Cat & Her First Love (Novella Of The "And Her" Series) (COMPLETED) (UNEDITED)

Chapter One- Catherine 16yrs Old (Eva & Justin's Wedding)

"Holly, babe, close your mouth when you're eating" I say trying to hide my laugh as my little sister makes funny faces whilst her mouth is stuffed with food clapping her hands happily.

My little sister Holly who is nearly ten years old is diagnosed with severe autism, she is amazing, and the most beautiful person inside and out.

We're sat at our older sister Eva's wedding sit down meal, me mum's just gone freshen up and dad's gone to get us some more drink's. I look to Holly who's rocking back and forth with the brightest smile on her face, just then I notice someone walking towards me and my eyes widen in surprise.

The lad winks at me grinning from ear to ear, I smile back politely not wanting to be rude, but find myself blushing. I look back at Holly, shaking my head, Wow...

"Holly, looking at me" I say to her and gesture for her to look me in the eyes, and she does, I smile at her. "Hey beautiful, why don't you put your headphones on and listen to some music, eh? Would you like that?" I ask as I show her the p.e.c.s symbol for headphones and music.

She rewards me with her beautiful smile again, flapping her hands in excitement. (P.E.C.S or picture exchange communication is basically a form of communication for the person to ask for what they want or for to guide them to what's next) as I get up her Spotify app, I look for her playlist that has all her favourite songs on and press shuffle, little mix are her favourite right now, so majority of the songs on her playlist are from them.

I put her headphones over her ears, and she grins at me when she hears the first song 'Black Magic' and rocks to the music. I smile and watch my baby sister, god—she's just amazing, takes everything in her stride. Oh, she has her moments, don't get me wrong, but on her good days the rewards are priceless.

I've watched my parents struggle with the fact Holly has autism, she barely sleeps, she hardly keeps still unless it's something that she loves.

To me it was the struggle of watching my parents go through the diagnosis process for our Holly that made me want to study special needs, that's my plan—to go to college, then university, I'm hoping to become a specialist teaching assistant like our Eva.

Our Holly's excited laugh that breaks me out of my thoughts I look as she giggling pointing to the screen of the next song Olly Murs- Dance with me tonight.

I have to admit like, she's got good taste I chuckle to myself. All of a sudden, it's like I can feel someone watching me, I look around the table until I look to the right of me it's that lad who winked at me and fuck.me he's gorgeous, and he's looking at me—why is he looking at me? Oh, my god. He's beautiful, blue eyes, brown hair that's styled upwardly, he's wearing a navy blue suit that fits his sexy muscular body almost like it was made just for him.

I bet he's got a six pack–nah, an eight...

I must look like a right crank, staring at him cos he grins at me like he can hear my thoughts. God, I'd like to kiss those lips—wait, WHAT?

I shake my head, trying to clear my lustful thoughts he stands up—fuck, he's tall as well as muscular...how did I not notice him before?God, he's FINE!!

My heart jumps into my mouth as he walks over to me—fuck! Shit! Stay calm, Catherine stay—calm.

"Hi, do you mind if I sit down?" He asks me gesturing to the chair beside me.

"I..I.. ju..pshh...sure, yep" I babble nodding frantically.
