THE PARASITES

CHAPTER ONE In the room dark and silent with electrifying deodorant mixed with the smoke of cigarettes exuding with all its charming and alluring abilities towards Jullie, Barrdie's intending girlfriend. The room was so conditioned in order to make the woo occasioned by Barrdie's friend Marrlie girlfriend's birthday party who was Julie's childhood friend too. Can we possibly call this a divine orchestration, or divine providence for the fulfillment of Barrdie's age long heartfelt desire to intimate with Jullie his full package of love for her. Therefore, Barrdie decides to empty the bowel full of love for Jullie. Progressively, the conversation between Jullie and Barrdie kicks start, in the crescendo progression, these questions and answers flowing in steadily with an alarming oceanic torrent. Ughh! "Jullie baby, how are you doing?" Barrdie asks smiling sheepishly. Hmm! Well, I am not bad. How about you? Jullie answered and asked reluctantly. Barrdie summons courage to paint his endearing and charm-like words articulately before unleashing them bit by bit but arm with the potencies to tear, break and pierce a stone-like heart. So, what that means is that, Barrdie hosted a personal rehearsal in his heart, like Church Choir who gathered on Saturday evening to rehearse the early morning Sunday service special anthems, so did Barrdie in order to rehearse and articulate all the bullet points coated with emotions that he would fire at Jullie without missing the target. Unfortunately, Barrdie is confronted with divers questions deep in the cavity of his heart, full of questions hinged on uncertainties about whether or not this beautiful damsel would accept his proposal or not and on how he could make the conversation engaging and thrilling too. After Jullie responded to his greetings and equally asked Barrdie engaging questions, Barrdie lost in touch of what to say next. Then, Barrdie stealthily stole himself away from the scene and shamefully dragged Marrlie his friend to the convenience zone(rest room) and asked him some silly questions: Guy, what should I do now? I don't even know how to place my sweet love coated words that I have always carved in annal of my soul for the great day which is today. Marrlie, how did you do yours? How did you commence your intriguing and engaging conversation with your girlfriend Farrlie? Can you lecture me a bit before I get disappointed and disgrace on this great day, that I have always prayed for? You know this is like what the holy Book says that the day to give birth has come but there is no strength to bring it forth. Marrlie, please help me, I will die if I am not able to maximize this opportunity today. Barrdie sounding uncoordinated. Marrlie smiles, calm down man! "Man, even if you are not able to shoot your shot today, there are better days ahead, so all you gonna do is to arm yourself with enough tactics and deploy them accordingly once the opportunity shows up". This Marrlie opined with demeaning gesticulations. Barrdie reacts to Marrlie's suggestion, Marrlie, i didn't expect such a suggestion from you, does it mean you cannot help me with some suggestions on how to shoot my shot today? "Marrlie, what a friend I have in you?" All these Barrdie said regrettably. So, do you mean you cannot help me with your piece of advice in this delicate moment, Marrlie? Man, just as I had said earlier, you will definitely get over this and you learn from experience. I perceive you just go and shoot your shot now. Barrdie, I am not a relationship counselor or lecturer to lecture or counsel you on how to kick start your lovely conversation with the lady you claimed you deadly love. Ahh! I am not a counselor, man! All these Marrlie opined mockingly. Ughh, I did not expect this from Marrlie! Barrdie aggressively stone himself outside the rest room and went straight to Balcony where Jullie and Farrlie were sipping chill Champagne from the cup and two sticks of cigarettes in their hands were creating a hell-like scene at the Balcony. Before approaching the Balcony, Barrdie tries to pull up his nerves, gain momentum and place his self esteem in the right positions where they belong, because he does not want to lose his self worth that early before the damsel in such a long awaited day like the long awaited day of the coming Messiah. Barrdie speaks to himself "whatever will be will be, so I gonna do what comes to my heart! After all what matters is that I make my intention known to this angel in human form" He said shrugging his shoulders. As Barrdie sheepishly dragging his feet on the tired floor towards the Balcony where Jullie and Farrlie were, he was taken aback by what his two bulbs saw and what visited his nose was not what he had expected from such an angel like Jullie and Farrlie. Meaning, he did not know that Jullie and Farrlie smoke cigarettes and would not have believed even if had been told about it, because he thought that they were properly raised damsel with good and standard family background. But, his thought would soon be cleared up. Ohh! Wow! What am I perceiving? who could be setting up hell here? Barrdie asked silently. As if that was not enough, dragged his steps further, what his two brightly seated bulbs beheld was breath taking. He saw Jullie and Farrlie caressing each other almost down to the most delicate private parts of their angelic bodies. Therefore, are these also the daughters of Jezebel in Hannah's Skins? Are they lesbians too? Is Marrlie aware of this sweet sacrilege, or, is this a resultant effect of intoxication and excess inhaling of some sticks of St Morris Cigarettes? Many thoughtless and thoughtful questions flooded his cerebral membrane, yet he ensures that he remains coordinated. Barrdie finally dragged his feet to the Balcony, a Hell and Coven-like scene where two aggressive smokers gathered. Farrlie hooped on Barrdie, hey dear, you look handsome and sexy, I feel like swallowing you up like a pathon! Farrlie smiles widely. Barrdie was choked with breath taking bewilderment. Ahh! what is this? He asked himself. Jullie stepped up, angrily and demeaningly looked at Barrdie and sighed, mtcheewww! Who are you and what are you doing here? Don't you know that this is a woman to woman affairs, so you don't have to come closely? Jullie asked Barrdie these rhetorical questions without the expectations of answers from Barrdie. So, Jullie and Farrlie continued to caress each other without minding whose horse is gored. Right there, Barrdie's heart was snatched on the rock, he began to dabble between two opinions whether to still unveil the package of love he has for Jullie or leaves it sealed. The Barrdie I know would not think twice on what to do in such a situation of a lifetime determining decision. But, it seems Barrdie has been injected with a reasonable amount of doses of love and it could be possible that the physician was sent from hell that carried out such adventures. This is because I know Barrdie to be a guy who believes so much in modesty, his moral standards are very high, this is often attributed to his being born and grown up to Twenty years old in Africa Continent, South Africa to be precise, before him and his parents were moved to Chicago United States of America their home country. consequent upon his upbringing, there are some many things Barrdie does not like, one which is a lady smoking, a lady having an affair with her fellow lady vis-a-vis, dressing half naked and ladies hostilities towards guys. So, these are huge turn offs for Barrdie. Meanwhile the list of Barrdie's dislikes was more than that, but flocks of friends he keeps reduces them and adapting to the demands of his new friends did much injustice to some moral standards he deemed invaluable.
