Busted! - Chapter 5.5: One Big Family

I went downstairs to join everyone else and the topic that day was homosexuality. KG had returned from wherever he was and he had a very interesting opinion about homosexuality. He said homosexuality sucked. This is the same guy that was on my case in the house, making my stay uncomfortable. Malcolm said it was uncontrollable. He felt that if it was controllable, a lot of people wouldn't be doing the stuff that they do, in fact most of us would be straight because homosexuality is a bit of a challenge and it requires you to have thick skin. Lincoln said it was manipulative. I'm guessing I manipulated him into thinking that he was gay back then but then again that's what cowardly closet cases would say anyway, it's never their fault. Nigel, who was the house's least favourite guy at that moment, said that he wouldn't mind dating a gay guy if it meant it would do something for his bank account. Talk about diversity.

I was very tired from the hectic day that I had so I went to bed early that night. I stood up and wished everyone a good night before heading to bed. Menzi decided to stay downstairs for a while before coming to bed. KG was trying his best to make it look like he wasn't noticing me. He was still acting weird but I wasn't entertaining him. Lincoln also went to bed the same time as me.

I got to my bedroom and prepared to sleep. As soon as I got into bed I received a text from Lincoln. It read: "I wish I was the one sleeping with you tonight." I really wasn't in the mood for Lincoln and his mind games. I actually found that whole situation with him to be draining because one moment he says this and does the other. After years of not seeing him, he was still as confused as he was when I left him. I didn't reply to his text. That required a lot of effort, time and energy and I don't give those out for mediocrity.

Menzi had started to settle in to the house. The girls made it easy for him because like I said before, they were a bundle of joy. I told him that I was thinking of moving into my own place and also told him why I was delaying the whole process. For the first time, he actually told me to take my time. It wasn't the response I had expected but I just nodded and went to sleep. I was tired!
