Chapter 3 Prince Charming

  • Lucy’s POV
  • Omalicha isn’t my name or nickname. Kenneth’s mom is Nigerian, so he told me that sometimes he uses words such as Omalicha which means beauty, and Nkem which means mine. I consider that very romantic and whenever I hear it, butterflies start flapping in my tummy.
  • I turned around and gasped. Right there behind me stood the most handsome, tall, gorgeous dark skinned young man with the most alluring Hazel eyes I have ever seen. His look alone sent shivers down my spine all the time.
  • He strutted towards me with the sexiest smirk plugged on his lips and outstretched his arms as he reached me. I was just standing there gawking at him like I was seeing him for the first time.
  • He wrapped his arms around my frozen body and that brought me back to earth. The feel of his body against mine was like electricity. He kissed my cheeks.
  • I’m not that keen on public displays of affection but since I met this guy and fell in love with him, I don’t mind it at all.
  • “Hey babe” I greeted him as he unwrapped himself from me. “Hey love, I missed you, didn’t you miss me, were you seriously just going to walk away without seeing me?” he asked, looking at me longingly.
  • ‘Sometimes the pure affection that glistens in this man’s eyes when looking at me scares me.’ I would fall in love with him over and over again.
  • “Oh you have no idea! I felt like crying just now when I couldn’t find you anywhere.” I told him. He giggled and pulled me to him again.
  • He dragged me into his office. Yes, he had an office, he was a secretary general for the Students Representative Council. I guess he was a future politician. Politician or not, I loved this guy right here and all I cared about was that he loved me with so much intensity, nothing else mattered.
  • He sat on top of his desk pulling me on his lap and kissed me with passion running his hands all over me. This always got me all giddy and sensitive with sensations running around my body, settling on my core. However, we have decided to wait for the right time. Of which we both agreed we would know when it came.
  • “Babe I have only 30 minutes left before class, can you help me with my Math assignment?” I asked pouting while looking at my wrist watch. He laughed. I guess my pouts always melt him or so I thought.
  • “Let me see,” he said, getting the book from my hands. He helped me with my assignment like he always did and I was grateful for that all the time. My man has been such an awesome Angel ever since I met him.
  • Flashback
  • Okay, okay! Let me tell you how I met him because I know you’re wondering how I met him, right? I got to the University after my reincarnation, got to my dormitory, and found my roommate Nelly Barot. After introductions, I arranged my stuff while chit-chatting with her. We both left for registration at the Admin block.
  • She’s such a beautiful girl, dark skinned, deep brown eyes, beautiful black curly hair, and she kept short hair. Just after we got to the administration block I saw him there. I didn’t know he was going to be my boyfriend then.
  • As if something was pulling him towards me, his eyes locked with mine, we stood there frozen for five good minutes until I averted my eyes. I suddenly felt so shy.
  • Nelly immediately noticed how attracted Kenneth and I were to each other and she giggled. Though we weren’t so close yet, she elbowed me and said “girl you are being all over each other, in a nice way anyway.” She giggled.
  • I felt my cheeks heating up, a blush creeping up my cheeks. We found the nearby chairs and sat down while waiting for instructions on which office to go to and what to do next. Kenneth kept stealing glances at me until he couldn’t take it anymore he walked right up to me and said “hi can I talk to you for a minute?”
  • He was so bold. I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out instead I just nodded. He asked me to step aside. I looked at Nelly who gave me an assurance nod.
  • “Hi I’m Kenneth. I’m sorry to bother you and I know that I’m being forward, but can I talk to you for a minute? Forgive my forwardness. May I know your name miss?” he asked.
  • I cleared my throat, “I am Lucy Foster,” I shyly responded. “Nice to meet you Lucy, like I said I am Kenneth Paige. Seeing your beauty I just told myself that I should ask you out on a date. Would you mind that Miss Lucy?” he asked. He indeed was forward.
  • At that point my heart was racing like a motor vehicle, pounding inside my rib cage. I was so nervous. I couldn’t even speak, instead I just nodded.
  • He smirked. He could tell I was nervous and because of that he knew I liked him too and that was how I met Kenneth and how we became lovers. We were actually termed the two lovebirds of the University. [End of flashback]
  • My Kenneth helped me with my Math assignment and I went to the lecture hall leaving him behind.
  • We were both in the Sciences and Engineering department, but he was doing a construction engineering course while I was doing a degree in pharmaceuticals.
  • Getting to the lecture hall, I sat next to a new girl. She appeared nervous. She looked new because this was our third month in the first semester but I had never seen her before.
  • I figured I should somehow make her feel at home.
  • She was a very beautiful girl with an attractive slender and curvaceous body. She was of mixed race and had long straight blonde hair and green eyes. Her appearance screamed rich!
  • “Hi! I’m Lucy Foster.” I whispered to her. The lecture was about to start so I didn’t want to upset Dr. Hamilton. He was a strict man who liked calling people with their full names. I cringe whenever I am called with full names, always sounding like I was in trouble.
  • “Nice to meet you Lucy. I’m Patricia Bratton.” She responded. “Are you new? I never saw you before.” I asked her.
  • “I just transferred in from Northern University. I’m from The Valley.” She responded in the same whisper tone. As a southerner, I wasn’t much familiar with the North side or the West side. All I knew was that the Northern and Western parts of our country were Monarchies.
  • Kenneth is from the Western kingdom, but I never really inquired more about it from him. I was still basking in New love.(chuckles)
  • After the lecture, Pat asked me if she could hang out with me and I said yes. We headed to the student’s mall for the cafeteria so she could get something to eat.
  • “OMG! Girl I’m suddenly not worth hanging out with?” Nelly yelled in a mock voice. “Oh come off it Nel! You know you are irreplaceable, girl!” I giggled as I said it.
  • We fist bumped and laughed. “Nelly this is Patricia, she is new. Same class with me. Pat, this is Nelly, my BFF,” I introduced them.
  • “Nice to meet you Patricia. I’m her BFF and roomier, so you know.” They shook hands.
