𧑠VALERIE’S POV Continues π§‘
After work, I had to drive Eva home ‘cos her car broke down and is at a mechanic right now.
β…so is your brother coming home this Xmas?β She asked as I drove, my focus on the windscreen.
Her question caused me to glance at her and I threw a smirk grin.
She rolled her eyes and kept looking at me.
βAre you missing him?β I asked with a playful smile now.
She smiled.
The truth is that; Im a year older than Eva, but she’s still two years older than Michael. But I really don’t why she can’t get over him.
βYeah. I am.β She answered with the smile still on her lips as she faced the windscreen.
βHe’s coming but with his girlfriend oh.β I joked.
A frown appeared on her face but vanished just immediately.
βI don’t mind.β She said and giggled.
Okay, they ain’t dating but Eva have been secretly inlove with Michael and he isn’t even aware.
All those years he was home, Eva had kept the feelings to herself and had only shared them only to me.
She’s been hiding it for years now.
Though she’s dating a banker guy, Emeka but she’s still inlove with my brother even though he’s two years younger.
Though I saw no crime in that and I was telling her those years he was still home to let him know about her feelings but she had been refusing, feeling that he will turn her down.
Probably cos she’s more older or maybe cos he had a girlfriend then, Mercy.
Though they later broke up a week to his travel wish Eva know about it.
I still wonder why she can’t let her feelings out even now since she can’t stop them.
βWill you let him know about your feelings?β I asked her.
She was silence for awhile
βI don’t know.β She said coldly.
βAnd Emeka?β I asked.
I like that Emeka tho. He’s perfect for her but you know when this kind of feelings are involved and you can’t just stop them.
βWhat about Emeka?β I reapeated, realising she haven’t answered me.
βI don’t know.β She said.
I inhaled.
This girl’s crazy.
I dropped her off at the gate of their house.
She still lives with her parents and two younger silblings.
βBye babe.β She said, going for the door.
βGoodnight.β I replied and she walked down, shutting the door.
I could feel her mood kind of changed after we talked about Michael.
She really loves my brother.
Can I really help on this before it gets out of hand?
But Emeka! That guy is good for her.
After watching her walk into the gate, I drove off.
I got home and met Benits, at the dinning, looking into a book.
βWow, Benita.β I smiled.
She instantly looked up, grinned and ran to me.
βSister welcome.β She greeted smiling.
She wore a black leggins and pink top that stopped at her thighs.
It look sweet on her.
βWhat are you reading?β I asked.
βHistoryβ She said.
I smiled, nodded and turned towards the staircase.
βSister..β Benita called.
βYes.β I answered, still climbing up the staircase.
She didn’t answer immediately so I stopped and turned to face her.
She was walking up to me.
She stopped two steps away.
βWhat’s it Benita?β I asked.
She smiled her kind of funny smile.
βSister, when you go pack out to your new house?β She asked.
I looked at her with a wide smile. I wasn’t expecting that question.
βWell next sunday.β I said.
She then grinned, then followed by a cold face.
βI wan live with you. I wan live with you.β She said repeatedly.
I laughed.
βCome on, you will stay here with mom okay? I’ll be visiting to check on you okay?β I assured her with a smile.
She did a sad face.
βI wan dey see you everyday.β She said.
I smiled, took a step to her and hugged her.
βIt’s fine. Mom doesn’t bite. I would have let you come live with me but mom needs you more here, okay?β I said and she nodded.
Getting into my room, and taking a shower, I pulled into a pink nightie.
I layed on the bed as I took my phone and dialled Iyke’s line.
We’ve not communicated since after that text messsge.
Im missing him.
He didn’t pick up the first call, so I called again.
He picked up after long rings, relieving the worry I suddenly got.
βHello sugar.β His voice came in like a whisper.
βHi baby, your voice is kind of low.β I said, smiling.
I like it tho.
βOh,not anymore.β He said loudly and I laughed.
βHow was your day?β I asked.
βYou made it awesome sugar.β He reied causing my smile to widen.
βHow was yours hun?β He asked.
βI missed you.β I answered.
βOww! same here sugar.β He said.
I breathed.
βYou wanna go out with me tomorrow?β I asked.
I miss his company.
βOh sugar. I wish to but I might be so busy at work tomorrow.β He answered.
βNo problem baby. Just that Im gonna miss you.β I said.
βI’ll miss you more.β He said in a breaktaking whisper again.
After the call, I felt hungry. I inhaled and walked downstairs to the kitchen.
Benita was at the breakfast bar, eating.
I walked over.
She saw me and smiled.
βWhat are you eating?β I asked moving to the fridge.
βDrinking garri. I don miss am.β She said.
I smiled, shook my head and opened the fridge as I took out a cornflakes pack, and a tin of ‘peak milk’. I dropped them on the breakfast bar and went for a bottle of water, a plate and a spoon.
I sat opposite Benita as we ate.
βSister..β Benita called after gulping half of her glass of water.
βUh?β I answered with the cornflakes in my mouth.
She grinned, looking at her food and then at mine, then at hers, then at mine.
I wonder what she wanna say now.
βSister oh. This one no be lie, chai.β She said and giggled.
βWhat?β I asked, curious.
βMe and you dey chop the same thing kwa.β She said, causing me to wonder how.
βHow?β I asked, as I stretched my neck to check if it’s actually ‘garri she’s drinking or cornflakes.
It was garri, covered in groundnuts..
I stared at her.
βMy own na african cornflakes, your own na foreigh cornflakes. Shey you see?β She said, laughing.
I aughed and adjusted on my seat.
βFunny Benita.β I said with a smile.
βHow was school today?β I asked.
βI learn well well.β She said.
I smiled. She’s in Senior Secondary one.
Just then, We heard my mom’s voice.
βAnyone home? Benita!!β
Benita jumped down from the seat and rushed out.
Days passed and Iyke I would say, was perfect.
Though we didn’t go out that saturday, but we did go out the next day which was Sunday and we had the best moment together.
I was so happy, I haven’t caught him cheating.
It was just me and me alone.
He made me feel really good and Eva noticed and was curious so I had to tell her that βIyke has stopped cheating on me.β
She was happy but still don’t trust him.
Well I do, I love him and trust my boyfriend so much.
He really makes me happy. What else?
I came back that saturday, feeling really tired.
I worked so much and I was feeling really bad that ‘A woman had to loose her baby’ after delievering.
She had cried so much and even though it wasn’t a new scene to me, I felt really heartbroken.
We did our best.. Our very best.
I sighed and got down from my car.
βWelcome Valerie.β Sheddy greeted and I just nodded and headed inside.
Benita was sleeping in the green couch.
I can’t blame her. It’s ten o’clock..
I walked upstairs and into my room, dropping my bag on the bed and collapsing on the bed.
Tomorrow Im packing out to my own house.
It’s just a cute bungalow.. Not big.
I like it that way…
I inhaled and sat up to pull my heels off.
I rubbed my forehead after that and headed to the bathroom.
Just then, I heard my mom’s car horn at the gate.
She’s back.
After having my shower and pulling into a yellow pajamas, I pulled into my white flip-flop and headed downstairs.
Mom and Benita were already eating at the dinning..
Huh!
I smiled and joined them.
βSo where’s mine?β I asked, looking at the covered plates.
Mom eyed me and rolled her eyes.
Haha..I know she’s sad that im packing to my house tomorrow.
βMake I put for you Sister..β Benita said and stood up to do so.
βThanks joor.β I said and smirked at mom who was sipping a glass of juice.
She dropped it and chuckled.
βYou know Vale, I know why you are leaving here.β She said.
Umm… So like I thought.
I stared at her to finish up.
βSo you’do have so much privacy with that boyfriend of yours.β She said.
I laughed.
βMom, is that what you thinking? I just need to live on my own and know how it feels to live alone.β I said.
Im being sincere.
She shook her head negatively.
βI don’t really believe you on that.β She said.
I just smiled and waved that off as I ate the Hot rice and stew.
βYour father is coming home this Xmas.β She changed topic which I was more than glad.
βWith brother Michael?β Benita suddenly asked.
Mom studied her question before looking at me.
I shrug.
Like What’s wrong in what Benita just asked.
βYes he is. Do you want him to come?β Mom asked looking focusely at her.
Mom! She grinned, βYes. I never see am. He too fine.β Benita said and I looked at her.
βUhmm..β My mom laughed.
I followed.
I wonder what made my mom laugh anyways.
And me??
After the meal, Mom said she needs to sleep and Benita while clesning up the table said she want to watch ‘Zee world’ before going to read. Which Im sure the ‘reading’ part is lies. She’ll sleep here watching Movie.
I walked upstairs to my room few minutes after mom did and layed down, covering myself with the duvet.
I picked my call. I didn’t even go downstairs with it.
I was happily expecting Iyke’s miss call but I found none.
I breathed and dialled his line.
It rang and ended without him picking up.
I can’t remember the last time this happened.
Iyke has been picking up my call at the first ring.
I dialed his line again, Same thing.
I dialed again, then again, then It was picked.
βIyke why havn’t yo–!β My yelling cut cut short by a female voice.
βIyke is having is in the bathroom. Call him tomorrow please.β She said and ended the call just immediately.
My pulse ceased.
I can swear that voice was that of the girl that rushed to Iyke that day at the Restaurant.
I still can recall her voice!
I shook my head as tears already have gathered in my eyes.
I called him again and it was picked up in a second.
βWho ar–β I was cut short again.
βAre you dumb huh! Iyke is in the bathroom. I’ll let him know you called.β She ended up the call again.
I dropped my phone as the tears began pouring.
I can’t believe Iyke is doing this to me again.
After all the Love I have for him.
All the money I give to him.
My body that I give to him… Just to make sure he is mine alone!
I can’t bear this! A weird came into my head and I quickly wiped my tears, stood up, grabbed my car keys and rushed off.
Im going right there to deal with whoever that the bitch is.
I rushed downstairs to see my mom at the living-room, scanning around like she’s searching for something.
She saw me and rushed to me.
βOh my goodness Valerie, why are you in tears and holding your car key? What’s the matter? Where are you going?β.
Tears began falling again and I hugged her, crying more.
βHe cheated on me again mom. Iyke cheated on me.β I cried.
