Valerie.

Bright light shine in my eyes as I opened them slightly. This isn't my room. That was the first thing I noticed when I woke up fully. Where am I?

What the fuck? My whole head was on fire. I was having a bad hangover. That was when the memories of yesterday night came flooding back. But I couldn't quite remember things I said or did, just flashing images.

I stood up from the bed. I was putting on a big male shirt..how did it get on my body. I saw Malik entering into the room, he looked liked he just had his bath with running down his body, down his V into his draped towel on his waist.

Did he see me naked? Ohmigawd..

"Ohh you're up. How was your night?" I didn't know what to reply. How would I face him again knowing he's prolly seen me naked.

"How did I get here? Why am I here? Where are my clothes? Who changed me and why? Did you see me naked?"

"Heiii...chill would ya? I've forgotten all what you asked me sef. Anyways I brought you here cos it was too late to take you home. You puked and I had to change you. Your clothes is dry and ready, I drycleaned it for you. I'm sorry I ....I swear I closed my eyes. "

Did he seriously think I'm a fool? I was too tired to think straight or say anything.

"Please take me home" he wanted to say something but kept it in. Better, that way. He went out and came back with my clothes. They looked all neat and presentable. I walked into the bathroom and wore it.  After I was done, I left the house with him trailing behind. He got into the car and drove off.

Once he got to my house, he sighed and looked at me. I gave a tight-lipped smile.

"I'm sorry again. I promise you, I didn't take advantage of the situation. Please believe me" he told me and I tried to believe.

"Thank you" I told him before getting out of the car. I walked up the stairs into my flat. I saw Nessa seated on the sofa. I won't deny I've missed her face around here. She was munching on some kind of chips. She looked up to see who came in and a sad smile morphed her face. I wanted badly to reciprocate it but I couldn't find it in me to do so.

"At least smile back or rather still, say a hello. I won't lie, I've fucking missed you" she said standing up from the sofa. I didn't know what to reply her so I kept quiet. She sighed.

"There's food in the kitchen, that's if you're hungry." I nodded and left the living room. I went into the kitchen because I was super hungry.

I dished out the hot pasta for myself. I took it to my room and devoured the whole food. After I was done, I went in to take my bath and freshen up.

It was late evening when I woke up from my long nap. I decided to watch a movie so I went into the sitting room. She was still there laughing at some movie she was watching. I sat down on a sofa directly opposite hers.

"Mom called" Ehen? What should I naw do?. I thought in my head.

"She said dad is seriously ill and he wants to see us. I'm scared though because her voice was really low and sad when she called." Dad? He was ill? I made a mental note to call him later on before I go to bed. But I don't still get why this girl is gisting me.

"Are you coming with?" Was the next thing I heard several minutes later when I thought the conversation was over.

"I know my way if I want to go see him. I don't need to go along with you" I said rudely.
