Who do I trust

Christian

Christian was the type of boyfriend with a flawless character traits, like the ones you would find in romance books when you are reading a novel about love and you feel like 'that should be my boyfriend' well I had myself that type of boyfriend.

He had thick black hair, it always had thee perfect smell like he used his own special shampoo, it looked clean at all times and he would brush against it to push it slightly back whenever he starts brainstorming of strategic solutions.

He wore prescription eye glasses like any other genius computer geek you would run into, he had dark blue eyes which is a rare occurrence.

I remember the first time I laid my eyes on him in a class we both attended, I starred for a while as he was conversing with his friends before the class commenced and when he looked back, he noticed me starring at him and we both locked eyes for a few seconds before I quickly got myself out of that limbo, I thought he was wearing eye contacts every time I would see him in the Information Systems class up until we started hanging out.

Our first interaction was made awkward by my then introverted nature, a few weeks after locking eyes with this mysterious guy he approached me, I was on my phone looking at what Tatiana Maslany was up to on instagram as she was my favourite celebrity at the time after watching three seasons of Orphan Black, I was gazing and scrolling past some of her pictures and that's when he stood next to my computer screen, "What are you up to?" He asked in a friendly manner, before I could raise my head to see who this guy who could be trying to start a conversation with me was I saw his waist, it was a little above my head that's when I thought "this guy is tall" and looked up, Christian is about 6'3 and he was around 19 years old at that time, I then thought to myself again "well, it's that cute guy, answer him already" I quickly switched off my cellphone screen as I responded "I'm not really doing anything important" he gave me a smile and said "well we need to do something about that, what's your name?" a voice in the back of my head screamed out with excitement "he is in to you", "my name, Lizz- , Liz-...it's Elizabeth" I responded as I stuttered at the same time "when did I develop stutters, I will blow this" I said to myself, "Elizabeth Liz- that's a cute name, how about I take you to lunch today?" said Christian with the same smile he had when he initiated the conversation, "I don't think that's a good I idea, see I have a test I have to prepare for and it's tomorrow" I responded as I started looking around for someone to rescue me "where's the lecturer, if I go out to lunch with this guy he might see through me on how I'm not that cool" I kept saying to myself, Christian was unfazed and concluded by saying "Don't worry, I know there aren't tests this week, but I will ask you again before the week ends" as he walked away to his computer seat.

I had even lost control of my breathing pattern, I didn't know it at the time but I think he was my crush, I saw him again in the two following week days and I was awaiting for him to approach me as his last words were "I will ask you again before the week ends" and that was on Tuesday, today it's Friday and there's no IS class on Friday, I started blaming myself "maybe I should have went with him to lunch that day, or maybe even gave him my cellphone numbers to reach me" I had conflicting thoughts as I drank my tea from Starbucks while sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree behind the science library, and at that point in time I didn't even know his name but I could describe his every physical and facial features to a police artist sketcher and they would make him out as if I had his picture with me all this time.

I decided to head home as the university was only 20 minutes away from my house, I would catch the school bus back home from the campus bus stop, the queue on Fridays wasn't hectic at all, we would wait for only 10 to 15 minutes before the next bus comes around, as I was waiting in line with my earphones plugged in which I was listening to 'breathless' by Kenny G, the way he plays the instrument (saxophone) had me locked in, the song had no lyrics for a sing along but it spoke directly to the heart, you could feel what the artist was feeling as he held that instrument and composed this song, lol I listen to Jazz but most of the time I love listening to bands of all genres as long as the music is good, I saw someone walking my way so I had to look at who it was, "it's him, keep calm" I said to myself as I was in shock and nervous, I thought I wouldn't see him since we had no IS class, "Hey you, Lizz right? I have been looking for you all around campus, I'm glad I found you" said Christian in the most nonchalant manner, "You were looking for me?" I replied in disbelief, "Don't be so casual, of course I was looking for you, you lied to me on Tuesday about a non existent test and guess what? Today we have a date, like right now" said Christian with that charming smile stretched wide on his face, "Sorry for that, I don't even know your name" I replied as I accepted the situation as it was "this guy didn't give up, he was even looking for me, the date might be a great idea" I convinced myself, "oh my name, I'm Christian, Christian Smith...so let's go, my car is over there" said Christian as he pointed at a white minivan that was packed only 2 minutes away from the bus stop. "Okay let's go" I replied as I looked into his face with a smile...well that's how I met Christian.
