Labake had an exhausted look on her face. First Prince Osa just asked her out on an impromptu date now her mom is questioning her about who she was on the phone with.
"It was no one mom. Gosh!"
"Okay o, I won't be the nosy mom, but I know you have a date." Her mother smiled.
"Yea yea... you always figure things out." Labake smiled and shook her head.
With that they put aside the topic and talked about people back home and how the nation was doing all the way to her house. Labake was always interested in discussing the progress of the nation so much that people teased that she should run for office in Nigeria.

Prince Osa couldn't believe it. He had just made dinner plans with Labake. Now he was really going to find out if a relationship is worth pursuing between the two of them. At least this last conversation wasn't too bad even though she still pulled the "not interested in you" move which is every Nigerian girl's M.O. Should he buy her a gift or would that be too much? Especially since he's not yet familiar with her personality. She may not appreciate his gift and think he is just showing off. The last time he did that the lady accepted the gift but eventually walked out on him. Just at that moment, his cell phone rang.
"Hello?" He realized he hadn't looked at the caller ID and that his voice sounded gruff.
"My guy are you alright? Na sleep you dey sleep?"
It was Obinna his friend from his university days at Oxford.
"Obinna it's you. Abeg no vex. How you dey now?"
"I dey o. Body dey inside clothe. What's going on now? It's been a while since we spoke."
"Yes it has. I'm just trying to wrap up business on this end."
"Are those people really on board to invest in Naija?"
"My guy, dem get choice?" They both laughed.
"So we must celebrate then. When are you getting back to this side?"
"It'll be in another week. Got some personal business to take care of."
"Hmmm I trust you. You don find a babe no be so?"
"You should know now. Actually, I'll be flying down to see her. It was Toke that told me about her."
"Cool cool. Anyhow let me know how it goes with the babe o. But we're still on for celebrating right?"
"Definitely."
"Alright my guy, make we talk later."
"Later."
Prince Osa shook his head and smiled as he hung with Obinna. He really needs to get back to work.
