~~ 27. ~~

           He finally let her go slowly.

          Her stomach was fluttering like never before, light passing through her veins and her heart was skipping in her chest. They were sensations that she hadn't experienced since her first boyfriend. Even more than that. It was almost embarrassing because Demilade was not just any man or her boyfriend. He was a deal that is going to end.

           Demilade ignored the feelings in him and continues walking. For a moment he had been scared and angry at the crazy driver. He had wondered why he cared if Lola gets hurt.

          She walked quickly to meet him because he was walking fast with his long legs.

            She noticed some people were looking at them as they walked past them. And for an unknown reason, she felt a little sense of pride walking close to Demilade. Especially when the ladies looked at him and then turned to her that was walking beside him.

"I love your outfit bro." A guy walking beside Demilade said. He was walking with his friend. He had a smile plastered on his face.

"Thanks," Demilade replied.

"Is she your girlfriend?" His friend asked gesturing with his head toward Lola who seem oblivious to the conversation. She was looking somewhere else with a small smile on her face. Demilade glanced at Lola and turned back to the guys on his left-hand side.

"Yes." He answered.

"Oh!" The second guy exclaimed. He had hoped she was his sister.

"She is pretty bro. You should keep her well if you don't want to lose her She is a hotcake. No offence." Demilade shakes his head.

"Every man will like to have a girl like her. She is gorgeous. So take care of her." The second guy said.

"I will." He answered.

"And one more thing, you look good together." The first guy said with a broad smile. It was then Demilade noticed he was older than him and far older than the second guy beside him.

"Thanks." He appreciated and he gave a small bow. The guy did the same and he went in another direction while Demilade take Lola's hand and lead her out of the gate of the park.

"Are we going home?" She asked when they got into the car.

"No. I want to go somewhere. I haven't been there in a long time." And he turns into the main road.

            She wondered where that is. Maybe it was his mother's house. She thought. But she didn't bother to ask. She was going to know, sooner or later.

          He pressed the screen of the little monitor in the middle of them and music came to life filling the car with the sound of music. Lola didn't like the song and she voice out her thought.

"Can you please change the song?"

          Demilade asked. "You don't like Elvis Presley?"

"No. I don't even know him. I've only heard the name." She said, bored.

           He shrugged. "Okay." And he changed the music. "How about this? It's Michael Jackson."

"You are really old school. But I am not really a fan but I like his song a little." She demonstrated with her hand and he smiled. "He is a legend. Just not in our time."

"He is always going to be a legend... forever. I listened to his song a lot as a kid." That is another thing she just learned about Demilade. Thought Lola. "He knew how to inspire people with his song." He told her.
