whispering it in his ear when she was riding high on his erection,
and after their eventual exhaustion he would whisper in her ear
that he liked that nickname, he was after all bringing the light
which sent all darkness away and also her sensual delight which
sent her sexual hunger away time and again.
Their sleep took them away for a long time while the stars
up in the firmament kept on twinkling and one could see certain
synchronicity in the twinkling of two stars as if they were making
love too, up there where the saintly and the humane mingle and
become one.
And time passed as it always does. Early in the morning
when the first light of day was spread over the earth and sent
away darkness, when the morning star faded for the sun to start
taking control of the cosmos Jerome’s and Gladys’ slumber was
interrupted by knocking on the door.
“Sister Gladys” the voice of Father Nicolas was heard.
She got up from bed, put on her nighty and stepped towards
the door while Jerome got up and went quickly to the bathroom.
Sister Gladys opened her door. Father Nicolas whispered, “Have
you seen Father Jerome? I can’t find him anywhere…” but before
Sister Gladys could utter a word, Father Jerome walked out of
the bathroom and said.
“What has happened Father Nicolas? What’s the urgency
this morning?”
The mouth of father Nicolas gaped in surprise; his eyebrows
were raised as he didn’t know how to proceed, so he gulped
his saliva, when finally Father Jerome encouraged him,
“Would you relax and tell me what is the matter?”
“Nothing serious, nothing that couldn’t wait until we
meet for breakfast,” Father Nicolas said and with those words
he turned around and left.
