contract - Season 1 - Episode 10

☆☆
Abena walked into the hotel room and saw
Tobi sitting with a satisfied smile on his lips.
How could he be so… jolly, when she was
still unsure about what she was doing.
“It’s inside. Don’t spill it or anything. I
worked hard for that.” He instructed and she
scrunched her nose in disgust.

“Keep the details to yourself abeg.” She
said while dropping her bag on the couch
and going into the room.
She came back after a while and he stared
at her hopefully. “I’ve done it. Calm down.
Now what?”

“Now, we wait. You better get pregnant.”

…
Tobi and Joseph sat on the couch in the
Presidential Suite drinking wine. “Don’t drink
too much. We have to keep the remaining
for the celebration.” Tobi said.
“I thought you use champagne to
celebrate?” Joseph asked revealing a bottle
of champagne.
“Oh, you’re amazing! Where is she anyway.
We agreed to meet here by 11:30.” He
asked while checking his watch.
“Dude, calm down. It’s just 11:20. She still
has ten minutes.” Joseph said.
“This had better work.” Tobi muttered.
“Why? Having cold feet? Don’t think your
sperm is good enough?” Joseph teased.
“Excuse me! My sperm is better. I’m a sharp
shooter, you should know that. I don’t miss.”
Tobi boasted.

“How would I know that? Do I sleep with
you?” Joseph rolled his eyes.
“Whatever. Sharp shooters don’t miss. You’ll
see.” He said. Joseph opened his mouth to
speak but Abena walked in.
“Finally. What took you so long?” Tobi asked
standing up. “It’s not even 11:30 yet. Calm
down.” She said irritated.
He handed her a couple of pregnancy test
strips and Joseph handed her some more.
“Read the instructions and do exactly as it
says. They said you can’t rely on one so use
all of this.” Tobi said dumping them on her.
She looked at him with an amused smile.
“They say it one red line for pregnant.” He
added.

“No you idiot. It’s two.” Joseph cut in.
“What do you know. Have you ever gotten
pregnant?” Tobi snapped. “I have two kids
you idiot. It’s two lines.” Joseph retorted.
Abena raised her hand to speak but they
didn’t notice her. “I don’t care if you have
ten kids. I heard that it was one line.” Tobi
said glaring at his friend.

“From who? An idiot like you? Look Abena
its two lines. Use like five of them.” Joseph
said without looking at Abena.

“This is my baby. I give the instructions, not
you. Use six of them.” Tobi said.

“Guys.”
“Guys!” Abena spoke up and they looked at
her. “First of all, its two lines. And I don’t
need all of this. I already did it.” She
announced.

“And?” Tobi asked with a hopeful look on his
face. “I’m pregnant. Two red lines.” She
said with a smile on her face.

Tobi laughed in excitement. “Yes! What did I
tell you? Sharp shooter baby!” He grinned as
Joseph engulfed him in a hug.
“Congratulations man.” He said with a smile.
“Are you guys gay?” Abena asked curiously.
“Ew, no.”

“I’m married with kids woman.”
“Good. I wouldn’t want you to end up in
prison, you can’t pay me from there.” She
said laughing at their expressions. It was
surprising how he could be so serious and
then later, be so playful. When he smiled, he
looked beautiful, she wondered why he didn’t
do that when he was out in the public.
“Well, go in there, and give me two red lines,
again.” Tobi instructed with a playful smile
plastered across his face.

She rolled her eyes, still smiling, and took a
strip before going into the bathroom.
Tobi laughed again and sat on the couch.
Joseph sat beside him. After sitting a
comfortable silence for a few minutes,
Joseph asked “How do you feel?”
“Great. I’m going to be a father.” Tobi
replied.

“So the end justifies the means?” Joseph
asked. “I thought you were happy for me.”
Tobi asked his smile disappearing.
“I am. Its great that I’m going to have a
godchild-”

“And who said you’ll be the child’s
godfather?” Tobi asked playfully, changing
the subject.

“Hey! That’s not fair. I allowed you to be the
godfather of my first child. You have to do
the same for me.” Joseph whined.
“Did I ask you? You did it out of your own
free will.” Tobi chuckled.
“Abeg abeg, don’t give me that. If you don’t
make me the godfather, I’ll kidnap your
child.” Joseph joked.

Tobi was about to speak when Abena
walked in. She threw the pregnancy strip at
him and he shrieked like a girl before
jumping up. She laughed.

Who knew a billionaire could be so playful?
Tobi Ademi, Nigeria’s youngest billionaire
can shriek… like a girl.

“That’s your pee on that stick.” He
complained.
“Well it’s your baby.” She shrugged playfully.
“Money.” She simply said with a serious
expression on her face.
“That’s all you ever think about. Won’t you
rejoice with us? We’re having champagne,
although you can’t have any. I’m sure you
won’t mind fruit juice.” He said.
“Just hand the cheque over. I have
somewhere to be.” She replied.
Rolling his eyes, he gestured to Joseph who
brought out a cheque slip and handed it
over to her.
“See you in six months. Keep your part of
the contract!” He said as she was about to
leave.
“Whatever.” She said.
“Don’t have sex on my baby woman!”
