Birds With Broken Wings

5b* Four of Them

Dedicated to Iyanuoluwa-Temi. You guys are seeing this update because today is her birthday.

Like I said in the last chapter, how do you think the night will end for Dave and Dunni?

And well, I sorta rushed this chapter because I wanted to update today so...

DAVE

I walked away.

Walked away from her, walked to the bar and it was after I had poured myself a drink that I noticed that Wale was also at the bar too.

He was standing at the other side of the bar the bar table was between him and I found myself walking towards him.

He wasn't alone but he didn't seem to have any company either. There was a girl seated not far from him but they didn't seem to be together either.

Wale seemed angry with the way he was jamming his fingers against his phone's screen all in the name of pressing it while the girl in a blue hijab beside him was just sipping her drink as she casually observe the party.

She sat with the demeanor of her Queen watching her subjects and it was when I walked closer and got to their front that I realized that she was Nadia Sulaiman.

The Queen Bee and Ice Queen and The Bitch.

I honestly expected nothing less.

Someone pulled out a barstool beside me and I turned to see Dunni sitting down the right in front of Wale leaving me with no option but to sit in front of Nadia.

Wale looked up at the intrusion while Nadia just outrightly ignored us as if people didn't just join them.

Wale's eyes zeroed in on my first and he looked at me worriedly before his lips parted and his mouth moved to form the words, "Are you okay?"

I mouthed yes even though I wasn't okay.

There was a tingling sensation in my legs, my arms were starting to feel numb and at intervals, tiny dots were swirling in my eyes.

It was probably just a matter of minutes.

And instead of walking away right now, I stayed. Wale looked like he didn't believe me but he didn't push it anyway, he just turned his attention to Dunni.

"And Dunni, are you okay? Why are you sulking?"

Her head jerked up immediately at his question and she just exploded.

"No, I'm not okay! I ignored the fact that he had been stylishly touching me inappropriately since I got there? And do you know what he did? He had the nerve to tell me to follow him upstairs to come and ride him!! What kind of uncultured lunatic and barbarian says that to a girl he doesn't even know before or any girl at all?"

I gulped down the whole content in my cup, knowing fully well that it was going to aggravate everything that was starting to go wrong with my body.

Then I brought the cup down and crushed it angrily under the bar table.

"Who's that?" Wale asked, his tone dead with masked anger.

"I don't know him, he just..." She turned towards the direction of the dartboard, probably thinking she'd be able to single him out and point at him for Wale only for her to trail off abruptly and she turned back again with her eyes closed.
