Must Read: Sinister Affections

”Henry.” Trina called as she placed her hands on Henry’s laps while they drove all the way to Henry’s place.
Tony rolled his eyes in disgust at the little no good show and busied himself with something else.



When He and Trina had gone outside the hospital room to give Henry time to talk with Shindara, Tony had dealt with a lot of questions from Trina. Questions that were way too personal. Indirectly, she was trying to dig out as much information about Henry as she could gather from poor little Tony. Well, Tony had kept shut and in some instances, he gave her wrong informations.



Henry on the other hand was trying as much as possible to bottle in his anger. He was on the verge of exploding on Trina when he stormed out of Shindara’s room. He wanted so badly to land a once-in-a-lifetime slap on Trina’s face for spoiling his chance of bonding with Shindara.



But..that wouldn’t settle well, first, he’d have to earn the respect Tony had for him and secondly,He’d probably make Trina a die hard enemy.
”Yeah what?” Henry replied coldly making sure he was attentive to everything going on on the road.
”I just have a little request” Trina pouted more placing her hand provocatively on his puffed up chest. Henry didn’t reply.



‘Request? now she’s making demands’ Henry thought and scoffed inside him.
”I’m have slight headache, can I spend the night at your place. Since it’s almost night and It’ll be a toll on you driving me back home”
Henry thought he heard wrong. Now this Shtt just got real. She wanted to make up with him. Hell no! He wasn’t going to fall for it. He rubbed his neatly trimmed moustache like he was thinking.
”And I don’t think your husband will fancy that” As soon as the words dropped from Henry’s mouth, Tony agreed with him with a sharp nod.
”Ugh. Like Henry, He doesn’t care. He married me only to have access to my country for some stuffs,don’t ask me what stuffs . And I married him because my poor papa needed money for his bills. I’m sure one Lovepeddler is gracing his bed right now….. As usual” Trina replied with what seemed like tears coming from her eyes.




Henry knew what stuffs she meant, It was Drugs.



And He also knew her history after making so much research about her. And he knew he husband loved her next to zero.
”So, I’m trying to find happiness here with….”




Trina wanted to continue but Henry was quick to shush her up.
”Okay okay. You can stay. Only for the night and you’ll be gone before everyone wakes up.



Deal?” Henry put in sharply before put him in a hard corner by completing what she wanted to say then.
”Deal, Thank you.” Trine ginned and squealed in delight. Phase two of her plan was to do something at night. Tony couldn’t believe Henry agreed. He threw his hands by his sides in surrender at the backseat where he was.




The rest of the drive to Henry’s house was silent but not laacking action. And by action, I mean Trina’s touching and all.



Henry parked opposite his house and proceeded into the house closely followed by Trina and Tony. Trina at once settled into the italian sofa. Henry went into his room upstairs and cleared some really personal stuffs like his journals,pictures and so on and locked them in a safe. He got back to the living to the living toom to find that Trina wasn’t in there anymore.
”Tony!” Henry called.
”Yes Uncle?” Tony jogged down the staircase into the living room in propmt response.
”Show Trina the third room. It’s hers for the night. Find something to eat and get ready for school tomorrow”
”But, aren’t you sleeping here also?” Trina trotted out of the kitched with a napkin in her hand. ”I’m preparing dinner already”
”Thanks but I’ll be spending the night a Danladi’s place” Henry rolled his keys in his hands and swaggered outside the house.




Tony ran up to him and pulled his cloth ”But, can’t I go to Shindara’s place? I don’t want to stay with her too”
”Ma binu. (don’t be angry). You should have said so earlier” Henry patted Tony on the head. ”goodnight”

************



Henry knocked on Danladis door. He had sensed some activity coming from the house since the light bulb in the room upstairs showed a figure walking around just after he knocked.



Henry knocked again and the door was opened this time.
”Hello Danla…….. Diana??!!!!!” Henry gaped in shock.
