He laughed it off. “why are you bothered? It doesn’t make you less a delight! So what if you get teased by others? They are just blind”. He won me over completely and was very consistent. Time went by so fast, but every day felt like the beginning.

“Has he asked you out?” Jane asked as we walked back to the hostel from school one evening. Apart from being friends, we were course mates as well.

“Does he need to? All the signs are there. He seems to really like me, though it feels too good to be true. Of all the ladies around he chose me!” I laughed

“Maybe he wants to do so specially. Valentine is just around the corner you know?” Jane always knew how to put ideas in my head.

“True.”

“Have you guys done it?”

“Done what?”

Jane winked at me and made gestures with her hands. “Get away! We cannot get down so fast naw” We laughed together. “oh well, we have shared kissed though. That guy is something!” I had one of my palms on my chest.

“Lover girl!” Jane hailed.

Kenneth and I had earlier agreed to meet at his house that evening. I was beyond excited and couldn’t wait. He still hadn’t asked me out officially but we were happy and that was all that mattered, right?

“Hi dear” he greeted me at his door, arms spread. I step into them and muttered “hello”.

“How has your day been? Missed you” his hands lingered around my hips as he guided me into the house. It was a very cozy room, this is the second time I would visit him at his house. I flanked down on the bed at the corner of the room.

“My day has been fine, I had just two lectures”. I said while taking off my sandals.

“Cool. You make me remember school days” he approached me a pack of juice and two glasses.

“Please don’t remind me of how far I still have to go! I am praying and hope to be like you someday” I stuck out my tongue.

He threw his head back and laughed. I loved the sound of it. Soon we settled into playing monopoly and of course he beat me at it, or did I let him?

“I told ya! I am the master in this game” he smacked his lips, while rubbing his beard.

“Yea yea” I rolled my eyes and made to leave the bed, but he grabbed my waist and pulled me back.

“Come here” he murmured and held my gaze with his eyes. Soon our lips were locked in a deep kiss. 

It felt like he had a dozen hands, I felt his hands everywhere. I caught one of them as it crept into my jeans, we were both panting

 “Wait hang on a minute”

“Why? I have wanted you for so long now” he drooled into my ears, nuzzling my ear lobes. I tried not to be blown away.

“What are going to be having sex as?”

“What do you mean?” he was now seated straight and facing me

“What are we to each other. Are we dating officially?” I insisted.

“As two consenting adults. We are both grown aren’t we” he said flippantly.

A bell rang loud in my head. I silently removed his hands that were now resting on my zipper, scrambled off the bed and started wearing my sandals.

“Chi? What is the problem?”

“Nothing”. 

 I reached for my bag, hung it on my shoulders and left the room as fast as I could. I was oblivious of the fact that it was raining, getting drenched was the least of my worries. I made a mental note not to wait seven months before defining my relationship with any man.

It’s a wonder why the heat in Gwagwalada is yet to make news. I would not be surprised to hear that it has roasted some students alive, it’s been a long time coming. I gave up on prospects of sleep, got out of my sweat soaked bed and went to grab a sachet of water from the fridge at the corner of my room. I moaned as cold water glided down the insides of my throat, the feeling was pure orgasmic.

“Chi!” I heard Jane call my name

“Enter the room naw! Must you shout my name for the whole hostel to hear?” She just spoilt a good moment.

Soon her body mass took over the doorpost, she was all smiles and grins. “I have gist for you!”

“What?” I reached for another sachet of water

“Is that how you will answer me? Better talk well or I pocket my gist” She feigned annoyance

“Talk joor!”

“Hmm, It’s about Kenneth”

“Huh?” I stilled

“Hay! I left him not too long ago, he has been whining about how he wants to get to you and bla bla”.

“Me?” I was in shock. Kenneth is my crush. I always asked God why so much sexiness and smartness should exist in one person. When he was still a student here, the entire law faculty knew him and he never failed to have a flock of females, all just lapping up his sexy goodness. He just knew how to command attention and was worth it. Jane had introduced me to him about two days ago as her cousin when he came visiting, I wasn’t sure whether or not to be excited at the news. The world just felt so small, here I was crushing over my friend’s cousin. How chic. So, after all my dreams and fantasies he wants to get to know me better?

“Yes you!” she clasped her hands and did a small dance.

“Okay?” I was not convinced.

“Well, I have given him your number. I hope you don’t mind?”

How can I mind? “I am still trying to figure out all you are saying…”

“Just relax joor” Jane went on to give me details of her discussion with Kenneth. True to her words, he did call. I am almost died when I heard his voice and cannot recall when I agreed to seeing him later that same week.

Gwagwalada became instantly cold.

Over the following weeks, Kenneth proved to be everything any woman would want. Oh, he did not fail my fantasies! We had a very rare connection, it was always hard to part whenever we met. I loved how he called my name and dotted on me. Once, I had talked to him about the insecurities I felt regarding my weight.

“Hmmn, well…” I remember him frowning slightly
