Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 1
BEN
Being a photographer is like trying to meet certain expectations in your life, you’ll always try to make sure every thing is in place, and create a perfect image of someone else, People’s fantasy is like a photo, they want their life to be as perfect as a photo but like all fantasy, it doesn’t come true.
My name is Benjamin but you can call me Ben, I’m a photographer and a painter , I started my career after my grad, there was no work available so I did what I was good at which was taking pictures.
At first, it was hard, cause my superiors never seem to give us a chance to show our stuff but with time, I got used to it and made a living out of it.
Being a photographer, I get the chance to go around the country taking pictures, and it was fun and I get to meet a lot of people.
I’m an introvert, I don’t like staying in crowds and I don’t talk much, I like being alone and to entertain myself, I paint the pictures I’ve taken.
Most of my colleagues think that I’m an egomaniac that I pretended to be better than people but I’m not, I’m just trying to mind my business and stay out of trouble.
The people that I mostly stay out of their way are women, they are the most annoying and troublesome, that’s why I don’t waste my time chasing after them, I concentrate on my work and pray that God should send a good loving woman my way.
My friend Willis, also a photographer like me is a born womanizer, whenever we go on jobs or photoshoot, he always ends up with one of the female customers in a hotel room, he always buys packs of condom whenever we’re going on a job, and because of his lust, instead of getting paid in cash, he always gets paid in Sex, no pain no gain.
.
Willis Ben, why you dey F*ck up? As you dey see fine babes dey mad all over you, you no dey give them second look, you sure say you no be gay?
.
Ben Na your ancestors be gay idiot, why I go waste my time dey follow material bitches?
.
Willis So? My brother time is changing, you have to go with the follow, eat your share while its your time.
.
Ben The times may have changed, but morality and sensibility hasn’t, and that’s what young people of this generation are lacking.
.
Willis Humph! Professor morality, stay there, me na toto be my morality.
.
Though Willis was an ass, he was still my friend, he always backs me up when ever I needed help and he was an interesting guy to be with anyway, I loved watching him using stupid ladies as his play thing and dump them by the end of the day, that should teach them never to believe in phooey guys and look for real responsible men.
One Monday evening , while we were in our photo studio, Our boss Mrs. Evelyn called us to her office. Willis and I went straight without delay. As we entered her office, she was busy talking on the phone with a client.
…
Mrs. Evelyn Yes mr. Freeman, I’ll send them right away, you won’t be disappointed. Goodbye.
.
After she dropped the phone and looked squarely at us, asking us to sit down. She tapped her fingers on the desk for a while before she decided to talk.
.
Mrs. Evelyn That man on my phone is one of our biggest clients and he wants the best photographers to take some pictures of his daughter who is celebrating her graduation from university.
.
Willis so what are we waiting for?
.
Mrs. Evelyn I’m not done yet, you buffoon.
.
Willis sorry madam.
.
Mrs. Evelyn As I was saying I want you two to go and do your jobs, and if you succeed without any mishaps or mistake mr. Freeman will put our Photoshop on the map, we’ll be famous through the country.
.
Ben I see so when do we get going?
.
Mrs. Evelyn Tomorrow afternoon, he lives around lekki, here’s his address, Good luck boys.
.
Willis and I left her office and went to take our equipments before leaving the photo studio, as we went outside, Willis began to say some corny remarks.
.
Willis Guy, you no notice something?
.
Ben What?
.
Willis This guy you blind o, don’t you see as Mrs. Evelyn was staring at you?
.
Ben Stop this nonsense talk.
.
Willis I’m telling you… She wants you and she’s not bad either, she may look quite old but her assets are still intact, and the good thing is her husband is gone, so no need for you both to feel guilty about having sex or cheating.
.
Ben Look, if you want to shag her, go ahead I don’t have time for such things.
.
Willie was right though, I didn’t know how long he knew but Mrs. Evelyn has a thing for me, she always gives me signals and green light but I pretended to be dumb to notice them, Mrs. Evelyn was a widow and a hot one at that, despite her age, she was still has a sexy figure, almost all of the guys in the photo studio fantasize about having s*x with her but there were afraid to approach her cause they were afraid of getting fired.
I don’t want to give in to her seductions, Women can’t be trusted, she might use this opportunity to manipulate or mess with me, as she wants and I don’t want that.
As soon as we reached the road, we all went our separate ways, I went home and so did Willis.
The day was exhausting and relaxing at home would do the trick, I couldn’t wait to fix myself something to eat once I reached home.
After some minutes, I finally reached home as I was about to go in, I was intercepted by my annoying neighbor, Cindy.
Cindy was the daughter of a cruel catholic Pastor, mr. Gabriel, our families knew each other so well that my mother wanted me to marry Cindy which I very much disagreed.
Her father was a pain in my ass when we lived in the same compound back in secondary school, he would always be spying at me at whatever I did and reported back to my father, who was very strict and a no nonsense man.
My father would always force me to be attending Mr. Gabriel’s church like it was the only church in the world…. I hated that mr. Gabriel as for Cindy she was worst than her father, she’s not only a gossip like her father but also a hypocrite, and an annoying bitch.
Fate was cruel to me when we both ended up as neighbors in the same compound, she would always be keeping an ear to listen to what I was doing…. What kind of person is this? And if I tried to warn her not to spy on me, she would go and report to my parents that I was engaged in a dubious act… What a bitch.
.
Cindy Benjamin my love… How’s work?
.
Ben Cindy leave me the fuck alone and stop calling me “your love”.
.
Cindy JESUS, that “fuck” is a satanic word, desist from it….
.
Ben Look, I don’t have your time.. I need to rest.
..
Cindy If you’re tired, let me help you.
.
Ben No, thank you… I don’t need your help I can manage.
.
I went into my room and shut the door right in her face, I went into my room and removed my clothes, Luckily NEPA had brought light, so I turned on my loud speakers to listen to some music.
I went to the kitchen, and cooked myself a nice delicious jollof rice with smoked fish, I went ro my fridge to see if there was anything cold to drink, I saw that I had three bottles of La casera left, so I took one and went to enjoy my meal.
After I gulped down my food and belched in satisfaction, I went to my Painting room to work on my paintings, I turned off the music so I could concentrate.
As I was half way painting a masterpiece, That b*tch Cindy began one of her pretentious prayers, she was shouting on top of her voice, banging her foot to the ground.. At first I tolerated her but later I could no longer stand her, I know prayers are very important but her was just too ridiculous, sometimes she would keep me all night awake listening to her annoying voice.
I went outside and banged hard on her door, it took a while, before she opened the door and when she did, she came our looking almost half naked.
.
Cindy Darling you knocked? Are you here to join me in prayer?
.
Ben WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?? CAN’T YOU PRAY IN SILENCE? YOU’RE DISTURBING ME!
.
Cindy Jesus… The devil has been influencing you!
.
Ben BTCH SHUT THE FCK UP! THERE’S NO DEVIL HERE, JUST US! EITHER YOU PRAY IN SILENCE OR SHUT YOUR MOUTH.
.
After that, she said nothing but stood watching me, i turned around and went back to my room, I waited to see if she would continue her prayers but she didn’t…
I thanked God and went back to my paintings, just when I was glad that Cindy had shut the hell up, A sound of cry broke the silence and it was getting loud.. Was the bitch crying?
.
MIRANDA
Celebrity life is so annoying and stressful, I wish this Celebrities would learn to be more honest and down to earth instead of being annoying pricks.
My name is Miranda Queen, I’m a nobody but an assistant to my annoying sister Tina Queen, she’s a popular actress and business entrepreneur and a model. She likes to sprout around like a peacock showing off her beauty.
Many guys are crazy about her but she’s turned them all down.
The reason why I’m her assistant is Because she’s too lousy and clumsy, I keep her in check and also watch after her so that nobody would try to scam her or hurt her.
But despite all that, she isn’t grateful for what I do, she always complains a lot and she does nothing except chat and hang out with Fake friends.
After all these hassle, I do get time for myself, when I’m alone, I work on my paintings and arts, I’m an art freak… I love anything that makes my think or catches my attention, Art is the only thing that I find interesting and amusing, The ones I like the most are the porn arts, I really love those… Don’t get me wrong I do love sex but just because I like it, doesn’t mean I’m an addicted sex maniac.
I have quite a collection, and the reason why I store them is because they have quite a value and can fetch a lot of money.
One Monday afternoon, as I was in my Art gallery, checking up porn Art collections in the internet, Tina bursted into my room, looking awfully sad as always. I wonder what’s wrong now?
.
Tina Oh why me lord? Why?
.
Miranda What is the matter?
.
Tina My photographer has gotten ill.
.
Miranda Pore guy…
.
Tina Poor guy? What about me? What about my photoshoot?
.
Miranda but you have weeks till your photo are taken and sent to the magazine editor.
.
Tina That’s not the problem! My problem is who will take my picture, who will make me look like a goddess and bring out my feminine charms, who will…
.
Miranda Easy, we can wait till your photographer is well.
.
Tina That’s the problem, I fired him…
.
Miranda What? Why?
.
Tina Why? He just sick, he’s no longer competent for the job..
.
Miranda Jesus, okay we’ll look for another one.
.
Tina But where? Where will we find another photographer?
.
Miranda Don’t worry, I’ll work on it.
.
Tina You’d better or else… I’ll fire you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with Jim ike this evening.
.
Tina walked out of the gallery shutting the door after her, That’s my sister, so self centered. I took a deep breath and concentrated on my work, My sister sure has it all, fame, loads of sexy men and riches… I wish I could get a man of my own, it would be better than being alone surrounded by my art collection.
