61:PARTY AGAIN?

A week after the incident, everything went back to normal as if nothing had happened. Brown was doing fine though he was complaining of backaches now and again. His lover was always closer I him but couldn't bring himself to tell Brown what had happened. 

Brown's parents thought that maybe Brown had hit his back on something and was not telling them just the way he never bothered them with anything. 

When the pain persisted and it tied Brown down from going to school, his parents decided to take him to the hospital. This meant that they had to ask for permission from their employee to allow them to take Brown to the hospital. 

Which he did but not before offering to take Brown to the best hospital. 

His lover became suspicious of the gratitude but still couldn't tell Brown's parents what was happening.

The doctor from the hospital gave Brown some tablets for the back pain and Brown was brought home in the evening. His parents were thankful. 

That evening, his lover came over and paid him a quick visit just as they did. Brown decided to explain to his lover that he was not feeling okay when he was with his Parent's Boss. "I felt like he sexually wants me, like you and me," Brown confided to him. 

His lover was shocked and afraid that Brown might end up finding the truth, though he thought it was good for Bron to know the truth, he still felt like it's too early and Brown and his family might be killed if he tries to tell them the truth.

"Try to avoid him," his lover said and Brown nodded though he was not fully satisfied with the answer that he was given.

This went back to normal, Brown went back to school after getting better. He went on excelling in his performance just as he used to be and kept his relationship private. Though he hated that he kept his lover private from people and thought that it will be good for people to know who he loves.

After two months of the incident, Brown and his family got invited to another party. Brown was preparing to join the university and he had plans with his lover whom they were going to join the same university.

Before the party, his lover convinced him not to go and instead stay behind. But Browns parents insisted that his employee had a good surprise gift for Brown so it was a must for them to go. 

His lover thought that it was another scheme planned by the boss to molest Brown then erase his memory just as he had done a month before.

The night before the ceremony, his lover came by just as usual. He wanted to tell him of the events that happened two months ago. He wanted and he tried every way to tell him but he didn't know how to tell Brown that he had been raped and the memories erased from his mind. 

He then thought that even if he tells him, how would he believe him now? Brown might think of him in a bad way and this might ruin their relationship that has been stable for four years. He decided to let the situation go and be his companion every time they are inside the big castle.

"Avoid secluded places," his lover warned and Brown just nodded taking a piece of advice just the way he takes advice every day from him.

"Am serious," he emphasized while shaking his chubby cheeks.

"Okay, I will dude," he said before they all went their separate ways. 

The day of the celebration arrived, just like the first party, Brown and his parents were picked up in a limousine sleek black screaming of money and power. His lover had earlier that day secured an opportunity to work in the castle as one of the waitresses. He made sure to disguise himself as possible. 

Drinks were served, wine, champagne, alcohol and soft drinks for kids and teenagers. 

The party was a grand birthday party of the daughter of the Family. 

No one has ever seen her. People knew that there was a daughter in the family but they had never seen one. Today was the day they were going to show their daughter and her beautiness.

For the surprise that was in store for Brown, no one knew about that. It possibly wants going to be the precious daughter of the family.   Brown was from a poor family to be given their precious daughter. 

Maybe he was just going to be awarded another scholarship just as they have been doing to help support Brown's family as usual.

For once Brown was invited to play the piano.  He was a good pianist and he knew tapping on the keys won't pose any trouble. 

His lover was all daggers as he saw people surrounding Brown as he was going to play the piano. He eyed the man of the house as he smiled like a fool and throwing his pretentious laugh knowing white well what he wanted from Brown. He just stood at the corner to listen to the music and not to create any attention.

In his heart, Brown was undecided about the tunes to play. He had several that he could choose from. But he wanted to play a specific tune, a tune of love and identification. He knew that deep down his lover was standing somewhere watching him and listening to him. As much as he had played him this song once, he was going to play it again and tell them that he also has a lover somewhere even though no one knows of him.

He pulled the chair and sat down, flickered his blue orbs and run his hands on the gold piano that was now facing him.

He cleared his throat and placed his hands on the keys gently and started tapping on them as he murmured the song. His lover was amused that he decided to play that song. He knew that deep down, Brown wanted him around and he wants him too. The only thing that was preventing him from running across the hall and hold his hand and swirl him in a quartz dance was the Respect, the respect he had for Brown and his family. He just stood silently and listened as he went on playing the piano and singing.

What Brown didn't know was that the song was chosen by the birthday girl as her entrance song. After playing the first stanza and singing the chorus, the birthday girl decided to use the second stanza to match in. Graced In a red balloon dress, swaying her slender body. All eyes were at her, but Brown hadn't shifted focus, it seems in his mind the person he wanted to feel the song was already with him. His eyes were closed and his hands were busy on the piano, not noticing the lady of the party had already arrived.

He went on till he completed his song and let the keys' voice die down with him in silence.

He then had echoes and applause, he let the moment savour and smiled to himself like a fool while still on his chair but only to open his eyes and find that the cheering was all for the birthday girl who had made a grand entrance while he was singing. He quickly composed himself and stood up from his seat and clapped just like everyone was clapping for the birthday girl as she ascended the last staircase.

Everyone was gawking at her, Brown looked at her and admitted that she looked stunning in her way. People complimented them on her appearance and she flashed them a smile. Brown just stood near the piano and looked as everyone else went ahead to compliment her.

"You are standing there like a fool, just go and shake her hand," his lover sneaky told him. 

Before he could reply to him,  he had already escaped and was serving other people drinks.

He decided to move his body and pushed it forwards in the girl's direction. When everyone had had their turn of complimenting her, he found himself in the queue going to compliment her. 

He stretched his hands at her but fixed his gaze on the floor. 

"You are so shy," she chuckled while shaking Brown's eyes.

"What, no! just trying to get something to say," stammered Brown.

"I love your eyes," she said again as if seducing Brown to talk to him.

"Thanks," murmured Brown and fixed his eyes somewhere else.

Brown didn't even know what to tell her. He has never found himself in a situation that he has to express himself to a girl and tell her anything. Right now he just wanted to turn his back and go. But he knew the way his hands were being hold here he was not going to make it without having to discuss something with her.
