After the lecturer left the class, Fernandez hurriedly paced toward the person he had been longing to talk to even for a second ever since he joined the university and set his eyes on. He called the person just before she walked outside the class.

Wanjiku turned and saw the person that had just called her. The handsome Spaniard. Ladies in her class craved and hungered for the man's attention. He was not only the most handsome man in the class, and possibly the entire university, but he also had wealth that most men only dreamt about. This made him the center of attention and assiduity in the class, and had even caught Wanjiku's attention.

But Wanjiku didn't put any care into it, even though she was single herself just like the man was. It occurred to her that the man could be attracted to other ladies far more desirable than her in terms of beauty and riches. Wealth attracts only wealth. There were wealthy ladies scattered in the entire university, wealthy just like the man, and they were from the man's own kind. Whites will mostly be attracted to each other, especially when they are in a black nation.

Thus so, she didn't bother to put any care towards the man when the entire ladies in class put all their energy to have the man's attention. The odds of him recognizing her, let alone getting attracted to her, were nil. But now he is calling me! She stood and waited for him to get to her.

"I am sorry for the bother." Fernandez started apologetically when he got to her, his English impeccable, "I am Fernandez." He stretched his hand for a shake.

And who in class wouldn't know you are Fernandez? Wanjiku shook the hand while looking at the man. It was the first time she touched a white person- the famous Fernandez who melted hearts and turned knees into jelly. But she didn't feel her heart melted, nor her knees shaking in any way. All she felt, or actually saw, were the features which made ladies go gaga in the presence of the man. She was close to him. Too close, in fact, to clearly see his handsome Spanish features. The luminous dark blue eyes, blade-straight nose and glossy slicked panther black hair would indeed make any lady go gaga. He is actually handsome! Really handsome!

"I... have some categorized articles on legal subjects and... I was wondering if you can... if we can see it together..." Fernandez hesitantly said after the words he had planned to use suddenly vaporized.

Wanjiku stood staring without a blink. He wants to do what with me? She tried to test him and see if indeed what he had just said was true, "I am sorry. I already have a group." She made sure her tone came out diffidently.

"Oh... okay..." Fernandez humbly said, looking timid and subdued, "Thank you for your time."

Oh God, he meant it! The disappointed expression on him proved to Wanjiku what she saw to be something impossible. He actually wants... is interested in studying with me! The famous handsome Spaniard! Although it didn't have any impact on her- something that was oddly surprising to her, she decided to merriment him, "Maybe you can join the group. We are still accepting invitations."

A smile lit up Fernandez's face, "Thank you. I will be delighted to join you."

"Okay." Wanjiku nodded pleasantly, "We will be at the East Zone Library at 4.00 p.m. for the next study program. You will be able to see me and the rest of the group in the library. See you then." She said and immediately took on her heels.

Any girl would have been left dumbstruck if not in a quivering excitement at such an opportunity. The opportunity of interacting with the rich handsome Spaniard through his own interest and like. But she didn't feel anything, only surprised that the gentleman indeed wanted to interact with a woman like her, of all the women in her class and the entire university.

Fernandez stood staring with his heart happily warmed as the lady rushed out of the class. She was the only woman in his entire life who had struck his heart with a force he presumed unlikely. Struck with only the simple features she had; the beauty of chocolate brown complexion, intelligent brown eyes, heart-shaped face and short curls weave hairstyle. And now that he had talked to her, he was struck more with enthrallment by her gentle and pleasant voice. I would love to hear the voice every second of my life. He simply found her admirable, marvelous and wonderful, making him respect and adore her.

His two friends joined him after the lady left the lecture room. They always accompanied him to the university whenever they were free and didn't have commitments in their own learning center, which was a college institution within the city and in close proximity to the prominent university.

"A nice start." One of the friends, Rodriguez, complimented proudly.

"Yeah." The other friend, Gonzalez, also proudly nodded, "It's a good start. You made her smile."

Fernandez deeply exhaled, his pleased smile that came about from the lady's invitation still on his face for the world to see, "She spoke to me kindly and in a friendly way. I have seen hope." He closed his eyes for a moment and once again deeply exhaled.

His friends were equally pleased with the gratification that came from a friend's happiness. One of theirs had been touched by a feeling that was naturally conceivable to any human being and among themselves without any boundary. The friends hoped it wouldn't be complicated, because when the feeling occurred between two different kinds, there were always high chances of barriers and complications, brought about by the traditions and way of life of the two kinds.
