Karimat peered at her and chuckled. "Do you mean Ada?" She asked.

Sameeha nodded looking at Ada that was still admiring the picture on the phone with Lola. She seems awestruck.

Ibukun laughed as she glanced at Ada.

"She is not talking about the groom." She said.

"She is talking about her boyfriend," Lola said chuckling. She showed her the picture. "You see the guy laughing beside Demmy...." Sameeha and Remi nodded. "That is Reed,"

"Ada's boyfriend." Karimat completed and the girls laughed at Sameeha and Remi's surprised expressions.

"Damn, I didn't know your boyfriend is one of the groom's friends," Sameeha said to Ada.

She grinned at her. "He is. I'm just surprised... You know... he refuses to send me his pics. Like I won't see him at church arsehole." She muttered the last part more to herself then she chuckled.

"Can I dress now?" Lola asked the group drawing their attention away from Ada.

They turned to her. Then Ada raised her ringing phone to the air.

"I think you should. Reed is already calling." Ada said raising her phone for them to see the incoming call.

"Is he calling because we are late or because he wants to hear your voice?" Karimat asked.

Ada laughed. "It is because we are running late. I just finished chatting with him about twenty minutes ago."

"Alright." Karimat and Ibukun chorused, rolling their eyes.

They all turned to look at the white dress in the mannequin staring back at them.

"This dress is so unique," Remi said. walked into the room and they stood beside Lola, looking at the gown like it was the first time they would be seeing it.

"I love it," Ada said dreamily.

"You don't love it more than I do," Sameeha spoke.

"Girls, you're not just seeing it. The question is how is she going to dance in it?" Amira, Ibukun's cousin who just entered the room asked them. They turned in her direction.

"She is getting married to a fracking billionaire, do you expect her to wear just one cloth?"

"But she still has to dance in her wedding gown," Amira replied to her like she was supposed to know that.

"She will still be able to. Can't you Lola?" Karimat asked.

"Thanks for the concern Amira but I already practiced," Lola answered smiling at her and the former raised her hands in surrender.

"Well, I am here because the bridegroom has arrived at the church. I am asked to tell you guys that."

"Thanks, Amira." They chorused in appreciation and she nodded at them before walking away leaving all of them.

Ibukun faced Lola and she said. "Bella, let's get you to dress." Lola shook her head in agreement.

The photographer left the room just as her friends also walked out of the room, picking their bags, and left the room to get the things they need into the jet that was waiting for them on the top of the hotel building.

Lola ended the call she was making with Demilade and she gave the girl beside her the phone after switching the phone off. She threw it in her handbag and Lola made to stand up when they heard a knock and then her father came in after poking his head inside.
