I woke up with a hangover headache this morning. My head is throbbing like it will burst. Tunde comes in time, he gives me hangover pills and I take it with water. I sit on the couch and rest my head on its back. I feel like drinking more water and I put the bottle into my mouth. As I am about to swallow the water, the memory of what I displayed yesterday flashes to my head and the water gushes out of my mouth. I look up at Tunde that is staring at me with his arms folded and I look down in embarrassment.

“I can tell that you have finally remembered what you did yesterday night.” Tunde says. Hell no, there is no way I am going to admit that nonsense that I did last night. If what I remembered now is what I did, then I should rate it as the most embarrassing moment of my life. I remembered everything, including how l behaved in Sade's present and all that I said to her.

"What did I do? Did I make any mistakes yesterday?” I ask Tunde pretentiously and he scoffs.

"You don’t need to pretend, I know you have remembered everything. Keep your acting for Nollywood movie." Tunde says and I almost laugh. I do not answer him and he continues, "Who is the girl? I saw her briefly yesterday, when you almost broke my leg when you were rushing to her but I don’t think I have ever seen her before? Who is she?” Tunde says,

" I met her for the first time yesterday too. But I want to see her again. I don’t know why but I really want to know her better." I say and Tunde bursts into laughter.

“ Ayo, are you okay? Do you mean what you are saying or do you mean you are attracted to her body and you want to get under her skirt?” Tunde asks unbelievably.

“I wish that’s what it is but it is not that simple.” I say and his smile fades away.

“Are you serious right now? I mean, how? Since when?” Tunde asks.

“ I saw her picture on Sade's phone days ago and she has been on my mind since then.” I say and I face the other side.

“She is Sade's friend? Guy, that will be so complicated.” Tunde says.

“Complicated as how? It’s not as if Sade and I are dating and I am not planning on dating the girl so I see no complications there.” I say.

“What I feel for Lara is just a mere curiosity, nothing more. I am sure I will get over her after a few more encounters.” I think to myself.

"Are you sure? I don’t think so. With all what you just explained, I think you are in love with that girl. As in, love at first sight thinging". Tunde says mockingly and I frown. What is this one saying?

" What!? Love? Bullshit. It is just a mere attraction….well……..maybe curiosity or whatever but it’s nothing more. Does she look like someone I can love? Are you fucking kidding me?" I mumble the word out in denial. I don’t know why I get this work up on this issue but I can’t help it. Why on earth is Tunde forcing love than my throat. I am a fucking player for goodness sake, and I am not done playing my games. I am enjoying it and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Love is the last thing anyone can find in my dictionary right now.

“Well, we shall see.” Tunde says simply and I roll my eyes.

“ I want to know everything about her, Do background checks on her and report to me before the end of today.” I order him. I know I am an asshole with the way I command him sometimes but he doesn’t have a choice than to do as I say.

Even though I have been in KFU for almost two years now, I still can't get enough of the love my departmental mates are showing me. Not only in my department but the entire University. They always treat me like they are seeing me for the first time. They give me gifts, ask for my autograph, dress to kill to seek my attention everyday. There was a time when one of the girls cried because I wink at her. This morning alone, I have received many flowers from them. I must say, I love the experience and I can’t trade my fan's love for anything in this world. I love them as much as they love me because they are the reason I am what I am today.

My lecture finishes earlier because the second period lecturer said he has an appointment . Tunde wants us to go home and rest but my mind is not at home, my mind is with her. I can’t get her beautiful eyes off my head and it is frustrating me. The urge to see her keeps increasing and I can’t suppress it anymore. I don't even know her number, that alone is giving me a headache. "Have you done what I asked you to do"? I ask Tunde impatiently.

Yes, The guy will send it to my email soon. I just called him and he said it is done.” Tunde says and I feel the 'I can't wait' feeling. When we get to the car, the driver asks me where I want to go but I tell him to hold on. I know Tunde is wondering why I ask the driver to wait but he doesn't ask me. Minutes later, Tunde's phone vibrates and he checks his phone. "He has sent it". He says and I almost snatch the phone from his hand.

" Send it to me now". I command and I open my email immediately. He sends it and I open it. I copy her number and I check her department. I close the message to read it later, when I am calm and cool. Seeing her is my priority now. I tell Kola; my driver and one of the bodyguards, to drive to the Statistics department.

On our way to the department, I see her briefly, walking on the road. She is probably going to her department. I tell Kola to stop the car and I ask him to go call her for me. Tunde gets out of the car and he goes into the bodyguard's car.

She looks so surprised when she sees me. I, on the other hand, don't even know what I am feeling. The feeling is new to me that I don’t know what it is. The moment I see her, all my worries vanish and my head becomes empty. Everything around me ceases and all I see is her. Everything about her is so beautiful, even the way she talks. I want to know how she is doing, I want to ask her about her hand. I just want her to be fine. She hasn't smiled yet and I am dying to see her beautiful smile. I want her to smile, I know it is crazy but I can’t help it.

"Why are you here"? She asks. I understand the question very well but I don't answer because I don't know why I am here either. What reason would I give her? That I am here because I want to see her beautiful smile? That I saw her picture once and she has been appearing in my dream since then? My eyes go to her bandaged hand and I am dying to hold it, to feel her beautiful hand in mine and to ask her about the pain. She cringes at my touch but I don’t mind. Even after she tells me the pain is no more there, I am still worried about her.

I tell her I'm a KFUite and she is surprised as expected. I crack a joke with her and she finally laughs. She laughs and I fucking melt. All my brain starts malfunctioning. Her laughter makes me happy and I want to be the reason she laughs everyday. My phone rings a couple of times and I ignore it. I don't care who the caller might be, I just want this beautiful moment to continue. I do not want it to stop or be distracted, forever if possible.
