“Get off me!!” I yelled immediately and he jumped back, frightened.
“Gosh why did you had to hu..to hug me! You could have just said ‘thank you’ rather than… than. Jesus Christ!” I seethe, rolled my eyes and walked to my room.

I heard him say behind, “I..Im. Sorry.”
I pushed the door and walked into my room, closing the door.
I rolled my eyes, “Oh my God! what just happened? That adult-baby just hugged me! Am I dreaming? What the h.eck! Jesus Christ!”
I quickly rushed to the bathroom to wash myself.

I dressed up, putting a white shirt over a black trouser and a black heels.
I dressed my hair and applied a light make up on my face.
After which I took my bag and the file and walked out.
Remembering, Iyke. I checked my phone and found out he actually sent a message when I probably went to bathe.
**Goodmorning Love, I’m really sorry, I’ve been so busy. I love you.**
I quickly sent him,
**It’s fine sweets. Im off to work. Love you more.**

I met Joy at the sitting-room in a new trouser, shirt and slippers.
He looked really better except for his still messy hair.
He carried the red bag.
“If you leave now, where are you gonna stay. Where have you been staying?” I asked as I walked pass him to the door.
“I. Live. With. Gogo.” He said.
“Who is Gogo?”
“He’s. My. Friend. But. He. Beats. Me. Too.” He said.
“Now, I really want to know about your home but im late for work. Come on.” I said and walked out with him following behind.
I locked the entrance door and he began running towards the gate.
“Where are you going to?” I asked but he didn’t reply.
He got to the gate and pulled it open.

I smiled, shook my head and went to my car.
When I drove out of the gate, He came out and closed it back.
Then came to the window.
“There’s a key there at the lock., lock the gate with it.” I said and he ran back and did it.

When he came back, I told him to come in lemme drop him off.
“Is Gogo’s house in this street?” I asked.
He nodded.
“Then come in, let me drop you there.” I said but he shook his head.
“Why?” I asked.
“I Don’t Want Gogo to. Lock. Me. Inside.” He said coldly.
“Why would he do that?” I asked, suprised.
“If. He. See. That I slept at someone’s. House. He. Will. be Very. Angry.” He said.
I chuckled. Funny.
“It’s okay.” I said. Then I searched inside my bag, took out some money and stretched it to him.

“Feed yourself with it for awhile.” I said.
He took it and smiled shyly.
“Thank. You.” He said.
I waved him bye, wind up my window glass and drove off.

… Joy’s POV …
Im crying because she is saying ‘bye’ to me.
I will miss her so much…
I wish I’ll be her friend.. And live with her.
I don’t want to stay with Gogo again.
I want to stay with Aunty Valerie.

I walked to the gate and sat down on the floor, crying.
I jumped up, remembering I’m wearing a new clothe.
Ohhhhm! I’ve dirtied it!
Aunty Valerie will now be angry with me when she comes back.
Joy oh. See what you have done to your new clothe!
Aunty Valerie will not beat me, but she will shout at me.
I started crying.
I don’t want Aunty Valerie to shout at meeeeeeeee.

… Valerie’s POV (continues …

At work, I couldn’t hide it from Eva.
I told her about Joy knocking at my gate last night and asking me to save him which I did after battling with my thoughts..

Then he had to spend the night at the guest room cos he was crying that he doesn’t wanna go out and the childish manner inwhich he talks.
Then, I told her about him, breaking my cup and pushing them inside the kitchen cupboards which made Eva laugh so well.
Told her also about the way he ate there at the dinning and how awkwardly I saw him sleep. Which she laughed too.
‘But’ I excluded the ‘Seeing him naked’ part.
I just can’t tell her that ‘I saw him unclad’.
Goodness me.
“God! That guy is really an adult-baby.” She said.
I chuckled.

“I ordered a clothe for him this morning and gave him some money to feed himself for awhile. He said he lives with a friend named Gogo but told me the so called Gogo maltreats him.” I narrated.
She shook her head.“ Seriously that cute guy needs help. What do we do?” Eva asked.
“I don’t know, but the truth is that he hugged me when I gave that clothes to him. I feel I could help this guy but I dont wanna admit that.” I said truthfully.

Eva gasped, “He hugged you like for real?” she asked.
“Yeah. He was so happy. I’m telling you the truth dear friend, his childish way kind of make him around. You can’t believe while I was in my office, I was thinking of looking for him so he’do spend another night in my house. It’s so funny right?.” I said and she twisted her lips.
“It’s not. There’s nothing wrong with that friend.” She said.
I sighed.

“I really wanna ask him about his home, his family. He told me he has no home since a year now. Can you believe that? Im thinking there’s something behind his childish behaviour.” I said.
She shrugged.
“Well, I guess you should ask him about his family.” She said.

… Eva’s POV …
I remembered Iyke.
I saw him in the morning at the filling-station.
He came to fill his car likewise me.
I talked with him and I can’t believe what he begged me after.

He told me not to let Vale know that I saw him.
Seriously, I asked why but he just begged me instead not to do it and then drove off.
I hate that guy.
Valerie is so blind to see what he is really made of.
He thinks I can cover him up so he’ll keep hurting my friend, but to hell with him.
He came to the wrong girl anyways.
I looked at Vale with a wide smile, I need to find out why he wanted me to keep that from her.
“So we’ve been talking about Joy Weirdo. What about Iyke?” I asked.
She smiled. Always the way she do when Iyke is mentioned.
Someone is really loving the wrong person here.
I wish I could just smack that stupid love for Iyke out of her head.

“He’s fine. He told me he had to leave really early to work today. He’s really hardworking you know.” She said, causing my mouth to drop open.
“Iyke left early to work?” I asked, cos the Iyke I saw, was at the filling station by 8am.
“Yeah.” She said.
“How early?” I asked.

“Umm.. I think around six cos the time I called his lines and sent him a message was around seven. He called later telling me he was already at work by then.” She said and I chuckled in total amazement.

Iyke really is doing something behind her back..
“Why is your face like that?” She asked.
“My face? Nothing.” I said.
She shrugged.
I couldn’t tell her about it…
Iyke is cheating on her again!

… Valerie’s POV (continues …
After work was over, I met with Eva and she said she had a date with Emeka which she begged me to forgive her for not telling me earlier.
I smiled and waved her ‘Goodbye’ as she ran off..

I was walking back to my office to pack up my things and head home when a really fair complexioned girl in a lab coat, tall and slim fitted walked towards and when she got to me, she greeted and was about walking away when I called her back.
“Are you one of the new Interns?” I asked her with my hands in my pockets.
“Yes ma.” She answered with her head down.
“Your name?” I asked.
“Maureen Granson.” She answered.
“Go on.” I said.
She walked away..
I smiled as I watched her.
She look like an halfcaste… natural wavy and curly hair packed in a ponytail.
She reminded me of Joy who also look like an halfcast.
I turned and walked to my office.

I had just turned into the street when I sighted something awful.
Joy was been beaten mercilessly by three guys.
He was screaming but they were bent on killing him.
“My God!!” I gasped and rushed down from my car.
