“Tobi.”

“Tobi wake up.” Abena whined while hitting
him roughly on his arm.

“Go away.” He mumbled and looked away.
“Wake up you lazy a-s billionaire.” She
hissed, shaking his shoulders.

“For a pregnant woman, you’re too violent.
Go away Abena.” He mumbled wearily. He
muttered some incoherent words and shut
his eyes firmly.

Abena groaned in frustration and stomped
her feet against the floor like a child. “I’m
hungry.” She whined while grabbing a pillow
and hitting his head repeatedly.

He muttered a couple of colourful words
before grabbing the pillow and throwing it
far from her. He turned away from her again
and shut his eyes. “I have a kitchen for a
reason.”

“I know. But I want corn flakes.” She said
while looking around the room, looking for
another weapon.

“Well it’s not here.” He groaned.
“I know. It’s on the top shelf.” She
explained.

“How is this my problem?” He said through
gritted teeth, obviously annoyed.
“I can’t reach it na. Don’t be such an ode.”
She said but she got no reply. She moved
closer to his face and noticed that he fell
asleep.

Groaning in frustration, she looked around
the room and her gaze wandered to the
bathroom. A smile suddenly lit up her face
and she walked into it grinning.

Moments later, Tobi yelped and jumped out
of the bed soaking wet. He glared at Abena
who smiled at him in return. She placed her
hands on her hips and grinned triumphantly,
obviously pleased with her achievement.
He ignored her and walked to his closet,
rummaging it for another t shirt. He
removed the wet one, and Abena savored
the few seconds before he wore the other
one. She composed herself and looked at
him confidently.
“Lead the way Mr. Ademi.” She said and he
glared at her even harder.

He stomped past her angrily and down the
stairs while she followed behind, smiling
sweetly. As he reached for the carton of
corn flakes in the shelf, she stopped him.
“What?” He snapped but she didn’t look
intimidated at all. She looked like she was
enjoying it.

“I changed my mind, I don’t want cereal. I
want a sandwich please.” She asked
sweetly.

“Why didn’t you just make one? The
sandwich maker is right there.” He growled
while pointing at the machine.

“Well you made really amazing ones two
days ago and I really wanted you to make
me some but I didnt know how to tell you
so I thought hard and hard and hard and
hard and then I decided to just trick you into
it since I dont know how you made them
and you won’t answer me if I just asked you
normally. And I woke up very hungry and
craving the sandwich and-”
“If I make you a sandwich, will you stop
talking to me?” He asked cutting off her
blabbering.

She nodded sweetly and he grumbled some
words before getting the bread and the
other ingredients. Abena was sure to catch
the words ‘annoying pregnant woman’, and
‘no sleep… all Joseph’s fault.’
She bit back a chuckle and sat on a stool.
“Do you need any help?” She asked.
“No.”

Shrugging, she walked to the sitting room
and slumped on the chair. She picked the
remote and started surfing through the
channels looking for something to watch.
After a while, she settled on an African
Magic movie but was not really
concentrating on it.
