Chapter 48: Chapter 48

You and Craig, are you two demons? Is his rank higher than yours? I am just wondering, maybe he is the devil himself and you are the highest demon prince

What are you saying?

Nevermind, handsome demons

She said and walk away, Gregory look all confused, he go to the study, Craig is working on a file, he look at himself in the glass.

Boss, as your handsomeness gotten the better part of you that you keep admiring yourself? Or do you want to turn gay?

Do I have horn?

Are you mad? Do you want to have horn? And who told you, you have horn?

Not just me, the two of us.

Never, don't involve me, If you want, you are free to but me, I love my handsomeness

What about handsome demon?

Greg, can you stop, I don't want to have horn and I am not a demon and who thy hell said that bullshit?

It's Whitney.

You should go tell her, I am not a demon and I can never have horn, if she wants horn for you fine, not me, I am not a demon.

He grab his laptop and left Gregory behind, he hate been called a demon, in as much as he is referred to it, almost everytime, demon, monster, dragon, those are his permanent names, even his biological father call him that.

Cathy, are you up? Whitney asked her running her hand on her hair

Yes, I am sorry, I scared you.

It's okay, someone is here to see you.

Who?

Tony!

No, I don't want to go back.

Relax, he will not

Tony open the door.

I will excuse you two. Whitney walk out, Cathy adjust herself.

I am...

It's okay, I realized you don't like it there.

Not that, is just that sometimes, I get suffocated when I am the only one there, I missed Whitney, I want to be with her, she is the only friend I have and I don't want the maid, I could do things on my own and the cabman, he is scary, I feel like a prisoner

It's okay, if you want to stay for the weekend then you should.

Really? She jumped up, Tony nodded, she hugged him. Thank you very much.

So does it mean you have forgiven me? Tony asked her.

If you carry me, I will think about it. Tony smile, he wants to carry her on the shoulder. No, don't carry me like that, carry me in a bridal way.

Do you want to be my bride? Cathy smirk and hide her face as Tony carry her to the dinning.

Aunty nice you should sit beside me. Eve push chair for her, Cathy sitting opposite Craig, Whitney sit beside her as well, Craig and Gregory are sitting opposite them.

Alright, I am honored.

Brian enter the dinning, seeing Cathy, he was shock.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I am just surprised you are here

So you don't want me here?

No, just surprised, how are you and it's been awhile.

I'm Okay, I need to come see how my subject are behaving.

So did you find any fault in anyone? Brian asked her.

Of cause, you, why are you just coming home? Is this the right time to return? I left for just few weeks and you are going astray.

She said it like a mother scolding her child for coming home late, Brian find himself wanting to explain

I have an...

Hey don't explain you should sit and eat. Brian smile and sit.

With the way you talk, you can make a man fall hopelessly in love with you.

Brian said, Tony give him a killer look, Cathy hit him slightly.

Silly, sit and eat.

Thanks!

the meal continued, Craig will steal a glance from Cathy from time to time, though she is not his, her present give him joy.

Aunty nice, you should eat, you have been talking without eat.

Sorry ma! They laughed, Whitney is looking at craig and Gregory's head as they eat.

Aunty beauty, why are you looking at brother and uncle like that?

I am looking for horns. Gregory spit out his food.

Sorry!

Whitney, why will you be looking for horn on their head? Do they look like demons? I am sure demons have long fangs and...

Cathy is saying things, craig, just pick himself, he doesn't want to be associated with demons he left to the living room.

I think, I need to go to bed. Gregory said

No brother, I want to watch my sit-com with you. Okay, I will be at the living

Everyone of them return to the living room, Brian also return after freshen up, the sit-com is almost finished.

I want us to play game.

Baby, I am bored with that game, just go to bed.

No, it's not that type, it's passing the pillow.

Cathy and Whitney became curious.

What is it like? Whitney asked.

I play music while passing the pillow, anyone who the pillow is with when the music stop will sing with the karaoke.

We are game. Cathy said, Whitney smile.

Baby, I go to bed. Brian said.

Come on uncle, don't be a spoilsport Brian sit, Gregory want to stand but Eve eyes will kill him, so he just sit.

I will go to bed and...

Uncle Tony, you are better stay because I am still mad at you. Eve said, Craig is not interested, he want to go.

Craig, you will not die if you have little fun in your life? Gregory asked him

He sit, all of them are involved in the game, Cathy is the one playing the music, she stop it, when it get to Tony

Beans pie!

Go on and sing stop calling me.

Tony sing affire love by Ed Sheeran, everyone clapped, he is not a bad singer but probably not too good at it.

Is my voice sweet? Tony asked Cathy. No, it's not. he looks at her. Fine, I will give you four over ten.

That is low?

Don't worry, it's fine, you don't have to have nice voice, I love you, like that. He smiled, Craig countenance change, Whitney notice it.

Cathy play the song, they pass the pillow, Whitney stop it when it's in Craig hand.

You, why did you press... Her words didn't finish, only to see Craig with the pillow, she burst into laughter closing her mouth with her hand

Why are you laughing? Whitney asked her, she press her head to Whitney's ear.

I don't think he can sing. The two laughed, Brian is looking at them.

I don't want to sing. Craig said.

It's okay, I know you can't sing. Cathy said it loud, enough for all to hear, Gregory look at Craig, his face darken.

Come on, let's continue. Cathy want to play.

I will sing. Craig said, Cathy look at him. Yes, go on, I said I will sing.

Okay, which song will I play

He get the mic.

I don't need the karaoke machine. They switch it off, he sing beautiful scars by Maximilian

Oh, but what is lost ain't gone

No, you can't just let go

'Cause it's a part of you that will make you strong

Embrace your flaws

He move his body slightly, he put emotions into it, Cathy's mouth fall open, she didn't expect his voice to be nice

I'm not gonna fight back what I've become

Yeah, I've got bruises where I came from

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

I've been going way too hard on myself He point to himself and continue

Guess that it's the reason that I'm feeling like hell

But I wouldn't change if I could restart

I ain't gonna hide these beautiful scars

When he end the song, Brian stare at him, Tony is mad he too didn't know he can sing, he is thinking he will make a fool of himself. Gregory is not surprised, after all Craig is his best cousin, he remembers they could sneak out just to go to musical class.

Whoa! Whitney applaud him. God, you are good, cathy, you misjudge him. She fall her face in embarrassment. Rate him.

What? Cathy almost yelled.

Go on and rate him. Whitney said again, she looks at Tony then Craig, her mouth form a zero

Come on aunty nice play the music so they pass the pillow

Sure! She play, she didn't want to rate him because she might say something that will offend Tony and she doesn't want to lie because she might give him a ten on ten

Eve! Is you. The two screamed, the play Let It Go by Idina Menzel, she sing with joy, Cathy and Whitney join her

The mansion is like the first day, the girls came, everywhere is noising.

Aunty nice, we should sing it again.

Eve, let others sing. Gregory said.

Just say you want to sing.

Yes, I want to. without been told, everyone will know Gregory can sing even his normal voice for talking is sweet.

Okay, so who do you want to dedicate the song to? Cathy asked him, Whitney hit her head.

You are very troublesome.

Leave me alone, go on and tell me. Gregory look at her and said.

To you. She facepalm herself because she know Gregory is teasing her.

Fine, I give up, go on and sing.

He sing perfect by Ed Sheeran, Cathy could no longer hold herself, he get the mic from Gregory and throw to Whitney.

Gregory let's dance! She place her hand on his.

Cathy!

Whitney, leave me alone, Greg, will not get mad at me and go dance with Tony, I am sure Brian will not get mad as well

She doesn't know that Whitney hate Tony and she and Brian are no longer dating, she doesn't want to tell her that she hate Tony, she just walk to him, they start dancing.

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms

Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song

When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful

I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight

Uncle, let me have this dance? Eve bow before Craig.

They both dance, when they switch partner, Tony was hoping to hold Cathy but Cathy went to Craig and Whitney is with Gregory, Eve went to Tony

Gregory dance with Whitney, Cathy is looking at Craig, he closed the gap between them

put your hand on my shoulder. Craig tells her, she did. Look at me. She shallow hard and look at him, when their eyes meet, Cathy felt strange, he place his hand on her waist, Cathy felt strange again, so do Craig.

The dance continued when the music is going on

I have faith in what I see

Now I know I have met an angel in person...

The music stop, Cathy withdrew from Craig very fast, tony isn't happy with the turn of things but he is suppressing it.

Craig watch his cousin Gregory looking at Whitney, his face was falling towards her, Craig pushed him slightly.

Boss, the song is over.

Ahem! Gregory clear his throat and let go of Whitney.

Beans pie, let's go to bed.

But Brian have not...

Come on, you don't need that stress.

Alright, Whitney let's go.

No, you are sleeping in my room. Tony held her hand, she wave at Whitney and left with Tony, Brian also go to his room.

Whitney sighed and left as well.

Uncle is such a kill joy, I just hope he slump and die.

Baby!

Sorry! She grimace and run upstairs.

I will spank her hard.

Just let her be, she is just a baby. Craig said and left for his room, Gregory get his phone only to see Whitney drop message for him
