COMPLICATED 💋 💋 (EPISODE TWO)

(MIKKY and a few friends after a football match)

CHIDI: Are u serious? U actually told him that?

MIKKY: Of course. The least he can do is get security to throw me out of his Office but a mere human being telling me 2 years fasting won't change anything? C'mon...

DAVE: You're right though. No one is above God. But sometimes, you've got to re-strategize, you could have gotten that job if you weren't so righteous minded.

MIKKY: That's what people think and do these days. They are ashamed to call the name JESUS if it's gonna come between them and money 💰, but when the going gets though, they scream his name, expecting him to come to the rescue. Can you do the same to your girlfriend and expect her to show up?

DAVE: Speaking of Girlfriend, How's Vanessa?

CHIDI: Yes O! How is she?

MIKKY: Guys... Guys... Guys...

DAVE: What?

CHIDI: Leave MIKE, this one he called us 3 times, it seems she has eloped, which girl go stick to one jobless guy all in the name of LOVE ❤️, especially one as pretty as her.

MIKKY: (Laughing Hysterically) Mehn...

DAVE: (Confused) Na just 2 bottles u take O, u don high already?

MIKKY: Not that... You guys are really Hilarious... Have you considered joining the comedy trend?...

CHIDI: Which kind insult be that na?

MIKKY: (Trying to control himself) No, really? you guys should really consider joining... Na una ask me Questions, na una still dey answer am... Of what relevance is my answer then?

DAVE: Oya no vex. How is Vanessa?

MIKKY: Guys, joke apart, speaking with all honesty, that lady is God-Sent. Like Seriously? She's an Angel 👼...

CHIDI: Ehn en...

MIKKY: (Smiling) She's a Princess...

DAVE: Ehn en...

MIKKY: She's Adorable...

CHIDI: Ehn en...

MIKKY: She's A Queen...

DAVE: Ehn en...

MIKKY: She's every man's DREAM...

CHIDI: Ehn en...

MIKKY: (Surprised) This one you're just taking turns in saying this ur "Ehn en"... Am I safe?

DAVE: Continue na...

MIKKY: No No No! If I continue telling you the qualities of this lady, walahi! we go stay here till tomorrow...

CHIDI: Heiii! I warn you o... MiKE, I warn you make you no eat her food, you see your life now?...

DAVE: Aren't you the same MiKE that said all women are the same? Cheaters? Heartbreakers? Manipulators? Gold Diggers? Vindic...

MIKKY: (Cuts in) Chill! This Lady is SPECIAL. Which girl out there would stick to a man if he's jobless? Which girl would stand by her man and support him even if he's practically a liability?

DAVE: Mike, you don fall in ❤️ O...

MIKKY: Davolee, I swear down, I fit marry that girl tomorrow if RABA dey... She be RAW GOLD...

CHIDI: So how you...

MIKKY: (Cuts in) ...a minute... My phone is ringing...


(VANESSA ON THE OTHER END OF THE CALL)

MIKKY: Hi Sugar...

NESSA: Hi Honey...

MIKKY: How are you Sweetie 💋?

NESSA: I'm FiNE Darling...

MIKKY: Baby are you sure? You sound different.

(Dave in the background... "Mike don become Voice Analyser")

NESSA: I can't hide it anymore. I'm excited, I wanted to wait till you return but I just can't hold myself anymore.

MIKKY: (Smiling) Really? What's the matter? Please tell me you're pregnant.

NESSA: Preg? Haaa! How is that a good news?

MIKKY: Don't you want to be a mother?

NESSA: (Smiles) Of course I do, but my baby can't have a Jobless Father... but that's about to change...

MIKKY: How?

NESSA: You got the Job Baby. The MANAGER just called me and asked me to make sure we both come to the office tomorrow so you'd be given your employment letter.

MIKKY: Oh my God! That's Huge... That's GREAT... I'm on my way home already... We have to celebrate this...

NESSA: Can't wait to see you 🐰 Bunny...

MIKKY: Me too Cutie.

(Disconnects........)

DAVE: What happen?

MIKKY: I got the JOB !!! The manager asked me to come with Vanessa to the office tomorrow.

CHIDI: Why am I not excited?

MIKKY: Because you don't want to be I guess.

CHIDI: Why would he ask u to come with Vanessa? Your girlfriend. How is she related to your job?

DAVE: You've got a point there. And why did he call her regarding the job and not you who applied for it. How did he even get her contact?

MIKKY: What are you guys insinuating?

CHIDI: Listen to your conscience and let it tutor you. I'm certain you're suspecting what I'm thinking.

MIKKY: (Pissed Off) That Vanessa slept with that FOOL to secure a position for me in his Company?

DAVE: Bull's Eye! We all sure do think alike. You said it yourself that she's nice and encouraging. She probably loves u too much and decided to assist.

CHIDI: By opening her legs as your path to success.

MIKKY: Rubbish! Vanessa would never do such a thing. I trust her with my Life. She would never cheat on me, not for any reason.

DAVE: I won't call this cheating... She did it for you. Not for personal satisfaction or for any selfish reason.

CHIDI: You said same about Jessica, remember?

MIKKY: I have to be on my way now. I'll see you guys later.

DAVE: Don't let LOVE ❤️ manipulate you into accepting a lie to be the truth. Listen to your conscience and not your Heart.

*A FEW HOURS LATER AT HOME*

NESSA: Baby, what's wrong with you? Aren't you HAPPY about the Job?

MIKKY: (Trying to Fake a smile) Of course I am... What if I choose to ignore the Job and seek for a Job elsewhere?

NESSA: (Surprised) Why? I thought you've always wanted to work at Queens right from your 100 Level in school, so why would you choose to IGNORE the Job.

MIKKY: I don't know... I just...

NESSA: Baby, you know you can tell me anything, right?

MIKKY: (To himself) Yeah I know but not this time, how can I look you in the eye and ask you if you slept with the manager to secure me the Job. I guess there are many ways to find out.

NESSA: BABY! What's the matter?

MIKKY: It's nothing. I just had a rough day, that's all. We'll both go there tomorrow morning on your way to work.

NESSA: Now you're talking.

MIKKY: (Trying to make advances at her)

NESSA: (Resisting him) Sweetheart, I'm sorry... I had a really stressful day as well. Can we do this some other time? Please? I just need to rest.

MIKKY: Yeah sure. (Cuddling her tightly as he turns off the light) (To himself) What if CHIDI and DAVE were right? What if the reason she won't let me was because she had sex with someone earlier today?
