"Horror," Adriel said.
"Action." Catherine chirped.
"Horror."
"Action."
"Horror."
"Action."
"Horror."
"Fine then watch it alone I'm leaving," Catherine muttered as she tried to jump off the bed when Adriel immediately held her hand, stopping her.
"Fine! You're a blackmailer you know." Adriel grumbled as he searched for an action movie on N*****x.
"Aww thank you." She smiled while shuffling his hair as he grumbled and both the siblings watched the movie while eating popcorn.
Half of the movie passed and Adriel was already snoring on her shoulder making her roll her eyes at his enthusiasm of watching a movie but ending up asleep in the middle.
She moved carefully and laid him properly on the bed as she covered him up with the blanket. Turning the LED off, she kissed his forehead. She wasn't the one to show affection a lot but she loved Adriel dearly. He was her only family. She cherished him a lot.
Closing the door she walked out only to halt in her steps when she found Mr. Richard standing beside the door. He smiled at her and went in to check on the sleeping Adriel.
The next morning Catherine woke up tired and exactly on time. She felt like taking off but the new mission she had to accomplish made her go through her routine as she hurriedly took a shower and got ready for university.
She went into Adriel's room and woke him up. This time she didn't pull his blanket, she opened his game and started playing on his Xbox.
"I'm dying. Oh, damn, I died again. Gosh, I'm wasting Adriel's coins and all the lives he has left." She said loud enough for Adriel to grumble as he checked on her only to scream horrified. "STOP CATHERINE!" The way Adriel jumped on her had her laughing out loud as he grumbled taking the joystick from her, he paused the game and turned to glare at her.
"You ruined two of my lives!" He yelled and the next thing he was running after her. Catherine giggled as she ran out of the room and closed the door while holding the knob tightly so he wouldn't come out.
"You made me fall yesterday. It's a payback baby." She sang as Adriel growled trying to open the door but he couldn't, Catherine was slightly stronger in this case. Because she was older.
"Get ready. We are already getting late." She yelled as Adriel grumbled and left the door before padding into the en-suite bathroom.
She giggled at her doings and went down into the hall then to the dining table where freshly made breakfast was waiting.
Richard has already left for work. "Thank you, Martha." Catherine smiled as Martha served her. Adriel came as they both had their breakfast.
They both left in their respective cars.
Mr. Steve stopped the car at the parking lot of the university as Catherine hopped out after thanking him only to pause when a Porsche 911 GT3, jet black rolled in, that almost every set of eyes set on it.
Whoever it was, must be filthy rich but she cared, Nah. She shut the door and started to walk in when the person came out of the car causing her to pause on her parade to go in.
She watched as Mr. Mute opened the back door, and grabbed his bag. Ever so elegantly he shut the door and locked the car with the remote control. Took out his ray ban and wore it.
Damn! He looked hot as he walked in and all the girls went horny on him.
There was something in his walk. The way he walked like he was the King of some sort. His stance attracted her, no doubt he was handsome. The aura, the vibe, his stance. These were the things attracting her. She never gets impressed by the looks cause they could be deceiving but the personality and aura of a person speak a lot about him.
She blinked coming out of her trance and as if something kicked in, she jogged after him and in a minute she was walking beside him.
His hands were in his pants pocket. Catherine smirked as she took her ray-ban and wore them and just like him she placed her hands in her pants pockets and mimicked his style of walking just to annoy him so he would talk first. He surely noticed her but he literally...
Ignored her existence.
She scrunched her nose up and stopped marching. He kept sauntering, not giving a flying ‘f’ about it.
'The freaking bet!' She growled in her head and again ran after him.
"Hi." She chirped and turned around so now she was ambling backward while facing him. He kept his face lowered and ignored her.
"I'm starting to think you're deaf as well." She blurted out and then bit her tongue. Always. Like always she blurts out absurd sh*t and regrets it later.
The man didn't even bother to raise his head.
'He seriously can't hear. So sad.' She thought ruefully.
"I know it's difficult for you to be deaf and mute. It must be hard but on a serious note if you need help or anything regarding notes and stuff I'm always here. Oh, you can't hear... wait let me write it down." She took out her notebook and wrote it down as she tore the paper and held it in front of him.
Ignored.
Her jaw dropped down. "Don't tell me you can't even read." She blurted while tearing the paper she pushed the torn pieces into her bag.
"I should tell my friends you are a very nice guy. We should not disturb you." She smiled at him yet he kept looking ahead.
"Slow down Mr. Mute. Are you jogging? You see I can't keep up ooh-ahhh.`` She squealed as her heel bumped into something and she was falling back when a strong calloused hand grabbed her arm and she was pulled against a hard chest making her gasp loudly.
"Careful!" Mr. Mute said in his thick, rich, deep, damn, hot voice.
"He said what?" Avery asked with wide eyes. "I was about to fall, he grabbed my arm to save me and said, '' Careful!" Catherine said the last words in the same manner as he said them. "Wow, he ain't mute," Quinn said as Catherine nodded feeling stupid for all the things she has said to him. Gosh, he wasn't even mute which meant he's not deaf also. Why does she always embarrass herself? "You won't believe half of the things I said to him in my blabbering," Catherine muttered as she took out the books for her next class from the locker. "Awesome. Then what happened after that?" Avery muttered as she checked her nails. "He steadied me, stepped away from me as if I'm a cactus, and then strolled away," Catherine said with a sigh. "I don't know how to approach him. He's just too weird." Catherine mumbled. "Leave it, Catherine. Admit your defeat." Joseph mused with the waggle of his brows, causing her to scoff at him. "In your dreams." She muttered. "It's getting boring," Avery mutt
The next day passed in complete silence. Catherine didn't bother him. Nor did she pay him any attention. She made him want to believe that she had finally left him alone. She was sitting with her friends in the cafeteria as Avery brought the topic of Rasmus up gazillions of times, so Joseph spoke up. "I've heard from the coach that Rasmus will be joining us in the practice match tomorrow for player selection for the finals," Joseph informed which got her attention. "Wow. I didn't know that he was a player." Avery mused saying double-meaning words, causing Joseph to roll his eyes as Quinn munched on her food quite elegantly. Samuel too sat quietly eating and watching. "13 days left babe." Avery reminded her, making her sigh. "I know that already." She muttered as she noticed Rasmus walking in. He walked to his usual table and sat at it alone. The rest of the day followed smoothly. The next day Catherine left the home a bit early. She couldn't sleep the whole night. She wasn't feel
She inhaled sharply only for his rich cologne mixed with his earthy scent to fill her lungs. She tried to move back but she was frozen feeling his hard muscular body against hers. Her heart stuttered when his hot breath hit the crown of her head. A loud gasp left her lips when he grabbed her arms rather roughly in his calloused hand and pushed her away as if she had burned him. Luckily Joseph was right behind her as he held her arms to steady her. Her eyes barely raised as they met with his glaring ones. "Dude, it was an accident," Joseph said seriously as he came to stand beside her. Mr. Mute only glared daggers at her before he walked past Joseph. "He's weird," Joseph said. "He's terrifying." She muttered slowly. She didn't know why she found him scary and cold. "Let's go or we'll get late for class," Joseph said as she nodded her head and they went in his direction because Mr. Mute has the same class as them. She ignored him not because she was scared of him or anything. He
Catherine started whistling while looking at the sky as she tapped her foot on the floor in a cool nonchalant behavior, so he wouldn't think she was gaping at him. But how in the world could she not react when a giant of a man who smells like cinnamon and fresh rain was hovering over her like a looming death sentence? There was still some distance between them. Catherine pretended to just notice him as she furrowed her brows and gave him a confused look before a beautiful pearly smile adorned her face. "Hi. So you finally decided to talk to me. I wonder if you're here to give me your number. In case you don't know my offer still stands." She blabbered nonstop while comically moving her hands. "To be honest you'll be good together with my Avery and she keeps asking me about you, nonstop. I think she likes you a lot. On a serious note, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get in relation with Avery. Though she could be a pain in the ass sometimes and push your buttons to irrit
"How did he get to know about it?" She asked with menacing narrowed eyes as Joseph stepped back totally freaked out by her murderous behavior. "How am I supposed to know that?" He said while putting his hands in his pockets and staring at the comical changing expressions on her face. "You sure there was no one when we did the deed?" She asked with a questioning brow. Joseph's jaw dropped as he stared at her with wide eyes and then he raised one of his brows and gave her a flirtatious look. "When did we do the deed?" He asked in a fake deep voice making her frown for a second but when she understood what he said, she face-palmed herself and gave him a bored glare "I'm saying when we were putting our plan to action, was there someone who saw us?" She asked with forced coolness. Joseph made a thinking face as his finger tapped his jaw and each passing second was irritating her more. "Nope." Joseph plopped the 'p' and Catherine's eyes narrowed even more. "So was it you who told him
"Get the f**k away from her!" That deep voice growled in vicious menace causing her heart to stop beating as her eyes widened. Her head snapped in the direction of that deep voice. Even though she couldn't make out his features because of the lights behind him, that voice was so intense to be forgotten. He took a step further in so that now his face was slightly visible and as soon as his olive cold eyes met hers, she knew he was none other than Rasmus Colt, aka Mr. Mute. "And who the f**k are you?" Fredric hissed arrogantly. Rasmus stayed quiet like a night but the weird dominating vibe that oozed out of him was threatening, almost predatory. He took another step towards Fredric but Fredric didn't even move an inch. "Is she your chick?" One of the goons asked Rasmus to which he still stayed quiet. "If she ain't your chick then I suggest you f**k off." Fredric hissed as he painfully tightened his grip on Catherine's wrist causing her to wince in pain as she tried to get her han
At that exact moment one of the stalls opened and a guy walked out while fixing his belt. "Holy f**k! This is a Male's restroom." The guy said completely shocked as washed his hands and looked at Rasmus who was leaning against the wall and then at her. "I see." The guy smirked as he walked towards the door, Catherine stepped aside so he could leave. "Enjoy." The guy mouthed to Rasmus and he winked at Catherine who just gaped at him dumbfounded. "Enjoy what? The smell of your farts you left behind?" She snapped as that guy froze on the spot looking hella embarrassed before he immediately left from there. "Would you come out with me so we can talk?"
Catherine was in the library trying to study for the test that was given to them and would be held tomorrow. She was the type of student who won't study daily and only studied at the last hours, or you can say one night before an exam. That doesn't mean she gets bad grades. The girl was super intelligent and always got good grades. The only least intelligent one in their gang was Joseph and the complete bookworm was Quinn. Samuel, Avery, and Catherine come in the middle. "Quinn please..." Joseph pleaded with puppy dog eyes and Quinn ignored his whole existence. Quinn was the one who helped Joseph in his studies. She was persuading him to study for the last two days but he didn't, and now he was begging her to make a spell of all the topics and magically install it in his brain.
