2021-09-12 23:38:51Ronan had cried because O'Connell had broken his heart. Said he didn't love him. And that all the times they had made love and everything, that it was Jeremy O'Connell thought about.
O'Connell wanted to stop himself from feeling terrible, but he couldn't help it. He had hurt Ronan, a boy who truly loved him and it was affecting him deeply. Cutting sharp into him like knives.
It was unbearable, completely making him fell like a horrible person, and leaving his mind troubled.
"Why did you act like you loved me, why? Why the fuck did you give me false hopes!?" Ronan yelled, causing passerbys to turn and then threw him curious looks. But he didn't even care. The boy who he loved just broken his heart and shattered it into a thousand pieces.
"Ronan, I thought you said you could never love anyone. That you could never get tied down to anyone? So I figured it was best to not catch any feelings for you. So it's not even my fault." O'Connell tried to m

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me this? You fucking knew you were going to leave. And you kept it away from me!" This was Ronan, roaring in anger. Something which made O'Connell flinched. "How could you do this? How could you? Fucking telling me a day to the day, you're to return back to Nigeria." Ronan was pacing back and forth in an aggressive manner, that O'Connell moved farther away from him. Scared he was going to pounce on him, and beat his ass. "I was scared to let you know, okay? I didn't expect to find love in London, after getting my heart broken in Nigeria, three months ago." O'Connell opened up, shoving his fists into his pockets as he looked around him in sadness. Because he knew he was never going to see there again. And Ronan instantly snapped his head back, to look at O'Connell in disappointment. Then he shook his head. "How can you even say that?" "Because it's the truth." O'Connell supplied, after taking a hard dry gulp, feeling pain

Continuation of flashback O'Connell snapped his eyes back to Ronan's, just in time to catch his eyes. Eyes that had been on him all those while he had been lost in his thoughts. Ronan had watched him in silence, and he wanted to know what was going on in his mind as well. But he wasn't staring at O'Connell like he wanted to sleep with him. He was looking at O'Connell with care. Like O'Connell was someone who had a special place in his heart. O'Connell saw Ronan's hand moving, and then he placed it untop his. He wondered why Ronan did that. Because Ronan was beginning to make him feel things he didn't want to feel. Things only Jeremy made hum feel. But this time, Ronan's was different, and O'Connell was afraid it was stronger as well. O'Connell gave Ronan a curious look, wordlessly asking him what he was up to. But Ronan chose to remain silent, and then caressed O'Connell's hand. Making him feeling the heat that was radiating from his warm bi

O'Connell woke up and found himself at the hospital, with Raymond who had a worried facial expression, staring into an empty space.O'Connell took a hard dry gulp that it almost hurt, and then he raised his hand up to touch his head. There he felt a bandage.Something which reminded him of the treacherous hitting, he suffered from his own mother, just because she was having negative thoughts about him. Especially when she saw him with a boy."I can't stay with mom anymore." O'Connell's told Raymond this. And his words Suddenly pulled Raymond out from his own thoughts.On seeing O'Connell awake, Raymond blew out a breath, then propped his hand under his chin."I've been thinking about this too. Your mom seems to be getting worse each passing day. And it's not safe for you to live with her anymore."In as much as it hurt to hear this, O'Connell knew he needed to man up.

Three months later.It was 10pm in the night, and I was heading home from work, hoping my roommate Bentley had already ordered some take out meal, when a car drove out of nowhere, just to obstruct me from getting to my apartment which was just two blocks away.It was quite odd that someone would do this. Maybe it was Penelope O'Sullivan who had sent someone to come abduct me, so she could torture me to her satisfaction.Or maybe not. Because I decided to cut off from my sexual relationship with Scott. I did it because I was already fed up. We were using ourselves just for pleasure. And maybe I wanted someone to genuinely care for me, and be mine alone.I tucked my hands inside my pocket, as I waited for the person to come out of the car.And right at that moment, someone hopped out of the car.He was as tall as I was, and had a huge trained physique. But I couldn't see his face properly, since it he chose to stand at

Then I took a bolt and headed straight to my mother's house.Although it had been a long long while, but I still knew the roads to Raymond's home.Things were more advanced in Lagos, and I knew that I missed being in Lagos, because I grew up and had all of my childhood memories there.My three siblings were looking all grown, and the two older siblings had crashed into me with a bond crushing hug, despite they were still morning Mom. While the youngest just stood back and watched, with a sad facial expression on. He wasn't really familiar with me, because I had left when he was barely a year old.Grandpa and Uncle Tosin were really glad to see me. And it was sad that grandpa was aging really fast.

Where his teammate was and made to pass the ball to him. But O'Connell decide against it, because he felt the boy damn sluggish and less calculating so he changed his mind and dribbled down the court, with his heart thumping loudly in his chest.When he was quite close to the opponents net, he didn't jump, he just threw the ball and watched as it glided through the net and bounced on the floor.They were ten in Number who had arrived at the basketball court that evening and the coach splited them into two groups and made them play against eachother.The game finally came to an end, and O'Connell's group won the other group.In his group, O'Connell scored 1

After graduating out of National University of Ireland, Galway, O'Connell chose to stay in Galway. He got an apartment of his own, and did minor jobs, because he had it at the back of his mind that he was going to head back to Drogheda, to work and stay there. His father had been more than supportive to him, and O'Connell was really glad he took the bold step, to look for him. Being the heir to his dad's companies, he decided to not stay with his dad and brother, since he wanted to work for himself and earn his own money. He was to inherit most of his dad's possession at 26.O'Connell missed his mother, Raymond and siblings. He hadn't completely cut off all ties with them, but he chose to stay away.

Thomas, that was his name right? O'Connell wondered, as he looked at his kid step brother. Who was purely Irish and not a biracial like him. Plus the boy was really handsome. His blonde hair was skin cut. And he was chubby. Still had that round baby fatness on his cheeks, arms and stomach.The kid as if sensing being watched for the second time, looked at O'Connell and offered him a smile. With chocolate stained all over his chubby round cheeks.Not that O'Connell didn't love his siblings from his mom's side, but he just felt there would be a bond between him and this kid. Well, that would be if he would by accepted by his father.He shoved his fists into his pants pockets, then tucked his tongue inside his cheek to feel the soft silk-like flesh. Trying to make himself feel relaxed a bit.What if his dad denied him, and sent him away. Would he return back to Nigeria to meet his mom? He doubt he would. He even made the decision to look for some job a
