I had just started a new job at one of the biggest oil and gas companies in the world which decided to anchor their ship here in Nigeria after losing my old job for the most ridiculous reason- having a sugar daddy who happened to be my old boss\u2019 best friend. Well, said sugar daddy got me this job whose pay is about four times higher than the previous one and my office has a view of the island.<\/p>\n
Oh, I had a proper job this time where I could utilise my degrees in law. Luckily, I worked closely with the lawyers at my former job so the transition wasn\u2019t all that difficult.<\/p>\n
Tunde and I agreed to end our relationship. I was at the point where I wanted to share something real with someone and we both knew his wife was never going to agree to a divorce. We still remained good friends though. I wasn\u2019t stupid enough to let a billionaire like that go out of my life. I was basically his handbag but without the sex. He asked several times but I refused to connect him with any girl I knew. I wasn\u2019t about to pour sand into my garri with my own hands. Life was perfect, wasn\u2019t it? Until it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
I had a very busy week at the office and I just wasn\u2019t in the mood for any hangouts with any of my colleagues after work. I knew the only place I could get peace was Tunde\u2019s getaway house on Banana Island and I drove there.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t have to call him before hand because I had a key and I knew he made it a rule to never bring any girl to the house to avoid trouble. Well, any girl except me. I got there and as expected, his car wasn\u2019t in the drive way which meant he was at work. I let myself in and made straight to the kitchen to fix something to eat before he got back and just then, I saw these legs that went on forever but could use a little lotion bent over the fridge looking for God knows what. In this harmattan, a girl can forget her moisturizer?<\/p>\n
\u201cHi. Do you need anything?\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then, she turned and gave me this \u2018who be this?\u2019 look<\/p>\n
\u2018I should be asking you that. Who are you and how did you get in here?\u2019<\/p>\n
Where did Tunde pick this ratchet one from?<\/p>\n
\u201cI have my keys. I\u2019m assuming Tunde left you in here on purpose because the doors were locked. Did he head back to the office?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018Who are you and how can you ask me stupid questions? What do you mean you have your keys and me, his girlfriend doesn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n
Now my problem with this chic is that I could have been anyone. His wife, his sister, any one but babe was just concerned with announcing that she was his girlfriend. As if!<\/p>\n
I walked away while she was still screaming at the top of her voice and went into Tunde\u2019s room. As soon as I locked myself in, I sent a text to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou left a mad dog here. Come and get it out now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Five minutes later, he called but I refused to pick. I wanted him to stew a little. It wasn\u2019t like I was jealous or anything because I knew that animal wasn\u2019t girlfriend material. I was just mad that my plan to enjoy a peaceful evening had been ruined.<\/p>\n
I must have dozed off because I heard a knock that could only have been Tunde.<\/p>\n
\u2018Zoey. Babe. Please open the door. It\u2019s me.\u2019<\/p>\n
He obviously thought I was mad because it took me a few minutes to open the door as I was a bit disoriented at first. When I did, he rushed in, enveloping me in an embrace.<\/p>\n
\u2018Zoey, I\u2019m sorry. I brought her here because I wanted to pick up something but then the Minister came into town and I had to rush to him. You know he is my father\u2019s friend and I can\u2019t treat him like I treat the others. I\u2019m so sorry\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s fine. She ruined my evening, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then, the girl walked into the room screaming like a banshee.<\/p>\n
\u2018Tunde! Who is this prostitute and what are you doing with her?\u2019<\/p>\n
I inhaled sharply as he turned to look at her.<\/p>\n
\u2018What did you say?\u2019 He asked, deathly calm.<\/p>\n
She knew she goofed because she didn\u2019t open her mouth to say anything.<\/p>\n
He then walked to his drawer, pulled out some notes and handed it to her. The money was about 20k \u2018For your trouble\u2019.<\/p>\n
See how girls miss their luck. He pressed a bell and one of his guards came in to see her out. The girl looked like she was about to cry and she looked at me to beg on her behalf. I looked away so she would know I also didn\u2019t want her there.<\/p>\n
I followed behind them as I wanted to head to the kitchen and fix us something to eat. While I was making our dinner, I felt his hands around my waist as he planted little kisses on my neck and ear.<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s all your fault, you know. You ended things between us and I\u2019ve been looking for someone like you ever since\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. We ended things and you can stop searching. You can\u2019t find anyone like me\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2018Obviously. What are you making?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cRice and chicken sauce. I didn\u2019t want to eat out\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2018Don\u2019t feel like either and if you weren\u2019t here, I\u2019d have been spending unnecessary money. Money that isn\u2019t exactly flowing in this Buhari\u2019s government\u2019.<\/p>\n
I laughed at that but he was right. Money was a bit tight and has been since the new administration came on. I had an idea which had been dancing around in my head for a few weeks and I figured now was the best time to bring it up. Well, after he had eaten.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019t you help me cut the chicken into bits while I saut\u00e9 the vegetables. The rice is already cooking and it shouldn\u2019t take long to get soft. That way we finish up quickly and eat. I\u2019m starving\u201d.<\/p>\n
Soon we were having dinner and as I brought out two bottles of red wine, he knew I wanted us to talk.<\/p>\n
\u2018What\u2019s on your mind?\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
