๐งก VALERIE’S POV Continues ๐งก
Im on the couch, a cigarette in one hand and an acohol in the other hand.
โI’ve been such an asshole!โ I spat as I gulped from the alcohol.
โVale was so good… She was the best. Why didn’t I fucking realise that? Why was I focused on the money!โ I cried.
โNow, she doesn’t wanna listen to me! Im regretting every damn things I’ve done to her. Im regretting. I love Vale so much. I never thought I will. I really want everything to come back to how we were.โ I cried and gulped another bottle then smoked.
This is what I’ve been here, sitting and doing for the past one hour now.
Eight empty bottles and im on the nineth.
Joy!
Who’s really that guy?
Why must it be Vale that would keep him in her house?
Psycho’s are not meant to stay in the house but at the psychiatric hospitals.
Valerie isn’t even a psychistrist!
Why should she be keep a psycho in her house.
Could…. Could he be the reason why Vale is refusing my apologies?
I noticed her smiling at him that night she took my car!
She took the car!
Vale could never do this to me..
She had caught me so many times cheating on her, I apologise and she accept so easily but…. Everything isn’t right anymore.
Vale said ‘It’s over!’ and she was damn serious.
โShit!โ I gulped down the alcohol.
What do I just do! I can’t loose Valerie.
๐งก VALERIE’S POV Continues ๐งก
โChineke, Aunty Valerie!โ Sheddy shouted as I drove into the house.
I shot him a glare.
โJust a week Sheddy and you’ve forgotten what I told you.โ I said to him.
He scratched his head.
โWhat did you tell me please? I’ve totally forgotten.โ He said.
โWhat did I tell you to call me?โ I asked him.
He gasped.
โOh im so sorry. I forgot.โ He said.
โMom is in right?โ I asked.
โYes she is.โ He answered.
I walked into the house..
Mom is in the sitting room…
She stood up with a smile..
โWow.. Valerie. You look good..โ Mom said as I hugged her.
โOh mom.. You know you look more good.โ I said.
โWhere’s Benita?โ I asked.
โShe’s in the kitchen.โ Mom said.
โIm here! Sister!โ That was Benita as she ran out and jumped on me in a hug.
Wow.. She looked good.
โJust a week and wow… you look good Benita.โ I smiled.
โAhh Sister. you want my head to burst abi.โ She laughed.
โSister do you know that only Brother Michael is coming next week?โ Benita said.
I looked at mom. Why?
โYour Dad is can’t come. He’s really busy with his works.โ Mom said.
โAnd why is she so happy that Michael is coming?โ Mom said.
โNothing Madam.โ Benita said.
โGo back to the kitchen.โ Mom said and she smiled and turned back towards the kitchen.
I glanced at mom while mom glanced at me.
She shook her head.
โBenita won’t let me rest this days. She’s always asking about Michael. When he’s coming. When he’s coming. I finally had to tell her last night that it’s next week after I spoke wit him.โ Mom said as we sat on the couch.
โIt’s obvious she likes him. That’s not bad.โ I said.
Mom chuckled.
โSo honey, We are almost done with the meals we were preparing for your visit. Your mom have missed you.โ Mom said.
I laughed.
โMom im fine..โ I smiled.
โAbout that idiot. I hope he hasn’t brainwashed you again.โ Mom said.
โOh mom. Stop it.. You shouldn’t blame me. I loved him so much.. I was blinded by love. But now,. I’ve realised the kind of stupid person I was to love such a cheater and a scammer.โ I said.
Mom hugged me.
โIt’s okay honey. Im happy he’s out of your life. I advise you to be quick in throwing him out of that house before he sell it out.. Even though you have the documents. Such people can do unbelievable illegal things… โ Mom said.
I nodded. โBefore this week ends..Im sure that house would be sold. I’ve already gotten two people who are interested in buying the house.โ I told mom.
โThat is so good.โ Mom said.
โIm gonna call Michael tonight.โ I said.
โHe asked about you, he’s really missing every one.โ I said.
I smiled.
โI’do see his pictures with a particular girl on facebook. He’s gonna explain to me when he come.โ Mom said and I laughed.
โWhat’s wrong there mom?โ
She shot me a glare.
I bursted into laughter.
โLet me go check Benita and the food.โ Mom said and stood up.
I stood up too, โYou guys shouldn’t make me look like a stranger here. Im the daughter of this big house and you guys are aware of that.โ I said and followed her.
โAnd you decided to leave us to live alone right? Im not done talking that with you.โ Mom said, making me to laugh again.
โMom! your new hair look really beautiful. Which saloon?โ I asked.
โKinkyGlamour.โ She said.
โWow..โ
Benita was facing the counter, washing dishes in the sink.
โMadam, the food don done. I just wan wash this plates. Sister.. Na me cook the food oh.โ Benita said, grinning.
โValerie, I’ve told this silly girl severally not to use that name ‘Madam’ to me. She won’t just listen.โ Mom said.
โBenita… Mom is much better. Every sales girl and guy in my mom’s boutique call her ‘mom’.. My mom don’t like her being called ‘Madam’โ I said.
โI dey try to stop am… but e no dey gree.โ Benita said.
โAnd it’s time you stop speaking pidgin. How do you even interact with your teachers and class mates in school? With pidgin english?โ
โSister I go learn.. I go learn.โ
โWe’ve heard. Just learn it soon before Michael comes back cos he hates anyone who speaks pidgin to him.โ Mom smirked.
Ahh mom! That’s a lie.
Benita paused.
โI go learn good english before next week reach.โ Benita said.
โBenita!โ Mom called.
โYes ma.โ
โBring out the dishes..โ
โYes ma.โ
I laughed.
My family! I’ve missed them.
The Meals were great…
Mom asked about work and I was glad to say it has been great.
I couldn’t just wait for dad to come home.
The hospital had missed him and needs his presence.
Mom also said she’s about opening another bouique, more larger than the present one.
Benita told me she’s among the school girl runners.
Who would run during the school end of the year sport competition.
โI dey Fallen Angels house. I know say I go win.โ She said.
โFallen Angels?โ I asked.
โNa White house.โ She said.
โOh.. I trust that you gonna win for your house.โ I said.
โYes. We get Glamour house, that one na Yellow house. We get Crown house that one na Red house.. Ahh I hate red house ehn, dey too dey–โ
โBenita.. Eat your food.โ Mom said.
โYes ma.โ
An Hour Later…
Im in Benita’s room…sitting beside Benita on her bed..
Mom rushed out to meet with a costumer who just called her on the phone.
She said she’ll be back in an hour or before that.
โWho is this Sister… He’s pretty.โ Benita said as she stared at Joy’s pictures.
He’s pretty?
โYou can’t say a guy is pretty… You can say he’s cute or handsome. Pretty and beautiful are meant for females.โ I said.
She nodded.
โHe’s cute and he also handsome. He be look like oyiboโ She said.
โ..why he get long dada..?โ
โBenita… Can you promise not to let mom know about this? You are eighteen years and should know how to minimize the way you talk and keep secrets right?โ
โI promise Sister. My mouth dey close.โ She said, holding her mouth with her fingers.
โHis name is Joy. Joy is not mentally okay… He acts like a small baby. I helped me few days ago when he was being chased by some people he stole something from.. The next day, I told him to go back to his house and gave him some money.
While I was coming back from work at night. I saw him being beaten by some guys and I saved him again..โ I paused to read her reaction.
She just stared at me, listening.
โ…He’s been in my house ever since then..โ
โSister..โ Benita called.
โYes?โ
โShey you know you have a sweet heart.?โ
โI have a sweet heart?โ
She nodded.
โYou dey nice…Your heart dey too pure and soft. You be person wey dey too hard to find..You dey beautiful with a soft heart. You help people.โ She said.
Im a rare gem.
A soft hearted person
Im nice and good hearted.
A generous person.
Really?
โWhy did you say all that?โ I asked her.
โBecause you be.โ
Because I am?
I have a sweet heart.
โYou like him?โ Benita asked, suprising me.
โYes.โ I said.
She hugged me, suprising me more.
โBenita?โ I called calmly.
โSister..โ She answered and disengaged the hug.
She smiled and scrolled to Michael’s picture.
โI like this picture pass. I see am for Mom phone.โ She said.
Now, I understand the reason for her hug.
โYou like him?โ I asked.
She nodded.
โMy best friend also like him. Not just ‘like’ She love him. But I don’t want them together because she’s older than him and she have someone who is deeply inlove with her. I know if he comes back that Eva might try something silly and I don’t want that.โ I said.
โNa because of her he wan come?โ Benita asked.
โNo. Michael doesn’t even know She love him.. So you should know that she can’t be the reason why he’s coming. Benita.โ
โSister Valerie..โ
โI wish he’ll like you instead. There’s nothing wrong in that. It’s so better than him knowing about Eva’s feeling and accepting it. Emeka love Eva so much and don’t want him heartbroken. Not cos of my brother.โ
โWhy you no wan tell mom about Joy?โ She asked.
โShe won’t like him and I won’t bear it cos im inlove with him already. I think i am. He’s so sweet and funny.โ I said.
โMom go vex for me too if she know say I like brother Michael.โ She said.
โCome on. She knows already Benita.โ I laughed.
โGuess what?โ I said.
โI no fit guess.โ
I smiled and searched my bag.
I got out a phone pack.
โI got you this.โ I stretched it to her.
She gasped.
โPhone!!!!โ She screamed and jumped on me.
