Next Day
… Valerie’s POV (continues …
On my way home, I stopped at a clothe-shop and quickly bought few clothes for Joy
*
I horned immediately I got to the gate.
I waited but nothing happened.
Where is Joy?
I hornned again..
Joy didnt come.
What’s happening?
Okay, it was frustrating… I horned a million times before the gate finally opened and I spent almost thirty minutes out here.
I drove in.
“Joy, what happened! I spent thirty minutes out there. Haba!” I said immediately I came down and he came back.
He faced down.
He had the other clothe I bought for him.
A red shirt and black trouser.
He looked really good at it.
He shook his head.
“Sorry.” He said and looked up at me with a childish face and he pouted bottom lip.
I almost smiled cos it made him look so cute and babyish.
I sighed instead.
“I didn’t tell you to apologise. I wanna know why you came out late.” I said and walked pass him to the door.
Im going out with Iyke. I can’t stand here talking with this adult-baby here.
“When. I. Heard. Your car horn. I. Rushed to take. My. Bathe. I don’t. Want. You to be. Angry with. Me. That. I’ve not bathe since. Morning.” He said behind me.
I stopped, turned to him and chuckled.
He still had that face with his bottom lip pouted.
“Here.” I stretched the shopping bag to him.
He took it and and peeped into it.

Now, to avoid another hug, I quickly turned and walked towards my room.
“Im going out. Don’t come to my room. I’m dressing up.” I said aloud to him and finally walked in.

Iyke call came in, and I picked up after shutting the door.
“Hi sweetie.” I spoke first.
“You getting ready baby. I’m almost at your house.” He said.
I grinned, “Gosh, I just came back from work. Im about dressing up.” I said.
“Im coming in then, right?” He asked.
Oh my! That was when I remembered ‘Joy’ is here.
I just hope he doesn’t think shit when he sees Joy.
‘Joy is just a sick person, Im treating on. He’s going back to the hospital in few days.’
Yeah! that’s what im gonna explain to him.
“Babe are you there?” His voice shook me out of my thoughts.
“Yes dear. Text me when you get reach.” I said.
“Alright sweetie. Love you.”
“Love you.”
I threw the phone on the bed and rushed for something better.
A red sleeveless gown and creamy shoes, matched with a red purse.
I was about fixing my hair well, when a text came in.
Iyke.
**I’m at your gate honeypie**
I was done already..

So I picked my purse, with my phone, spread some perfume and opening the door, was almost bumping into Joy cos he was right there at my door.
“Oh.. what’s it Joy? im heading out with my boyfriend. I’ll be home tonight but if you don’t see me, take something and go sleep. Don’t come out till you hear a car drive off okay?” I said and rushed pass him.
“Aunty Valerie.” He called, stopping me.
“What’s it?” I asked.
“Thank. You. for the. Clothes.” He said.
I rolled my eyes, “Alright. Bye.”
“Bye.” He said really coldly.
I rushed out and over to the gate, checked behind to be sure Joy isn’t behind me.
He wasn’t.
I opened the gate, closed it back.
Iyke was leaning on his car, his eyes on his phone.
He looked up with a smile when he I came out.
I pretended like I was locking the gate.
Few seconds later, I walked up to him.
He looked superb in black jeans and white polo shirt.
“Hey babyyyy… missed youuu.” He said and hugged me and we kissed.
“Missed you too.” I said with a smile.
He rested his two hands on my butt as he looked into my eyes.
I did same.
I’ve missed him really much.
“So my most special lady, do you want Unique?” He said with a wink.
“Yeap.” I smiled.
“And after unique,?” He asked with another wink.
I laughed.
He smiled and kssed me.
“C’mon, let’s go sugar..” He said.
I smiled as we entered into his car.
He drove off.
Im so relieved he didn’t get to see Joy.
……………………………………

… Joy’s POV …
My friend is out…
Now im alone in this big house..
Watching cartoon.
I’m hungry.
I yawned and got up.
I walked into the kitchen and opened tje fridge.
Bread and butter.

I brought them out and took them to the sitting-room. (Leaving the fridge open)
I sat down on my new favourite seat, the longest one. Purple.
I hate purple but I like the the seat.

I just pray my friend come back soon and seat beside me.
And we watch this.
Mtcheeww,
“”This. One. Is. Not. Interesting.”
I took the remote and change it to..I don’t know.
They are fighting. (Wrestling.)
Aha.
“Yesssss!”
*

(Minutes later)
,“Why. did. You. Kill. My. Friend. I will. Kill. You too.”
I will kill this fat man who killed my friend.
Im so angry, I threw my bread and the butter cup away and I rushed to the fat man (TV)
“Why. Did. You. Kill my friend?. Why? Bye. bye to you.” I gave him a hard blow on his fat nose but then he disappeared.

I didn’t see him or the people hailing him again.
Everything is now black and the screen had broken.
I gasped with my hands on my mouth.
I now remember I was watching a Tv and not a real fight.
“Jesus, Aunty Valerie. Have killed me..”
What will I do?
I forgot I was watching a tv fight not a real fight.
Im going to run away.
I have spoil the tv.
Aunty Valerie will Kill me.
I tried to run to my room but I don’t know what made me slip and I fell, hitting my bom-bom on the floor.
Again today?
“Ahhh.” I cried, rubbing my b.utt.

I stood up and walked to the bedroom Aunty Valerie gave me to sleep.
I picked the bag of clothes she bought for me and ran out, taking one last look at the house.
I ran out of the house with tears rolling down my eyes.

… Valerie’s POV (continues …

“Baby, this money is really important to my family. I have two hundred thousand. I just need five hundred to complete it. My uncle’s bad health is so critical. He’s the only relation I got. Chioma is really on my neck. Her father is the only person she has left.” Iyke cried as we drove back home.
There at unique love garden, had been great.
We laughed, kissed, fed each other and talked about how much we love each other and how we gonna build a family soon.
But now, everything changed when he began telling the sad story of his sick uncle. Chioma’s dad.
“His sickness unexplanable. He has been taken to many hospitals but nonthing improved. That was the reason Chioma came, but I couldn’t let you know the reason, cos I never wanna bother you on this, but now, I can’t do anything. Baby, they took him to a local herbalist and things he required arised to this amount and we really need to bring them fast before it’s too late. I don’t wanna lose my uncle. Chioma would end her life.” He cried more.
Tears fell.
I couldn’t help it.

“Baby, you are driving. Don’t cry okay. I’ll give you the money to treat your dad. If it was a thing hospitals could solve, I could have made quick calls for him to be brought to Olando’s hospital. I wpuld have done my best with other professional doctors but like you told me, they confirmed its a spiritual thing. I’ll send the money tomorrow, so you go treat your Uncle..” I said with an assuring smile and he hugged me.
“Oh.. my God! Iyke, you are driving!!” I yelled, scared.
He smiled. “Thanks baby. I really appreciate. I don’t know what I woud have done without you, I swear. You are my life Valerie. I can’t wait to introduce Chioma to you. Gosh she’ll be so happy to hear this. Gosh. Finally, my uncle is not gonna die. Whooah. Babe, I’m spending the night there.” He said.
No you can’t. Joy!
“No. Let’s go to your house okay? Lemme spend the night with you there.” I said.
He shook his head with a happy smile.
“No sugar… Your house. C’mon. Dont say no okay?” He said.
“Iyke, I really wa–” He cut me short with his finger on my lip.
“Shhh…” He said and played one of favourite song.
*
*
We got to my gate.
I swallowed.
“I’ll go open the gate. Gimme the key.” He said.
I inhaled.
How do I tell him this.
“Baby, I got someone in my house actually.” I said calmly.
He smiled, “Oh.. great. A gateman.” He said and horned.
“No. not a gateman. Actually he’s on Medical treatment. He’s an adult-child. He’s in my house for now and I check him each morning and night, and treat him. He’ll be taken back to the hospital in few days.” I said.
He raised his eyebrows and pouted his mouth in an ‘O’ shape.
“No probs sweetie..” He said and horned again.
Again..
Again..
Oh my God! Not again.
What’s it this time!.
“Is he deaf as well?” Iyke said, getting me upset a bit but I swallowed that.
“He isn’t. I’ll go check the gate.” I said and came down.
I checked the gate and found out it was open.
Joy didn’t close the gate…

What a clumsy human being!
What if some things have found out and robbed my house.
What would have happened to Joy that he’s not yet aware that it’s here the horning car is.
It’s just ten o’clock.
I pushed the gate open Iyke drove in.
I closed it back and Iyke came down.
“Babe, like seriously your gate wasn’t locked.” He said.
I ignored him and walked ahead.
I got into the house and whoa..
What I met first was really excellent.
Handiwork of who else but ‘Joy’
“Joy had destroyed my Tv.” I said.
“Joy is his name?” Iyke asked and walked over to the Tv.
“Babe, Look at bread and butter everywhere here.” Iyke said.
I sighed.
I know how much this TV cost me.
“Where is he anyways? Joy! Joy!” I called, going into his room but when I opened it, he wasn’t in.
I searched the bathroom.
He isn’t.
Wow… This is not happening.
“Joy, where are you?” I kept calling as I searched the other guest room and eve my room.
I didn’t find him.

“Joy?” I finally searched the last place, kitchen and Oh my goodness!!
My fridge was wide open with the yellow light on.
I quickly rushed and closed it.
“Jesus Christ!” I exclaimed.
Joy had run out of this house… To where?
To the streets?
Why?
Was he scared I’do hurt him for breaking my TV screen…

Or did he break my tv intentionally and then left?
No, Joy can’t do that. I’ve known him for just few days but he can’t intentionally break my Tv screen.
I walked out to meet Iyke coming towards.
“He’s gone.” I said.
“What are you gonna do?” He asked.
“Look for him.” I said and walked pass him. I grabbed my car keys on the table.
“You going to look for some insane man this late? Come on baby, you can do thst we in the morning… I mean we can.” He said.
“We need to find him this night.” I said and walked out.
*
*
… Iyke’s POV …
We searched the whole the street and the next but didn’t see the so called Joy.
“Joy, where did you hide. Joy.” Valerie kept mumbling to herself.

I can’t wait to see this Joy..
Well whatever, she’s sending me the cash tomorrow and that’s all that matter.
I don’t mind searching the whole night for the Joy for that five hundred thousand.
Sick uncle indeed.
Chuckle.
“Why did you smile?” She asked.
uh?
“Did I?” I asked.
“Yeah you did.” She said.
“Oh.. I dont know. Stop mumbling to yourself baby, we’ll find him.” I said.
But we didn’t after many hours of searching.
I was already exausted.
“Let’s go home baby…You’ll definitely find him in the morning.” I said.
She nodded.
Thank God! I drove back to her house.

“Iyke, stop okay?, im so worried tonight to have sx.” She said after I pulled her into the house and tried my hands on her gown.
“Shhh, babe, you’ll find him tomorrow. Lemme make you feel better.” I said and pulled 0ff her clothe.
What’s my fking business with the Joy if he gets fking lost.
So I shouldn’t satisfy my burning desire cos of some insane idi0t.

I got my hands behind her back to unh00k her b*a
She pushed her hair back.
“You can’t resist my touch you know that, don’t you?” I whispered into her ears and bit her earlobe, causing her to m0an.

I smiled….
I know she can’t.
“Let’s not do this toni–” I cut her short with a kss.
