Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Oh no! I don't even know her apartment, this place is without arrangements. He raise his head then he knows he is at the right place because they were right at the front of the male hairstylist, he walked into it, there where three boys in it, he stand tower in front of the door, they were men not gay but his handsomeness had caught their attention, he was wearing a gold wristwatch, he smell all rich.

Do you want to have a clean cut sir? One of the boys asked, He shakes his head, he wants to sound normal because he needed to get an information from them. Then what do you...

Ahem! I am assuredly, looking for a girl, she is chocolate, she is tall, I saw her standing here yesterday morning with two of her friends

No one like that live here.

I am sure, her name is Whitney and I think her friend name is Cathy. The second boy look at him. Why are you looking for them? Do you want to hurt her? In the conversation two where talking, the third one just keep quiet.

No, I don't have any intention of doing that. So you are looking for Cathy? The second boy asked but he didn't wait for his response. Wait! You should stay away from her because she is mine.

You mad man! The first one hit his head. Oga George will kill you if your shadow fall on his sister.

Leave him, will he marry his sister?

No but he will not give his sister to ghetto boy like you, did you see that girl skin, Oga George doesn't joke with her. Gregory Clear his throat!

Ahem! I am assuredly looking for Whitney?

I don't know that girl. The second boy said but the first hit him again. What? You are crazy don't you know the shy decent girl?

Grace?

Fool, is Grace decent or chocolate? Oga George princess, that girl that used to come here with him, that is shy and barely talk, she is as cute as Oga George's sister, that we all think they are twin.

Oh! That girl.

Gregory mind is far away, how can his princess be under the protection of a man and also around a loose girl.

Hey Mr, you should be very careful around that girl because Oga George can kill for her, if you don't want to be in Oga George blacklist, you should never hurt her hair.

I have no intend of that, I just want to meet her.

Oh! She doesn't live here, but Cathy live...

I will take you there.

The third boy said out of nowhere, the other two know that this boy is no good but what can they do.

Fine, thanks a million. He bow and walked away with the boy, they move a bit from where people could notice them, the boy brought out a penknife. Take it off.

Take what off? He asked in surprised. You should know, take it off.

Fine, you want it, I will give you but first take me to her.

You don't command me, I said give it to me. The wristwatch was nothing to Gregory but he hated the way the boy was ordering him

It makes him mad, he narrow his eyes, the boy was aggressive, Cathy was coming she saw the act, she fastening her step before she could get there he noticed that the penknife was already at Gregory's hand immediately he noticed Cathy is walking towards him, he throw the knife away acting all scared, Cathy smirked.

Hey, you should leave Oga George's Princess friend.

I am not doing anything to him, I just want to show him your place.

But it doesn't seem so, do people now show direction with a knife?

The boy frown he knows he can't be in Oga George blacklist, even the ghetto king is scared of him.

Anyways thanks, you can go now. The boy didn't look back, he run, Cathy turned and look at Gregory.

You should not wear that to this place. She point at the wristwatch, she knows that is what attracted the boy to him, he wants to Change the topic.

Thanks for saving me.

Did I really save you? She said looking at him, Gregory gulped his saliva, he didn't know that Cathy had noticed, still in his thoughts. Why are you here?

Ahem! I came to see Whitney.

She doesn't live here, I am on my way to see her, you can come, that is if it is...

It is fine by me. Oh! I forget something, let me just get it fast so we leave. He goes back to their apartment. Come on in, I will not take long. Leaving him at the living room, he noticed a picture hang on the wall, it's Whitney and a strange boy, he is holding her right on the waist, he was no longer comfortable in there, he was about going out when Cathy comes out. Let's go. They walked towards the car, her eyes bulge out that was Ferrari LaFerrai. Get in.

Did you drive that here? He nodded. You are fortunate that they didn't do something terrible to your car, this place is not the kind of place for fancy things. He just nodded, he turned the ignition, he was driving very slow the way he was driving made her look at him and smile, all his life he had never drive fast no matter how hard he try, Craig is worry sick, how can he go without security or him?

Come on pick your call; Gregory finally picked, hello!

Yes, why are you calling?

Can you tell me where are you?

Don't worry I am driving.

Where are you going?

I am on my way to Whitney, Cathy is taking me there. Hearing Cathy, his heart race fast, all of a sudden his voice sounds so cool and with emotions.

Are you bringing her?

Do you want to eat the entire apple? He knows that Gregory is referring to Cathy as an apple, she smiled. Come on, be serious. Yes, I am buying two apples, at least one for you and one for me. Fine, I am waiting and please be careful.

I will only if you get off the phone. Craig smile and end the call, Cathy face was all glooming looking at him, in a second his heart had race had she understands what he said, he wants to start explaining when Cathy speak up. Why did you drive so slow? Sorry, I...

It's okay, just pulled over there, we can just have a few walk.

Where is your Cousin?

He is on a business meeting.

And you are here? Craig is not ready for her questions, he had told her early that Gregory had to go to their branch here in Lagos, he is not good at lying but he had told so many lies for his cousin only for just half a day and now he is tense not because of Jane but how to keep a conversation with Cathy when she comes.

Where should I be? She want to say something but Craig cold face had visited her.

Nevermind, I will just call him.

Better! She could yelled at Gregory but not this man in front of her, Gregory pulled over, Cathy knock on the door

Wait, are you not going to call her that she have visitor?

I am not her guest, you should call her not me.

Whitney had fallen asleep on the couch the previous night

Who is it?

Open the door Whitney.

Cathy, are you normal, don't you have your keys? Cathy has the key to the house but since she is with Gregory, she just wants her to open herself.

Whitney, come get the door for me.

If you don't have your keys then forget it. She gave up and open the door, it's a small apartment for just she and her mom but her mom and Cathy's are out of town to farm, that is how they survive. You, why were you knocking? Her eyes bulge out when she saw Gregory pushed his face in like a little boy, Whitney stand in trance.

Come on in. Gregory was just standing here like a child in a strange land, Whitney wasn't ready to say a word to him, Cathy went in and get a drink, she looks at Whitney who is not ready to say a word to Gregory.

Are you not going to welcome your guest? He had gone throw a great deal just to get here, he was almost stab by that useless boy.

Whitney was right in front of him, hearing Cathy's words, she turned Gregory around like a mother checking for where her child been hurt, Gregory just free his body so she can turn him, Cathy smile.

Where does it hurt? You should tell me. Gregory lower his head, place his mouth closed to her ears.

Nowhere. his voice has some kind of alluring sounds that send shivering into her, she withdrew from him, another awkward moment set him. You should sit. Cathy said, he wants to sit.

No! Don't sit there, sit over here. Gregory hands as already meet the couch and it's wet.
