"Thanks for coming." She muttered as she sat close to him. "And welcome here, this is the first time you'd be entering into my apartment. " She smiled. "What should I offer you?" She asked."Nothing." He retorted. "Your apartment is beautiful and portable." He said as his eyes roam the small living room. "Can you get me something eatable?" He changed his mind when she shot him a glare."Something like what?" She asked again, almost regretting why she asked him what to offer - she wasn't ready to cook yet, but she'd cook anyway if he demanded for food."You always ask if I've eaten or not." He smiled sheepishly. "I haven't had anything to eat since yesterday cos I was anticipating today, I want to eat in your house." He said."What do you want to eat?" She asked."Anything you make for me, beautiful." He replied."You have to choose, Roshan." She smiled shyly.

Toba was in front of Abdullah Holding waiting patiently for Ben to close from work, he didn't tell her he was coming but somehow he felt she'd be excited to see him.She just closed from work, leaving Roshan behind, she walked slowly towards the gate. Hoping to get a cab when she gets to the garage.She greeted the gatemen that bothered to acknowledge her, she stepped out of the gate and immediately recognized Toba's car, she looked closely and saw him leaning beside the car."Oh my God!" She screamed and ran to where he was standing. "Toba!" She yelled his name happily."Big baby." He pulled her into a bear hug. "How have you been?" He asked."Been good, what happened? No calls, no texts, I thought you forgot about me." She told him."You did but I didn't." He rolled the car keys in his hands. "I traveled, I've not been in the country. Just got back two days ago and I dec

Sitting on the pavement and catching up on the lost moments in their lives was something Ben didn't plan to do anything soon but it was unavoidable in a situation like this.She had to give him time cos of old time's sake."How have you been after all these years?" He asked with a bright smile on his face."Very well and you?" She retorted."Been coping, were you posted here for NYSC?" He asked."Yes, I was." She replied him."And how has it been so far?" He asked again, Ben was getting bored already. The incessant questions he was asking was getting on her nerves.Can he just find something reasonable to talk about?"Been beautiful." She answered."Just like you." He smiled.Was he trying to flirt with her?"Annie told me about her cousin that was coming to stay with her

Traveling from Ekiti state down to Kano wasn't a friendly journey at all. It was tiring, butt-hurting and energy-consuming.Esther almost knelt down to give thanks when the bus finally arrived at bus stop in Kano. She hurried out of the car to stretch her already stiffened legs."This journey no be here." She whispered to the other passengers that were looking as tired as she was."Wallah." One of them whispered back.The driver sorted the luggage of each passenger. After everything was set down, the few ones that got acquainted with each other exchanged contacts and they dispersed afterwards.Esther picked her luggage and found a pole to lean on, she got one. She brought her sunglasses out and wore it on her eyes, the sun was blinding. She rummaged her bag to search for her phone, she brought it out and placed a call to the number Ben gave her to call on when she was in Kano.

It's been a long while she saw him, she couldn't hide the excitement that was set within her as she stood in front of the gate waiting patiently for him to pull up.She sighted his car from afar and hollered he drove to were she was standing."Tobiloba!" She yelled his name.He came out of the car and almost carried her, he missed her so much."Hey Annie, what's up?" He asked. "Been a while." He pulled her into a tight embrace.She smiled."I missed you." She told him."I did too. Are you ready?" He asked, he had told her to get ready, he wanted to go out with her."No, Tobiloba." She hid her face behind his head."Why?" He asked"I'm baking a cake for a client and she needs to collect it tomorrow morning." She explained. "It's still in the oven and I have to watch over it."So,
