… Valerie’s POV (Continues ..
I had showered and pulled into a nightie.
Joy was staring at himself on the standing mirror beside the dressing table.
He was in his Pajamas.
“Joy come over.” I said.
He nodded and came over.

We lay down and just then, my phone beeped.
A message.
I opened it to see it was a message from the number that texted me two days ago.
Iyke!
I wanted to delete it but then decided to read it.
I opened the message.

**Honey, Valerie. I really need us to make things right between us.
Let’s forget about the past and move. Let’s open a new chapter of me and you so deeply inlove with each other. Give me another chance baby and I promise you with a swear that nothing will ever make you regret it again. I really love you so much Vale Please forgive me. I miss staring at those stars in your eyes and that amazing smile that you got. You are my world. I’ve been in pains since you left me. I’ve been incomplete without you. Please don’t let anyone replace me in your heart. Come back to me. I beg you.**

“Aunty Valerie. See. Tears. In your eyes.You. Are. crying.” Joy said coldly.
Huh? Have he been looking at me?
I deleted the message and shut my eyes.
Then I felt Joy’s thumb wipe my tears and then he snuggled me close to him and starts patting me slowly on the back.

I woke up the next day, totally better.
Joy wasn’t with them.
Has he woken up already?

I was about sitting up when the door opened and Joy came in with a saucer and a cup. Which I guess would be coffee.
I sat up and moved to the edge of the bed.
“Aunty Valerie.” He said coolly and walked over to me.
“Tea.” He said.
I smiled, “Oh.. thanks.” I said and took the saucer.
I drank a bit
It was sweet, smooth and warm.
He watched as I finished it up.
“Thanks Joy.” I smiled.
He took the saucer and cup.
“Aunty Valerie.” He called calmly.
“Yes?”
“Are we. Seeing. My friends. This morning?”
“No Joy, I’ll be back early so we can okay?”
He nodded.
“Aunty Valerie.”
Again?
“What is it again Joy?” I asked
“I. had. A. Dream.” He said coldly.
“Dream?”
“Bad. Dream” He nodded.
“Bad dream?” I raised my brow.
He nodded.
“What happened in the dream?” I asked.
“I have. Forgotten.” He said.
I arched my brow, “But you said it was a bad dream.”
He nodded.

“You don’t remember anything?” He shook his head.
“It’s okay. Nothing’s gonna happen ok?” I said.
He nodded.
I stood up.
“I’ll go take my bathe.” I said and walked into the bathroom.
As I took my bathe…my mind flashed back to Iyke.
His message.
I feel he’s truely sorry. I feel he has now realized his mistakw but it’s too late for that.
I’m already inlove with Joy.
I can’t let Iyke come into my life again.
I feel sorry for him now, knowinf he’s truely sorry and in regret.

Maybe I could give him back the car and maybe forget about selling the house anymore.
But nothing’s gonna make us be together again.
He’s out of my life and now that deepest side of my heart where I placed him had been taken by someone else.
Joy.

I have Joy now and soon, he’ll be mentally okay?
I’ve sent his mental and health check outs and conditions to Dr. Andrew Morgan and he had promised that he’s gonna try his possible best to treat Joy’s health.
I can’t just wait…

… Joy’s POV ..
I’m washing the dishes as I try so hard to remember the bad dream.
But I can’t!
I know I had a bad dream.. and then I woke up and it was morning!
Why can’t I remember the bad dream!
Ahh! It must have been Aunty Valerie’s head on my chest that made me forget it.
Because I was too happy..

Ahhg! I knocked my head angrily.
Why can’t it function well?
But I really need to remember the dream..
Ohh! Bad dream! bad dream.. Why did you disappear from this my head??

I want to remember you so I can tell Aunty Valerie.
Arggh! I knocked my head angrily again but ended up splashing soap water into my eyes
And there’s papper in!
“Ahheeeo!” I cried.
“Joy? What’s that?” Aunty Valerie is here.
Thank God.
“My eyes. My eyes. Pepper.” I cried.
“Oh my!” She said and seconds later, she bent my head towards where??
I can’t see coa my eyes are closed and peppery.
She began to wash my eyes with water.
“No.. Give. Me. Salt. Salt.” I cried.
I felt something pour into my palm and I poured it inside my mouth.
Salt.
Ahh! It released seconds later and I opened my eyes abit to see Aunty Valerie looking at me.
“Are you okay?” She asked, looking worried.
I nodded.
I love the way she is to me… So caring to me.
“Didn’t even thought of salt at all.” She chuckled, wiping the wetness on my face.
I was fine now.
My eyes are fully open.
Arghhs.

… Valerie’s POV ..
“What happened?” I asked.
Gosh! I got so scared.
He scratched his head.
“I was. trying. To remember. The dream.” I said.
Seriously?
“You were trying to remember the dream and then pepper got into your eyes?”
He nodded.
I sighed.
“Come on, come help me at the gate.” I said and he nodded.
Weird!

I closed woke early cos of taking Joy to go see his friends.
“You’re leaving so early today Vale.” Eva said.
“Yeah.. Something urgent. Take care of the rest.” I said and walked out.

Getting home, Joy opened the gate and I drove in.
He was looking really handsome
He hugged me immediately.
“Im. Happy. Im. going. to see. my. Friends todayyyy.” He said.
“You mean those ones I saw with you at the uncompleted building?” I asked.
“Yes!” He grinned.
I smiled.
Adultbaby.

He was dressed in a fine yellow shirt and black trouser.
I can say he look really good.
“I want.to. tell. them. So. many things.” He said.
“Oh what?” I asked.
“Shhh.” He placed a finger on my lips and laughed.
I chuckled.
He’s adorable.
“Aunty Valerie?” He called.
“Yes?”
“Can. I give. my. friends. yoghurt?” He asked.
“Oh.. alright.” I said.
He grinned “Thanks!” He said and hugged me tight.
I inhaled.
He pulled back and dashed to the kitchen..
I shook my head with a smile.
Everything about him is so childish but at the same time, amazing.
He came back minutes latee with a small basket filled in yoghurt drinks.
I smiled.
He’s so caring and knows his frienda would want something like this.
“Let’s. Go. before it. Gets dark.” He said happily and took my hand.
I smiled more.

… Iyke’s POV …
The taxi at Auren’s Street.
I handed him his money and reached for the door.
“Oga, your change.” He said.
Oh I totally forgot!
Why won’t I? When all i’ve been thinking through out the drive to here have been ‘Valerie’.
“Thanks man..” I took the three hundred naira from him and came down, shutting the door and he drove off.
I came to speak to Valerie..
I need to!
I need to let her understand that im deeply sorry.

I went to the hospital but found out she had gone. So I had to come down to her house.
I really need Vale in my life.
I really do.
I had walked a little bit when I saw her car packed beside.
Really?
“What’s Vale’s car doing here? Did it break down?”
I went over but then I sighted her.

She was in an uncompleted building with stood inside.
Not just her alone but with the insane guy, with some kids.
What in the world are they doing in such a place?
I watched them…
