It couldn't have been more better than my boo has made me feel...at peace from the daily dose of stress that my school and family has been serving me.

I just needed a break, a fresh breeze on my brain and just a little time off from everything around me.


It's February 14th and I've received a lovely and heartwarming Valentine message from my baby and a special package of course. I thought that was all, since we stay states apart and I couldn't have asked for more.

But you know what?? The greatest surprise I received was not the gifts, but his presence.

What! How??

I don't know either! All I knew was that I received a call from someone that I have another package from him, alas himself was the package!

All the way from portharcourt to lagos?? Just to spend the day with me.

Wow, I couldn't get myself off this urge surprise, it's an imagination comes true because I never dreamt of his presence.

What more could I ask for since all I needed was him to start with.

I went in to my room after a long hug and a little catch-up tales to change into the lovely dress he got me for a lunch date, and he got the correct size.

I bid my roommate who had never say hello to love a goodbye after telling her to eat the food from the food tray that was brought earlier since I won't be back soon to devour it.

 Meanwhile, my roommate doesn't like hearing about love or anything near it. I don't know the story behind this, but she gives no access of friendship to guys not to talk of love....

   Well, the day was long, long enough that we don't know when time skipped pass us, yet I wanted it to continue because it's been months and only God knows till when.

He dropped me off at my place before he left for his friend's place where he lodged.

I was so tired as I entered my room and everything in my head was just to dump myself on the bed just as I am once I enter the room, but....

"He said he loves me'' said my roommate with excitement written all over her face

"Love you"? 

"Who"

"He said he loves me"

"He said he loves me" she kept echoing it in my ears

I was lost, dumbfounded and couldn't digest exactly what had happened before my arrival nor what's going on.

I just dropped my bag, sat on the floor with my eyes gazed at her smiling face.

I think this is the very first time I'm seeing her smile, and it's so beautiful. She has never said anything positive about love prior to this time...

So, this must be true then!

Wow!

"Congratulations"!

"I'm happy for you "

Well, I got a bigger smile as a thank you as I pulled myself up.

I don't know who made this happen, and I don't want to meddle into what she's obviously not ready to share. Regardless, it gladens my heart that she was receptive to love as though she will remain a nun till eternity.

But, I guess, AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE ALL WANT LOVE!!
