It dawned on me and I could feel the weight on my chest grow as recognition crept in. Just as Apt Paul encounter on his way to Damascus, I felt the same scale fall off my eyes. It was DAN!!! Oh Mine!!! This isn’t happening I thought….
Before I continue let me shed some light on how I got to know Dan. we met through a social media just before I got into school. We had talked all through that time till I got admission. Though he was in his penultimate (400level…engineering) and this was our first encounter physically.
He was much taller and crazily more handsome than the images I had seen on Facebook. Still staring at my toes standing dumb at the school auditorium, I was jolted back to reality when he said “you are drawing attention miss”. I almost slapped myself back to reality for being so stupid…
He walked me back to the female residence as I had just completed my clearance registration. We engaged in a little tete a’ tete which I was partially oblivion about. Just after a long walk, we stood under the “Ebelebo tree”. From the look on his eyes I could tell he was impressed by my beauty. I mean, I am little bit on the short side or should I say close to an average, dark skinned (the kind preferred to as black and shine), neither fat nor slim just normal with all the other qualities distributed proportionally at the right places. I have to go now I managed to say softly and he smiled…JESUS!!!…that smile could raise the dead I thought as I turned to walk towards the entrance of the female residence. “Talk later then” he called after me.
The next day in class was fast and I did all I could to prepare for night class…I hated indomie But that was the fastest food I could get my hands on, I never joked with my books because I always wanted to make my struggling mother proud.
I was still pondering on the sweat shirt to wear when Dan call came in “Hi, are you ready, yes I said” in excitement that only I could taste on my lips knowing I will be seeing him again soon. I went downstairs to meet up with him under the” Ebelebo tree” where we talked for as long as I could remember and after which together we walked down the road of June 12 leading me to faculty to study, while he went back to Ekosodin which was his place of residence and I was left with the memory of his smell lingering on my nostril. What is about this Dan and what were his intentions….hmmmm? If only I could just fathom it.
