Must Read: INTERMISSION (The Love) - Season 1 - Episode 44

I walked into the room to see Evelyn busy sleeping. My friends have left after a long discussion. I sat by her side and run my hand through her long brimming hair as she slept innocently. Her body was covered by the bed sheet while her head rested on a pillow with her head facing the wall. I brought my hand to my noise and inhale the scent of her hair. Her back was facing me in such a way that her a-s sprout out making it more full and bigger
I smiled as i watched her sleep innocently. I ran my hand through her body down to her a-s and message it gently. I got off from the bed and pulled off my cloth, since she was asleep, i don’t mind been naked because that was how i used to do when i was alone. I walked toward the bathroom and picked up a towel before heading into the bathroom. In no time, the shower was running as i took time to wash my body and check out my manhood. The thought of Evelyn in bedroom stiffen my manhood that the erection gave me a slight pain.

I walked back to the room and glanced at Evelyn; her position has changed, her face was facing my dressing table but i thought that she was still asleep. I walked to the wardrobe and picked my desired cloth; an over-sized short sleeve white top and a short, since i have no place to go for the day, i decided to dress casual. I picked up my lotion and was applying it on my body when Evelyn made movement on the bed and i looked back

ME: you are awake** i asked her as i saw seated on the bed**

EVELYN: yeah! I was woken by the running water.

I got carried away by sleep after taking my bath
I couldn’t believe that she has been awake before i even walked back into the room.

She actually saw me rinse my body and stood naked in the room. Her reason was no longer farfetched from me; she was obvious staring at my stacked naked body but thank God that she was only able to see my back because i was backing her throughout. I smiled devilishly in my mind as i was ready to give her whatever she wants and even in excess
ME: i never knew you have been awake.

I just decided to take a bath **i said with smile**

EVELYN: no smile yet. Have got a lot of question for you

ME: as you wish my lady **i said with a smirk**

She laughed and threw a pillow at me which i dodged and picked it up before walking to sit by her side on the bed

ME: so, what is your question or rather your questions?

EVELYN: it really took me by surprise to know that you are the son of Derick. You never told me and i was blinded by love to recognise your surname or your resemblance with him

ME: i never wanted to talk about it
EVELYN: but why did you hide it from me, from everybody, from your friends?

ME: like yourself, you never want to build your future around your father, around his wealth.

You wants to build yourself by yourself; you build your future with what you have got and not what your father has. You do everything by yourself, chose whatever you want to do and never want to go by other people’s will. Mine was almost like that but more advanced with uncertainty, with family challenges. I wants people to see me as who i am, as they see they see others and not as God because of my father’s wealth. I don’t want people to know about through my father but to live the life that most people lives. I didn’t want to tell anybody about my parents, what i am is enough to help and guide me in achieving my dreams. I want to be strong, to know about life and suffering. To build myself in such a way that everything, everybody will be more valued in my sight **i poured out**

EVELYN: but your father values everybody, the poor, the sick, the needy, and the handicaps.

ME: yeah! My father was generous but he goes through some certain things, some trial.

That made him valued everything that he come to meet

EVELYN: you want to suffer, you to be poor?

ME: no, not what i meant. I mean that i don’t want my father’s wealth to influence anything about me, about my future because he don’t know the kind of future that i wants to build, he don’t know anything about my dream and he don’t even know anything about me. I lived a life where am lonely, alone with myself
EVELYN: but you are not alone, i am here for you and your friends are always with you. You should have at least tell people about yourself
ME: but you never told anybody about yourself
EVELYN: but i told you about myself. You should at least replicate that gesture by telling me about yourself and the last thing i will do was telling anybody about your secret. But rather, you chose to lie to me every time i asked you. I don’t know why i couldn’t detect anything relating to that despite the fact that i could read almost everything about you

I even wondered by myself how Evelyn who always read me like an open book could not notice anything about me

ME: that means that you could not know everything about a person. You cannot even know everything about yourself because what you do sometimes will took you by surprise **i said with smile**

EVELYN: we actually have many things in common if not everything. But i heard you say something about family problem, can you tell me about it?

I didn’t know why i even tell her about my family challenges when i know that she will keep everything she heard that will be of interest to her in her memory. I don’t know either to tell her because i am not the type that will tell friends about their family problems no matter how heavy the problem might be and i will not even talk about it with my family member outside our home because people eavesdrop what you may be talking and this is an era where people could publish anything that would not even be of benefit to them

ME: you won’t understand
EVELYN: i will understand and mark my words; nobody will hear it from me no matter what happen

ME: it started so many years ago, when i was still a kid, 4years old to be precise. I have a senior sister; she was two years older than me. As kids, we will engage in some play which will sometime lead to a serious fight between us. My father was never around; he was always on one trip or the other and only return during the weekend and sometime will not even return. Every time i fought with my sister, i always come up on top. This kept on happening but nothing more than that but it got to a point that my father will be backing her and punishing me every time we have a misunderstanding even if she was the one at fault. She was a chronic problem type and will quarrel over a little thing ranging from the remote to toys. I was the silent type from my childhood time; i hardly talk that even raised concern in the family. I have to undergo many tests but all result says that i was alright. And i never find trouble and will quarrel whenever someone has pushed me beyond the wall.

But i was surprised when my father changed suddenly, he began to show love and attention to my sister without even noticing that i existed. It surprised my mother that she will be the only one who cared about me because my sister also hated me for not just reason and will kept on mocking me. That led to my dad punishing me at any slightest thing that i do **i was controlling the tears that was forming in my ear**
EVELYN: and what brought about you been here while your siblings are in another country.
ME: it was one day, my sister insisted that she take my meat while we were eating, i was surprised why she will demand that when she has a lot in her plate. I didn’t take it serious as i continued with my food without replying her. I was too engrossed with my food that i didn’t know when she wetted me with the whole content of the stew on the table. I have no choice as i jumped on her and gave her the beating of her life. She was badly injured from the beating.

My father wanted to punish me but i locked myself in my room for the rest of the day.

The following day, i was surprised when my father told me to prepare to travel back home and stay with my uncle. My mother tried everything to make him change his mind but he was adamant.

EVELYN: i could feel your pain. Now i understand why you couldn’t tell me about them. Don’t worry, it will be okay, i will do anything to make you happy. And i will try to tell my dad about it so that he could talk to your father
ME:**surprised**do you know my dad?
I didn’t know that she knew my father neither do i know that my father and her father have been friend with her father. But since they were friends, why doesn’t my father tell him about me or was he guilty about what he has done? Anyway, that could not change anything, i love those who love me and hate those who hate me not excluding him. Now that i have gone through different problems, there is no need to have human conscience again
EVELYN: he has been a very good friend to my dad, and also a family friend since i was kid. He equally helped my dad with finance during his election. He was very cool and gentle; he always buys me beautiful toys whenever he will be visiting. He actually liked children and i wonder what brought about his attitude toward you his own first son. But don’t worry, i will do my best
ME: no, thank you. I don’t want you to tell your father about me and i don’t want you to tell him anything either

EVELYN: why? **surprised**
ME: i don’t want to have anything to do with him again. He never cared about me, never send me any money for my upkeep and will never call to ask of me except for scolding and giving orders. I don’t have anything to do with his so called wealth. I am going to hustle for my own money **i said with all seriousness**
EVELYN: but you need him to help you with finance in order to get to wherever you want
ME: i don’t need his goddamn money; i will get mine without him or his money, i am going to surprise him, i am going to prove to him that i never needed him and will never do **i fumed**
EVELYN: you have to change your decision Ben. He loves you and has a reason for doing everything he does

ME: do you know how it felt to be abandoned by your own father? Never seen your siblings?
EVELYN: i understand but you still have to let go, you just can’t keep on hating your dad
ME: please this is the last time we will talk about this and don’t bring the topic up again **i angrily shouted at her**
