IN SEARCH OF KATHERINE ( Book 3 )completed

~Trap

Chapter seven

Lavi's POV

**

I woke up to an empty bed the next morning. Katherine was gone and no longer sleeping soundly by my side as I had expected. Waking up to her on my bed every single day is the best part of my reality but all of a sudden; the day I decided to sleep a bit more, she was gone?

What the hell?

This has never happened before. She has always been the last to wake up each morning so where is she?

Shit!

"Katherine?" I called out to her as I struggled to my feet hoping she was somewhere around the corner or maybe outside in the front yard but got no answer.

Where is she?

I hurried outside in search of her and met our neighbor's son playing outside with his paper plane.

"Pelumi, have you seen my girlfriend?"

"No! I didn't see anyone. I was just playing over here" he shook his head at me.

Why would he see anyone when he is so busy piloting himself around.

Shsssssesh...

I called out to her some more but got no answer still. It's just 7:30am in the morning, where could she have gone and without even telling me and worst! In her condition.

Please let it not be what am thinking!

"Ekaro ma, am looking for my girlfriend. Have you seen her?" I asked Pelumi's mom who had emerged from the house.

I sounded more desperate than a man whose house was on fire and in need of a fire service.

"Ekaro my dear, I saw her with a bucket heading towards the tap a while ago. Am sure she has gone to fetch water"

What?

The tap? All by herself?

That's like a couple of distance from here!

Damn!

"Thank you ma" hurrying away in the direction she had left.

I have to stop her before Aunt Nene or someone else sees her while she is out there getting water. Everyone around this neighborhood goes there to get water and Aunt Nene is most likely to be there as well.

Shit!

I ran all the way to the tap and there she was,waiting in line for her turn to fetch water.
