Hakeem12:

Pardon me bro, work no gree me, but I'll update soon

Didov1:
wow...jay is really going 2ru a lot..

That's what most introverted pple go tru, that's what am going through and people only understand it that I'm so selfish, arrogant and proud. That's why I decided to write this story to discredit such assumptions

Divay22:
I once dated an extrovert
Gosh dude was boring to me and i to him...we had to part ways, because I wasn't ready to give up my me,myself and I time..
He even told me i was possessed, because he couldn't imagine taking is bae out and she'll be as quite as a dove but on getting home she's so bubbly.....

STAY ANYWHERE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME (my motto)

Lol. So how about now?

Episode 8


"You're such an arrogant and proud fellow"
"Why didn't you reply my greeting? I know you're too big for such"
"Are you sure you aren't possessed? Every now and then you're sitting in a dark corner doing nothing"
"Are you fetish? Why you like darkness so much?"

Jay had heard these lines quite a number of times and from random people; in the office, church, home, streets... but he hadn't taken many of them to heart, he was now resolved that there was little or nothing he could do about his introverted nature; he had stopped trying to fix himself. But then, what struck him most was the day Jane left him dumbfounded. It was a solitary Saturday afternoon, just like the previous afternoons, cos it has always been the same routine at home; wake up, brush up, eat, take a walk down the lonely street, get back home, play video games and listen inattentively to Jane's infamous complains. Nothing ever changed, nothing. Jane had lashed out on him about his decline on visiting her mum, at least for proper recognition the previous Saturday but he never changed his decision on not going. He had felt relaxed to Jane's utmost dismay. She had come back home after the Saturday's exercise and after taking her bathe, she knocked at Jay's door but got no response. She knocked again certified that Jay was around cos the door was open as she left it while going for jogging. She knocked again louder and got a faint response.
"Who's there?" Jay said faintly
"Its me baby, what's wrong with you in there?" Jane's voice was shaky. She was afraid something might be wrong with him, something she couldn't say until the door was let open.
"Jane? Give me a little time please, I'll open the door" His voice played the same tone, a mixture of frightfulness and unperturbed.
"What you doing in there? open the door please"
"Nothing, I'll get back to you in a minute" Jay persisted.
"Nigga open this door, Jane yelled and started kicking at the door, open this door now or else I pull it down. Don't tell me you're masturbating inside there, are you unclad? even if you are, haven't we bathe together before? Jay open this goddamn door, what's wrong with you? Jay? Jay?"


NB: Dear extroverts, when you meet us behind closed doors, please just make use of the next room, cos there's no way we can force the doors to open.

solz23:
Thought I am introverted until I met Jay.Your own weak me...

Guess Jay is super introverted

Hawlahscho:
I dont even know which one am I.

Sitting all alone for days when I'm among strangers and dont wanna talk to any of them? I'm a pro at that, once I'm with my phone.

Starting an unending conversation with a stranger I've watched and realized she wants it? Simple stuff for me, I wont plan before going, d words will come.

Being all alone even when all others a partying, pretending they dont exist? Perfectly I do that.

Maybe I'm ENXTROVERT, whatever that means.

Nice job OP, may God help Jay

lol. Guess an exintrovert . thanks anyway

Episode 7


Tit bits;

*Teachers never hear you say "present" when they're calling attendance.
*When you're practising in the band room alone with a few other people playing random different things and all of a sudden everybody stops playing, so you have to stop playing to avoid being the center of attention.
*When you're too shy to order for yourself at restaurants.
*When people keep having to ask you "what?" because you're too quiet.
*When people think you're depressed cos you sit in a corner all day.
*When they all suddenly look at you in class when you're making a point and then you lose all confidence and start mincing words.


Only a few of Jay's moments were encroached with Jane, Jay did all he could to contain his new girlfriend and never allowed his introvert nature override his new relationship. He cherished Jane so much and he knew that, but then he realised he couldn't possibly conquer his weird nature, he allowed it take its place some of the times. But Jane understanding the kind of nature he had, she also tried to fit in and seldom complained. She was loving her new environment but not wholesomely.

"I wish there's something I could do about it" Jane told Sam one fateful afternoon. "I wish I could help it. We hardly go for parties, he barely takes me out on a date, not cinema, he forbade the beach, he rejected the candles and flowers programme we had recently, instead he asked me to go alone. He only prefers sitting at home, playing video games, reading, drinking, plays on his laptop and lots; just at home. I hope I'm not damned Sam" Jane's voice softened.

Minutes turned into days and days into weeks but Jay's situation never changed with the minutes. Jane was probably growing tired cos she spent most of her moments crying and complaining to Sam about Jay's attitude she couldn't put up with.

"Jay, I need to talk to you about something" Jane said slowly, counting her words.
"What's that?" Jay replied still engrossed in his book.
"Put that book down Mr and listen to me please" Jane said and grabbed the book from Jay's hand forcefully. She narrowed her eyes at him and frowned them almost immediately.
"I'm sorry" Jay whispered.
"You've been saying that all day Jay. well, I need to get you see my mum, she's been asking of you" Jane said anxiously.
"See your mum? what for? well, I'm sorry but I can't" Jay said regretfully.
"You can't what?"
"You know I can't Jane, you have to understand me, I can't, I just can't, I don't have that morale to sit facing your mum please, I can't imagine that scene Jane" Jay said and went away.

Thanks a lot guys for following. Ur response(s) encourage(s) me a lot. Update soon.

Episode 6


Sam followed Jay immediately, he knew Jay totally lost it and couldn't control himself, reason why he made a quick exit from the room. He excused himself and left. He couldn't look at Jane cos he was sure she felt embarrassed.

"I still can't believe that a guy of 25 years old cant confront a lady, what sort of balls you got man?" Sam yelled at Jay. Jay couldn't say a thing, he rather bent his head and kept washing his face with a bottle of cold water. He felt kicks in his stomach, knocks on his legs, terrible voices in his head. He knew why he felt this way but he hated it, he hated that people thought him gay cos he couldn't approach a girl, he hated that people thought him full of pride and arrogant when he was only an introvert; a temperament he couldn't control, something beyond his power. Jay was shaking. He held his head up and heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He watched on as Sam's eyes narrowed in anger. He didn't bother about Sam now, nor about Jane, he only worried about himself.
"What's really wrong with me?" Jay whispered to himself. Am I possessed or what? Why can't I do so many things I wish to do? Why can't I walk to that room and talk to Jane about my emotions, what I feel about her, why can't I grab the balls?"
Jay's voice was a bit audible now, Sam was listening with rapt attention, he started feeling pity for him. Some seconds ago he was mad at Jay's strange behaviour in the room and in a flash he felt pity for him. He looked at Jay and realised he was crying now, tears were dropping from his eyes as he mixed his words with cry, Sam broke down seeing his friend in tears.

"The first time I talked to a girl, Jay continued amidst tears, it was during my secondary school days. I was in love with this particular girl, she knew I was, my friends were aware cos I talked about her more often to my friends, but I didn't have morale to talk to her a single time. I itched each time I see her around, but then I would lost it and escape from her presence" Jay sniffed. Each day I go home without talking to her, I would swear to myself that I would muster the courage to approach her the next day, but then everyday was the same. And then I day came, I was compelled by my friends to meet her, Femi and Obi had arranged everything, they already told her I wanted to see her after the school activities. Then that afternoon, they dragged me against my will to the school backyard, Temi was already waiting for me, cos I thought she really wanted me to make the first move considering the manly stuff. In a flash, I was standing before an anxious Temi, she was waiting in expectation to hear what I wanted to say. My heart started pounding very loud, my lips locked up, my legs started knocking, my hands trembling, my eyes turning and they popped out of their socket. I felt the terrible noises in my head. I knew I was lost. I....
"Jay, why did you call to meet me here?" Temi's voice roused me to reality.
"ERM, I, I, no, wait, I, no, erm, Femi and Obi, yes, them, they said, said you..you, that you likeee me" I stammered.
"What? Temi yelled, that I like you? you're mad, who would say such thing?"
"No, no, not what I, I, I.. wished to say, but, wait, please Temi, can we be boys and girls?" I said and started crying.
Sam bursted out laughing.

"Sam, you can't believe such incident happened to me, I was 16 years old then, Sam, I was" Jay continued crying. Sam embraced him and offered him his shoulders to lean on.
"Its alright man, you're too old to cry, you'll be fine, I promise" Sam consoled him.

germaphobe:
that used to be my problem

How did u overcome it

GSteve001:
Well done, sir.

Welcome sir

Episode 5


A 20 minutes drive downtown brought Jay to Nile street. It was supposed to be a 10 minutes drive but coupled with the fear of meeting his new girlfriend and the fact he would be forced to get off his shell made him drive at 40km/hr. He had nurtured the thought of applying the brake and making a reverse twice in his mind, damn what Sam and Jane would think, but then he couldn't really damn the consequences. He had to discredit Sam's claim that he's gay. He had to pull this one off.

Jay opened his car door and got off reluctantly, he banged it so hard that you could imagine the car got him in his mess. He picked up his phone and dialled Sam's number. He felt he's got to know whether Jane was already in his house before going in. He was unfazed by the fact that he had to ask Jane to go to Sam's house instead of coming to his. Jay had his reasons. He couldn't afford sitting alone with a lady for a long time, he definitely must wee in his pants, so he had to send Jane to Sam's house were he could get a third party who could tune in a conversation and keep it lively.

"Sam, is Jane home?" Jay sounded sick.
"Yea, She is. You late you know?" Sam questioned him.
"I'm coming inside now, please get me in through the back door" Jay said avoiding Sam's question.
"Why?"
"Nigga, do what I say, please"
"Alright"


"Hi Jane, how you doing? Pardon I'm late please, I've been busy with an assignment that I nearly forgot I got to meet you here, I...."
"Its alright, Jane cut in, I'm fine"
"Yes, yes.. yes" Jay said repeatedly avoiding Jane's eyes. Little did he know he already said "yes" for a number of times. Despite the fact that he went to the kitchen and gulped down a bottle of cold water just to ease his tension, he still couldn't find the words to say.

"Jay?, Jane began, its being ten minutes now and you don't wanna say a thing, why you asked me to meet you here?"
"ERM, you see? ERM, sorry, I've gotta pee, some seconds please, where's Sam? Sam?
" What? I'm here, you gone blind all of a sudden?" Sam looked bewildered.
"Oh! Where's the toilet please?" Jay said and walked stylishly away from the room as Jane and Sam looked in astonishment.

Episode 4


He doesn't talk to people, he's always bent on his table, he seldom walks out of the office for lunch and that's the most ridiculous attitude I've ever seen since I came to this organization" Tofunmi whispered to Bade who was also disgruntled with Jay's behaviour. The rest of the staff couldn't decipher how Jay was able to get a work in a such public organization where team work was the most prized asset. A man who would come to work in the morning, greet only a few people, hurry to his table, stay back during lunch and race home without saying goodbye. A lot of them thought him to be so full of pride.
"He's so proud and arrogant, damn!"
But Jay felt hurt that people misunderstood and misjudge his attitude, they thought him to be a proud fellow when he's just a super introvert, someone who's always locked in himself, someone who could barely approach people, even when he does, he could hardly say a word, the words refuse to form, they refuse to leave his mouth. He wished he could speak with his heart other than his mouth, he wished he could be brave enough to socialise with people, go to parties, celebrate with the rest of the staffs during lunch or break moments, he wished he could get off his video game every second; a lot of wishes.

It was 3 pm and he's still locked inside his room since morning while he had to meet Jane, his new girlfriend at Sam's house. The thought of exchanging pleasantries, starting up conversations and keeping it alive hit him on his head. He switched off the video game and rounded off the bottle of whiskey to get dressed.

"I must pull this one off" Jay murmured.

Update in a short time. Pardon me pls.

Episode 3


Jay bent his head and pulled the table closet while Sam laid down the drinks on the table. He looked at a worn out Jay and shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't ready to apologise for dragging him to the lounge, he wouldn't do that. Sam opened his drink and passed the opener to Jay who's still got his head buried in his phone. He held the bottle to his mouth and gulped down the liquid, he seemed not to be worried about Jay's changed countenance a bit. He took the meat and ate a chunk, it tasted great.

"Sam, look over and see that lady" Jay said without raising his face.
"Which lady? there are about 20 ladies in this hall, which of 'em...
Jay cuts in. " Can you spot the only lady sitting alone, dummy?" Jay sounded authoritatively.
"Oh! I got it, and what about her"
"I wanna talk to her" Jay said softly.
"Alright, I promise not to steal your drink, go talk to her buddy" Sam said grabbing the second bottle.
"Oh men, you know I can't, I just can't" Jay cried.
"Why can't you?"
"I've not got the balls Sam, I will seamer with shame, the last time I did it, the words refused to come out, I ended up making a fool of myself"
"Now how do you wanna meet her?"
"You know? You can help me Sam" Jay said, his eyes pleading.
"Alright".

In a flash, Jay watched as Sam got to the ladies table and engaged her in a conversation which lasted for some minutes. He could see the lady all smiles as Sam got his phone and punched some numbers. In a while, Sam made his way back to Jay, smiling sheepishly.
" Here's her contact dawg, you can thank me later" Sam said boastfully.
"What the f....? How the hell did you do that Sam? How were u able to approach her?" Jay looked with widened eyes.

KimberlyWest:
Thanks for the mention.

A real introvert is here bro Jay I feel your pain, I've been in more than a hundred similar situations.

Krissconnet, bros It's Kimberlywest not Kimberly west, No wonder I didn't get your mention.

The story is superb, I'm eagerly waiting for the next update.

Thanks my madam. Enjoy the story

yewande1234:
Wen will u continue ur other story "The 20 targets"

Soon dear, I've resumed fully

Episode 2.


Jay got out of the car and slammed the door ferociously, Sam caught his eye and he let out a crazy smile. He knew he won this one, and he was so proud of it. Sam was able to drag Jay from home after a little scuffle, Jay had refused to leave his video game when Sam spoke to him about going to a lounge to drink, he knew Jay hated such conversation but he was bent on getting one over Jay this time.

The lounge was full of life, people were seen coming out and in of it. Tables were neatly arranged with a maximum of 4 people a table, music was crazily banging in the background, fancy lights looked like they were dancing to the beat of the country side music. Jay squeezed his face so hard when he caught a full glimpse of the environment, he reeked in hate. He hated this place. There was little he could do so he made his way to a table so deserted by people, he got to a seat and sat down clutching on his phone. He kicked the table as Sam came to him.

"Why don't we go to a table close to people so we can see what's happening?" Sam said avoiding the seat.
"If you dont wanna sit here, I will just leave"
"He he, I'm cool man, leme get us drinks" Sam tapped him as he headed to the counter.


Jay stretched his eye regretfully, he bit his lips more often as he waited impatiently for Sam to come with the drinks. He was about to pull out the table when his eyes caught on someone. His eyes instantly widened as a fair complexioned tall lady walked stylishly to a table adjacent to his. "Damn! Jay screamed to himself. He couldn't believe a lady with such magnicificent asset. A cute face, straight legs, charming eyes and a well rounded set of ass, wonderfully built. Jay felt thirsty, he wanted to stand up but his legs held him down, his heart started racing fast, his head started knocking, his hands were shaking, lips trembling. He then knew his introvert nature had set in, he could hardly grip on the table. He looked so disappointed. He wished he could stand, walk up to her and start up a conversation, but he couldn't. He felt bitter and unhappy. He was still lost in thought when Sam came with 4 bottles of Origin and a tray of meat. Sam looked at Jay and realised he was not uncomfortable. He thought it was as a result of his forcing Jay to the lounge, but little did he know Jay was locked in a cell of introvert.

Episode 1



'ririring, ririring, ririring' Jay's phone beeped as he gulped the remains of the red wine down his throat. He heaved a heavy sigh and reached out for the phone, he dragged his feet as he headed to the couch. A quick glance at his watch and he realised he was 10 minutes late for the party, he bit his lip so hard that he forgot it would hurt. Jay hates parties, he hates 'em so bad that he could pay a thousand bulks to stay off it.

'ririring, ririring, ririring...' the phone persisted. Jay picked up and swiped to answer, it was Dan.

"Hey Dan whatsup" Jay said softly.
"What's up you mean? Hey Jay what you still doing at home?" Dan growled from the other end of the phone.
"I'm resting, man" Jay replied ignorantly.
"What the...? You sick or what? We got a party, a party cos Samantha's coming, you did organised that, how dare you forget so quick". Dan's voice seemed a bit confused. He couldn't believe someone who threw a birthday party for his new found girlfriend who came all the way from Calabar claim ignorance of it all of a sudden. Dan felt lost.
" Oh, the party?" Jay said ticking his head, The party? I'm aware of the party Dan"
"So what you still doing at home Jay?, Samantha's here waiting. Don't make me look foolish Jay, else I'm gonna drag her to your home"
"Ugh man, you're in such a hurry, relax. Honestly, I wish I can come but I'm sick, I got my weak feet back again, my head knocks,I can't even stand up Dan, I'm so sorry" Jay's voice came deep.
"What now happens to Samantha, Jay? Jay? Jay..." Dan called as Jay dropped dead from the other end.

"I can't go for any party now, I just hate it, I better sit my ass down and play video games, Great, I got a bottle of Andre" Jay screamed in joy as he rushed to his fridge, his greatest partner.

Hy guys,let's roll on this one. Grab your packet of popcorn, a bottle of wine cos we sure gonna enjoy this one. Its a short story which relates to introverts. I know how we feel cos I'm an introvert too, so I gotta pen it down for our extroverted friends to know we ain't responsible for the weird way we really behave.
