“You look very familiar” the man said and Ibukun hitched closer to Ibukun.
“I told you not to underestimate your popularity” Ibukun whispered and Lashe playfully pushed her face away.

“I know but your face looks very familiar” the man said as he wrapped up their suya for them. Lashe collected it and paid for it before pulling Ibukun.
“Let’s go” Lashe said as they walked away. The suya man frowned as Lashe had disappeared into a distance.
“Isn’t he that teen singer named Lashe?” the suya man asked no one in particular.
Ibukun watched as Lashe slumped on the ground and brought out the suya sticks. She smiled before she sat down beside him. Lashe turned to her and handed her a suya stick.
“This is for you” Lashe said and Ibukun smiled as she collected it.

Ibukun and Lashe held hands as they waited by the side of the road. Lashe was holding her hands tightly with his second hand in his pocket as he looked around for taxis.“Since when have you liked me?” Ibukun asked and Lashe turned to her as he threw his head backwards as if thinking.“I’m not sure” Lashe replied as he slowly squeezed her hand.“What about you?” Lashe asked and Ibukun wore a big smile as she stared at him.“It’s been a while.

“Ibukun, I’m suspecting you” Fikayo said and Ibukun turned to her with a smile.“Suspecting me? Why?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo folded her arms.“This one of the reasons. I just said that I’m suspecting you and you are still smiling. What’s funny? Why are you smiling?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun and Blessing burst into laughter.“So because I’m smiling that’s why you are suspecting me?” Ibukun asked and Fikayo scoffed.“Of course not. I’m suspecting you because you have been smiling too much for a while, you smile when you writing, you smile when you are eating, you smile when you talk. I don’t understand what must have happened to you for you to start smiling like that” Fikayo replied as she yawned.“It’s time to confess, what’s going on?” Fikayo asked and Ibukun burst into laughter.“There’s nothing going on darling. Just get infected by my happiness and stop suspecting me” Ibukun replied and Fikayo sneered at her.“I’ll find out what you are h
