EPISODE 15
Another bad sex
INT. A RESTAURANT IN IBADAN- AFTERNOON
Ann sits in a natural heavily lighted restaurant going through some documents. There were few people in this restaurant having their lunch. Ann looks up in time to see Aperry walk into the restaurant
She raises her hand to signal to him
ANN
Over here
Aperry then changes direction and walks towards her. He unbuttons his suit as he sits down opposite her
APERRY
I hope I didn’t keep you waiting, something came up
She starts to clear up the documents before her
ANN
It is fine, I was getting some work done anyway
She signals to one of the waitress to come and the young lady makes her way to Ann
ANN
Menu please
The waitress hands a menu each to both of them. They both look through it
APERRY
It is my turn right?
ANN
Yes but don’t worry, I will cover it
Aperry suddenly looks up with seriousness
ANN
What?
APERRY
What do you want?
ANN
(Confused) What are you talking about?
APERRY
First, I came late, you said it was fine and now you are offering to cover lunch when it is my turn… You want something, what is it?
ANN
Can’t I be nice to…
APERRY
Spill, Ann
Ann sighed deeply then she turns to the waitress
ANN
I will call you when I am ready
The waitress nods and leaves. Ann lift up the duffin bag that was on the chair next to her to her thigh and brings out a new pack of cell phone and laptop
Aperry groan loudly in annoyance when he sees this
APERRY
Oh! Come on, is your husband back again?
She places her broken cell phone and laptop next to the new ones
ANN
Yes, he came back yesterday
APERRY
Another bad sex, I guess
ANN
Are you going to help me or not?
APERRY
Why not just give it to your firm’s IT guy?
ANN
You know there are information on it that no other eyes should see
Aperry rest back and looks at Ann with worry
APERRY
How long are you going to do this, Ann?
ANN
Do what?
APERRY
Stay in your marriage, it is obvious that you are miserable, so how long are you going to keep doing this?
ANN
What do you want be to do, divorce the man?
APERRY
Yes, divorce him, you are not happy with him
ANN
I won’t be a hypocrite, Aperry
APERRY
What does that have to do with anything?
ANN
Imade was in the same situation year ago, she is still in it and I am sure she just accepted her fate. I remember been so angry at her for wanting to get out, I won’t do what I preach against
APERRY
I can’t believe you just compared your marriage to Imade’s
ANN
Is there a difference? She is not happy, I am not happy but I don’t hear you asking her to leave him
APERRY
That is because Wemimo…
ANN
(Cuts in sharply) is different, is that what you are going to say
APERRY
No, I was going to say Wemimo gave his life to Imade, he lives for her and he is still living for her
ANN
Well, if it makes any difference, his family made my father the governor of this state, I am a governor’s daughter
APERRY
Like you care about that and that is for your father, what has he done for you except nag about the two of you living in different states
ANN
That is…
APERRY
You said there is no difference between Imade’s marriage and yours, well, let me tell you a glaring difference, Imade is who she is today all thanks to Wemimo. He gave her everything she has, he made her… You, you were already made before you met your husband
ANN
There is nothing you can say to make leave my husband, I won’t destroy my family, I won’t do that to my kids
APERRY
He only has one kid with you, Bankole is…
ANN
(Cuts in angrily) Enough, just enough, are you going to help me or not
APERRY
Of course, I will help you but this is the last time. The next time you let your emotions get the best of you, you better find another alternative
ANN
I will just give it to IT guy in my firm and if damning information about…
APERRY
Don’t you dare guilt trip me, if any confidential information about Wemimo gets out, that is on you and I will fucking make sure he knows that it is your fault
ANN
It won’t happen again, I promise
APERRY
Let it happen and it will be your mess to clean
She sighs lightly
ANN
When am I getting my phone?
APERRY
Tonight, I will bring it by your house. You will get your laptop tomorrow morning
ANN
Thank you
APERRY
I am covering lunch, I don’t need your bribe
She smiles then waves to the waitress to come
APERRY
A word of advice
ANN
I don’t want to hear it
APERRY
But you will, you need to decide on what you want before it gets too late
ANN
What is getting late?
APERRY
Bankole, you don’t exactly think that he will wait around forever right?
ANN
No woman is better for him than me
APERRY
I am going to ignore how selfish that makes you
ANN
After everything that has happened, whoever he gets to marry has to be someone better than I am, I owe him that much
APERRY
I don’t know if that is loyalty or you are just misguided but with or without you, that man will be married any moment from now
Ann looks at Aperry suspiciously
ANN
Do you know something I don’t?
APERRY
Just saying but you don’t exactly think he will be single forever, do you? You need to get your priority straight
ANN
My priority is keeping my family together and not some youthful love
APERRY
Whatever you say, Ann
He then turns to Waitress while Ann thinks about what she just heard
APERRY
I will have a plate of fried rice and chicken. I will also have moin moin too with a glass of red wine, Ann, what will you have?
Ann picks up the menu again and looks through it
Next on Why?
SISTER ELIZABETH
Are you saying you hate your own kids?
IMADE
I didn’t say that
SISTER ELIZABETH
Then what are you saying?
IMADE
I am saying the love I have for Wemi is different from the one I have for the girls
