I fidgeted when he looked back at me because I was a bit
scared and it just felt awkward. He moved forward
towards me and finally spoke up.
Stammering and squeezing his face in disgust he said,
“They…they share th…that at my work pla…place so that
we could give all these people who need it, you know.
Just to raise awareness of STDs. They teach you about it
right”
I nodded and said, “okay” after swallowing the remaining
saliva that was left in my mouth until it was as dry as a
dead dingo’s donger. Something about his statement
didn’t sound okay, but I didn’t object. I immediately
opened the last drawer and saw the blue paper he had
asked me to grab. Standing up, I said “I found the paper”
in order to break the silence even though he knew that
already.

Uncle cheatmaster’s side of the story:

“How could I have been so stupid to send her to those
drawers,” I said in my mind when Meso handed me the
paper I had asked her to fetch for me. I was so sure Meso
would look at me as a different person and always
suspect everything I did. I was so angry and upset at my
stupidity, but I made sure I maintained myself in order for
Meso not to suspect anything. We later left the bedroom
for the car. I was to take Meso home because it was
already getting late. I didn’t want her parents to start
calling and getting worried because we left since
12:00pm in the afternoon.
“Meso, I hope you had a nice time,” I said when we got
into the car. She looked so beautiful and I couldn’t just
resist staring at her. Puberty was really in her favour
because everyday she kept looking more beautiful. I
wanted to have her in my arms and my arms alone. My
heart ached every time I realized she was just my niece.
Am I wrong for thinking this way? I asked myself that
question everyday.
“Yes!!! it was fun hanging out with you cheatmaster. I
really enjoyed myself.” Meso replied with enthusiasm
bringing me back to life from my deep thoughts.
“I’m glad you did” I said smiling and winked at her. I
drove off and in less than an hour, we were at the house.
I could hear Esther already jumping and screaming in
happiness.
“Uncle cheatmaster!!! Uncle cheatmaster!!!” she yelled my
name as she ran to hug me.
“My baby, how are you?” I said to her.
“I’m fine uncle cheatmaster, I missed you guys. You left
me all alone in the house.” she said.
I comforted her and gave her what Meso picked for her at
the mall. She was excited when she saw her gift and that
gave me peace of mind. At least, she wouldn’t have to
whine again. I kissed their foreheads and bade them
goodbye before leaving for my house.

Meso’s side of the story:

I sighed as I jumped into the bath to take a shower. I had
a lot of fun with uncle cheatmaster. I couldn’t believe the
day had finally come to an end. I closed my eyes and
allowed myself feel the warmth of the shower drops that
fell on my skin. I was really enjoying the shower until I
remembered senior Daniel called earlier and told me to
call back when I was free. In less than twenty minutes, I
was out of the shower. I wore my nighties and cuddled
up in bed. Picking up my phone, I realized I had a missed
call and it was from senior Daniel. I didn’t know he called
because I didn’t even hear it ring, but I decided to call
back so I dialled his number and waited patiently for him
to pick up. It was already past nine in the evening, I
wasn’t sure if it was okay to call back at that time but I
continued anyway since he called first. When he picked
up the call, he asked how I was, sounding so excited. I
told him I was fine and apologized for missing his call. He
said it was okay and we kept on talking about random
things. We talked for about thirty minutes until senior
Daniel asked If I had a boyfriend. I squeezed my face in
confusion and tried to understand why everyone had to
ask me if I have a boyfriend. I was about to reply when I
heard my mum call my name.
“Please senior, can we talk tomorrow? My mum is calling
me.” I said standing up from the bed.
He said,”okay” and I ended the call before going to
answer my mum.
When I got to the sitting room where my mum sat, I
walked up to her and greeted her before asking her why I
was called. She said she just wanted to see me since I
went for an outing. She asked about my outing and if I
had a good time or not. She was fond of doing that
everytime we were taken out for an excursion by my
school or outing by uncle Sam, so it was normal when
she asked. I told her about everything we did, from the
lunch we had in sweet sensation to the movie we
watched at the theatre, but I didn’t mention what I had
seen in uncle cheatmaster’s seconddrawer. I wasn’t
really close to my mum, but I shared a few things with
her. After a few minutes, I hugged her goodnight and
went to bed.
It was a very beautiful day when I woke up the next day, it
was a Saturday. Although Saturday was one of my
dreadful days because that day was a thorough cleaning
day. It took all our might and strength to fully clean the
house. My parents were always so particular about
cleaning, we would be asked to clean from the corners of
the walls in the house to the part that demarcates the
house from the street. When I said my morning prayers,
as usual, I went straight to my phone to see if I had any
message. I didn’t get any so I dropped the phone on the
table in my room. Esther was still sleeping beside my
bed. We had two beds in the room so I arranged mine
and left Esther still sleeping. My mum made me do more
chores since I got to secondary school. She said I was
growing up and I needed to learn how to do the chores
even when Frank doesn’t do it so I swept the whole
house both inside and outside the house. Frank’s job was
to take the bins out, watch the gutters right outside the
house and wash the cars.
After a few hours of working and sweating, we rounded
up and went to take a shower. Esther had already taken
her bath so later on, I joined her on the dining table to
have brunch because on Saturdays, none of us barely had
breakfast due to the cleaning. Later that same day, I was
struck with menstrual pain. I rolled and rolled on the bed
with my sister petting me and saying sorry. I cried
because I was in so much pain. My mum just gave me a
cup of unsweetened tea and some drugs. I even got calls
from senior Daniel, uncle cheatmaster and Anabelle, one
of my friends but I didn’t pick any of their calls because I
was in so much pain. I couldn’t understand why girls/
women had to go through such pain. I slept off after a
few hours even with the excruciating pain. I made sure I
forced myself to sleep because I just couldn’t take it
anymore. I woke up after a while and felt much better so I
was able to reply my missed calls and messages. While
chatting with senior Daniel, he asked me to answer the
question he had asked earlier and so I told him I didn’t
have a boyfriend. He asked if he could call me but I told
him I wasn’t in the mood to talk so he didn’t call. Instead,
he said he would talk to me the next day and ended his
message with, “Goodnight, my baby.”
