Sorry to a certain reader(that's u Selene—hehe) but there won't be any major sex scenes in this story—sorry to anyone else who wanted one—If I as a writer wanted one I would've put this story under mature. I just don't see Kallie being like that—now Charlotte, she's a different story. So anyway here's an update! Enjoy!

Vincent

I can't believe she went with Vale. Vincent thought as he could feel Charlotte's body moving beside him. He hadn't slept with her….he just couldn't do it. Since he'd met Kallie he just felt different. Yeah, he was happy Charlotte was there yet I wish it was Kallie. I never would've thought Vale would have taken her! Especially since he had to give up being dad's right hand man—that was always supposed to be his place. Yet he gave it up for Kallie. I should feel like I won—dad comes to me to get my opinion…I have gorgeous Charlotte. Yet he still won…why?

His thoughts were interrupted by "Rise Above This" which was bitter irony. Even thought he wanted to ignore it he answered. Rising up from the bed he walked out into the hallway so he wouldn't wake Charlotte.

"Hey buddy," he heard Marco's voice on the other end of the phone, "I heard you got Charlotte back."

"I'm guessing Vale paid you a visit?" he asked noticing that the sun was going down.

"Yep," Marco replied seeming happy which annoyed Vincent like you wouldn't believe, "he just bought two first class tickets to Paris. His plane took off about an hour ago. He told me what happened."

"Oh yeah," Vincent replied feeling his hand clenched so much that it felt like he was going to snap the phone in half, "and what happened?"

"You could've killed her Vince," Marco's voice was low now, "being on top of her like that. She had a huge red mark on her face from the rug burn. What were you thinking?"

"Says the guy who would've been more than happy to bleed her to death last night," he snapped yelling into the phone, "who the hell are you to tell me anything about how I acted!"

"Whoa," Vincent could hear Angel grab the phone away from Marco and her shrill voice came on the phone, "you idiot. You know yourself that Marco would've never have hurt her—maybe just intimidated her a bit. He did the same thing when we met. Vincent you have no idea how bad Kallie was hurt. How the hell could you have done that to her! Maybe she is better off with Vale."

"How can you say that," Vincent screamed into the phone wishing she would take her words back, "he almost killed your sister Danielle and you say she's better off with him."

"He bit Danielle because he loved her." Angel's voice was small now, "he did it because he loved her. He hurt her because he loved her and now look what happened. Vale didn't mean to hurt Danielle but you meant to hurt Kallie, Vincent. You took the situation the wrong way and you hurt her Vincent."

"I didn't mean to hurt her," Vincent's voice was hardly a whisper but it was to late anyway. Angel had already hung up.

Kallie

We were on the plane now, Vale was beside me as we watched some movie on the screens on the back of the seats in front of us. I couldn't tell you what the movie was…I felt too numb.

"Kallie," Vale asked taking my hand—this time I didn't try to pull away, "are you ok? You're acting so depressed."

"You have the audacity to ask me if something's wrong!" I replied—my voice barely a whisper so the people in front of us wouldn't hear, "You're taking me to country where I know no one. You brother held me down earlier and threatened to let that big lady to take all of my blood away just because I was seen with you! Then you have the nerve to ask me what's wrong."

"If it wasn't for me," he said under his breathe next to my ear, "I'd be drinking you for dinner. Let's not forget this Kallie."

"So you don't even like me," I said this time my voice normal, "you just wanted to marry me to make your brother jealous? Hell, you're just as mean as he is."

"No," he said looking in my eyes, "I really do like you Kallie. I figured our deal was one like 'you scratch my back and I scratch yours'. I made sure that my brother didn't kill you and you just have to marry me."

"What's the point of marriage if two people don't love each other?" I practically screamed but then remembered where I was so I just asked it normally.

"Our deal doesn't mean we don't have to love each other," Vale said inches from my face…his voice soft now, "let's start over."

Then he leaned down and kissed me….which I hate to say—it was my first. As the thought entered my head I could feel his lips smile on mine as he pulled away.

"Your first kiss huh?" he smiled touching my hair, "hopefully it won't be your last."

"How…how did you know?" I asked my mouth falling open.

"It was an intimate thing Kallie," he smiled tilting my head up, "I was connected to you…sometimes I can hear what you think. Do you want to try again?"

And there on a plane, miles above the ocean, he kissed me again….this time I couldn't even think.
