waiting and screw those girls in bikinis, u know what I am saying" John said with a smirk

"The playboy, I pray you change" I said

"Whatever" He remarked.

"I am going to wash my clothes" he said.

"I am cooking now" I said.

"I can't wait to eat the most delicious meal in the world" he said, licking his bottom limp and leaving the room at the same time.

"What should I cook?" I said loudly for him to hear.

"Maybe yam and egg or you choose" he said out loud for me to hear.

"Ok" I said. Yeah just as you are thinking, we joined our food together, since John did not have a problem with it. I am actually the one that provided the yam and he also provided the eggs.

 I put water inside a neat pot and place it on the gas cooker. I sliced and peeled the yam into water in a bowl to rinse...

   One hour and twenty minute later

 After brushing and taking my bath, same as John. I dished out the food for me and John, walked into the room with a tray on my hand and handed a plate of food to him. He cleared the book on his reading table and placed the food on it. I also walked to my own reading table, cleared the table and placed my food on it and started eating.
