Finally its the last day, of the Conference I got up and got ready....
I even sang a little song for myself as I got ready... soon Eric will be leaving and peace will be back, the thought was like a magical balm, soothing disturbing chaotic heart.
I shook my head, its Michelle presentation day today.... I cant wait to see her... thinking of Eric will just bring bad luck to Michelle,and I dont want that....so I brushed him off and started to get ready.
To avoid any unnecessary problems, I stirred clear Eric since morning...it worked... I didn't have to flare up...
As Michelle got up to present, she looked so dashing. She wore a formally fitted dark blue pants and a blazer of same color... a light blue top. Her hair was pinned up in a bun...
As I looked at her feeling proud of her among the audience, from the corner of my eye I could also see Eric drooling like me... isnt she beautiful? I wanted to ask.
I bet she is the only person who can make science sexy and interesting at the same time... not just facts and boring datas!!!
She stood next to the podium and gave a beautiful lecture, her discussion session was also very interactive and everyone present was very pleased and happy with her presentation.
After her presentation she came back to where I sat...
" How was it?? I was so nervous, I missed out on certain points!! " Michelle said in low but audible voice.
" You were amazing. I am proud of you " I said and squeezed her slightly trembling hand. She looked so confident, like she had been presenting paper her whole life, who would have thought she was nervous inside!!!Isn't she adorable, I wanted to kiss her for that....
After four more lecture, we had tea break.
" Your presentation was smooth. " Eric said as he sat down next to Michelle with his coffee cup.
'What do you mean by smooth!! It was great!! 'I wanted to ripped off that face.. if only I could.
" Eh thanks? " Michelle replied.
" I thought you would be nervous and trembling. " Eric laughed.
" Sorry to disappoint you Eric. " Michelle said.
Oh, the final day seem more tiring Eric was more determined to get closer to Michelle. But, I was happy from within in a way, that Michelle didn't like Eric...
After awhile, she texted me to wait for her near the gate. So as I waited for her, I saw Eric leaving with his luggage. I didn't know what to do, it was like me dropping him off!!!
We looked at each other, it felt like there was just me and him and dark empty space!! Suddenly at that time, there was no cars plying, no student around, no one!!! Not even a tumbling weed!!!
It was like in olden movies where two cowboys would be head to head ready to kill. We were like that, it felt like eternity. Why wouldn't the cabs come by... neither was Michelle turning up.... Oh man!! this is getting pretty awkward I thought.
