Their trip out was uneventful. He'd arranged for a car to pick Faith up and drop her at the heliport in Victoria Island, close to his apartment. The helicopter ride took just ten minutes as opposed to the two hours it would have taken them to get from the Island to Ikeja on a Friday evening.

As they flew into the domestic airport by helicopter, they didn't need to go through the normal check-in channels and were fast-tracked through to the lounge. Luckily, they didn't have long to board the plane and settled next to each other. An hour's flight out to Calabar and then they took another helicopter ride out to their destination.

The Obudu Mountain Resort sparkled in the darkness, matching the huge grin on Faith's face as they arrived. Warmth spread through his body. Convincing her to come away for the weekend had been a good idea.

They were met at the helipad by the resort manager who greeted and ushered them to their villa. His security detail walked behind with their bags.

The wooden villa stood on stilts built into the mountain face and was filled with modern conveniences.

"This is a piece of heaven away from home," Faith said and kissed him when they were left alone again.

"Does that mean you're glad to be here?" He pulled her close.

"Absolutely."

The weekend passed blissfully for both of them with no worries of paparazzi or being recognised. Even his bodyguard kept a discreet distance while they were exploring. They took the cable car across the mountain, getting a breathtaking view of the lush green landscape high up in the Obudu Mountains. They strolled through the wildlife sanctuary, watched water cascade down crystal clear waterfalls.

On Saturday evening, they enjoyed dinner outdoors on the mountain restaurant and watched the sun set in the horizon.

"We're so high up I feel I can reach out and touch the sky."

"You probably can, if you stand on my shoulders." He winked at her.

"Oh, you." She giggled.

The soft, tinkly sound poured fuel on the flame that had been burning within him all day. He really wanted to get her indoors, but they needed food after all the activities they'd done that day.

"You know this is the first time I've had a holiday of sorts with anyone."

"But I thought you said you've been to London."

"Yeah, for studies and work. And yes, I took a two-week break a couple of years ago before I started working as Strategy Director, but then, I travelled on my own."

He frowned. "Are you saying you never went on holiday with your family when you were a child? Not even to your hometown?"

Every city-dwelling Nigerian child ventured to his or her hometown village at least once in their lifetime. As tradition, Nigerians were big on their ancestry and roots. Even he remembered holidays in Calabar, his father's hometown.

"Technically, Benin is my hometown. It's only thirty minutes from my father's house to the Brown family compound. So I guess in my head, I never really saw any visits there as a holiday.
