Christian returned to find out that Lanre was gone. He noticed K skipping out of the place. He asked K what happened but K did not say anything. Instead, K gave him a warning look. Christian thought about how quick it was for K to change. Was he going to lose his friend this way? He had gone to meet up with K when K left the table pretending he needed to ease himself. Somehow, he felt the need to tell K what was actually going on. But when he got to the convenience where K had gone to hide trying to calm himself, K welcomed him with a hostile look.
“Did you not see any other girl in the entire Lagos to screw with aside Lanre?” K had asked Christian. Christian laughed at how K was being defensive of Lanre but had not expected the blow he received from K.
“What was that for? F**K! You know I easily bleed from my nose”. Christian said holding his nose. K smirked. He warned Christian to stay away from Lanre. And also told him that Lanre would do better without him. So K had not listened to what he had come to say to him. And neither was K anymore friendly with him.
Christian pulled back his hand, and clearing his throat, he asked if they knew where Lanre went. Ify told him they were living in a digitally evolved world, he could always call the person he is looking for on phone.
Christian decided to call Lanre on phone but her phone was busy.
He decided to go look for her outside. He found Lanre standing right next to his car. She was on call. He held her waist.
“Without telling me?” He said his eyes not leaving hers which made her uncomfortable. She pulled his hand away from her waist. Then she told the person she was talking to over the phone that she would call when she finds the time to. Then she asked Christian why he held her waist the way he did taking her unaware.
“Why did you leave without notifying me where you were headed?” Lanre fired back. Christian smiled at her and apologised to her. He just wanted them to get over with any argument even before it begins.
“I could not stay there with that spoilt brat annoying me with her foolish talks”. Lanre said. Christian immediately knew it was Ify she was referring to. He opened the car for her to get in and then they left.
Christian abruptly stops the car along the road. Lanre asked him what happened. “I didn’t finish my food and I didn’t get to pack it”. Christian said. Lanre laughed shaking her head.
“You are funny! I will cook to compensate you”. Lanre said. Christian puts out his pinky finger asking telling her to promise she would keep her word. Lanre crossed it with hers telling him it was a promise. Then they drove off with Christian smiling all the while.
