[Osose visits Johnson in his house since they were friends, they were free with each other, but not really with sensitive information. She found her way to the sitting room and meets Johnson there pacing in front of the TV.]
JOHNSON: Bestie? How are you? What brings you to my place?
OSOSE: Are you chasing me away? Can’t I visit my bestie again?
JOHNSON: No na. I can’t chase you away. Sit down jarey.
OSOSE: Thank you. I hope all is well, this one I caught you moving around in front of your TV. [The TV was on definitely. So she couldn’t ask if the TV had a fault he was trying to fix.]
JOHNSON: All is fine, bestie. [He was careless and loosing courtesy. He sat down without offering or asking if she’d need anything.]
OSOSE: Are you sure you are OK? You usually offer me drinks or something nice whenever I enter your house. Dude! Are you sure everything is OK? [Her instincts were magnificent as it swung her towards him, closing in on him to smell the stressed out sweat on his body.]
JOHNSON: I am not ok. [He cried out like a baby]. I am not ok.
[She closed in more and placed him within her arms and introduced him to her breast with the warm embrace.]
OSOSE: Don’t worry John-John. I am here for you always.
JOHNSON: [After a brief sensational take in, he responded with reciprocated emotions in his eyes] I don’t know what I have done to deserve such a perfect angel like you. [They closed in for a kiss]
[Yes! One of her creepy fantasies again. Johnson had to freak out just a little seeing her space out between their discussion.]
JOHNSON: Are you sure you are alright, bestie? You can talk to me.
OSOSE: [The words came out of her head and sat on her tongue but she was quick to conceal them in a cough] I love you.
JOHNSON: Pardon? I couldn’t hear you clearly over the cough. What did you say?
OSOSE: At least get me water please. [She followed up with the act and covered up really nice.]
[Johnson hurried up to get water for her.]
[Unfortunately he left his phone just close to her. And that was when the long awaited message came in. Osose could not keep her eyes from it and read the message at that first glance.]
[The message read “We have received the package. Your secret is safe with us”. She was curious and fast at the same time. She opened the message and saw the whole deal. She immediately transferred the entire content of the WhatsApp message including the video to her own WhatsApp number and deleted every trace of it.]
OSOSE: Please add a nice glass of wine to it when coming.
[Johnson came back with a bottle of water and a glass of wine and handed it to Osose who resumed her initial position before he left. It was if nothing happened.]
OSOSE: Thank you John-John, you’re a darling.
JOHNSON: You’re welcome.
[He took his seat as if nothing had happened since he was still anticipating the message.]
[He looked at his phone and didn’t see any message. He opened the chat to check. Nothing. He dropped his phone.]
OSOSE: [Distracted him a little] Where is your fiancée?
JOHNSON: She is not around. But she will be back soon.
[Just then her phone rings and she picks. Suddenly, his received a notification and it was the message he has been waiting for. “We have received the package. Your secret is safe with us.” He finally Heaved a sigh of relief owing to the receipt of the message.]
OSOSE: I just got a call from my boss. I will be taking my leave now to attend to my work. Do take care John-John.
JOHNSON: So soon? You did not even finish the wine. But it’s all good. Let me see you off.
[He readied himself and followed her out of the house.]
