Chapter sixteen.

Eric kissed Katrina passionately and Katrina kissed him back.

Gosh!!, he's a good kisser.

Eric couldn't believe Katrina was kissing him back. Her lips tastes so good.

He could still taste the wine she drank earlier on in her mouth. He started romancing her while they kept on kissing. He placed his hands on her breasts and she stepped back.

Katrina felt his hands on her breasts and came back to her senses. She stepped back immediately interrupting the kiss and was panting for breath.

"I'm going to my room now " she said and without waiting to hear anything from him, she ran upstairs not minding the high heels she was putting on.

When she got to her room, she slammed the door and locked it. Katrina went straight to the mirror to check her lips out.

It was swollen, her lipstick was smeared. Unconsciously, she ran her tongue over her lips. She felt like kissing him again.

"Come on Kat, get a hold of yourself " her inner voice said.

"Time to undress" she said and started to pull off her clothes. The kiss still replayed in her head. She headed to the bathroom and took a quick shower before changing into her night robe.

Katrina wanted to call Laura right now but it's too late already. She was not sure Laura was going to answer the call.

"I would just call her tomorrow " she said climbing into her bed and drawing the blanket to her chest. She kept on thinking about everything that happened this night till she slept off.

****

Eric couldn't sleep. He kept on rolling around on his bed. Thoughts of Katrina filled his head and mind.

He still don't believe she's affecting him this bad. He was even more surprised at himself when he found out that he was jealous at the party.

Katrina was the first lady to ever affect him this way.

"What's happening to me?" He asked himself. The answer came to his head.

He likes her already!

And her lips?, Gosh! Kissing her was heaven.

He doesn't want to develop any feelings for her, he wanted to continue being a play boy but he can't help it. He was falling for her already.

"God help me " he muttered aloud and forced himself to sleep.

*NEXT MORNING *

Eric woke up and perceived the aroma of fried egg. It only meant Katrina is up already. He came down from the bed, walked into the bathroom to take his bathe and brush his teeth.

He came out of the bathroom minutes later, dried his body and put on a white singlet with black tight trousers.

Today was a Sunday and he would be staying at home. He came out of his room and walked down the stairs.

He was right. Katrina was setting the dinning table already.

"Good morning Sir" she greeted.

"Call me Eric " Eric said before realizing what he just said.

"Huh?? " Katrina asked surprised.

"About yesterday, I'm... "Eric started to say but was interrupted by Katrina.

"Should I call the bodyguards in to have breakfast? " she asked.

"What bodyguards?? " Eric repeated.

He had totally forgotten about them. Katrina gave him a weird look.

"They slept outside? " I

Eric asked.

"Yes" she replied.

"Call them in" He instructed and she left.

****

Katrina knew Eric was about to apologize for the kiss but she didn't want him to apologize so she interrupted him.

She went out to call the bodyguards in.

They came in with her, their faces looked very stern. They're really huge too.

They bowed their heads to Eric.

"You are?? " Eric asked.

"I'm Alex " one said.

"I'm Tom" the other replied.

"So Alex and Tom, you are both welcome, but you know, I don't really need a body guard. " Eric said.

"Your mom asked us not to leave your side. The other one is coming with our things today " Alex replied.

"Okay then " Eric said.

"Katrina, help them fix the rooms downstairs. They are going to stay there from now on" Eric said to Katrina.

"Okay sir " she replied.

They heard Alvin open the gate and a car drove in. It was the third bodyguard. He brought their things, delivered it to them and left.

He drove out of the compound and Alvin closed the gates.

"Since your things are here already. Why don't you go refresh then come join me for breakfast " Eric said.

"Okay boss" they replied and left.

Katrina arranged their rooms and dished their food for them. They came out minutes later after they've taken their bathe and ate with Eric.

After eating, they excused themselves and went outside to continue guarding the house with guns in their hands.

Katrina cleared the table, washed the plates and swept the house. Eric was watching every of her movements but she pretended like she didn't notice.

She finished her chores and went up to her room to take her bathe. She came out of the bathroom minutes later, dried her body, applied cream and put on a short tight gown.

She didn't feel like leaving her room, not when Eric was around, so she sat on her bed, picked her phone and logged in on her Instagram account.

Katrina was surprised by what she saw.

The pictures of her and Eric was all over. They were taken last night by those reporters!

My God!!! She wasn't expecting this. She stared at the pictures, she was really beautiful last night. Eric and her fitted perfectly well.

Was he aware the pictures is all over the internet??

Wait, what if her sister sees this??

Katrina panicked at the thought.

She came out from her room holding her phone in her hands. She needs to show Eric these.

Katrina saw Eric sitting in the sitting room staring at something in the newspaper he was holding.

"Katrina, look at this " he said on seeing her.

Katrina took the paper from him. The same pictures she saw on her phone was in the newspaper too.

The pictures filled a page of the newspaper.

"POPULAR BILLIONAIRE GRACED THE DINNER PARTY OF MRS SWADYS WITH HIS NEW GIRL" was boldly written as the headline.

"What??... New girl?? " Katrina asked in surprised.

"This came out so fast. The reporters are so good at making up stories " Eric said.

"Oh my, so what are we going to do? " Katrina asked.

"Nothing. I can't ask them to take it down, it's too late" he replied.

"My sister must have seen this " Katrina said inwardly.

"Okay" she replied.

"I saw the pictures on my phone and I came down to show you. I didn't know it's on the paper already" Katrina said.

"I'm sorry about it if it makes you feel uncomfortable "Eric apologized.

"It's fine. It's not your fault. I'm going to my room " Katrina said and left.

She spent most of the day up in her room praying and hoping for her sister not to see the pictures.

The day passed by quickly and soon it became dark. Katrina prepared dinner and served the meal. She ate and washed the plates, after that she went up to her room to take her bathe.

Katrina was through with bathing, she wore her night robe and sat on her bed.

Her phone rang, it was an unknown number. She picked the phone with shaky hands and answered the call.

"Katrina " a voice Katrina knew so well said at the other end.

She gasped in shock.
