Chapter 7 Lawyer Chandler

Vincent POV

I didn´t know, whether to open the door or pretend, that I wasn´t home. And I feared a little, how he would react, if he saw Catherine in my house.

Before I could think about it further, he knocked again, this time more desperate.

Only seconds later I opened the door and his anger scared me. He pushed me back and I had no reason, to fight.

"Where is Catherine?" he screamed.

"I´m telling you three things: don't scream at me at my place, I have no idea, who is Catherine and if you don´t leave my house NOW, I´m gonna call the cops." He had let go of me and gave me the chance to push him back a little.

"I'm not leaving until she comes out to talk to me. I know, she´s here."

How crazy is that? Manuel apparently didn´t trust Catherine at all and I was wondering how he could ever do that to her?

"I said: GET OUT!"

Manuel had to get out and now, especially if I wanted Catherine to be safe. In Manuels condition I wouldn´t doubt, that he would hurt Catherine if he needed to.

Catherine POV

The voices of Vincent and Manuel sounded over from the hallway and they didn´t sound calm at all. I tried to catch a glimpse at them. How the hell did Manuel find me? When I tried to get back, Manuel saw me. Damn it, I cursed myself.

"Catherine! I didn´t know, you were here." he said sarcastically.

Vincent looked surprised and shocked at the same time, as I walked out of the shadow, to face Manuel.

"You are cheating on me! Why do you wear his clothes?"

His voice sounded totally calm but I knew him well.

"Catherine: why did you do that?"

"I´m sorry, but what right do you have to accuse Catherine of cheating, when all of us her know, that you are the one, cheating on Catherine? "

Vincent carefully took my hand in his and gave me the strength to talk.

"I saw you, Manuel! With Sarah! How dare you even come here?" Tears started welling up in my eyes. "I loved you!" My voice broke at my statement.

"This is, why she broke up with JT? To be with you?

You heard Vincent: get out of here. I can´t stand being around you anymore."

"Catherine ...?!" he tried to come closer but this time Vincent didn´t let him.

He intended to shove him out the front door but Manuel punched him in the face.

Vincent was surprised and stumbled backwards, before he recovered and started to fight Manuel back, who was stronger though.

"Manuel, stop!" I screamed and tried to fight him to but before I could do anything, Vincent pushed him down the ground.

He tried to get up quickly and when he saw that he had no chance here, he whispered with a harsh voice:" We´re not done here." With that he turned around and left.

Vincent had sat down on the ground, supporting his head with his hands on his knees.

"Are you ok?" I asked carefully. Blood dripped down his forehead.

"I´m so sorry! This is all my fault?" I whispered in tears.

I helped him to get up, lead him to his bedroom and he sat down on his bed.

"Can I help you?" He needed to take care of his wound, because the bleeding didn´t seem to stop.

Careful, not to hurt him, I dressed his wound with the gauze.

Vincent POV

Catherine had pretty good skills with dressing wounds and I let her help me.

She looked concerned and I wanted to hug her, give her comfort but I didn´t dare touching her.

Catherine POV

Vincent sat close to me and when I was done, he gazed into my eyes and none of us didn´t say a word.

The distance between us became smaller and a thousand thoughts were swirling around in my head.

The events of the day, my sudden feeling for Vincent, our closeness, all of this just confused me. That I was here with Vincent, in his clothes, that I stayed over night.

But Manuels outbust earlier kept me thinking and I got up immediately.

I hoped to find myself a bottle of water in the kitchen but Vincents sexy, deep voice called me back, only seconds after I had left the room.

"Will you help me up to get, too?" "Sorry!", I blushed a little.

We walked into the direction of the kitchen but suddenly, conveniently he stumbled and pinned my body against the wall with his.

His breath on my lips made me loose my mind and all I could do, was wait, to see, what he was up to.
