TORN 3


... My shock upon seeing them had nothing on how frightened jasper looked..he looked so afraid and shocked at the same time... While Kachi on the other hand was different.. His facial appearance looked sorry.. Like, he isn't surprised at all.
. ... he had this expression of .."I don't mean to do it"..  As if he got caught cheating... I couldn't quite place it but I gently passed both of them and quickly noticed kachi was wearing my cologne..
No one had that perfume in the entire university apart from Maryann and me.. And that is because she produced it herself. The perfume has this strong lasting scent that is hard not to notice even days after wearing it...

.. "De.. "  kachi called after I took few steps past them.. Something in his voice seemed endearing.. Or should I say it sounded like he wants to explain himself.

... I didn't even bother to reply because I felt they owe me no explanation and worst of all... Its kachi.. So who cares??..
Although I'm uninterested in the scene I just saw.. I couldn't stop noticing the odd demeanors of kachi recently.. From his stares, choking closeness, and baffling concerns... It's not that obvious but being a meticulous kind of person.. I pick out these odd changes once in a while...

... The library building was already visible to me when it started drizzling.. I made my way to the back stairs to gain entrance quickly...cause going through the main entrance requires I go round the building which will certainly get me drenched by the drizzle that became intense.
In the library, I was a bit flabbergasted by how scanty it was... Thats was unusual.
Anyway, I just needed to study briefly and go home so I headed to my favorite spot.. A hidden corner where only I and Maryann sit.. It's actually where we shared our first and only existing kiss.. I smiled, remembering how she wanted more but I couldn't bring myself to conform to the whole romance.. Even tho i wanted to.. How weird.!!

"...... You must appreciate your privacy.." A voice said at my back.. I turned to see Nedu staring at me with his dreamy eyes and his signature smile.. How did he know I was there?... I started wondering, and he noticed..

"Ann.. I mean... Maryann.. She said I will find you here.. She stopped over to the east of the library to catch up with a friend.. " Nedu explained.. Seeing how inquisitive my expression was while he took a seat.

A friend..?  Is it a guy?.. I surprised myself by asking.. I couldn't place if I felt a pang of jealousy or not...

Nedu smiled.. He seems to like smiling..and him sitting very close to me stiffened my breath..

".. She is with a female friend.. ".. Nedu calmly pointed..  "So you have nothing to worry about "...  He added..

.. Oh,  no, it's.. Ehm.. It's not like that.  I frantically tried to straighten the situation.

"Hmmmmmm"...  Nedu sighed.. Probably not buying whatever I just said.

... Why do you hawk..??..  I blurted out!.. Is it not sickening that I lose my sanity whenever I'm with this guy..??  How will I ask such a question.. What if he gets offended. I won't even...."

"To see your cute face.. " Nedu flattered...cutting my thought short.  And just as if on a count, we both shared a smile.

".. Well.. If you must know.. It was a one-time thing.. And it was for charity.. My church youths organized it to raise money for the less privileged...We were many at the market that very day trying to make enough sales.. And thanks to admirers like you.. It paid off... "  he added.

... Shit!!.. He noticed I was drooling that very day!!.. I felt like the ground should open and swallow me.

... "Relax Des... It's human to admire good things..especially when it's close to you. " Nedu admonished.. With a seductive wink.. He seems to always read my mind accurately... and the way he called me "DES"...created butterflies in my tummy.

.. Hmmm.. And he was quite the boast.. I thought to myself.. While perusing through the article I will submit on Monday at school.
An awkward silence followed afterward with both of us not saying anything to each other.. Nedu was busy on his phone whilst I studied..

.. You seem to work out a lot.. I asked.. Breaking the silence in my bid not to be a bad host..

... Nedu took my hands.. And placed it on his heavy chest..further to his well-carved Abs and towards the edge of his pants and removed it.

.. "What do you think..? " he asked..

Oh no!!.. He seriously wasn't referring to me right??...  Because at that very point I had become lifeless.. All my system seems to be transferred to what I just felt.. His big, round soft chest, very solid Abs.. And warm skin.. How can one person be this gorgeous..??  and as if the wickedness wasn't enough.. His dick prints became visible and it looked like a club in a closet....

" Are you okay.. " Nedu asked.. Seeing how transfixed I have been for close to a minute.

.. I think I need to be home now..  I replied.. Knowing if I stayed put.. It's either I get embarrassed or I embarrass myself.. Whatever that means!!

"Oh.. It's okay.. I guess we will spend much more time tomorrow?? " Nedu enquired. And I gave him just a nod.

.. All packed and set to leave.. Nedu brought out a fancy bag loaded with stuff from his bag-pack.

"Ann wanted to give it to you.. " he said..
Stretching his hand for me to collect the bag.

Mary must have packed take-home foods and some other things of my interest in the bag for me..
I stretched to collect the bag but instead, Nedu collected me whole,  into a warm embrace..!
.. I had never felt so frightened, so cozy and above all, so Hot in my life...he smelt so good.. And his solid physique and big arms all around my slender self felt assuring. My groin area burnt so badly I feared it was literally on fire ... Nedu's warm peck on my cheek had my whole body dripping wet.. I noticed how the pole in between his legs pressed so hard on mine..My God, he is so big.. I started wondering how that area of his body will smell.. Heavenly i guess.. 

I didn't want to be back from cloud 9.. But while a part of me wanted it to continue.. A much better part wanted it to end.. Reason being that we were in the public even though out of eye reach.. Or so we thought..
... Because as we unentangled ourselves and proceeded to leave..

We saw right there, in front of us, the cold stares of KACHI.

The death is only painful to his family members but to him, he has found bliss.

There is nothing in this world. The fact that we will all die has made everything worthless and meaningless.

If not for the family one is leaving behind who will mourn after one's death, suicide is a beautiful thing. The best way to escape from this useless world of struggle, sickness, sorrow, hustle and bustle, endless chase of money and vanity.

Fvck the Hell and Heaven theory, I don't believe in those middle eastern religious bullcraap. Once you die, you die and cease to exist.

I know I will sound like a fool to the lots of you, but fvck you if you, I dont give a damn. I have spit my truth.
Here lies raw truth!! Most times its too much to hold in.. Many wont understand.

its not easy i am telling you.. You will not understand until you are truly in that position.. Its not a thing of big or small.. Its a state of mind where nothing means or makes sense to you anymore. You just want it all to end..its a bad place.. Pray never to be there!

TORN 2



..... I must have frozen for too long because by the time I regained consciousness, Maryann was back and she was saying something while pointing at the hawker...

.... "Dessy.. Are you alright?? "...  Mary asked... She had this concerned look on her face..

.. I opened my mouth to say something but my tongue didn't give way for any sound to come out...

. .. "Nedu settle in.. Let me check on the food" Mary said as she dropped my laptop close to me and entered the kitchen...
That was when I had a thorough gaze at Nedu.. He is way more buff now and every inch sexy... Everything checked out on this dude so much that I couldn't stop gazing..

... "You are a student here?? "  Nedu asked.. Trying to pull his sneakers..

I couldn't believe the voice of a hawker could  switch my hormones to the highest length .. I couldn't still speak.. So I just nodded..
... I tried to stabilize myself, my strange demeanor and sheepish stares became embarrassing .. I mean, it's just a hawker.. I told myself.. How can I be so carried away and unstable at his sight.. Gradually my tongue got loose and I found myself blurting..

...  Who are you??...  I asked.. and immediately  regretted I ever  did.. I mean.. Who asks a visitor who he is, in another person's apartment.. ??

I started thinking of how best to rephrase the question because Nedu's answer to my first question was just a smile.. A very charming smile.. It made my brain a bit frozen temporarily and amidst the whole emotional  instability .. I managed another shot..

Are you related to Mary??.. I fired.. This time with a better calculation..

".. Ah-ah.. Dessy.. Didn't you get everything I was saying earlier..?? "  Mary breezed in with a very large tray containing everything..and I actually mean EVERYTHING!!!...  Inside the tray are plates of jollof rice, with.. salad, fried fish, chicken, and peppered snail as side attractions.. Cups of smoothie,...a cold fruit wine bottle,  and my best desert.. Ice cream and milk cake.. So there you have it.. Mary served everything!.

"Nedu is my cousin and he is here for an exam that will last for.... I think.. I think for a week or so..".    Mary briefly brought me up to speed about Nedu and his mission in her house...whilst arranging our feast on the sparkling floor of her room.. Another trait I like about her.. Mary is neat!

You never mentioned he was coming.. I chipped. Sipping on my smoothie..

"... Oh, my bad... his coming is actually precipitated.. and I didn't think it's worth the bother.. " Mary explained.. Stuffing my mouth with peppered  snail and rice... The combination tasted bland just like the expression on Nedu's face as he watched Mary get all romantic with me as we had lunch.

.. Moments later, I was ready to take my leave... It was already early afternoon and I need to get home on time because I would still head out to the library..

".... Maybe Nedu should join you later at the library.. He needs to study hard for his upcoming exam.. " Mary suggested.. Already aware of my schedule.
I liked the idea and I looked up to see what Nedu thinks.. But he only gave me his favorite response.. A smile.

..... I sort of found it funny that he has only spoken twice to me since we both met..he talks more freely with Mary than l.. Which I quite understand. ..

I journeyed  home with mixed feelings.. I thought of how sweet Mary can be and how so much, she takes very good care of me.. On the other hand.. Nedu and his awesome features lurked somewhere in my mind too.. *******
... The gate of my lodge takes extra strength to push.. And I hoped the fault is what a welder had come to fix as I passed a slim, tall man with welding materials at the entrance of  the gate.

.... Good afternoon sir.. I greeted him..

But got no response.. I was loud and I'm very sure about that.. I got pissed and walked past the welder.. He must be a snobbish brut,  I thought.. Or I would later find out he is deaf and dumb.  Well,  even when I did.. I still felt he should have done a sign or something..

"Hey Desmond.. " jasper hailed..

He is a student, plus one of kachi's gym friends.. And frankly, the worst of them all..  Jasper is too rascally and indulges in so many deadly social vices which somehow he always gets out of.. Well,  his father is an oil mogul so that part isn't that surprising.

Hello, jasper...  I replied nonchalantly..

He hates me and I know, because the feeling is mutual... I figured he wanted to extend the conversation.. Probably ask me the whereabouts of kachi.. So I quickly placed my headset  on my ear and walked past him..
... Jasper leaving my lodge alone is a clue that he looked for kachi and he is not home..the two of them are best friends  and are always together.. To them,  they are the best news of themselves..and to me,  the best news of the afternoon is that kachi isn't home.. Pheeeew!!  What a relief.

.. I pushed the doorknob of our room and the door gave way to a sweet aroma.. Kachi must have shown off his culinary skills to one of his numerous chicks.. Did I mention he is a good cook..?? I guess that is one thing I didn't hate about him..

On top of the center table is a steel flask tightly covered with a note that says..

... "Happy Anniversary .. De".....
I can spot kachi's handwriting anywhere.. It's always crafted like an art.. And besides, he is the only one that calls me "DE".
I remember it was three years ago,  on the same day that kachi and I got living as roomies... And ever since then he has turned it into an anniversary worth celebrating every year.. Just that this one seemed different..a bit more..
.. He cooked, wrote a note, and decorated the table with flowers.. It must be an idea from one of his girlfriends.
I didn't bother opening the food because I already ate.. So I picked my books and left for the library..

Passing through the gate.. I met the welder guy again,  exchanging sign languages with our landlord.
I couldn't give a hoot, so I passed..
...... The walk to the library is usually a bit far but using the bushy short-cut across my lodge makes it shorter... I needed to get there fast enough to cool off with the blasting air condition.. It makes me assimilate what I read faster.. I thought and smiled, taking the first bushy bend to my destination....nothing had prepared me for the sight I viewed..

.. Kachi and jasper in each other's arms.. Having a passionate kiss..
.....my heart missed a beat.!

LiteratureTORN!!! (A Queer Story) by Orangebasket(op): 12:43pm On Aug 04, 2021
This is a different kind of story.

The twists.The emotions.The revelations.The love.The anger...The revenge... !!

..it all seemed like it happened almost in a day, A day that seemed like forever...

Grab your popcorn and sit tight as we unravel the MOST..in this complicated queer story


N/B: Everything in this story is fiction. The names and places that will be mentioned herein are not in true representation of anybody or place.



======================================



TORN.. 1

Kachi's loud voice stirred me up from sleep...
Damn!.. I hate this guy... Everything about him!!.. He is noisy.. Very boisterous. Likes talking in his highest pitch which is quite loud and bassy. He keeps just too many friends and that irritates me to the brim...
Imagine trying to catch some sleep after night studies only for him to mess up my Saturday morning by bringing his useless friends from the gym... They were still outside chatting about their gym sessions. Who is buffer than the other...blah blah blah.  I hated it..!!  Nothing about Kachi excites me at all... I just do a good job of keeping calm. Pending when I get enough money to rent my space... I need it!!.

I stared at the pile of cloth on the floor. Kachi had dumped them there earlier. He probably intends to wash them.
The way he buys cloth and colognes is just crazy. Need I tell you he takes a whole day observing himself in the mirror if he wants to step out. ??

... "Guy,  how do I look?? " He would ask.
.. You look great. I would say with so much less interest.
.. "But you are not even looking at me.. " he will persist...

Arrrgh!! Kachi is just a thorn in my flesh.
I would turn. Stare at him briefly. And still, repeat my erstwhile statement.

"You look good".

with disdain all over my face. Most times he notices. And will raise his eyebrow at me in askance... As if expecting me to say more. But that was all he gets from me. I hate looking at his face...
He likes overdoing things ehn. Fine,
Kachi is handsome..well built and black. He knows that. And he gets so much attention because of those traits.
Well, Except for me.
.. I still stared at his pile of clothes on the floor. I noticed a singlet with a bright orange color. I had seen that color somewhere... I know I see people in orange clothes a lot but this particular orange ambiance seems to connect me to something...
I thought hard. Trying to figure out where it was. Who it was. And in between the airy breeze from the rechargeable fan and Kachi's chatter with his friends, I Drifted!!..

It was on a bus... I was leaving the market back to school... I needed a new power bank and headphones, It helps me in reading. I had just purchased the items and was heading home.  The long buses seem scarce so I opted to board the shuttle bus. Fortunately for me. One pulled over and I climbed in. Being the first passenger. I quickly took the front seat. Connected my new headset to my phone so I could feel the sound...
I was really in my best state. When a very cold hand tapped me. I returned to earth immediately,  only to stare at a small boy begging for arms for his blind father.
I know the man very well. Or should I say? The supposed blind man. He is from my village. And he could be any other thing but blind.

... Papa Kosi Good Afternoon. I greeted him sarcastically.

The beggar quickly dragged the little boy out from the bus... And they moved further down the busy tarred road. I just smiled... How deceitful people can be.. and on a second, I thought about where he got the little boy from. Because the papa Kosi that I know has only one grown-up daughter.

        Gala meat!!  Gala meat. !! .. Buy your cold la casera !!.. A hawker shouted very close to me, the lady at the back was patronizing him.

.. "Bros.. Make I bring am ? ". The hawker asked... I knew he was talking to me because it's just me and the lady that had boarded the bus yet.

No. I'm fine. I responded without as much as a gaze towards him.

.. "Chairman.. The mineral cold o.. Use am chill for this hot sun nah," the hawker said again. This time directly beside my door.

politely, I turned to decline his offer again and my tongue got caught.
Right in front of me is a gorgeous-looking alpha male. With the most sparkling teeth, I have ever seen... His smile was just too charming to behold. Everything about him reeks of average class. Neatness and overload of freshness. I have seen handsome guys. But at that point. Nothing I had seen in guys matched the description of this hawker right in front of me. His well-buffed body couldn't hide in his sparkling orange singlet... His cologne engulfed my nose so much I thought I couldn't breathe.

.. "Oga bring your money". The one-eyed driver demanded... Bringing me back to life.

.. How much. I asked,  still not fully conscious of myself or where I was. ...

.. "Nah today you begin to enter bus here..?? Your money Nah #200... ". The hostile driver responded.
I gave him #1000.. he hissed and left probably to look for a change... now fully conscious of myself. I started wondering when the hawker left. I was hoping I didn't make a complete fool of myself... I started playing in my mind how soft and firm his hands will be on me. And as if that was working. I felt a palm all over me and my 'third leg' stirring up from slumber.

.. "Guy your body system is dead o!!.. Since wey I dey tickle you..you no even shift".. Kachi shouted!  intercepting my trance with his dead jokes...

Apparently, He is the hand I felt... He was tickling me to laugh..such wrong timing. !!
Can I hate this guy any further..?? !!.. I rolled my eyes as I cursed him inwardly.

Minutes later, I stood up from the bed. Went to the bathroom and met Kachi jerking off. He occasionally does that, so it's not new...he smiled when I came in. The way he stared at me seemed different. But I don't give a rat eye whatsoever. I just brushed my teeth. And left him there...

.., Dressed in my joggers and a loose-fitting sweater. I sprayed some perfume and left for my friend's place at IKENGA hostel. I hate going there because it's just like the hostel was built at the far end of the world.. Very far from the main campus. I just needed to get my laptop from Maryann. She borrowed it to copy an article into her laptop. It's the weekend and I don't do weekends without my laptop. 
I left our room quickly as I couldn't bear the insane moan of Kachi everywhere... It irritates me. Well,  everything about him does.
As I walked towards the tarred road, I started wondering.
With all Kachi's packaging and good looks. Can't he just get a girl to get some relief..??  I thought to myself.

Few more minutes, I got Seated in a very fancy Keke with my headset on,
I soon forgot the thoughts of Kachi and his wanking... 45 minutes After. I got to Maryann's room. She knew I was coming yet she just wore a revealing bum shorts and bra. I felt uncomfortable looking at her. But then again, It's Maryann.  she likes being all over me.
I like her because she is beautiful and very intelligent. We kind of possess the same traits when it comes to good looks and intelligence but the extra edge in Maryann's is that she has a very good shape that guys die for. And see me with all the access I get. I still couldn't touch her...

The highest Mary and I had ever done is a kiss. And that was once... She made me do it. And even though I liked it, I can't bring myself to do it again...
.. "Dessy... You look tired. Have you been studying..?? " Mary asked. She likes calling me Dessy. My name is Desmond. But she will never call it in full. It's either a pet name or Dessy.

Yes, Mary. I have been studying. Pls get my laptop. I need to start going...  I responded.

.. "Annie". I told you to always call me Annie...and besides, that aroma from the kitchen is for you... So no going home yet! ".. Mary chipped.

She can be headstrong most times. So I already knew I have lost the fight..because arguing with her is a waste of time. She rarely cooks. But whenever she does. It's special. And if I don't taste it. The world will crumble on us both.
Mary can be very possessive of me. And even though we are just friends. I always think she wants more than that.

"I charged your laptop for you in my neighbor's room. Let me get it for you " Mary said and left...

After some minutes,  the door opened, I looked up. And right there facing me, is the HAWKER!!
