Lolade tried to wear a smile throughout the shoot and everyone could notice that there was something wrong. Thankfully the shoot wasn't necessarily one that she had to smile else it would have a disaster.

"You don't look okay sweetie. What's wrong?" Humphrey asked as Lolade played with her new nails.

"I had a fight with Jesse" Lolade replied as Humphrey raised an eyebrow.

"He's in the makeup room. Make up with him" Humphrey said as Lolade nodded.

"Thank you Humphrey" Lolade said as Humphrey nodded.

"If he doesn't want to accept your apology, just kiss him" Humphrey said with a wink as Lolade chuckled before she walked out of the room and hurried towards the makeup room.

She opened the door and stepped inside. Jesse turned to her with a blank expression. It was an expression she had never seen on his face and it was scaring the shit out of her.

After Jesse had left, he had sent her a message saying she had a shoot the next day and he was going to pick her by 8;30 in the morning, she had thought that was the end but the unfamiliar tone Jesse had used and the fact he didn't say a word to her reminded her of the situation on ground.

"Ade" Jesse called as Lolade sighed softly.

"At least, you are still calling me Ade" Lolade said as Jesse stood up and attempted to walk out of the room but Lolade rushed after him and hugged him from the back as tears began to flow down her cheeks.

"Don't go" she whispered.

"Please" Lolade sobbed.

"I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. For not trusting you enough. I'm very sorry. I was just scared that you wouldn't accept her and that... and that.... and that" Lolade kept stammering.

"And what Ade?" Jesse asked quietly.

"That you would leave me" Lolade replied quietly as Jesse froze.

"My mom is deaf and dumb, would you still stay? Would you still want me?" Lolade started as she pursed her lips.

"I didn't know" Lolade said as Jesse sighed and turned to face her.

"You could have just asked you know.  Lolade you mean the world to me, do you understand that? You are very important to me and whatever is important to you no matter how weird or how unacceptable it may seem, it will be important to me, I will accept it" Jesse said as Lolade buried her head in his chest.

"Yes, I understand" Lolade whispered as Jesse sighed. He hadn't even been himself when he had left her the day before. Nifemi calling him didn't help matters either.

"Its okay Ade" Jesse said as he rubbed the back of his head.

The familiar action made Lolade moaned lightly into his chest while hr hands remained wrapped around his neck.

"We are fine" Jesse said as he made to drop a kiss on her forehead. But half an heart beat later, what Jesse lips met wasn't her smooth forehead but was her own lips.

Dazed Jesse turned to Lolade who swallowed her saliva and met Jesse's eyes. She looked as nervous as hell and Jesse honestly wanted to laugh. Her next words even made him laugh.

"You don't like it? Is that not how to kiss?" She asked as Jesse stared at for a moment before he burst into laughter.

"Don't laugh at me" Lolade said stomping her feet on the floor.

"Our lips just basically touched, that's all" Jesse said the corners of his mouth in an attractive pull.

"Isn't that how to kiss?" Lolade asked as Jesse shook his head.
