.
.
… Iyke’s POV ..
I woke up too early..
D@mn…I know. I could’t sleep cos I was thinking about Valerie and drinking..
Smoking..
I tossed and turned on my bed.
The wall clock ticked Six o’clock.
The AC was on but I still felt sweaty.
I feel like im gonna get fking sick.
I got down from the bed.
I walked into the bathroom and over to the sink.
I splashed water on my face as I stared at myself on the mirror.
I breathed.
I know I’ve been a fool.
A total idi0ot!
I messed up but how can I just let go?
How can I loose Valerie?
She was the best!
She has everything! She loved me! so deeply.
Fk! But can’t just let go.
I need Valerie in my damn life!
I need her! So im not quiting! Im gonna do everything within me to get her back.
And…and she said there’s a better person in her heart now.
Who can that be?
I don’t mind ending his life! I don’t mind doing everything just to get Valerie back!
It’s never too late.
I’m gonna get you back Valerie.

I walked out and went over to the beside table.
I picked up something.
It was the engagement ring.
The fake proposal.
I found it that night at the door.
A teae fell off my eye and I wiped it off quickly and dropped back the ring.
“Who’s that person in Vale’s life that wanna take her away from me? How do I just find the damn person?” I fell back on my bed as thoughts filled up my mind.
“And.. that ‘Joy’, does he have anything to do with this?”
Oh Valerie can’t be so stupid to fall for an Insane b@stard.
I just hope I find the stupid guy in her life and just deal with him.
I will end his life! In whatever way I can.
I need Valerie back to me.
I miss her. And I’ve realize my mistakes.
D@mn me!

… Valerie’s POV ..
I was already dressed for work.
I kssed Joy who sat on my bed, staring at me.
“Hey, be safe Have enough sleep and eat. I’ll be back on time ok?” I smiled and touched his cheek and he blushed.
“Aunty Valerie. When. You. Are. back. I will. Tell. you. something.” He said.
“Can’t you tell it to me now?”
He shook his head.
“Fine. When im back then.” I said.

As I drove out to work, a smile displayed on my lips as I remembered how this morning with Joy had been.
I woke up to find my head resting on his chest… and also half of my body on his.
Our legs crossed each other and he had his arm on my back.
Argggh!
I smiled and tried to get off him but he held me tight.
Isn’t he sleeping? and why don’t he wanna let me get off him?
How did we even end up sleeping this way?
He snuggled me more close and sighed in his sleep.
I tried getting off him again and this time, he let go.
I smiled and kissed his cheek before heading to the bathroom.
When I got back he wasn’t in again… but as I walked out to the kitchen, he was there, mopping.
He saw me and turned over.. then raised the mopping stick.
“It. Looks. Like. Me. Right?” He grinned, referring to the mopping stick.
“How?”I asked, confused.
He touched his hair and the mopping stick head and grinned again.
I laughed.
Oh my!
“No.. it doesn’t in anway look like my cute Joy.” I said and walked over to him.
He blushed.
“Thanks.” He mumbled.
But minutes after minutes, I found myself laughing over that cos in some kinda way , He kinda look like the mopping stick.
With such long dada.
But I love him and nothing else matters.

I got to work and few minutes later in my office, A knock came in.
“Come in.” I said.
The door opened and it was Maureen.
“Goodmorning Dr. Valerie.” She smiled.
“Goodmorning Maureen. How are you doing?” I smiled back.
“Sorry for not coming to..greet you yesterday.” She said.
“Oh that.. You have better reasons why you are here. Focus more on them.” I said.
“Thanks alot Doctor. You need me to do anything for you?” She asked.
“Well, I guess you should help call me a nurse. I need some files to be taken to Dr. Femi’s desk.” I said.
“Let me take them to him.” She offered.
“Oh.. I’do prefer a nurse to do that.” I said.
“Alright Doctor.” She said, turned and walked out.

Work was over and as I prepared to leave, I called on Maureen to help take away some trash papers.
She came and did just that.
“Bye Dr.” She said.
“Bye Maureen.”

I got home and did as usual. Joy opened the gate minutes later.
He wore a grey polo and black short which looked perfect on him.
Wow… He’s really built.
Didn’t I notice this all this while?
The polo was kinda tight on him.
Wow, he’s so cute… maybe more cute today.
Like everyday.
Oh.. get down from the car Valerie!
I got down from the car.
“J .O. Y” I called him.
He smiled shly, making me get excited to see his dimples.
I kssed him and he blushed.
“Okay. Let’s go in.” I said and took his hand as we walked in.
*
Getting in, “Wow!” I was marvelled.
The sitting-room was different and sparkling.
“Joy did you do this?” I asked.
“I.cleaned.” He smiled.
“Wow. You are just too lovely. Come here.” I smiled and pulled him into a warm hug, then kssed him.
“Come. Let. me. Show. you.” He said and pulled me as we headed into my bedroom.
Oh my!
He tidied up everything. Even though my room is never untidy but it was different. Much more lovely.
How did he even do it?
I turned to him.
“Joy, Wow. Im amazed you can really tidy up a house so well.” I said.
“Come.” He said and pulled me again and we went to the kitchen.
Wow.. same here.
Wow. I’ve been saying ‘wow’ alot since I came in.
“Aunty Valerie sit.” He said and went over to the fridge.
I watched him as I sat on the breakfast bar.
He took out a juice from the fridge and a glass cup, closed back the fridge, walked over and placed it in front of me.
He opened the juice and poured into the glass almost to the full.
“Joy. What’s it? Where’s your cup?” I asked with a weird look.
He sat down.
“Aunty Valerie. Drink.” He said.
I narrowed my eyes at him.
“Are you sure I should?” I said as I studied his face and the drink.
He nodded.
“It’s sweet.” He said.
“I know.” I said.
“Drink. Small. So I. can.Tell you what. I said.. I. will .tell you.” He said.
I shrugged and took a sip.
“Will. You. take small. Again?” He said.
“Okay.” I said and died. I finished almost all of it.
“Aunty Valerie.” He called coolly.
“Yes?” I answered.
“Do you. Really. Love. Me?” He asked.
“Yes Joy. I love you.” I said.
“Then please. Let. Me. see Sabi and. My. other. Friends. Tomorrow.” He said.
Oh oh oh!
“Is that what you wanted to tell me?” I asked.
He nodded.
“Fine. I will let you see them okay?” He grinned.
“Thank you!” He said he rushed to the fridge, took a cup, came back… Poured the whole of the juice into the cup and gulped all of it..
He grinned.
Then took the empty juice pack and shook it to check if there’s still left inside.
Nothing.. Nothing at all.
He calmed down and then looked at me.
“I’m.sorry” He mumbled.
I raised my eyevbows..“Sorry for what?”
“For. Finishing. Up. The juice.” He said.
“It’s fine.” I said and stood up to go wash my the cups but he grabbed them before me and winked.
Did he just winked at me?
Oh my!
He’s just happy, I guess.
He turned and walked over to the sink.
I watched him with a smile..
