My Versity Love

CHAPTER THREE

His heart pounded in his chest, and he glanced around his room, searching for a weapon out of instinct, but he knew he didn't keep any.

"Who is it?" Jay called out, hoping to receive a response that would quell his growing anxiety. There was only silence in return, and the lack of an answer intensified his apprehension. He asked again, his voice more insistent this time, but still, no reply came.

Taking a deep breath, Jay considered his options. He could ignore the knocking and hope it was just a late-night prank, but the fear of danger lurking outside his door was too great. He had to confront whatever awaited him.

"Stay here," he whispered to himself, not wanting to awaken his dormmates and cause unnecessary panic. He approached the door cautiously, every step weighed with trepidation. As he stood before the wooden barrier, he placed his hand on the doorknob, ready to face whatever lay beyond.

For a fleeting moment, doubt filled his mind. What if this was a trap set by Professor Zanga, seeking to strike at the heart of their love and dreams? But Jay banished those thoughts, reminding himself that he couldn't live in fear. He had chosen to fight for their love, and that meant facing challenges head-on.

With a deep breath, he muttered, "Here goes nothing," and turned the doorknob. The door creaked open, revealing a dimly lit corridor outside. Jay squinted into the darkness, trying to discern any figures or signs of disturbance.

There, in the shadows, he saw a faint silhouette, but it was too obscure to identify. He took a cautious step forward. "Who's there?" Jay called out once more, his voice more firm than before.

Still, there was no response. His heart pounded in his ears, drowning out the silence of the corridor. Jay hesitated for a moment, debating whether to retreat or step out further, but he reminded himself that he couldn't leave this mystery unresolved.

Summoning all his courage, Jay stepped out into the corridor. He kept a cautious distance from the shadowy figure, ready to react if the situation demanded. As he drew closer, he noticed a flicker of light, illuminating the intruder's face.

In the dim glow, Jay's eyes widened in astonishment. It was Celine, standing there with an expression of anxiety and fear etched across her features.

"Celine?" Jay exclaimed, his heart now racing for an entirely different reason. "What are you doing here?"

Celine's voice quivered as she responded, "I... I couldn't sleep, Jay. I couldn't stop thinking about what we talked about, about facing our fears together. And I realized I needed to be with you, to feel your presence."

A mixture of relief and concern washed over Jay. "You scared me," he admitted, gently reaching for her hand and pulling her closer. "I thought something had happened to you."

"I'm sorry," Celine whispered, tears welling up in her eyes. "I didn't mean to scare you. I just needed to see you, to know that you're here."

Jay embraced her tightly, feeling a rush of emotion at her vulnerability. "I'm here, Celine. I'm always here for you," he assured her, his voice filled with love and reassurance

She smiled shyly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "I couldn't sleep, Jay. There's something I need to tell you."

He gestured for her to come in, and she stepped into his room. "What is it, Celine? You look worried."

Celine took a deep breath, gathering her thoughts. "I've been thinking about what you said earlier, about facing whatever comes our way together. And I realized that you're right. We can't let fear hold us back."

Jay's eyes softened with understanding. "I'm glad you feel that way, Celine. We're stronger together, and I promise you, we'll face whatever comes hand in hand."

She nodded, her nervousness beginning to dissipate. "I want us to be honest with each other, Jay. I've always been scared of the power that love holds, of how vulnerable it makes me feel. But tonight, when we kissed, I felt something different. I felt safe and loved, and I realized that I've been holding back because I was afraid of losing myself in this love."

Jay gently took her hands in his, his heart swelling with love for her. "Celine, love isn't about losing yourself; it's about finding yourself in someone else. It's about sharing your hopes, dreams, and fears with someone who loves you unconditionally. I don't want you to be afraid to be vulnerable with me. I'll cherish every part of you, even the parts you're afraid to show."

The words Jay spoke stirred a whirlwind of emotions within Celine. The tenderness and sincerity in his voice melted away any lingering doubts she had about opening her heart fully to him. In that moment, she felt a profound connection to Jay, a connection that reached deep into her soul.

Their eyes locked, and they saw each other with a newfound clarity, baring their souls without fear of judgment. Celine's heart beat faster as she realized that Jay truly cherished every part of her, even the parts she had kept hidden away. It was a love that went beyond physical desire; it was a love that embraced every facet of their beings.

As the passion between them intensified, they moved closer, their bodies drawn together like magnets. Jay's hands caressed her cheeks with the gentlest touch, his fingers tracing every contour of her face. Celine's breath hitched with anticipation, her heart racing in sync with his.

Their lips met in a tender kiss, the kind that spoke volumes of the love they felt for each other. It was a kiss that carried the weight of their shared journey, their hopes, and their dreams. The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them entwined in a dance of affection and vulnerability.

With each moment that passed, their love deepened, and the walls they had built around their hearts crumbled, leaving them raw and exposed to one another. It was a beautiful surrender, a surrender to the vulnerability that love demanded.

As they explored each other's bodies, the intimacy they shared was not merely physical but emotional, a merging of their souls. Every touch, every caress, sent electric currents through their bodies, igniting a passion that had been simmering between them for years.

Their movements were slow, deliberate, as they took their time to savor each other's presence. They whispered words of love, affection, and encouragement, a symphony of tender declarations that only deepened their connection.

In the glow of their love, they felt a sense of unity, a oneness that surpassed the physical realm. They moved as one, guided by the rhythm of their hearts and the unspoken understanding of each other's desires.

Time seemed to stand still as they explored the depths of their love, making each moment feel like an eternity of bliss. The sensations were overwhelming, but they embraced the intensity, embracing the vulnerability that came with such profound intimacy.

Their breaths mingled, and the room filled with their passionate whispers and the sound of their hearts beating in unison. In each other's arms, they found solace, safety, and an unmatched sense of completeness.

As they lay together, entangled in a cocoon of love and warmth, they knew they had taken their relationship to a new level. It was not just a physical connection but a deep emotional bond that would forever intertwine their lives.

And as they drifted off to sleep, their bodies and hearts entwined, they felt a profound sense of peace and serenity. They knew that they were united not just physically but emotionally and spiritually, and that their love was a force that would guide them through the trials and triumphs of their beautiful journey together.

The next morning, Jay and Celine awoke with a sense of contentment and joy, their hearts still filled with the warmth of their shared love. They exchanged tender smiles and affectionate glances, savouring the closeness they had experienced the night before.

Reluctantly, Celine freed herself from Jay’s embrace and made for the door. “We have to get ready for lectures before we get late Jay” she warned gently.

“Yeah” Jay answered frankly as he prepares to see her to the door.

As Jay returned to his room after saying goodbye to Celine, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for their morning routine. He knew that Celine liked to take her time getting ready for the day, ensuring that she looked her best, and he admired her attention to detail.

With a smile on his face, Jay tidied up his room, making sure everything was in its place. After a short time in the bathroom, Jay was all set for lectures. He picked up a book from his shelf and skimmed through its pages, trying to pass the time while waiting for Celine.

As minutes ticked by, Jay could hear footsteps approaching his door. His heart skipped a beat, knowing that Celine was about to arrive. He quickly put the book down and stood up, making sure he looked presentable as well.

The soft knock on his door filled him with excitement. "Come in," Jay called out, trying to hide the eagerness in his voice.

The door opened, and there stood Celine, looking radiant as ever. Her hair cascaded in gentle waves down her shoulders, and her smile lit up the room.

Celine's beauty was truly captivating, making her stand out effortlessly among her peers. Her fair complexion, tall height masked by bountiful hips, rounded backside, and pointing chest exuded confidence and allure.

Her long, dark hair perfectly complemented the crystal white of her cornea, highlighting her soulful gaze. But beyond her physical allure, it was her inner warmth and kindness that set her apart, making her a woman of rare beauty inside and out - a captivating presence whose radiance left everyone in awe

Jay couldn't help but admire her beauty, feeling a surge of affection for the woman he loved.

"Hey," Celine greeted him, her voice warm and tender.

"Hey," Jay replied obviously startled out of the world of admiration by Celine’s greetings, his heart fluttering at the sight of her. "You look amazing." He added out of impulse.

Celine blushed, feeling his compliment deeply. "Thank you," she said, her smile widening.

They exchanged a loving glance before Jay reached for her hand, intertwining their fingers. "Shall we?" he asked, gesturing towards the dining table where Jay had set bread and tea ready.

Celine was pleasantly surprised as she couldn’t fix anything for breakfast that morning, fearing that Jay may wait too long.

After a leisurely breakfast together, they gathered their books and belongings for school. Hand in hand, they walked to campus, feeling a sense of unity and strength in their togetherness. They laughed and chatted along the way, sharing inside jokes and tender moments that only they understood.

Upon reaching the campus, they reluctantly parted ways, knowing they had classes to attend. Jay pressed a soft kiss on Celine's cheek, whispering, "I'll see you later, my love."

Celine blushed, her heart fluttering at his words. "I can't wait," she replied with a shy smile.

For reasons best known to the love birds, even though they were in the same class, Celine and Jay planned to, and always entered the lecture hall through separate doors or at best, separate times. They both loved to take the front sits but they always ensured that they sat at least, two columns of seats away from each other.

As Jay made his way to the lecture hall, he noticed the university's mail guy waiting for him at the entrance. This wasn't an unusual sight, as the mail guy had delivered scholarship offer letters to both Celine and Jay on five different occasions in the past. However, what caught Jay's attention was the change in the mail guy's demeanour. Unlike before, when he would be all smiles and excitement, announcing the contents of the letter with shouts of congratulations, this time he appeared cold and distant.

As Jay approached, he greeted the mail guy with his usual friendly tone, but the response he received was far from the warm reception he was accustomed to. The mail guy handed Jay the letter without saying a word, barely acknowledging Jay's presence before walking away.

Worry crept into Jay's heart as he clutched the letter in his hand. He knew that this letter could hold significant implications for their future, and the mail guy's unusual behaviour only heightened his anxiety. He decided to open the letter later, not wanting to show his emotions in public.
