"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.
