Dinner

I don't think I can trust her anymore.

He pushed me away.

I went all the way to look for him.

I was going to propose to her.

Now I can't even think of doing that.

He threw the first punch.

And he betrayed the trust I had in him as a friend.

How was I supposed to know they were dating?

I don't think it's ever going to be the same again.

It was Richie.

It was Richard.

It was Richie.

I'm just a regular guy trying to do the right thing,

but most times the right things always end up badly.

- Are you kidding? - No, I'm not playing.

- Well, you look really handsome... - Thank you.

...in this shirt I got you. What would you do without me?

I don't know.

Speaking of being with you...

- Yeah. - Let me get this.

- One second please. - Okay?

Attention, everybody.

Attention.

Attention, everybody.

So, uh...

Jane Ifeoma Odogwu.

I've thought of every possible way that I could show you how much I love you.

And I couldn't think of anything better than doing this

in the presence of everybody here today.

Jane,

Aw.

Will you marry me?

Wow!

- Isn't it lovely?! - Aw.

- - Say "yes".

No.

- -

- - Huh?

No.

I...

I can't.

I can't. Excuse me.

- -

- -

Mikey?

Mikey.

Mikey.

Mike.

Mike?

Yeah. Um.

Didn't you hear your phone ringing?

Uh, oh, I, uh...

I was just, uh, just lacing my shoes.

Babe, are you all right?

Uh...

I'm fine. I'm good.

Look, if...

If it's about this trip, I don't have to go with you.

You know, I can just wait here and you can go ahead.

No, the... it's fine.

It's not... It's...

I'd really like for you to come on this trip with me.

- Okay? - Yeah.

Is everything alright?

- Diana... -

like I said, I'd really like for you to come on this trip with me.

I mean, Ade is like my brother.

He's my family, and Lola really, really cool.

I'm very sure you'd like her.

It will be really nice to have you at this dinner with me.

- -

Okay. Look,

I know it's important to you. Yeah and...

it's just...

The thing is, I don't know these people. And

don't you think is wiser if, you know, I wait until the wedding itself?

No. Um...

Ade asked me to be his best man.

And it'll be amazing to have you there with me.

If you say so.

I do.

All right, I'm just going to finish packing. Yeah?

Okay.

Stop acting weird.

Okay.

Okay.

What?

Um... Nothing.

Hey. What's up?

What's up, bro?

- I'm good. - Oh, great. What time is your flight?

Um, it's for 2 p.m. So we're packed and about to

take off for the airport.

Okay, cool.

Just needed to confirm what time your flight leaves Abuja.

So I know what time to send the drive over to you.

Well, we should get there say, give or take, 4 p.m.

So he should be at the airport for 3:30.

All right, cool then.

I'll have him wait for you there.

I'll text you his number so you can call him once you land.

No problem. Um...

Ade, I will be coming over with somebody.

Chick, right?

Don't worry. When I see you, we'll talk about it.

Bad guy.

Alright, I'll be waiting.

No problem. Alright, take care, man.

All right, bro. Have a safe flight. Yeah? I'll see you soon.

- Was that Mike? - Yeah.

Needed to confirm what time his flight leaves Abuja.

Hmm.

What are you doing?

How do you mean?

I'm trying to call Richie.

Why?

What do you mean why?

He's my friend and colleague,

and I think you should go to dinner since he's one of my groomsmen.

I thought you told me this was a private dinner

with Mike and your parents.

So how does Richie fit into the arrangement?

Babe, I know you don't like Richie, but...

He is not responsible.

He is a bad influence.

He's still my friend and the only colleague I hang out with.

Employee. Mm?

All right, I...

I know Richie has this thing going on and all, but come on,

I've got you so what harm could he possibly do to me? Mm?

You know what?

Since it's your call, just do whatever you want.

I love you too.

- -

Hey, homie.

Dude, what's up?

Man, I'm good.

Don't tell me you're still sleeping.

Man, I'm just...

I just got in this morning.

The club last night was crazy, man.

Mr. Turn up.

Anyway, try and be at my place later today for 7p.m.

All right.

Lola and I are hosting my best man

this weekend, so we're having dinner at my place.

My parents will even stop by.

Alright.

What's his name again?

Mike.

Oh, Mike.

So just try and be around for seven.

All right.

I'll be... I'll be there.

Thanks, bro. See you then.

Yeah, sure.

Hey, baby.

Hey, I'm sorry. Okay?

Something really important came up last night.

Yeah, you know what?

Can we reschedule for tonight?

Yeah.

My place.

I'll pick you up in the evening.

How's that? Huh?

All right. Surely.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Hey love.

- Mickey, what's up, bro? - Hey! Good to see you.

- Good to see you bro. - Good to see you.

- What's going on? - How's it going?

- Cool man. - Come inside.

- Hi - Hey.

You guys finally get to meet.

- Nice to meet you. - Hi.

Oh, wow. I've... I've heard so much about you.

Michael, Lola. Lola, Mike.

My brother, friend and all round great guy.

Ah, don't mind him, please.

Honestly, like seriously, they couldn't separate...

Oh, uh... I'm sorry. My bad.

Diane, this is Ade and Lola.

- Hi. - Hi.

Um...

- Hi. - Hi.

- Ade. Uh... Pleasure. - Diane.
