Actually i followed him to his house because i was scared to stay back at NAT alone, but i was also scared of going to his house with him because i barely know him.
We walked a stone throw away from the school and got to his house, a self contain( student house ) and truly his sister and two friends stayed with him.I later found out that his sister was just visiting from CRUTEC .
I thanked my stars that he was not a rapist or a killer. when it became bright out side i took my belongings and left the house, he also gave me my lab coat back and i left. Before i left, he asked me if i could go out with him i refused at first, but with further persuasion i agreed to the outing.
It was a Saturday and i never had much work to do at home and besides my dad was coming back on Sunday. The date was by 12pm. when i got home i quickly finished my chores and called my friends, it was a conference call because our tariff plan allowed us to do such at low cost.
TONIA: Hey babes whats up
ME: I am balling and you
TONIA: I am good, is princess not on the call?
PRINCESS: If am not here who else would. How are you guys doing?
Princess and Tonia were my best friends in school, princess was older than the both of us and Tonia was a year older than i was so you can say i am the baby of the group, but we treat each other as equals.
ME: Are you girls coming to school to day?
BOTH IN UNISON: Why not?
ME :ok ooo, but i wont be in school today
TONIA: Why?
PRINCESS: Yes why?
I told them the whole story and they called me names like stupid, foolish, for putting my self at risk, but at the end they apologized and said it was because they were worried about me and they cared.
After our first date, we continued our hide and seek love for a long time till he graduated.
On the other hand, three weeks after i told my friends about Collins, Tonia was into a relationship with Dan, the guy who collected her own lab coat, she used him for her school needs but the relationship didn't last for long as they broke up at our second year in the university.
My dad was finally transferred to IMO State where my mum and siblings stay. Our love for each other grew beyond what words could classify. After four years, i had graduated from school and was working as a Nurse in a teaching hospital in Calabar, and Collins was a marine engineer.
I was at work when he visited me with flowers to the hospital and was smiling so broad that some one would think he won a lotto.
COLLINS: Guess what?
ME: What?
COLLINS: Happy birth day to you
Happy birth day to you
Every one in the hospital both patients and nurses joined in the singing..
ALL: Happy birth day, happy birth day....
Happy birth day to you...
I was so dumbfounded because i totally forgot it was my birth day. Another suprise hit me as he nelt down before me and proposed, i said yes and that was how my jurney as MRS. started.
