I stood in front of the mirror looking at my reflection. I smiled confidently as I turned around admiring myself

I can't thank God enough for making me strong, brave and beautiful

I am going to defend my project today, my last project defense in the school. 

This past five years that I stayed in school made me pass through many experiences, some I can be proud of while some is better referred to as a secret.

At least I got rid of Sam in my life. My bestie and Frank have been of good help, they made me to be strong to face Sam after I have written the last song he requested of me.
I wrote the song more of pain, love and want.

Huhh, enough of the thinking, I have a defense to think of. 

I went to straight to where my jacket is, picked it up, wore it and went outside with my bag and project write up after locking my door.

I reached my department by 8:30 am thinking that am an early bird but surprisingly my departmental mates beat me to it by coming early chattering away.

All dressed to taste ready to defend their five years in school.

I looked around searching for one particular face "my bestie" but she is nowhere to be found . I had no choice than to walk steadily to where Anthony but preferably Tony was sitting, he has been crushing on me since year two but because I never have time for guys, we never got along that much but he did not give up.

I smiled at him and can't help but notice for the first time his dimples whenever he smiles. 

"Hy" I greeted still maintaining my smiling face

"To what do I owe this visit, that my queen decided to talk to me" He replication in thick bass that almost made me trip

I pouted because I wouldn't want him to misunderstand our conversation

"Am I bad, I just want us to have a little convo" I replied sitting down beside him

I brought out my phone and called Lizzy three times which connected two times but she did not answer my call.
I sent her a message wondering why she is not yet back.

I know that she is supposed to defend tomorrow but at least she have to come back and prepare for her big day.

After sending the message, I turned towards Tony who have been looking at me with admiration and engaged him in a chat to while away time and also reduce the tension of defense.

We discussed for about three hours before the defense started.

Trust EVM department and their wasting of time, what was supposed to start by 9:00 am is now starting by 12:05pm.

I really enjoyed his company indeed he is a great conversationist  #lol, my English # 

I wondered why I haven't noticed him since.
I laughed to my satisfaction and the tension in me reduced.

For the first time in five years I got to know his name "Anthony Cruz" funny name right but its cute

. I choose to call him "Tony Cruz"

Our conversation or chit chat was cut short when i heard my reg no being called to come and defend. 

I stood up, adjusted my cloths to make sure it is straight and neat.

I exhaled deeply

Arrrgghhh, the tension is creeping in again.

I felt his hands on me, I turned towards him and he whispered smiling 

"Just be you, I know you can do it"

I felt a new wave of confidence in me as a march straight to the office to face my indoor defense.

The defense was tough but thank God, i answered most of the question they fired at me.

By the time I finished Tony has gone.
I asked some of his friends outside about him and they told me that he left immediately after his defense.

"Ouch, how I wish I collected his number. At least that way I can communicate with him again"

I loved the way he made me feel, the confidence he gave me, the love in his eyes.

The smooth way he talks to me and his dreamy eyes that I never got tired of admiring.

Oh God, why didn't I give myself the chance to have this kind of feeling. 

He made me forget all about Sam and my heart is now at ease.
I wish I can be able to meet him again.

I shuddered at my thoughts and stood up from the chair I have been sitting staring absent mindedly at the mirror.
"I just felt a little of it'" I blushed at my thought


Love in the air, is she really drawn in love, drunken in love or fallen in love
Kikikikiki, keep it rolling guys
