What Love Is

The Mind

"You did what!!?" Sandra screamed at me in horror. I told her everything that happened to me in the morning and she looked petrified.
"Keep your squeaky voice down, Siren!!" I whispered after receiving glares from people passing by. We were currently at the student cafe in the business school.
"You call me a Siren when you acted like a total heartless robot 2 hours ago! ,And why did you laugh! , Kayla are you insane?"Her look of worry and wonder was just priceless. She smacked me on the arm as I stiffled a laugh.
"Ohw!! , calm down , I don't know okay ..I wasn't thinking"I finally stopped smiling , something I seemed to have kept doing since I entered the lecture hall late and even through out my tutorials after the lecture. It all came back to me , I had this feeling that I was going to see him again , hence the smile but what the heck gave me such enthusiasm.
"Kayla Wills! , stop doing that! Don't you get lost in your thoughts! , not now" Sandra warned and smacked me harder this time , I winced out in pain.
"Imagine what Caesar thinks of you right now , I mean you being crazy is a thing of the past, but it was stupid of you to run off"She finally took a sip of her ordered Cranberry juice. She cringed at the taste.
"What?" I asked .
"I'm not a fan of cranberry juice"She confessed.
"Then why the hell did you order for it?"I stared at her mockingly.
"Quit looking at me like that , I wasn't thinking straight after all that you just told me"She pushed the glass to my side and snatched my glass of apple juice.
"You see the mind works on its own sometimes?" I giggled, taking a sip of the cranberry juice , it was good.
"Shut up , my mind is fine and yours isn't.and there's no such thing as the mind thinking on its own Aniya "She rolled her eyes.
"Oh really? , you weren't there Sandra, I was told to run"I defended my statement.
"It's called a subconscious mind, stupid lady" She faked a British accent. I cackled at her effort and wondered if she was right.
"I'm right"She said.
"Wait , how.."I stared at her shockingly.
"that's called being smarter than you Miss Wills"She winked and run out knowing I'd chase after her for saying that.
I suddenly smelled the familiar cologne and froze.
"Kayla?.."Sandra turned back to look at me .
"He's here...oh my ! , He's here"I stuttered.
"Who? , Jerry?" She walked to me.
"No ,Tom"I said sarcastically , annoyed at her ignorance.
"Wait? ..Caesar?"She finally understood my frozen state.
" Girl! , get a hold of yourself and act normal , now point that living sculpture out to me"She hissed at me .
"I don't see him , I smell him"I stuttered again , looking from my left to right.
"What? , are you a dog now?"She mocked me.
"Sandra Robertson! "I gave her a good glare.
"FINE, FINE ..go around smelling  the potential man of your dreams like it's a hobby"She nodded at me , then froze too.
"K?.."This guy actually thought I was named K?.No. I had to clear this out ,I wasn't born into a family of alphabets.
"No Caesar,It's actually Kayla "I rapidly said , gazing at his perfectly tailored suit I failed to notice this morning.
Bravo! Kayla ,such eloquence.

"I'm glad you still remember my name Cinderella"He was searching my face , literally searching. I felt hot , totally uneasy.
"What? , Cinderella?"I tried to look elsewhere.
"Well you did run off"He grinned, showing two pair of dimples . Having so many great features should be illegal!
I realized I hadn't replied.
"Please speak ,I'm starting to wonder if I'm having that effect on you "He placed his hands in his pocket and glanced over me.
"Erh , Hi?"He spoke.
"Ola!" I heard Sandra's nervous voice. Ola? ,when did she turn Spanish?.
"You must be her friend"He shook Sandra's hand.
"Yes I am ,the name is Sandra"I heard her pretending-not-to-be-nervous voice.
The rest of their two minutes conversation was a blur. I needed to stop acting like this.
"Erm , Caesar , what are you doing here?" I decided to act like the eighteen years old female that I was.
"And she finally speaks"He slightly turns to face me. I look into his dark brown eyes .He notices and seems to feel uneasy..he slyly looks away but I wasn't going to let it slide.
"Now stranger, don't tell me I have an effect on you too" I said before completely realizing I did.
He looked at me, clearly intrigued.
"Hy Banks! ,there you are , let's get going"My French lecturer called out to Caesar.
"...I'm going to find you again Miss K , I don't know how but I will."He huskily said before walking out the premises with the lecturer. Sandra and I watched them as they got in the car and drove off .
"Damn..."Sandra gasped.
"....."you got that right I was speechless.
