"For once just try something to please me." She said. She can feel the tears pooling at the back of her eyes and she was trying not to yell at him.

          And his eyes soften. He brushed his forehead up to his hair with his hand and he stands up. He moved close to her.

"I'm sorry okay? I am sorry." He apologized sincerely.

          But she didn't say anything. She just looks away and quickly wipes away the tears that have almost fallen from her eyes.

"Fine. Do you have anywhere you can go to get whatever you want?" He asked calmly.

"Don't worry, I will just pick something." She said and she turned back to go look for the attendant.

          But he pulled her back gently.

"Common let's go." He urged her.

            She looked at him to see any trace of doubt but there wasn't. His face was filled with apology.

             She nodded and she lead the way while they leave the mall. She had gotten outside the mall when she remembered that she forgot her bag on the sofa where Demilade had sat.

          She groaned and Demilade looked her way.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I left my bag inside the mall." She said.

"Should I help you to get it?" He asked.

"No. I will get it myself. Thanks. I'll be back." And she quickly walked back inside the mall. She will hate it if something got missing inside her bag, especially her phone.

           But fortunately, she saw it where she had left it on the seat Demilade had stood up from. She picks up the bag and checks for the contents. There were still intact and her phone was also in them.

              So she went back outside the mall. Something caught her eye immediately after she came out of the mall. And she paused to watch the drama in front of her.

             The annoying lady that had come to Demilade house the day he was travelling was standing in front of Demilade. Too close in fact. And the way she was smiling and gesturing with her hand was making her blood boil.

           What made her madder was when she said something and then trace her fingers slowly on Demilade shoulder downward. She couldn't see Demilade face but with his bodily reaction, she can tell he wasn't so pleased too. Because he moved back slightly and looked away from her.

"Excuse me." Someone said behind her.

          She nodded an apology to the fat middle age woman who was trying to come out of the mall with big shopping bags in hand. "Sorry, ma." She whispered and she moved away from where she was standing to give her enough room to pass.

            She left where she stood and she went to where Demilade was standing beside his car.

"I'm back," Lola said excitedly staring ahead at Demilade, pretending she didn't see Yimika.

          Demilade quickly turned to face her when he heard her voice beside him. He felt relieved to see her. He had hoped she will come to his rescue on time. And fortunately, she had.

          She was smiling despite she had almost cried some minutes ago.

"Thank God everything is still intact. I was thinking I will lose the new phone you just bought for me." She pouted.
