Episode 2

Brenda met Adam Walter fourteen months ago when she was in her final year at Star Gate

University, Lupe. She had gone to a nearby restaurant with her best friend and classmate,

Jane Damascus, to share a treat together. It was their first week as final year students and Jane had suggested that they take themselves out. Rosy Restaurant seemed the best choice

since it was nearby and affordable for them at the time. Brenda had noticed Adam the moment he walked into the restaurant. He was a bit taller than her and good-looking. She was quick to notice his neat sense of dressing  and his well-trimmed moustache and it all appealed to her. Jane had noticed her friend‟s eye movement and decided to follow them.

She immediately understood why her friend had been distracted. But they quickly forgotbabout Adam as soon as their orders were served. Brenda was just getting over her breakup with Derek Brown and believed within her that she

wasn't ready to embrace the opposite s*x again, but when she looked up, the fine young man was approaching them. “Oh my God. He is coming towards us,” she quickly notified Jane. And Jane, a skinny pretty girl, looking back, could easily tell that he was attracted to Brenda. “Hi, girls!” he greeted, in a gentle but masculine voice. His eyes were fixed on Brenda. “Hello,” Brenda briefly replied. She was the more polite of the two. “I hope you girls won‟t mind if I lunch with you?” Although

it was meant to be a general question, Brenda could sense that it was directed at her. “As a matter of fact, we‟d really prefer it if we lunched alone. This is a special occasion and it is just for the two of us,” she politely answered. Adam didn't

seem to be listening; he was already making himself comfortable on an empty chair by

their table. It was obvious that he wasn't going to allow himself to be turned off by her

words. “I won‟t be fair to you girls and even to myself if I allow you to lunch alone. Don‟t worry, I promise to be a perfect gentleman.” Brenda and Jane were short of words. They had no choice but to allow him to stay; they

remained silent and tried to anticipate his next move. “I am Adam Walter; please may I get to know your names?” he asked,

concentrating on Brenda. Brenda didn‟t want to open up at first. She really wanted to keep off men. She looked at Jane and saw a look of approval on her face. Hence, she reluctantly answered, “I am Brenda and this is my best friend, Jane.”

“Hello Jane.” He turned his attention to Jane. “I am really sorry for barging into your special occasion. I don‟t intend to spoil it, rather I will add more flavor to it. What are you girls celebrating?” “We are celebrating our first semester as final

year students,” replied Jane. “Oh, that‟s cool. Congratulations, girls.” “Thank you,” they both

responded. “Brenda. What a name.” This statement caught Brenda‟s attention. “What is

wrong with the name?” “I like it. I like you also. I will also like to be your friend,” he confidently replied. And all through lunch that day, Brenda had tried to politely turn him down, but he didn't allow her to drive home her point. Jane was at the other end, giving her signs of encouragement. It was clear that Jane approved of him, and that was the beginning of a blissful relationship between

Adam and Brenda. He never relented in showing her the best side of him. He was 26 years and had just gotten a job

with a communication company. He used all the resources within his reach to shower her

with gifts.

 He made sure he called her every night to tell her sweet words that would nudge her to sleep. At first, Brenda wasn't confident that he was for real, but his persistent attention towards her did a lot to convince

her. After four months, Brenda believed that she had finally found for herself the right man to date. Brenda was the type of girl who, at any slightly perceived interest from the opposite s*x, quickly formed an emotional attachment, which would eventually be

difficult for her to break. She felt like she was on the top of the world as Adam continued to prove his love for her as days turned into weeks and weeks into months. She gave him her heart. She believed in him and in the

future. He proved to her that he was capable of doing all the good things, which she‟d initially thought he could do. He was exciting to be with, strong, caring and very handsome.

What more could a girl ask for?
