Everything was perfect between Lily and I until the second semester. Ours was a private university so there were three semesters per year, what the scholars term as the trimester system. There were admissions ongoing in almost at beginning of every trimester.
So this day, a couple of weeks after reporting back to school as I was on my way out of the campus, I spotted a girl coming out of the administration block. The girl was beautiful. She was tall, brown with full lips adored with red lipstick. She was wearing a black t-shirt with a Louis Vuitton logo in front. Her breasts were full; I could tell to the deep cleavage over her top. She wore a black miniskirt revealing two beautiful legs. My eyes ascended from her white boots, slowly along her squats. I was drooling over her glowing skin; my fingers were already itching to touch her. My eyes ascended above her knees and got a glimpse of her lower thighs. Thick brown thighs! I really loved Lily, but with this girl, I was smitten. Lily wasn't there. I was alone, so I decided to try my luck.
"Hey, excuse me," I wasn't used to it. Lily was my second girlfriend and she was the one who made the first move. My first girlfriend was in the village; we were still together but Lily had kind of overshadowed her.
I had never done things like that before and I kind of felt nervous. But I'll have to admit getting Lily gave me a certain amount of confidence, and at that moment as I stared at the girl I was determined I was not going to eat my words.
"Yes please." Damn! Her voice was angelic. Sweet like her face. This was a real deal; I could tell by how my heart was reacting to her presence.
"Sorry to disturb you. I was asking for the direction to the canteen, if you don't mind." I decided to pretend I was a new student. I could see a frown on her face, but it disappeared as quickly as it came.
"I…I'm sorry I'm new, I don't know." The girl said and was already walking away, but I wasn't going to let her walk away like that. Not when my heart was beating that fast in her presence.
"Hey, I'm Nickolas. I'm a fresh man taking medicine and surgery." I said while stretching out my hand. That last line was placed there as the bait. Yes, my profession was a powerful portion too. It's easy for these girls to fall head over heels when they discover you have big brains. The girl hesitated for a moment before stretching her hand to shake mine.
"I'm Tasha. I'm taking nursing." At that point I knew the fish was already in the hook.
"Nice to meet you Tasha… Nice name by the way it just matches with your cute face." For a moment I taught I fucked up because she was silent for a moment.
"Aah…I'm sorry if that was offensive…"
"What… no… absolutely not, and thanks. Nice to meet you too…Nickolas…aah that was sweet." her statement made me even more confident.
"Thanks. I'm really humbled, hearing such words coming from a beautiful girl." Tasha broke out into a soft laughter. What a great start! Her laughter was like the sound of many waters crushing onto the beach. It was soothing.
"So Tasha, where were you heading. Maybe I can change my destination and we head to the Dh to grab lunch while we get to know each other."
"Mmmh… I was going to the hostels but I guess it can wait." I was all smiles as I accompanied this beautiful chick to the Dh. I was lost in my fantasies, that I didn't even remember that the previous trimester Lily and I had trended as the hottest couple and that a lot of people knew me.
We vibed with Tasha. We were conversing as if we met each other a long time ago. For an introverted person like me, such a vibe meant a lot to me. It's not every time I get to laugh with people like that, carefree.
After having lunch, I asked for her number which she gave it to me without a frown. I hugged her, bid her goodbye and was about to leave when…
"Which hostel do you stay so I can visit you when I'm bored." That came as a surprise to me. I really didn't expect that Tasha would think about visiting me just on the first day we had met.
"Uhm… I don't stay in the hostels. I'm staying outside."
"What?... is this a prank?"
"Why would I prank you? I mean, why would I prank an angel. Who would speak for me then when the trumpet blows."
"Okay you should wait for me then; I won't spend my first day here locked in a room."
"What…?"
"Or you don't accept visitors in your house?"
"Absolutely not. Beautiful guests like you are always welcomed… I mean you are welcomed."
"Okay, wait for me then."
As I stood there in front of Nelson Mandela hostel, I couldn't help thinking how lucky I was. It was evident that the stars had shined on my way, even a foolish man would definitely recognize that. I could tell how lucky I was by the way people almost broke their necks trying to stare at us while were walking together. Even some few couples I met in the dining hall couldn't keep their eyes away from us.
After waiting for some time Tasha finally came out, her face adorned with a beautiful smile. I didn't know what she was smiling for, and I didn't want to know at this point because the clothes she was wearing had already shut off my brain.
"Hey…Nick how do I look? Am I not cute?" But my brain was already in bed with this woman. I didn't hear a thing she was saying I just nodded.
"Uhm…I guess I'll go change to something more appealing then…or maybe you should just go…" this snapped me out of my oblivion.
"But you look hot already…above that I'm afraid you'll have to find me an inhaler because I don't think I'll be able to breath."
"But you said I wasn't cute!"
"Me… I said that? Yeah I was kidding you look hot. Definitely the hottest I've ever seen in my long life."
"Long life? You don't even have beards; you look like eighteen, how's that long life. Or are you just trying to flirt with me?"
"Well, I maybe eighteen but that's long-life for me considering I just wanted to remain in that gold carpeted paradise. Or do you think if it's not for that 'Push! Push!' by the nurses I would have gotten out of that stomach where everything was free?"
