“Come on mom,do I really need to go to Nigeria of all places.” Tyler said a last ditch effort to save himself the stress of traveling and living for two months in a country he had heard so much about most of which were nothing to write home about.
“ I thought we've been through this Tyler”Mrs.kelechi an average in height woman with a sophisticated look and an appearance that made her look younger than her age said“the deal is simple if you want this role then you have to go to Nigeria and learn how Nigerians behave and who knows you might even get yourself a girlfriend”.
“if I needed a girlfriend I could easily pick someone from here and am a natural mom I could just do some research on these and I'll be good”
“ I am not really in a mood for arguments Tyler, make up your mind or I'll find another actor do play the role”Mrs.kelechi said standing up to leave.
“ fine mom I'll go but for one month” Tyler said submissively.
“good boy”Mrs.kelechi said a triumphant smile playing on her lips“ now go get those luggages from my room and the driver will load them into the limo we're five minutes behind schedule” she concluded in a proud triumphant tone.
“wait... when did you pack my luggages, and how did you know I was going to agree ..mother fucker!”.
“ you said something?”Mrs.Kelechi asked turning around.
“ No, of course not ”Tyler said glad his mom didn't hear him.
“ I thought as much”Mrs. Kelechi said making a face“now get into the car”.
“yes ma'am”Tyler said getting into the limo.
“ driver take us to John F. Kennedy airport” Mrs.kelechi said dialing some numbers on her Phone.
“yes ma'am”the driver replied kicking the car into motion and drove off.
“who are you calling?” Tyler asked peering into the phone .
“the planes technical team” Mrs.Kelechi said as the person from the other end picked up the phone.
“hope the plane is ready for take off”
“yes ma,we just need to conclude the routine check and ensure that everything is in good shape for take off ”.
“alright, I will see you at the airport” Mrs.Kelechi said and ended the call.
After a ten minutes drive the car pulled up at the car pack of the John F Kennedy international airport and Mrs.kelechi and Tyler climed down from the car while the driver carried the luggages to the private jet.
“what are you doing?” Mrs.Kelechi asked as Tyler put on a black cap and a nose mask.
“ nothing, just trying to disguise myself ,I don't need any obsessed fan coming over here ” Tyler replied and walked off towards the plane while the mother smiled and followed.
“hey!”Tyler heard a voice call from behind and he turned to see a girl about the same age as him walking up to him.
“what do you want”.
“an autograph, I've been dying to meet you”
“and why will you want my autograph” Tyler said as he continued walking towards the car while the lady kept up the pace.
“ am a big fan of your work and I can easily tell it's you the cap and the mask is not really doing a good work in hiding your identity plus am gonna scream if you don't do it and a crowd will gather”
“fine” Tyler said and took the marker the girl was holding and taking off his cap signed it and gave it to the girl who skipped off in excitement to tell her friends who she just met.
“what happened to the cap” mrsss.kelechi asked as they walked up the red carpet into the plane “it seems it didn't do a good job of hiding your identity”Mrs.kelechi added .
“what can I say?,my aura is just to much ”Tyler said cynically slumping into one of the chairs.
“ I am going to take a nap , didn't sleep last night because I was planing your trip”Mrs.kelechi said moving into the bedroom.
“ I'll take a nap as well I don't want to imagine how horrible living in Nigeria will be” Tyler said lying down on the couch and before one could say jack Robinson he fell into a deep sleep and only woke up when the voice of the announcer at the murtala Mohammed international airport Lagos was welcoming all the planes arriving at the airport.
“damn , we're in Nigeria already” Tyler said rubbing sleep off his eyes.
“yep!!!”his mother said standing over him
“so who am I staying with”
“nobody you'll live in your own house but you will have a caretaker to make sure you don't mess things up,now get down from the pane I won't like to keep your ride waiting ”Mrs.kelechi said dragging him down from the plane after which he carried his luggage to the returnees area where does who would pick them up where waiting.
“Tyler right” a male voice said from behind him and he looked up to see a well built guy.
“yeah any problem”
“am your driver let's go and I hope you don't mind if I get your autograph”
“no of course not”tyler said entering into the Tesla cyber trunk the guy had come with glad no one else recognized him.
“are you supposed to be the caretaker ”
“no am Gerald am going to be your right hand man”
“did mom employ you” Tyler asked wondering how his mum chose a bad boy like that.
“nah, she contacted my agency and I was picked for the job and about that autograph..”
“yeah I'll sign it for you you can even get hundreds of it if you agree to cut me some slacks”
“who is talking about slacks ,I look forward to working with you men it's not every day that you bump into a teen legend actor”.
“ I like this guy”Tyler said and Gerald smiled as the car pulled up in front of a beautiful looking duplex.
“welcome to your humble abode ”Gerald said and try to open the door for Tyler who quickly got it and opened it himself .
“ man can you stop trying to treat me like your boss let's be friends” Tyler said and walked into the house as Gerald followed surprised at Tyler's nice behavior unlike what rumors said.
“what the is it ?”Tyler asked Gerald.
“seven PM ”
“good evening Tyler welcome to Nigeria am mrs.sanders your mom's friend and also your caretaker”
“are you going to be living here with me”
“of course”.
“buzz killer”Tyler said and walked up to his room.
“are you going to have dinner”
“no thank you” Tyler who was already up the stairs shouted and entered his room and bringing out his phone tweeted that he was in Nigeria and crazy fans started liking the tweet while those in Nigeria started asking for the location ignoring them he entered Snapchat and started chatting with his online girlfriend from Chicago till it was late in the night after which he slept off...
