To Love And To Hold

I gasp as the man from the audition leads me into the biggest and most furnished living room I have ever been in ln, I stare in admiration with my mouth wide open.
I have not always been too poor but I have not always been rich either, I ran away from the orphanage with my little sister when I was 14. When we were kids we had a big brother (so we called him), he was an orphan too but he was 21 and old enough to work and be on his own, we ran away to stay with him as we were already fond of him right from our childhood. He later died from an accident while working late, we were shattered and our rent was due in two months, I had no option but to venture into the darkest time of my life just so me and fiyin could survive, I was able to go through uni, fiyin was already in high school when we found out about her kidney problem, there was no way i was going back to that kind of life I said to myself, that was when u met kola, my knight in shining amour, he wasn't rich, he wasn't poor either but the little he had he was willing to share, I'm sure he got tired of sharing or maybe God was punishing me for my sins, fiyin got worse and the bills got higher, the battle got tougher but kola wasn't getting stronger, I was surprised when I went to his place and found out he had moved without a trace, I cried for days, called his number, always switched off, I lost my job because all I could do was sob, sob and mop around, a depressed employee was the last thing my company wanted, fiam I was gone the same way I came.
"You should never speak to Mr Akin Lewis, execpt he speaks to you" the man says jolting me out of my thoughts
"If you have anything to say to him, concerning the baby or the house call me " he adds dropping his business card on the table
I pick it up and read through "Mr Kenneth okonkwo " I say raised eyebrows
"He is igbo?" I think to myself, I study his face, he doesn't even look igbo, with his long pointed nose, Dark skin and fluent English, no nna and Nne, maybe I'm just used to razz igbo boys
He tries to make a call and I let my eyes feed on his body, muscular, broad shoulders and thin lips that never smile
"The baby, maam" he says handing me the cutest baby ever
"It's Derin and this baby is so cute " I say cooing at the baby
"Her name is emelda, this is the butler, he's here everyday but he leaves at 10"" he says pointing at a middle aged man
He bows slightly and I smile.
"He'll show you your room and around the house " he adds and leaves.
I breathe, I never even knew I was holding my breath
*************
I drop emelda gently in her cot and try to shower, it's been a long day and man, I can't wait to get into that bathroom .
I yawned and lay on the bed
"Derin, you will be fine " I say, thinking of fiyin in the hospital, I can't wait to get my first paycheck, so I can at least pay Dr Joy for the 3 months I am owing.
I hear the front door open
"Joro has gone home na, who could that be? " I say to my self as I don't the sign of the cross and go check who it might be

"Hi can I help you? " I say as I notice somebody back facing me and the other part facing the t.v
He turns slowly and I meet the most charming face ever, he smirks
"I guess you're the new baby sitter, Akin has taste sha " he says flashing a killer smile
"Yes I am" I answer ignoring the last part because honestly what do you say to that?
"I'm sorry your name sir? " I add wondering why Joro didn't tell me I would be having company
He flashes another killer smile and walks out
I hiss " stupid rich people "
I was just going back to my room when I heard a shout from out side
"My guyy!!" Mr charming says loudly, I peep from the window by the door and I see him hugging another person
"Omg, Mr Akin Lewis!!" I say loudly and run to my room
***********

I find an empty chair at the far end of the room , I walk toward it and sit close to the most beautiful girl in the world, I try to smile at her but the nasty look on her face is telling me to mind my business and sit down, I sit down with my chin resting on my hand wondering if I stand a chance at all with all this girls.
"I have no chance at all" I say to myself a little too loud, the girl beside me notice and shot me a "respect yourself look"
" hey you, come here please" a man says with an authoritative voice that is so frightening, I look up and notice he is pointing at me
"Me?" I ask pointing at myself, he probably thinks I'm a cleaner or something
"I'm here for the audition, I am not a cle....." I try to say but he walks away into a room before I could even finish, the girls chuckle and I hiss and walk into the room he walked into.
I enter the room and everybody in it is in suit, they all look like men except for one, I'm not sure she is a man but I'm not sure she is a woman either .
I swallow hard and say a quick prayer
"Good morning " I greet bowing my head a little, I laugh inside me at my nervousness
The woman-like man raises her head and leans back on her chair
'wow, she is a woman' I say to myself
" can you rock a baby to bed?" she asks with rolling her pen in her hand
The thing about me is when I am nervous I notice everything and I lose everything called sense in my head
" it depends if it's a real baby" I answer, I shake my head realising my stupid answer
"What do you mean real baby? Do people rock fake babies to bed"? A light skinned man ask
"How old are you sef?" another man adds
" I was thinking it was a movie audition and we were going to use a fake baby or something " I answer
"I'm 24 " I quickly add before they throw me out the window
The woman sighs and turns to the man who brought me in
"Why did you bring her in please? "
" she was the only responsible looking person out there " he answers looking at me pitifully
"Let me have your form" she says, I hand it over and stand there, scared to breathe and pretend to be invisible while they are going through the form
"I don't know how much I can hold my breath o, this people should answer " I think to myself
After few minutes and I have probably turned purple by now, she asks if I can keep secrets
"What now? Am I going to be a spy?" I say to myself
"Yes I can" I answer finally breathing
"Hmmmmmn" was the only reply I got
"Can I actually keep secrets" I think to myself, I remember in uni how everybody used to call me mamadee because I always had juicy stories about everybody, "no I cannot keep secrets o" I murmur inaudibly
"OK, sign here, you are going to be working for Akin Lewis, he has a new baby and he needs a baby sitter"l, you're going to have to move in with him, although he is out of the country right and won't be back for months " the man who brought me in says
Akin Lewis!!! My heart is doing flips right now, not that I am a fan but I'm going to be working for a famous actor!! .
**********
"You cannot even take care of yourself, now a baby? " deola says as she helps me pack
"I can learn, how hard can it be, the baby is 9months already " I say beaming with happiness
Deola pulls me in for a hug and we stay there for minutes
" just be fine, derin, get your life back and be fine " she says threatening to cry
"No crying oo, madam waterfall" I say zipping my last bag.
"Thank you for everything deola, you're more than a friend " I say putting my last bag in the taxi boot .
" i love you " she says as the taxi zooms off

**************
"Go for the audition" deola says for the tenth time today rolling her eyes and her hands on her waist. I would have laughed at her pose if I wasn't seriously thinking about going.
I am owing 4 months rent and I have a sick sister to take care of and instead of me rushing to the audition that deola suffered to get me a slot at, I am here thinking about kola that has moved on, I look at her and the look on her face shows concern but I am not sure what she is concerned about, me? Or the rent I'm owing her?.
"Hello, earth to derin" she says snapping her finger in my face
" you can wear your black body con gown that makes you look like Kim kardashain without the sex tape and of course the money " she adds pulling out her tongue
" ode, I'm not going sugar daddy or man hunting, it's an audition and I don't know what it's for sef " I say as I walk towards the bathroom to get ready for the audition.
" it's a classified audition, it's for the elites and de creme de la creme of the society, shey I told you what I did to get it, you should be licking my feet " she says as I enter the bathroom and zone her voice out
" blah blah blah " I say as I start to shower.
***********
" you look smashing , nicki minaj!!!" deola squeaks and try to adjust the gown
" I feel too dressed up " I say
"I don't even know what I'm auditioning for " I add and slump on our worn out couch
Deola holds my hands with a concerned loom on her face
" derin, please go and get your life back, I don't need a depressed best friend, I have tried for 5 months but I miss my mama dee, please don't ruin this for us " she says and squeezes my hands
I hug her and fight the tears that are threatening to fall
" God punish love and punish kola " I say and start to leave.
" break a leg!" I hear Deola say and I smile.
*************
I walk into the reception and I almost faint at the sight of the amount of girls here, I feel so intimidated and I am not sure my legs can function anymore, I take a deep breath and shake off whatever low self esteem I have. I walk over to the receptionist
" Hi, my name is Aderinsola Adams, I'm here for the audition" I don't even sound like me
She hands me a registration form, I fill and I'm surprised at how I can still write, I thought I lost myself when I lost kola.
I look around the reception again and I take a even deeper breath
" is everybody here for the audition? I ask hoping that she says no
"Yes they are, so get seated please, madam" she says and rolls her eyes
"All this receptionist and attitude " I mutter to myself as I find somewhere to seat
