Chapter 5:- He asked me out

The present: you know how we are right now i and Desmond,knowing that we were in same higher institution made me so dime happy, now at least I know this is fate. I got so addicted to Desmond that everything I did was him, we studied together I won't lie to you, it wasn't easy to study with someone your heart beats for...have you ever tried that before practically you are asking for an F in the course you're taking, I got admitted to study Art in the university cause it was the course I filled in for.Anytime I ain't with him,my heart yearns for him and it wouldn't be long I would get a call from him asking me whether am busy or not I should either come online or meet him at the cafeteria, Library or most times he asks for a stroll around campus, cause I stay in the campus and he also does.

There have been this particular question I had been longing to ask him,but I would just sweep it off cause I didn't want to ruin the moment,one could say we were practically love birds that ain't doing anything, anywhere you see me in campus he was also there and this made me not feeling lonely to walk alone, cause my two besties were in separate department from me and we only get to see in the hostel apart from Ashley whom stayed off campus..yeah I know that you would also be curious to know what the question I have been yearning to ask he was,I wanted to know why then, back in school he saw me as a plague and avoided me without any thing after the party. So on this faithful day,he called on me while I was preparing for my evening class...Hey!! he said in this sweet tone that could make you want to miss your appointment or lecture and just stay back all just to listen to his melodious voice, he had this unique voice while on phone that I loved listening to...Hi!! I responded, why laying down on my bed, what are you doing later today?? he asked me , I smiled and wanted to make a big deal out of it, well maybe I would go and see my boyfriend whom is off the campus he misses me so much and he can't wait to see me...I said smiling while waiting for his response he was mute for a long time...Hello!!are you still there ?? I asked ,yeah he said. So you have a boyfriend I don't know of,he said it was more like a question or statement but in a low tone then I figured that he was not really happy about the idea ...I said ehmm!!like in affirmation to his statement wow!!,I didn't know he replied...so now you are knowing...I replied. Why asked if I would be free I said standing up from the bed which I laid down to get my books and pack my hair ready for my evening class...Well hmm! Mm! It's nothing never mind he said in much lower tone, what is wrong with him now ,why acting all wierd I thought to my self.. Then I said to him, Des?? Yeah!! He answered are you jealous I said with a chuckle ,of what?? he asked of having a boyfriend I said. He went mute again...a little I guess he responded...so someone is jealous...I replied,well I have no boyfriend for now , you ought to know me by now , I said. He then asked us to meet by 6pm after my lectures that he wanted telling me something. I was so anxious of what it might be that he wants to say what exactly does he want to tell me...as so as the lecture ended I rushed back into the hostel to apply some make up and called him to tell him I was through with my class ,and he picked and told me where he wanted us to meet at the institution open field,the place is quite big and a very good and nice view for the students with sheds if you get what I mean I normally come out for a sit out here most times.

We met and gisted alot,then we ran out of gist ,I still wondering what he wanted telling me,but before then I had to bring this question up that had being a burden to me..Des?I called him Ehmm!! He responded

Why did you ...mm...avoid me back then in high school,he smiled and said it was nothing big,he just wanted to study and make a good grade and truth be told he liked me back then and didn't want me to stand as a distraction to him,I was taken aback by his statement...I smiled and asked are you for real or you are pulling my legs? He turned to face me and he held my hands, and starred directly into my eyes, and said Phine!! That's what he normally calls me though, I was in love with you back then and I still am that was what i called you to talk aboute, i can't hold my self anymore on how I feel about you,I was short of words what do I say...I wasn't expecting it to be like this...I get nervous when am around him to more or less confession time, My heart was beating so so fast. I...I don't know what to say I said to him,still glarring at each other, would you be my girlfriend he asked I was lost in my thoughts for a second this was what I ever wanted,cause I was now deeply saturated in loving him secretly, why did it take him this long, Phine he called me back to reality,I smiled and nodded in affirmation,but Des!! I said I have trust issues I don't want to be heart broken I said to him,cause I have heard alot about heart breaks and I haven't experienced one not as if I do want one , i just don't want to be heart broken I said , he smiled and said everyone has trust issues and are scared to be heart broken, but it depends on how we deal with ours . I smiled and he hugged me...so I now have a bf I said to my self.
