Dedicated to you all, my lovely readers 💖😘💋
Catherine's Pov
"Doctor" Mrs kish screamed,crying and tugging his shirt. The doctor knowing that there was no way he could pacify the woman but however tried.
"Ma it's ok"
Tears were already rolling down from my eyes, how was I going to cope without George and just then I felt a light touch on my shoulder, I turned around to find the person and then I heard my name and I woke up,it was then I realized it was only a dream and heave a sigh of relief.
"Thank God it was only a dream " I said and prayed over it seriously.
"Catherine" I heard a soft whisper and it was George, I was so happy beyond control,I hugged him tightly and he smiled.
"My bones please" he said and I moved away quickly.
"So you missed me?" George asked smiling. His hair was ruffled but he was still my handsome George.
"Yes,a lot" I replied and he smiled.
"Can't wait to be out of here" George muttered.

When George was discharged from the hospital, I was quite happy and I couldn't wait for him to resume school because some guys were making advances at me.
There was a black rollyce already parked outside the house and I wondered who it might belong to, I looked at George and I could see a glint of anger and hatred sprawling in his eyes.
The door was opened by a maid and the first person my eyes landed on was a well built man,dark chocolate skin with a stern face,he was good looking for someone of his age and then I observed the face and it dawned one on me that it was George's father. I greeted warmly and George rather murmured than greeted. He held my hands protectively like his dad was going to injure me. It was obvious that they both weren't in good terms. Mrs Kish and Natasha however gave him brief hugs.
"Heard you fell sick, hope you are fine?" He directed at George.
""Yes,thank you" George replied.
"Heard of your heroic act of saving a girl just after you walked out of me, impressive" he said and took short strides around the sitting room. He was sipping slowly and he spoke with a rich English accent. He was dressed in a black tuxedo.
"Please dear,not here and now" Mrs kish pleaded and led him away.
I led George to his room and he laid on his bed and turned his face away.
"George" I called softly and came closer.
"I really don't know how you feel but I wanna be there when you cry and laugh, when you are confused and don't know what to do, when you are crazy and sane,please let me"
George turned around with a smile and held me close to him.
"Stay Catherine, be my queen" he whispered.

A week later, George fully recovered and resumed school and everyone seemed pleased that he was fine.
"Mr Eze have just been giving your girl trouble because she doesn't have a defender,thank God you are here" a boy said and we laughed. We had free period in my class and so I went to meet George, he was pretty much pleased and held me close.
"Don't worry,I will deal with him" George replied. We were soon going to write our Jamb exam and most teachers hardly came to our class to teach well except Mrs Sarah our civic teacher who was now standing in front of the class,I made to leave the class but she stopped me.
"C'mon will you get back, if its to stay with your boyfriend you will but you don't want to learn" she chided.
"But ma,this is not my class" I tried to protest.
"Why didn't you think of it?" She asked. I sat down boiling in rage to avoid trouble. George kept caressing my palm to cool me down.
"In fact stand up, what is a drug?" She asked.
"A drug is any substance prescribed by a doctor and dispensed by a pharmacist which can be in liquid or solid form that can be used to cure an ailment" I answered.
You think am dull abi?
She motioned me to sit down and I paid no attention throughout her boring lesson.

George's POV
My dad was back and I couldn't miss the glances he threw at me especially when I was with Catherine, I don't trust that man honestly, I don't think I can ever. He cheated on my mum and was probably still cheating and his bent on making my life miserable.
One day when I was taking a short break from reading for close to 4 hours,I met my dad sitting comfortably on the sofa in our sitting room
"How is the preparation for Jamb going?" He asked.
"Great" I replied, I was not used to having discussions with him.
"Hope you are not being distracted by anyone or anything?" He asked and I knew immediately that he was referring to Catherine. He just seemed to dislike her.
"No" I replied again.
"Well just to inform you,you are going to further your university education abroad" my dad announced.
"With Catherine right?" I asked.
"She's going to study here of course, you are going alone" my dad said tapping his foot on the floor.
"Dad I don't want to study abroad, am not interested, please don't force it on me"i said calmly.
"I don't think you have a say" My dad countered.
"But its my life" I almost screamed.
"And am your father, either you dance to my tunes or you leave"
****
Things went on smoothly and we wrote our jamb exams,on that day, my mum drove us there,the questions were tricky but i had studied hard.
"How was the exam?" Catherine asked me innocently, she was wearing an Ankara top with a black skirt. She looked beautiful and innocent.
How can I ever forget you?
She was my heartbeat and my queen.
"George" she called and I smiled.
"Are you OK?" She asked and I nodded.
"Your birthday is next week right?" I asked.
"Yup,20th February" she replied.
"I will bath you and pour you sand" Natasha who had been chatting all along chipped in.
"Don't try that rubbish" she warned jokingly.
"In fact you have provoked me,I will flog you in addition" Natasha said and she laughed nervously.
She hates flogging

Catherine's POV
At school,everyone was talking about the Jamb exam, some found it hard,some found it easy and some found it normal. I opened my locker when I returned from the staffroom where I dreaded so much because of the teachers, I picked my pen and noticed a well folded paper on my books. I opened it and found a beautiful and bold handwriting.
Hello Catherine,
You don't have to know me and don't bother your pretty head,I know am not supposed to tell you but I have always crushed on you,from the very first day,the first day you seemed lost and you looked so innocent and beautiful but then he came along and everyday am trapped at the background and I just watch everything and right now I don't know if I should move on or not.
Your secret admirer
Xoxo
I was still trying to figure out what was wrong with George,he was always moody and sometimes he gave me this affectionate look like he was going to leave me soon and now who can this be?
Another mystery I hope to unravel.
