Another party, Richard
gets furious
gets furious
The excos were planning a traditional party for the
state and students from that state would participate in the coronation of king,
queens, prince and princess. The state is
in the east; Nina is from the east but not from that state so she couldn’t
participate – contest for Queen or princess. Even if she was, she didn’t plan
to participate.

The party was drawing near and they were all
preparing for it. Some went to town to shop for costumes while some were
shopping for food items. The night before the party, everyone from that state
was preparing the food and Nina was outside with her brother’s friend Augustine….

Faith by Celine Dion from her One Heart album and she kept playing it on and on
until Dennis came to take her away from where she was….

Dennis: (draws close to her) you have a different way of showing it.
Goes close to her and starts kissing her. He had no
idea how long she had been waiting for that kiss. How she dreamt every night just to be in his
arms. They kissed and his arm got to the right shoulders of her robe and gently
draws them down. His arms going to her breast, her waist then her thighs and
her brother screams her name.

Augustine told him his sister left with Dennis and Richard
started looking for his sister only to find her with a guy under the tree and
her robe coming off. She was lucky that it was really dark and he couldn’t see
vividly what they were doing….

Richard watching her, she doesn’t say a word to Dennis;
takes the walkman and runs to her hostel, crying and feeling so embarrassed.
Goes to her bed, wishing the night had never happened except for the part she
was with Dennis. To prevent her dad’s rage she decided not to see Dennis again,
it hurt her really bad that she didn’t know how to see him in night class and
not say hi. So she decided not to go for night class.

The party came around and Nina’s brother’s girlfriend,
ify was the queen and Nina’s friend,Princess was the princess and the king and
prince were not a friend of Nina neither did she know them.
ify was the queen and Nina’s friend,Princess was the princess and the king and
prince were not a friend of Nina neither did she know them.
The queen and princess followed their king and prince
to their village homes and people were speculating that the king must have
slept with Ify and Princess. Richard heard some guys talking about it and he
was devastated but he didn’t want to believe what people were saying. He was scared
because they stayed up to a week in the “King’s” house. Meanwhile all this
while, Nina never knew what was happening because she was avoiding Dennis and
wasn’t herself. Dennis couldn’t take it and went to her hostel, it was the
first time he had ever looked for a girl in the hostel….

She knew it was Dennis but she didn’t want to come
out. Dennis saw a girl from his state and begged her to call her. She passed
the message and Nina told her she will see him but she didn’t until Dennis went
into the compound and went to her window….

She starts singing brandy’s song “I’ve got nothing
without you” and he sings along with her. They danced and cuddled throughout
the night until 2am before he saw her off to her hostel. From that moment on
they started dating. What Nina didn’t know was Dennis confronted Richard about
his feeling for Nina and gave her brother his word. Although Richard doesn’t
still like him but he just wanted his sister’s happiness, after all he was
dating someone else’s sister as well.

so they could tell Nina. They tried so many times but he didn’t fall for it.
