We sha got to the beach sha. The way Eri and Benso were just playing their fake love inside the car kept annoying me. Me I kuku know she likes him, if they want to be dating, shebi they will say it ni instead of all these their yeye show every time.

As we got down, the boys decided to carry all the loads and asked us to go in front. After walking down to the beach house that we got, which I wasn't sure our 70k was enough to get.

We chattered car, got drinks, kept money for a sun, got beach house, we will still buy food. All the money can't reach for all of these.

"The boys will stay on this side while the girl will stay here". Benson announced.

I don't even like how he use to do as if he is the one that pack all of us together. Directing and ordering everything.

We all got changed and Eri wore a different bucket hat from the one she packed in the morning. It made me wonder where she got that from but I did not wonder for too long because I heard her thanking Benson for it when we stepped out.

Wahala [Problem]!!! This their love no go die ooo.

We spread cloth and arranged the foldable chairs that was brought out on the beach sand and sat around it catching cruise for the better part of the morning before we all scattered.

"Let's go to the water na". Dayo told Eri who exchanged looks with Benson before following Dayo.

Tayo and Jason went to get the foods while Benson stayed back with Cecilia and I. He said he was tired from doing all the arrangements.

"Don't think of it, we are going to university next year". Cecilia told Benson. I wasn't sure what she was talking about but they seemed to understand each other.

"What's your own there? Do you think you too can hide forever?" He replied her.

"Hide? It's not me hiding na". She told him and he shook her head at her focusing back on Eri and Dayo who were playing by the waters.

Dayo whispered something into Eri's ear making Benson mood change all of a sudden. He just started drinking his Chapman quietly. As if Cecilia noticed, she too started chatting on her phone instead of talking to him.

I kept noticing the atmosphere until Benson stood up in anger and left. Immediately my attention turned to Dayo and Eri, and I saw Dayo carrying Eri both of them engrossed in their play.

When Jason and Tayo returned they asked of Benson.

"He don vex commot, abeg make we chop ( He has left in anger, please let's eat)". Cecilia said.

Tayo went to call Dayo and Eri while Jasonwas trying to find out what happened.

"Who vex him?" Jason asked. Cecilia did not say anything, she just referred to Dayo and Eri with her eyes and Jason nodded in understanding, his mouth forming a "o" shape.

I guess a lot was happening that I wasn't exactly aware of. Maybe Benson likes Eri too.

As Eri returned, she carried the last Chapman which I quickly picked.

"It's mine!" I told her knowing how much she liked Chapman. What's my own.

She carried the half Chapman which belonged to Benson, maybe she knew or not, I sha told her.

"It's for Benson ooo". I told her.

"Thought he said not to call him that. Besides it just Benson". She replied with pride and downed the drink. She was almost done drinking before the boys attention turned to her.

"Wait.... that's Benson's drink ooo". Jason shouted! It was so alarming, I thought something had happened.

They quickly collected it from her like it was some sort of poison and before we knew it, Eri was down. I was so confused, why did she faint?

"She fainted?" I asked quite concerned about her.

"She's knocked out! That's Chapman plus skushies". Tayo said with worry.

Skushies? It's one crazy alcoholic drink that guys take but I did not know Benson already drinks.

"Wait... all of you are drinking it?" I asked the boys and they shook their head.

"Just Benson". Dayo said.

"What do we do with he let like this?" Cecilia asked. It was then Benson returned looking confused by the look of everyone.

"What?" He asked.

"Eri drank your Chapman". Jason told him. He became immediately worried and carried her with him heading towards the beach house.

"I will follow him". Tayo said immediately standing up to go after them. He ran behind them picking up Eri's fallen bucket hat. I decided to follow them and do amebo, so I quietly went behind them.

Benson just laid her in bed and covered her after pouring several water on her head which woke her up but eventually, she fell asleep.

"Will she be fine sha?" Tayo asked Benson who just nodded in guilt, he could have just carried his thing with him instead of leaving it behind.

"Ok ooo, I will stay here with her. You go an have fun". Tayo said but Benson insisted on staying in.

"It's my fault okay? I'd join you guys out here later once I'm comfortable with leaving her alone". Benson replied.

"Oh, you think I would leave you with my sister in the room, away from sight? No way!" Tayo told him.

"Haba now Tayo, you don't even trust me". Benson replied.

"See, not with my sister. I'd stay with her". Tayo told him and he left the siblings together, coming back out to reassure everyone that Eri was fine.

"Don't carelessly drop your drinks like that please". Dayo told him and he just nodded.

We had tons of fun, played games and even when Tayo joined us we were still having fun. Benson drank more of his thing and got quite tipsy, Tayo went back to check on his sister with concerned Cecilia. The rest of us just played by the water side, ran around and laughed a lot.
