SKIRT OF IMMORTALITY

Chapter 21

I was sure that people were looking at us while we were kissing but I don't give a fuck.

"Where have you been?" I asked after we stopped kissing but he just smiled

"Why are you smiling?" I asked again

"Nothing! Actually, I was behind you all these while and wanted to just look at you from some distance" he said

"But why?" I asked

"Nothing! Just like that. I felt like seeing you from afar and I really enjoyed the view. I came because I could see how you kept scanning the whole class. It was obvious that you were looking for Eric"

I laughed and then we discussed about random issues before the lecturer finally came in.

Eric wouldn't let me concentrate as he kept staring at me.

"Wtf! Look at the Lecturer" I whispered to him but he just smiled and continued looking at me.

Through out the classes we had that day, Eric was just busy making me smile and blush.

"The lecturer is gonna pick a hotel not too far away from the school and guess what?

" what?" I asked

"That would be the mistakes that he would make. I want us to disgrace him and reveal the deepest thing he has done to you so that he would suffer for it.

" and how do you intend to do that" I asked

"Here is where we need your room mates and also where you would know who is for you and or against you. Make them assemble their own friends somewhere around the hotel so that they would all see and capture the moment both of you enter the hotel in cameras

" To do that, I would have to tell them what he has done to me and why I want them to do such a thing" I said

"Well, tell them whatever you want to tell them but leave out the rape scenario"

"How and why?" I asked

"You ask too much questions. Just leave it out because I have a plan for that. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I do but when do you think it would happen?" I asked

"Whenever he sends the location of the hotel but you must tell your room mates as soon as possible"

And then Eric came to my mind.

"Don't involve him in this matter"

"Involve who?" I asked

"The person you are thinking of. Keep it away from him"

"But wouldn't he feel bad when he gets to hear the news after the whole plan works out?"

"He would understand the situation. I repeat, keep him away from it"

That was when I woke up from my long dream and it was morning already.

I saw my room mates drinking tea, gisting and laughing but I didn't know how to start the conversation.

"Hey girls!" I said with a smile

"Oh you are awake!" Gina said

"You were busy sleeping like a dead person" said Philomina

"I have something important to discuss with you girls. I sincerely need your help in this important matter"

And that was how I explained everything to them and I was surprised to see how energetic they all were to help expose Mr. Richard.

I was happy because it wasn't as difficult as I thought and then my phone beeped. It was a text message from Eric to whom I saved his number with HEAVEN ON EARTH.

The text message reads:
Since you came into my life, I no longer need the alarm clock. I can’t wait to wake up very early in the morning, just to show you how much I love you.

I smiled and was blushing already and then I replied his text with:

"The only thing I need in this world is having you by my side and count on all your love. You make me stronger: with you, I feel I can achieve anything I want. You give sense to my existence"

"Na that boy again abi?" Philomina asked

I just smiled and then we heard a knock on the door. Philomina got up to open the door.

We were looking at the door and then she suddenly shifted away from the door and then to my greatest surprise, Eric was standing there, with a smile on his face while holding a bunch of flowers.
