C3 First day at lecture

It was Monday morning and I had class by eight thirty, I immediately picked up my tooth brush, brushed my teeth and dressed up hurriedly. I didn't want to be late for my first class that I even forgot to eat. I was late already because it was already few minutes to nine. My roommates were still on bed when I left the room.

I was walking very fast towards my faculty I accidentally bumped into a girl. 'watch it' she yelled furiously before I could even apologize.

As I got into the Hall we were to have the lecture, it was so jam-packed and hot, and most of the fans were not working. Some of the chairs were even broken and the lecturer was not yet in class.

"The lecturer must surely use a public address system unless we won't hear a thing" I muttered to the girl sitting close to me and she only nodded. I looked around and noticed that the hall was too small for the number of people in it and other students were still trooping in. People that came after some minutes had to even stand because all the seats had been occupied.

"Hey, pls can you adjust for me? A girl asked me. The seats were very tight but I had to squeeze myself to accommodate her. My dad had once said I had the quality of a good leader in the sense that I could displease myself in some certain ways to please others. My friend grace in secondary school always said that it was my weakness, always wanting to make everyone happy even if it doesn't favour me, but I knew that was a lie, because whenever I made people happy It always makes me happy deep down, and a wise man said 'life is not only about how successful you are, but about how many people you helped and how many lives you changed, touched?

After few minutes the lecturer entered the class, apologized for the inconveniences his lateness might have caused us and went straight to business.

He was a tall lanky man with absence of smile on his face almost like my dad, I thought with amusement.

The course he was to lecture us on was philosophy and logic which was a general course in school, all students including medicine and law students were to read the course for only first semester.

I learnt that most students didn't take the course very serious and didn't mind getting a D in the course because they thought it would add no mark to their GP, but my dad would tell me 'whatever you find in your hands to do, do it with all your might and as unto the Lord, it was actually a passage in the scriptures or anything worth doing is worth doing well. And that was what I was going to do, take all my courses serious including the least.

After all the classes I had for the day, I walked back quietly to my hostel. First day in class was actually great, I had made two friends alread and was happy with myself. My circles were actually very small and I hardly made friends. That was not because I'm completely anti social but because I wanted it that way, I was actually too picky in selecting my friends.

As I got home I slumped on the bed so tired and thinking for what to prepare for dinner, then I drifted to sleep. My phone rang and I snapped off from sleep to get the phone at the other end of the bed, it was Daniel.

" Would you mind going out with me this evening? He asked

"Emm....I don't know, I'm about to prepare something for dinner, maybe some other time".

"Come on, please don't say no to me...I kind of miss you, we could get something for dinner from there" he pleaded.

"Ok fine" I said"

"Thanks so much my Mira baby, he said teasingly. What time should I come and pick you up?

"It's 5 minutes past 5 o'clock, 5 thirty will be okay".

"Alright see you".

Why does he wants to buy me dinner and why is he doing like we've been friends for a long time, daddy said I shouldn't leave the school premises anyhow without telling him, I thought aloud. I was about dialling my dad's number to call him and tell him I wanted to go out but on a second thought I dropped the phone. He wasn't going to let me go. I stood up from the bed and headed to the bathroom in deep thoughts, this was my life and I am going to live it like mine not daddy's own after all I was not a kid anymore. I'm seventeen for crying out loud and there was nothing wrong with going out with a guy.

After dressing up it was already 5:45pm. I wanted to pick up my to call Daniel to inform him I was ready but on a second thought I sat down on my bed. If I call him now it would look as if I was too excited or curious to see him I'd rather wait, I said to myself. After barely five minutes his call came in, thank God, I mumbled.

"I'm almost close to your hostel already, I could sense excitement in his voice.

"Ohh ok, I'll be coming outside now" I said hanging up.

As I stepped out of the hostel, he was already waiting for me, but he was on his phone and didn't see me coming. I stood from afar and stared at him for some minutes, Daniel was extremely handsome to be honest with his light skin and dimple that reminded me of my brother.

"Heyy, I said and he looked up from his phone.

"Good evening milady, you look so fetish in this red dres milady" he whispered teasingly to my ears and I only but blushed.

"Ohh please... thanks anyways, I said laughing. 'So where are we going?

"Let's go and eat first, I'm even hungry" he said.

After eating, we discussed and he told me some things about himself at the same spot we went to the last time, we decided to go to the cinema, I was relaxed because tomorrow was my lecture free day. They were showing a very interesting movie titled 'hits man's wife body guard. Daniel was too engrossed in the movie that he was not eating the pop and drinks we had gotten.

"Here, I took some popcorn from my hands to his mouth.

"I think it tastes better from your hand" he said.

"You are not serious" I replied smiling.

The movie ensteded around 8 o'clock as we were about leaving it started to rain heavily. A very loud thunder and lightning accompanied the rain and a very heavy wind was also blowing. We sat at the drink spot waiting endlessly for the rain to stop and I was already shivering.

"Are you okay, are you cold?? He asked worriedly.

"Yes, really cold. Then he pulled his jacket and gave it to me. I couldn't help but oblige...I was too cold.

After waiting for God knows how many hours, it wasn't as if the rain was going to stop anytime soon.

"We won't see any bus to take you to the hostel, and my phone's dead, can you lend me yours let me use it to book Uber??

I brought out the phone from the small bag I came with, as I was about handing it to him my eyes flashed through the screen and i saw the time was past ten o'clock. I was shocked, I never knew the time had gone so fast like that.

"Daniel, I said almost to myself, there's no point booking the Uber, hostel gates are shut down by exactly ten o'clock".

"Gosh, are you serious? What are we going to do now? He asked rhetorically scratching his head like he was worried.

After some thinking, I resorted to spending the night at his place, that was the only option I had. Then he booked the Uber to his place. I was very uncomfortable in the car and didn't stir a bit or talk to him, my mind was racing. So I was going to spend the night with this guy. He noticed how uncomfortable I was and spoke up.

"Are you sure you are okay, please calm down I don't bite, you will be fine" I could sense amusement in his voice.

We got to his apartment almost some minutes to eleven o'clock and I was very exhausted. His apartment didn't look like a student apartment, it had a very large and lavishly decorated sitting room where his pictures were hanged and he lived alone.

We were already wet from the rain and he gave me his own clothes to change into, it scented of him and I felt so warm

"Would you like to shower? He asked.

"Of course not, I'm okay" I would have loved to but I was too tired and lazy.

"Alright, make yourself comfortable here, let me go and arrange the room you will sleep in" he said and left me alone.

I looked around and noticed everywhere was also extremely neat and had his scent. It was decorated in black and white, black cushion or rather sofar, white beautiful cotton and so on. Suddenly they cut the power and everywhere became dark and creepy, I was always very scared of darkness since I was little and it didn't change till now. A scream almost escape my lips as Daniel came from nowhere.

"It's okay, it's me" he said reassuringly.

He led me to the bed room, although I could barely see with the dim Torchlight that looked like what had not been charged for months, it looked very beautiful.

"Can I sleep here with you, but on the floor...or if u don't mind I can sleep in the other room" he said hurriedly as if he was almost out of breath and I wondered what was wrong with him.

"Sleep here please, I'm too scared to sleep alone here" I answered. This was not like the hostel where noises from other rooms reminded you that you weren't alone, it was extremely quiet.

"Alright...scared kitten" he added laughing.

I laid down on the bed and he spread some sheets on the floor and laid on the floor.

As tired as I was I thought I would fall asleep immediately but I remained awake looking up blankly.

"Daniel? I called out

"Yes dear"

"Are you sleepy?

"No I'm not, are you?? He asked

"Nope... would you mind joining me on the bed" I gushed out without thinking.

"Are you serious right now? He asked surprisingly.

"Emm yep, there's no point sleeping on the floor when the bed is large enough to accommodate both of us" I said.

"Alright, he said joining me on the bed. I was feeling very funny. The weather was cold but I was getting warm and I swallowed.

"Have you ever kissed someone? I asked. I knew the answer already, Daniel said he was twenty one, he must have kissed or even done something more, but I just wanted to ask.

"Of course, have you?

"Nope" I answered shyly. Do you want to try it with me? I asked.

A voice in my head was telling me to go and sleep but I shut it off. Before he could even reply my lips were already on his. At first he froze, but later kissed me back. He grabbed with one hand and I was on top of him then he placed his hands on my waist. I was kissing him with so much energy I didn't realise I had until now and I was lost in the sweet sensation it brought to me.

I thought of dad, dad would think I'm in the hostel right now sleeping or probably reading my books, and here I was kissing a guy I just met barely a week ago. But the thought didn't matter to me right now, the only thing that mattered to me was how I was feeling, I had never felt like that in my life.

He stock his tongue deeper into my mouth and I gasped. I was breathing very heavily now. I removed the top I was wearing and helped him romove his and my breast were bare on his chest. We were kissing more fiercely now and breathing heavily. One of his hand scooped my left breast and he stroked it sofly, a soft moan escaped my lips.

"Are you sure you want to do this now?

"Do what? We are just kissing" I answered without thinking.

Then my mouth went down to his nipple, and he gasped, he was also shivering. The power of a woman, I thought smiling.

"Mira don't start what you cannot finish" he said and his voice was hoarse "you're a virgin, how can you be so bold, yet innocent and you're affecting me this way" he added and I saw him close his eyes.

Then my senses came back to me, I flipped back to reality from the world of passion, I kissed him once more slightly..

"I'm sleepy now, good night Daniel" I whispered. I just had my first kiss now I thought aloud, this was a day to remember for me.

"Good night my sweer" he replied and I dozed off.
