Reversed
First of all I would like to thank the people that give me feedback- especially the ones who review regularly. You are amazing!
This chapter will be from Vincent's point of view and will be quite short. I thought about adding a discussion between JT and Catherine but I don't really have time for it and this was a nice point to pause the story. I figured it would better than nothing. Hopefully I will be able to update the next in a few days to make up for that!
Chapter 10 – Jealousy
Vincent's point of view
Why did you do that?! I was mentally yelling to myself while leaving the warehouse. I had kissed Catherine. Why did I do it? Not that I didn't want to since the first time I saw her. Not that I didn't like it. But I had promised to gain her trust- as a friend. I had planned on taking it slow for both our sakes. So that she could feel comfortable and safe around me and to protect myself. Protect myself from falling in love with a woman who had secrets, a woman who could disappear any moment.
I sighed. I had wanted to wait with my move until she had opened up to me. Well, it was too late for that now. Just the thought of how awkward things would be between us from now one made me sick to my stomach. Who was I kidding? She would probably cut me right out of her life without hesitation. I sighed one more time. Good job, Keller. What are you? 16?
I was frustrated. How could this happen? It was not like I was unexperienced. I did actually pretty well with the ladies- quite a charmer. I knew that every woman needed something else. Catherine required patience, so why did I fail showing it?
I probably should just stop kidding myself. I knew exactly why, I just didn't want to admit it. It was because of this Gabe. The mere thought of a man from her past made my green-eyed monster roar. I acted impulsively wanting to show her that I was there. Making sure that she knew Gabe wasn't the only one interested. I had to mark my territory like some primitive animal. Well, we are all animals when it comes to such things after all.
And the things I said to her? I only knew her a few days and technically promised to wait a year to even consider a romantic relationship. I told her that I was willing to put my life on a hold. Who does that? Not me normally. Did I do it to impress her so she would prefer me over Gabe?
No, I didn't just act. It felt right to say those things. I wanted her badly. I wanted her right now, but if I had to wait to get her, I would. It was better than giving up and never knowing how things could turn out between us. Besides it wouldn't do me any harm. Before meeting her I had no interest in starting something with anyone. I needed a break, so I could as well wait for Catherine. She wasn't a woman who I just wanted to get in bed after all. She was intriguing me in more ways than just a sexual one.
I would call JT tomorrow and ask if I could stop by. I would tell her how I wasn't ready either so she wouldn't feel the need to kick me out of her life. I had to be careful though. I needed to show her that I wanted to be with her. That I just wanted to do it right. To get to know each other first, trust each other. Otherwise I might lose her to Gabe.
While figuring all these things out I finally reached home. It was very late so I just took a quick shower and went to bed. I soon found myself thinking about her again, her face, her eyes, our kiss.
It was going to be hard to just bond for a while after this kiss. It had felt so good and for a brief moment she had kissed me back. How was I supposed to just talk to her?
It was the way it had to be, so I just would have to be strong enough. Now I wasn't with her though. It wouldn't hurt to allow myself to think about her. About our kiss, about what could have happened. A man could wish after all. Tomorrow I would be supportive and a shoulder to lean on, but tonight I would let my mind free. This thought planted a smile on my face.
I closed my eyes and almost felt her lips on mine. I imagined how her small body would feel beneath my strong hands- how it would look like without her clothes hiding it from me. I got more and more carried away. I got excited. I imagined how her fingers would travel across my chest, my stomach. How she would kiss my neck. This woman was driving me crazy even in my thoughts.
Good night, Catherine…I hope you also think about me.
I know you guys probably hate me right now for slowing things down now that they seemed to get started. :D But trust me there is time for romance and there are some issues still open and need to be dealt with.
In the next chapter JT will surprise us a bit. He and Catherine will have some serious talking. Gabe will do some research. Will it lead him to Catherine? I am also thinking that is about time for some actin with Tess.
So far my writing has been very innocent but I am planning on writing some hotter scenes in the future. I am not sure if I should rate it M because of a sex scene in the chapter. I mean people who read it also watch the show and there has been some making out. However as I don't know how old my readers are I will probably just give you a heads up and then mark the inappropriate part of the chapters. Is it ok with you guys? To be honest if a 12 year old wants to read it, rating won't stop them. If it turns out to be too much (which I don't intent in this story) I will of course change the rating and will let you know so you know where to look for my update.
I was thinking about a one-shot with now beasts. Just two people meeting and giving in to passion. Would you be interested?
I have also some other ideas for stories but they will be longer. I guess you guys would prefer me to finish this one first?
Let me know what you think!
