LOVE AGAIN

“Whichever one you want to call her”.

I winked at Val.

“Baby look you have to tell me .. see I have…”

“Wait, now I am baby? And no more cockroach? “I asked surprised.

“You are my babyboo”.

“I am now your babyboo?”

“Yes, who else?”

Val gave me a high five dying with laughter.

“Oh … alright, I thought it’s over.”.

“God forbid!!”

“Alright sweet, the extension is under our bed”.

She screamed out loudly with joy.

“Baby found it, they’re beautiful, you got the perfect hairs I needed”.

“Yeah, now you are happy, I hope you see what you would have missed before, doo oo you still want to break up?”

She laughed.

“You know what baby, I won’t say anything come back first, I will give you a threat, tonight I will ride you to the moon and back, love you”

She kissed the phone and hung up, I put down my phone and sighed.

“Okay that’s so sweet, I am going to cry”.

Val snapped, fanning her face.

“Please don’t”.

We laughed but I can sense she was really getting emotional, she was the one that taught me to be the best friend of my girlfriend, her relationship with Luke was everything anyone could wish to have mine was nothing compared to that.

“Are you thinking about him?”

I asked after she went silent.

“I can’t stop he is still a part of my memories you know, bad ones and good ones too, it’s hard to not think about him”

She sobbed.

I really wish I can hug her, maybe not just the regular hugs we always have as friends, the one that can last a little longer then I will whisper I will always be there, she don’t need to think of Luke anymore and maybe I can lift her chin and seal her lips with mine maybe find out she can get wet for me then taste her.

What the heck am I thinking!

“I wish I had never introduced him to my friend”.

She broke into my troubled mind. I swallowed uncomfortably and cried my throat before replying.

“It’s okay, don’t blame yourself, real men can’t be stolen, Luke is a jerk. You are a strong woman, and I have a feeling you will appreciate this breakup more”.

She suddenly stopped and laughed, fanning her face.

“Wow, my emotional part is so embarrassing, I will try to stay strong”.

“For me?”I smiled at her.

“For you Dan”

We smiled at each other

I drove her home and waved at her then cursed about my recent fantasies about her. The last thing I will do is hurt her feelings.

***VAL’s POV**

Dan is really blessed, hearing the conversation between Dan and his girlfriend really brought back memories that hurt so much.

I opened my door and almost fell out of shock. I was frozen at the same time, speechless.

What?

How?

I got many questions running in my head but the most important one is how can someone lo

“You left your spare on your desk”.

He stood up and showed me the bunch of keys.

“Don’t you think that’s very careless, it could be anyone”.

He said and stood up towering in front of me.

I literally had to pulled me neck to look up at the giant annoying boss of mine.

I flashed my teeth awkwardly and took the keys from him.

“Thanks”I muttered with a frown, was about to leave the sitting room.

“Valerie”.

I froze and closed my eyes , cursing within me, I didn’t want to talk about anything, even though I defended myself. I feel bad for slapping him back then, I shouldn’t have raised my hand on a man.

I turned slowly and gathered the courage to look at him.

He looked uncomfortable and forced his eyes to the other direction avoiding my eye contact, he slid his hands into his pocket, I could tell how nervous he was.

“I am sorry for being hard on you at the company, the kiss was a mistake, I … shouldn’t have taken it like I own you, and I deserved the slap”.

I said nothing , the silent treatment must have driven him crazy that instant.

“Are you deaf?”he snapped annoyed.

“You shouldn’t be rude sir, I was just surprised”I snapped back at him.

“Sorry, I did it again”he muttered. I didn’t hear him but I could tell from his lips.

I think I should also be nicer, he looks like he is struggling with his personality.

“You really need to be comfortable”I replied, “Please have your seat, I will be back”I offered as softly as I could.

“I only came to give you these keys , have been waiting here for almost an hour, you must be really busy with Dan in his car”.

He said that with a cold tone that scared me a bit.

“Oh maybe that must be time we stopped by the road side”.

“Doing what?”

He asked hoarsely like a stunged cave man, I panicked, and he could tell.

“Nevermind, sorry for asking such a stupid question, I don’t care what you were doing in the car with him”he said quietly and took his suit, flipped it to hang on his shoulder with one hand and the other tucked in his pocket and was about to leave.

“I should give you something, this is your first visit to my home boss”.

He stopped with the suit hanging on one shoulder, his side profile was like something straight out a magazine cover event without lighting and edits.

“It’s Prince outside the office, and like I said. Nevermind”.

“Noo noooo, you are my visitor, and so you have to give in, that’s how we do it here in Nigeria, and also your apology is accepted”.

He looked surprised then smirked and slowly went back to the couch.
