The sound of my alarm ringing woke me up to a schedule-filled Monday...
I yawned and looked around, said my morning prayers and walked into the bathroom, I had a class by 08:00am and it's 7:14... I walked out and picked up a pair of baggy trousers and a top, black to be precise...
I checked the time again after putting my hair under a baseball cap and white lip gloss on
I got to the college as my 08:00 alarm rang
"Hey girl" Merissa's walked up to me and gave me a quick hug
"What's up Merissa??" I walked by her side to the first lecture we had
"I have news for you" she looked at me closely
" What is it??" I looked at her closely and she raised her eyebrow
"What??" I moved my head back
" I've got his number!!" I looked at her and chuckled
" Who's number??" I rolled my eyes
" Juan of course" she playfully hit my arm
" Oh God, how did you get his number??"
" So I kinda like went back to that club and met him there, he has very sharp facial features so he was easy to recognize"
" The funniest thing was...he remembers you" she giggled
" So he asked me to give you his number" she passed me a card and nudged me
I looked at it closely
"You know I don't need this" she squirted looking forward
" When you think it's okay, call him" she moved forward
" If you say so" I put it in my bag and followed behind her
"By the way, how's Jamal doing??" She paused
" He's still unconscious but stable tho" I smiled
" He'll be fine" she hugged me, I inhaled her Cologne
" Let's get to class" I smiled grabbing her hand
" You know I used to date Jamal" I looked at her almost immediately
" I'm not telling" she made a gesture zipping her mouth in the air
"Talk" I held her bag
" Talk or else" she pouted
" After lecture" she walked away
"I don't trust you" I chased after her jogging into the lecture hall
She chuckled and sat down beside me
**********************
The screen of my phone lit up...I looked down at it
I'll check it later
I looked up at the person in front of me
" I searched for you everywhere" I smiled looking at his brown eyes, damn...he's cute
" Merissa gave me your number and i didn't want to be rude so I called" I looked at the cup of smoothie in front of me
" Thank you for calling" he held my hand
" It's nothing really" I sucked the the juice through the straw and looked around
" Would you like to go watch a movie??" I nodded
" I'm not doing anything after this" I checked the time, it was 7:00 pm
" Then dinner after that??" I shrugged
" It's settled then" he raised his hand and the waiter came jogged to our table
" What movie would you like to see??" I looked sideways and looked back at him
" The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard" I replied
" I hear it's great" I added picking up the popcorn I ordered for, I brought out a $20 note and handed it to the man behind the counter
" No let me" he gave the man a $100 dollar note and collected another popcorn and a soda
"The movie was great by the way" I looked at him and smiled as we walked into the restaurant
" I'm glad you enjoyed it" he grabbed my hand
" So what would you like to have for dinner??" I looked at him
" Maybe.....pasta" he laughed and took his own seat in front of me
" I'll have that too" he smiled at the female waiter softly
" You're studying art, do you draw or paint or have a hobby related to art??" I smiled
" I paint and draw" he nodded after taking a sip of his wine
" It's nice" my phone chimed in my back pocket
" Excuse me"
" Hey Natalie, what's up??"
" He's awake"
