Sit, let me have a quick shower. Cathy didn't speak a word, she is there, he returns with causal wears, he is handsome in any thing

She fall her face to avoid being notice by Craig that she is drooling on him

Alright! Craig is working on a file, he is having a presentation, so he need to get a good proposal while Cathy type the messages

As she type, she frown, Craig look at her.

Are you fine?

Yes, I am, sorry if I distract you. She continues, she bite her lips slightly.

Hey you, are you fine? Craig asked again

Yes, I am but can I rest a little? Sure, go on and lie on the bed?

She lie, she press her face to the pillow, she is in pain, Craig look at her all confused.

Cathy, are you alright?

I am fine. She managed to say. No, you not, what is wrong with you?

The pain is not what she can bear again, she hit her legs on the bed, pressing her face more to the pillow while she held her tummy

Ouch! Whitney it hurt! She screamed, Craig eyes bulge out.

Cathy!

Whitney, I can't take it anymore, ouch! It's very painful.

Whitney run into the room where Gregory is sleeping, she hit him.

Greg, wake up, let me have your phone., This stupid alarm didn't ring since morning

Why?

How can I be stupid, I just forget totally? I need to call Craig.

Why?

Shut up! Don't asked me. Gregory call Craig.

Why is he calling me now? Greg, please not now, I will talk to you later.

Wait, don't hang on, it's Whitney, please go to Cathy, she should be in pain

She is here and she is in pain.

Shit! Stupid me, please go give the phone to ma Paula

I don't have that time, what is wrong with her?

Jeez! You might not be able to do it, just go give it to her.

Tell me, what to do?

Fine, just get a glass of water, not too hot and add salt not too much as well, give it to her to drink and then get a skin bottle you might not...

We have it.

Good, pour hot water on it, then give it to her.

Okay!

Whitney!

Let me be you. She yelled at Gregory, he kept quiet, Craig hurry to the kitchen, he get the skin bottle pour water on it.

He is trying to make the water solution, he just can't get it right, he did the first one too hot and too much salt, the second too cold and too much salt, the third a bit okay but too much salt.

What thy hell is this? Why can't I get it right?

I don't freaking know, I just know I need a water solution, not too hot and salt not too much but I just can't get it.

Who wants it?

Cathy, she is in pain and Whitney asked I gave her this.

He lie, he is the stubborn one that say he can do it, Whitney wanted to tell Paula but he insists on it now he is stock in nowhere.

Here, give her this.

Is it okay?

Sure, you just need to add cold water if it's too hot and level the salt on the tea spoon. He nodded like an obedient student, he hurry to the stairs.

Oh no! I forget the skin bottle. He turned to go back, Paula gave him, the skin bottle

Sir, she will be fine, it's nothing serious. He looks at her, how can she say it's nothing serious? Cathy is in great pain, he didn't want to scold her for talking rubbish, he felt staying longer will put her in danger.

He hurry back only to see Cathy is on the floor.

No oh!

Her eyes are red for pain, she grabbed the glass and gulp on it.

Cathy!

She shake her head for him to move aside, Craig don't seem to understand, she try to stand but she just can't, she barf, Craig is lucky that his phone ring.

That would had gone on him, she put the bottle on her tummy, she is calming down but she is still in pain

He looks at it, is not from Gregory, he dump the phone, he looks at the floor of his room and then cathy

Sorry, just let me rest abit, I will clean it.

It's okay, are you... His words hook, Whitney text him to get her spicy soup but not too spicy.

What is wrong with this people with not too much?

You should lie on the bed, I will be back. Cathy doesn't want to lie on the bed but he pull her on it, he did not give her the time to say no.

Craig get to the kitchen, the chef will help at this point, he doesn't want to make another fool of himself

Sir Craig, here!

Paula gave him the spicy soup.

thanks this is what I really need.

He didn't occur to him, how she know the needful but it's not important from now, later he can come asked her about it.

Getting to the room, Cathy is in pain but not that severe one, he hand her the soup, she sip on it, he sit at the sofa looking at her.

Can you help me get ma Paula? Cathy spoke in a whisper.

Can't go down, tell me what you want.

Don't worry, I will get it myself. She try to stand only to see that she has stain the bed, she sit back and bite her lips

Craig eyes meet the blood, he knows the cause of the pain now.

I will be back, give me few minutes. He dart out.

Oh God! Cathy how did you get stupid? How are you going to get out of this place? I didn't even remember that is today.

She is in thought, Craig goes back to the living room.

Paula look at him.

Okay ten if it's too small. Paula almost laughed.

Okay but please make it fast, just press the button when you return.

She nodded and left,he goes back to Cathy, she is more calm but the pain is not totally got.

Did you help me get ma Paula? Yes, just give her five to fifteen minutes.

She didn't say a word then she looks at the floor.

I will clean it, let me rest and talk to ma Paula first

He goes down stairs, he have lost count of how many times he had walked down the stairs, Paula hand him the sanitary pad, he is going back

Craig gasped for air, he walked passed her, enter the room, he close his eyes.

Damn! I hope it's hers. He picked one undies, a nightie, off he goes, he dart back to his room.

Where is ...

Take, you can change. Craig stretch the pad and undies to her, she felt all green, which means he knows, she doesn't have a choice than to get it.

Her hands were shaking, Craig get it from her.

How do I go about it? Her eyes bulge out. Go on

You should remove the paper from under it then place the long part at the back and the short at the front then wrap the wings on the two side of the....

She could not take the other part, she is more embarrass, now he is holding her undies on his hand, fixing pad for her, which means he knows that she is having her monthly flow

His bed is stain, what is she going to do? Here, I am done.

Thanks, I want to eat, please tell Molly to prepare some noodles for me.

Craig look at her, he smirked, this girl wants him out of the room, he stood and walked out, Cathy get into the bathroom, she wants to wash herself fast.

So she can come get the bedspread and wash it before Craig will inform her of the meal but unfortunately before she returns Craig is back, the room is clean the bedspread is change, is like nothing happened here

Thanks, let me finish what I was doing?

Craig phone ring, he looks at it and throw it to Cathy.

I am sure it's Whitney.

Hello Cathy!

Hey Whitney, did you missed me that much? You should ready my money, I told you, you will call first.

I am okay, don't worry too much, I am fine.

Oh, I am really sorry, I didn't mean to leave you, I just didn't calculate.

She press the end button, Gregory look at her.

To my room. Sit! Craig spoke, his voice is soft.

No, I don't.

Come on sit, I don't bite. She sit. How did you cope if no one is there?

I have never been alone when I have the attack, at first it's mother that used to care for me then George and when I met Whitney, she is always there for me, it's just that it escape me, I didn't notice on time.

Craig look at her.

So the water solution is for what? To suppress the pain and the spicy soup is to push it faster, if it start... She press her lips together, Craig look at her like telling her to continue.

If the stuff... as in... She stutter

If it start flowing the pain will reduce much more? Craig asked her, she nodded, Craig move behind her.

I want to drop the blindfold.

Okay, can I go to work with you tomorrow? Craig look at her. Please, I am bored here, don't worry, I will not misbehave, I will help you as your assistant
