"My God, " Katrina screamed. Eric's body temperature was high. Could it be the rain?? She started to panic. Then she remembered what her mom usually does when her body temperature is high. "You need to relax Katrina, " she said to herself. Just then Eric's phone rang. The caller was Melinda. Who was she??One of his numerous ladies?? Katrina ignored the call. On second thought, she decided to pick the call. "Hello, " she said. "Sorry, can I speak to Mr Eric? " The caller asked. "Ummm... Who are you? " Katrina asked. "I am his secretary. He has an appointment by nine: thirty with Mr Dennis and he's yet to come " the caller replied. "Ooh.. He can't make it, he's sick" Katrina replied. "Since when?? " The lady asked. "Last night, " Katrina replied. "Damn. That means I have to cancel the appointment, ``she said. "Please do, " Katrina replied. "Extend my greetings to him. I hope he gets well soon " the lady said.

Katrina saw him bend his head to kiss her. At first she was too surprised to do anything. His lips was almost on hers when she regained her senses. She pushed him away. Eric didn't know when he drew Katrina back. Their faces almost met, she was looking pretty and her lips were too tempting. Without thinking, he bent his head to kiss her and wasn't expecting the push. Okayy, first time a woman was rejecting his kiss! He got pissed and threw his hair back in anger, holding his forehead to calm himself down. "I'm sorry about that. I didn't know what I was doing, if not I wouldn't have tried to kiss someone like you. You're clearly not my type " He said angrily. "Huh? " Katrina asked. She was surprised by his outburst. "I think you over stepped boundaries. You're coming close to me. From now on, I'm going back to the way things were before. You will talk to me formally from now on and a new rule is added." Eric added. "A new rule? " Katrina repeated. "Yes, you won't talk to me unl

Katrina was glad when they entered the hall. Eric's mom and another woman walked towards her and Eric."Katrina darling" Eric's mom said hugging her."Good evening Ma'm.

The table was well decorated with different wine and drinks on the table."Come with me son, let me introduce you to my friends " Eric's mom said to Eric."Is it necessary? " Eric asked."Yes darli

*Back at Sweetgrass * Maureen, Katrina's sister sat in her room drinking and lamenting as usual. There was a knock on the door and she stood up to open it.It was the man that brings the latest newspaper to her. Maureen thanked him and he left.After what Eric did to her, she kept reading the newspaper to know the latest updates about him.She still can't get over Eric!The front page of the paper made me gasp in shock.Maureen stared at the pictures of Eric and Katrina on the paper.Wait! She can't believe this. Maureen cleaned her eyes and stared at it again."Is this really Katrina??my own sister? " She asked herself. Maureen brought the paper closer to her face."It's Katrina.

Maureen felt betrayed and angry. She threw the bottle of wine away, it shattered into pieces.Just then, she hear

Katrina admitting the fact that she likes Eric made her shiver.It shouldn't be so.Well, she doesn't love him yet.
