Devils Pawn: The Bondage I Live In

CHAPTER 3

I had Damian Sleep over as I gave out my clothes for him to wear, after so much persuasion.

We laid on the bed together, on our backs while Staring at the ceiling, we Stayed quiet for some minutes, until he Spoke up.

"Bro", Dami called as he turned his face to the right facing me.

"Yeah" i answered

"How have you been?" He asked

"Good, I guess" I answered unsure when knew I wasn't good an inch deep down.

"For real bro, How have you been, leave the usual i'm good response" Damian asked again and I just kept mute.

"Dami." I called him calmly still fixing my eyes on the ceiling.

"what if I was involved in-" I paused as Icouldn't say no more.

"Involved in?' Damian asked

"Never mind bro" I said.

"Is there anything you're not telling me?" Damian asked with a rather Suspicious face.

"No man, you now I can't do that now! I managed to say as I broke a smile, the countenance on Dami's face didn't look like I was able to convince him, but he let go anyways.

''Okay, if you say so" Dami said.

"So you're telling me theres no Eve anywhere?" Dami asked as he stared at me.

It's not only Eve, Adam ni " I said as we laughed.

"Well not yet man, but if there's One, you know you always work it out for me". I said as I nodded at him.

"You've got to Start paying me for wooing girls for you oo" Damian teased.

"Meaning, all the Jollof rice and chicken I cook for you, do you pay me for it?" I asked as i lightly Smacked him.

            HENRYS P.O.V

I closed my eyes as I nearly teared up, I lied to my friend again. I really wanted to open up to him, but the oath of Secrecy I took unknowngly made me fear greatly, I can recall what happened to the former chief Judge, when he tried leaving the associate, he died a very terrible and horrible death that shook the country some months ago, what if I end up like him, Should I just play along for the Sake of my life?, what if it becomes too demanding?, I let out a heavy Sigh for the up tenth time and Damian just stared at me with that, I know you're not okay face. I swimmed in my pool of thoughts Until I let go for natures Call.

            DAMIANS P.O.V

He is hiding Something from me, I know that for sure. I kept on wondering what it could be as I stared at him, Sleeping and releasing deep breathes in motion, could it be related to the dreams he's been having?, no, I don't think so, maybe its just the effect of his Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) he had developed after his parents demise, which was so sudden, and up until date is a mystery.

Maybe I should ask him?, I paused. No I'll let just let him open up when he's ready, no pressure.. I thought to myself as i closed my eyes in sleep.

               ************

The movement of Damians arms and leg Cupped all over me, made me wake, this guy Sleeps like a Lady.

I tapped him as he yawned and held unto me even more tightly.

"Get a wife bro" I spanked him as he laughed.

"Good morning bro' Damian greeted as he covered his face with the pillow While yawning.

" Morning! answered.

"It's Saturday?" I said to Damian as I waited for an answer from him.

"And so?" Damian asked and I scoffed.
