💑Chapter 5💑

💎Alice's POV💎

    I bit my lower lips to control my nervousness as I flipped the pages of my Economics textbook. I noticed his eyes were on me again but I was too nervous to look at him.

    "Did you find anything?" He whispered placing his two arms on the table.

     "Yes, let's study this topic, Money" I replied as I pointed at the topic in my textbook, I gave it to him, he looked through it and I looked at him.

    He is cute, no doubt but he seems shy to me.

    "I'm not with my textbook right now. Can we share?" He gave me a pleading face.

    "No problem" I whispered bringing out my notebook.

     We were at the library. After Charles told me to help with the fine art assignment, he pleaded for me to study with him at the library, I agreed and here we are.

     "What's your name?" I heard Charles ask, I looked at him.

     "I'm sorry. I'm Charles and you are?"

     "Alice" I replied with a smile. I'm used to smiling. Mum has a degree in smiling, that's her signature.

    "You are beautiful" He muttered. If I wasn't paying attention I wouldn't have heard it. He probably didn't want me to hear it.

    "What did you say?" I asked trying to play dumb.

    "Oh, I said you have a nice name" He lied and chuckled nervously.

    "I will say thank you to both compliments"

    "Wait, you heard that?" he smiled while I gave him a nod in affirmative. "I'm sorry".

     "You don't have to be. Let's leave the whole introduction drama and face what we came here for" I gave him a fleeting smile. I was nervous cause my heart kept racing uncontrollably.

    "But....." He paused. I was beginning to wonder if he was contemplating on what to say.

     I was about to ask him to complete his statement when he continued "Can we have lunch together? Please don't say no".

     My heart skipped twice or thrice or more, my whole mind screamed No!!! But "yes" fell out from my lips. I watched as he smiled, gathered his books in his bag and left the library. I scratched my head.

    "Gosh! I'm going to spend 30 minutes in nervousness"

     "Could my life get any better without troubles or complications?" I murmured as I squeezed the sheet of paper in my hands. I kept it back in my locker and brought out my commerce textbook. I placed it on my table and pretended like I was listening to Miss Aishat, my commerce teacher.

    I was already in the classroom after having lunch with Charles. I could have sworn I would die of nervousness, Eniola was not there to calm my nerves.

    Charles practically asked me about my life history from my dad death to my mum and I struggles, then my previous school. I strangely felt safe around him. I studied him, he seems to be a guy with few words. He didn't say much. Now that I think of it, he didn't say anything about himself apart from his name and age, and basically what made him popular at school which was his superb talent at football, his good looks and high grades. He talked a lot about that, I guess it was highly important to him.
