Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 24
The waiter greeted us politely. I stared at the menu and was scared out of my wits. I asked for water. As planned, I lied I had eaten so much at a friend’s birthday party.
My stomach rumbled as I watched the others munch chicken steaks and grilled fish. Susan grabbed the bottle of wine and pressed the bell for the waiter.
Funmi faced Susan ‘I’ve already ordered for a bottle of sparkling cider.’
Susan hissed. ‘Funmi, not today. A glass of alcohol will not send me to hell.’
The waiter arrived and uncorked the bottle. Susan poured wine into her glass and filled Ronke’s glass.
‘You want some?’ Susan said, holding the bottle over the empty glass in front of me.
Funmi stopped her. ‘She is not interested.’
Susan chuckled and placed the bottle on the table. The waiter arrived with the sparkling cider.
After filling our glasses with cider, Funmi turned to me. ‘Tinuke, are you sure you don’t want to eat anything?’
I shook my head. ‘I’m fine.’
Funmi’s hand dropped on the table. ‘For Tinuke’s sake, I think we should introduce ourselves.’
