She stood up from the bed and went over to the table where her gold purse was. She decided to leave the room and go for her class. She opened the purse and saw she had 5 meal tickets inside. ''That would be enough for pizza and a few drinks'' she thought. Times were hard but whenever they saw the opportunity, they treated themselves to hot pizza and cold drinks. It would affect them later but for the mean time, they had to eat. And pizza looked like a good choice here.
She picked up her pen and tore a sheet of paper from her notebook.
"Gone for my class. Will be back right after. P.S Where the hell are you???
After looking over the note, she folded it and placed it on his bed. She picked up her notebook and purse and left the room with a slam.
Class was canceled. She was happy yet angry at the same time. She had spent most of her day reading for that test. As she was walking back from the Arts and Sciences building, her tummy rumbled. She thought of the meal tickets in her purse and and decided to buy pizza. He would like the treat too. She was still angry at him for leaving her waiting for three hours but he probably had a good reason. For his sake, she was wishing he did.
With chicken pizza and three bottles of sprite in hand, she walked to his room. She was listening to Rihanna's new album Loud, and so far, it was really good. She was listening to ''What's my name?' when she reached the door and knocked on it. Nobody answered. ''Maybe he's asleep.'' she thought. She knocked louder and still no one came. She stopped the music on her phone and tired calling him. He didn't pick the call. Now she was really angry.
She dropped the pizza and drinks in his friend's room and started walking around dorm looking for him. She had already gone to all his regular places. Well, except one room. That was the game room. Boys went there to play Street Fighter, Tekken and loads of other video games. She liked them and didn't mind that he played them, but if he was there all this time she was waiting for him, he had gone a bit too far.
He was there alright. They had just beaten him in Street Fighter and his friends were laughing at him. He had his boyish smile which he loved. She stood there and stared at him. He was standing right in the middle of the room and holding a PS3 pad. Even though she was angry, she couldn't help but smile at him.
He saw her and immediately came over. He was in the middle of a match but as soon as he saw her, he dropped the pad and came to her.
"Hey"
She gave him a cold look which chilled his spine.
"Hey to you. So this is where you have been?''
''What do you mean, I've only been here for an hour."
"An hour? You left me in your room for three hours. Three hours!!!! I haven't added the fact that I have gone for my INF class and back. You have some nerve saying that.''
"I'm so sorry. I didn't know I had spent so long.''
"Yeah, yeah yeah. That's what they all say." She turned around and walked away.
He followed her. She had walked over to get the pizza and drinks. He watched her in silence and followed her downstairs to his room. She stood and watched as he fumbled with the key and opened the door.
''Deola, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I didn't mean to leave you like that."
She looked up at him and back to the bed. The note remained in the same position. He didn't see the note. She sighed and turned to him.
''Dayo, It's okay. Let's forget about this and eat. " She opened the bag of drinks and started to arrange them in the fridge.
''I got sprite for you. I know that's your favorite drink. And also ...''
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. The hand turned her around and she was facing him. She was scared and started to struggle.
"I love you.''
Huh? This was Dayo Omidiran talking. He was known as AUN's finest male prostitute. Every semester, there was a new girl in the picture. It was a wonder to all her friends when she told them that Dayo was her new boyfriend. She never expected to hear the words, 'I love you' from his mouth.
''I said I love you and I'm very serious. No girl has ever made me feel this way. I love you.''
His hands fell away and she took a step forward.
"I love you too Dayo."
Later, as they sat down and ate pizza together, she thought about all her past boyfriends and the way they treated her. She remembered all the bad decisions she made with them and how it all backfired on her. She remembered how Dayo was always there for her and how she had his shoulder to cry on. She had made the right choice in going out with him.
She looked up and saw him staring. Right then, she reached over and gave him a kiss on the lips.
"What was that for?''
"That is for being the best thing that has ever happened to me."
He laughed and took her hand in his.
"I love you Deola.''
''I love you too Dayo.''
No one was as lucky as these two people. They had not reached the end yet, but they had already won.
Note-Sorry for the long post, just felt like being senti and posting a story about my boyfriend. Being away from him has this effect on me. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the post!!!
