… Valerie’s POV ..
“This. One. For. You….this. One. for. you. This. one.. for you…” I watched amazingly as Joy gave his friends each, one yoghurt drink.
When he was done doing that, he turned to me with a smile.
The kids danced and sang a silly funny song for him.
Inorder for the noise to die down, I asked;
“Who’s Sabi?”
“Na me.” The darkest kid among with bald head said.
I smiled.
“Me, I’m Dele.” Another said.
“Faruk.”
“Im Emma”
They all said their names.
I smiled.
“Alright.. lovely names. Im Valerie.” I said.
“Aunty Valerie, Are you his girlfriend?” The same kid that spoke good english that day, asked.
He said he’s name is ‘Solomon’
I was amazed at his question. He’s quite a little boy to ask such a question.
“She. Is. My. Friend.” Joy said.
“No.” I interjected.
They all stared at me to hear what I’m gonna say, including Joy.
“I’m.. his girlfriend.” I said.
“Ahhhhh!” They all cheered.
Joy blushed.
“Aunty. If you are his girlfriend, then kss him, so we’ll know, abi?” Solomon said.
“Yes Aunty kss him.” They said in unison.
It rang in my head like a bell.
I should kss him?
“I should do what?” I asked, just to be sure.
“Kss him.” They all said with a grin on their faces.
I should Kss him.
I should Kss him..
Joy raised his eyebrows and mumbled, “Uh?” as he stared at me and then at his friends, then at me.
Well…
I smiled.
“I will.” I said.
They grinned wider.
“Kss him… kss him. kss him..” They sang.
Oh silly.
“Uh..” Joy mumbled again as I came closer to him.
I smiled and gently kssed him..
On the l!ps… then withdrew.
“Yeeeeeee..” The kids cheered loudly.
Joy blushed with a shy smile.
I took his hand.
“He’s my boyfriend.” I said with a smile.
… Iyke’s POV ..
What the fk just happened?
Did I just see that?
Valerie just kssed that insane btch?
Ohh alright… Now I get it.
I was right.
Now im gonna deal with that idi0t.
How can Valerie even be so stupid to be inlove with an insane guy?
Well, I don’t care.
I must end his life.
They started coming out with Vale holding his hand.
I fumed and walked away.
A taxi came by and I entered.
“Wait a bit. I want to see something.” I said.
He seem confuse but waited.
I saw them came out and then entered her car.
I felt so angry.
My heart burned with hatred for him.
I’ll deal with him!
“Go now. Thanks.”I said to the taxi driver and he zoomed off.
D@mn it!
So it’s been that fool!
How could Valerie be so clumsy.
This sht is gonna end!
Vale is mine.
How can I loose Vale for that insane b@stard?

… Valerie’s POV ..
We were back home…
I still smile at what happened there with Joy’s friends.
Kss him… kss him… and I did!
Ohh!
“Aunty Valerie. Why. Are. You. Smiling?” Joy asked.
We were sitting on the three-sitter couch.
We sat close to each other.
Uh? waa I?
“I wasn’t smiling.” I said.
“No. You.were.” He said.
“Oh..Alright.” I said.

Night came..
We prepared fried egg and plantain for dinner.
We ate together and washed the dishes.
*
I was in my room. I had just taken my shower and was waiting for Joy to come in so we could sleep..
Just then, a call came in my phone.
An unsaved number.
I knew it would be no one else but Iyke, but I picked the call.
I wonder why I did.
“Vale..” His voice came in.
He sounded gloomy and deep.
“Iyke” I said.
“Vale, Why can’t you listen to me?” He asked.
It seemed as if he’s crying or is he drunk?
“I don’t need to listen to your lies.” I spat. Even though I was feeling how sad he might be now.
He’s truely in pains.
“I love you Valerie I swear it. Im crazily inlove with you. I want you back. I want you backk.. I miss everything about you.” He cried.
I shut my eyes as I felt for his cries.
I swallowed.
“Vale, don’t leave me this way. Nobody deserves you better than I do right now. I need you in my life. My life is incomplete without you. Baby im so sorry. Im sorry.” He broke down into a cry.
My palm felt sweaty.
I tried hard to hold back my tears.
“Vale, im truely sorry. Im dying inside. Just give me a second cha –” I cut him short!
“I can’t… You are a m0nster! You areout of my life for good, forever! I got a better person in my life now and thank goodness you left so he could come in. He’s the best.” I barked angrily.
My tears started now.
I tried hard not to sniffle, so he doesn’t know im in tears.
“Vale, please get him out of your life and I promise to be better than him. And the best for you.” He said.
“You will never be better than him! I hate you Iyke. I hate you!”
“Because of him” He said.
“I love him so much and he does too.” I hit the ‘end call’.
Just then, the door opened and Joy came in, dressed in his night wear.
He came over and sat beside me on the bed.
I wiped my tears and sniffled.
He stared closely at me.
“Aunty Valerie. Why. are. You. Crying?”
I sniffled again, “Don’t worry about it. I’ll be fine.” I said.
He shook his head, then suprised me by pulling me to him.
“I’m. Sorry. Oya. Sleep. If you.Don’t. Want. To. tell. me.” He said.
I forced a smile as I rested my head on his shoulder.
“Sleep. Sleep. Sleep…” He mumbled continously as he softly patted my back gently…. Just like he did yesterday night.
It’s now like a routine that I cry each night and Joy cuddles me and pats my back till I fall asleep?
I smiled and blinked as a tear rolled down.
He’s so affectionate.
He’s so adorable.
He’s so funny.
So lovely..
He makes me smile.
He’s so wierd and childish behaved..but they make him seem so amazing.. to me.
I don’t regret saving me.. and I don’t regret falling inlove with him.. and knowing that he sincerely love me too.
“I love you.” I whispered to him.
“Uh..I. Love. You. too.” He said, then he began to stroke my hair slowly.
“I..like you. Hair.” He said.
I smiled.
“I like your hair too.” I said and loosened the hairband holding his hair…and his hair fell to his shoulders.
I stroke his hair too just the way he was doing to mine.
He giggled softly at that.
I smiled.
“I love you Joy, you know that right?” I said.
He nodded.
“Yes.” He said.
I pulled back and stared into his brown hazel eyes..
The most charming eyes I’ve ever seen.
“You are adorable Joy. I just wish you get okay soon.” I said coolly.
“But.. I’m. Well. I’m. Not. Sick.” He mumbled with a raised eyebrows and pouted bottom lip.
I smiled.
“I know.” I said, then brought my face close to his and placed my l!ps on his.

… Iyke’s POV …
I gulped down the rest of the alcohol and grabbed another full bottle.
I stared at the gun laying on the table beside the empty bottles.
I gulped down a little of the drink then dropped it back on the table..
I picked the gun and scanned it.
Silencer.
“I’m ending that guy’s fking life with this. I cant watch him take away Joy from me with his insanity.”
I dropped the gun and took a cigarette.
I Lighted it and smoked, puffed.
I can’t wait any longer..
It’s either I have Valerie or nobody else do!
…………………………………………
Something is about to burst out.
Hmmm…
Joy is in danger
