“Seven times one, Seven... Seven times two, Fourteen... Seven times three, Twenty one…Seven times four, Twenty eight…Seven times five, Thirty Five...Seven times six, Forty two…Seven times seven, Forty Nine...Seven times eight… Seven times eight…”
   “Seven times eight is what?” He asked angrily.
   “Seven times eight is….” I tried to say as I counted my fingers.
   ‘I've told you times without numbers just keep adding seven. Like you rightly said seven times seven is Forty Nine, now add seven to it.’
    “Fifty six.”
    ‘Good Carry on.’
    ‘Seven times eight, Fifty six… Seven times Nine...’
    ‘You didn't practice it, did you?’
    ‘I did!’
    ‘So what's the problem...? I'm pressed, where's your toilet?’ he asked.
    If there's anything I noticed about Uncle Taiwo in my first two weeks of the lesson, was his impatience, No, he wasn't wicked or strict, he just had this 'Don't waste my time' attitude. I guess he was the speedy type.
     As I pointed him to the loo, he hurriedly walked in. Immediately I heard the door shut, I rushed to his lesson note. I was of the habit of picking planned assignments before hand, I'd give them to Ola, my neighbor who loved to solve Maths questions and I'll present them as my handiwork, No I wasn't a dull student, I was just in the category of those Talented but lazy students, Besides, Ola enjoyed solving them and they're mostly topics I understood pretty well, the problem was just sitting down to solve.
    As I opened Uncle Taiwo's note I was utterly surprised my eyes fell upon something that moved me psychologically and in other ways including an immediate erection. It was a Magazine, the type for adults, I wondered what Uncle Taiwo was doing with it, interestingly, it was a BoyxBoy type. I was really interested in it. I was still flipping through the pages when the Bathroom lock clicked, He was done already? Swiftly I dropped the brochure in his note and adjusted back.
    ‘Julius, they're no tissues here.’ he said as he opened the door half way, stretching his head through the door, I could see his nude laps I don't know why, but it amazed me.
    ‘It should be there!’ I said walking towards him, I was actually searching for his pintle, he looked at me in awe signaling me to move backwards.
     ‘ I said There's no tissue here.’ he said.
     ‘Okay, it Should be in my Parent's room then’ I suggested as I turned.
     I'd brought him a new roll of tissue paper from my Mom's room and he closed the bathroom door again, i was just so curious to find out what was between his  decent laps, I remembered drilling a hole in the bathroom door Handle to peep at my dad when he was bathing, it's not what you think, I just wanted to know what a Mature penis looked like, I eventually got to know. But, this time it was different. As I quietly and skillfully pulled out the Cloth my dad used to block the my spy hole, I heard some flip flop sounds, I grew curious, as I hastily pulled the last piece of cloth in the hole, the door opened, I must had pushed too much on it, but he locked the door, or didn't he? Immediately, I caught sight of his stiff pintle coated with soap, which he held. We both froze in shock, I was actually surprised at the length, it was the second I'd seen excluding mine, the first was my dad's and it's nothing compared to Uncle Taiwo's. Or maybe it's cause it was hard? Who knows ? I loved what I was seeing, I didn't realised I had a hard on until I noticed his eyes picking down there.
    “What were you... would you excuse me? I mean are you okay?” For the first time Uncle Taiwo Stammered
    ‘Sorry sir!’ I said as I closed the door and walked back to my books.
    Off course, my head was filled with too many thoughts, it was quite clear what happened, given the two scenarios, I mean, who carries a Boylove explicit content book around and Who the F*ck Masturbates in someone else's bathroom? I'd like to think he was Gay, that'll probably makes things quite clear, who knows he might had set up the whole drama having noticed my girly feels. But, shouldn't he be afraid of the age bracket? We're talking Nine to ten years difference.
    Thirty minutes later, he was still in the Loo, I guessed he was ashamed or probably strategizing the best cover up story, he was yet to know what I'd found in his Book.
   ‘Uncle, time is going o.’ I said like nothing had happened.
If there was anyone more cautious about time it was Uncle Taiwo, but he didn't seem to care anymore.
    ‘I know’ he said harshly.
   ‘You know, you don't need to feel guilty or anything it's nothing. I've seen my dad in much worse situations, but I didn't tell, and I won't too.’ little Julius reassured him.
   “Julius you saw nothing.”  he claimed
   ‘Oh No, I saw what I saw and there's much more evidence.’ I said in blackmail.
   He pushed the door open, he was dressed and looked so much more like the Uncle Taiwo I knew. There I stood with his brochure.
   ‘Where did you get that?’
   ‘Found it in your note book’ I said smiling.
   ‘Do you even know…Where is your mom?’  I enjoyed making him uncomfortable.
    ‘Yeah, I know a lot about this, You're really creative sir.’
    ‘Who said I made that? Infact What's this ? Blackmail?’ he asked
    ‘No. It's gets even more interesting.’
     ‘Julius, I know you're a really smart kid but messing with me? No! You shouldn't. ’
     ‘No I'm not and I won't. But we're not any different, are we?’
     ‘Yes, I'm your Teacher and you're my student.’
     ‘No doubt that's true.’
     ‘So, whatever you've seen, unsee it and hand me my journal or I'd tell your parents what you might not want them to hear.’
     ‘Sir? You're the one blackmailing now.’
     “Julius Hand it over quick, I'm developing a temper!”
     “I'm Gay too”
      ‘Oh, shut up.’ he instructed me.
      “Isn't it obvious Sir?”
      ‘It's not Julius. I have other plans for the day, pass it.’
       “It is sir, you'd have to tell me the truth or… ” I tried to say.
      “Or what Julius?” he asked frustrated, I felt guilty for making him uneasy.
       ‘I was never going to do anything, we're pretty much same and all I ask is for you to be sincere, you owe me that besides, it doesn't kill.’
      ‘Okay I'm different and I'd actually noticed your feminine nature, but being gay is not something I wish for a bright kid like I, So he trashed all thoughts and focused on grooming you academically, which is my job, respect that.’
      ‘You're different or You're gay?’ I asked.
      ‘Whatever… I'm gay, can I have my journal now?’
      ‘Not to fast, let me go through it.’
      ‘Julius, you shouldn't be seen with stuffs like that besides you're far from the required age.’
      ‘Okay what were you doing with your pr*ck in the bathroom’
      ‘Sh*t! 
      ‘You can trust me na.’
     “Okay… I was…” he was trying to say when my Mom walked in. Quickly I slid the brochure under the cushion
     ‘Taiwo, you've not gone? What's the time?’
     ‘Ma, I was just leaving’ he said as he gathered his books in his bags
      ‘Now? Let me cook first na or won't you eat?’ she asked him.
      “No o,Thank you ma, I'm already late for my next lesson.”
      “Okay then.” She said as she walked to the kitchen.

     He stood gesturing me to hand the Magazine over, I bluntly refused, there was no much he could say, cause My mom was around. He'd gone through the Main door, I was still clearing my books when he walked in  and said :
    
      ‘ Don't go through the brochure it might harm you psychologically and please inspect the toilet I might have left some dirts.’
      “Okay sir.”
      I hurried to the bathroom the Toilet was white as snow, I don't think he used it. I was about to leave when I saw the Sink piled with used tissues, most of which were soaked with Cattarh or is it C*m. If each tissue role represented each time he jerked off then that's a whole lot. Quickly, I drop them into the closet and flushed it down the drain. Anticipating The next lesson day. I had a lot of plans for Uncle Taiwo.
