Chapter 47

Driving outside Grillaz, I noticed a group of guys talking, in-between them was Jafar and Aji. The discussion seemed to worry Jafar, as his right hand was at the back of his head and his left on his waist. Toun tapped me on the shoulder.

Me: what?

Toun: I am stained.

Toun: Tana, what is going on in your mind?

Me: what do you mean?

We were having this discussion as she fixed her pad on her black laced panties in the room's bathroom. I always told her I liked her c------s, this night was no different.

Toun: stop looking at my p---y and tell me what is wrong with you

Me: I still don't get…

Toun: you were all over Jafar's matter, you were almost biting Fatima.

Me: hmmm, mrs Exaggerator.

Toun: stop it at once. It is Naetochukwu for now, you say you want to avoid drama, you are acting like a drama queen!

Me: ok…I don't know what is wrong. But I think I just wanted Jafar's attention. With everything going on with Timi, I needed someone's attention.

Toun: forget Jafar dear, I know you are vulnerable now, but focus Tee.

Me: thank you..

While she settled to take her bath, I went back to my room to have mine, I promised to come back to her when I was done. As I went to my room, I wondered what was happening with Jafar and Fatima. Toun's voice echoed in my head so I blanked the thoughts and tried thinking of Timi, but Annie appeared, so I decided to do what I do when my head is filled. I sang a gospel song…

You are the lord…..

That is your name…

You will never share your glory….

I sang on as i stood beneath the shower, and allowed the water clean my soul…but after a while Timi and Jafar's faces penetrated the song…they penetrated the water….i admitted to myself, I was attracted to Jafar and inlove with Timi. And I must eliminate both feelings if I was to be normal again..

Toun was in her pink nightie when I got to her room, she was watching an episode of Jerry-Springer, I joined her while we muched pringles. It didn't bother me that I was missing lectures, I knew I would cover-up…what bothered me was National and the fact that we might lose the election. Toun started laughing at something Jerry was saying, that broke the spell…I decided to relax…Abuja was for relaxation. At almost mid-night, Abayomi staggered into the room, smelling drunk and singing songs that only he must have written. I stood up to leave..

Abayomi: Tana..you don't have to leave, you can stay with us tonight..

Without looking up from the television, Toun smiled. Abayomi was a h---y goat whenever he was drunk.

Me: ode..goodnight jare..

Abayomi: walahi…you go like am..

I laughed as I stepped out of the room and closed their door. Infront of my room was Jafar, he had a bucket of wine with him.

Me: what are you doing infront of my room?

Jafar: I came to see you

Me: hmmm..now that you have seen me…you can go back to your room..

Jafar: can I come in?

Me: I think that would be a bad idea…

Jafar: for you or for me?

Me: for us..

Jafar: I like the sound of 'us'…

he smiled casually… standing infront of me, I could smell his sweet scent…my heart was beating fast.

Me: only 15minutes…

Jafar: cool…

I didn't say it out…but I like that sound of 'us' also…
