Chapter 7

TARA'S POV

It was a sunny saturday and I was bored in my room. I couldn't call Eric because he had to prepare for his monday's paper. It was a tradition in Crown Top University for all her finalist to have their exams a month before all other students.

Come to think of it, I haven't had an heart-to-heart discussion with him. I don't even know how to table it. I grabbed my laptop and phone and head to Cassandra's room. I knocked while she opened the door.

"Baby." She greeted me

"Cassie, watssup." I greeted back

"Am fine and why is your face so gloomy?" She asked

"It is Eric." I said

"What about him or did you both quarrel?" She asked with concern

"No. You know his finals will be over next week and I don't even know how to bring up my insecurities issue." I said sadly

"Oh that, why don't you ask him on their final year dinner night like call him aside and tell him all about your insecurities." She said

"That is a great idea, thanks so much love." I said happily

"Anything for you B." She said

"Yeah, someone even nominated us for the Best Couple of the Year award." I said

"Awwnn..Love in the air." She cooed

"Leave me alone." I said laughing

"I hope you guys win it." She said

"Amen, who doesn't want to be the spotlight of the campus." I said

"No one, my sister but it should always be a good spotlight." She said finally

"Yeah babe. I have some new movies on my laptop, care to watch?" I asked smiling

"Are you asking me that? Shift let me watch jare." She said

"Cassandra for the movie." I said laughing

ERIC'S POV

Finals started last week. I was so happy because in few days time, I will be a graduate. No more semesters or sessions. I was so happy and grateful to God.

Library had been my second home ever since my exams started. As soon as I left the chapel, I went to the library to read. Then I remembered I had to tell Eve something. I picked up my phone to call her because I might not have the time again.

"Sugar pie." I said

"Diamond, how are u doing" She said at the other end

"Am fine love, what about you?" I asked her

"Am doing great. Happy Sunday handsome." She said

"Wish you the same beautiful." I said smiling

"Hope reading is not too stressful?" She asked

"It is, but what can I do?" I asked

"Nothing love, don't worry your efforts won't be in vain." She prayed

"Amen love. I called to ask you to be my date on the final year dinner party." I said finally

"Yayy... Am in, love. What is the theme?" She asked happily

"Blue and Gold." I replied her

"Wow, nice combo. Anyways let me release you on time to continue reading." She said finally

"Thanks for your consideration." I said smiling

"Anything for you sweet." She said

"Ok take care of yourself. I love you and missed you." I said

"I love you more and more baby plus I missed you plenty." She said

"Kisses." I said smiling

"Awwnn... I catch it." She cooed

"Baby, hang up the call." I said

"You hang up."

"Ok let's hang up together at the count of three." I said finally

"1, 2, 3" We both counted.... Hang up
