Review? PLEASE?

Heather was just about to jump into her bed, when JT called.

"JT! Hey, how are you?" she asked.

"I am fine, how are you, Heather?" he asked.

"Doing well. What's up? Where are you?" she asked.

"Uhmmm.. I don't know how to say this… but Vincent is in New York, you know." JT blurted out.

"Huh? What? Really? That's cool! Wait… why is he here? I thought he and Cat broke up?"Heather asked, while frowning.

"No… uhm yes. He told Calinico and me a week ago that he had been having these strange dreams lately with Catherine in it… And that something told him that he had to go to New York… so he packed his bags and left Tinos a week ago." JT explained.

"So… if he has been here for one whole week. Why hasn't he told Cat? Cause I am pretty sure she doesn't know that he's here." She said.

"Oh, so you haven't seen him, cause he hasn't called me or Calinico. We are kinda worried about him…You know considering the threats he received and…" he began. But immediately stopped, when he realized that he had accidently said too much. As he slapped his head, Heather asked.

"No, we haven't seen him. Wait! What? What threats?" she asked.

"Uhumm… nothing big… just uhum, it's not that important. I uhumm… I have to go. Call me when you hear from him or see him? Thanks, bye." JT said and hung up, mentally kicking himself .

Heather frowned and huffed."What the hell is going on. And why doesn't anybody tell me anything? I am so sick and tired of this!" she said and decided to ask her sister to tell her what's going on!

A man was standing in his huge living room, sipping at his drink. He was tall, dark and handsome. He was all those things and also had a cold and jealous heart. But he didn't just become like this overnight. He was brought up this way. Since he could remember, his grandparents had drilled him to hate another man. That man was also tall and handsome, but he had a gentle heart.

As the man talked to his employees, he got very angry…

"I specifically told you two to make sure that the fire burned his house down! But what do you do?! You only let half of his villa burn! And what do I hear from you two now?! He is gone and you don't know where he is?! You know what, sometimes I wonder why I keep you two around! Get the hell out and find out where he is. Now!" the man shouted and threw his glass at the wall.

As his employees walked out, a pretty young woman walked in.

"Aaah, my pet. Come here." the man said.

The woman smiled and sat on the couch, as the man handed her a drink. She accepted it and took a sip of her wine.

"So how are things?" she asked, as she raised her eyebrow.

"Well, my threats worked. Cause the girl has left Tinos for 5 weeks now. And I don't think she's coming back." The man said, as he poured himself another drink.

"Aaah, that's good news! She was gonna ruin your plan. But do you really think that she was the one to break the curse?" she asked.

The man nodded."My grandma said that one day 'SHE' would return and undo the curse. So I believe it. I do." he replied.

"Have you seen her and compared her to the picture in the book? Does the girl really look exactly like her?" the young woman asked curiously.

The man let out a deep breath."Yes, she does. One of my 'incompetent' employees took a picture of the painting, when he was there to set the fire and ooh yes… she looks exactly like her." The man replied, as he balled his hands into fists.

"Wow. So what are you gonna do now?" she asked.

"I cant do much, cause those two idiots has lost him. But we will find him and we will be watching his every move… he cannot let her come near him… And if he doesn't obey, I am gonna make him pay. That's for sure…" the man growled.

The young woman got up and stood in front of him."Why? Why do you hate him so much?! Why cant you let him be?" she asked.

He narrowed his eyes and grabbed her by her wrists."What?! You have feelings for him or something?" the man hissed.

She tore her hands from him."Oh, come on. You know that's not true!" She snapped.

He watched her reaction, but let it go." Why? Why I hate him so much?! You know why!" he shouted.

"Yeah, but can't you move on? It's been so long. It's been TOO long. And besides… he has suffered SO much already. Don't you think its enough?" the woman said.

The man scoffed."Enough suffering?! No! I am gonna make sure that the curse will never be broken and that Vincent Keller will stay a monster till the day he dies." He threatened.

As he said those words, the hair on the back of the young woman's neck stood up. She knew that he meant every single word…

"No… I am not gonna pull out the bullet…First, I need you to explain to me… why you DRUGGED me, Vincent. After I faced the Beast, even though I was scared out of my mind and told you that I wanted to be with you. Tell me... Why did you drug me?"She said, as the hairs on her arms stood up.

Vincent looked up at her and scoffed." So you really think that I am gonna talk, cause of your little threat? Oh please! In my life, I had to withstand much more pain than this." He said and got up.

He walked to the bathroom and grabbed a sharp tool. As he looked in the mirror, he easily pulled out the bullet from his flesh.

Catherine watched as he grabbed a towel, but ran towards the bathroom to help him.

"Let me!" she demanded.

Vincent locked eyes with her, wanting to refuse but she didn't look like she was about to do as he said. So he rolled his eyes, as she grabbed the towel, band-aid and alcohol.

She was so close to her… As she stood that close and as her fingers brushed his skin, Vincent involuntarily closed his eyes and inhaled her delicious scent…

"I am done." She said, as her fingers rested on his bare chest.

As he opened his eyes, he looked into her hazel ones. She was moving her fingers softly on his skin and looked him with pleading eyes.

"Why? Why would you drug me? Why would you do something so horrible? That's not you… That's not the Vincent Keller I fell in love with. The Vincent Keller that I wanted to be with and the Vincent that I would give up my life for. Who? Who are you?!" she asked, as her eyes erupt with tears.

Up until now, Vincent had managed to keep his distance from her and had managed to keep up his façade, acting the cold, heartless and calculated person. But when those words left her lips and when she looked at him with those pleading, gorgeous eyes, it was over. All his reserves and control faded and evaporated into thin air…

As the walls around him crumbled, Catherine lovingly cupped his cheek and asked.

"Please tell me. I know you aren't this cold hearted." She whispered.

He swallowed hard, as he tried to avoid her gaze. But the way she was caressing his cheek and the way the scent of her perfume was seducing him, made it impossible for him to ignore her.

"Don't. Please, don't do this Catherine." He begged.

"Do what exactly, Vince?" she asked softly, her voice a mere whisper.

As Catherine watched Vincent, her heartbeat had kicked up a notch. She was getting through to him! His defenses were down… So she took advantage of the opportunity and moved even closer to him. As she brought her lips towards his ears, her breathing became shallow.

"Vince, I love you so much. And I have missed you. Why? Why should we be apart? Why can't we be together? I don't understand. My body and heart are desperately aching for you. Why are you denying us what we both clearly want and need? " she whispered, as a sob escaped her plump, red lips.

At that, Vincent lost it. He totally lost it... Forgotten were the letter and threats. All he wanted was to feel her and hold her close. And never let her go. Never ever… As long as he lived…

As he gently grabbed the back of her head, he crushed his lips onto hers. As their lips and tongues met, Catherine moaned softly. God…. This is what she had been longing for and dreaming about…

As his breathing became shallow and his heart sped up, he wrapped his arms around her small frame. Cat immediately locked her fingers around the back of his neck, as she tasted his sweet, sweet lips… God! She missed this… So much!

Vincent knew that they should talk, but the way her tongue and warm, sweet lips were moving against his, made it difficult… VERY difficult to think. So even though he wanted to stop… he couldn't. As he felt her fingers disappear in his locks, he deepened the kiss.

He was about to do something. He knew he shouldn't, but he just couldn't contain his feelings for her anymore… And he couldn't resist…

So as Vince, tore his lips from hers for a moment and brought his lips to her ear. He whispered."God! Catherine, I am so in love with you."

Those words send a shiver up and down her spine. Oh, how much did her heart ached to hear those words? At that, Cat grabbed his face and looked him deep in the eyes.

"Vincent Keller, if you don't do something about it. Then I will." She whispered.

This time he picked her up, as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Vince gently pushed her back against the wall, as he kissed her harder and deeper, making her whimper and moan softly.

She dug her fingernails hard onto his shoulders, making him growl from pain and pleasure. At one point, her head began to spin, as he drove her crazy with his touches and caresses. His manly scent was intoxicating, driving her completely wild...

She couldn't help but whimper, as he trailed kisses down her neck.

"God, Catherine!" he said in between kisses.

"Vince, I need you now!" she whispered.

Cat never thought she could want someone as much as she wanted and needed him at this moment. The pace of their kisses quickened, as he walked over to the bathroom counter and placed her on it. She wrapped her legs around him, never wanting to let him go. Ever!

As she pulled him closer to her, she traced his naked back and chest with her fingers. As Cat's hands landed in his hair, she frantically placed love bites on his shoulders and chest.

'God! I hope we don't make his bullet wound worse.' she thought and attempted to be gentle.

Her jacket ended up on the bathroom floor and so did her blouse. Note to self: She had to buy another blouse, cause Vince impatiently ripped it to pieces.

It's like he could read her mind, cause he whispered."Don't worry, I'll buy you a new one."

"Baby…" Vince pleaded, his chest heaving and his breathing very ragged.

"Vincent, please." Cat whimpered.

But suddenly Vincent pulled away, making her look at him with pleading eyes, as her chest heaved heavily. She was so confused!

"Baby, why did you stop?" she asked, her throat closing up.

Vincent took a few steps back and grabbed her jacket from the bathroom floor. As he walked over to her, he handed her the piece of clothing.

"I don't understand…" she whispered, as her eyes welled up.

Vince closed his eyes and shook his head." We can't do this. I can't… We…I… I can't be this selfish… I am sorry, but you have to go. I don't want you to be in danger. There are people… EVIL people and I… I can't risk it. I can't see you get hurt… I won't survive it. I love you too much. Go, Catherine. Please leave. Now…" he pleaded.

At that very moment, Vince swore that he could hear Catherine's heart break into bits and pieces...

Vincent! Aargh!
