Must Read: Sinister Affections

Henry made himself comfortable on his chair in his office. The other night gave him a slight shock. The last person he expected to see in Danladi’s house was Diana. He had met her Unclad… Let me rephrase that – she was having just a duvet wraped around her breath-taking shape. And there was Danladi, He didn’t even bother to check who was in his house. Diana had showed Henry the couch and slipped up the stairs back into Danladi’s room.



Henry was awake half the night due to the knocking of Danladi’s bed against the wall upstairs. He wondered If the guy couldn’t tighten the bolts used to assemble his bed instead of causing such needless noise whenever he was banging.


‘Does Shindara even know?’ He asked himself.



Maybe she knew.

‘But hey! Shouldn’t I be happy about this? If Danladi is sleeping with Diana, definitely his eyes are off Shindara! Ha! So then It’s me, I’m next in line’ Henry didn’t realize that he was now on his feet and adjusting his fitted suit in a way a school boy would proudly adjust his neatly ironed new school uniform. His grin was wide ears flinched. He was feeling good. Imagning how good his luck was.
”Errrrr, Uncle, are you okay?” Tony said scoffing along. He had been standing there watching his uncle grin with a puffed up chest and wide arms… Obviously Feeling Himself.
”Eh, How long have you been there?” Henry was puzzled. He quickly went back to his normal cold and boring look and sat at the edge of his desk.
”Long enough for me to see you FEELING YASEF like a proud peacock” Tony settled into the sofa in the office. He had just come back from school and had decided to come straight to Henry’s office instead of going home for fear of meeting that Deville Trina at home.
”You this little wimp! You’ve come here to suffocate me here with your prresence again” Henry Slipped out his smartphone from his inner pocker and staarted clicking away.
”So, uncle, why were you puffing up then?”
Henry was short of words. ”Oh I was…I…I…No…I was….. Oh forget it, I was thinking of something real good” Henry didn’t know why he felt so pressed to answer the boy.
”Something good, Like Shindara!” Tony jumped in jubilation on the sofa. This was the first time he’d hear his uncle talk about a girl. A girl he actually liked. Someone that wasn’t a chatter-box like Trina.




Tony obviously doesn’t know Shindara.



Henry didn’t reply. He just kept his face fixed on his phone. He thought it was best to ignore the dude.
”let me help you with her. You can’t win her heart with your boring swagg and look” Tony flexed his arms like a badass fahion expert.
”and what do you know about girls?” Henry seemed interested now. He was looking over his phone snobbishly at Tony who was busy demonstrating his badass-ity.
”More than Bro Danladi knows!” Henry folded his arms. His facecap was turned backwards.
”I’m all ears” Henry tucked his phone into his pocket and decided to listen to what Tony had to say. As stupid as it seems, he was looking up to a thirteen year old for wooing advice.

****************

”Yeah. I’ll be with you shortly baby..” Danladi crooned into the phone making his voice so sleek and soft that it would have a softening effect on the girl at the other end. ”Bye”

He hung up the call and had an annoyed look on his face. He didn’t want to call that girl again.



He was tired of her already. Everything he used to enjoy about her now disgusted him. That was his problem with any girl he’s with. He gets tired of them easily. He could be head over hills for a girl this month and lose interest the next month.




But Shindara’s was a different case. He had a different plan for her. She wasn’t just any girl.



She was special, so special and she could change his life forever.



He crumpled the note a lady had snuck into his pocket at the supermarket and stepped into his car. He was going to visit Shindara.
