contract - Season 1 - Episode 54

Trying too hard?
“And you are?” The woman asked rudely.
“I should be asking you that question.”
Abena replied, not ready to take any insult
that would come her way.

“I’m here to see Tobi.” She said.
“Hes not around. He went for a business
trip. Come back in like, four days.” Abena
replied.

“And who are you? His baby mama?” She
asked angrily.

“Nope.” Abena replied, popping the ‘p’. “Just
a friend. Watching his house while he is
gone.”

“I don’t believe you.” The woman sneered.

“I don’t care.” Abena shrugged. “Now are you going to leave a message, or are you
going to keep on wasting my time?”
“Tell him Eniola came by.” She said.
“Will do.” Abena said and moved to close
the door but Eniola stopped her, and glared
at her.

“Listen, whoever you think you are. Tobi is
my man. We’re going to get married. And if
I find out, that a low life like you, is taking
him away… I would show you pepper.” She
threatened.

“I have a show to watch, and I can’t miss it
because a desperate idiot is threatening me
over a guy she doesn’t own. Please move so
I can close the door.” Abena replied and
slammed the door in her face, letting her
anger out on the door.

…
Abena’s sleep was interrupted by the sound
of her phone ringing. She checked the time,
it was past two a.m.

Grumbling to herself, she reached for her
phone on the bedside table. She squinted at
the caller ID, it was Tobi.

She smiled in spite of her self and answered
the call.

“Hey, are you awake?” She heard his husky
voice ask. She missed that voice.
“No. I’m picking beans.” She replied dryly.
“Of course yes I’m sleeping you idiot. Its
past two in the morning, what else would I
be doing?”

His laugher floated from the phone and she
rolled her eyes. “Sorry. I haven’t been able
to call, so I decided to make out time this
evening. I’m almost done with the contract,
then I’ll come home.”

“How are you doing?” She asked.
“I should be asking you that. Are you
alright?” He replied.

“I’m fine. Just sleepy.” She yawned.
“Sorry.” He laughed.

“No biggie. You should see the nursery. Its
half done, but I like how it’s coming so far.”
She said.

“I’ll see it when I come home.” He replied.

She bit her lower lip. Should she tell him
about Eniola?

“Yeah you would.” She said quietly.
She really didn’t want to tell him about her.
“I’ve missed you Abena. And your cooking.
I’m getting used to it.” He chuckled.
“Well I don’t think I’ve missed you much.”
She joked.

“Way to ruin the moment. You couldn’t just
roll with it ehn?” He laughed and she rolled
her eyes, forgetting that he couldn’t see her.
“I’ve missed you too. I hate watching tv
alone.” She said.
They were silent for a while, listening to
each other breath softly.
“I’ll get you stuff when I’m coming.” He
finally said.

“Good. Although what matters most is that
you bring yourself.”
