Leonard walked to the cafeteria to have some snacks, he wished Roxanne was by his side. It had been six good months they met. Many ladies at the cafeteria started to drool over him some winked at him while some gave him funny look. He bought fruit juice with potatoes chips before going back to his house.
He laid gently on the bed but being disturbed by what to write in another story he planned on writing. He was studying playwright and novelist and he had wrote many stories which typically based on love.
He went to his drawer and brought out a notebook and a pen. He finally settled for a story "two love birds" which was dedicated to Roxanne.
Three years later
Port Harcourt
At Roxanne's hostel, Roxanne sat on her study chair jotting down some lyrics when her two friends came in to disturb her.
"Ain't you going to school today?" Asked peace.
"Yeah". She muttered.
"Why"? Glory asked
"As you can see I'm busy right now and for your information I'm going to the studio this morning so, don't query me ". She said walking up to her wardrobe to change her clothes.
"Heh Goodness said I should gave this to you ". Glory said showing her the wrapped thing to her.
"Return it to him, I don't need ". Roxanne exclaimed.
"Why did you close your heart heh? I got you wrong since over three years we've been friends. I never for once see any man with you. Something is wrong with you". Shouted Glory.
"What is your problem Glory, she had warned you several times to stop prickling on her neck for useless things ". Peace shouted.
"You understand me better Peace than Glory, one day I'm gonna invite my boyfriend here don't worry ". She smiled.
"What makes you think he's not with another baby there. You just make fool of yourself for trusting a guy ". Said Glory and Roxanne seems to be lost in thoughts about what Glory just said.
"Don't give a doubt to it, she is jealous". Convinced Peace .
"I know my man he can't cheats on me. I'm blessed with him ". Roxanne assured.
"I'm sure you are as stupid as Peace ". Said Glory.
"Thanks let us be ". They both chorused.
"I need to go, I will be late for studio and as for you I don't think you have early class ". Roxanne said and left.
She walked towards her car and zoomed off to the studio with her lyrics.
The studio was as bored as hell to her. She walked tiredly to her room. She sat down on her bed worked up when she heard a knock.
"Who is there?" She asked nonchalantly.
"Peace and Glory ". They both said in unison.
"Okay, come in ".
"You look bored any problem?" She asked.
"Our professional song writer, I hope the studio went well? " Peace also asked.
"Yeah, just bored ". She replied.
"Goodness won't stop...." Glory was about to talk when Roxanne snapped.
"Don't start. I told you already I can't date him ". She snapped.
"Is that how much you trust your boyfriend that is in Abuja, don't you think about the distance. You will see how foolish you are when you see him with another baby." Shouted Glory annoyingly.
"You have a big problem Glory. Can't you date him instead of frustrating us here." Peace yelled at her.
They heard a knock on the door.
"I will get it ". Peace said. She got to the door and opened it which revealed a cute and handsome guy looking dazzling like a crystal.
"Are you lost ". Asked peace.
"No. Is this not Roxanne's room?" He asked.
"Oh! You are right this is her room " . Peace said drooling over him as she opened the door wide for him to enter.
As soon as Roxanne saw the figure her mouth left agape.
"Leo? Leo you didn't tell me you are going to visit me." Roxanne beamed as she embrace him warmly.
"I just want to surprise you". He laughed.
"What a surprise? Leo meet my friend Peace and Glory and girls meet my boyfriend Leonard. " Roxanne introduced.
"Nice to meet you ladies." He offered handshakes.
"Nice meeting you too, we'll just excuse you". They said and left still drooling over him.
