We finally arrived at the house and as my mother told me, it was exactly what we saw. My father relaxed comfortably on his favorite sofa and stretched out his legs onto the little sofa stool watching CNN and sipping tea from his favorite mug. He was so nonchalant about the fact that I was around or worse, that I brought back home a man... the first man I ever brought home to introduce to them.

"Good evening sir." Jerry said as he stretched out his hands to shake my father but only got ignored. My father didn't even bother looking up to see him and I could tell this angered my mother because she quickly dragged Jerry to the kitchen to offer him food.

"Good evening papa." I said as I knelt down to greet my father. He didn't answer me back but he waved his hand in acknowledgment of my presence as I got up to go meet my mother and Jerry in the kitchen.

"Don't mind him. He's usually engrossed in his news." My mother joked with a fake laugh to Jerry as he also faked a laugh. I could tell my mother was nervous and it was beginning to rub off on me as I leaned on the table.

"Do you eat Pounded yam?"

"Yes Ma... I've eaten it like once or twice. It's quite nice." Jerry said looking around the kitchen in awe. My mother made sure our kitchen was top class and always bugged my father until he bought what she wanted. She wanted our kitchen to look like one of those luxurious ones she saw on television.

"I'll give you my special Okro soup. You'll love it I promise you." Mama said and began giving instructions to the maid as I and Jerry made our way upstairs.

We got upstairs to begin unpacking in our separate rooms but noticed that only one room was arranged for the both of us.

"What's this? Mama certainly doesn't think we're gonna sleep together, does she?" I asked rhetorically as I looked around for no one in particular.

"Well you did tell them I was your boyfriend and besides this is your family home. You certainly didn't expect her to give us separate rooms?" Jerry joked as he walked majestically into the room and established his domain there sitting down comfortably on the king sized bed.

"Mama said food will ready in twenty minutes that you should both shower and get ready for dinner." The maid said as she made her way back downstairs.

"Well then you heard your mom. We should go shower." Jerry joked getting up about to take off his clothes. I certainly couldn't stay in the same room with him shirtless again... I may grow weak and do something foolish this time about .

"No! I'll shower first and then you go after. You know this is just a pretense right?" I reminded him just in case he was beginning to forget and enjoying this foolish fantasy.

"I know." He reassured me before taking off his top and throwing it on the bed. "Towels?"

"Inside the cabinets." I said pointing at the wooden cabinet close to the bathroom as he made his way there. I couldn't help but stare at him and wonder what an intimate time with him would feel like.

Probably the hormones causing all these crazy thoughts!

He put on the shower and I could hear him singing a bit. What the hell! Who sings in the shower? Much less someone that doesn't know how to?

"All done." He said and walks out cleaning his face with the upper part of the towel. I couldn't help but notice the little bulge coming out from his thighs... omg that was his manhood!

"Gosh. Put on some clothes. I don't want to be seeing your dick all over the room."

"We're gonna be here till Sunday you know." He said and then smirked. "You might as well get used to seeing me half naked."

"You're such a pervert." I insulted but he only laughed and began dressing as I made my way to the bathroom. I slammed the bathroom door so tight, I felt the whole house shook from the force. I wasn't sure if I was closing the door tightly because I didn't want him getting in, or because I didn't want myself getting out to go meet him naked.

"Papa this is J- I stopped realizing he was supposed to be Alex not Jerry. "This is Alex Coker. My boyfriend." I said as my hands met Jerry's. There was a brief moment of silence as I shivered and all the hairs on my body shot up.

Why was a single touch of this man this attacking on me?

"Good evening again sir." Jerry said this time a bit more harshly than earlier but I couldn't blame him.

My father took a quick look at Jerry and then nodded his head at him as in to confirm he could see him but didn't say anything.

"Well that went well." I heard Jerry whisper under his breath as he washed his hands in the bowl presented to us by the maids.

"Try it and tell me if you like it." My mother said eagerly as everyone watched in the room how Jerry was about to eat the food... everyone except My father.

"Hmm sure." Jerry said nervously as he took a bit out of the pounded yam first then gave a quick smile before facing the Okro soup presented to him. I was certain he had never eaten a soup like this before.

"You eat it like this." I explained to him as I took a lump of the pounded yam and romanced it with the soup before I threw it into my mouth. He followed after me and made a huge eww sound as it went down his throat.

I wanted to laugh but then again he would feel embarrassed so I just tried encouraging him. Mama was so happy he was eating her wonderful soup and dinner went quite well. Better than I anticipated.

We got upstairs to our room and Jerry rushed for the toilet. Not to throw up but to rinse his mouth with a lot of water.

"How do you people eat that?" He asked whining as he cleaned his mouth with the towel.

"Duh it's our traditional soup. You better get used to it if—-

"If what?" He asked.

Oh shit! What was I saying? This wasn't real, it was all an act. Was why I talking like this?

"Leave me alone ah." I said and immediately jumped on the bed and covered my face with the pillow.

"Is someone falling in love?" Jerry joked as he poked me. It was annoying but I couldn't help but smile.

"Me? Fall in love with you? This goat?" I faked a huge laugh. "Please. I'd rather date a danfo driver than you." I knew I was telling a lie but it was a well expected one.

"Okay o." Jerry said as he sat down on the opposite side of the bed.

"You better stay on your side of the bed." I ordered as I used the remaining pillows on the bed to demarcate the bed.

"Yes... babe."

"I hate you." I said under my breath as I ignored him and closed my eyes shut. I didn't want to hear another word from this goat.
