Chapter 27 - Episode 26( Not My Ass)

|POETIC INTRO|

Not my Ass

Leave me be

She wasn't made for that

Not my Ass

She doesn't get juicy

Let her be!

Not my Ass

I wouldn't do that to myself

She can't please you.

It ain't your Ass

My boobs should be enough

If you think otherwise, then I'm not for you! 

It's her Ass let her decide

Her cheery should be enough

Or are they too dry for you to dine with?

Good morning everyone I know you are all wondering why I called an early morning meeting.

Dr. Franker will be in charge while I'm away.

Dr. MABEL

But we will miss you, Sir.

(She puts up a sad expression in pretense)

Dr. PASCAL

Yes, Sir, we will.

Please return as soon as you can.

Dr. YEMI

(He turns to Dr. Mabel)

No, you wouldn't

(He turns to Dr. Pascal)

As for you, if wishes were horses, you would want me out of your life for good but sadly I'm not leaving your life.

"The room is filled with laughter"

Dr. FRANKER

(She notices Temilade is usually quiet and absent-minded)

Dr. Temi, are you okay?

You have been too quiet.

Dr. HENRY

I was about to ask the same question

(He turns to Temi)

Are you sick?

TEMI

I'm fine

(She wears a sad smile)

Dr. MABEL

Are you sure?

(She gazes at Temilade)

TEMI

Yes, I am okay.

(She rushes out of the office with both her hands on her lips)

Dr. MABEL

(She turns to Dr. Yemi)

Excuse me, Sir

I want to check on Dr. Temi.

Dr. YEMI

Go ahead.

You can all go.

"They all walked out of his office"

_____________________________________

"Dr. Mabel knocks on the Restroom door"

TEMI

I'm fine

(She washes her face and unlocks the door)

Dr. MABEL

No, you are not, Temi.

That is the third time you are throwing up this morning.

I'm worried about you talking to me, Temi what is wrong?

TEMI

I said I'm fine, Mabel.

(She turns to leave)

Dr. MABEL

Are you pregnant?

TEMI

(She stops and turns to Dr. MABEL)

What?

Dr. MABEL

(She catches up to Temi's anxious body language)

Oh my God, you are pre....

TEMI

(She places her right hand on Dr. Mabel's mouth)

Shut up, Mabel!

Dr. MABEL

Who is the father?

TEMI

Are you seriously asking me that question?

Dr. MABEL

What do you expect me to ask, Temi?

TEMI

Really?

(She appears furious)

Dr. MABEL

Calm down, Temi.

I guess it's, Michael.

TEMI

Of course, it's his.

I haven't been with anyone else my entire life.

Dr. MABEL

Wait a minute.

You mean Michael was your first?

TEMI

Yes, Mabel.

Before I met Michael, I was a virgin.

Stop asking me irrelevant questions

(She drops both her hands on the edges of the sink)

Dr. MABEL

Relax Temi.

First of all the most important is to figure out how to tell Michael.

TEMI

I don't know about that.

Dr. MABEL

Don't tell me you plan on keeping this from him.

This is a decision you both have to make together,

TEMI

I know, Mabel but it's complicated.

I don't know how he will take the news.

Dr. MABEL

I have known Michael for years

Trust me you have to tell him.

TEMI

Hmm, we have to go back to work.

Let's talk about this later please keep it to yourself.

(She wipes off the tears on her face)

Dr. MABEL

Temi!

TEMI

(She turns to Dr. Mabel)

I don't want to talk about it.

Let's go back to work, please

(She walks out of the restroom)

FESTAC OIL AND GAS, YABA LAGOS|

"Taiwo walks into his office alongside Eniola and Adebisi"

ENIOLA

Welcome to Festac Oil and Gas, Ma

Please make yourself comfortable.

(She pulls out one of the leather chairs opposite Taiwo)

Excuse me, Ma let me ask the Secretary to bring you something.

(She turns to leave)

ADEBISI

Don't bother, Dear.

(She smiles at Eniola)

Do you know you are the spitting image of your father?

TAIWO

You know our Dad?

ADEBISI

(She turns to Taiwo)

Of course.

You are the Baloguns your father is the governor of Lagos

Even those living under the bridge would recognize him.

ENIOLA

Very true.

But I must get you something

You are an important guest.

(She rushes out of the office)

TAIWO

You are welcome, Ma.

Though I am wondering what The CEO of the biggest oil company in Europe is doing at my office.

ADEBISI

(She smiles at Taiwo)

You mean why an exclusive personality would want to associate herself with The future Chief Executive Officer of The Biggest Oil Company in Africa?

TAIWO

I may be my father's first son but I don't know about replacing my Grandfather.

My brother would rather die than watch me take over the company.

ADEBISI

That is why I am here.

I rather work with you than with another Balogun.

TAIWO

But you barely know me, Ma.

You just met me so much how can you tell?

(He appears curious)

ADEBISI

The eyes don't lie.

I know greatness when I see one.

I few years ago, I invested a lot of money in this company.

I want all of my shares transferred under your name.

TAIWO

Don't you think it's too early to be heavy on such an expensive joke?

ADEBISI

Don't you think I will find it annoying that you are convinced I will come from Europe just to make a joke about my money and investments?

TAIWO

I apologize, Ma.

But why me?

Why would you want to keep your shares and understand my custody knowing fully aware that legally I can stab you in the back and keep them to myself?

ADEBISI

You already have the answer to your question.

You prioritized my motive over the benefits attached to my shares in your hands and custody.

Now you know why I trust you with them.

I want somebody on the inside that I can trust and that person is you.

TAIWO

But you are a business guru

You own the most successful company ever by a black woman.

Why would you need me to keep your shares in check?

ADEBISI

You are the one who needs me.

I am doing you a favor.

You need these shares if you want to stand a chance against your brother.

Think about it, Son.

My Lawyer will be in touch with you.

I shall take my leave now.

(She gets up to leave)

TAIWO

I will manage your shares under one condition.

ADEBISI

(She turns to Taiwo)

Now you are talking like a real businessman.

What would that be?

TAIWO

I want access to your connections and resources

I want you to help me find potential clients who will be interested in working with me.

ADEBISI

Hmm, alright I will help you.

Though I want to be your first client.

I will find six projects but they must be outside Lagos.

TAIWO

That won't be an issue, Ma

Thank you.

(He appears excited)

ADEBISI

Alright

As I said, my lawyer will be in touch.

(She walks out of the office)

TAIWO

(He raises both his arms and drops them in front of his face)

YES!!!

(He screams in excitement)

Mrs. K BALOGUN

Wow, do you know you and Ayo are the only people who can recognize my cooking?

Dr. SHADE

How about Chief?

Mrs. K BALOGUN

He doesn't.

We both know conversations of these kinds can't make his list of relevant things to talk about

Oh yes she did

Miss Agnis

Dr. SHADE

Miss Agnis?

Mrs. K BALOGUN

Why are you even in the country?

ADEBISI

I told I was tired of that place I need a change of environment and I want to see my husband and son.

Mrs. K BALOGUN

(She grabs Adebisi by the arm and moves her to a tight corner of the Balogun's Mansion(

I understand how you feel, Adebisi but I thought I made myself clear.

There is time for everything. What if someone catches up to all of our plans?

ADEBISI

Relax, Auntie Kate I covered up my tracks.

There is nothing linking me to my previous identity I don't even the face I gaze at when I'm standing in front of the mirror.

Mrs. K BALOGUN

Even at that, we still have to be careful

Chief can easily sense that something is wrong and trust me, Taiwo isn't stupid.

ADEBISI

Taiwo is all grown up now he looks nothing like those pictures you sent me.

Mrs. K BALOGUN

Wait a minute, did you confront him?

ADEBISI

That was the first thing I did when I landed

(She sensed Kate's struggling to control her rage )

Before you react please try and understand me.

I couldn't help it any longer I just needed to see my boy's face.

Mrs. K BALOGUN

Adebisi, can we talk about all of these later?

This should be the last place you should be at the moment.

Nice to meet you, Ma.

(She welcomes her request for a handshake)

Mrs. K BALOGUN

So Miss Agnis was just about to leave.

Dr. SHADE

TAIWO

Because I didn't ask for this I only told him it will be better if I work from Yaba so I will be buying a house there.

(He sits on one of the leather couches)

RUKKY

But Taiwo you get Ego shall Chief was willing to give you this place for free but you insisted on buying a house that is legally yours.

TAIWO

Well, I know Grandpa and trust me it's best I do it this way.

I want to own properties that are not linked to where I'm coming from.

RUKKY

But this house will forever share the history of the Balogun's so even if it's legally yours, you can't change that fact.

ENIOLA

For a second he sounded like Bayo

(She teased)

TAIWO

(He drops the flat-screen remote)

That's a lie I am not like that your proud Ego filled brother of yours that thinks he is entitled to everything.

RUKKY

Yes oh Yea that's true

(she hugs Taiwo from the back)

Don't talk about Taiwo like that again

TAIWO

Hmm, serious students.

ONYINYE

Ahh sir, it's not about seriousness oh

We don't have a choice so of those lecturers are heartless.

MARIA

So why are you guys here?

(She sits beside Eniola)

ENIOLA

Chief made Taiwo a branch manager so I am here to assist him.

(She points at Rukky)

This idiot is here to make noise and bother my life.

"The room is filled with laughter"

RUKKY

I nor blame you at all

Oya bye bye I'm going

(She gets up)

(She walks out of the room)

LOLADE's RESIDENCE LEKKI PHASE 2|

" Mrs. Adesoji visits Lolade at her Residence"

LOLADE

So what is the update concerning Mrs. Obi?

(She crosses her legs)

Mrs. ADESOJI

I tried my best to convince her but she says she need no reason why she should deny her husband and betray his party.

LOLADE

Hmm, but you know we must find a way to earn her trust. The NNC already has the North. We have the South on our side the West is being divided between both parties but there is no clarity in the East and that is alarming.

We can't split the East with them we have to earn the people's trust.

MRS ADESOJI

I agree with you on that but fear won't solve our problems right now. We need to campaign heavily in the East The election is less than two weeks from today

There is no time.

LOLADE

Why don't we go through Mr. Obi himself?

Mrs. ADESOJI

That will be very difficult because that man would rather lick your father's ass than dine with me.

Besides my sources tells me there is a sort of arrangement between both of them.

LOLADE

What is that?

Mrs. ADESOJI

Mr. Obi has promised to Deliver the East to the NNC party if his youngest granddaughter agrees to marry his only son.

LOLADE

Do you mean Temilade?

Mrs. ADESOJI

Yes!

I always forget her name I don't know why.

LOLADE

Then it's simple all we have to do is make sure that union never takes place.

Mrs. ADESOJI

I even heard Temi is giving the Obi a hard time.

Probably because she's in love with someone else.

So all we have to do is find out who that man is and make certain for sure that nothing comes between them.

LOLADE

Leave that to me if that's the only way to get the Obi's on our side, then I will do everything I can to stop that marriage.

Mrs. ADESOJI

Alright.

Before it escapes me, what have you done about Taiwo's recent curiosity?

We can't risk him finding out about the misery behind his mother's death.

LOLADE

Leave it to me.

I will take care of Taiwo.

(She picks up the glass of red wine beside her)

CHIKE's RESIDENCE. FESTAC, LAGOS|

"Chike picks up the frying pan as he simultaneously dials Mabel's line"

CHIKE

Where the hell is this woman na?

She's supposed to be on her way na.

(He drops the frying pan and picks up three eggs)

"Mabel walks into the kitchen"

CHIKE

Wow, you look excited.

Dr. MABEL

I missed your hands I want to eat you hard

(She grabs him by his shirt and pulls him to herself)

"Chike slowly lifts her and drops her on the couch in the suiting. Mabel struggles to unbutton his shirt as the buttons were too stubborn finally she was able to take them off.

She caresses his back as his tongue was making its way to her fluffy ears.

"Oh God, Chike you are bad"

She mourns out as his watery lips and tongue drops on her coffee-brown right nipples

He has his eyes locked on hers as he makes his way to her dripping flowers.

"Omo this girl you dey wet sha"

He gently pushes his finger into her bosom he pauses half then lifts the tips of his finger to the upper part of her walls.

"Babe what you doing, Mabel asked in a dead-to-talk voice"

"You are about to experience something your world of imagination may not be able to comprehend"

He gently rubs the surface of her top walls for a few seconds and pulls his hands unexpectedly.

"Chike just kill me, she said as she wets the couch with her uncontrollable fountain"

He pushes sideways in an attempt to bury his pride in her ass.

"Chike that's my ass"

Chike whispers into her ears

"I know we try new things every day" "

Dr. MABEL

Ehh? ṣe o ya were? No, be me and you go do that one

(She pushes him away)

CHIKE

But there is nothing wrong with that na.

Dr. MABEL

Ehh?

You say?

Everything about it is wrong.

The anus was created for excretion, Oga.

(She begins to feel this burning sensation down there)

CHIKE

Are you ok?

Dr. MABEL

Omo, my vaginal dey hot me

(She gets up from the couch)

CHIKE

(He recalls slicing pepper and onion earlier)

I think it's my hands.

I sliced pepper earlier.

Dr. MABEL

Ahh, this boy don kill me oh.

(She rushes to the bathroom)

CHIEF BALOGUN

Good morning, Mr Akin.

(He picks up the brown envelope)

Mr. AKIN

That is the young man Temilade is seeing.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Are you certain?

Mr. AKIN

Very positive, Sir.

She frequents the Adebayo's residence a lot and she is very much involved with the family day to day activities

She also sleeps there sometimes.

CHIEF BALOGUN

(He flips through the photograph)

Hmm, this is good but I want something more concrete.

Because if this is true, I will do everything to end this nonsense.

Mr. AKIN

Also, Temilade is financially involved with them. She took care of the little girl's hospital bills and some other bills.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Hmm, so not only is she involved with a poor man from a poor background she is also involved with a financial vampire

This is getting interesting.

(He turns to Mr. Akin)

Is that all?

Mr. AKIN

For now, yes.

CHIEF BALOGUN

Alright

You can go I will send you some perks and incentives.

Mr. AKIN

Thank you, Chief.

(He walks out of the office)

(She stands in front of Michael)

MICHAEL

You are only here because I wouldn't want to give my daughter any reason to think I treated her mother badly.

You can stay as long as you want but doesn't mean you are needed here or I care about you.

KEMI

Come on, Michael we both know you still care even though it isn't intense.

I am the love of your life you lost your virginity to me.

MICHAEL
