"Naomi baby," Freddy called out to me.

I was shocked by the sudden name and just cocked a brow.

"How should a normal person with a kind heart feel after a breakup?"

"Erm...." I shrugged. "Sad!"

"Hmmm..." he mumbled and bit out of the fried chicken leg he held. "I'm not normal then".

I burst out into a fit of laughter. Everyone in the restaurant snapped their heads at my direction. "Sorry!" I waved at the unexpected audience I got.

"Why are you laughing?" he pouted and bit out of it again. He was literally eating like a caveman. "Do you think I should order ice cream? Maybe I won't look too heartless since I am celebrating my breakup".

I couldn't help it. I held my belly and fell to my knees. The laughter was too overwhelming.

"Stop laughing, baby! It is making me feel bad. I just want to celebrate my freedom. I'm a free bird now," he chuckled. Then, his brows shot up. "I should tell my guys. They need to know".

"That you are a free bird and you can flap your wings and fly?" I chuckled and sat down on my chair.

"Yes, baby! I can flap my wings and fly," he chuckled. Then, he sighed. "But.... I feel guilty that I hurt Kate that way. She is a good person".

I just let out a small cough. "G..g...good person?" I forced out.

"Yeah! She can be sweet and nice when she chooses to be"

"Yeah! Her acting skill is top notch," I mumbled.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing!" I smiled.

"I might feel guilty about hurting her feelings but I love my freedom," he said and sipped out of his soft drink. "Aren't you going to eat? We need to celebrate".

I nodded.

"Let me get your food," he rose from his chair, wiped his oily hands and walked to the counter.

I am still stunned though. The moment Freddy broke up with Kate, he left the hotel with me trailing behind. He was in the worst mood ever. His narrowed eyes could cause a storm anytime. However, when we got to the restaurant and his tray of food was placed in front of him, his mood changed. There was a smile on his features and he began to celebrate his freedom. He ordered jollof rice with a large fried chicken leg. A soft drink was set beside him and he just ate to his heart content while I sat watching him with a smile on my face.

Later, Freddy returned with a tray in his hand. He set it in front of me and said, "Enjoy, babygirl!"

I chuckled. When my eyes fell on the food, I began to salivate. White rice and chicken pepper soup! I gasped.

"How did you know?" I exclaimed.

"No what?" he sat down and waved to a waiter. "Can you get a cold drink for her?"

The waiter nodded and left.

"How did you know that this is what I was craving?"

His eyes lit up. "I just guessed. Did I really guess well?"
