Huh?? I said, acting like I don't know him. Aren't you Salimah Aliyu? he asked
Uhmm no, I said looking away. Smirking he dialed my number and my phone began to ring.

I was like oh hey Mahmud, sorry I didn't recognise you, have a seat.
After a long awkward silence, he finally broke it by saying I don't really like this place, we should go somewhere else.
I couldn't think of any place but then he interrupted by saying how about a stroll in the school, I was oh yes that'd do. He stand up quickly and offers his hand, (I don't know what he meant because we Muslims know a girl's hand isn't supposed to touch a boy's hand) I was just staring, he was like come on don't tell me you still act local?

Mahmud the rules don't you know?

He laughed a bit and dragged me by my hand, I didn't know what to do and I didn't want to cause any drama, I could feel people starring hard, I was ashamed and only lower my gaze. When we were out, he let go my hand and pause for a minute starring at me

What? I asked

Nothing didn't just know you're this big, you had always appear smaller in your pictures, are those only your old pictures?? He replied

Oh well sorry I don't know you didn't know but good thing you know now and I don't know why I appear small in pictures too, I replied sheepishly

I know right? You have to start exercising really hard, I don't like your body thou but you're still beautiful

Yes I've been working out but I'd try harder thanks. I love him so much and I wouldn't let my body get in the way

Hop in, he offered.
Sure, I bounced in his car
I have cousins that schools at Ahmadu Bello University, I'd like you meet them. He said while driving
Yeah sure thang, can't wait to see them, I grinned.

Our ride to the school was silent and I really didn't enjoyed it, I know I should trust him but it didn't seem right. He has thick eye brows and long lashes, his has white pearl teeth with a gap between his upper incisors, he is just handsomely made. Though I wanted him to flatter me a little with just a compliment, I didn't know what he is thinking and I wasn't sure if I should break the silence, I don't want to ruin anything so I just keep shut and try to enjoy the ride.
'We're there now' Mahmud said, he then face me and say you know you're actually beautiful, I truly love you and excuse my rudeness earlier today but I love all of you with your flaws and imperfections.

I swear I couldn't breathe when I heard those words, if he was already my husband, I'd give him a nice warm hug but oh yeah we know the rules.

'Umm oh my God... I don't even know what to say right now.. Thank you' I managed to say

'Don't be baby, just love me back, would you?' He said with a little laugh

'I'd always do' I said

'I already talked to my cousins earlier and they said they'd hang around the love garden and they can't wait to see you, so I guess you know around here a lot' says Mahmud

'Yes I do, let me take the lead' I said, hoping out of the car, it's just a small walk from here

'Yeah that's cool because you'd be starting your exercise now' he said grabbing my hand, I gave him a 'What? Look' and then he grinned saying just kidding.

Better I murmured under my breathe, I was still insecure with his idea of grabbing my hand anyhow he likes in public, what if my dad sees me? Or mom? Or her gossip friends? Or dad's colleagues? Or my course mates?

I couldn't hear him talk through out our walk, I was lost in thoughts until I realise I'm at the Senate's, we've walked past the love garden a while a go without me even noticing, I stop at a halt and he raise his brows with a confuse look on his face. We've kind of walked past the place I said with a sheepish smile, he only smiled and allowed me to take the lead again.

A/N; Here's another, sorry it's short, had isshs though all resolved, please vote and comment. Love y'all
