A beautiful view surrounding the beach with big and small boulders. The waves billowed against the big rocks and spread smaller waves all over the sand then retreated back to the ocean. The setting sun hung just above the horizon reflecting on the water like a mirror. The clouds sailed across the sky. That's where Catherine and Vincent met on the beach. Despites of her marrying Evan Marks and Vincent having a girlfriend.
Catherine was lost in thought as she stood on the sand with her head tilted back, and her arms out in the air then she twirled around like a little girl. She wasn't watching where she was going and bumped into Vincent. Both of them crashed down on the sand with Catherine landing on top of him. They were startled and she gasped.
"Oh God, I'm sorry..are you ok?" Catherine gulped, getting off of him and rose to her feet.
"Oh, I'm fine, that's okay." Vincent grinned, getting up to his feet and brushing off the sand from his jeans.
Catherine helped brushing the sand off him "I'm so sorry! I didn't see you there. I'm embarrassed" She snickered to herself when she covered her mouth with her hand.
Vincent raised his brow. "Are you laughing at me? I don't think it's funny when you bump into a person."
"Oh no I'm not! It's just...it's a little funny. By the way I'm Catherine Chandler-Marks." She smiled, holding out her hand.
"I'm Vincent Keller, it's nice meeting to you." Vincent smirked, shaking her hand. "You live around here?" he asked.
"No… I'm from NYC. I'm just on my vacation with my husband which he's not here with me." Catherine retorted.
Vincent looked puzzled and looked at her, "Why would he not be with his beautiful wife? You shouldn't be alone by yourself...I mean this is a beautiful and romantic beach where couple stoll while holding their hands. Well my girlfriend is not here, either. And by the way, I live in NYC as well." He grinned.
Catherine blushed and her cheeks became red "Well tell that to my husband...but it's okay..I don't mind being alone...oh she's not here?..why is that? I mean..you know? Anyway you live in NYC..really?! I don't see you around." She chuckled as they continue to walk on the sand.
"Well..she had her own plans...it's hard to believe that we live in NYC and don't see you around, that's strange..but it's good to know!" Vincent said.
Vincent and Catherine strolled along the beach and when they came up to two unoccupied beach lounges, he suggested that they sit down. They took their seat on the lounge and relaxed. Vincent glanced at her and feasted his eyes on her body from head to toe. He admired her sexy body.
He thought to himself, "Heck, I want her badly, if she wasn't married, I would take her in a second. I want to make a wildly and passionately love to her..too bad she's married. She is much different than Alex..she is needy, must be perfect in everything."
He was so zoned out that he failed to hear Catherine call out his name few times.
"Vincent, earth to Vincent" Catherine called and snapped her fingers in front of him repeatedly.
Finally Vincent snapped out of it and he blinked his eyes.
"Um..what? Vincent said in confusion.
"Where were you going?" Catherine giggled.
"Huh?! Oh nowhere..sorry I was just thinking." Vincent answered.
Catherine laughed "You should look at your face when you are in a dreamland...what were you thinking about?"
Vincent ran his fingers through his hair and blushed with red face, "What..no I wasn't dreaming..nothing to think about, really." He scoffed.
"Yeah, right...whatever you say hahaha." Catherine smirked.
Vincent rolled his eyes "you want to know my thoughts, hmm? looking at her and smiling..but not now, I'll tell you later." as he crossed his arms and snickered.
Catherine smacked him on his arm and giggled.
He said "ouch, what was that for? Um..do you want to walk more or you need to go back to your husband?"
"Well..let me check the time on my phone." Catherine smiled as she pulled her phone out of back pocket and turned it on.
"Ah it's only 5..I just can stay here for awhile if you don't mind. Oh you go ahead and be with your girlfriend. You don't have to stay." Catherine stated.
Vincent shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have to leave anyway. I'm enjoying your company." Vincent winked.
Vincent and Catherine enjoyed the view from their lounge. They were ready to leave, so they got up, shifted, facing each other and gazed into their eyes. They leaned forward to look at their lips, their lips were barely touched, causing her thinking "Catherine! What are you doing? You're married! You'll regret if you do that..do not do it!" She finally snapped and realized that she almost kissed him, getting up from the lounge quickly and stepped back from him, "I'm sorry what I was thinking..I'd better go and see my husband, ok? So I will see you later, Vincent." Catherine said as she quickly left and didn't look back.
Vincent watched as she left and he mumbled to him "Oh Vincent, you are stupid...what was you doing? She's freaking married and I have a girlfriend. The last thing I want to do is hurt Alex and I don't want to cause marriage problem for Catherine...I really wanted to kiss her... Why? I felt something...But what was it?" He sighed deeply as he ran his fingers through his hair and closed his eyes.
Catherine hurried to her hotel room and went inside and closed the door behind her. She tilted her back against the door and slid down on the floor, thinking about how she almost kissed him.
"Oh, God, I wanted to kiss Vincent...his body..muscles, arms, chest, legs, and face with goatee...he's HOT!..if I wasn't married, I would do him. I've just met him and what's wrong with me?!" She palmed her forehead with her hand and sighed. She looked around to check if Evan was there. He wasn't there. She wondered where he was. She grabbed her phone from her jeans and dialed his number, it rang few times, but no one answered.
She laid down on the bed and turned tv on, flipping the channels until she came across a good movie called "A Walk in the Cloud."
Vincent returned to his hotel room and called out Alex's name, "Alex! are you here?..what..where is she?" He was puzzled.
He tried to call Alex, but got no answer, so he went to a small fridge and grabbed a beer and then plopped on the bed and turned tv on, flipped the channels, until he found a hockey game.
After several hours, Vincent grew worried and wondered where Alex was. He tried to call her several times and got no answer. While Catherine did the same thing with Evan.
Catherine sighed "I don't have Vincent's phone number, I wish I had his number, so I could call him...ugh where is he staying at?" she mumbled to herself. She stomped out of the room and went down the stairs to find the front desk.
Evan put his hand on Catherine's shoulder as she jumped and turned around and looked at him.
Catherine smacked his arm angrily, "WHERE THE HECK HAVE YOU BEEN ALL NIGHT, EVAN?"
