"You got a good memory"
"I know. So tell me" She tapped Osas's hand eagerly. "Where did you guys meet?"

"What kind of movies do you watch?" YK asked paying the lady at the counter for the popcorn they bought.
"I love action movies. I am not really a fan of romantic movies. It's depends on my mood. I just love movies that are thrilling including crime movies" Lola replied.
"What lady does not like romantic movies?" He gave her a little smile.
"I did not say I do not like romantic movies. I said I am not just a fan of them and it depends on my mood"
YK known as Yinka was her new man. She met him few days ago and he had requested to go out with her. Why would she refuse when she would have fun in seeing him fall for her like every other man then shatter every fantasy he has for her?
He laughed. "I am a man but my sisters watch them. They seem pretty alright"
"You watch romantic movies?"
"No" He collected the chilled bottle of Fanta from the lady. "My sisters watch those movies. I am more into video games and football"
"I see" she nodded her head. "My brothers love them too. I play basketball" they turned away. "So we are watching black panther?"
"That's what we agreed on"
The popcorn Lola had in hand began to slip. She tried holding it with her hand and tried pushing it up in order for it to balance in her hold with the other hand that had a bottle of chilled Pepsi.
"My siblings won't allow me to hear the end of it especially the last three" Lola continued. "Sister Lola have you watched black panther. It has become a chant for the past few weeks"
"I heard it is interesting" they headed for the theatre.
"You have not seen it too?" she halted to look at him.
Her brown eyes with little amusement in them and the little rise of her eyebrows made her more mesmerising than she looked. YK was pleased. His heart swelled. It was an honour to spend some time with a woman like Lola Kola-Daisi. She had been the talk among him and his friends. Having her as his girlfriend will be so nice to flaunt but he heard about how she refuses men but he can always hope.
"At all" YK shook his head negatively.
"Then what are we waiting for" she tugged his arm.
He felt happy and special to know she enjoyed his company.
"Lola" a voice called. Lola froze at the familiar voice. Her breathing hitched. What the hell is he doing here? Both Lola and YK turned around to see Joshua.
"We meet again" she said, her eyebrow raised with the right hint of arrogance.
Joshua beamed even though the sight of another man with her wrenched his heart. She had her hand around the guy's arm. The guy was tall but not macho this time. Is he the kind of man that attract her? The displeased look in her eyes at the sight of him ruined his mood. He had a lady with him. The girl's hand hooked around his upper arm.
"I am surprised to see you" Lola said, her voice supple as always but this time softer. The edges of her painted lips expanded into a little smile. That look on her face was the kind any man would trip for.
"Same here. You are here to watch which movie?"
"Black Panther. YK" she turned to her date. "This is Joshua and Joshua, Yinka but call him YK"
