"So we go for dinner at Nobu in West London, notorious for it's ridiculously long reservations list, but he just turns up and we get a table. Let me tell you, I am slaying in my Alexander McQueen dress and Manolo Blahnik heels, all brought by him of course. Anyway, we're at the table talking, laughing, whatever. After ordering drinks he pulls out this red box. My girl, I look down and it's a Cartier box".
Stassia brags on about her latest trip to London with Ade. I've got my phone resting on my shoulder, not really listening but it's close enough to my ear hear her pauses and respond with the occasional, "yeah or really".
"What the fuck?!"
I reply realising she has stopped babbling on
"I know. An 18ct yellow gold Cartier love bracelet, Arrrrggghhh! Can you believe it!"
She continues
"Barely"
I reply nonchalantly
"He's so sweet though, he's always surprising me with little gifts and random trips. I'm telling you Kami, he might just be my prince charming."
She says now in a high pitched voice as if he was fast becoming the love of her life. Nothing like a few expensive gifts to open up the keys to a trifling bitches heart.
"How's David?!"
I ask intentionally changing the subject and simultaneously throwing a little shade.
"Oh him yeah he's just David. Everything's cool with him, but you know I do my thing, right. Wait. Hold on. It's ok it's just Dan trying to get through."
She says as if it's normal to have a string of men at your beckon call.
"Speaking of Dan, I still can't remember much from that night we spent with them in the Hilton. I can't even recall how I got home".
I bring up the subject of the nightmare night once more to see if she'll admit she witnessed my violation. I still wasn't certain if she was involved given her unscrupulous nature.
"Yeah you were passed out. I mean blacked out cold. We carried you into the car and Dan ended up driving us all the way home from London. He dropped you off first, then me and headed home. I thought I told you all this?"
She replies
"Where was Biggs?"
I ask
"Nah he left first thing in the morning. Come to think of it I can't even remember him leaving?"
She answers
"That's the thing, I been meaning to tell you but because it's still not clear in my mind.."
I attempt to tell her what happened.
"Wait hold on. It's Ade trying to get through now. Kam let me shout you back later ok. Bye."
She says cutting me off mid sentence.
"Er, ok b"
She hung up before I could finish saying bye.
Unbeknownst to her, Stassi had become my ex-best friend and instead my new frenemy. She was already the centre of my universe. Now I will literally eat, sleep and breath Stassia Santiaga until I have totally destroyed her. I text Amaya telling her to meet me at a small boutique coffee shop we often frequent in the centre of town. It's a ten minute drive for both of us to get over there.
"Late as usual, ms thang"
I say to Amya as she walks over to the table and sits down.
"To be fair you did kind of text me short notice. I was chilling with hubby, who by the way was pissed I had to leave. Don't you just love lazy Sunday afternoons"
She replies in a cheery carefree manner.
"I'm sure he'll survive for an hour or so without you"
I reply still thinking how I'm going to present the facts that are going to shatter her reality.
"I dunno, he's pretty whipped"
She says with a smitten smile
"Ok I've asked you to a public place for a reason. What I am about to tell you I'm sorry to say but, it's going to completely shock you. So I figure being in a public place will deter you from going completely crazy"
I try to ease into the conversation.
"Shit, it sounds bad. Why are we at a coffee shop and not a bar"
She jokes
"Yeah, I don't think alcohol will be a good mix with what I'm about to say".
I bring it back to a serious tone. Letting her know this is serious, no time for jokes.
"Not sure if I wanna hear this but go on"
Her voice revealing a hint of tepidity
"You remember that night Stassi and I went to London and met up with Dan and Biggs?"
I figure I start with my situation. Once I tell her everything else isn't going to want to listen to much more.
"Yeah, Sugar daddy paid for the hotel. You all got wasted in the room. Stassi was fucking Dan in the corridors and bathroom. You can't really remember the night."
She recaps what happens as if asking what else is there to know.
"Well that's the thing I've had a few flashbacks. I was wasted but not like usual. I remember laying on the bed but I couldn't move. Like at all. Couldn't speak"
I begin telling her what happened.
"So what"
She asks impatiently
"I think Biggs date raped me"
I cut straight to the point
"Whoa."
Her face animated with complete shock. There's an awkward silence.
"Say something"
I demand
"I mean, what makes you say that Kami."
She questions
"He was on top of me Amaya. I remember him over me kissing me and not being able to move or speak. I blacked out. When I was at your party I had a flash back of him raping me"
I answer rather emotionally. It was as if I was reliving the whole ordeal explaining it to her.
"What the fuck. You need to go to the police. Why didn't you go to the police?"
She says frantically
"And say what? I think I may have been raped. It'll be his word against mine. Plus the amount of coke, weed and alcohol in our system, no one would take me seriously"
"Fuck. I'm so sorry I wasn't there Kami. You've been keeping all this to yourself. What are you going to do?"
"That's the thing. When I came back around and realised he was raping me I saw Stassi standing in the room?"
I continue letting her know the story continues
"Wait, so what are you telling me she watched you get raped?"
She asks with disbelief
"I'm just telling you exactly what I remember"
I snap insulted by the mocking tone and manner
"Don't take this the wrong way but you lot were pretty waved. Are you absolutely sure, because you can't just go around saying these things".
"Of course I'm fucking sure. Why do you think it's taken so long to even speak to you about it.
"What!? Noooo. No way. Stassia our friend, would never stand there and watch anyone let alone one of us get raped"
She struggles to comprehend everything I'm telling her, not knowing the worst is still to come.
"I dunno maybe she thought we were just having sex. Maybe she didn't think he was raping me." What's strange though is that she hasn't said anything about it. I've asked her if she saw anything happen between us and she's said no."
"You know if Stassi walked into the room and saw anything happen she would have mentioned it to you by now. Come on this is Stassi, your childhood friend. I mean we're close but you two are like sisters."
"Yeah but how well do you ever really know anyone?"
"Ok so you need to tell her what you have told me and confront her about it once and for all?"
"I don't trust her"
"What where's all this coming from?"
I think now's a good time to tell her. Here goes.
"Ok. Brace yourself there's no easy way to break this to you so I'm just going to let you watch it for yourself."
I find the video evidence on my phone of Stassia and Jae, her beloved long term boyfriend and minted future husband, fucking on her dressing room table. I hand her the phone. She sits and watches in silence - expressionless. At the end of the one and a half minute clip, she places the phone on the table.
"Excuse me for a minute." She runs off to the ladies bathroom.
I wasn't sure what to do in her absence. Should I chase after her or give her some space. I decide the latter. I'd just rail roaded her like a runaway steam train crashing at full speed. After about five minutes she returns. Her face flushed and eyes shiny, puffy and red.
"What the fuck have you just shown me? Who's that in the video and why the fuck are you filming it? How long has this been on your phone? Fucking fuck! Shitting bollocks! Son of bitch! That motherfucking hoe! Jae! My Jae out of all the fucking men that stinking bitch goes after my boyfriend."
She rants. Bangs the table repeatedly with her fist and swivels in the chair as if the news of her unfaithful boyfriend and unscrupulous best friend fucking had given her gastroenteritis. I aim to calm her down the waitress behind the coffee counter now looking at us with a concerned and disturbed look. I can't get a word in edge ways.
"Amaya. Maya! Calm down, we're gonna get us thrown out. Listen, I didn't know how to tell you. Don't shoot the messenger but it happened at your barbecue. I needed the bathroom. The main one was being used so I ran up to your en-suit. As I'm about to leave they come in your bedroom. At first I thought it was you and Jae. When I saw it was her I was gob smacked. The only thing I could think to do is film it."
"I don't even know what to say. I'm lost for words. This isn't happening."
She begins to cry
"Awe sweety don't cry. Come on I know it's a lot to take in but I wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't tell you. Listen. Listen to me. Don't get sad or mad, get even"
The first step in my plan to eradicate Stassia is to get Amaya on side. I'll need a trusted accomplice who has a vested interest in her complete annihilation.
"I'm going to make that slag of a bitch, cheating backstabbing hoe pay."
She replies, much to my amusement.
"We both are. Don't do anything hasty. The hardest thing for you now is to carry on as if everything is normal. Especially with Jae, because you live with him. We're going to have to be smart. I've got a plan"
I say needing her to get out of her feelings and put her revenge thinking hat on.
"Wait, who said anything about Jae. Kami in case you hadn't notice my man is paid. Old money paid. I aint about to loose that. All this work I've put in over the past few years training him how I like. I'll be fucked if he's going anywhere. Besides, he's a man I expect him to cheat, fuck up at some point. But Stassia, she has broken girl code major, and if what you're telling me is true about what happened in London. Then this THOT needs to be dealt with, big time."
She replies much to my amazement. Surprising how quick money will make her forgive someone.
"Cool whatever works for you but I know imma fuck up Stassia's and Biggs's whole life. Wait this is her ringing me back from earlier".
I answer my phone
"Hey, Kam, sorry about earlier I needed to catch up with Ade about something"
Say's Stassia, oblivious to her soon to be demise.
"Hey, I'm just here with Amaya, your on loud speaker. What's up?"
I ask
"Hey Mya, so Ade would like to take the three of us on an all expenses paid holiday to Nigeria!"
She exclaims with excitement.
"Ok sounds good."
I answer. Amaya remains silent.
"You guys don't sound very excited"
She replies slightly disappointed with our reaction.
"You've caught us at an awkward time that's all. In fact let me shout you back"
I say and hang up
"No way I'm coming. You gotta be out your mind. You can go but I'm out. If I'm around that girl I'm due to bitch slap that man stealing tramp."
Amaya say clearly still upset. Guess she's going to be this way for a while, but I really need her to get over it and fast.
"Bearing in mind she's calling me to invite me on a trip with a guy that was initially interested in me"
I add a little fuel to the fire.
"Are you going with them?"
She asks
"Yup, I'm going alright and when I get back you and I are going to start operation KISS.
I reply
"What does that stand for?"
"It means Kill & Isolate Stassia Santiaga"
"You actually thought up a name. I don't know about all that. I aint looking to kill anyone and go prison or no shit like that."
She replies
"Not literally. We're going to kill everything about her. Starting with all the guys she's been finessing. Then we're going to isolate her by revealing to the world who she truly is.
Are you in?"
I ask
"Dam sure I'm in. Let's do this."
Game On!
