Wanda's tale by Ritkatmwa Gwan Episode 5

Awkwardness!!

“Wanda, Wanda, Wanda” her silence echoed…
Back to reality: 
The next few days were pretty weird…One would think after the kiss/peck, whatever it was, this two shared a whirlwind romance would have commenced, NO!… Wanda had mastered a plan and it was working at least for the time being. 
I mean it was barely a peck on the lips….why make so much of a small thing….
Jude was more frustrated it was the forth day after ‘the incident’ and he hadn’t seen her at the department, even Oiza was now avoiding him. 

He was in luck… “Oiza!!..” Jude knew she could hear him, he took three strides and caught her arm, “ are you avoiding me?” “Me? why, you?” her obvious confusion was all the response he needed, “where is she? is she ok, has she been avoiding me and in the process missing classes?”
she didn’t have time to answer because he kept his interrogation going.. You see, these two could barely tolerate each other with Wanda around and his patient was always thin with her..he had to make a tight fist pressing his nails hard into his plam to stop himself, it was the same everytime and who is not to say she was feeding Wanda some holier than thou nonsense that’s why she’s avoiding him…..  

Oiza cut in like the sassy one she was “ah, Jude calm down. “Yes, yes and No” 
He was puzzled and very sure she would get what she deserved soon.. “what do you mean yes, yes and no?”  knowing Oiza  he was ready to take whatever sassiness that came with her today. “you asked I answered”… th frown lines on his forehead was no cosmetic…he was working up a storm…
 “ok so Wanda is avoiding me, she is fine and isn’t missing lectures?” She gave him a plastic smile (the kind you fake when trying to get out of an awkward situation) “something like that, see you’re smart after all” In another scenario a slap would have followed her loud mouth, did she know who he was, he knew if he gave her the slap he was preparing it might ruin all chances with Wanda…”patience,patience” he told himself…”so where is she,I need to see her, we need to talk?”…
Oiza wasn’t strong armed by Jude, she didn’t even like the guy but he had these eyes that pierced and she was genuinely scared what he might do to her had she refused. “yes he was light skinned, looked sharp and had a suave to him… but he had these eyes that weren’t blue but had a certain hue only someone of mixed race or albinism could have..they were beautiful eyes oh (even she could see that) but even the devil appears as an angel of light and this devil, Oiza did not trust. She knew encouraging this budding romance was bad but Wanda had the deciding to do.

Her little bubble was busted…“Wanda!” “before you run off, don’t blame Oiza, I literarily dragged her here, well, something close to that”  
She was lost in the stare of his eyes, there was a twinkle to it at a certain angle from the light…his eyes were teary but not that he was tearing up, he was just perfect there was a hint of silent rage but she didn’t notice that… He was still asking himself why this girl had such a hold on Him…. Maybe it was her resemblance to Vickky that intrigued him but was this a good thing? 

“What say you Wanda?”  she didn’t hear anything he had said but she nodded anyway and the broad smile on his face only meant one thing, they were officially a couple…
