contract - Season 1 - Episode 16

The next morning, Abena sang in the
shower… really loud. Tobi tried to ignore her
as he got ready for work, but it was very
hard to do when she was singing Whitney
Houston’s I Will Always Love You totally off
key. Grumbling out of frustration, he
hurriedly dressed up and went downstairs to
get to work.

She came down a few minutes after with an
innocent smile on her face. “Good morning.”
She said with a chirpy tone.

“Why are you like this?” He replied frowning.
“Like what? I didn’t do anything.” She
shrugged and started rummaging through
the kitchen. “You don’t have bananas.”
“Well I have apples, oranges, and
watermelon.” He pointed out.
“I know. But no bananas. I need bananas
Tobi. Please get me bananas.” She pleaded.
“Whatever. I need to leave.” He muttered
before picking his briefcase and walking out
on her and the triumphant smirk plastered
on her face.

…
“She’s so annoying! God! She hasn’t even
spent up to a week at my house, and she’s
broken almost every rule that I gave her.-”
“You gave her rules?” Joseph asked with a
small smile on his face.

“Of course yes! Its my house! Everything
must go the way I say it should go. She was
playing music in the middle of the night, and
it was so d--n loud. Ah ahn! Abi is it bad
that I gave her rules?” Tobi asked as he
scribbled his signatures angrily on some
files Joseph brought for him.
“Yes, it actually is.” Joseph stated still
smiling.

“And she’s always eating. My kitchen was
almost empty this morning. Especially
bananas. What’s it with the bananas
anyway?” Tobi asked glaring at his friend.
“Pregnant woman cravings.” Joseph
shrugged.

“This was all your idea, and now it’s your
fault that I’m going completely crazy.” Tobi
grumbled while shoving the files into
Joseph’s hands.

“And so d--n emotional. When I told her to
put off the music, one moment she was
smiling, then she wanted to cry.” Tobi
complained as he switched on his laptop.
Joseph just smiled at him while spinning on
his swivel chair.

“It’s mood swings. You should have read
about pregnant women before bringing one
into your house na.” Joseph smirked.
“Shut up. Wasn’t it your idea? Now I’m
suffering.” Tobi said dramatically. “Why are
you smiling sef?”

“Do you like her?”
“Were you even listening while I was talking?
Are you serious?” Tobi asked angrily.
Joseph raised his hands in surrender. “Just
asking. You’ve been talking about her since
I walked into your office.”

“I don’t. She’s a pain in everything.”
“If you say so. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve
got lawyer stuff to do.” He replied standing
up.

“It’s still your fault. And it’s not even in the
contract.” Tobi pointed out.

“Well, she’s carrying your child so you
should be nicer. And more accommodating.
Don’t make her cry, or sad, or depressed.”
Joseph warned still standing in front of the
table.

“What do you think I am? An ogre?” Tobi
raised an eyebrow.

“To her, probably. Its not good for the
baby’s health. You have to make her happy.
All the time. Start with an endless supply of
bananas. She’ll appreciate it.” Joseph
advised before stepping out.
