Chapter 16 They left the hotel around midday, and the drive back to the house was a quiet one. She tried getting him in a conversation a couple of times, but gave up after a few monotonous answers from him. All that had happened in the last few days were out of the ordinary for him, but what happened with Mr. Salami yesterday was the most disturbing one of all. He didn’t know if he could keep living in the house. There was no way he could unknow what he already knew about Mr. Salami, and the incidence in the car would haunt him for the rest of his life. He saw Mr. Salami’s car when they drove into the compound and was glad that at least the man didn’t kill himself yesterday. All his life, he had thought of homosexual men as people that acted feminine, like the Instagram sensation, Bobrisky. Never would he have thought that a macho man like Mr. Salami had uncontrollable sexual urges for men; urges he couldn’t turn off even if he wanted to. With children from different women, no one would ever know what he really was. “Are you okay?” Damilola asked him, and he realized he had been sitting still in the parked car for far too long. “Yes. I was just…just lost in thought for a minute there.” He said and opened the car door. The pair of jeans he had on was still damp and he couldn’t wait to get out of it. He greeted the gateman and leaned on the car roof to face Damilola. “Thanks for everything.” “It’s the least I could do for putting you through what I did.” She said and smiled. He returned her smile before walking off. ………. After changing into dry clothes, he lay in bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking of his next move. Damilola had bought him brunch at a fast food joint on the way home, so there was no need to prepare any food right now. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his Itel. There was someone he needed to call. “Hello, Mr. Ajanaku.” He said into the phone when the line connected. “Good afternoon Mr. Afandolo. Hope no problem?” “Umm! Well, I wanted to find out if I could sublet this place to someone else.” The man was quiet for a while before saying, “What’s the issue sir?” “Nothing; I just changed my job and need to move.” He lied. “The interesting thing is that I just got off the phone with someone that had wanted to pay for this place before you came along.” “Oh really?” “Yes. If you are sure about this, I can call him back.” “I’m sure.” “Okay. I’ll call him and get back to you later in the day.” “Thank you.” “Okay then.” “Okay. Bye.” Jack said and ended the call. He lay still for a while, and then an idea popped into his head. He got off the bed, went over to his writing table, opened his laptop, and switched it on. He cracked his knuckles as the laptop computer went through the start up process. When it was fully functional, he clicked on the Windows icon on the bottom left of the screen, and then navigated to Microsoft Office. Jack stared at the white blank page in front of him, running ideas through his mind. After a few minutes, he typed the words, Truth is Stranger than Fiction. He deleted it, and typed, Jack’s Crazy World. He pressed the back space button and kept his fingers suspended above the keyboard for a few seconds before typing, Jack and the Residents of No. 7 Cole’s Street. He sat back and read the words in his head several times, smiled, saved the document, and closed the laptop. The End. 3 Likes |

dammyd46: You are a true fan. The pastor's wife did come to Jack complaining about being sex starved. But I cut that part out cos it wouldn't make it easy to end the story. I write novelettes... About 10,000 words... Quarter size of a novel...and I didn't want to stretch the story any longer. By the way, some part of the story is true. Just some part. 1 Like |
