Chapter 3 FALLING IN LOVE

CHAPTER 3

We all walked towards the hospital without speaking to each other. On arrival we were told that she is fine and we had to wait for her outside for few minutes. "Terry in love with me?? What is love really? I have never fallen in love the whole of my twenty two years... I used to read about love in novels like 'After' where Hardin and Tessa fell in love in a mysterious way ..."pride of prejudice"...and "Romeo and Juliet "who made me hate love since love made them die. No way can't I love anyone. I can't die for anyone...the way harden went a long way to marry Tessa. All those years...no way this lady is not in love with me... No way... The way we hated each other?? But unlike terms attract. Tessa hated harden, but no way, I had hated love" I sat there thinking about love and its consequences...Betrayal and all thing. yes i was a fuck boy but I have never thought of love or settling with someone...my thoughts were disrupted by mercy who was telling me it's time to home. On our way, terry was staring at me in a weird, hatred, warning look. I excused myself and left since I didn't want to discuss any matter with them. Back to my cube i found Manu on the floor lying helplessly. Nothing mattered since I was used to his behavior, not once or twice had i warned him for overdrinking and all he could do is promise me that tomorrow he will limit himself of which promises he did not fulfil. I planned to revise prior to principles cats which were to be done the following week. Sincerely speaking, I wasted my two hours reading nothing, my mind had been carried away by the thoughts of love. I laughed at terry who believed there was love .After that i slept since I had nowhere to go. Later Manu woke me so that we could prepare and go for supper. I waited for him since i saw no need to take a shower since I had one with Sheila. After he was done I told him I needed a drink one or two since my mind was not right and I had many thoughts. He asked me if we can buy and come with them to the cube which I saw as a good idea because i needed a moment to think. We bought some bottles of beer since I was not in the mood of heavy drinks and parked food. After we were done we were all carried away by the beers and we started dancing. That was our behavior whenever we were drunk. We would switch on the radio to the highest volume and start dancing. We would later be called by the dean of students and be warned against disturbing other students who needed to study and all we could do is say sorry and promise never to repeat again. This time the moment was interrupted by a text which made me come back to my senses. It was a text from terry.

It was a call from terry. This made the alcohol inside my mind to drain. "Yoh bro what's up?" Manu asked me because i was shaking and sweating all over my body. I rejected the first three calls but terry was reluctant. The forth call Manu decided to pick of which I could not object.

"Hello love, am sorry about today's behavior and the trouble i caused you, I shall pay you back," Terry said but before she could proceed Manu told her that I wasn't feeling well and I was unable to pick the call. Terry in panic started asking what happened to me and I winked to Manu and he understood what meant, he hanged up the call. "Why am i even fearing?? Am I also in love? What's up with me? Why am I acting so weird about a call?? I think I should try love this girl for once! "I said to myself and agreed to give it a trial. Then a message dodged on my phone only to find its terry asking Manu to take me outside and that she is coming with a van to rush me to the hospital. Before I could reply, she had already called. Manu had dozed off due to the bear and so i gathered courage and accepted the call. By lack she did not realize the voice and what she said was bring him to the gate of which i wondered if I should go or not. I switched off my phone and retired to bed. On waking up, I saw terry sited next on my bed. (No, who the hell did bring her here?? How and what Happened to bring her here) "Trevor, yesterday i was told you were so sick and on arrival your phone went off and so I asked around if anyone knew you only to find that you were so drank and you told me some words of which I couldn't understand

.I stayed here with you all night and didn't sleep just admiring you. Have you ever been told you look cute when drunk??" Terry asked in admiration. I was all long quiet as i gazed at her. "Trevor I love you" those were the words that made me wake up. I Donna what was special in those words since I was used to hearing them not once. Terry came closer and gave me a peck. I took her left arm and placed it on my chest. "Can you feel how my heart is cascading?" I asked her. My heart was beating so rapidly and that's when I realized I was sweating. The rate of heartbeat was directly proportional to the rate of sweat. Terry stared at me in shock. She came closer and hugged me. "Terry I love you too"... I hugged her tight, I felt her breath and heartbeat which felt like a lyric.. I had FALLEN IN LOVE
