What they do...

Ann got up at short intervals and looked at her wrist watch which was on her table. Disappointed at the innocent but slow watch, she flung it back at the table. Gina and Rosy took silent stares at each other and smiled.

"I wonder what Ann is waiting for" Rosy thought to her self. She too was looking at her phone, she just hoped Gina didn't notice. A call actually, she too was waiting for her mother's call. Her mum had promised she would call that day but it was 7:00pm still no call. "Maybe she is held up in traffic or something" Rosy tried to calm herself by reading a novel, but it didn't work out quiet well, her mind was distracted.

Coming from a home of seven children and very busy parents, Rosy didn't get much of attention. She was used to it but inside her she still yearned  for some love and affection. Being thrown into boarding school since she was 5 when she was still in primary school, she had practically grown up on her own. No wonder her fierce character. She was a survivor but under that facade she was just a child that needed love.

One last look at her phone she lost hope.

Maybe not today

She hissed and continued with her novel. After series of turning and returning to previous  pages she figured she wasn't concentrating. She picked up her phone and called Chuks.

"Hello sweetie" a thick high pitched voice  echoed from the other side of the phone. It was loud enough to draw Gina's attention who just rolled her eyes knowing who it was. Gina had never liked Chuks, but she kept that feeling to her self knowing fully well that Rosy was head over hells in love with him.

"He is obviously drunk."Gina hissed.

Rosy giggled and let out a sigh. "Chuks are you busy again?" she sounded disappointed, Chuks had promised he would see her that day but never showed up, he didn't even bother to call. Rosy was used to his disappointments but she couldn't leave him, the love she got from him was as much as she could have.

No one else loved her, she always reminded herself. They continued with their conversation, explanation, and am sorrys rained on from the other side of the phone. Followed by giggling from Rosy

Gina rolled her eyes the more. She smiled a little imagining if Queen was around at that time. She was sure that Queen would have snatched the phone from the lovey girly and given that jerk a piece of her mind. Queen was out on a date too, she haven't been for a while, after her break up she tried a shot at love again or was it just a fling to take her mind off school work.

The four roommates had bonded really well as they had spent close to six months together. They provided comfort whenever the other were in need. The session was about to end and the thought of their separation was painful even to all of them especially Ann.

Ann seemed less interested or even bothered by the loud giggles and stop thats, that echoed from the other side of the room. She kept on looking at her watch. The sound of her phone ringing jerked her up. Without looking at the caller ID she knew it was him.

"Am so sorry dear, am almost there" a voice said. Ann didn't say a word and hung up the call. So much for dressing up an hour ago. She stood up, touched up her light makeup and dressed her hair. She rounded it up in a pony tail as the night was already hot. She had left it flowing down but he spoilt it, she really didn't care anymore, the excitement had died down, she just kept hissing.

"Boys" Gina rolled her eyes at Ann too. Ann seemed angry but she still had a little blush on her cheeks, she would smirk and try to replace it with an angry face. Gina took notice of all that and just smiled still focusing on  her phone screen. At her right hand Rosy was laughing and giggling like a baby, and Ann, she was getting ready to form angry bird for the boy that had kept her waiting.

"This is really an interesting night" Gina thought loudly making sure the two love birds heard it. She cleared her throat and continued with her phone.

Gina had never been a one for the boys. She oozed of strictness. Just a glared from her could make anyone jump. Someone would think she was an alien. She didn't take nonsense from anybody and she was very much unapproachable. She seemed void of human emotions but deep down she had being through a lot in the name of love and figured she'd  stay completely away from it.

The day Queen came back crying cause her ex had broken up with her, it took the grace of God to stop Gina from running outside and killing the guy that had hurt her friend. She was so mad and she ended up crying with the broken heartened, Queen.

She hated love and everything it stood for. But she was happy whenever the same love brought smiles and giggles to the faces of her friends.

Interrupted by Ann ring tone. Ann picked it up almost immediately after a word or two from the other side of phone. She smiled and quickly waved it off.

"Am coming" she muttered and hurried out of the room to avoid questioning.

  Right outside her hostel she sighted the huge tall body frame that stood outside waiting for her. There were a lot of boys meeting and also waiting for their girlfriends or would be girlfriends. The sight always gave Ann joy, she would smile pass them hoping that the lovers would last long and happy.

Navigating through the lovers and also avoiding potholes she soon stood in front of him. He was wearing a simple track suit trouser with his palms and a simple top to go. That was the simplest Ann had seen him, but he still looked as cute as ever. Ann blushed just looking as his dark eyes stare at her, she couldn't keep up with the stare and looked away.

You're angry remember.

She repositioned her flushed face and put on a fake frown. "you're late" she said raising an eyebrow at him.

His face changed from bright to sad. He narrowed his dark eyes. "Am sorry, I was held up by something"

"Well, I know am not worthy of any explanations..."

"Can you stop that Ann." he held out him hand and touched her shoulders.

She is a tall girl actually

"You always say that and I won't take it again, Ann. You don't know how important you are to me." Ann rolled her eyes and tried to look away to make sure he didn't notice her blush and the spark that flashed in her eyes.

"It's true Ann. Am really into you. And each time I try to get close, you push me even further. You deserve every explanation I have to give. I know am very wrong for keeping you waiting. Am sorry"

Ann laughed and hit his hands. "It's okay tho" she was lost of words at that time.

"Be my girl Ann."

"Henry!" escaped from her lips.
