Chapter 8 :- Scared

Still on my bed reflecting on what had happened couldn't get the thoughts off my head,I was daydreaming through out trying to picture how we ended up kissing. My gosh!!!you won't understand the level of love I had for Desmond and I knew he loved me too after today's encounter.Jane came by my room to tell me how her day went and caught me in my mood...smiles...Hey, you she said, what's up!!what are you fantasizing about?she asked I looked up to see her standing by my side... Nothing really ,I replied ,with a smile on my lips and me biting my lower lips..this can't be nothing she said,common girl fill me in with the gist...I smiled and narrated what had happened to her and she was like,awwn!! Girl am happy for you..she said and I smiled and hugged her,we later filled Ashley with the recent happenings though.

One my way to the cafeteria two days later, I bumped into someone again, it's the same person no need guessing far, Hey I said ,he smiled and said we meet again Josephine,how have you been hope you've been good and it's been like how many days now that I haven't gotten to see you ,since our last encounter,he said I gave out a fake smile ,Hey, the campus is big you musn't get to see me often, moreover we are not in same department I said . Yeah !!it's true though, Josephine he said softly,yeah I responded raising a brow up,what does he want to say now,I thought to myself,hmm...Emm!!he murmured. Hey,am listening go on,I have something to catch up with I said,oh...okay nevermind you could run along he replied,what's his problem why is he acting all up as if he was a nice person, i dont get to judge him though because I wasnt close to him,to know if he was nice or not, just don't wanna even be his friend or attached to him and that made me wondered what was he trying to say,though I was the type that doesn't pressurize people to say what they're not comfortable to talk about at the moment,so I asked him one more time are you sure??he replied with a nod,and I smiled and bidded him farewell..as I was headed to the cafeteria many thoughts ran through my heads and my phone rang,and it was my immediate senior brother,Martin's...I was surprised he was calling me the second time in a day,hey, bro!! Wadup I asked..Am good, he said we much more excitement have you heard from Dad today he asked,Nope..what's happening??I asked. Well Phiny!!he said that's what I am being called at home,Ye....ah!! I replied,Guess what?...he said ,Hey,what's your prob, I thought you were gonna let the cat loose from the bag already, the way you even called my name.. please talk am not in the mood for guesses and you should know by now that I ain't a good guesser I replied,I could feel him smiling even though am not there with him, cause he went silent for a bit,and I know him so well.We...ell!! Dad just got back his job,I stood still as if I was stroke by a lightening,I didn't know if to move forward or backward,you don't mean it, I asked him in other to enquire, to be sure...Mmmhmm!!he replied I was screaming on top of my voice and I knew that some students would think am crazy I was so excited with this news...it was the best news ever after dad was sacked for a few years now,it hasn't been easy for us especially me ,Martin's and John...Dave my most elderly brother was working,and earning a little to help sustain the family we were no more as rich,as we were back then , but this news can change a life time, now I have to start planning on my designers bag and clothes to purchase via online...but hold on a minute I have to confirm from Dad if this all entire story Martin's told me was true..so immediately I hanged up I called Dad and he picked and I asked him if what I heard was true and he confirmed it,I was so happy that I congratulated him and hung up. I had to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat but the excitement was so much,that after I bought what I wanted, instead of eating there, I requested it to be in a take-away bag, I headed back to the hostel called my two friends and celebrated with them. I wanted celebrating with Des! But I decided that,it should be later. After hanging out with my friends,the next day I checked my msgs none from Des...I was worried, so I had to call him to know what's wrong at first I gave him 3 missed calls he didn't respond ,I later called him later on that same day to meet up with him and probably celebrate,he still didn't pick it was the 3rd phone call he answered...Hey!!babe how's you ? he asked am good you ??I asked...Good too he replied...so...!!he asked kinda as if it was a question, or an intro to looking for word,you get all am trying to say right??So...didn't you see my missed calls I asked him and he went mute all of a sudden,oh about that...babe am sorry I have been really busy... he responded. Really I asked?? Yep..he answered. I found it strange for him to be that busy, he never seem busy for me even though he was really piled or shooked up with school activities and other things he always had time for me what's really going on...would you be free today,later in the evening I asked ...Mmm...am not sure baby ,lots of things I gatta settle he responded...Mmmmm!!I sighed okay,just wanted hanging out with you,to celebrate something but since you are busy no prob just let me know when you would be chanced I said...okay he responded..

Few days later ,Des was totally avoiding me he is online he doesn't chat me up what's going on I don't understand...it so ,so broke me I haven't seen this aspect of him before why Is he acting up like this. I was really scared.
