FOR THE SAKE OF KATHERINE(Book 2)√

~sweetest person

Chapter twenty six

Katherine's POV

**

It past midnight and I still can't seem to force myself to sleep as I keep tossing and turning. Images of my moment with Lavi keeps replaying in my mind over and over again and can't seem to shut it out. I could still feel his taste on my tongue and when he nimble on my ear region.

I thought I was gonna loose my fucking mind. My stomach flutters at his mere touch and this shirt am putting on still smells like him. I'm loosing my senses just thinking of what could have happened right there at that moment and yet I find myself being afraid to think about any of it.

I should be thinking of something else. Something not sex related or am gonna fucking loose it. I should focus my thoughts on lighting that candle for my mom and praying for her soul to rest in peace wherever she might be.

I'd like to think that my mom is in heaven cos she was the kindest and sweetest person I know and heaven is for people like her. I guess God took her because heaven was in need of an angel and earth sure wasn't treating her well enough.

I also knew she was gonna go over to a much better place but had a hard time accepting any of it but that's passed now and I can finally do something for her. Lighting that candle for her will mean more than a lot to me cos for me; it's like putting her up in the heaven sky where she is free to shine down on us from up there.

Dad might want to tag along as well but I doubt if he would when I mention a certain someone. I remember going to church every Sunday with mom back in London and the preacher man will read from the holy Scriptures as he lay emphasis on the importance of being a good Christian cos it pleases God a lot when we do good things and after she died. All that Sunday to Sunday thing went right out the door as well.

Pulling the cover apart, I turned on the light and head for my drawer craving to look at my mom picture again cos it was pointless forcing myself to sleep when obviously I can't. Pulling the top drawer open,my sight fell on a small box wrapped nicely with a bow and even had my name on it placed right on top of her photo frame.

It must be from my dad..

*happy seventeenth birthday kitty*

Unwrapping it carefully with a shaky hands. I found a silver locket on the inside just waiting to be caress under my unsteady hands....

So beautiful my gosh...

The door crack open to reveal my dad leaning against the door way with his hands tucked away.

"I would have come in earlier but thought you might be sleeping and didn't want to wake you"

"I couldn't sleep and thanks for this!" Rising the necklace in my hands.

"Oh I see that you have found your gift as well"

"Yeah...it's beautiful! Thanks"

"It was your mom's and she wanted you to have it and I thought that time is now" he took a stride and stood beside me.

"I bet it looked so good on her"

"I don't doubt it will look even better on you my dear" smiling at me

"Do you wanna put it on me?" I know he wants to.

"I'll be honored"

Snaking his hands around my neck. He place the piece of jewelry around my neck and turning me towards the mirror, I gasp at the sight of it hanging from my neck and I knew for sure at that moment that am never gonna take it off ever again.

Wow!

"You might wanna see what's on the inside though" he hinted with a grin across his face.

Snapping the locket open only to realize a tiny picture of my mom and I framed on the inside...this isn't just a gift for me any more but the best of gift I have ever received. It's like being close to my mom again.

"She had that made when you were a day old" taking it between the palm of his hand and Caressing it slightly.

"Thank you so much dad! For taking care of me all these years even though I haven't made your job any easier"

Placing a kiss on my forehead, he pulled me into a hug and since am seating, my face was stuffed into his bosom and suffocating me as well but am gonna endure for a little while.

"You grew up too fast kitty but I don't mind because you'll always be my little princess and hey I know am literally suffocating you right now but let me savor this moment before you ruin it" chuckling and shaking against me.

"You can let go now dad! You're suffocating me" bursting his bubble even before it began.

"Alright fine! It's past midnight already. We should be sleeping and not hugging it out" tucking his hands away again.

"That's right! Uhm... Have you spoken with aunt Nene since the party?" Suddenly had the urge to ask even though I don't know why?

"She was already asleep and besides, I didn't want to wake her up especially not after all the stress she had to put up with organizing your birthday even though none of that was part of her job"

"Yeah right..we better allow her to sleep it out" I agreed readily

"Well,I should go now and allow you to sleep" turning towards the doorway

"Yeah you should... Goodnight dad"

"Goodnight sweetie...love you"

"Love you too dad"

My worries were lost to the rising and falling of my chest as I drifted deeper and deeper into a world of total bliss while rubbing at the Little locket sleeping around my neck. This day couldn't have turned out any better than this.
