contract - Season 1 - Episode 41

“Says the man who makes billions
everyday.”

“I just… I don’t even know again sef. It all
felt weird. I was trying to get her out of my
head but the more I kissed Aisha, the more
her face appeared in my head.” Tobi said
truthfully.

“Well that’s step one of falling in love.”
Joseph smiled broadly.
“And how do you get rid of it?” Tobi asked
quickly.

“Kill yourself.” Joseph joked and started
laughing again.

“How about I kill you. Bloody idiot.” Tobi
snapped but that caused Joseph to laugh
harder.

“Oh this is better than any African magic
movie. You, falling in love, is something I’ve
been waiting for, for like forever. And when I
saw Abena, I knew you were going to fall.”
Joseph grinned.

“I’m not falling in love. It’s just lust. She’s
an attractive woman. Its normal for me to
want to do her.” Tobi spat out.
“Let’s see what you’ll be saying as the
weeks go by.” Joseph said.

“Why can’t I just allow her to move into
another house?” Tobi asked quietly.
“Because you don’t want her out of your
life. Your house is the most sacred place to
you, because it’s the first building you ever
worked on successfully. And now you want
to share it with someone.” Joseph said
thoughtfully. “Make it a home.”
…

Abena walked into the house at around past
eight, bursting with excitement.
“Why are you coming home at this time?”
Tobi asked sharply. He was seated on the
couch in the sitting room, obviously waiting
up for her. He stood up to assess her,
looking out for any possible cuts or injuries.
Her body warmed up at his gaze.
“I was somewhere.” She grinned at him, and
he was surprised that she didn’t lash back.
“And why are you so happy? Are you high? I
swear to God if you got high with my child
inside you, I would slaughter you.” He raised
his voice but she just laughed.
“No. I’m not high Tobi. I’m perfectly low.”

She laughed at her stupid joke and he just
raised an eyebrow at her in confusion.
“I got a job!” She squealed.
“Abena. You’re not supposed to get a job. It
says so in the contract that-”

“I’m not allowed to get a strenuous job. But
I don’t think posing for the camera is
something difficult.” She smiled broadly at
him.

“Well what’s the job about?” He asked, trying
to share in her excitement.
“Its for a clothing line that works with
maternity wear. The man said I’m perfect
for the job. And that my husband is such a
lucky man.” She grinned.
“Husband?”
She wiggled her fingers in his face and then
he noticed the golden wedding band around
her finger. He gave her a questioning look
but she just shrugged.
“What? I told you, people stare.”
“So what going to happen?”
“I’m going in two days for a photo shoot.
Then I’ll get paid. It’s just a one time thing.
I’m not looking into modelling as a career,
trust me.”
She said with a laugh and proceeded to
walk to the kitchen.

“What are you looking for?” He called after
hearing cupboards and the fridge opening
and closing.
“Food!” She shouted and earned a light
chuckle from him.
…
“A model hm?”
Tobi was driving to work, and he had called
Joseph, eager to get information about the
modelling agency Abena had told him about.
