Episode 5
Today is Wednesday, the day Tobi is celebrating his birthday outside home for the first time ever, he has had it planned by his buddies and they assure him that there is nothing he should worry about, he wakes up feeling so fresh and gives Jane a call to direct her on what to do in the office in his absence, he gets off the phone to find find his mum standing at the door
“Can I come in” she asks as calmly as ever
“Or sure mum…you don’t need to ask” Monica comes in and coils next to her son on the bed
“Aren’t going to say happy birthday to me like you always do”
“I’m sorry son, not this year” he looks aside
“Are you going to the office like you always do”
“Not today….I have a birthday to celebrate today and I’m going out to do that” his mother’s eyes glitter on hearing that
“Am I invited”
“Nope….just a table for two but I can throw a small party for you and the Lisa’s here right here”
“Hahahaha…. I’m excited” she leans closer
“Who is she” she asks in a low tone and Tobi has to put up his best face ever so she would fall for his lie
“You will get to meet her soon mum…. we are just getting to know each other”
“I get it but what’s more important is that you’re seeing her”
“Now don’t I deserve a happy birthday wish from my mother”
“You don’t have to say it twice baby” they get playful and his aged mother leaves the room…..
Tobi sits down and now it hits him, he surely needs a girl, he will pay to come home and act as his girlfriend and that would throw his mum surely off his back for a while but he just doesn’t have the perfect candidate….he’s still thinking when he gets a call from his buddies
“What’s up Dave”
“Are you ready for your party”
“Man! how can you ask me that when we’re just some few minutes past eight in the morning”
“Sure…I’m asking because everything is ready for our party tonight”
“Where is it going to be anyways”
“Tropical suites…”
“That’s a good place but don’t forget it’s strictly by invitation, and no alcohol”
“Oh yeah!…and no women right”
“Hahaha…stupid I’m serious, remember today is still Wednesday and tomorrow all of us is supposed to be in office”
“I hear you boss”……… the rest of the day was not really busy for Tobi, he was home almost all throughout and doing nothing, it was exactly six in the evening when he decided to get ready for his party, he felt a little weird about the whole thing but he brushed the whole feeling off as merely a feeling of cold feet……he takes a very long deserving bath and steps out of the bathroom to find a gift box laid on his bed, he smiles at the sight of it knowing fully well who must have stopped it, the only woman in his life that’s his mother, he put the box aside and promises to take a look at what’s inside when he gets back, his next stop is at his wardrobe room, he spread what he thought would be so perfect for a party but since he doesn’t know these things himself he became stuck, he decided to settle for a golden suite with a yellow shirt underneath, a black sneaker and he really felt awful in his choice but he couldn’t care less given the fact that his body always agrees with anything he puts on, he steps out of his room for the very first time and he is received by happy birthday wishes from their workers in the house, he didn’t really carry anything apart from his wallet that has a few notes, he gets into his black Lamborghini and zooms out of the mansion to the busy street………..
It’s coming to seven in the evening and Melanie is getting ready to hit home from school, Ron had called her saying he would come pick her up in thirty minutes time, she is just starting to get moving with her friend who also asked for a lift home, as they come out of the class room, she gets a call from Ron’s mother, she’s very skeptical about the call but decided to pick anyways
“Hello mum”
“Mel how are you”
“I’m fine Mum”
“Where are you, have you left school already”
“Not yet, I just received a call from Ron, he will be here some minutes from now”
“Know what, tell him not to bother, I’m Already around your school area and just thought I should pick you up, there is something I want us to talk about” she’s not liking this but she can not say no because that would be indiscipline
“Alright mum but I hope all is well”
“Indeed all is well, it’s just something we could even talk over the phone but I just happen to be somewhere around your school and can you come wait for me at the junction, when he you’re there you give me call I’m just around there” she puts the phone down just as Ron drives in, he comes out and they hug
“Hop in and we go, it’s getting late”
“Sorry babe…you will have to go without me, i still have something I need to take care of” she lies and Ron becomes confused
“What’s going on….didn’t you tell me you were done with every assignment for the day” she stammers and her friend had to walk away from them
“Can I wait for you”
“No…I will take a cab home you must be tired, just go on ahead, I shall call you when I get home” so reluctantly Ron leaves her standing there but gives her a few notes to take a cab home, he gets in his jeep and drives away, one thing about Ron is that he is a good rough man but he doesn’t really insist too much, he is a man of few words and doesn’t force anyone to do something against their wish…he knew Mel was lying to him but he couldn’t insist especially on realising she doesn’t want him to know…..he drives out in the night and hits the road back home after all he was so tired…………
Mel steps out in the lonely road with almost no one insight, she clutches her bag to herself as she stands in the lonely junction waiting for Mrs pope whose phone has mysteriously gone off, she tries and tries but the phone just doesn’t go through, she started having a very bad feeling about this and decides it would be best to call Ron back to come take her home…..she’s scrawls through and calls his number, she put the phone in her ear but suddenly feels like some one is standing behind her, she tries to turn to see who the person but before she could, her mouth and nose were covered with a piece of cloth and it was the last she remembers………….
Ron who is on high speed heading home suddenly sees a call coming through his phone, he picks the phone only to see it’s coming from Mel, a part of him wants to pick the call but something tells him not to, he decides to ignore it because he is still mad at her for lying to him, he dropped the phone down and concentrates on the road……he gets through the gate and is welcomed by his dog who always waits for him by the gate, he walks over to the guards and says hello to them, he asks about his parents and is told his Dad travelled and his mum is in, he strolls in but on his way inside, he decides to give Mel a call but strangely she is not picking her calls, he calls one more time and still the same story, the third time he calls the number is switched off
“That’s strange” he says out loud thinking he is alone
“What’s strange” Patricia his younger sister asks and he says it’s nothing and walks past her……
Tobi’s party is going on so well just the way he wanted, he’s a little disappointed Jane was not invited but his friends assure him that women always get the wrong idea of things and she would take his gesture to mean he is interested in her, he is truly having fun and enjoying himself but just at this time, a waiter comes with a glass of cosmopolitan, his favourite drink, he’s a little suspicious about this drink but his friends assure him that it’s their special way of saying happy birthday to him for being a good boss…….
Tobi took a sip of the drink and truly it tastes great, he continued taking the door drink as his friends watch with smiles all over their faces, as all this is going on, the hired guys in the room are taking random pictures with a passed out Melanie who has no idea what’s going on……..
Tobi finishes his first glass and he is poured another one, all of a sudden he starts to get tipsy and excited and at the same time he is feeling some sexual urge that he can’t control or contain, his friends realise the drag is working so well and decide to ask if he’s alright just to be sure
“I’m not alright… I need a woman…I need to feel her skin and her body” he gives a straight answer and David is excited, he signals to his friends that everything is ready so they take a not so drunk but sexy Tobi to a room, he looks to be enjoying his birthday…..he is left in the room and the guys close the door behind wishing him all the best, the sight Tobi meets on bed made him stand up instantly…….
