Better and be careful. She hugged him, leaving, Whitney look at her. Stop looking at...

Betty! He called, she raise her hand in surrender and left.

Did you send her out? No, let that crazy girl be, she can be dramatic sometime, she as been like that since we are kids, if she is upset she run away from home and go leave with her friends, if she is tired she will come home and you why are you just coming home?

Whitney stare behind, Craig frown. Sorry, I am abit late and I promise it will not happen again.

Sit for dinner. Craig said. Don't worry, I have eaten, I will passed this one.

Hm! So you want me to eat alone? Craig speak. Fine, I will watch you eat when you shave off even if I am not eating.

What?

Yes, it's a deal or not? She stretch her hand out for him, he tap on it, he too is lonely, he needed someone to talk to, so he shaved after many months, he is looking handsome now, when he sit on the dinning, Whitney smile, she serve him, they both eat and chitchat

Craig left very early the next day, he has an early meeting.

Nanny Meg, good morning.

Morning daughter, are you going out? Yes, I will not have breakfast, is Craig in?

No, he as left already, he said I should give you this. She gave her money, she smiled, Craig give her money every morning before leaving, she just grab the money and kiss nanny Meg and left.

How are you? Paul asked her, I am fine, whoa! Flowers! She run to get it, she almost get hit by a vehicle, he run to her.

Are you fine? Hope you are not hurt? he keeps checking on her, he pulled her into a hug.

Stop it, I am fine, I don't have bruise. He sighed badly, as time goes on, he is slowly falling for her, his reaction as proven to him that he not just care about her but he is having feelings for her, how can he has feeling for her, he is an in poster, she can't possibly love him.

I am just worried. Don't worry about me, I am fine, can I have your number, so I call you or chat with you on social media, when you are not on my blog

Oh, here it is. He gave her the number. So I should save it now.

Paul! She look at him. Yes, Paul is my real name, you should save it with that. Whitney smile, she save it with Paul.

Paul! Nice to meet you Paul! She echoes it again, he smiled, she left him earlier this time, to go home.

She is busy laughing on the phone, Craig heard the laughter, he pushed the door slightly.

Craig, do you want anything? No, I was thinking who you are talking to?

Oh, my friend, sorry Paul, I call you later. Craig look at her, as she end the call. Welcome back, I didn't know you are home.

Oh, I just arrived, I will just freshen up. Alright, I join in a minute. She said, dialing Paul's number again.

Hey Paul, as you were say, did you really scared the man away acting like a lion?

Of cause, he is a frightening cat, maybe you should come to my apartment and see the man.

Whitney smile. are you really going to take me to your apartment? Craig shake his head and left her behind, Paul promise to take her to his place, she visited the first day but his sister is not around, Whitney is developing feelings for him, so is he, she no longer talk to Gregory on the blog, it's been two weeks since they have any conversation and Paul is not picking his calls.

What thy fuck is this? Gregory hit the wall, Craig look at him. What is wrong with you? This idiot is not picking my calls and Whitney as not reply any of my messages on her blog.

Let her be, maybe she is busy.

Busy? She is busy doing what? Greg, please leave me out of your mess, I know she goes out, make calls but I have no idea what happened with her.

Fine, I will find out from that good for nothing boy.

He grabbed his keys. Where are you going? I need to see him, you should attend to the investor.

But...

Stop it, I will not fight him but he better give me a good explanation for this bullshit

Be careful, I will go to the meeting. Craig left for meeting and Gregory get Ian to take him to Paul, when he get to Paul apartment, he hit on the door.

Brother who is there? Is sir Gregory. Why is he here?

Open the damn door, Paul I know you are in there. Gregory yelled, he opened the door. Why is it taking you long to open it?

I was dressing up. Fine, I have been calling you and you are not picking and you haven't given me situation report.

I have been busy.

Paul, did you just say busy? Do you have another job that I don't know about? I told you to keep her busy and tell me everything that happened between you and I pay dearly for it

Nothing, she is fine... His phone ping, Gregory grab it, he read it, his eyes bulge out, so they were assuredly chatting.

Are you chatting privately with her? He grab his neck. please don't hurt my brother, her tears defrost his ice heart.

I am calling off the deal, so stay away from her, if you don't want my rage. He pushed Paul and Walk out, when he is leaving he saw Whitney, is a good thing she didn't notice him.

Brother, why did you not tell him about the girl? Baby, let it passed. Whitney hit on the door. Paul, open up it's me.

Oh! He rush to the door. did you see anyone why coming here?

No, I am here...

Good day ma! The Little girl greet Whitney. Oh! So I finally meet Paul princess, that he just can't stop talking about. The little girl smile. I am Whitney and you are?

Maria!

Whoa! Nice name for a beautiful girl. She smiled but she is looking all pale, she frown slightly.

What is it? Are you fine? Whitney asked her. Yes, brother, you should get my drugs.

He look at his wallet and sighed, he have no coin, he is supposed to collect money from Gregory but he has ruined it because the deal is off, he and Gregory had meet up at the hospital during the time that Craig is hospitalized, he as no money to pay his sister hospital bills because she have cancer of the bone like his late girlfriend.

So when Gregory approach him to act as Reliance, he didn't think twice before he accepted.

Hey there, you should get her drugs.

Whitney...

Baby, keep quiet and eat.

Sorry, aunty, will you always come visit us? Whitney look at her. Yes, you should come when you are with brother he is very happy, I have never see him happy since he lost his girlfriend.

Maria! Paul called her.

Alright, let's go, Maria, be good. Maria nodded as the two walked out.

Thanks for everything, I am really sorry for...

Stop it, Craig give me money every morning, he still asked his driver to drop me everywhere I want to go, sometimes he pay cab for me and I eat everything I want there, so I barely have any thing to do with money.

Whitney said looking at him, he look at her, the next thing, he caress her face, he next thing is lips is falling to her, Maria walked in.
