… Valerie’s POV (continues …

I woke up as the ray of the morning sun shone in the room through the windown curtain.
I rubbed my eyes and searched for my phone.
I still felt so bad that Iyke had to send me a text later on, that he can’t make it again cos he got an urgent call from his boss to come to the office right away.
I sighed again, remembering how bad I felt yesterday.
I dropped back my phone and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

After brushing and cleaning my face, I walked out, grabbed my phone and walked out to the kitchen.
The kitchen is perfect and a small breakfast bar with just two seats opposite each other is at the centre.
I walked over to the counter…

It’s actually empty cos I’ve not bought the dishes and foodstuffs yet.
Im going to do that today, cos Im on a day leave today.
I walked out and came out to the sitting-room.
I sat down on the purple couch as I took the remote from the table and switched on the TV.
I decided to watch ‘African Magic’
I crossed my leg and my arms as I watched.

A call came in few minutes later…
‘Iyke’ so I thought but it was mom.
I picked it up.
“Goodmorning mom.” I greeted with a smile.
“How are you doing honey?” She asked.
“Im fine. And you mom?”
“Fine honey. I called to hear from you. You staying home today right?”
“Yes mom. I have to go buy my kitchen utensils and fill up my cabinet and fridge ” I said.
“Very good dear. What about Eva? won’t she come over to help you?”
“No mom. She’s going to work.” I replied.
“Oh.. Maybe Benita should come over.”
“No mom. Benita can’t miss school. I can go alone. I got my car with me.” I said.
“Alright honey, take care of yourself ok?” She said.
“I will mom. And you too.” I said and then the call dropped.
I smiled and rested my head on the seat back.
But I wasn’t watching the Tv anymore. My mind went back to yesterday.
When that– that what?
Dada guy…
Oh they said he’s name is ‘Joy.
Like, why did he look at others frighteningly and then looked at me coldly and naive.
And he looked quite dirty and too matured to steal an ‘ordinary’ football.
I chuckled as I remembered how he threw the dirty ball inside his shirt and held it there with his hands.
G0sh, that was too childish.
I stopped chuckling but ended up bursting into a laughter.
No, I mean that was so childish.

… Iyke’s POV (continues …
“Lizzy, Shey you no wan leave again? You’ve been here for two nights.. Come on, I got a girlfriend.” I said as she sat at the centre of the bed, her legs crossed, a pillow on her thigh and her phone in her hands.
While I was standing near the bed, facing her.
She looked up and smiled, “Iyke, I really missed you. Let’s just spend a week together. Your girlfriend won’t be aware if you don’t tell her. Come on, after all I was your girlfriend too.” She said.
“You was. Get it, You are not right now, you almost made me loose Valerie. Do you know what I get from her huh?” I half yelled.
“Well, sx and money. What else? You don’t love her like you told me. You just dey chop her, and then you’ll dump her when you are satisfied.” She said.
I shook my head, “Now, that’s none of your business. You gotta leave today.” He said.
She laughed, “You no know Lizzy again abi? I no be the fake chioma your cousin wey you make me act for phone. I be Lizzy and this Lizzy here don miss you die. I’m spending a week here.” She said then layed down and spread her hands wide, grinning.
“My goodness…” She laughed.
I stared disgustingly at her before storming out of my room to the sitting-room. I slumped into a sofa.
G0sh!
This girl is just a headache.
She almost made me break up with Vale when I still need to get a huge amount of money from her before dumping her a$$.
G0sh! Why did I even had to meet Lizzy now.
Lizzy was one of my girlfriends in university days.
Yeah…

Well, she was the best out of them all and when I mean ‘best’ I mean ‘best in sxing’
We lost contact after we left school and now she had to show up from nowhere.
Saying she travelled out, lost her lines and so on.
I planned on her spending just a night but now it’s two nights.
Though she’s been making herself useful but I don’t want here sleeping here again.

Come on. What if Valerie just appear!
I got up and went back to my room to find her putting on a white headset and humming lowly with her eyes closed.
I hissed, walked over and and pulled the headset off and she opened her eyes and stopped humming.
“What’s that baby?” She asked.
“I’m going to work remember. So you are dressing up and I’m dropping you off.” I said and walked out.
*
I got to the kitchen and made myself a tea with buttered bread.
I sat down ontop my counter and was eating when she walked in, putting on my red and grey long-sleeved shirt.
She widened her eyes as she stared at the plate and bread in a saucer.
“Baby, you are so eating without me? Come on. Let me have some now.” She said as she pushed the breakfast bar chair forward to the counter, jumped on it and took the tea.
She drank, dropped back the cup and grinned.
“I love this. Bread please.” She said and took two pieces of slice bread.
I shook my head as I watched her drink down the tea I just made for myself.
I came down, left the tea for her and walked out to take my bathe.
“I’m bathing with you oh.” She yelled and her footsteps followed.
This girl must be a wtch.

I was almost in the bathroom when she rushed in and ran into the bathroom before I did.
I stood at the door, fuming within.
“What’s it Lizzy? I thought you heard me when I said that I’m going to work.” I said.
She smiled and catwalked slowly forward, putting her hands on my chest and c@ressing it.
She bit her bottom lip, “Baby just let me spend another day here. My mom’s not home and im really scared of staying in that house.” She said in a really soft tone I could only describe as ‘sxy’
Is she tryna se.duce me into accepting her to stay back tonight again.

She brough her l!ps close to kss me but I faced away.
“I wanna take my bathe Lizzy. Go out od the way noww.” I said.
“Ofcos you will.” She said and shifted into the bathroom and I came in.
I pulled off my T-shirt and shorts.. She was there staring with a stupid smile.
I was about taking off my b0xer when I looked fiercely at her.
“Will you stand there staring? Go out!” I barked.
She crossed her arms, “There’s nothing bad in seeing my boyfriend take his bathe. Stop talking as if I’ve not been seeing it all this while and those days in school.” She said and winked.
Huh! I scoffed.
“And who is your boyfriend?” I asked.
“You ofcourse baby.” She said in that same ‘sxy’ tone.
I hissed.

… Valerie’s POV …
It was 2pm and I was driving back from the mall where I had gone to buy my kitchen untensils, pots, plates and foodstuffs.
I talked with Iyke before I went and he said he’s at work.
I told him I guess I’ll come over to his house tonight but he said it’s better he come over to my new house to feel how it is and make up for not coming yesterday.
I smiled recalling all we have said to each other on the phone.
About our love for each other.
I turned into Lareen Street which is my house street.
Just as I drove a little more towards house 33, which is my house, I sighted him.
Joy.
I slowed my car.
He was still on the same yesterday clothes with a tyre in his hand.
They were four kids around him.
They all had tyre with them.
They were laughing and pulling on his shirt…
Seconds later, he began running forward, riding the tyre and laughing and the kids loudly pursued him, riding their own tyre..
He ran pass my car with the kids and I watched him from the side-view mirror.
When they were out of sight.
I sped up my car and pulled up at my gate.
I got down and opened the gate and went back into my car.
I don’t know if I need a gateman.
Maybe I do.
I drove in, got down and closed the gate too.
Joy..
Playing tyre-ride with those little kids.
He look really matured.
What’s wrong?
……………………………………………
Later the night, Iyke showed up. G0sh! I was so excited.
He kept apologising for not coming yesterday.
He helped me arrange my kitchen and then he cooked.
Wow… This boyfriend of mine.
I love him so much…
*
We made breathtaking l0ve that night.
Though I had to miss him so much cause he still left that night, saying he’s leaving really early to work tomorrow.
“Im so sorry baby, I promise to come later after work. I’m just gonna leave so early to work tomorrow.” He had said.
“It’s fine hunnie. Just gonna miss you.” I had relpied.
“I’ll miss you more sugar. I swear.” He had said and we kssed before he got into his car and left.
