CHAPTER 1
"Sidney, get me my money back!" Mrs. Annie yelled at me, that woman is stingy as hell. How can a woman of her reputation stoop so low for just ten thousand naira?
"He already left ma"
"Find a way to get my money from that asshole!" she yelled again and started her usual grumbling and complaining. No wonder her husband divorced her, a nagging woman.
My name is Sidney. First of all, I would brief you about my job. I work in one of the biggest estates in the city of Abuja, under the roof of a mean and aggressive divorced woman who calls herself a spinster. Little does she know that she looks too old and could be referred to as a grandma. I help her to clean and cook, okay fine, I am a housemaid.
Mrs. Annie is the most rude and crude human I have ever lived with, she is a fashion victim. She has a good part of her though, she buys me clothes because she can't afford to have me dress anyhow under her roof. I am a fashionista and I dig it.
Are you already worried about me? No need to. I am good at fobbing so I fob her off when she starts her shenanigans. I am not suffering, I am taking proper care of myself. Oops! I didn't tell you my surname, but I have none. I am from an orphanage, I do not know so much about myself, I have had a series of illnesses that resulted in a loss of memory so I don't have much background, though, little details have been coming back, I will update you whenever I remember something worth telling. I actually gave myself the surname, Sylvester. So call me Sidney Sylvester. I am 28 and a practicing catholic.
"Sidney, come get me my lipstick!"
That's my boss again. She is in her room and I am downstairs in the kitchen but she wants me to come up to her room to get her lipstick, this is just the tip of the iceberg of how lazy she is.
"Here it is, ma"
"What are you doing in the kitchen?"
"Frying the plantain you asked me to"
"Make it snappy, I am expecting a visitor"
"Yes, ma!"
Okay, here's one little secret. I have a huge crush on Mrs. Annie's brother. His name is Jake, Jake Silver. He is my man, my military man. he is 28, his genotype is "AA", and he practically lives and works in Aso-Rock. He is one of the president's security agents. He is not in any relationship, but he is a flirt. Soldier men are always flirts, he has never flirted with me but don't ask me how I know that he's a flirt.
He's every lady's dream. I do not know why I am so attracted to a man like him, he's not the type to stay faithful in a relationship but he is so cute!
We never had a conversation, he just sent me on errands like the maid that I am. I have been stalking him. There's one thing I want to know that I do not know about him, his relationships. He seems to be a really lonely man, with no friends, not any.
***
It's not like I and Jake are acquainted in any way. He obviously would see me as a piece of trash. A mere maid, but I have an idea of how to show him who I really am. I am more than just a maid, how did you think I know so much about him? I stalk him a lot!
"Sidney! Jake is coming tomorrow. Please prepare him his favorite." Mrs. Annie yelled.
As much as that is extra work, I loved it because it involved Jake.
"One more thing, he is coming with friends so make enough of it and desserts too" she added
I rolled my eyes at first but wait a minute, isn't it a good thing? I am finally going to get to meet with his friends. I thought he was one lone wolf.
I wonder what kind of friends he keeps. Colleagues? God fearing? Flirts like him? Hot men? Or just complete jerks? Only time will tell.
"Ding–dong!" that's the doorbell.
"Sidney! Get the door!" Mrs Annie yelled again, that woman exerts all of her energy yelling.
"Yes ma"
When I opened the door, guess who I saw? A bloody Jerk, Jim! My boss' sugar boy. No wonder she asked for her lipstick! This evil son of a bitch tried to rape me the night Mrs. Annie traveled. Funny but I gave him the beatings he deserves.
Oh, my bad. I didn't mention initially that I was good at martial arts. I am extremely good. I had learned it at the early stages of my life, and the memories of how are a little blurry, that's a story for another day, but right now I need to get this Jim to keep his mouth shut so I don't get into trouble for beating up my boss' sugar boy.
You need to see how he is looking at me with his eyes so lowered, who would have thought that the almighty Jim who took pleasure in spanking my ass and giving me winks would melt this way. What beatings from Sidney can do.
"Come on in," I said to him after our little staring competition.
"Is Annie in?"
"Of course, I hope you know that you should keep your mouth sealed about what happened the other day so that we can both live happily ever after"
He just nodded and struggled his way into the house despite my obstruction. I felt like giving him a heavy knock but, Mrs. Annie was around. He is such a lucky boy.
I just stood there and watched him go upstairs to Mrs. Annie. Would you count on with me? In less than ten seconds, they will start their business on the bed.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,... Oops!!!! I didn't even count to ten and they are already doing it. I am so irritated. How young boys of his age do things as cheap as this for money. I can't wait to stop hearing Mrs. Annie's annoying moans.
