FLOWERS IN SAHARA

Even when the Black Prada was out of sight, Lolade still couldn't get herself. The scene where he winked at her seemed to be replaying in her mind and Lolade found out that she absolutely couldn't get over it.

"What happened?" Nifemi asked as she walked over with the rest of the girls walking over as well.

"Who was in the car?" Fisayo asked curiously. She had seen Lolade flying all over the place.

"He gave a thousand naira and didn't collect change?" Tolani asked in surprise as others looked at Lolade's hand. There was indeed a new crisp one thousand naira note in between in her fingers.

"We are so lucky today" Faith beamed as Nifemi chuckled.

"Its not the first time someone is giving one thousand naira for free. Why are you acting like you got your soul sucked out of you?" Nifemi asked as she nudged Lolade's elbow.

Lolade turned to Nifemi with one of her brightest smile ever.

"You guys should go back. We won't wait till 8 today. We made a lot already" Lolade replied as Aisha sneered playfully.

"Lolade is keeping secrets from us" Aisha said and Lolade laughed.

"When your drinks or water finish, don't bother to get more, just wait for the rest" Lolade said as the girls dispersed trying to sell what was left of their goods.

Lolade and Moni were the first to finish and they decided to help other sell their wares faster so they could go home quickly.

By the time it was some minutes past 7pm, the girls were done and were slowly walking back home. Talking loudly about how the day went and all.

Maybe Lolade was never an active participant in any of their talks, she didn't even say a word throughout the whole conversation.

"You aren't even talking. You are making me more suspicious. What happened with the owner of the Black car?" Nifemi asked as she started walking beside Lolade slightly startling her.

"What makes you so sure that something happened? Well, nothing happened" Lolade replied as Nifemi laughed and folded her arms.

"I know something happened. So spill already" Nifemi said as she was growing genuinely curious towards what happened.

"Well.... " Lolade started nervously. She really didn't know how to put it or what exactly she wanted to say.

"It was a guy" Lolade said summarizing the whole story with a few sentences.

"What guy?" Nifemi asked turning to Lolade who shrugged, suddenly trying to act indifferent.

"There was a guy in the car. He's a student of DRC" Lolade replied nodding as an amused smile crawled up Nifemi's face.

"He looked very nice" Lolade added as Nifemi laughed lightly.

Out of all the girls, Nifemi could godly say Lolade was the only one who didn't fan over handsome guys like the rest. A comment and that was all. Hearing Lolade say a guy looked nice was making her both amused and curious.

She was wondering how the guy must have looked like to make the ever composed Lolade disoriented. She nodded as she adjusted her bucket on her arm.

"How did he look like?" Nifemi asked as Lolade swallowed her saliva.

"I don't know. He just looked.... Really, really handsome" Lolade replied cursing her bad descriptive skills for the first time in her life.

"Wow, wow, wow" Nifemi said laughing.
