Her gaze went to the wall click, she jumped out of the bed.
"Oh my God, I need to visit Daniel tonight".
She said getting her phone from her bag.
Is she serious right now?
"Will you please take me to see him?"
She pleaded with very honest eyes.
I forced a smile and nodded, I guess I was happy she wanted me to come with her. That's some relief.
*****VAL'S POV****
We got to the car and headed to his place. I was so sad, his missed calls were all over my phone. I can't imagine how bad he must be feeling right now.
I bought ice cream on our way and some chocolate too, he loves them.
All the way, Prince said nothing,he only stole glances at me.
I didn't bother to ask him knowing he might not be comfortable with me visiting Daniel but I won't let whatever he is thinking stop me from going there.
We got to his place, and I got down from the car.
"You can go now, please seeing you will make him more upset,I hope you understand".
He smiled back and nodded.
I thanked him and waved goodbye then ran towards the house.
Getting to the door, I impatiently thumbed the doorbell and prayed for him to be home,the door locked opened.I hugged him tightly.
"Dan, I am so so sorry about missing your calls not texting back, I had a lot on my mind, I can't explain how sorry I am right now".
I even went as far as pecking his cheek.
That was how much I adore Daniel. I got into the house and placed the things I bought on the table.
"What are you doing here?"
Daniel said coldly.
I turned and looked at him in surprise.
"I know you are upset Dan, I am sorry about it, I am really sorry".
He looked at me like he would cry, it made me sad.
"I never thought our friendship would one day come to this stage where we ignore each other's calls and never bother to check on them after missing work,wow! What has come over you Val, please tell me you aren't with that spoiled brat, tell me he is not the reason you didn't answer my calls or pay me a visit after work".
I could tell he was really hurt.
"Dan... I ...I am not with him, I promise I am not, and now I am here okay? You've done so much for me, how will I pay you back with snubs and dishonesty".
I felt so ashamed of myself for lying but I had to, if I tell him I was with Prince let alone doing something in the Judiciary, our friendship will be over.
He sighed and smiled at me.
"So what have you been busy with that made you not pick your calls".
He asked and walked to the couch.
"Well lots of work today in the office and also I had my phone misplaced".
"Really?"
He asked a bit of sarcasm in his tone but I waved it off.
I decided to change the topic.
"About your girlfriend,I will help you talk to her, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself,she is not wise ,she is going to miss out, Dan trust me,you are the nicest man I have met,I wonder why people settle for the bad ones,don't worry okay"I said to him with a warm smile.
"You don't still get it, don't you?"he said softly.
