"You never talked about going to the wonderland and lounge since I opened it. I thought you will be anxious or curious to go there with the twins." Demilade spoke honestly, quite hurt. "But you don't seem to be curious about it or want to go there either."

"It isn't as you think dear. And I'm sorry if that is what you think. You know I was in London when you opened the place and I have been busy with the opening of my shop after I came back. And I know it's going to be other expenses if I decided to come to Abuja with the twins. You've done more than enough." Demilade was about to say something. "I know you are not complaining and it's nothing but Demilade, there should be a limit. You've done more than enough."

He shrugged. "Okay." He agreed.

"Is that why you decided to host the party at the wonderland?"

"Nope. Your friends suggested it." He answered looking at her. "I guess you are right. They wanted to go there. It was an opportunity."

Lola face curled into a smile. "I told you. So why didn't we have the date there? I heard it got a nice underground bar and there is this eatery with the clouds stuff in there but it's for only couples." She said sounding amazed. "They keep giving us hope even if some places have conditions before you can go in."

"That's how it is supposed to be. For a tourist, it's a method of making more profit."

"Are you still an engineer or a businessman, Mr. Demilade Ninalowo?" Lola quirks a brow, asking.

He chuckled before answering. "To be honest, more of the latter. But I am still an engineer anywhere, anytime."

Lola shook her head and laughed.

"You know, I was shocked when I saw the name of this place. This is Minna's. How did you get to book a reservation for just the both of us for the night? In Minna's for the night? A whole building reservation! It must be so expensive to do so. How?"

"I didn't spend much. The owner owes me and it was almost free."

"Hmm. My billionaire boyfriend. You even know the owner."

"Remember the saying, bird of the same feathers flocks together."

"Hmm." She gave a wry laugh. "Ko po ke." Demilade laughed saying nothing. "That's cool Demilade. I'm learning how not to expect less from you. So it is nice. But you've not answered my question."

"Why we are here?" He asked and she nodded in reply as she picked up the wine on the table. "I want a different air. I want it to be just us. If we are at the lounge, there's going to be a lot of attention on us no matter if I reserve a whole building for us."

"I understand. I love it here too. It reminds me of the date at the botanical garden in Hawaii last year. Just the two of us. So I love it." She replied winking at him.

He chuckled, looking away.

"What kind of wine is this? It's so different." Lola said, admiring the wine in her hand.

"The wine company is one of my favorite wine producers and the wine you are holding is a seventy-five-year-old wine. I bought it in Pittsburgh. Do you want to know how much I got it?" Demilade asked with pride laced in his voice. He picked a servant and dabbed his lips and the side of his mouth since he has finished with his food.

Lola looked up at him. She could see the smirk on the corner of Demilade's lip.

"No, I don't want to know." She shook her head. "You would have probably spent a ridiculous amount of money on a seventy-five-year-old wine. Who keeps wine for seventy-five years?"
