she went into the bathroom without replying. After waiting for about 30 minutes without hearing from her, i entered the bathroom too…
she was beneath the shower crying her eyes out…
Me : Toun talk to me, is it about Eli?
Toun : No…
Me : Talk to me…
Toun : just leave me alone….
i stepped closer, i didnt care that the gown i was on was getting wet…
Me : I am not going anywhere…
Toun : Fine, stay there!
Me : Please Toun…
She turned to me and stared for a while….
Me : You dont have a shower cap on…
Toun : Naetochukwu Fuccked me….
I gasped.
Toun : He fuucked me in his car!…oh i feel so filthy….
i hugged her….her heart was breaking….
Me : Let it be between us…..
Toun : too late for that…..i called Abayomi and told him…I couldnt keep that away from him…
Me : what did he say?
Toun : He hung up….
Me : i am so sorry…
Toun : i just wanted to get back at him….i thought i would
feel better….i dont….i feel like drowning…..
I led her back to the room and ordered Tea and fried plantain for us….i assured her that everything would be alright…
Trying to sleep, i got a call. i intended ignoring the call but with the elections fast approaching, everybody was important…so i picked up..
Me : Hello?
caller : Tanatolo….
]
Me: Eli?
Eli: you no dey your house…hehehehe…Why you dey hide hen you knw say i go find you?
Me : Eli, leave me alone, you and i have no business
Eli : You tell me say you and Abayomi go step down, na me all of una dey use play, ba?
Me : How did you get my number?
Eli : When i finish with una, then i move to Jafar…na una i go use remind everybody who runs this town…
Me : Eli please…
Eli : As it stands now, even if una step down, or lose…them don pay for una blood…hehehehehe…
Me : who?
…he hung up…
I decided to keep the call to myself, no need to add to Toun's problem. I wondered if Timi was part of the people that could be harmed..then i thought of Jafar and decided it was right to call him..
Jafar : Tana whats good, isnt it really late?
Me : sorry, Eli just called me..
Jafar : How did he get your digits?
Me : i dont know…
Jafar : what did he say?
i told him everything…
Jafar : go back to sleep now, there is nothing to worry about…
Me : Aii, thanks Jafar…
Jafar : cool..
thr next question i asked was very stupid, only God knows how i think sometimes….
Me : are you sleeping alone?
Jafar : eeeerm….why?
I was embarrassed…so i flipped the script…
Me : wanted to know if you were alright…
Jafar : By sleeping alone?
Me : Nevermind na…you sef!
Jafar: Haha ….goodnight Tee…
Me: did you just call me Tee?
Jafar : yes….i hear your friends call you that…you have a prob with that?
Me : Not at all o…it just sounded cool…
my phone cranked, showing there was a call waiting….it was Timi…
Jafar : Sleep well…
Me : wait!
Jafar : what?
Me : You did not tell me if you were sleeping alone…
Jafar : thought we had forgotten about this…
Me : i havent…sooooooooo?
Jafar : Yes i am…
Me : simple answer you cannot say since….
He laughes and hung up…
