Hell no! Gregory screamed. I don't want to have a child like you, you are too rascal for a boy.

Oh, so you want him to be like who?

I want him to be like uncle Fredrick.

Tony's dad? Gregory nods, among the three children of their grandfather, Tony's dad is the calmest of all, he doesn't want trouble but his wife is the worse human on earth.

Good for you, so what should we call him? If it's a girl...

Craig, didn't you hear that nothing happened between us.

Be truthful, did you not touch her? Whitney eyes bulge out because of Craig's question.

Is that what you and Cathy did? Gregory asked out of the blue.

No, I didn't touch her.

Be truthful, you touch her. Craig scratch his head. Did you not touch her?

Fine, I only kiss her.

What? Whitney yelled, Craig hurry out, Gregory laughed.

Greg, I didn't know Craig is this crazy, he could even joke around. Whitney said.

He is very crazy, he can say nonsense with seriousness, if you get to know him better, he is a nice person.

Craig love Cathy right? Gregory look at her. Go on and answer me, you didn't give me answer the first time, I know he do and those bruises how did he get them? Was it that time that I and Cathy get into trouble?

Yes, don mask said he want to see him beaten or he is going to have his way with cathy. Whitney eyes bulge out. Yes, he has always love Cathy right from the first day he saw her.

He would had tell me, there is no way Cathy will not have agree to him because she too have some feelings for him, hearing that he put his life in danger for her, would had be the best way to trap her.

Craig doesn't want that, he want her to love him just as she loves Tony.

Whitney, can you also stop hurting others if I tell you to stop?

No way, if anyone hurt you, I will...

Shh! Craig is protecting Cathy but when she asked him to stop, he did, can you also do it to for me?

Fine, I will. Whitney smile and caress his cheek. What?

Greg, can you go to your room then asked Craig to come over while I hide at the bathroom?

Why?

I want to know what happened between him and Cathy.

Go asked Cathy.

No, she will not tell me everything like Craig will, hers will not be sweet.

You don't want to set my cousin up, do you? Come on, please, I will not say anything, I will just listened.

Fine, come on.

Gregory get to his room, he texted Craig to come over to his room.

Boss, why are you stressing me? Gregory didn't say anything, he shift for him to sit on the bed, Craig jump on it.

Silly, you should go to your house, your bed must be missing you now?

Who said so? I was there two days back, so you see, it is not missing me. Gregory look at his bruises

How are you now?

I am fine, why did you leave Whitney? She is fine now, just let her be, I haven't really heard what happened between you and Cathy.

Greg!

Relax, I missed the action, come on tell me.

There is no joy, is just that she accompany me to the office and I could not tell her my feelings.

Don't start from there, you should start for when she was feeling pain.

What?

Yes, go on and tell me. Whitney is getting irritated, she text him, to go straight to the point and stop asking that stupid question, Gregory read and smile.

Craig, go on now.

Fine, she is in pain, that was when Whitney called, so I have to care for her, then...

What kind of pain?

Gregory! He called in frustration.

Don't call me go on and tell me.

She is having her... Craig pause. Is it her monthly flow? Gregory asked, he nodded.

So I have to care for her, I even fixed her pad. Whitney wanted to screamed but she close her mouth, she is embarrass.

Craig, how did you fixed it?

Whitney close her eyes inside the washroom. What is wrong with this boy, why can't he say what he is asked to do?

Why are you asking? Do you want to fixed for someone?

Yes, should in case Whitney is having hers? Don't worry, she will teach you.

Is it Cathy that teach you how to fixed it?

Yes, have I ever care for any girl in my life except Cathy? She is the first girl, the next day she followed me to the office, she was wearing my ring.

What?

Yes, she saw it at the garden, you remember I throw the ring away at the garden, when she accepted Tony. Whitney close her mouth, so Craig wanted to engage Cathy before now.

What a fate? Gregory said.

Yes, we talk about our childhood, I took her to my house, I follow her to her boss' house to give him juice, we ride a public vehicle.

Public vehicle? Gregory asked him all surprised.

Yes, you needed to see the way I was sweating. Gregory laughed hard. I even accompany her to the market.

No way! Gregory titter

Yes way, at first I don't want to go inside, then I saw a man talking to her, so I have to follow her.

Bad boy, jealous will not kill you. Craig smile and run his hand on his neck

It's not just because of the boy, I saw a boy and a girl probably married, they both were really sweet, walking hand in hand while buying things, It's fun, I kind of like it, it's really not a big deal to go to the market. Gregory smile. I kind of love it

love made you stupid, you even have to ride a public vehicle and go to the market. He shrugged, Gregory titter

Go on, what happened next?

It's finished now, then we return home, I cook for her, she feed me with her hand, I wanted to tell her, I love her but Tony appear and everything get messed up.

How can you say it's finished? You said you kissed her, where did you kiss her?

Gregory, you really are a gossips.

Go on and finish it now.

Fine, we get to my house, that annoying bright was hitting on her, so I get mad, i took her to my room, she get scared so I have to cool her, I want to lock my lips with her but Betty walk in, so I could not, she said she is going home, then my dog help me, she is scared of the dog, she run back to me then I kissed her, I was all over her

Bad boy.

I was really hungry for her, not just for her lips but her body, I haven't been with any other woman since I met her.

Whitney was shock, so she mistakenly hit the hand wash soap.

Who is there? Craig asked, Gregory scratch his head. Go on and tell me.

Whitney have no choice than to come out. Gregory, you set me up?

No, is not like that, sorry, I was the one that talk him into it.

I will go on now. He hurry to the door, Gregory is dumbstruck.

Craig, I am sorry.

It's okay Gregory, I am fine. Whitney run to his front.

Don't worry, I will help you get Cathy, I will tell her you...

No oh, don't, it will only put her in more danger, you don't know what my dad is capable of doing, he can stop her breath in a blink, I don't want anything to happen to her.

But...

Craig grab her hand and place it on Gregory's head.

Swear with Gregory life, that you will never tell her, that I got those bruises from saving her and that I love her.

Craig!

Go on and swear, I beg you.

Fine, I swear but are you not going to tell her anytime that you love her?

I don't know, but for now, let's keep it a secret, when life get fair with me, I could take her in.

Fine, I go now, I will not tell her but please take care of yourself.

I will, Craig walked away, Whitney hugged Gregory.

I really hope everything will be fine, I hope Cathy can cope and Tony should not break up with her.

Everything will be fine.

Tony has ride home with Cathy throw the ride, Cathy didn't say anything, when they get home, Cathy is sitting on the couch, Tony look at her.

What is it? Cathy asked him, he shake his head. When is your flight?

In three days. Cathy tears drop, she wipe it. Beans pie, can you stop crying? You are breaking my heart.

Tony, you love me right?

Beans pie...

It's okay, I Know you can't love..

Shh! I love you deeply, I really do but...

Your mom? You can't disobey her?

Beans pie!

Fine, let's make it memorable, here, I want to do this ten things with my boyfriend but I never had the chance to do them but now, I think we should.

What is it? She hand him the diary. He go through it. You want me to cook for you? She nodded. Beans pie, strike it out, I don't know how to cook. She nod then strike it.

Let me see the others. Tony look at it. You want to feed me with your hand? She nodded again. Strike it, it's childish.

Okay! Go to the third.

Fine, you want us to go on a couch date and play with popcorn? She nodded, I will order for popcorn and the four is; we should turn off the lights, close the door and watch television while sitting on the floor.

Yes, like we are at the cinema. Cathy said with excitement.

Beans pie, I could take you to the cinema, if you want, just the both of us will be there.

No, I don't have that kind of money. Cathy said.

You are not the one paying, I could afford it. Tony please, I want it this way.

Fine, let's do it. The popcorn was delivered in no time, they both went on a couch date, play with the popcorn, they were watching the movie, Tony is not a fans of foreign movie.

Beans pie, let's change it. You don't like it? He nodded, they changed it to nollywood movie, in the movie the boy parents doesn't want the girl for the boy because she is poor, Cathy is crying again, she just felt she is the girl in the movie.

Beans pie!

Sorry, I am fine, just go on, let's continue. No, you are not, let's go to next on the list.

But...

Shh! I don't want you crying too much. He caress her cheeks, the fifth say, Lie down outside and stargaze together. We should watch the star but there is no stars, so we should skip it as well.

Yes, what is the next? Cathy asked him because the diary is with him. I should watch you while sleeping.

Okay, we can do that later.

Yes! The seven you wipe it.

Yes, you might not be around when it comes.

What is it?

That you care for me during my monthly flow.

Ew! It's a good thing you strike it out, I hate to see blood, I can't possibly care for you during that time. She just nodded again. The eight say we should rent a tandem bicycle and go for a ride.

Beans pie, that is not necessary, I don't even know how to ride bicycle.

What of a bike? Like that of a power bike, you and I can ride fast on it.

Beans pie, I don't like it, skip it. Cathy sighed inwardly

Go to a vineyard, is on nine but I don't think it's necessary too.

Tony, we don't have to go there, I have wine here, we can used that one, even if we don't taste much.

Beans pie, do you want to get drunk? No, even if I have to get drunk you can care for me when I mess up.

Beans pie, skip it, the last one say, breakfast in bed. He wants to turn it, Cathy hold his hand.

You are not allowed to, it's my secret. Alright, so we have how many to do? Looking at the whole list, it's just three they could do because Tony can't give her breakfast in bed, he doesn't know how to cook, Cathy sighed inwardly

Just lie, why I watch you sleep.
