"Alright give me some minutes to change and wait outside while i dress", she said pushing him outside. "What are you hiding"he asked laughing. "Do you want to go blind", Rose said as she turned to dress up. They went to a hotel and took their orders after eating they went to there room. "Is this the big surprise you have got for me? "Rose said as she sat on the bed. "Hold on he said, opening the drinks and food. "Rose, my life has a meaning now ever since I met you, without you now in my life I would be empty" he said with a very sweet voice. "As for the surprise, its here. I want us to have a good and quiet time together today. "Meaning what Rose" asked smiling.

The following day as Jack was walking into the lecture room Mrs Jenkins who taught them science course stopped him. He was very late for the class. "Go out"she yelled at him "and don't you ever come to my class a minute late again".

She was a harsh lecturer and students don't like her because of that. "Please lend me your notebook"Jack said to his best fiend Andrew, "see the way i was embarrassed by that lecturer". "Where went you man, I came to look for you yesterday at your hostel but you were nowhere to be found, am sure it has to do with Rose" and they both laughed.

"You don't look too well, what's wrong? " Sasha asked Rose who was lying on the bed. "This last paper was tough. I doubt if I get a C, "Rose said with worries written on her face.

Just then Jack walked in. "Angel, how are you today? "He inquired when she did not reply he turned to her friend. "Is she alright? He asked as Sasha rose to leave.

"Jack, today's paper was tough, "Rose told him. "Don't worry, it'll be fine. Am sorry i couldn't spay a day to check on you my love", he said as he kissed her on the cheeks.
