“What’s smelling so badly! Do you want to poison him! Yuck!” Cindy laughed at Becky.

Becky frowned de-eply and glanced down inside her pot.
She had been trying to mix the recipes for fried rice but she ended up cooking pepper rice.

She glanced over at Cindy. She was ma-king groundnut soup and pounded yam and it smelled so nice.

If she, Becky would lose,then someone else will have to. Hmm!! Becky said in her heart as she watched Cindy in anger.

An hour later,the cooking was done. Becky was the first to serve her dish. All the time, Becky made pas-ses at Arnold, ex-posing her pri-vate p@rts to him just to make him lose concentration on the food but it wasn’t working.

Arnold was enjoying the view of her b©dy but yet,he had this crazy hatred for her alre-ady. He would tell Gerald not to even make the mistake of picking her. She behaves totally like a dog.
“So,what did you make?” Arnold asked to Becky’s disappointment.

” Oh..it… it’s… fried rice.” Becky responded.

” Wow. Alright. Open it..let me see what you’ve done ” Arnold said.

Breathing out,Becky opened the covered chinaware and a foul smell of pepper drifted into the hair.

Arnold’s brow knotted as he perceived the smell. “You sure this is good?” He asked, taking up a spoon.”

” Y….yesss…” Becky stammered and closed her eyes shut as Arnold had his first taste.

The power and the loud scream that erupted from his mouth made her eyes fly open again.

“Jesus! Jesus!!” Arnold shouted, pouring himself water as he gulped down a whole jug.

“What is it!!” Becky asked, looking desperately at him.

Arnold sh0t her a glance as he stuck out his ton-gue and fanned it with his hand.

“You are still asking me what is it!! You are asking me what is it when you gave me pepper rice in the fv¢king name of fried rice!!!! Take this away!!” Arnold yelled.

Cindy laughed so ha-rd her ribcage hurt. ” I warned you! You must be a killer!, Gosh. Imagine giving my own husband raw pepper to eat. Nons-en-se. Just wait and watch him enjoy my meal.

Learn,loser.” Cindy laughed as she carried her tray of food and walked out.

Behind her,Becky smiled evilly and bur-sted into laughter.

“Oh,so sorry dear. She must have had it in mind to pu-ll you with pepper. Can you imagine!” Cindy said as she served the groundnut soup into a plate.

Arnold was still recovering from the pepper.
He looked at the food in front of him. It looked nice and the aroma was great.

Arnold had the confidence that this would be better.
Such a bad cook. I almost coll@psed.

Wow, this looks good. You made this?” Arnold asked, l!çk!ng hisl-ips and taking a handful of the pounded yam. He li-cked hisl-ips again and di-pped one full morsel into the soup.

Bringing it up,he threw it straight into his mouth only for him to spit it back into the plate with the loudest scream than before.
Cindy was shocked at the outbur-st and reaction. “What is it!

What is it!” She shouted but Arnold wasn’t getting himself any better. He kept screaming and drinking water,jug after jug until he thought he would die.

He thought he just ate a live pepper!

When Cindy tasted her food,she screamed and spitted it out. The pepper in it would cook a whole full bag of rice.

Breathing heavily like a mad dog,Cindy let out one strangled scream.

“Becky!!!!” She cried and ran back into the kitchen.

_______👱
What evidence do you have against me! What evidence do you have that I was the one who pour a bag of pepper inside your stupid groundnut soup?” Becky queried.

They were both standing in front of aunt Linda.

“It was you! It was you who did it! I tasted the food. I couldn’t have poured so much pepper inside it. I’m not a killer like you!” Cindy shouted.

” Girls,do you want to get disqualified?” Aunt Linda asked.
“No! No Aunt Linda! It was actually a mistake. It must have been a mistake.” Cindy pleaded.

” En en. Mistakes can happen just like mine….”

” Yours wasn’t a mistake,you killer cook!” Cindy shouted again, cutting Becky shut

” St©p it Cindy! Any more words from you,I’m going to get you disqualified!” Aunt Linda chidded.

“I’m sorry but…”

” Shh.” Aunt Linda shut her up before standing up. ” You guys have shown your cooking skills.

Tommorow,it will be Natasha and Maria’s turn to cook.” With that,Aunt Linda left the living room.

Cindy immediately turned to face Becky with tears in her eyes.

“I’m gonna so much deal with you. I will make sure you don’t win this.

keep doing everything you can but you will never win! I promise you.” She rushed out of the living room, heartbroken.
Becky laughed out loud and hissed loudly before walking out.

__________👸

“How are the girls doing? Anyone you can recommend yet?” Gerald asked, sitting on Arnold’s be-d.

Arnold shook his head. ” Wait,I will tell you.” He answered, sitting on a chair beside the window.

He laughed first. “Look,girls can be so dramatic. I’m sorry to tell you this but I’ve sle-pt with one of them.
Wait. Before you condemn me,let me tell you what happened. She’s a desperate babe.

You should have seen the way she walked n-kedly into this room.

God. This one will jump into any man’s be-d! She’s….”

” I Know who you are talking about. Becky.” Gerald interrupted.
“Oh,you’ve noticed her too. As for her, she’s out of the question.” Arnold said.

Gerald breathed in. ” What’s the next line of action?” He asked.

“Well, you should be asking aunt Linda. She has everything un-der control. You don’t nee-d to worry. Just stay at your duty post,man.” Arnold laughed.

” j£rk.” Gerald stood up from be-d and left the room.
Immediately he opened the door,he see Cindy sneaking up the stairs.

He stared down at her. Cindy was a little but startled to see him. What a gate man doing inside the house at this time of the night? She asked herself.

She c@m£ up to the landing and cleared her throat. “What are you doing here so late in the night?”

“I should be asking you the same question. What were you doing here so late in the night?” Gerald threw back.

“How dare you! How dare you talk back at me like that,you common gate man? Oh my goodness,I can’t believe this!” Cindy ranted.

” You had better not raise your voice too high else you will have to explain what you were doing here in front of this room at this time of the night.” Gerald said to her before walking away.

He stared back at her as he descended the stairs, shaking his head.

“I don’t blame you. Fool.” Cindy hissed. She rearranged herself and knocked at the door.

“Who’s there?” Arnold asked from inside. He was changing his clothes for the night.

“It’s me Cindy. I’m here for the night..just to make you happy.” Cindy said to Arnold’s hearing. Just then,his phone rang on t©p of the be-d. He picked it up.
“Gerald.”

“Yes,it’s me. s£nd that girl back to her room immediately. I saw her coming inside your room. s£nd her back right now.” Gerald said and cut the call.

Arnold dropped his phone back on the be-d and opened the door. He stood on the way.

“Let me in. I’m here to kill your boredom.” Cindy said se-ductively.

” Boredom? I never mentioned being bored to you, did I?” Arnold asked.

Cindy wondered why he was blocking the way. “At least let me in first. It’s cold here.” Cindy said trying to push past her but Arnold would not give her a chance.

“I’m sorry you can’t come in. This is not p@rt of the competition at least,not now. It might happen later but not now. You will have to go back to your room before I will disqualify you.

Cindy was surprised. “Are you kidding me right now? Then why did you allowed Becky in the othee night? Why? Yes. I saw you guys…in a very h0t S-x.” Cindy said.

Arnold felt like sl@pping her. ” Are you okay? How dare you!” He fired at her.

Cindy quic-kly recoiled. ” I’m … sorry…”

” Then get lost. I’m not a S-x contractor. I’m a man looking for true love. Not S-x machine.” With that,he closed the door at her face.

Cindy was both mad and ashamed. Quietly,she walked back downstairs.

Immediately she c@m£ inside, Becky’s laughter almost made her heart jump into her stomach.

She fli-ckered the lights on and was surprised to see Becky fully awake on her be-d.

“Guess he did not even open the door for you?” Becky mocked, staring up and down at her.

” What ..are you talking about?” Cindy fumed, walking quic-kly to get be-d.

” Arnold of course. I knew when you opened the door and sli-pped out. You are such a cheap bit-ch, aren’t you?” Becky asked.

Cindy was beginning to boil with a running over anger. She sat up in be-d with a warning look..”For the last time,witch! Don’t you dare talk to me!!” Cindy shouted at her.

Becky laughed again. “You must be so ashamed of yourself.

How on earth did you think Arnold was going to open the door for you and let you come in after what I’ve made him feel?
Use your head,bad cook.” Becky mocked and laughed again before laying back down.

“We shall see!” Cindy raved and l@ydown, boiling with hatred and anger.

 

 

#Episode 4

💟💟💟💟💟💟💞💞💟💞💞💟💞💟💞💟
Very early the next morning, Natasha woke up and started cleaning the whole house. She cleaned the living rooms and almost all the spare be-drooms. She changed the hallway curtains and dusted the blinds.

Gerald c@m£ out of the gate house to use the back garden loo when he saw Natasha, cleaning the main entrance landing with a mopping stick.

He stood, watching her. Since the girls arrived,none of them had tried cleaning anywhere or anything.

Unknown to them,it was p@rt if the competition but a secret. Only the wife material would be able to find it out and now, he’s looking at Natasha who’s working with a lot of zeal.

Natasha turned around as she carried her bucket so she would dispose the water when she saw Gerald. She looked at him and walked towards him.

“Good morning. You are up early.” Natasha said kindly.

Gerald looked at her and nodded. ” Yes. I can see you were up early too. Well done with your work. You are doing a nice work.” Gerald acknowledged.

Natasha smiled. ” Oh come on,I’m.a woman. It’s only natural I do it. Well, today’s our own turn for cooking. I hope to do well although I don’t really care if I win or not.” Natasha said.

” Why? You sound like someone losing hope. Don’t you believe in yourself?” Gerald asked.

Natasha looked up at him and dropped the bucket. “Of course I do. I just don’t want to get hurt again by engaging in another man…not after what Dave did to me.

I’m just here… hoping I will find love again but I don’t think it’s working. I don’t see myself falling in love with Arnold. Other girls are trying to get his attention but not me. I don’t just know what to do. I might end up losing.” Natasha said and breathed in.

Gerald found himself looking at her and smiling slightly. “Hmm. Interesting.”

“What’s interesting?, Hey,why are you smiling? n@ûghty boy. Don’t think I can’t hit you again.” Natasha said, picked up her bucket and walked away.

Gerald stared at her as she left and laughed at the way she waved her hair and walk sharply.

“Oh, before I forget. I want you to be the first person to taste my food after I’m done. You must judge wisely!” With that, Natasha went back inside, leaving Gerald thinking about her.

About eight that same morning, Natasha and Maria took their bath got dressed and went to the kitchen.

Aunt Linda welcomed them with a smile. “So,it’s your turn today and I wish you girls luck.” She said and left after giving them all the ingredients they want for the cooking.

“Yes oh. We don come. Abeg,Nathy…I no want disturbance. Face your work. You dey here me so?” Maria threw at Natasha who was busy rinsing her pot.

Natasha looked up from whet she was doing and smiled. ” I should be telling you that. Talkative.”

Maria laughed. She sliced some onions down and smashed some pepper, getting re-ady for the ugwu leaf on fire.

She was going to make rice and ugwu stew,one or the best food she was good at preparing.

Natasha was going to make jollof rice and spicy stew as a plus.
She put in all her best.

In less than Thirty minutes,the whole house was smelling so great.

“Chai,my dear Arnold go enjoy this one tire.” Maria boasted as she served the food inside a clean large plate.

She was chos£n as the first to serve. Maria was surprised to see Arnold alre-ady waiting at the dinning with a watery mouth.
“An an,na so the hunger take hold you!” Maria laughed.

Arnold laughed back. Anytime he saw Maria,his spirit was always lifted.

She had this cleaver humor about her that marvelled him a great deal although she’s local.

“I hope you made something great?” Arnold said, l!çk!ng hisl-ips alre-ady.

He had this strong feeling that the food would taste like heaven and that was what happened.

One taste of Maria’s food, Arnold couldn’t st©p till he emptied the plate. He even li-cked his hands dry.

“Jesus Christ!” How did you get to cook so well!” Arnold exclaimed.

Maria blu-shed. ” Na we-ttin I learn very well na. Shey you like am?”

” Like am?? Infact I love am!!”Arnold said and laughed. Just then, Natasha arrived with her own food.

She placed it on the dinning but got the disappointment of her life.

“Take it away for now plea-se. I just had a wonderful meal. My belly is full.you. I will eat it later!” Arnold said happily not knowing he was really hurting Natasha.

Does it mean all her ha-rd work was in vein? “But….you have to eat something out of it…”

“plea-se take it away. I’m full.” Arnold said more sternly.
Natasha could not believe it as she packed the dishes back into the tray and turned away.

Arnold was so happily charring with Maria over her food and praising her endlessly.

Natasha did not know what to do with the food she served. She carried it outside and walked towards the gate house.

She knocked twice and the door was opened as Gerald stared at her, surprised at the sad look in her eyes.

“I just finished cooking for him right now…but…he did not even taste it. plea-se..can I come in..at least…eat out of it so I won’t be completely disappointed. plea-se?” Natasha pleaded, staring at him with large watery eyes.

Gerald finally smiled and stepped aside, inviting her inside.

Natasha smiled as she watched him eat. It was so obvious he was enjoying the food.

“Wow. This tastes good. You made this?” Gerald asked. He was so impressed with her.

“Yeah. I took my time in preparing that, you know.” Natasha said smiling.

She watched Gerald closely. Something about him gave her a strange feeling. He looked more than a gate man.
His accent was so rich and great.

She decided to ask him a question. “Why did you choose to become a gate man? Like… I mean… You could have gotten a better job. ” Natasha said.

Gerald st©pped eating to study her. He smiled. “So, dose that make me a lesser guy?

As in…. Does it st©p me from getting a woman of my choice and ma-king it in life? ”

Natasha laughed. ” Of course not. You are handsome. Everyone woman would fall for your looks. ”

” Hmm? Like this woman here… In front of me? ” Gerald asked.
Natasha blu-shed. ” Yeah.. like this woman in front of you.”

Natasha said and laughed. She stood up and quic-kly left the room.

Gerald could not believe his ears. He laughed and shrugged. Hope he isn’t falling for her right now?
