JORDANS HOUSE
Mike have gone deep in sleep before Yvonne could join in the bed. She was lost in this movie series showing on Zee world channel. She'd wanted to have a discussion with Mike before they would sleep, but by the ending of the movie, she then could hear Mike's snores. 
He's tall and handsome to behold, meek and loving, Calm and very economic with words, s*x maniac and a football addict. These and many other characters personified and are attributed to Mike Odumije, he has everything Yvonnewoman  wanted for a husband, so she kept wondering how and where this suspicion of him not being straight came from . Atimes she'd wish it can  be erase from off her mind, but the harder she tried, the more convinced she feels. How would he spoke so fairly to her cooked g*y story. How did he came about that sermonette that night. 
"When last did he even set his feet inside the church" Yvonne tried to recall as she sat on bed watching Mike horning his snores. She'd never felt his obnoxious  snore, it seems every bad side of Mike suddenly surfaced from the day she'd started smelling something fishy between him and Johnpaul. She laid by bed edge, kicking him lightly at interval by his lap, so he can stop the snoring which he will paused but kick-start the next minute

. Yvonne sat up, determined to wake him for the discussion since the snoring can't allow her to sleep.
"What, why can't this discussion wait till morning? I am weak for it now." Mike managed to speak.
"No, I can't sleep, it have been disturbing me for days now."
"Mmm! Mike alarmed, "what is it, let me hear it, I'm listening."
"Ok, Boo, I think it's time we plan on living separately?"
"Mmm! Did I hear you clear?" Mike was shocked as sleep disappeared from his eye.
Yvonne could not repeat what she said, she observed he's perplexed, she was sure he heard her well.
"Yvonne, what did I just heard you ?" He repeated.
She could not say a word again, she wouldn't argue on that, so she kept to her choicest mute and later buried herself inside the blanket. Mike looked at her with furious and sighed.
"It's like this your ogbanje have started again." He went back to his sleep.
Yvonne wandered in thought for hours, sleep was far gone, leaving her with the tune of Mike's snores.
Later before dawn, Mike woke up,  demanding to know what made her to think of leaving Jordans house .
Yvonne would not tell him what has been going on her mind for a while, she couldn't tell either how she'd come to the conclusion of leaving the Jordans house. She'd made up her mind not to let anyone know what her suspicion is, how would she even thought of that. 
"I know we're not going to stay here for long, but look, it is too early to think of that. Not up to a year you ladies moved in, and everything is about fallen apart. I and Johnpaul have been living together under one roof since our school days and we're not planning of parting any sooner. Tell me, what has gone wrong, is it my friend Johnpaul or Kaima his wife? It obvious that in living together like this, there would been tendencies of stepping on someone's toes, and....."
"Look, boo, Yvonne interrupted. "no body have stepped on the toes of another, they have been the best friend we would ever have, all I'm trying to do is to maintain the cordial relationship, which I think that living together poses threat to"
Mike stared angrily at her, he can't imagine hearing her persisting on leaving Jordans house.
"Yvonne what has come over you? I and JP rented this house together, we furnished it in a way that it will be a Paradise on earth, infact the only thing we bought separately is our clothes, how do you think that going with this your suggestion won't cause more harm than good to the relationship we've built through out these years?" Mike resented.
"All these should not be valued more that our marriage, our marriage should be the priority." Yvonne retorted, jerking up from bed .
"What are you insinuating?"
"I'm not insinuating, I'm saying what I know is best for us, except you prefer your relationship with them to your marriage."
"Is that a threat?" 
Yvonne could not nag further, so she kindly went out of the room.
"Will you come back here woman! Mike yelled.

JOHNPAUL'S ROOM
Johnpaul woke up, perhaps Mike's yelling did. He'd stretched his muscles and his early morning erection sign protruded in his pyjamas trouser. He reached for Kaima, drawing her close as she woke and sunk in Johnpaul's body so he cuddled and c*resses her. In their exhaustion after a light love making, Kaima, resting her head on Johnpaul chest, twisted her legs around Mike's.
"There is this lady that made a scene with me yesterday at the clinic" Kaima spoke softly.
"What type of scene was that, drama or action?" Mike joked, coiling her hair attachment.
Kaima grinned, "serious drama, she couldn't pay her hospital bills, so she was left with no choice than to pay in kind, you know; she have to work for some months."
"Poor her, what a country" Johnpaul  said pathetically.
"She is doing a cleaning job, so yesterday, after we had a C.S operation, I became so hungered and  weak that I have to plead for her to help me buy okpa, that's when it all started."
"She refused to help you?"
"Yes, lik....."
"....then you look for another helper."
"JP allow me to finish the story." She frowned.
"Ok, continue"
"I've never seen any woman as arrogant as this lady, you remember the day you were to visit my parents for the first time, the woman that I was called on an emergency for, the one that I said her baby boy is as cute as you on your baby pictures?"
"You have said this descriptive phrase more than ten times, please can you stop describing this boy to have resemblance with me?" Mike twisted his face.
"JP allow me to finish my story, you often pick offense out of nothing" she scoffed.
"So what happened next, you slapped her for refusing to help?"
"I'm done, telling you this." Kaima leaped from bed and made her way out of the room. 
Kaima met Yvonne at the kitchen, they exchanged their good morning greetings and Kaima joined in the morning chores.
"What will Mike have for breakfast?" Kaima asked?
"Bread toast with custard, will it go well for you?"
"Yes I wouldn't mind, more toast please, left for me, I will just warm my soup and prepare semovita for JP, who cares if it's fits for breakfast, JP can be provoking atimes." Kaima made a face.
"So you think your best revenge is your meal?"
"Not as revenge, I just don't have the strength. swapping meals is one of the things I cherish most in Jordans house, Your breakfast is always a bae." Kaima compliments.
"And your soups are golden." Yvonne responded and both smiled.
Pathetically, Yvonne looked at Kaima, she felt she will be missed if she eventually leave Jordans house.
"I'm happy you hold me in such high esteem." Yvonne appreciated but worried about her quest to exist Jordans house.
