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.
