Stealthily I followed her, creeping silently and quietly like the wave of a ghost just to catch up with her and steal a gaze at her, hoping to be courageous enough to talk to her.
With an endowment of beauty, she walked glamorously like she's on a pageantry stage, wiggling her fine curves in all directions.
One would easily describe her as a true epitome of beauty as she shined brightly as the sun's rays pierced through her sleek fine dark skin.
In her white and black dress code she looked so professional and smart. "She must be intelligent as well, no wonder she's a law student", I would always say to myself whenever she walked pass my college.
I had stalked her for two weeks but never got the courage to talk to her. Would she even stop to talk to me? No! she won't...just forget her.
Flashback, we first met at fingers complex. I had just walked in to buy snacks when she came in with her company of friends. Believe me, she stood out.
Her physique startled me that I almost forgot to collect my balance from the sales girl. I had never been so much astonished and fascinated to that extent.
It was quite overwhelming, I couldn't help but stare. She caught me staring, smiled, I smiled too but sheepishly looked away. Her eyes were so fine and her lips so soft. Perhaps she would taste like fine wine.
Fast forward, I caught up with her on that fateful day. With a thumping heart, pounding so fast like I was chased by a lion, I struggled to find my grip, to stand my grounds and say the right words.
I muttered some words in soliloquy, took a deep breath and sighed.
I had rehearsed some mouth watering and sweet words I once read from a book of romance. But just when I could say it, her eyes caught my eyes staring and right there I lost my confidence.
Out of anguish but with resilience I forced words out hoping to get it right.
" Hello pretty, I'm Peter by name, pls what's your name?"
She replied "I'm Maya".
What a strange name she had ( I was expecting some regular Blessing, Favor or Queen) but like every other guy who wants to intertwine in the relinquishing euphoria of love and affection I just had do the norm.
"What a beautiful name you have, Maya"
She smiled ( even better than the first time we had met at the complex) and I can tell you that she's got the best dentition I've ever seen.
"Thank you, Peter".
We got done with the normal pleasantries and right there my greatest worry set in.
I took seconds thinking of how to break the jinx but my cerebrum couldn't reason the right words.
I was lost in my thoughts and stood there gazing at her fine face. She brought me out of bewilderment with a simple but hard question.
"So what can I do for you, Peter?".
This worsened my situation.
I replied, " no nothing, I just wanted to say hi"
She said ok and turned to leave.
I stood there watching her till she went out of sight, wishing I had garnered the courage to spill out my mind to save me this emotional trauma.
I felt bitter as I had failed myself in this quest.
Well, will I ever see her again??
I hope so.
