Unconsummated Fire

Emily's POV.

Today is a very special day in my life, after all the stress and the sleepless nights it all was all over. I said to myself.

I was going to submit my project work and then hurrah!! it will finally be done. I walked inside campus which was crowded with my classmates everywhere. I was in a very good mood as I jumped and tiptoed to find my friends among the crowd. I sighted them among the crowd talking to a knight in shining armor. He was gorgeous actually but I wasn't someone to like someone in first sight but this time I knew I did even though I was far away from them.

I got closer to Frank and tapped him on his shoulder since he was not facing my direction, he turned to look at me but not with his usual smile. But what amazed me was that the handsome stranger, he couldn't take his eyes off me even though I was staring right back at him. I looked at my dress to check if something was wrong with my dress code but saw nothing wrong. And also saw that his attention was particularly on my face so I awkwardly said,

“Hi”

He was still absentminded, so Enoch my other friend saw what was happening and instinctively shoved his hand and said,

“I think she is speaking to you. ”

He looked back at me and asked

“Is that right?”

I nodded and the stranger looked into my eyes once more before apologizing,

“I'm sorry I was lost for a moment, my name is Eddie Rockson. Once again I'm sorry. ”

“That's okay no crime committed. My name is....” I was saying.

“Emily Smith, I know your name remember? I only mentioned yours because I thought it had escaped you. How have you been all this while?” inquired.

“You know my name? how? oh maybe my my friends mentioned me to you. ” I queried.
