THE WARMTH OF THE BASEMENT - CHAPTER TEN

JIDE

My relationship with Juliet became more cordial and we got closer and closer day by day. I was careful not to disclose to her the truth but my emotions worked against me big time. And it wasn’t intentional, on this particular day, as usual, we were to have fun when she suddenly declined. I became furious and wanted to know why she will decline and reject me at the climax of events.
“What is wrong with you?” I asked after she pulled away from my grip in her birthday suit
“I don’t know, something does not just feel right” She replied trying to cover her nakedness.
“I thought you wanted this more than even I do” I responded becoming furious because my hardness needed to be satisfied and I was not ready to apply force with her any longer. Not since we started our mutual adventures.
“Yes I do, but I am sorry I have just been having a troubled mind. I need to reach my boyfriend, I just want to know if he is okay” She further said and I became more furious at the mention of boyfriend. Just when I thought I was already securing her emotions for my personal use, so she has been using me for her own pleasure and not me using her as I thought. The feeling hurts and at a point I asked myself if I was truly developing feelings for her.
“Did you just say boyfriend? Like you mean your boyfriend who sold you out to us to be used for rituals?” I uttered and felt like I have just made a terrible mistake. The statement got her unaware and she seemed to be processing it to get clearer understanding.
“Jide, you cannot be serious right now, you are kidding right? He cannot! Why will…”
“Yes he did, I am sorry I am telling you this but Segun sold you out. According to him, he needed to get rid of you because you were choking him and because of that he called Musa who is like the coordinator of our evil acts and discussed your matter with him before we came to abduct you that day at the Moremi basement.” I explained. But despite my explanations, her shock seemed to be greater and she almost collapsed before she regained her little strength to talk again.
“No! there must have been a mistake somewhere!” She said almost screaming out loud.
“What mistake?” I replied as I walked over to her in my birthday suit displaying my iron manhood to further entice her but it all proved abortive.
“I am not Segun’s girlfriend, okay just so you know, I am nobody’s girlfriend as of my time of abduction, it was Femi I was in love with and even him, we were not yet officially dating but due to some circumstances, we were playing along with each other but I was hoping he will officially ask me out one day and then we will make it official.” She said and finally broke down completely, an action of hers that got me more emotional and instantly my hardness dropped. The shocking revelation marveled me the more, and I started thinking, what if we killed her? She would have died as a wrong person.
“Then who is Segun to you?” I decided to ask as I sat by her side to comfort her of her shock. The truth has been said and I could not take back my words.
“Segun is just an adamant admirer that has refused to let me be despite telling him no every time he attempted because I never even liked him.” She further expressed herself as she let out the tears that have been gathering in her eyes. I could not stand looking at her shedding tears. She has suddenly become a large part of my life with the few days she has spent with me since I brought her in. I no longer go to buy food as she now cooked for us. We had more time to ourselves since the place was in solitude and just when I was thinking we were close enough, she brought up the issue of a Femi I have no idea of because all along, Segun has been the wicked boyfriend that I was aware of.  I decided not to make her talk or do anything again as we both just sat in silence. The thought of shooting my shot came boldly to my mind immediately during the period of silence but I did not want to seem as though I was playing on her vulnerability instead I decided to start the ending game of adventure all over again since she was no weaker. And yes, it was not fun because she was not herself, but then I satisfied myself notwithstanding.
