You even said you are my driver but that didn't change her mind. Ian laughed. You shouldn't be laughing with this man, he want to take your job. If Whitney didn't save me, I would had been a dead man and this boss of mine, doesn't want to help me

Why should I help you when you are taking my friend away from me? You Know that is not true, no one can replace you in my heart. Whitney drag Gregory chin.

Is there still food? Craig asked. Sure, you can have it. Whitney hand him the food. you really are a princess

Call me Princess again? Don't worry, your...

Craig stop it. He didn't say a word, as he eat, Whitney mouth fall open, when she saw the message from Cathy, she had not been able to go through the message before.

Craig thank you.

Gregory and Craig look at each other, if Gregory and Craig don't understand each other, they would had been issues between them, the way Whitney praise him. For what? Cathy told me how you save her.

Do she tell you everything? Yes, she do. Craig nodded and continue eating. Greg, I want to go home. Alright, Ian take the first turn so we drop her before heading home.

No, the second turn. That is not the way to your apartment.

And who said I am going to my apartment? What? Don't tell me, you want to go to the club? Who goes to the club during the day?

Then where are you going?

Silly, I want to go to Cathy, I haven't see her for two days now. Craig spit out his food. Here water. He gulped the water in a blink. Thanks, boss, I should go back to the condominium, I am really tired. Gregory smile, he knows that Craig is trying to get away from Cathy.

No, we go after dropping her, Ian you heard her, Craig was sweating even with the air-com, you could see bead and bead of sweat on his forehead.

Pack over there, I will just tell chairman to protect your car. They walked behind Whitney, she wants to open the door.

Wait, are you not going to tell her that she had some guest? Craig try to stop her. I am no guest of her and for the record, she is not in. Craig breath out. Come on in, let me get you juice. She go in and bring juice for them. You can have it.

Thanks a million. He drink the juice, Craig never get tired of eating, in no time he is fast asleep on the couch. Your cousin is sleeping, don't you want to sleep?

He had not really have a good night rest, since he arrives Lagos

Even if I want to where will I sleep? Come with me to my room. Wouldn't Cathy get mad? No; it's my room, I do share it with George sometimes when he is around but most times it's just me, Cathy and her mom share the other, it's small place but it's okay. His heart was overwhelmed, she has the key to Cathy's apartment and she also have a room here, he stand when the get to the room. Why are you stand? She pushed Gregory on the bed. What are you doing?

You are standing like a stranger, let me take off your shoe. She pulled it, her hand blush his leg, he close his eyes. Go on and sleep. The light go off. No oh! How will I sleep, when the lights is gone?

You can't sleep without light? Come here. He tap a space close to himself, she crawl and lie close to him, she place her head on his chest, he pushed his hand between her and the bed, his hand is now wrapped around her, she is feeling awkward, Gregory doesn't want that. You should tell me what happen? Why did you not come to the school party?

I lost my dad that morning so we have to move out. So sorry about that. He knows she lost her dad and had even got to look for her but they move out. It's okay, is being years.

How did you meet Cathy?

Oh, after I left school, I gain admission into Lagos University, things was more difficult for I and my mom, one day I was send out of hostel because I couldn't pay for it, I was sitting crying on my own then her brother George saw me crying with my luggage at the lobby, he had come to visit his sister, he asked the reason for my tears, I told him that I have nowhere to go, the only word he said was follow me, at first I was scared of going with him, he turned and look at me, then he said are you not coming, I have no choice than to follow him, he took me to his sister Cathy, we are both in same department but I could count the number of times, we both had a conversation.

Why is that? I thought she is a brat, when I get there with him, he told Cathy that I will be living with her, Grace is already her roommate but Cathy didn't frown, she just hugged me immediately, she gave me, the food she was eating, I wasn't expecting it, that is how I started living with her, whenever George comes around, he always get wears for me as he did his sister, they are kind people even though they don't have money, George is my prince, my knight...

So, I am no longer your knight? When did I say so? Their face was close, the only thing on Gregory's head is to kiss her, she fall her face in shyness.

Ahem! She clear her throat. Yes, let me tell you about my love life.

I don't want to hear it. He already knows about it, he just don't want her to remember it. Why don't you want to hear? You told me about your love life.

Is because you saw me with her, the one person I could have asked you about is George but you have tell me about him

Why? Is because I have seen him with you. Where?

He point at the picture on the wall, Whitney wanted to go take it off but he stop her. I thought you said it's embarrassing to sit on my laps but you are on his. Whitney close her eyes in shame. Are you shy?

No, I am not. She try to stand up but Gregory held her arms. Why did you go to the law firm? To sued you.

What for? For looking at me like that. Gregory stand up, his eyes bulge out, he is scared that Whitney has find out he had love her, he is still in dilemma, Cathy walked in and see Craig sleeping on her sofa, like he owes it, due to heat, he had take off his shirt and jacket, he is not comfortable but he needs to sleep.

Huh! Cathy scream seeing Craig on her sofa, he jumped from the sofa, Whitney and Gregory run into the living room.

Cathy, why are you yelling? How did you get into my apartment?

What kind of stupid question is that? Don't I have keys? Whitney lash out on her.

I am not talking about you, him? She point to Craig, he wear his shirt in a hurry, he was heading outside. You are better not go out with that, if you don't want those girls outside to be over you.

He stop, remembering what happened to him the other day, she go inside, Gregory smile, Whitney wink at him. Craig, you should take your bath. No, I can't bath here. Hey we are not going to eat you, do you think it's not decent enough for your status? Craig gasped for air. Greg, you should tell him, he need that. He need to bath, the sweat in his body is irritating. Craig, you should bath. He nodded. Come with me. Craig just walked behind her, she looks at Gregory and smile the look on her face show something fishy

Your cousin is bathing. What are you up to?

Nothing!

Hope you are not planning to set my cousin up? No, have I ever done anything bad? He shakes his head. let's go to the market, remember I promise to make something for you. Alright, let me wait for my cousin, I know he will not go but...

Let him be, let's go. Are you not going to tell Cathy? No, I want to spend time with you, telling her, she will want to come. Alright, let's go.

Even though the bathroom is nothing compared to Craig's bathroom, no running water on it, he had to take water from a bucket but he didn't care, he needed the bath, after taking his time, he wrapped the towel given to him on his waist, on a norm, he will reject someone else towel to come in contact with his skin or even want to be see in a place like this but he didn't even know he is doing all this and they don't irritate him, his eyes caught a picture of Cathy in a bikini, he looks at it and smile, Cathy had taken off her top before entering the room only to see Craig on her towel

Huh! She screamed and close her eyes. You should close yourself instead of your eyes. She grabbed her top and wear in a hurry.

You shouldn't be shy because I have seen it all. He point to the picture on the wall before she could say anything.

Idiot, that is just picture, no one had seen it. Did you take it yourself? I am not a photographer.

You just said no one have seen it? Stop asking stupid question and get off my towel.

Is the towel for you?

No, it's for my grandpa, get off my towel before I start dreaming of you.

Were you dreaming of me? He comes close to her, she shift back he didn't stop, her back meet the wall. Stop coming closer to me.

You are the one keep attracting me to you She try to move but Craig hand is at both side of the wall imprisoning her at the middle. Please, let me kissed you, I don't know if I will meet you again. He caress her lips, she closed her eyes, just when he want to lock his lips with her, his phone ring.

Shit! He curse under his breath, he pulled from Cathy, she used the opportunity to run out, Craig wear his clothes, he meet Cathy at the living room.
