SKIRT OF IMMORTALITY

Chapter 22

The moment I saw him, I stood up and ran to hug him. He did the same and then I kissed him.

He gave me the flower to which I received with all joy and gratitude.

I then realized my girls were around and so I introduced him to them and them to him.

We gave him a place to sit and then we all began to discuss random topics. He was really amazing, intelligent and the way he speaks is just different.

Would I ever regret dating him? I doubt that!

He then offered to take me out to which I agreed. He waited as I got dressed. Philomina was able to dress me up to the best way she thinks he would like.

"So where are we going to?" I asked after we went out of the hostel

"Outside the gate" he replied with a smile

"Outside the get is really not the name of a place. Hope you know that?" I asked while looking at him

"Babe, just trust me" he said with a smile

"Awwwn... He called me babe" I said in my mind

The place we went wasn't really far from the school gate. It was a nice restaurant, a very standard one.

"Eric, isn't this place too much?" I asked

"What do you mean?"

"Wouldn't it be expensive?"

"You are worth it my dear" he said as he took me by the hand and then we located an empty table to which we were greeted by a lady in white which was obvious to be her uniform.

"What would you like to order Sir/Ma'am" the lady asked

I was feeling good already because of the way she addressed us.

"Please can we have the menu list" Eric asked

She brought out a pamphlet and handed it over to Eric. He selected what he wanted and I did the same before she left.

She brought our orders within seconds.

"Wow! So fast!" I said while she smiled

"That's why I love this place" Eric said and then she smiled and left

"Let me ask you a question. How many girls have you brought here before?"

He smiled while I looked at him, waiting for a positive answer.

"Well, Just two girls" he replied

"Wtf!" I said pretended to be sad.

He began to laugh.

"Oh! So it's funny to you right?" I said pretentiously angry

"Ok...ok calm down. It was my mother when she came to visit and was looking for where to eat and then you are the second person"

"Are you sure?" I asked

"One thousand percent my love" he replied

And then I began to smile.

"Now, can we eat?" He asked

" yes, please go ahead" I replied

We ate and drank and then talked about a lot of things. Even though I was tempted to tell him about my ongoing plans and what has been happening to me in school, I still remembered what my lady told me and so I kept holding myself against it.

My phone rang immediately we went out of the restaurant. I took a look and it was a text message from Mr. Lecturer.

He sent the address and timing.

"Hmmm... Tomorrow" I thought aloud unknowingly

"What did you say?" Eric asked

"Oh, nothing! Don't mind me" I lied

We got to his house and then I we both slept off after some pillow fights and some plays.

I woke up after a long sleep but guess what? It was night already and Eric was still fast asleep.

I didn't know what to do because I haven't slept out before. I had to go back to my hostel.

I was about to get off the bed when I felt a hand holding me back. It was Eric.

"Please don't go. Just stay with me for only tonight, Please!"

His eyes were still closed but his speech was melting my hand. Even though I tried to resist it but at the end I couldn't, I gave up.

And then he began to kiss me and romance me so much more that I couldn't wait for him to make love to me.

Just as I wished, we made love but the word TOMORROW kept ringing in my mind.
