The devil who loved me

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…

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…
