*continues*
“nooooo go away!” i cried as i shut my door on his face, dived to my bed and covered my head with my pillow.
“how did he find me?” i wondered miserably.

I left my old lodge and changed my phone number all because of him. Seeing him that afternoon instantly brought up old memories, drawing out tears from my eyes. I was highly demoralized.
“cyndii please open your door, i just came to talk with you” he knocked and begged. I simply ignored him and refused to open my door.

He finally left after an hour of constant knocking. I heaved a sigh of relief and made the sign of the cross,
“Lord be my strength” i prayed, because I needed no one to tell me that he would return. However i failed to mention Mike’s visit to Benjamin, when we were together later in the evening, without knowing the reason. Perhaps it was because i didn’t want to involve him in my problems anymore. A lame excuse i consoled myself with.
“hope everything is alright?” Benjamin asked curiously as soon as he noticed my absent-mindedness,
“i’m having a slight headache” i muttered calmly,
“i have panadol in my room, let me get it for you” he sweetly said as he got up,
“no don’t worry, all i need is just a good night sleep” i murmured and flashed him a smile. He shrugged and rubbed my back,
“good night dear, let me leave you alone” he muttered and left for his room.

NEXT DAY
“some lecturers are truly very annoying with the manner they behave sometimes” i murmured furiously as i left our lecture hall after writing a hot impromptu test which i manged to answer only three out of six questions. I really was very annoyed and swore to anyone who blocked my path as i left the hall as if something was pursuing me.
A strong hand grabbed me without warning, i instantly turned to lash out on whoever it may be. But I was stunned when my eyes fell on Mike, smiling nervously in his usual way. I felt like slapping him but the crowd around us was much.

“calm down my dear, things are not always as they seem” he muttered quietly,
“i have a story to tell, after listening to it you can then pour out your mind” he added calmly.

“i’m in no mood to listen to your story, i don’t care anymore, moreover it’s too late” i replied haughtily. I could have snatched my hand and ran away that moment, but i didn’t, instead i stood and stared at him while i calmly deliberated whether to listen to his story or not. Curiousity got hold of me.
“don’t say anything dear till you listen to my story, it won’t take much of your time, you can go your way after listening to it. I only came to fulfill something i promised myself” he urged with a smile. I breathed deeply, shrugged with a shoulder and followed him to a quiet, expensive cafe at the other end of the school.

I knew it was undignifying to allow my curiousity get hold of me, but i just couldn’t help it,
“am i under a spell or what?” i asked myself as we sat down in the cafe, moments later.
“please God don’t allow Benjamin to see me here” i silently prayed with guilt….
