Myschool-Tales:Campus Delimma episode 4

Episode Four

“Hi guys” I greeted as I got to them. Shania
turned and
heaved that kind of thank God sigh also
hugging me at
the same time. The dude just stood there
looking at us.
I was surprised at her action with the whole
hugging
thing. I hailed the dude again stretching out
my hand
for a hand shake which he reciprocated
“Sorry bro, I guess she is your babe” he said.
Before I
could utter any response, Shania took over and
started
with intro 101.
“Stranger meet my boyfriend and sweetheart
meet mr
stranger’ she said flashing a set of white teeth
with a
beautiful smile to the dude.
“Guy you must be a very lucky……….” The dude
started
to say before Shania cut him off.
“Yea, he knows he is lucky and if you don’t
mind we
will like to go now” she said pulling my hand
as she
walked away. I looked at the dude and saw
embarrassment written all over him. I drew
Shania
back gently for a proper introduction
“My guy am Purity and she is Shania. Don’t
mind her,
she is my friend and not the other way round” I
said to
the dude.
“I’m Dave”, he said stretching out his hands
once
again, “and nice to meet you two.” he
continued.
Shania smiled and apologized for her rude
behavior.
“Am actually going to have some drink inside,
hope you
guys don’t mind if we share a table” he said
looking at
us.
“It would have been a pleasure, but we ain’t
going in
(Shania looked at me). But if you don’t mind,
let’s do
this another day. I said to the guy.
“No probs, next time then” he said handing out
a
complimentary card to me. He took my
contact before
we parted. I hailed a cab with Shania looking
strangely
at me. I told the cab man to drop us at Chitis.
We got to Chitis and coincidentally the table I
occupied
with Cindy on Saturday was empty. I led
Shania to the
table and we settled at the table placing our
orders
when the waiter arrived.
“So why did you change the venue all of a
sudden?” she
asked.
“Nothing much, just didn’t want to stay there
anymore”
I replied looking away
She laughed before asking “Or you think I have
got
something up my sleeves”
“Do you?” I asked looking her in the eye balls.
She
stared at me without saying anything before
the waiter
arrived with our order. She made to pay the bill
but I
refused.
“This meeting was my idea so I got the bill.”
She said
trying to persuade me to allow her pay the bill.
“This meeting might be your idea, but the time
and
venue was mine so allow me to do what I
have got to
do.” I said and paid the waiter and she left. I
served her
drink and did same to myself. I took a bite
from the
meatpie before asking her.
“So do you recognize this table?
“Yea I do, that was where you sat and here
was the girl
you came with” she replied giving me the ‘you
think I
don’t know why you brought me here’ smile.
I still had that doubt that she is a bait. But on
the other
hand I asked myself. “Why will Cindy try to set
me up?”
it’s not like we are dating already. I decided to
keep
Cindy away for the time being.
“So to what do I owe this whole thing” I asked
her.
“Nothing much” she said and continued. “Just
want to
be your friend. Well the truth is listening to
you, how
you listened to the girl while she talked, how
you
talked, laughed and your calmness and
composure, I
couldn’t help but get attracted to you”
With her boldness I felt more awkward like
something
was definitely fishy.
“Wow! All this for me” I said while we both
laughed.
“Thanks Shania, but I didn’t seem to notice
you
yesterday. Who did you come with and were
where you
seated?” I asked.
“I came with myself and I was seated right
behind you”
she replied smiling.
“Well the girl I came with is my girlfriend” I
said looking
away
She laughed before saying “Dude am no kid.
And I
know first date when I see one, so please
don’t play
she is my girlfriend card with me.”
Shania looks free spirited and straight forward.
I don’t
know what has been happening between me
and
beautiful girls. First was Oge, then Precious,
now its
Cindy and Shania. Shania is not just beautiful
and
endowed, she smells stinking rich. Yes rich but
very
humble. She was in English department, 3rd
year. As
we left the café I said to her.
“Shania, I like your personality and from now I
think we
are friends already. But I don’t think we can go
beyond
that. Am trying to see if I can build something
with
Cindy, the girl you saw me with yesterday.”
She heaved a sigh before she said “Purity you
know
what?”
“What? Tell me” I replied.
“Stop getting me attracted to you with your
sincerity.
Keep up with that, and you will have more of
me
coming your way” she said and we both
laughed.
“You are funny and believe me, I feel honored
that a
beauty like you wants to be my friend. Truth be
told, I
can’t walk up to you on a normal day and ask
you out”
I said as we waited for a cab.
“Why?” she asked looking surprised.
“Who wan collect slap” I replied as we both
laughed.
“Maybe from this you can see how lonely I am.
Purity
do you know that I don’t get up to 3 guys
asking me out
in one month, and when I do, it will be those
lusting
after my body or other things.” She said with
pain
showing in her voice.
