CHAPTER SIX

CHARLES' APARTMENT

SUNDAY 4:00pm.

" But I hate her, I hate her!" Martins bursted, " don't you remember what her family did to mine?"

"Didn't we agree it was all a misunderstanding, we don't know the truth about that yet..." Charles said.

"Yes, Martins, I think he was framed, I think they blamed it all on him after he died." Rhema reasoned.

" Well, I don't care, I want revenge! I want revenge and I must get one."

"Martins Nwanekezie!" Both Charles and Rhema yelled.

" Charles, since I'm the winner, I get to choose the bet, you're to make her love you, fxck her and then dump her, and after doing that, tell me, if you don't tell me, I'll find out."

" You must be insane! What the fxck is wrong with you Martins?" Charles screamed.

" And if you don't do it, I'll reveal what happened twelve years ago." Martins warned making Charles dash at him giving him a hard blow.

"I can't believe this Martins, I thought you've gotten over it" Rhema asked bewildered which made Martins scoff.

" I haven't and I won't, I can change my mind if only Charles does as I say, What do you think Charles?" Martins asked laughing hysterically.

" I think you're insane and must be joking!" Charles roared.

" Then try me, you know what will happen to her family once I reveal the truth right? You know, so think twice, you aren't killing her." With that said, Martins left leaving both Charles and Rhema in deep thoughts.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Charles and Rose had been hitting it off since the party and they've become quite close. Today was Sunday and Rose was already back from fellowship, she was quite hungry so she dished out the rice and stew from her pot and quickly switched off the socket to remove her hot plate. It was prohibited to cook in the room but she had no choice but to go against the rules because the kitchen sockets were all occupied, and the stress from her room to the kitchen is something else.

She picked her food and sat on her bed to eat when she received a message on her phone. She opened the message on Whatsapp and smiled knowing it's Charles.

Hey gorgeous, will you be around tomorrow by 5pm.

What's popping at that time?

A date?

Then soon a voice note from Charles was sent, she pressed it to listen.

VN: Hey gorgeous, I'd like to take you out on a date tomorrow, if you don't mind.

She laughed, he can be so cute at times.

VN: I actually mind, I supposed to be reading in the library at that time Charles.

VN: C'mon Rose, live a little, a date just for tomorrow, pleaseee

VN: Geez! You act like baby sometimes, alright, I guess I could clear up my schedule by that time tomorrow.

VN: Oh my! Thanks gorgeous. I'm positive you won't regret it. So I'd come pick you up in your hostel, okay with that?

VN: No, I don't want attention, just send me the address.

VN: Geez! don't be a baby,let me come pick you, please?

VN: Alright, see you tomorrow.

VN: Yeah, See you tomorrow.

"Who was that?" Susan winked as Rose dropped her phone back on the bed. " Is it who I'm guessing it is?"

"And what are are you talking about this time?" She feigned ignorance.

"C'mon Rose, spill the damn beans, is it Charles, asking you on a date?"

"Oh Susan, you're such a eavesdropper."

"So it is, Omg, c'mon let's start preparing your clothes for tomorrow, I'm sure it's gonna be lit."

Rose laughed as her friend dragged her to her wardrobe already bringing out all her clothes from it and when she didn't find any suitable one, she went to hers.

"This will do." Susan said as she brought out a flowery armless gummy gown that's below knee length.

"No, no, I'm not wearing that, geez! It's just a date, I'm not going to a club."

"That's the all reason you should wear that, this is the first date I'll see you going since I know you, so I need to make you so attractive that Charles wouldn't be able to take his eyes from you." Rose face palmed herself as Susan uttered those words. She checked the wardrobe and saw a gown that will be perfect for her.

"I think this will do." Rose suggested.

"If you say so, it's almost the same." Susan smirked and urged Rose to change into it.

"Wow! It's so beautiful and it fits you perfectly, oh, how I wish God gave me this shape, you're so curvy."

"Don't flatter me miss."

"I'm really serious"

"Alright thanks Susan."

"You're welcome."

"Rose and Charles sitting on a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g" Miriam, a roommate of hers sang and soon the others joined including susan.

"Rose and Charles sitting on a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g, Rose and Charles sitting on a tree k-i-s-s-i-"

"Geez! You guys should stop, it's embarrassing" she cautioned them but it all fell on deaf ears and after what seems like forever when in reality it was only a minute, they stopped their little embarrassing song.

"Soo, make sure you bring something for us after the date" Dami, another roommate of hers requested.

"Sure, no probs guys, but I didn't know you guys were eavesdropping too."

"We couldn't resist, it's a first for you so we all want it to go well." Amanda, a dark skinned roommate of hers said.

"I'd be in charge of your make up." The makeup artist in the room known as Lizzy contributed.

"And I'd be in charge of your hair." Dami also contributed and Rose was so touched.

"Thanks guys"

"Oh! It's nothing."

STILL IN ROOM 301

MONDAY, 4:55PM

"Done!" Lizzy said as she finished the last touch of makeup.

"Thanks." Rose stood up from the chair and took her bag. Today has been a very long day for her, at first when she woke up all she could think about was her date, as she moved to the library after a very boring class she couldn't concentrate because her mind was already occupied, it took all the will power in her to be able to read her book, and when it was 3pm she rushed to her hostel to start getting ready for her date. Her first date ever.

"Take this." Susan winked and Rose's eyes widened.

"What the hell!"

"You can never know, just be protected."

"Don't worry, that is not happening at all." Rose assured herself and Susan.

OUTSIDE LADY DEBORAH'S HALL

MONDAY, 5:01pm.

"You look so beautiful." Charles complimented which made Rose blush as they moved towards his car.

"Thanks, and you look handsome."

"I know" he smirked as he said that.

"And how are you so sure, Mister."

"Because you said so." He said as he opened the passenger door for her to enter before closing it and moving over to the driver's seat.

"Wear your seat belt cause we are going for a sweet ride gorgeous."

The car was quiet, a comfortable one as Charles drove past the university gate. It took about twenty minutes before reaching the designated place.

"And where is this?" Rose asked as he opened the door for her to come out. He smiled as a response.
