episode 10

Chioma: welcome, darling. How was today?

Mr Ambrose: it wasn't so bad. How was yours?

Chioma: it was fine. I tidied up the kids wardrobes. Lots of clothes they have outgrown.

Mr Ambrose: they need to be sent to charity for children who might benefit from them. Tatiana has more clothes than any child I know. She doesn't need it.

How are they?

Chioma: they fine. Sleeping upstairs .

Mr Ambrose: and their nanny?

Chioma: she is asleep too. Would you like to eat or shower first?

Mr Ambrose: neither, at the moment. Erm, I rang my mum and asked if the kids could spend the weekend with her and she was excited. Is that okay by you?

Chioma: yeah! Yeah. I need a break anyway.

Mr Ambrose: I feel we need some time together to talk about a few things away from the kids. We haven't been out alone since I returned. That's not what I promised you. Is it?

Chioma: I understand

Tatiana: daddy!!! Daddy!

Mr Ambrose: oh dear! Mummy, you must not run down the stairs! Now stop there and I'll come get you. Stop!…That's my girl!

Sweetie, I thought you said she was asleep! (Goes upstairs and carries her down)

Chioma: well, as far as I am aware, she was asleep. Probably heard your voice and woke up

Mr Ambrose: why did you wake up, Mummy?

Tatiana: because nanny was snoring! And I woke up and I saw you!

Chioma/Ambrose: 😂😂😂😂

Mr Ambrose: you didn't see me, because I was downstairs. Did you hear my voice?

Tatiana: yes! Yes I 'hiad ' your voice

Mr Ambrose: you HEARD my voice. Shall we say that correctly?

Tatiana: I heard your voice

Mr Ambrose: excellent! Mummy, Would you like to spend the weekend at grandma's?

Tatiana: grandma Seline?

Mr Ambrose: Yes. Who is grandma Seline' s husband?

Tatiana: I know!!! Grandpa Ambrose!!!!!💃🏾💃🏾

Mr Ambrose: why do you like going to grandma and grandpa's house?

Tatiana: because grandma has a big garden and let's me play with the mud!! And Mr thief don't come to grandma's house because grandpa has a gun!!

Mr Ambrose: but I told you that Mr thief can't come here. This is a new place. Mr thief only comes to the old house. Do you want me to buy a gun?

Tatiana: I don't like Mr thief. I like elephants and cocopods and…..and

Mr Ambrose: and me?

Tatiana: no! And….and…

Mr Ambrose: you don't love me?

Tatiana: I love you daddy!!!!

Mr Ambrose: I love you too, my angel!

Chioma: it never ends, does it! These two. Dear husband, you need to eat now.

Mr Ambrose: alright…

Chioma: mummy, we are giving some of your old clothes to children who do not have clothes to wear. Is that alright?

Tatiana: why can't their mummy and daddy buy them clothes🤷🏽‍♀

Chioma: some of them don't have mummies and daddies. That's why

Tatiana: Mr thief killed their daddy?

Chioma: ermm, yes and some just died. People die for many reasons not just Mr thief

Tatiana: but when they die they go to heaven and buy them loadsssss of ice cream. Mummy when are you going to heaven?

Mr Ambrose:😁😁😁

Chioma: not anytime soon! Now let's go upstairs. Daddy needs to eat. Mr Ambrose, your daughter is asking when I am dying and you are laughing right? Time to go to my own daddy's house

Mr Ambrose: hahahaha! She's only a child. Her innocence is beautiful!

Chioma: I'm telling you!

Charlotte:( 📱📱📱📱) Nina, I am honestly tired of being home on weekends with Deric and his constant bickering. I need a new hobby.

Nina: (📱📱📱) Is he home? I can come over

Charlotte: no. He went to Lagos to come back tomorrow. Please come over let's hang out.

Nina: didn't you do a bit of pole dancing when you were in London? Why don't you pick that up again!

Charlotte: Oh my goodness! That is actually true! I wanna get back to pole dancing and it keeps you fit!

Nina: at least on weekends, you can dance in clubs and they pay really good money. A friend of mine who does it says she gets paid 150k per performance and you need to see the car she drives! Solid!

Charlotte: can you link me up with her Please? Does she go different places or works for one club?

Nina: she travels around the country. But you can choose to work for a specific pub.

Charlotte: yea, obviously, with Deric and his insecurity, I have to lie every day I have a performance. So I can't travel that far.

Nina: I'm gonna have a quick shower and come over, so we can go see her

Charlotte: fantastic! Babe, I can't believe that man declined to see the picture and to comment on what we told him!

Nina: if I ever get married in life, I want a man like him! In fact, I have been thinking on trying my luck on him😜. Afterall he didn't see my face so he wouldn't suspect a thing😉

Charlotte: do you think such a man would take any notice of another woman? Seems to be committed to his marital vows. I wish!!!
