31 SHADES OF HIM…EPISODE 7

It was a dark, breezy and stormy night, the skies are grumbling as lightning kept on stroking in between the clouds at intervals, the whole atmosphere was extremely quiet apart from the sounds of heavy rain hitting the roofing of the buildings. Charles was sweating profusely as he kept on rolling on the bed, it obvious that he is having a nightmare which sure terrifies him. He let out a loud scream which wakes up Alvin that was sleeping peacefully beside him. He was crying and shouting wailing when he hugged Alvin tightly. “What’s wrong with you Charles? What’s going on?” Alvin asked eagerly with a confused Voice. Charles didn’t say a word as he continued crying while his body continued trembling in fear. Alvin sighed deeply as he hugged and consoled him for a while.
It was almost morning when Charles finally regained conscious, the atmosphere was stable but it was still drizzling. He was still breathing slowly while he wrapped himself in Alvin’s body. His voice was really low and shaky when he speaks, as if he was still in fear. “Aren’t you going to ask what happened to me?” Charles asked with his eyes closed. Alvin sighed and adjusted his self. “Of course I would want to know but I don’t want to force you to say it out Charles, I will listen to you whenever you are ready to say it.” He replied. Charles took a deep breath as he slowly wiped off the drop of tears on his face while he starts speaking…
“I grew up in an orphanage Alvin, not because I was an orphan but because my dad made me an orphan.” He said with tears flowing on his face. He took a deep breath as he continued speaking. “My father was a psychopath and a drunkard. He would get drunk every day and beat my mom and I whenever he gets home. It becomes a daily routine for us to get beaten by him whenever he gets drunk, and whenever it rains, he would lock us outside the house for the raid to drop on us. My mother had no family because he married her from another country to Nigeria; she has no one to run to expect to stay with him. Seeing how she suffers hell at my father’s mercy, her neighbors advised her to start working at nearby eateries so she can train me in school. Of course she did as advised but that was she my father’s torture took another dimension. The moment he realized she was working, he becomes over possessive of her, claiming he loves her and wouldn’t want her to talk to other people. He would beat the hell out of her all in the name of jealousy.” Charles narrated with tears all over his face.
He pauses a little as he continued narrating his story. “I always knew my mother had no choice and that was why she endure all the maltreatments from my father. Every morning when he gets sober, he would beg her to forgive him and promise not to do it again but that wouldn’t stop him from misbehaving the next time he gets drunk. I would cry and beg my mother to leave him so we can free ourselves from the torture but she would always claim that LOVE will change him one day. She loves him as if her life depends on it but I was sure it was because she had no choice and no other place to turn to” Charles narrated again while Alvin concentrated and continued listening as Charles continued the story.
“One fateful night as we were sleeping, My dad barged into the house in his drunk stage as usual, it was raining heavily as he started shouting and breaking things in the house, my mom was trying to stop him but he beats he as usual but this time, the beating was out of control that my mom fainted. He continued beating her and breaking things in the house till he started a fire unfortunately. I cried and shouted for help, I could see my mom suffocating and trying to breathe but we couldn’t get help. He has also fainted at the moment. I couldn’t remember what happened but I only woke up the following day to the dead bodies of my parents almost consumed by fire. I wailed and cried for my mother because she died believing that love will save her one day but atlas, that love was her end. That was when I knew love was never a good thing. I understood that love is poison and never to be played with. Love is a lie and illusion; it will never come but end up being our end. That as when and till date I stopped believing in love.” Charles narrated with tears flowing on his face.
Alvin was speechless and emotional at Charles’s story; he had a drop of tears on his face as he wiped them slowly. “We all have different experiences with Love Charles, our previous experience shouldn’t determine whether we move on or hang in the past. You shouldn’t lock yourself in your past experience, open up your heart and only then will you realize that love is beautiful.” He said as he hugged him. Charles sighed while in the comfort of Alvin’s hug. “I doubt if my heart will ever believe in that word again Alvin. This is what I grew up to despise all my life, I had seen and met different people that have shown massive interests in being with me but I never for once thought of giving it a chance. I would never fall for the temptation.” He assured himself. Alvin giggled as he adjusted himself. “Love is a beautiful thing Charles, I assure you that it would swift you off your feet one day and you will forget all your horrible experiences.” He said with a smile while Charles nodded his head. “I doubt if that day will ever come.” He said…

It’s a beautiful and scary morning as the whole contestants gathered in the general hall awaiting the results of the previous week and expecting the team to be evicted. John was sweating profusely as he stared at the top five teams being projected without their names among. They were all terrified especially Sarah whose heart was beating faster and louder as if it was about to explode, she was only thinking about the words to put on together to her colleagues if they eventually got evicted. She was still thinking while the others stared with fear on their face when their team was announced as the evicted team. “You all have a day to prepare your stuffs; an official car will arrive tomorrow and take you out of the resort to the city.” Said one of the judges as she paused a little and continued speaking. “As per the tradition of the house, you will be compensated accordingly for your efforts and stay for the past few days. We wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.” He added as he slowly dropped the mike and dismissed the gathering.
People were slowly leaving the hall as everyone was mourning; no one really expected the team to be evicted with the efforts and talents they had been displaying for the past few days. Everyone eventually left and they were left alone in the hall as they stood speechless and were staring at Sarah, they were obviously demanding an explanation. Tears were flowing from John’s face as he slowly walked over to her. “Why Sarah? Why have you done that? You were meant to fucking submit that clip on time. It was just a fucking mail Sarah. We all played our part but you neglected your duty. This is all on you Sarah.” He said with tears on his face. She was also crying with her face bent down. Of course she was emotional even though she wasn’t really feeling guilty, she knows that Celina gets her covered and she isn’t going to leave the resort.
They were all staring at her waiting for her response but nothing was coming from her. John sighed and yelled at her. “Why the fuck are you quiet Sarah? We need a reasonable explanation here.” He yelled looking at her. Sarah also fleered up as she started yelling. “Will you stop yelling at me as if I am some kind of kid to you? May be all these wouldn’t have happened if you weren’t acting like some boss, maybe we could have prevented these if you were acting more like a team mate and not our superior.” She yelled looking at him. John giggled with a bitter smile on his face. “Is that all that matters to you Sarah? You made us loose this because you feel I was acting like a boss?” He asked with tears all over his face.
His heart was burning and his hands were trembling. He throws a punch at her but Charles was quick enough to stop him. He broke in to tears again as he fell on the ground. “If only you knew what you have done Sarah, do you think I was acting all this serious because I wanted being a boss or something? I was just trying to get us to victory. We all have a fucked up life outside this resort and I am sure no one dreams of going back to that street. My life is in shambles Sarah, I am swimming in pool of debt and failed career, this competition was my only hope but thanks to you Sarah, thanks to you all that ended.” He said crying. He slowly stood up and faced her again. At this point, Sarah was remorseful already while John wiped off his face and moved closer to her. “You will pay for this Sarah.” He said as she turned and walked away. Maya wasn’t convinced with the situation John left so she quickly followed him to him room.
He was crying when she entered and met him hanging a rope to the ceiling fan, it was obvious that John was trying to commit suicide. Maya quickly walked in and tried to stop him but he would push her off and continued his mission. She was persistent and kept on begging him. Charles fell on the bed and broke into tears. “I have nothing left Maya. This was my last hope. I can never get back to the streets; there is nothing left for me over there.” He said as he continued crying and wailing. Maya hugged him tightly as she was also crying. We all have a fucked up life out there John, but suicide is not the answer. Do you think it is also easy for us out there? do you think I also want to get back to being a forced harlot? There is nothing to be proud of there but directors and movie producers sleeping with me just to get me an unpopular role in a small paly? Do you think that’s the life I want to get back to? But suicide is never the option John, our lives worth more than that.” She said trying to console him.
John continued crying while questioning fate. “Why are our lives so fucked up? Why do we have to struggle so hard to earn a living? Why Maya?” He asked as he was crying really hard. Maya wiped her tears as she forced a smile on her face. “Life is always unfair John, but at times like this, we can only be our brothers keepers and fuck whatever the fuck is bothering us. We shouldn’t’ let our lives be dominated by sad events, let’s try to make beautiful memories out of every fucking situation.” She said as she slowly turned and placed a kiss on his lips. John was hesitant at first but he hissed as he gave in to the kiss. “Fuck everything and everyone.” He said as they continued kissing passionately…

Alvin was lying naked on Charles’s chest who was also naked. They were still panting from the intense of their hot fuck. “What are you going to do when you leave this place?” Alvin asked Charles. He sighed deeply and kept quiet for a while. “Well, I don’t know. Probably I will use what I could get here and reconstruct my studio. That is the only talent I have of course.” He said. “What about you?” Charles asked. Alvin was also quiet for a while. “I don’t really know. May be I will move from the north and settle in Lagos or probably South Africa. I want to start my own modeling house. I am too bored and fucked up in the north. And it’s not as if I have people waiting for me.” He said with a pitiful face. Charles was a little confused. “What about your family?” He asked anxiously. Alvin giggled. “Do you know of any Nigerian family that will accept a gay, cross dresser and a sex model for a son?” He asked and they both laughed. “I am obviously disowned Charles.” He said looking at him.
Charles gave him a pitiful look; he was about speaking when Alvin interrupted him. “Don’t even feel sorry for me. I have no regrets for living my life to my tunes. It is their loss; they won’t be able to see this fine goddess.” He said flaunting his face and they laughed again. Charles giggled and smiled. “Isn’t it funny how we started by hating each other, but have a look at us now?” He asked as Alvin quickly replied. “The happiest hookers in the resort right?” He said and they laughed again. “You should make sure to keep in touch when we move on with our lives Alvin, I will surely miss you.” Charles said. Alvin giggled a little. “I will definitely miss you more.” He said as he jumped on him and started kissing him again. “We should do this for the last time in this resort.” He said as he started riding his dick…
