Daisy breathe in the air rushing in from an open window as if nothing has ever been so sweet, it was fresh, clean, just walking around in her boutique in that morning after her sleepover at Janet's house, she could feel the moisture clinging to her clothes, it felt thick as she breathe it in again, coating the insides of her throat....
She tossed her dirty clothes in a bag after changing into some clean clothes that she left at the boutique, she couldn't go home from Janet house, she was too unhappy to receive any bullshit from her jobless roommate....
Heaving in a deep breathe, she walk towards the boutique door and unlock it again, taking a look outside to see if anyone was touched enough to come into her boutique to buy the leftovers clothes...., she hasn't made any sales for the past few days and she was greatly troubled by it..., she stepped from the door and took a few minutes to look around the boutique again, each shelve was scanty suddenly reminding her of the money she rejected...
She mutter a silent prayer for God's intervention before trotting towards her chair to sit, she took out her phone with the intention of calling Laura to tell her everything that have gone down since she went AWOL and benched at her aunt's place....
Resentment triggered her guts when she caught sight of Adam through the glass door.., she quickly stood up from her chair when he walked in...
"You again..."Daisy crowled
"I called..."Adam said with nibbed lips
Daisy eyes flick from his jelly curled hair to his cute face down to his jean....."I didn't get your call..."
"That's because you blocked my number...."
Daisy grunts at the truth...."What are you doing here Adam...?"
"Am sorry.."
"Sorry you slept with my friend's husband or sorry what...?"
He lick his pink lips before answering..."I didn't know he's your friend's husband..."
"Did you know he's married..?"
"Yeah..."
Daisy grit..."Okay, you've said your sorry, you can leave...."
"How's she...?"He asked
"How's who...?"
"His wife.."
"How do you think she is, she's heartbroken after seeing her husband bang his boyfriend..."
"Am not his boyfriend..."
"Oh really, then what are you, his side chick...?"
"Am not a chick..."
"Oh i forgot, you're gay..."
"Am not gay..."
Daisy brow flutter before she hissed...."You bang men, that makes you gay.."
"I do it for the money okay..."
"For the money..., how much does he pay you...?"
"Your friend's husband...?"
"Are there other men..?"
Ignoring her question, he said..."He pays me well..."
"How much...?"Daisy slurred
"Sometimes 5ok, sometimes 4ok, the lowest he has given me is 20..."
Daisy narrowed her eyes at the amounts...."50k.."
"Yeah, he gives me that sometimes..."
"How does he pay, on regular basics, weekly basics or fùcking basics...?"
"He just gives me whenever i ask.."
"Jesus..."She blare out wondering if Tony is that rich....."So he gives you all that to fùck you....?"
"I top him sometimes..."
"Do you enjoy it...?"
"Enjoy what..?"He shrugged
"Fùcking him..."
"Yeah..."
"So indeed you're gay.."
"Am not gay, i told you i do for the money..."
"How many men have you slept with....?"
He sniffle before taking a step forward..."I lost count since i was 21..."
Daisy nib her lips...."So you just fùck these men for money..?."
"Am not gay if that's what you're getting at.."
"Keep telling yourself that..."
"Fine am bi..."
"Oh please stop with the bi shit, you suck a dick, you're gay.."
"You sucked my dick, does that make you gay...?"
Daisy frown at the sudden reminder of her mistake..."If a man sucks another man's dick, he's gay..."
"I love women too...."
Daisy huff..."Who arouse you more, men or women...?"
"Women...."
"Do you like boys..?"
"Yeah, sometimes..., mostly cute guys...."
"So you prefer guys to girls...?"
"No, i prefer girls..., i have a girlfriend, this gay stuff is just for the money..."
"Many gays today started with the money..."
"I'll stop..."
"That's your problem boy.., now if you're done talking, you can turn around and leave...."
"Am really sorry.."He said..."Didn't mean to hurt anyone.."
"Boy, the harm has already been done..., there's nothing you'll do that will make us unsee what we saw at the hotel room..."
"Am sorry..."
Daisy heave a deep sigh..."Do you know he hasn't been having sex with her...?"
He shrugged..."No..., he never really talked about his wife..."
"What does he talk about then...?"
"Nothing much, we just fùck and go..."
"Okay..."
"Do you hate me now...?"He asked....."Cos you know this whole thing is really not my fault..., if i knew his wife was your friend, i would have stopped going out with him..."
"Why do you sleep with married men..?"
"Cos they pay the big money..."
"So this men just have sex with you and give you money...?"
"You've asked that before..."
Daisy grunt..."Okay..."
"Are you pissed..?"
"Look Adam, i don't hate you, neither do i blame you for what happened, Tony should have kept his fly zipped...."
"Does that mean you'll answer my call whenever i call....?"
Daisy bit her lip in irritation..."No.., i think you're misunderstanding this whole thing, that night with you was a mistake, something am going to regret for the rest of my life, so do yourself a favour and stop calling..."
"I miss you..."He dared to say...."Don't you miss me...?"
Daisy face slowly dwindled into a serious frown...."Look here, this whole missing shit gat to stop...., you're young and you're gay, so do yourself a favour and find your other gay colleagues, don't call me, don't text me, don't think of me, just focus on your life...."
"What if i can't..?"
"Then that's your problem..., if you may excuse me, i was about going out when you swing in...."
"You just came in..."
"Have you been watching me...?"
He tucked his hands in his sides pocket..."I rushed here this morning, i stood at a block a few pace from here, saw you when you entered..."
"You came to apologise, didn't you...?"
"Yeah.."
"You have, you can leave now..."
"What if i don't want to leave...?"
"Then I'll force you to, use a cane if necessary..."
"Am not your younger brother, i don't need the cane..."
"Then a brain resetting slap then ..."Daisy snarled
He chuckle making Daisy even more furious.....
"Tell your friend i appreciate the fact that she didn't make a scene at the hotel yesterday..."
"Oh, you were scared everyone will realise you're gay..., or you were just scared of going to jail...?"
"I was scared of homophobes.."
"You didn't want your pretty face to be scarred with their fist..."
"Do you hate gays...?"
Daisy exhale and tossed a strand of her hair backward..."I thought you said you aren't gay...?"
"Am just asking..."
"You're confused boy, you don't even know what you are..."
"Do you...?"
"No, i believe everyone have a right to choose their sexual partners..., be it a man, a woman or an animal..."
"So you don't think been gay is wrong...?"He asked
Daisy sigh, the discussion is beginning to get on her nerves and she fear sooner or later she'll snap....."I never said it's right..., if God wanted it, he would have given Adam another Adam..., gay is sodomic..."
"Sodomic..!"
"From Sodom.., remember the little city God destroyed for their many sins..."
"So you think God hates gays...?"
"Boy, i don't have time for these questions and you better stop contacting Tony..."
"I will..."
"Am serious..."
"I will.."
"Okay, you can go now..."
"Am not done.."
"Am done with you, leave before i apply the word force..."
"Okay..."He said raising his hand in surrender.....
"Bye boy..."
"Bye..."He said before turning to walk away...
Daisy dragged in a deep breath of relief..
*****************
After a short walk to a store, Janet took her time to rest a bit under a tree a stone throw from her house before continuing her journey..., she yawn sluggishly when she got to her threshold before opening her room door.....
"Lily, you haven't touched your food..."Janet said tilting her nose...
"Am not hungry..."Lily replied
"You haven't eaten anything since lastnight, am not going to let you starve yourself because of that gay man..., you have to eat something..."
Lily sniffle but didn't reply...
"Lily..."
"I don't want to eat now okay..."Lily returned with a cringe at her..
"Why.., cos Tony is gay...?"
When Lily gave no reply, she continued...."Face it Lily, the man is gay, there's nothing you can do to un-gay him, the best you can do is move on with your life..."
"Move on to where Janet...?"Lily asked sharply sitting up on the bed..
"You have to figure that out yourself.., what do you want to do, patch things up with Tony...?"
"The thread is too loose..."Lily chided..."No amount of stitching will hold it..."
"So what are your plans...?"
"Am not going back to Tony...."
Janet exhale and drop the bag of food items she bought on the floor..."Have he called you..?"
"Who..?"
"Tony.."
"I don't know, i blocked his number..."
"Even blocked numbers shows missed calls..."
I don't want to see his calls..., i don't even want to talk about him..."
Janet suck on her teeth..."You still have to eat.."
"I can't..., i don't feel hungry..."
"If you put your thoughts aside for a second, you'll realise how hungry you are..., so please Lily, eat something...."
"I can't..."She said..."I'll eat when am hungry..."
Janet sigh, she was about taking the food away when a light knock rumbled on her door..., her heart raced at the thought that it could be Kenny, she's been avoiding his calls, what if it's him who is back....
When the knock came again, she took a deep breathe and convince herself she's going to listen to him, wishing what Daisy said about the ignored bitch turns out to be true...
Heart hammering against her chest, she opened the door, her encroaching excitement quickly disappeared from her face at the sight of Tony....
"Is my wife here...?"Tony asked
Janet quickly step outside and close the door....."What do you want...?"She riposte angrily...
"Am just looking for my wife..."
"What wife..!, the one you cheated on with another man...?"
"Is she here or not...?"Tony groaned irritated
"Why do you care where she is...?"
"She's my wife...."
"Oh please stop acting like you care..."Janet crowled angrily....."Seriously, you're disgusting..."
"Do not insult me..."
"Fùcking another man's ass....., that's the most disgusting thing ever.."
"Is my wife here...?"He asked ignoring her statement...
"Did you think of your wife when you were banging another man in the ass...?"
"That's not your business..."
"Of course it's not, i can't make such disgusting thing my business...."
"You've made your point, now where is my wife...?"
"Your wife isn't here..."
"Are you kidding me..?"
Janet hissed..."Do i look like am kidding you..."
"I know my wife is in there..."
"Go away fàggot..."
"What did you just call me...?"
"I called you a fàggot..., a shameless fàggot..."
"Take it back, that's offensive...."
"Offensive can wipe my ass..."Janet scowled..."Isn't that what you are..., a gay..?"
Tony glare at her, then he turn his focus to the door..."Honey..."He shouted...."Honey please i want to talk to you..."
"Leave sir, she doesn't want to see you..."
Ignoring her, he shouted.."Lily.., please can we talk..."
"Seriously, if you don't leave, am going to scream and the whole neighbourhood will come here and i will tell them what you are..."
Infuriated, he shift his gaze to her...."What am i..?"
"A gay..."
"You're such a homophobe..."
"Better a homophobe than a fàg..."She fling back
"My livestyle and who i choose to fùck is not your business lady, so please take the weight of my headache from your shoulder and focus on what concerns you..."
"My friend is what concerns me..., you broke her heart because your dick was too busy going in and out of a man's ass.."
"I'm gay, so freaking what...?"He growled...
"Go away.., Lily isn't in the mood to receive any gay visitor..."
"If you don't change your perspective about certain things that infact aren't your damn business, the sands of this earth will burn your feet really hard..., fùcking homophobe "Tony said brusquely before walking out
"Burn you too..."Janet shouted after him
