CHIOMA : how much did you get the Gucci bag.....hey even the gucci sun glasses!
BIMBO : I just picked and Mark paid o. Wow!
TARA : wait o, this Mark guy, he's so rich o...
BIMBO : don't you know how much he's collecting?
TARA : tell me....(Sitting up)
BIMBO : as a manager, his monthly pay was more than a million naira.
TARA : are you serious?
BIMBO : I tell you. And now that he's the area manager, his salary will be increased.
TARA : no wonder the guy's got money to throw around.
CHIOMA : so he got you all these...
BIMBO : I tell you.
CHIOMA : hmm... I'm sure you guys must have had a very romantic night....(Winking at her)
BIMBO : let's just say I used this trip to test him.
CHIOMA : I don't get? You wanted to know how good he is in bed?
BIMBO : no joor. I wanted to know may be all he wanted from me was my body.
CHIOMA : (surprised) oh really?
BIMBO : yes.
CHIOMA : and.......?
BIMBO : we slept in the same room and he was totally gentle. He's ready to wait till I say 'I'm ready'
CHIOMA : wow!
TARA : Babe, you better forget about this your stingy Yomi and go for Mark.
CHIOMA : hmm...(Thinking)
BIMBO : I'll ask him some things before the next weekend, that will help me make up my mind.
CHIOMA : what will you ask him?
BIMBO : I want to know if he won't rush me like Yomi.
CHIOMA : and if he says he wants marriage immediately?
BIMBO : that's another thing o...but do you think he will? After all, I've told him the reason why I didn't allow Yomi propose that day. I don't think he will do the same thing.
CHIOMA : I hope so.
TARA : well if you ask me, I'd say you still play along with him, but set a timing for it.
BIMBO : how? I don't understand you.
TARA : if he says he wants a commitment, tell him you can't do that till....say... two or three years, abi?
CHIOMA : that's true o, instead of just sending all of them away...
BIMBO : hmmm.....(Thinking about it)
TARA : think it over.
BIMBO : why not pick Yomi then?
CHIOMA : okay wait, which one do you prefer? Yomi or Mark?
BIMBO : I don't know....Mark is caring, Yomi is too, Mark is earning way more than Yomi and he's ready to spend. Yomi's not earning much jare...
TARA : every girl wants a good future o, my dear, choose wisely...
CHIOMA : hmm.....
