contract - Season 1 - Episode 40

“Well the baby is part of you, isn’t it? So
looking out for you is the same thing as
looking out for my baby.” He said softly.
His words felt like a blow to her heart. She
always knew that every iota of care he
showered on her was because of the baby,
but a small part of her hoped he cared
about her too.

“Whatever. Take your sex life far away from
me, or else next time, I would walk in and
totally embarrass you. Maybe act like your
wife or something.” She threatened,
although he could hear a hint of humor in
her tone.

“Hm. So you’re jealous ehn? Thats why you
now vexed like that. You want to be the one
in that room.” He teased, smirking
confidently at her.

Her heartbeat increased, hammering against
her chest and she suddenly had to leave the
room. If she didn’t leave, she had a feeling
she might just grab him and start kissing the
life out of him.
Stupid hormones.
She let out a nervous laugh and rolled her
eyes.

“In your wildest dreams.”
She stood up and took her plate to the sink,
washing it so she could start going to the
hospital.

She felt him come beside her, and
dangerously close too. “What are you
doing?” She asked in a shaky voice.
He was standing behind her, his hands on
the sink at both sides of her body. His lips
were right in front of her ear.
“I heard you, when you were sleeping. You
whispered my name.”
…

After her doctors appointment, Abena
couldn’t get Tobi’s words out of her head.
She would have to start locking her room
door.

She decided to get a job to do. Something
simple that would take her mind off Tobi
and all the feelings that was annoyingly
developing in her.
She walked down a a street for a while,
trying to clear her head while walking
towards the taxi park.
That was when she saw the vacancy in front
of a large building. It was a modelling
Agency. She looked down at her big belly
and laughed to herself. She decided to walk
in front of it and see. Then she saw the sign
clearly.

They needed a pregnant woman!
With a broad smile on her face, she walked
into the building, happy for the first time
about her pregnancy.

…
“You know, every time you come to visit me,
you always start talking about Abena. As
entertaining as the stories are…” Joseph
started with a laugh. “I’m beginning to think
the invisible Tobi Ademi is falling.”
“Why do always do this thing? I talk to you
about something and then you’ll start saying
rubbish about what me liking her. Did I tell
you I like her. Abeg, free me.” Tobi said,
annoyed at his friend.

Joseph was sitting down on his hospital bed,
his injured leg was propped on a cushion,
and he was eating Maltesers that Tobi
snuck in for him.

Dera had forbade chocolates. Said it wasn’t
good for his ‘age.’

“I’m just saying. You always talk about her.
And you give her ‘the look’.” Joseph teased.

“Which look?” Tobi glared at him.
“You know, ‘the look’.”
“You think this is one American movie shay.
That’s why you’re saying rubbish.” Tobi
huffed out with made Joseph laugh harder.
“But seriously. You had sex with Aisha while
Abena was in the next room?” Joseph
asked.

Tobi nodded. “I wasn’t thinking.”
