Episode 39

Dantenimu and Funmike walked into the Millenium Park on his twenty-nigth birthday carrying a mat, food flask, a small cooler of drinks and a pack of candy. It was her fifth day in Abuja, yet, she hated the weather. How was she going to cope when she finally relocated to the city?

He spread the mat under a tree and arranged the food flask and the cooler at the edge. She sat down and placed the candy on the flask. He settled down beside her and held her by the waist.

“What do you think?” he grinned from ear to ear. She stared at him and giggled. His happy disposition was contagious.

“The park is quite big.”

“It is massive,” his dark eyes twinkled.

“True.”

“Yahuza Suya Spot is our next point of call.”

She beamed, “I have heard of their delicious grilled chicken and meat.”

“One taste and you are hooked,” he winked at her.

“I can’t wait,” her head bobbed.

“From there we will set off to the Galleria and relax with a movie.”
“I like your plans.”

Eyes locked. He leaned over and kissed her.
