Handsome hunk

Everything has been going great for Arianna, even after spending a week on campus. She always thanked fate for bringing her to meet her wonderful friends, who helped her without asking for anything.

After that episode with the crown prince, she found herself always thinking about him, especially after placing her palm on his lips; those soft lips of his.

She always wondered how it would feel like to kiss them, have her arms wrapped around his neck while her fingers brushed his soft silky hair as his lips devoured her mouth.

"Okay class, that will be all for today." The professor's voice snapped her back from her thoughts. Arianna groaned as she facepalmed herself, what was she thinking? Getting distracted while class was going on and worst of all, she was thinking about the prince's lips.

"Ari!" Zoey shook her, brining her attention to her.

"Hmm." She blinked her eyes.

"What were you thinking? I've been calling you for some time now, but your mind has been else where, are you alright?" Zoey asked, while arranging her books in her bag.

'No, I'm not. I can't stop thinking about the crown prince and his lips.' She wanted to yell out, but couldn't.

"Yes, I'm fine." Zoey stared at her quizzically, like she didn't buy whatever she was saying.

"I'm fine, Zoey, believe me." Zoey snorted.

"I will only believe you if you haven't been absentminded for the whole week, tell me Arianna, what are you thinking about? Is it about your mum and brother back home? If you'd like, I can help you with some money or…." She cuts in with wide eyes.

"No, it's not about my family, and thanks for your offer by the way." She was grateful for her concern, but she wouldn't ask for financial help from her fellow course mate or friends.

"Then what's it about?" Zoey folded her hands on her chest, waiting patiently for her answer.

"Nothing is bothering me Zoey, if I have anything on my mind that I can't settle, then I'll definitely let you know." Zoey sighed, nodding her head.

"Alright, let's go, I'm tired." Zoey dragged her out of the hall, they took the walkway back to their dorm, and immediately they got in Zoey squealed, dropping herself on her bed.

"Great, we're free for the whole of the day." Arianna shook her head at her childish behavior, although she too was happy about not having another class for the day. Arianna went to her wardrobe and took a bum short and a crop top before changing into it.

"Good for you." Amaya snorted, picking her bag up. One could tell she was leaving the dorm, Arianna wondered how it was possible for them to leave the dorm at any time and also return. Specks of having rich parents.

"Babes, I'll come back late today, but if I don't return, don't call me." Amy said, adjusting her dress.

"Why?"

"Because I'm going on a date with Mase like you guys suggested." She muttered like she wasn't too sure about this date.

"Ooh, you guys have endearing names for each other, I can see your relationship is moving really fast." Zoey teased, raising her head from her pillow, and they laughed.

"I bet someone is long her V tonight." Kat added, chuckling evilly with her eyes full of mischief.

"Shut up Katy! We aren't doing all of that." She was already blushing while the girls giggled.

"Oh, we'll see."

"Whatever." She waved her hands then walked to the door. Arianna got up and pulled the both of them in a hug.

"Bye girls, we'll miss you." Katrina have her a pat on her head.

"We know baby, but don't miss mama too much, huh." She giggled, shaking her head as they went out.

"Mama, my foot." Zoey muttered.

Arianna went back to her bed and took a book out.

"Ari, what're we going to do? I'm bored."

"I don't know, study for some time." Zoey groaned.

"Are you a bookworm, don't you get tired of studying all the time?" She shrugged and replied with a no.

"But I can't…." Her phone dinged with an incoming message, and as she picked it up, she smiled.

"Okay Ari, Since you're so engrossed in your books and don't want to do anything else then it's fine, Jason just asked me out." She got up and walked to the bathroom, then came out a few minutes later clad in a yellow floral dress, with her hair neatly packed in a ponytail.

"So how do I look." She twirled around, waiting for Arianna to comment.

"Stunning!" She blushed, putting in a pair of pumps.

"Aww, thanks Ari, bye see you later." She picked her bags then rushed out.

Arianna was busy studying some works from her syllables when the door opened and sighed when she thought Zoey had forgotten one thing or came to change.

"Zoey, What did you forget this time?" She asked, but when she didn't hear any reply, she got up and walked towards the door and was startled when she saw a handsome hunk standing in the room. She gasped as she stared at him more closely, something about the gentleman looked so familiar, that she thought she had seen him somewhere. With his sculptured face, pointy nose, full lips that look kissable and his dark mane that fell over one of his eyes, god he looked so ravishingly.

Arianna subconsciously licked her lips while staring at him, her heart was beating like a party drum.

"Hmm, who are you?" She asked after getting her bearing, but the man standing by the door didn't say anything, he was just staring at her weirdly. His eyes shone for a while before it went back to their size, and Arianna really found that sexy. And strange.

She clears her throat, bringing him out from whatever thought he was. "Excuse me, sir, can you tell me what you're doing here."

Even though she didn't know the man standing in the same room with her, she wasn't for one bit scared about him hurting her, instead, she felt protected. A surge of warmth flowed through her when their gazes met.

"Where is Rina?" Arianna melted when he spoke, gadd his voice was doing things to her.

"Who?" She asked with difficulty, trying not to moan.

"Where is Katrina?" He asked again, studying the girl before him.

"She went for her classes, but can I know who you're and why you're looking for her?" He scoffed, before replying.

"You don't need to know who I am, and next time don't come out dressed like this to meet a man. Who knows what's going to happen if it were someone else, not all men have self-control?" After saying that, he didn't wait for any reply and barged out, leaving a gobsmacked Arianna.

'What the hell! What just happened?' She asked herself, still staring at the closed door.

'He didn't just walk out before I could say anything, and who was he?' She looked at herself and blushed hard. Furthermore, she just realized she came to meet him with just a bum short and a crop top, and the worst part was that she wasn't putting on a bra.

She smacked herself, but then paused.

'Why does that man look so familiar?' She couldn't pinpoint it, but she had met him somewhere. She sighed when she was unable to remember where she had seen him before, she just shrugged and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for herself, Kat and maybe Zoey when she came back.

After preparing lunch, she ate and retired to bed since she was tired and sleepy. There was no harm in getting some sleep before the girls come back.

***

Arianna stirred awake, yawning loudly and gasped when she saw it was almost four, she slept for four hours.

"You're up." She snapped her head to the bathroom for where Kat was coming out and, as usual, in just her undies.

"When did you come back and have you eaten." She rubbed her eyes, which were still heavy with sleep.

"I came back a few minutes ago when you were sleeping like a log and yes, I've eaten chef." Katrina winked.

"Before I forget, someone dude came for you."

Katrina nodded and said. "Yeah, my brother, he called me." Arianna eyes widened, that was her brother though he was handsome, but he was too serious like the whole world was on his shoulders.

"That was your brother?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"He came in without knocking like he owns the place, looking all serious like the whole world owes him money and when I asked who he was, he said that I didn't need to know him and the most embarrassing part was that I answered him in just a bum short and a crop top; he said that I shouldn't come out like this to meet a man because not all men has self-control." She rambles. Katrina burst into laughter.

"I'm serious, Kat, your brother was annoying." And too handsome, but she didn't add that part.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay, so my brother saw you in a bum short and crop top, and he said all that to you, umm that's good." She nodded thoughtfully.

"Good?" She frowned.

"Yes, it's good. That means that my brother cares for you, and maybe he's jealous." Kat added, this was the first time she was hearing about something like that of her brother, so she really needs to find out more why he showed his interest in Arianna.

"Care for me and jealous, Kat, we barely know each other." She rolled her eyes.

They just met, and she was talking about him caring for her and feeling j…jealous.

"I know you both just met but trust me when I say my brother hasn't said something like this to any girl. Even when women throw themselves at him, he doesn't look at them twice and from what you said I can tell he told you that because he was tempted to either kiss you or…" she paused, wiggling her brows and Arianna blushed.

"None of that is happening, you're just exaggerating."

"Don't lie to me Arianna, tell me you didn't find him cute"

"Who?"

"My brother."

Arianna blushed more, she did really find him cute.

"Ria, you're blushing, no need to answer, I know your answer already. Do you like him, you can tell me and I can set you up for a date with him.?

Arianna couldn't take her teasing anymore. "Kat!" Kat laughed.

"Okay I'll stop, but you really need a boyfriend." She suggested.

"Nope, I'm good."

"Suit yourself, dear, I'm tired. I need to go to bed early because I have an early class tomorrow."

"Alright, Good night." She shook her head, it was too early to go to bed but seeing how tired Kat was, she couldn't say anything.
