Chapter 5: Breaking Rules number two

 "Can you stop Craig?" He raises his hand in surrender. "I will just go and sleep." 

"Better, and stop meddling in my business." He didn't have a choice but to leave, in a few minutes Gregory had gone through all her messages but he could not find what he was dying in need of, there he saw WordPress on her phone. I am sure this is just her note. But he was desperate to get information, so he opened and read, it's much, he just flipped through many pages but something caught his attention. 

"My pain! What is her pain?" He read, "I told him I was sorry, and I wanted him to forgive me but he didn't, I don't even know what I was begging for, I know we have been dating for a year but I didn't let him touch me, I have decided to give him myself after I get my chamber attachment close to him, but he was with another when I got there, he told me I was selfish and that he wants to break up with me but it was late, so I asked him to let me passed the night there but he asked for something, he said I should take off my clothes and stood naked in front of him, I was still ready to do it but, he said his girlfriend will watch me, I couldn't, it's raining outside, I walked under the rain then I saw him calling out on me, I thought he had come to take me back but then he said I have to spend a lot I need to take my profit. John pushed me to the floor."

Gregory's heart raced, the first thing that came to his mind was rape. Did he rape her? he try to see if he could get another information but he didn't see anything, he had seen John on her chat contact but he didn't go through it, he goes back to it, he saw all the hurtful words John had told her, he clenched his fist, Craig pulls the door. 

"Boss! Didn't you hear your phone ringing?" He was so lost in thought, all he wanted was to get John's breath from him, that he didn't notice things around. "Hello, Cathy, sorry I didn't hear my call, I was sleeping." 

"But your voice doesn't sound like one that is sleeping deeply." 

"Maybe not the deep one, have you seen her?" "No, I was told by Grace, that she said she is going to the club."

"Did you know the club?" 

"No, I will check the ones around us." 

'So does it mean you are going to look for her now?" 

'Yes!'

"What? She is going out on her alone by this time?" Craig yelled, Cathy heard him. "Tell her to wait, we will meet her." Gregory looks at him and shakes his head. "Just give us a few minutes, and we are there.' 

"Fine! I will wait."

******

He ends the call, he looks at Craig. "Don't you know how to hide your feelings?" He scratched his head, that was the first time he was having something strong towards the opposite sex and he did not know how to handle it. "Can we go?" He said changing the topic, they left with security, and the drive was fast in no time they were at Cathy's, she was waiting patiently for them, seeing the security, her heart racing. 

"Who are they?" 

"Don't worry, they will help us with the search." They get into the car, and they have searched almost all the clubs around, Gregory is getting frustrated, in all the search he didn't enter anyone, he just waited for the security and Craig to go inside. 

"Did you find her?" 

"We didn't sir." 

"What thy fuck is this?" The word didn't sound good like his face, Cathy looked at him. "Sorry!" 

"Boss, I think we should check Mega Clubhouse." 

"Oh! That is true, I forgot that could be the only one she knows, that is where Grace met you right?" Gregory nodded, they had checked almost all the local ones around this place except that of Mega Clubhouse. "Sure!" They turned to leave, Cathy was in a hurry to get to their pace when she missed her step, her ankle was sprained

"Ouch!" Cathy screamed, in a blink, Craig was right beside her, and Gregory shook his head. "Love makes people stupid." 

"Are you hurt?" He asked in a cool voice, it was like he was hypnotizing her. 

'You should take her home, while we continue the search."

"No, I can't leave without her." 

"You should worry about yourself." He pulled her into his strong arms, and the car of Gregory disappeared. 

"Where is the way to your building?" He placed her on the passenger seat, he was driving at speed unlike Gregory, she smiled, she had forgotten that she was hurt, Craig turned and looked at her, he was so lost in her beauty that he almost hit a car. "Shit!" He curses under his breath and tries to avoid the car, he places his hand awkwardly across her chest. "Sorry!" That was the first time he said it to anyone after sixteen years. "Sorry! I am sorry." 

When she regains her senses, she looks at his hand placed awkwardly across her chest. "Your hand." 

He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, he was acting tough but he was not bad. "Sorry, I don't mean to put my hand..." He paused, he was embarrassed. 

"It's okay." She tried to sound normal but Craig reduced the speed, he was driving slow this time. "Why are driving slow? Go fast, I like it fast." Craig smile. 

"Do you like it fast?" He turned to her, and the gaze was intense, She is shy that is never her thing but Craig is making her shy, she needs to distract him.

"Ouch!" 

"Are you fine?" His hand was on her hair, caressing it. "Sorry!" 

"You sure will tell me sorry, a million times." Craig withdrew his hand from her hair and ran his hand on his neck. "You should put on your seatbelt." 

He increases the speed but it's not like the first time, he can't afford to put the life of this special one beside him in danger, Gregory is waiting patiently outside for the security. 

"Is she in there?" 

"No sir, we can't find her." 

"You all are incompetent fools, a mere girl, you can't find, have you searched everywhere?" 

"We are not allowed to search the private sector." His anger increases, and he darts into the clubhouse, one thing he will not think of doing. He is right in front of the manager. 

"Sir Gregory, what brought you here? Don't worry I will get you the best VIP room..."

"I want to check all the private sector of the club." He said with a straight face, the manager knows that is bad for business because people do a lot of bad things to girls in those places. "Sir, I think it's ..."

"You are fired." 

"No wait sir, you are free to check." He said in fear, Gregory didn't give him a second glance, he was pulling the door and curtains, some he just apologized others he just ignored, he was searching endlessly. This is frustrating. He heard a voice from one of the sectors. 

"Will you stop covering yourself?" 

"Please, stop touching me." She said so faintly. "Are you struggling with me?" Gregory pulls the curtain the place is dark. "Who are you?" Gregory didn't reply, her voice came up again. "Let me go." Gregory pushed the man from her, he punched him. 

"Hey, do you know who I am? How dare you touch me? I will sue you." The wounded man yelled. 

"Maybe, l should be the one asking." He reached for the light. "CEO Gregory!" 

"Yes, if I find out you have raped her, I will come back and make you crippled." He pulled the drunk Whitney and dragged her through the crowd, he was out with her. "Sir, you found her." He didn't reply, Seeing the way she looked, one of the security offered to carry her. 

"Sir, let me carry her." 

"No, I will do it myself." He pulled her into his hands, and he darted upstairs with her. 

******

"Thanks, you can leave now." Craig nodded Cathy felt disappointed, she thought he was going to insist that he carry her home, she was still in her thoughts when he pulled her into his arms again. "What are you doing?" 

"Where is your apartment?" 

"Over there." He walked with her in his arms. "Just hold on, while I get the keys from your bag?" She clips to him, he opens the door, and his fragrance is breathtaking, he opens and pulls her onto the sofa. "Don't move, you will get worse. Let me help you fix it." Craig gets his hand on her ankle, he massages it. 

"Ouch! It hurt." He caressed her cheeks. "You will be fine." 

"Is this how you care for every woman?" He withdrew his hand. 

"Sorry!" 

"Ahem!" She cleared her throat, you should call Gregory if he had seen Whitney. 

"He had seen her." She looked at him, she didn't see him make calls

"Let me get you what to drink." She tried standing up but the pain was much on her ankle, she was falling, Craig was fast enough to grab her, his hand was right on her waist, their face was close, Craig's heart raced, the only thing on his mind is to take her lips in his but he suppresses it, every second with her is like torment, he frees her. "Sit, Let me call him." 

"I thought you had called him." 

'I just assumed." he dialed Gregory's number. "Hello, have you..."

"Yes, I have seen her, she is with me." 

'Alright." He ends the call. "She is with him." "What? I got to go to her." 

"He is not going to touch her." 

"When did I say so?" 

"Your actions said it all, I got to go"

"Don't go, it's dangerous out there, there are so many bad boys out there.' 

"I can't stay here, I might just turn into one." She looks at him with her mouth agape. 

"You should close your mouth before I close it with mine.' She raised her hand and covered her mouth, Craig smirked, he was saying all this with a straight face, and his heart rejoiced, Cathy's behavior was childish but enjoyable, he was happy that he had made her restless how could this little thing in front of him acting all bossy. "I am leaving so you can open your mouth."

"No, as in wait, let me get you what to eat." He looks at her, Isn't she scared of what he will do to her? 

"I can cook, fine not perfect.' 

She tries to stand again but her face frowns. "Don't worry sit, I will prepare it for you, you have Noodles?" 

"Yes, it's over there." She points to him, the whole apartment is like just his bedroom, and although the place is not fancy he can make the noodles

*****

Gregory lay Whitney on the bed, she Burp! "That smell." She said to herself then she threw up on him

"Shit! This girl." He takes off his shirt, and Whitney pushes her lips on his chest and wipes the vomit off her lips, Gregory's heart races, and his demon surfaces, he wants to have his way with her but she is not herself, he just made her rest, he finally put Whitney to bed, all of a sudden she cries for water. 

"Water! I need water! Water!" Gregory remembered that she hadn't eaten all day, so he decided to get some juice, he was feeding her with his mouth, and she took it as he turned into her mouth gently, Craig brought the noodles

"Here! You should eat." 

"Wouldn't you eat?" 

"No! I am not hungry."

"If you don't want to eat, you should feed me." His eyes bulge out. "Then I will not eat." He closed his eyes. "Go on." She wants to grab the fork so does Craig, his hand falls on hers, and he withdraws it. "Sorry." 

Cathy smiled, the first time he said sorry, it sounded strange but it seemed like he was getting used to it. "I will just feed you." He fed her, she opened her mouth, she chewed on it, he was bringing it to her mouth again, she pushed it to him, he had no choice but to eat, he knows how to prepare noodles because of Eve but he had never tasted it but Cathy had made him taste it, he continues feeding her and all of a sudden noodles hung at her lips side, instead of using her hand, she used her tongue to lick it.
