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. 2 Likes 1 Share |

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. 1 Like |

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 ![]() 2 Likes |
