She had the passion to drive, but she couldn’t drive.
She falls into the hands of Alex who she thought would teach her how to drive. Little did she know that he had other intentions towards her?

Alex needed a woman who he could use to satisfy his sexual feelings. So, when Anna told Andrew of her interest to learn how to drive, he quickly referred her to Alex. Jacob finds out that Alex had an affair with Anna who was his girlfriend.

Andrew (sits next to Annabel): Hey Annabel, what’s good? Been a long time we saw each other.

Annabel: I know right! I’m good, everything is alright. Good to see you too.

Andrew: How are studies? I heard your department has started Continuous Assessment Test.

Annabel: Yeah, studies are fine. As regards the Continuous Assessment Test, you know we follow the time-table of law school, so our scheme is faster than the other departments.

Andrew: I know.
What do you do for fun?

Annabel: I press my phone all day.

(They both laugh, and then have nothing to say. Annabel goes back to her phone. Andrew breaks the silence…)

Andrew: Don’t you have interest in anything?

Annabel: Well… I do. I have interest in driving, but I don’t know how to drive.

Andrew: oh! That’s cool. I would love to teach you, but I don’t own a car. How about I link you up with a friend of mine?

Annabel: Are you serious? Wow! (Stands up to give Andrew a hug) thank you so much. 

Andrew (dials Alex’s number): Hey man, what’s up? 

Alex’s voice (coming through the phone): I’m alright bro, hope no problem?

Andrew: No bro. A friend of mine wants to learn how to drive. Would you spare time to teach her when she’s ready?

Alex’s voice: Sure bro! I gat you.

Andrew: Aright man. I would give her your contact to hit you up when she’s ready.

Alex’s voice: Sure.
Stay safe.

(Alex hangs up the phone)

Andrew: Check your whatsapp (picks up his phone to send the number). Text or call him later.

 Annabel (stands up to leave): Thank you so much.

(They both exchange hugs)

Annabel: I am Emmanuel Annabel; I am a student of the Faculty of Law. I hail from Mbano LGA of Imo state. I am the last of four children. I am a Christian. I love pressing my phone (chuckles).

Alex (nods in excitement): That’s impressive I must say. Nice meeting you.

Annabel: Thank you.
Nice meeting you too.

Alex: So, let’s get ready for the day’s activities.

(Alex gets dressed and they both leave the house for a drive).

(Lights out)

(Lights up in Jacob’s apartment. Jacob was out for some work. Annabel is lying on the bed and feeling bored….. Annabel takes her phone and dial Jacob’s number.)

Annabel: Hello babe. What’s up? I just called to let you know I’ll be going out soon.

Jacob: Okay. Where are you going and how long would you be out?

Annabel: I want to go see a friend. I wouldn’t stay out for long.

Jacob: Alright. Don’t forget to lock the house properly and don’t stay long.

 

Annabel: I won’t. Bye.
I love you. (She hangs up the phone).

(Annabel leaves for Alex’s house. She had informed him earlier that she’ll be coming over).

(Lights out)

(Annabel and Alex is seen driving round town. They return to Alex’s house after about five minutes drive.)

 Alex: I must say. You are very amazing.
Within a space of five days you learnt how to drive perfectly.

Annabel: Thank you! It’s something I’ve always wanted to learn, so I had to put in my all.

Alex: Great! Well, there’s something I’d like to tell you. 

Annabel: I’m all ears (wondering what it could be).

Alex: You’re like the coolest girl ever! I really like you. 

Annabel: I like you too- you’re all kinds of pretty.

(Silence as both stare at each other. Alex moves closer to Annabel and they could feel the contact of their skin).

Annabel (breaks the silence): I really like you. That’s all, I have a boyfriend and I wouldn’t want to hurt him.

Alex: Does it matter? Just do this once and I promise never to disturb you?

(Alex placed a kiss on her lips as the back of his fingers caressed her cheeks. She slowly smiled. They shared a very long, passionate kiss and soon they were under the covers).

(Lights out)

(Jacob’s apartment It was a hot Thursday afternoon, they returned from school after a manic day. Anna entered the kitchen to fix something for them to eat. The events of all that transpired at Alex’s place about twenty-two hours ago were still fresh in her head. Jacob was suspicious when she returned last night. He said she smelt different.
Anna knew what he was driving at, but she waved it.

 

Jacob was with Anna’s phone and he was disturbed. He felt the need to go through her messages; maybe he could find something there.

He was scrolling through her whatsapp and he saw she had a recent conversation with Alex. She mentioned last night that she went to see Alex. He opened the conversation and found out that Anna and Alex had an affair.

He was furious. He called out to Anna and ordered her to stop what she was doing. Anna trembled in fear. What if he had found out? She murmured).

Anna: Babe! You called.

Jacob: Don’t babe me (pause) how could you? Why did you have to do it? (He slams the door).

Anna: What are you talking about? (Pretending not to know what he was talking about).

Jacob: Oh please! Don’t pretend or act like you don’t know what I’m saying.
What happened at Alex’s place yesterday?

Anna: (heaved a long sigh): well… what actually happened (she began to stutter).

Jacob: I don’t think you have anything to say to prove yourself right. You did it willingly. Unless you have cooked up lies. Who knows? You might have plans but didn’t expect me to find out sooner. My instincts were right after all! I’m sorry to say, but I can no longer continue with this relationship. You’ve betrayed my trust. Only God knows how long this has been going on. Well, it’s over now. You can do as you please.

Anna (sobbing): Babe, I’m sorry.
I can explain. Please just hear me out.

Jacob: keep your explanations to yourself. I’m done.

(Jacob walks out on her while Anna continued crying)

(Lights out)
