CHAPTER 7

"5, 6, 7, 8!!" Stomp, switch, twirl, STOMP!

"Corbin, what type of dancing did you say you can do?" you asked. He held you like as if it was colonial times and everyone was in corsets and huge white wigs.

"I never told you? Well I started dancing when I was two years old. I can do what you can do, especially the tango. The tango is Spanish, plus it's a hot, passionate dance that's fierce and sharp. But if you dance with the one you truly love though, then it's way better and more passionate," Corbin replies. He dips you sharply and kisses you slowly and twirled you back up. Kenny chuckled and shook his head.

"You two are funny but that dance is amazing. You both make it work for you and indeed you will succeed."

"Hey, you rhymed Kenny! Hahaha!" You said.

"So anymore dancing for today?" Corbin asked.

"Nope, we practice again tomorrow. This time we do the waltz and salsa! Cha-cha-CHA!" Kenny waves goodbye and leaves, leaving you and Corbin standing there. He starts shimmying to you and you giggle then shimmy back at him. He grabs you and swings you around, kissing you on the lips. It's been a whole week since he asked you out and you were never happier. You were the best of friends with Ashley, Vanessa, and Monique as you shopped in New York. Of course many guys tried talking to you but Corbin would come around and kiss you, then they leave, disappointed.

"So, what do you want to do today? We could gather the cast and crew together. Have a party since we got a hot tub and pool," you said.

"Awesome idea. I'll call the guys, you call the girls. We both order some food, get some music and we got a party. I am so happy I asked you to be my girlfriend." Corbin replied.

"I am glad you asked me because if you didn't we might have a jealousy issue going on."

"Oh yeah I would. Let's go."

You both made it to the suite and started calling everyone about the party. You decided to have it at 8pm and end it at 11pm, only because there was more dance practice tomorrow and no one didn't want to be tired. You both took your showers and started ordering food like pizza, burgers, soda, water, almost anything you could think of EXCEPT alcohol. Luckily, you brought all of your CD's with you so there was gonna be poppin' music all night. The phone rang so Corbin picked it up.

"Hello? Oh hi Ms. Black... it's Corbin Bleu... yes, I am still handsome...hahahaha... sure, I'll get her. It's for you Cat." You grab the phone and smile.

"Hey Mom... everything is fine... I am doing well with the tango and we do the waltz and salsa tomorrow... no I am not 'doing it' with him. Gosh Mom... I'll visit her tomorrow... I love you too... Bye!" You hang up the phone.

"What did she mean by 'doing it'- oh never mind. You gonna see your grandma tomorrow?"

"Yeah after we practice. You wanna come with me? My grandma wants to meet you anyway. Hahahaha!" The door bell rings and you open to find the hugest crowd of teens ever.

"Come on in!!!!" Corbin shouts as he high fives Zac and the guys. You chatter with the girls and the music started playing. Everything was going fine and everyone was having fun. You walked around looking for Corbin so you can dance with him. You saw his hair and started walking towards him when you stopped in your tracks at the site you saw. A girl a little shorter than you was kissing on Corbin rather firmly as he was leaning back trying to push her back. A roaring went through your ears and you started to burn in rage. Corbin turned around and wiped off his mouth and stopped in shock. You walked slowly to the girl and suddenly punched her in the face. She fell to the ground as the music stopped.

"Who the hell are you to punch me? Who is this bitch?" the girl asked rubbing her cheek.

"My name is Catriona Black and I'm his girlfriend! Who the hell are you to kiss my boyfriend?" you spat out. You rushed for her but Corbin and the crew held you back.

"How the hell did you get in here, Linda? No one invited you let alone even come and get on Cat's boo," Monique said. "This slut right here hurt Corbin's feelings a while back when she cheated on him with Jesse McCartney."

"Jesse McCartney?! Now you try to get back at him when he don't want you? Oh biotch, IT'S ON!"

You rush at her and punch her twice before she starts bleeding through her nose. Linda comes back at you and slaps you in the face but you slapped both cheeks. She went at you again but one of the teens grabbed her and pushed her to the door. And everyone shouted all at once,

"AND DON'T COME BACK BIOTCH!!!!" They slammed the door and rushed to you to see if you were alright. Corbin signaled Zac and the gang while he took you straight to the bathroom. You looked in the mirror and saw a slight imprint of Linda's hand on your cheek. Corbin grabbed a washcloth and turned on the cold water, ringed out the cloth and gently pressed it against your cheek.

"Catriona, I didn't know that she was here, let alone come uninvited. I am so sorry, does it hurt?"

"No. How bad did she hurt you, Corbin? Please tell me. And with Jesse McCartney? How low can you get?"

Corbin smirked at you and sighed. He sat on the bathroom counter and looked into space. He shook his head and sighed again. You approach him and hug him as he hugged you back and kissed your forehead. He took your hands and held them in his.

"We met a couple of months back. We were auditioning for a play and got the main characters. As we practiced more and more together, we started to like each other. Finally she admits she liked me and I admitted I liked her and we went out. We did the play and it was so popular, more celebs came like Jesse McCartney. It was the cast and crew party and I went looking for her, just like you did for me. But when I caught her, she was, as you say, 'doing it' with Jesse. My heart was broken at that sight and I dumped her on the spot, not to mention punch Jesse. Monique was there and I told her what happened. She beat Linda up but I pulled her back before she did anymore 'damage'."

"That's Monique for ya. Hahahahaha!" you said softly.

"Yeah. She told me not to remember her at all. Forget who she was and everything that was the essence of her. So I started the process of forgetting her but then I lost every memory of her when I saw you. You became everything to me and I am so glad to have met you but will you promise me something?"

"Of course, but only if you promise me something."

"Well what is your promise?"

"Promise me if I see that girl again, I can tear her apart and send her to the hospital with me and Monique's ring imprints all over her face and body."

Corbin laughed and pressed the cloth against your face and looked at your cheek.

"I can't guarantee I could let you do that. Maybe Monique, hahaha, but promise me you would never hurt me in such a way that it could tear or just rip me apart."

"I will if you promise the same thing."

"Well I promise Ms. Black."

"And I promise Mr. Bleu."

You both smiled at each other and kissed long and passionate until you heard the music turn on and a knock at the door.

"Is everything okay in there?" Zac shouted.

"Everything is fine," you reply back after you peck Corbin on the lips once more and open the door. Monique rushed in checking you then Corbin, worried in the face.

"You should have made me beat her down. All I would have needed was some vaseline and a hair tie and it would have went down. But you both okay?"

"Is your cheek okay?" Ashley and Vanessa say at the same time.

"You guys I am fine. Corbin is fine. We talked and now I want to party and shake it like a saltshaker. Details will be tomorrow. Let's go!"

You grab Corbin's hand who grabs Monique's hand who grabs Ashley, then Vanessa, and finally Zac. Everyone cheered when they saw you and started dancing. Corbin twirled you around and danced with everyone doing their own moves. Then Corbin picked you up and dangled you over the pool while evryone laughed.

"Don't you do it! CORBIN!" you shrieked as he jumped into the pool with you. Everyone else jumped in, splashing around and dancing at the same time.

It was finally 11pm and everyone said their goodbyes and left. You closed the door as the final person left and looked at the suite. Empty pizza boxes were everywhere with drinks and all that icky stuff. Ashley and Vanessa appeared with trash bags.

"Shall we begin?" Ashley asked.

Lucas and Ashley cleaned the kitchen, while Zac did the living room with Vanessa, and Monique, Corbin, and you doing the outside with the pool and hottub. The whole gang finished and gathered in the living room.

"Did we do everything?" Monique asked.

"There is one place left... the bathroom that we weren't in at the party," Corbin said. "I'm afraid of what we might see."

They all looked at each other and linked arms as they approached the bathroom. You opened the bathroom door to see... it was clean. But the smell... you shut the door as everyone gagged at the smell.

"WHO CUT THE CHEESE!" Zac shouted. "Wait the only person who went in there was Ryan... ewwwwwww!"

"Get the air freshners. Ready? Set? SPRAY!!!!!" Monique shouted. You kicked the door open and help you nose as you sprayed everywhere. The mist from the spray disappeared and the bathroom smelled like a jungle but everyone laughed.

"Well we gotta go but thanks for the party. It was great!" Vanessa said. "Well except for ex-gf coming around but AWESOME!!"

"Let's go! Bye Cat!Bye Corbin!" Ashley, Vanessa, Zac, Lucas, and Monique says. You wave bye to them and close the door and leaned on it as Corbin put his head on your shoulder.

"I am sooooo tired, Corbie..."

"Well when you call me 'Corbie', I know you are tired."

Corbin picks you up and carries you to bed. He gently lays you down on the bed and kisses you on the neck, cheeks, forehead, and lips. He holds you tight as he lays down beside you.

"Goodnight Cat, I love you so much."

"I love you too Corbie..."

Corbin's P.O.V

WHAT THE HELL? I usually don't say that often but how did Linda know I was there? Oooooooo... just to see her face again... makes me sick... so I was chatting with some guys about guy stuff and she put her hands over my eyes. I thought it was Cat so I turned around smiling but saw her face. I let go of her hands and grimaced at her.

"What are you doing here, Linda? We don't go out anymore. Where's Jesse? Still banging him?"

"Oh, Corbin. I didn't know what I was doing. I made a big mistake and I'm sorry. Will you take me back?"

"NO! You broke my heart and besides I have someone else now. She is the total opposite of you and I'll let you know she's not the slutty one."

"Oh please Corbin! You don't have a girl. I am the only one for you. Let me remind you of our love for each other."

She grabbed my face and kissed me! Before, I would have enjoyed it but now it made me nausous. Cat was so much better. But anyway I pushed her off and wiped my mouth off when I saw Catriona. Her face was set and her fists started clenching but she didn't stare at me. She was looking straight at Linda. Then she walked up to her and punched her. My hero! hahaha! Of course being boyfriend and all, I held her back. After Cat tore her up, I pulled her into the bathroom and saw that Linda slapped her on her face. I was so mad... then Cat asked me about her. I didnt want to bring back all those horrid memories but I did but as I told Catriona, they seemed to disappear as Cat looked int my eyes. I felt so much better as if a burden lifted from my shoulders. As I hold her and kiss her as she falls asleep in my arms, I felt a special magic around me and Cat. A magic that only makes good memories stay within and bad memories bounce away or just disappear. I really think I am falling in love with her.
