LOVE AGAIN

**DAN’S POV**

It’s been three weeks already, I have been trying to reach Val but her phone is always busy. I went to visit her the other day.

She wasn’t home either. That made me worried, really worried, I hope she is recovering well and also safe.

I rested on my office chair after getting my work done, our fashion show is around the corner. We’ve been working tirelessly at the company lately.

I put down my medicated eyeglass and rubbed my tired eyes then put it back on.

I was the first to start work today.

That was unusual, it was always Val.

“Good morning Dan”.

Grace, one of our colleagues, greeted me, and I waved at her with a smile.

She gave me a stiff nod in return then another walked that, that would be former Val’s best Friend Kamsy, who will always ignore me because she is aware of my closeness with Val.

Her protruding tummy explains the sudden weight gain on her hips and face not that I am quick to notice the hip enlargement.

“Mrs Kamsy, good morning”.

I waved at her even though I knew she wouldn’t respond.

Then a few minutes later , Val entered, I was so happy that I got up and welcomed her.

“How is your arm? Are you feeling better now, why don’t you pick your calls?”I asked impatiently, not waiting for her to reply. I collected her hand bag and put it down on my desk.

“I am fine, my arm is almost healed Dan, look”.

She showed me her flat biceps.

“I am very strong, how is our wife doing?”she added.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

I pretended not to hear that.

My girl and I had a little misunderstanding, she all blamed it on Val. I dare not mention this to Val, well few of her accusations are true for example , Val is my ideal woman but I promise our relationship is totally at just friends level and it wasn’t Val’s fault that she’s my ideal type , also she had no idea of this.

As for my girl , the fact that she always drags Val into our arguments pisses me off, for now a new break so I asked her to leave my house.

Though I am thinking about visiting her next weekend.

“What are you spacing out for?” Val cuts into my thoughts.

I looked up and half grinned at her.

“You don’t know how bored I was since these people don’t like me at all, you’re the only one who jokes with me, I am glad you’re back, the past week you were off work, I almost cried out of boredom”.

“Awww, I am back now , give me a hug”.

Val said in her usual teasing manner, I gladly accepted and hugged her.

“So what did you get for me, you cooked?”I peeped into her lunch bag.

“Dan, I got drugs in there!”I literally hate anything drugs, the sight, the smell, I quickly shifted my face from the bag, before I began to have nauseous reactions.

“Why do you carry drugs to work?”I replied with a grimace, reacting to the drug.

She took the bag from me with a mother kind of glare.

“Silly you, I have not completed my dosage, go now let me say my morning work prayer”.

She pushed me playfully out of her corner, I walked back to mine.

“Emmm Dan, I submitted some designs to you for editing, are you done?” Jennifer, one of our colleagues, also known as the former Boss’s handbag , yes the seductive queen, she called my attention.

“Am I the editor?”

“She isn’t here yet, can’t you help out?”

She literally does nothing but look for who to do her work.

“Jennifer I don’t have that time, I have a lot of work to do with my own project”.

As I was responding to her, I was trying one of my designs on a mannequin, the pin needle cut through my skin.

It was bleeding profusely but it doesn’t hurt that much, I looked towards Val , she’s done with prayers , putting on her system.

I wanted to be dramatic and disturb Val a bit, I missed her so much. I suddenly screamed out.

“Ouch!!!, oh my God”.

Others casted a quick glance towards me but went on with their work like they always did. I went to Val, groaning as if I just got stung by a scorpion.

“Oh my God what happened!”

She quickly tore a piece from her work material, and tied on it.

“Is it painful?”

“Yes”I groaned, intentionally pressing the tiny pin bleeding spot so it could bleed more.

“What really happened?”She asked curiously, with her eyes filled with concern, she was blowing air to it as if it’s hot.

“Why happened?”she asked again.

I faked being in a lot of pain that I couldn’t answer.

“Does it hurt so much? I think I have a balm”she said in her native language and turned to her bag, she got the balm.

“No no I don’t want balm”.

“Keep quiet”.

She loosened the fold , the bleeding reduced, she heaped a large amount of balm on it, then I started crying for real , the thing is painful.

“Why did you put it there!”I snapped as the pepperish sensation increased.

“Sorry, it will help it heal, please ensure it” She kept blowing air on her finger , holding it with her hands.

**PRINCE’S POV**

I walked into the company. I was greeted by the employees but all my attention went to Val and her work boyfriend Dan, they greeted me and continued with their drama.

What is it that she is doing to him? Why didn’t she look at me twice like I mean I kissed her the other day.

I went home thinking about it all day. I thought she would have it in mind too, but I was wrong.

That bitch didn’t see my kiss as something to think about or else she would be so tense to see me walk in but instead she was so focused on another man.

It shouldn’t have gotten in my system this bad. Why am I so consumed by her?
