Collins' POV It always felt stupid. To die for someone you loved, it always felt stupid to me. Even when Sam Smith released a song called “ somebody to die for”, I felt he was stupid enough to want to die for someone. Why would you want to die for anybody in the name of love? I remember watching this Asian movie: League Of Avengers; I couldn't tell if it was Korean or Chinese, but it seemed somewhere in the middle, just like I couldn't tell if Jumong or Alchemy Of Souls was Korean or Chinese. In the movie, Bi Yao, the female lead, sacrificed herself for Xiao Fan, the male lead, to save him from being killed by the leader of the righteous sect. Yes, Jesus Christ died for us; we were told, but that was different, he is God, and he was doing it to save all mankind, not some cute guy that he loved, and as I there stood on the sanctuary, in the dim darkness caused by the power shortage, and the heavy rainy noise that was accompanied with lightning and thunder, I came to understand J
In the beginning, Judaism which begot the Christian faith was a faith that was built on sacred sex. Or at least that was what one author like that was trying to say through his book. I think it was Dan Brown? Yeah, and the book was The Da Vinci Code. In the book, speaking through a fictional Harvard university scholar, he buttressed the fact that sex was a divine act through which men encountered God through the sacred feminine. That the Holy of Holies in the temple built by king Solomon not only housed God, but also his female equal known as Shekinah. He told millions of his readers that men would visit the temple and the priestesses would help them to encounter God through physical contact and bla bla bla. That all sounded stupid when I read it, so so stupid and absurd, but I had cause to doubt myself after what happened between Nuel and I right there in the chapel, in the presence of God. Everything was slow, delicate, sophisticated. He broke the kiss and slowly shut t
Nuel's POV There is this saying that says that behind every dark cloud is a silver lining. Well, permit me to add that behind every storm is a steamy reconciliation sex. Not just any kind of sex, but the type that ultimately bonded us together and made me realize that I wanted to have Collins by my side forever. The storm lasted for two days, of which everyone stayed put, afraid of coming out and getting washed away. I knew that the people inside the church would have no problem finding what to eat. There were supplies of biscuits and juice and milk and water, usually donated for the children, and I was pretty sure that the items would be of very good use in the storm. The only thing that was in the chapel was water, nothing else, and Collins and I survived those two days drinking only that water and sleeping in each other's arms. I wasn't so afraid about what The Lord thought about our relationship anymore because I got to realize that God is love, and he loved us beyond bo
I walked around the parish premises, watching as different religious societies set up their altars and started their prayers. The Legion Of Mary and The Blue Army were the only societies that still had members with zeal. Even before they began saying the rosary, more than half of their members had already come, sitting comfortably and waiting. The other societies; the society of sacred heart, society of St Jude, and the rest were all scanty, with about three or four members in attendance, but nevertheless they inspired me. For the fact they were still holding on even on the verge of societal death was a true proof of their faith. I walked to the gathering center where catechism was held, and as I walked there, children shouted “ good evening father” so loudly that one might think that they were trying to wage war against me instead of greeting me. I answered them with a warm smile, asking how they were and all that. They were little kids, about four and five and six years, and i
“ Come in”, I said when I heard a knock on the door. Collins opened the door and walks in, clutching his doctrine book and Bible as he came closer. “ Good evening father”, he said, standing before me as I sat on the bed and putting his two hands around my neck. I would've preferred he didn't call me father whenever we were alone, I liked when he used to call me Nuel, but he insisted on doing so as a sign of respect for my priestly office. “ Don't worry, you will always be my sexy father”, he had said with an enchanting smile. “ Good evening, how are you?” I asked, putting my hands around his waist and drawing him closer to myself. “ I'm fine, how about you? You sound very tired”, he said, sitting on my lap as still held him, inhaling his sweet scent. He always smelled nice, not like perfume nice or anything, it was just his natural smell and still it was so so nice. “ Well, I am tired”, I said, pouting my mouth and making baby eyes. “ Why? Did you do anything tedious today
Collins’ POV I slept with Nuel, on his bed, both of us naked and drunk with sex. He was a beast that night, and his testosterone levels were at it's highest peak. We went for four rounds in one night, and after the fourth one he still wanted to go again. I knew that if I had allowed him, he would've torn my manhole into shreds. I said no, giving the excuse that I was already feeling sleepy. Not that I didn't love it, but too much of everything was bad. It was like having way too much sugar and knowing that you could risk reducing your insulin levels. He then asked if he could put his dick in my ass and fall asleep and that, I allowed. He inserted his dick in me, cuddling me in a spoon as we both fell asleep, skin to skin, connected, totally vulnerable before each other, and eventually woke up to attend morning mass. I was washing my hands after taking a leak when Franklin walked into the restroom, bolting the door after him. I couldn't tell why, but the fact that he was alon
I remember watching the Sex Education movie with my siblings. Michael had first seen the movie and while we were all having a conversation one day, he mentioned that I reminded him so much of a character in the movie, a “ stupid gay boy” as he said, with utter disgust in his voice. Hearing him say that made me pretty anxious. I mean, he might've found something that said I was gay apart from my impromptu feminine gestures that always suffixed whenever I spoke. When we all started watching the movie, I was curious about this character, this gay boy that he said he hated so much, and on encountering Eric Effiong, a British-Nigerian gay character in the movie, I knew for sure that he was the one Michael was referring to. I fell in love with Eric as a character, but it was clear to me that I was nothing like him. He was flamboyant and outgoing, he was brave, fearless, loud, unable to be trampled upon, and he never hid who he was. He always wore flashy clothes and sometimes, also w
“ It isn't me, okay? I wasn't the one who uploaded the video”, Esther said again over the phone, and even though I didn't want to believe her, my gut was telling me that she was telling the truth. “ Then how is the same video everywhere?” I asked, bringing my voice down so as not to attract my siblings. “ It's very possible that someone hacked into one of our phones and took the videos, or that someone kind of had access to our phones somehow”. “ Oh my God, that's likely the case”. “ Come online, let's all verify”, she said and cut the call. “ This cannot be happening”, I said to myself as I scratched my hair, wondering if lice had flown from the video and into hair. “ It's very probable that someone hacked one of our phones”, Esther declared as I came into the group chat. “ That can be very possible, but even if that was the case, we are still in big shit”, Matilda sent her reply, “ especially you, Esther. You took the video, and we indulged in it with you, and now it
“ Check the angle, the angle of the videographer, it's not the same”, I said, noticing the difference in the two videos. “ What angle?” Matilda asked, as Esther was still typing her message. “ The angle from where the person is taking the video”. “ It's not the same as mine!”, Esther said with a realization emoji. “ Oh my God, that's true”, Matilda said, also using the realization emoji. “ How could I have missed that?” Esther said, “ I was hiding on the right side of the board locker, but the person who took this video is on the left!” “ That means you weren't the only one who took the video”, I said, feeling relieved and happy. “ But could you have not noticed that there was someone on the other side of the locker board?” Matilda asked with a snarling emoji. “ I guess I was too focused on what was going on to pay attention to what was happening around me”, Esther replied. “ But why would someone do this to Ella?” I asked, going into the boys room for some privacy.
