The Unexplainable Bond

At the age of 21 you would've thought I had my life planned right?, well I didn't but the only think i knew was nursing was for me. I mean anything that involved me helping others was for me. I love learning and developing myself intellectually. I am absolutely smitten by the idea of intellectual growth. I know what you’re thinking "hmm she’s a bit of a weird one hey" or " I like her already she’s open minded", let me confuse the confusion I'm a young black female who just started university and isn’t afraid to go out of her comfort zone.

Did that bake your noodles? Because I know how people be thinking, yeah I know what you think especially those who got the media guiding their life’s from what to wear to even how they think. Yeah I see you. Most of the time people think I’m stuck up, that statement alone makes me laugh because seriously I mean I don’t even care about my appearance much, and so what if I like saying it how it is? We only got one life so there’s no point of sugar coating it just to make them sleep well when we both know it’s a lie.

Oh sorry I didn’t even give you and introduction about myself. My name is Noémie Genevieve Axelle and as you guessed I am 21, I’m 5'7 in my dreams but 5'2 to the human naked eyes. I am of an African descent but have a mind of feminist on a mission of freeing the minds of her people. Weird I know, well let’s just say the way I think compare to where I come from can be disapproved but who am I to blend in with society.

’I’ve always been a rebel with smart mouth that can make a nun want to curse me out, and want to know why? Well even if you don’t I’m still telling you anyway, well that’s because unlike most my come backs are calculated and actually SMART hence why it’s called SMART mouth. Oh did I mention I can be very cheeky and smart too? No well I just did but the important thing about all of this is I’m really shy so yeah that’s me in a nutshell.

London the great city, that’s where I was going to be spending my next 3 years well it better treat me good or the queen and I will have some important discussion over that tea and crumpet of ours. I’ve been in the car for the past 30 minutes and was already getting car sick, I love road trips yet hate the fact that I get car sick. Right now I was in a car with my best friend. I know normally it’s the parent that drops their child to university and all that fancy stuff well not mine. Mine left me at a young age so I hard to grow up and support myself in everything I did, and my best friend has always been there and that why I love my girlie.

"Yes mummy I know I will call you nearly every day to let you know I’m alive and safe from all the harm" I said to my teary eyed best friend. After finally settling down and her helping me out with unpacking she finally had to go. I was going to miss her but I guess this is a step that had to be taken.

“you better and or else" she said. I had to try my best not to roll my eyes at her trying to hold her emotions together but it was really cute. “Okay mummy bye and have a save journey back". After the long goodbyes to my best friend/ only friend, I managed to make my room homey and I also met some flatmates. I mean they all seem really fun but then again it’s only the first day so I’m guessing everyone just trying to make everyone comfortable. I met a girl called Althea and she seems chilled, we've just clicked and for the past hours we have been laughing like mad. Her being from Ghanaian and many other African mixes just instantly made us click because when Africans get together it’s always Cray Cray.

Waking up was a complete nightmare and that was due to the fact I thought I was kidnapped and left somewhere in an unknown room, that was until my brain slowly rose up from its slumber  and reminded me about moving into campus and also being in university. That’s why I thank God for my brain because I would have been screaming bloody murder if it wasn’t for it. Today I was going to spend some time with althea since she doing fashion studies along with design I thought why not tag along with her since I love fashion although I’m forever broke but hey there’s nothing wrong with just pleasing the eyes. Finishing my morning routine and also managing to phone my little cousin Karen I was ready to face the world. I’m so childish sometimes you see so you better get ready for that side along with the weird side. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

After walking into every single fabric shop and every shop that was selling African materials we finally decided to go back home since we were carrying loads of heavy bags. Today was good due to the fact that I got to meet really good people along with Altheas' other friend. Right now we were in Ria’s room, Ria was an Arabic girl who was one of Altheas friend and she was really pretty. She was about 5’4 with really long black hair with really nice greenish eyes. Althea was 5’9 with an amazing body that most would die for with shoulder length hair and brown eyes. Hanging around with these two was better than expected simply because we were all crazy. Whilst buying the materials Ria decided to flirt with the shopper keeper just so he can give us a discount and if you didn’t guess, we did get our discount and he also got her number. I guess she took one for the team because there was no way althea was spending over 2 digits on a piece of material.

Spending 2 hours on unpacking and organizing the materials, well Althea was, because she didn’t trust us on fixing simply because she thought we were going to stain the materials or ruin it all in general. Finally settling down we all decided on going to the Italian restaurant that caught our eye whilst we were coming back.  

“Noémie you should wear your white dress and those black heels gurlfwend” Ria said with a fake American accent. This girl was completely crazy. She was wearing high waist jeans with a white blouse and nude red bottoms, whilst me and Ria finished Althea was still struggling on what to wear simply because she thought nothing worked and deciding on just wearing her black jumpsuit and adding on some accessories to make the out more sophisticated and adding on some black heels we were finally out the house and on our way to the restaurant.

The Restaurant combined of both traditional with hints modernity in an exceptional way. The interior was very unique and fragments of old walls were preserved and they were ingeniously blended with the modern decor. They mainly serve traditional Italian cuisine along with variety of foods according to the season.

“Hello, welcome to Mamma Mia. A table for how many?” the waitress said. When I say wow I mean wow because this boy was looking really handsome.

“Can we get a table for 3 please” Althea answered, because I knew I wasn’t going to answer since I was technically daydreaming about this handsome Italian god in front of me.

“We only have one table and that’s in the middle and I hope that’s alright for you 3 beautiful ladies” he asked giving us a really cute boyish smile.

“Yeah that would be great thank you” Althea said. During this conversation between Althea and the handsome waitress we were finally led to our table. Sitting on the table was the funniest experience of my life due to finding it was actually one of the best table as well as the most expensive tables. The food was amazing, the lasagna was simply the best I’ve ate. During our Italian fest we complimented every single one of the staff, dishwasher and the chef since everything was simply perfect. Sitting there and laughing with these two sillies made me realized how much I missed out on simply because of him but now I was  going to gain those years back I guess. All of this thinking suddenly crashed when this sexy man caught my eye.

When I meant wow I meant lord have mercy on ovaries because new underwear was needed.
