Chapter eight

It was very early in the morning, I was already awake. My elder sister Tolu as gone back to school, and I was the only one at home. Immediately it was six o clocks, and I left to join the morning prayer, as usual, I was told to lead the chorus after which my mom read some Bible passages which were the Book of proverb chapter 22 verse 6 which says train up a child in the way he should go that when he is old he will never depart for it.

"you see our good lord forbid it for me to keep shut and wash someone going against his will".

I knew she was referring to me. I have never been the way she wanted, she care so much about being in charge of what we wear, and what we eat but she was too busy to know the friends we keep and how far are we cooping at school.

I have always been the opposite of her, am always myself I never tried pleasing her, cause I hate living under someone's shadows, I am way closer to my dad whom I refer to as " sugar daddy ".

Immediately after the devotion, I sat beside my dad.

"Dad, I what to ask you a question "

"come one, my babe, ask what you want to"

"Dad, am sixteen can I have a boyfriend?

"not sweetheart, having a male friend is okay but being in a sexual or romantic relationship is not okay"

"does that mean I can't have a boyfriend?

"A casual relationship is okay but you can't have a thing with them"

"thing, what does it mean to have a thing with someone?

"A thing means sex, in sex, there is no love it's just lust and desire and this is what a dummy does, sex can kill, it has destroyed a lot of teenagers' live because they didn't understand the purpose of it. It was originally made for a married couple but nowadays everyone what's to cum. You see gays, bisexuals, and a lot more, you see teenage girls given men a browjob ". I did understand what he meant by cum or a browjob but I knew it was related to sex.

"so daughter you see do not ever have a thing with anyone"

"Dad jimi is not anyone besides I am still a virgin".

"you can date Jimi but it must be a causal dating no sex, no touching of sexual part". this time he was sounding more like an order.

............,...........................

That morning Jimi got up, and he walk to his father's library Mr. Agayi was always a busy man who was never at home he travels from one country to another alongside his wife.

"Daddy, can I take to you for a few minutes?

"but make it brief "

"Dad, can I have a girlfriend?

"Girlfriend? No jimi you can't"

"Why I love Kira, I do "

"Jimi don't be fooled between love, sex, and desire they aren't the same "

"I know Dad I love Kira I always want to see her smile, dad it's not a sexual desire besides she is not an object "

"no sex promise?

"yes I promise, dad am still a virgin and she's not a cum girl"
