"Stop doing what?" He questions playing dumb.

"You need to stop glaring at people just because they are looking at us. She said quietly so that no one will overhear their conversation.

"No they are not looking at us. They are looking at you. And you don't except me to do nothing... With you looking like that" he said pulling my chair closer towards me.

I smile. This guy can never change. Even after bearing his last name and giving him a son, he still thinks there is a force out there willing to take me away from him.

I smile running my fingers through his clean shaved jaw. I preferred it that way.

"Hmm! Mr and Mrs Cole!" I look up to see Prince and Folahami grinning down at us. I smile at the familiar faces, am sure they just arrive.

"Aremo! The Future King!" Shubomi teased as we both stood up as they exchanged that their weird handshake they invented since SJC. "Bamz!" He laughed as they hugged.

"My oh my!" I rolled my eyes at his antics as he wolf whistled. Trust Aremo to take things out of proportion. "Teniola Cole, you look dashing!" He exclaimed as I laughed, we hugged.

"Don't start that here Adeolu" I said while hugging Bamz.

"I'm not starting anything o...our wife-"

"Who is your wife?" Shubomi glared at him.

I shook my head at their banter as I exchange greetings with Folahami.

"How are you?" I ask him.

We have all changed over the years.

"Oh i'm okay..business is booming" he shrugged taking a sip from his drink. "I can see Shubomi is really taking good care of you. Who could ever tell you are a mother of one?" He teased making me giggle.

Why is everyone saying that? i'm the one taking care of the big baby.

"Stop.." I wave him off.

"I'm serious, i'm happy for you guys. Who would have ever thought that Shubbie would be the first person to get married among us?  My votes was on Femi or even Tokunbo"

"God works in mysterious ways" I said.

Soon Tomi arrived for the occasion and can I say she looks stunning! She was not that skinny, little Tomi back in secondary school. This new Tomi was thick in all the right places. Her stance commands respect and intelligence.

"I'm still mad at you for not coming for my wedding" I said glaring at Femi, all my friends were present expect him.

"And I said i am sorry, we had a big game coming up so I was not given the opportunity. I sent my gifts and blessings and it has been years Teni, you can't stay mad at me forever"

Femi had grown taller and huge over the years, it is scary, what are they giving them over there? I almost strained my neck just to talk to him.

I threw him a mean glare which made him chuckle. He really looks good.

"How your babe na?" I ask him while taking a sip of my red wine.

"She is alright. She actually wanted to come but due to busy schedules and all. I had to tell her to stay back" I nodded. "but seriously... " his eyes ran through my figure in appreciation. "Omo... You look stunning"

"Femi! Please come of it. I am married and you have a girlfriend" finding his statement uncomfortable.

"Well I don't see anyone of them here" he said wiggling his eyebrows "and me complementing on how good you look does not mean i am cheating on her"
