I entered my room and saw a note. It read:
"Don't look for me because I am in my friends house"
I changed my outfit into pajamas, read and slept.

I stayed in my friend's house enjoying myself as they do the talking. We played games including swimming, in which I won them.

I woke up at five o'clock in the evening, went to check Crystal but she was not back. I went into the kitchen, cooked solid food, Egusi and semolina, and put it into a food warmer. I then went into the sitting room and turned on the plasma TV and it was showing some news. And then something caught my attention
"Crystal, the daughter of Richard who hates mens and is also known for treating Men and all her male workers as trash, was found with a guy today entering Caleb Gold private university in the same Car. Hmm, if truly she is changing, let her change for good... And what might have caused her to abhor so much hatred for men. This remain unknown to us" the newscaster said
Wow, see how information about Crystal spread like wildfire. It is because she is well known.
"Don't mind the newscaster......let them try to bring any male close to me. They will know that I have not changed, I am still the real me" she said.
"For how long have you been staying there?" I asked, ignoring her words.
"Since the time you put on the television" she replied.
"These newscasters and reporters like puking their nose into people's lives. Most especially the most popular ones" I said.
"They usually..... Excuse me, let me pick these call" she said as her iphone started to ring.

"Where did we stop our discussion" I said
"Forget about that... let's go and eat" he said.
"I'm full, I have eaten in my friend's house, just keep it in the food warmer. I may wake up in the middle of the night to eat it" I said as I sat down on the couch and slotted a K-drama movie called'' The Bounty hunter" into the DVD player. I started watching the interesting film that I borrowed from my friend and it was getting interesting.
Fifteen minute later Caleb joined me after eating and together we watched the film.

"I'm feeling sleepy, I am going to sleep" I said praying in my mind Crystal say I should join her in her room today as I stood up.
Crystal pov
I want to tell Caleb to sleep in my room. But It feels awkward and I am feeling shy. But notwithstanding, I voiced out at last.
"Pls, will you sleep in my room today?" I said feeling a bit shy.
"Yeah, anything for you," he said. I stood up also and we both went to my room.
"I need to shower" he said.
"Me too" I said. He walked out of my room to shower and I removed my outfit and walked into the bathroom.
I walked out of the bathroom and clad myself in a black nightie. Caleb appeared in the door in a black shorts, walked into my room, and climbed on my bed to sleep. I threw myself also on the bed using the black duvet to cover ourself and drifted into my dream land
Tuesday morning
Caleb pov
I woke up to find myself cuddling Crystal, I don't know how we ended up together. I removed my hand from her body but she woke up almost immediately.
"Good morning, sleeping beauty" I greeted.
"Morning" she greeted back.
"How is your night?" I asked.
"Awesome and you" she replied and asked at the same time.
"Wonderful" I replied back.
"Wow! I can't believe you are the remedy to my predicament.... It has been ages since I slept peacefully" she said happily.
"I'm happy that I am your remedy" I said.
"Thank you" She said all of a sudden.
"For what?" I asked.
"For everything" She replied.
"Come on, strip off that... I did nothing" I said.
"You did something" She said but I ignored her words.
"Let me go and take my bath.... I would like us to discuss about your step father and how we will track him and put him behind the bar" I said hoping that will make her more happy.
"Wow! I already got a partner that I have been looking for. My stupid friends keep telling me they are afraid of my stepfather, thank you a lot, I owe you two" she said happily.
"I'm also going to be celebrating the overcoming of twelve sleepless nights," she said, hugging me immediately. There was a chemical reaction in my body, that I wish we could keep on hugging each other for eternity. And then she pulled out.
"I love you" I said out of the blues.
She was about to say something when I put a finger on her lip, she removed it immediately and said
"let's still maintain friend relationship for now"
"Ok.....at least I'm happy that you are now my friend. I pray you have feelings for me also" I said not waiting for an answer. I went into the kitchen to prepare custard and fry beans-cakes with a beans-floor .
Crystal POV
I felt like an electric shock and felt more comfortable when I hugged Caleb that I don't want to leave him again. And secondly there is a strange feeling I usually felt when around Caleb. And I don't know the meaning of it, I hope it is not what I'm thinking. Am I in love with Caleb?... I doubt that.
"Breakfast is ready" I heard Caleb announce bringing me back from my thoughts. I stand up, go about my daily morning ritual(Bathing and so on). Opened my door and walked to the dining table, to find Caleb clad in a brown polo and blue jeans sitting, smiling and waiting for me.
I took the seat opposite him, as we started eating, after muttering a simple prayer. I went to lectures with Caleb today again at twelve o'clock while people kept on staring at us. After we finished all our lectures. Caleb told me he is visiting one of his friends Bella. I felt a bit jealous when I found out it is the girl that Caleb always has lunch with. He is not my boyfriend, so I scolded myself.
