CHAPTER 52- THE RIGHT DECISION
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I...", I could not make out the words. I'm confused, and frustration is beginning to set in my mind.
Bowing my head slightly, I closed my eyes as I felt imaginations coming into my head. The next day after discovering my feelings for the same sex, I prayed for self-control. I also promised not to give in to my feelings.It would be for the best, not only for me but for Joseph. If we engage in sexual pleasures, that cannot reduce the liking we have for each other. It would only ignite the lust as well as the temporary happiness we would enjoy in the meantime. Most importantly, we will both be committing a grievous sin.Even if I give in, I know myself pretty well. A guilty conscience will eat me up, especially when I have promised the Almighty of doing the right thing.'God gave me feelings, not for me to give in to it but to learn how to control them'. I have two choices.
One is to give in to this weir

WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER53-BRINGING BACK MEMORIES
It has been a month since the drama with Joseph. Getting over the attraction I had for him was not as easy as I thought. Knowing fully well I did the right thing by not giving in to my feelings kept me aspiring to put an end to the liking I had for him.I know that I made the right decision. If I should accept Joseph's point of view, things would have been upside down. Not only will we be committing such a shameful act in secret, but we will also be sinning against the Almighty.Embracing your sexuality or controlling your sexual desires are those two options I had but I had to go for the latter because to me it is the best. It can be challenging sometimes having feelings that society shun, but with discipline, determination, and trust in God, everything will be a passing phase as long as you pass the bloom of youth.Although you may not have complete control over your desires, you do have control over your actions. You can choose not to act on wrong d
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 54- PROVERBS
I tried as much as possible to avoid scoffing at his gesture, as I decided to pretend."Hey. How are you doing Ethan?", I asked, placing more emphasis on his name.Putting on a sky blue trouser with a blue round neck to match, I must confess he looked almost the same as when we were in secondary school, except that he was taller this time.Leaning on the counter, his hands resting on it as he looked intently at me." I came to get drugs for my allergies, but can we perhaps talk outside?", he asked politely.The images of Joseph's nice gestures flashed through memory as I felt lost again. I only have a grudge against Ethan because I feel he likes treating ladies like trash, more of toys that are used and then disposed of while tired of using them."Oh Ethan, you are here. Michael, he asks of you since he came back from school recently. You guys can leave to talk. I will just sit here", Brother Joe's voice rang thro

CHAPTER 55- DECISION LOCKING INGetting home from my dad's pharmacy, I walked into my brother's room as his eyes were glued to a novel." Hey. Hope I am not disturbing you", I said, as I scanned his bedroom which was medium-sized with a bed, a study table and chair, and a wardrobe coupled with a bookshelf."No brother, You can join me", he said as he stood up, placing the novel on the bookshelf as he searches for something.My eyes scrutinized the whole room, as it fell on a paper beside the study paper. I picked it up as I read through the contents of the paper leaving me speechless.The paper explains the fantasy of a girl for my brother. Not only is she confessing her feelings for him, but she also wants them to be dating. My heart leaped as I read the writing of this girl who seemed rather poetic, as her wordings are crystal clear." Checking something out?", my brother's voice jolted me out of my reverie as I raised my head."Sor
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 56-ALMOST BULLIED BUT SAVED
Life is often filled with thorns and roses, I must confess that mine is no exception. It has been over 2 years after my encounter with Joseph, making it 4 years in my university.While on the negative side, I am still attracted to the same sex. Within those two years, I had two likings for the same sex, who happened to be two of my coursemates.Fortunately, I was able to get over them, as I tried as much as possible to avoid them like plague, admiring them from a distance. It was heartbreaking as I knew the consequences if I got too close to any one of them.My decision still stands though. As much as I am living, I will never give in to my feeling for the same sex. Once I pass my bloom of yout

He stretched his hand forward in a gentleman style, with a smile on his face."I am Michael, a 400-year Pharmacy student", I said, stretching my hand forward for a handshake.His hand was soft and cold, against my soft and warm hand. I released my hand from him, as I kept searching for the best way to leave him. He is making me nervous." I know your name already. Oyedele Michael, the most well-behaved Class Representative of our time. Not only that he is pure and innocent at heart", his voice calming as he leaned forward a little."I don't think I deserve those accolades. I make mistakes too sometimes which does not make me pure or innocent as you said", I refuted, my eyes scanning w

My eyes kept looking at him as he strolled towards me, a pair of black glasses on his face. The ray of sunlight makes him look more handsome.With a bag strapped at his back, he strolled down, making my breath hitch at every step he took. At that time, I could not help but wish that the carved chair beside me disappear. At least, it would save me from being in close contact with him if he stands up.He moved closer to me as he sat beside me, putting off his glasses."Wow, what are you doing here?", his voice breaking me out of my reverie.He is quite fast with his legs, I thought. I kept quiet looking at the other side, my sight lingering on the goose that appeared in groups, making their small noises." Oh! You look cold which does not fit your personality. I just hope Mrs. Linda apologized to you", those words making my heart beat faster.I could not help but wonder how he was able to make Mrs. Linda apologize to me that easi

I could not help but groan as I kept moving side by side on the bed. Summoning the all in me, I lifted my head only to be caught in awe. It is night already," I mused, as I felt my head spinning.I moved out of the bed with my feeble self heading to my study table, as I switched on my phone to reveal the time. Oh no! It is 10 pm. I can't believe I slept till nighttime.My stomach grumbled, waking me to satisfy my appetite soon. Chris is probably at a friend's place for his project. Since it was his final year, he has been head-on when it comes to projects.I checked my phone to realize an unknown number of calls, messages a

Fear could probably be the least of my expressions after knowing the true identity of Phil last night. I lost my appetite even when Chris nudged me to eat. He was the one that later ended up eating it all. According to him, it seems he likes me and thought I might help Phil one way or the other.I am still finding it difficult to digest it. Such a young man who happens to be charming, caring, and respectful. Even when I listed the qualities I liked about him, Chris still told me they do not write it on their foreheads whether they are cultists or not.****Standing in front of the mirror, I could not help but compliment my look. Putting on a grey round neck and black trousers with a black sandal. Chris suggested I put on clothes with his favorite colors."Be calm, I will be at the restaurant. I work there now", Chris said."

WEIRD FEELING Point of view
AUTHOR POINT OF VIEWI want to use this opportunity to thank all of my readers. It has been a long journey writing this book(my first book), all thanks to your reads and ever-supportive reviews.This book has shown different stages on how attraction for the same-sex might set in, as well as how society condemns it. Michael was a great male lead as he decided to control his feelings rather than give in to them.When I wanted to write this book, a question came to my mind. "Why are they gay people as well as lesbians?"I did my research realizing that feelings toward the same sex might start to set in due to involuntary sexual arousal(which is normal).So I thought of writing a book about how a character would be attracted to the same sex but control those feelings. I made Michael go through different stages, to self-discovery and assuring himself he is not gay, not until he involves himself in

WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 66- A SAD ONE
Every day seems like a passing phase. Every moment is like a good time. Ever since my last talk with Chris and Phil, I am yet to make a decision. It seems suffocating thinking of what to go for, especially with a bitter feeling in the pit of my stomach.One of my thoughts ended up being against what my body is craving for. I always find myself asking questions. If I eventually am with Phil, will I be happy? What if I remain single and this weird feeling keeps persisting? How will I even figure out the right thing to go for?I looked at the streets with the simmering of light as Phil draped his hand on my shoulder. Anytime I try to tell him to stop trying to be always with me, he becomes sad. In as much as I want him to be back with Senior Joy, he was able to get what I was trying to do.I don't know what is happening to me. I no longer feel those butterflies in my Tommy, anxiety, and nervousness never creep
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 65- DECISION CREPTING IN
It would have been a worse scenario for me if I continued to feel the pleasure, but it stopped. My body became numb, as I closed my eyes, the imaginations of Joseph's attempt to rape me crept into my mind.I felt a surge of power as I pushed Phil away."I can't do this. I can't. It is an immoral act", my voice started shaking as tears glimmered in my eyes.I could feel the surprised look on Phil as his gaze was on me. He groaned, then hissed before moving closer to me." Are you okay?", he asked with concern as I nodded."Are you sure you don't want to do this? We both like each other, don't we?", he tried to reassure but I could not help but feel a bitter taste on my tongue." I don't want to get carried away by temporary pleasure. I know you are probably angry but I can't seem to keep off my mind from how we will both feel after having sex. I can't do this. God condemns such act", I said, my mind r
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 64- CAN I?
It has been over three weeks with Phil. It has not been an easy one, especially with asking for forgiveness from those he had greatly hurt or done something bad to. So happy that the five people we went to forgave him, tho it took time.It was not easy. Some took days before they forgave Phil. That of Senior Joy and Kevin took a day but the others were like hard nuts to crack. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting, but letting go of the hurt. That is obvious from those set of people Phil offended.*****I could not help but beam with a smile as I covered the lid of the cooler container containing the melon soup. I packed it in a small bag, alongside some wraps of pounded yam.Getting outside the kitchen only to meet Chris glancing at me."Ahem, why the stare?", I asked, trying to act calmly without giving away my real mood." Why do I feel you are guilty of something?", Chris asked, munc
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 63- A LITTLE BIT OF JEALOUSY
It was just as if I was reading the book of Revelation. Philip got entangled with bad friends, who brought him nothing but trouble. He joined the cultist against his will but under the influence of alcohol and drugs.He was forced to do his first assignment or the one closest to his heart will suffer the consequences. He yielded, afraid of facing to see his loved ones dead.Phil turned his head, his eyes red, full of regrets and pain. I felt my heart heavy, as I tried to remain strong at least for him. He needs to let it all out. I also need to know his final decision(s)."I wept that very day, my heart feeling like sinking. I betrayed the trust and love between Joy and me to save her and my foster parents. Trust me when I say that the cult leader meant it as I have seen proof of how he causes the death of other people without even thinking. Most importantly, no traces tend to link to any of his apprentices in this evil
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 62- REVELATION 2
I felt a surge of emotions as I listened to Philip's story. My body trembled at what he has gone through. No doubt the saying that 'THE RICH ALSO CRY' is not a fallacy.Waking up with people you feel were your parents, then they neglected you, becoming business tycoons. You had a strange feeling they are not your parents. Confirming it, it turns out to be true.Facing your so-called parents only to realize they held the truth away from you for over 20 years of your life. The truth was revealed as your true mother abandoned you in front of an orphanage, leaving you to face a cruel world all by yourself.I don't know who to blame right now, whether it was his real mother who left him for over 20 years without turning back to look for him or his foster parents who placed their work lifestyle over their adopted son."You know, that time, after knowing my real mother was back, I wished she could die. I bu
WEIRD FEELING CHAPTER 61- REVELATION 1
I don't know how I should feel right now. I saw his two hands form into fists as he bowed his head a little. With the little courage within me, I continued staring at his figure even when fear and nervousness enveloped my mind.Few seconds passed as my heart kept pacing. His lips twitched into a smile as he picked his spoon to continue eating his ice cream."Who told you I am a cultist?", he questioned a smile still on his lips, his eyes peeking at me making me feel stupid for asking such a question." I'm sorry I asked such a question. I…", I find words stuck in my throat.He folds his arms, moving his head closer to my ear as he whispers."I am a cultist. The leader of AZA CULT GROUP, one of the notorious cult gangs in this University"I felt as if a knife pierce through my skin as he moved back, his face now showing a sad feature. I tried to move my lips but they felt glued. He is joking right?", I can feel myself asking my i
