FIFTEEN

The ride to Veronica's hostel was pretty far than I expected. I had missed my way despite the fact I was using google map. Veronica had called me in the night after Chineye's departure and while we were talking, she told me about her intention to see my new apartment. I concluded that I'd come to pick her from her hostel.

I was glad she was pushing forward in our relationship. It served as a consolidation to me, cause my head was already filled with various thoughts which I was trying to dissolve. I got to her hostel in the afternoon and she quickly ran out to welcome me. I felt like a king; resting my arm on the car and watching her run to me.

I opened my arms and she jumped right in. I hugged her tightly, crunching her to my chest while she rested her jaw on my shoulder.  She has dressed in jeans trouser and a T-shirt with a small bag hanging in her hand. We got into the car and she waved to two of her friends who had come to welcome me also.
