George
(Unedited)

Who was Catherine?
His girlfriend who he had lost touch with,no actually,he broke all means of communication with her.

What was I thinking? George thought.

After dropping her the previous day after their reunion which he  had organized all because of her,she didn't seem to be affected at all by his presence,the icy silence  and cold shoulder was all he got.

He knew he deserved it and she was already with Dike, who was I kidding, getting her back was going to be a big task.

Many things made us separate and he told his mum and Natasha never to tell her,he wanted to tell her when he  wanted,it was just an annoying story which he hated to tell people.

His day at work was crowded with thoughts of the girl that had stolen his  heart,he couldn't get her off his head and once work closed,he deceided to visit the nearest tennis court,he  really needed to play something before he ran mad.

The tennis court was just as usual,it was a VIP are so he saw lots of people he knew who were from rich homes,the popular spoilt kids and the industrious young billionaires .

George was jostled from his  thoughts when he saw Dike,he had totally forgotten that he always came to the court to unwind.

"Hey bro"He called out and he did the bro handshake with him.

"How are you doing,we hardly see you here"He noted

"I just have a lot on my mind lately" George replied and Dike gave him a quizzical look which he did not miss.

"I've honestly been meaning to ask you a question?"

George seemed really interested in knowing. They both walked along a path,with bats in their hands.

"Do you still have feelings for Catherine my girlfriend? I discovered you guys dated in the past,you didn't even tell me"Dike queried.

"Guy am sorry,I just didn't think it was important"George apologised

Dike sighed

"So do you still have feelings for my girlfriend?"Dike asked again

George stood still,he was definitely not expecting such direct question from Dike,heck,he still had feelings for Catherine but he couldn't possibly say that to Dike. He might just throw a tantrum and moreover he knew how Dike behaved when angry.

"No,I don't have any feelings for her,it's all in the past"George replied. If only Dike could read his mind.

"You know I wouldn't betray you man, we've been friends since the 90's"George added since Dike still had doubts written all over his face.

"I know bro,the thing is that I really love Catherine"Dike confessed and then George managed to hide the scowl.

"I understand"George said in a quiet voice that was barely audible. Who wouldn't love Catherine,she was beautiful, industrious and everything he wanted.

Dike fist bumped him and then went ahead to play tennis with a guy. George's mood was definitely ruined. He turned away and drove home,he was definitely going to visit the bar to take some shots.

Catherine

Drinking was the perfect way Catherine decided to take her mind off things, hell she couldn't believe what Dike had done. She drowned one shot of whiskey, it was truly refreshing.

"Why would you cook late,I know if George was your boyfriend,you would have cooked on time"He yelled.

"What concerns George with this issue and moreover I told you I had an appointment"

She drowned another shot of alcohol

"So your work is more important than your boyfriend right?"His eyes was blazing now

"I never said so,did I?"
She was totally fed up.

"Are you really talking to me like that?"

Catherine ordered another shot,she definitely needed it

Two hot piercing slap was what she got. He had a satisfied look on his face..She couldn't believe it

"You...you.. slapped me?"Catherine didn't know if she was stating a fact or asking a question.

"Can I have whiskey this time?"Catherine asked the bartender

He poured her a glass and she grimed at the taste of the drink,hot but certainly good.

Dike watched as she angrily packed her bag and left his apartment. He was certainly not remorseful.

She had a whole bottle of whiskey, her mind was hazy,she could no longer think with her brain. Everything around her was definitely double. The chairs,the bottles and every other person.

"How much is her bill?"A strange but familiar voice asked.

She felt being carried and she held his shirt tighter and he allowed her.

She was still in the state of being carried and she couldn't remember other events,but the next thing, she felt the softness of her bed  after a long time.

Her mind was definitely blurred but she didn't miss to see the familiar eyes and chocolate skinned boy.

"Don't go"She managed to say.

"I'll never leave you"
And that was the last thing she heard before she closed her eyes against the light.

Catherine woke up the next morning to a killing hangover. Damn,her head was definitely pounding,she struggled to keep up with her pace.

All she needed was drugs and food,yes, definitely and then she heard the noise from her kitchen.

Did someone break into her house?

In fact,how the hell did she come back on her own from the club,she knew how wasted she was so it was definitely someone who brought her home.

She took short strides to her kitchen and she could perceived the waft of eggs,no,her stomach was grumbling and letting out groans. She finally came face to face with a shirtless man,no,a shirtless familiar man that she could regconize any day and time.

"George!"

He was leaned on the cooker,the kettle was already boiling with water probably for tea and the well fried eggs were served in a plate.

"Catherine,you are awake"He had a frown on his face, seriously,she was the only one who was supposed to be angry.

"Why are you here?In my house?My kitchen?How?"She asked all at once and she could see the bored expression on his face covered with  frustration.

"You should be more careful when going out to drink,not every guy will pay your bill and still take you home"He responded flatly and it hit Catherine right on her face.

"You actually brought me home?"
She asked in a small voice

"Yeah,I guess I did"This time he had his back against her,the kettle in hand and cup in another,how was he able to locate everything in her house.

"Thank you"She mumbled under her breath.

"Breakfast is ready"He informed her and led her to seat.

"Didn't know you can cook"She said not too audible enough but George heard her.

"I learnt over time"He replied with a smile.

The breakfast was tasty, she was hungry so the taste seemed to be better with each bite.

"Don't you have a business to run?"She asked again.

"You are my first business, don't forget I own the business"

Catherine tried hard not to grin,you are my first business ringing in her mind. It sounded intimate.

They were both thrown into an akaward silence,both afraid of what to say. Finally George looked up from his meal and gazed over Catherine's face. Catherine wasn't sure of what he was doing but his hand had gone to cup her cheeks,she flinched at the contact and pain,the slap Dike had given her was still evergreen in her memory.

"What happened to you?"George asked,he held her gaze, Catherine couldn't look him straight in the eye.

"I fell from the stairs"Catherine lied

"So you fell from the stairs,no broken arms,just 3 finger marks on your face?Wow,you really need to upgrade your lying skills"George was totally not amused.

"Am not lying,I spilled water and I just fell from the stairs"Catherine knew it was a stupid lie.

"Catherine,can you please stop lying to me?"George pleaded.

At this point, Catherine got really mad.

"Stop acting like you care,ok,you are the cause of everything,you just act like you care but you don't,just leave me alone and go back to Melody,you aren't my boyfriend"

It seemed she had being waiting for a moment to release all her anger on him and it was just a perfect time to do so.

George looked at her briefly,his face was totally devoid of emotion,he didn't mutter as much as a word,he wore his shirt back and shut the door after him.
