Getting to the ShopRite, I saw him from afar Putting on a blue T-Shirt and jeans with a pair of sneakers with a solid vamp. Oh...my gosh! He is so handsome as I am blushing right now. In a minute I snapped back. I have to put myself together. Getting close to him, I rush down and gave him a hug.
He gave me a slight kiss on my lips. I have miss you too much. I can't hold back myself right now and as well I can't forget the promise I made to you he said in a hush tone. I love you Jerry! I love you too even more than you do. He placed his hand on my waist and led the way to the entrance. We took the escalator to the third floor. I almost fell off balance, he quickly pulled me closer to himself and started kissing. His lips on mine make it tremble. On getting to the third floor, we parted our lips. He held my hand as the gentle man he is and led the way. Wao!...I exclaimed. This place is so beautiful. I can see the chandeliers. It's so colourful. This was my first time here. He pulled the chair out gently for me to sit on. Thanks Jerry. I said.
It's ok. I can do all for you he said with a lovely smile on his face.
His teeth are well arranged. He has a good set of teeth that are whitish in colour.
He stared so much at me…. Like he was finding it had to voice something out. I asked curiously "what is it. Why are you looking sad?
Rosie! He called me softly to his attention. Am relocating to Lagos Next month. Basically, Lagos Island. This school is just holding me for nothing. I have to go and get something better. what! I stood up with a surprise look. He quickly embraced me tight. And whispered to my ears .Am sorry ok. I have to go and get a better job so that I can come for you. I sat speechless.
(ROSIE'S POV)
before meeting Jerry in June, 2016. I have been praying and making prophecies concerning my future. At 12:00am in the midnight, I am on my knees speaking in an unknown tongue sometimes groaning in prayers. While praying, I saw myself getting married to a king. That I was signified out of the crowd amidst other ladies. I saw myself as queen Esther in the bible. That is the reason why suitors have been tripping to my hostel and I wasn't obliged to their request. I don't want to fall victim to the wrong man. But during that season, I have equipped myself with how to be a queen. Like thought well reasoned, words well spoken and deeds well done because, I want to have a beautiful life and a glorious home. So I have the conviction that my future is settled for good.
I have to comprehend all that I just heard now in deep thoughts. Jerry and I have been in a relationship for a year now and I pitied him so much that he can't even touch me. I felt so much for his emotions. This should be a good idea. Long distance relationships will help us both to be able to keep our promise. And besides, he has wisdom to know what's best for now. I snapped back immediately after a few minutes of thoughts within.
He was squatting while trying to console me. Jerry...! I called hugging him close to my heart…. Am ok with your decisions I whispered to him while panting his shoulders. Thank you Rosie…. He responded with a lovely smile on his face. Come with me, I need to show you something! Really… We saunter with my eyes blind folded with a piece of cloth.

He took the piece of cloth out of my eyes on getting to the beautiful garden full of hibiscus flowers within the vicinity. we took some beautiful pictures together he pulled me closer with his hand on my waist, when our lips came together. He kissed me so much that I felt the heat of his mouth. He pulled me closer to himself with his left hand while his right hand holds my neck softly to savour every bit of my lips. After few minutes, He parted his lips from mine gently. It was hard for me to let go. it's time for us to depart now. He whispered to my earlobe. Oh…! I love you Jerry! I broke the silence softly. I love you too Rosie! Please you have to finish strong. Sure I will… I spoke confidently.

Time passes so fast. Our relationship is growing stronger everyday. We just rounded up our final exams for 400 level when I got a call from him to come over. I waited a little longer for just to see my final grade.
