Brian had watched Rachel on the other side sway to
the music and the dancing. She’s getting into it, he had
mused, and had loved it. He did not mind that she was
on her third bottle of beer. ‘Who’s that man dancing?
Eish he’s a show off,’ Brian had asked Mlindos who
was handing him another beer.
‘Oh that one, he’s a kite. But never let him near
your woman. He’s a razor,’ chuckled Mlindos bobbing
his head in quiet salutation to the dancing man.
Brian knew clearly what Mlindos meant. He knew
he wouldn’t dare let his woman next to that man. The
way he was dancing and moving his waist. No, never.
As if to go and protect Rachel, Brian had excused
himself and went over to Rachel. ‘You alright babe?’
‘Yeah I’m loving this...check out the dances!’
Rachel had almost shouted into Brian’s ear leaving it
wet and ringing. Brian had looked at her and noticed
that she was only managing a sleepy gaze now as her
thin frame gawkily swayed side to side.
‘You’re drunk,’ he had said out loud enough that
only Rachel could hear. When Brian had tried to move
Rachel to the side so he could keep a closer eye on her
and maybe warn her not to drink anymore, she had
shrugged him off and staggered to the dance floor with
her arms raised up in the air.
‘Oliver, Oliver, Oliver Twist!’ Rachel was singing
as she approached the man in denim. She swung her
arms from left to right swaying to the Nigerian beat.
Very few found it easy to resist the music. They soon
joined in the dance floor, but what seemed to draw a
lot of attention was the way Rachel occasionally
dropped to a squatting position as she twisted to the
floor. She would come up pretty fast from the floor,
sway a bit from side to side and drop down equally fast.
