14 - My Life At Campus (||)

At exactly 6pm, I dialed Mr Gbanjo's number, and it went through.

"Good day sir." I said slowly.

"Good day. Who is on the line?

" It's Florence sir."

"Yes. Are you on your way?" I was silent.

"Am I talking to a living?"

"Sir, I am on my way." I simply said.

"Alright. I am waiting at the hotel room. Room number 15, by the way." I ended the call.

"Monster!" I screamed. I collapsed on my bed as tears streamed down my face.

I took a deep breath, and stood up to dress. I dressed in a black knee length gown, picked up my purse and left.

I knocked on room 15.

"Florence if that's you, then come in."

I walked in gently, and closed the door. I couldn't look at his face, so I just starred at the floor.

"How are you? Take your seat." He said, grinning. I fearfully took my seat. He drew closer to me and placed his large arm around me.

"You look really good. And your beautiful. You see, we should drink and relax a little before we get to the fun part." He said and winked. I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and spoke in anger.

"Listen to me old man, I didn't come here for games! Let's get this thing over with, since that's what you want. I have things to do." He smirked.

"Easy young girl. I was only trying to be friendly. Anyway, I guess my offer is of no use. Let's get to business then."

The deed was done. I came down from the bed and put on my clothes. I turned and spoke to him, while he still sat in bed.

"You're not even a Virgin! Virgins are sweeter on bed." I looked at him with contempt.

"I don't blame you at all. But listen to me, Mr lecturer. You have used me for your selfish desire. You will never get away with this! Nemesis will certainly catch up with you, mark my words!" I said in a fit of rage and left the room. He laughed.

" Just an empty buzz. Not the first one I'm hearing. " He hissed and continued his drinking.

Days later, I just couldn't believe what had happen to me. I couldn't even narrate anything to Faith. I just wanted everything to slip by.

Dubem, asked that we should meet up. I reluctantly accepted, and we met up at a cold store.

We ordered our ice creams, and seconds later, we were served.

"So how have you been dear?" He asked with concern.

"Yeah have been good. Thanks." I said and took a full spoon of my ice cream. He studied me carefully.

"That voice doesn't sound like one who is alright." I stopped taking my ice cream and gave him an unfriendly stare.

"I said, I'm good! Don't question me on that again." I said and resumed licking my ice cream.

"Hey... I am sorry if am interfering. I can't help but be worried. The first time I met this beauty, she was lost in a world of problems. At least may I know what was actually troubling you then?" I gave up, hiding things from him.

"Alright, Okay!" I sighed.

"You're right. I... I have lot of stuffs going on around me. Especially the one I went through recently."

"Its okay dear. What ever you are going through, just take it easy. I am here for you." I felt my cheeks flush at his show of concern and care.

"Well... One my lecturers... One of them took advantage of me. He slept with me because I needed him to help me pass his test that I failed woefully. It hurts... But I guess that's 'the trend' here on campus." Dubem couldn't hide his shock.

"Oh my God, What! Florence if you had told me, I would have helped you work something out." I fiddled with my spoon.

"Yeah... But I couldn't just come out like that and start telling a stranger my problems."

He sighed and shook his head.

"But... How did you know I was having some troubles?"

"Well, I'm studying Psychology. I aspire to be a therapist. That is actually our field of study, to know and understand the minds of humans."

"Oh, I see." I said, and he placed his hand on mine, causing me to shiver.

"It's well dear."
