Chapter 6: Coming Clean
Summary: Sebastian tries to make peace with Kathryn
Sebastian Valmont woke up out of his bed in a very good mood. Now that the "Lisa situation" was finally resolved, he felt that he could try and work things out with Kathryn. He was determined to find out what was behind her mysterious mood shift.
Taking a chance he called Kathryn at her mother's house. If Tiffany answered he would simply hang up. Things were finally going his was Kathryn answered on the second ring.
"Hello Kathryn." Sebastian said simply. He felt there was no reason to identify himself. Kathryn was full aware of his voice.
"What?" Kathryn asked coldly.
Now he knew she would be sort of pissed that he hung up on her, but wasn't it really her fault? " I think we really need to talk." Sebastian said gently.
Kathryn snorted and said snottily " I don't think so.", and slammed the phone down.
Now Sebastian was full aware of Kathryn's narcissistic ways, wasn't this taking thinngs too far? Sebastian sighed to himself and began thinking of ways to get Kathryn to talk to him.
*****************
Kathryn had a lot on her mind and the best was she knew how to clear her head was to go shopping. Armed with her credit cards Kathryn hit Saks intent on clearing out the store. Didn't she owe herself a treat after the shabby way Sebastian treated her?
Just thinking about Sebastian got her mad all over again. Now she knew that pathetic girl Lisa would mean nothing to Sebastian the morning after, but still! If he thought they were gonna be together he could continue his playboy ways he had some serious brain damage. Sure she sort of cut him off without any notice, but didn't he realize the sacerfices she was making to ensure they would maintain their standard of living. Typical Sebastian selfish as usual.
So intent on her browsing the racks she did not notice a certain gentleman come behind her.
"Why even bother with clothes when you look so much better without them.?" A very familiar voice asked.
Kathryn spun around to confront the not very welcome intruder. "What are you doing here?" She demanded in a loud whisper.
"Well isn't this a public place? I came to do some shopping." , Sebastian retorted.
"Leave me alone.", Kathryn demanded through clenched teeth and went to turn her back at him.
Sebastian grabbed her arm to stop her. "Sorry can't do that. Now I think we need to talk." He said very calmly.
Kathryn laughed in his face. "I do not have anything to say to you, so kindly unhand me and get the hell out."
"Kathryn now you know better to think I will leave so easily. Now either come with me quietly or I will make a very loud scene." , Sebastian threatened.
Kathryn narrowed her eyes and debated for a few seconds whether or not to call his bluff. Coming to the conclusion that Sebastian was capeable of anything Kathryn simply nodded her head.
"Good." Sebastian said steering her towards the exit.
"Is there a problem, Miss Merteil?", A saleslady asked who silently witnessed the heated exchange.
Sebastian looked down at Kathryn to see her response. "No." Kathryn said shortly.
As soon as they were outside Kathryn yanked her hand out of Sebastian's grasp. "I really hate you." Kathryn said with venom in her voice.
"Well your no prize either." Sebastian said snidely." Look meet me in the cafe at the corner so we can look and please don't think I will actually let you stand me up."
Kathryn was furious! How dare he order her around? She shoudl blow his sorry ass off! But she knew Sebastian and he would pull a bigger stunt. Kathryn resigned herself to meeting the prick and planned on telling him off but good!
Walking into the cafe she saw Sebastian sitting at a table in the back calmly drinking out of a coffee mug.
"Ok I am here state your case and get the fuck out of my face." Kathryn said plopping herself down.
Waving off a waiter with a menu, Kathryn faced Sebastian with a stony expression.
"What the hell was freezing me out after we came to New York about?" Sebastian asked the question that was on his mind for days.
Now Kathryn did actually feel a teeny bit guilty at first. But that was after she saw him with plain jane looking very cozy.
"Please Sebastian," Kathryn said rolling her eyes. "You recovered quite nicely."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Sebastian asked confused.
Now Kathryn was pissed. Was he going to actually pull his innocent act with her? The very one that created it? This was too much. She let Sebastian get closer to her then anyone in her life.
"I saw you with my own very eyes pulling your casanova act with Lisa "helpless" Stanford!" Kathryn said in a low, but furious voice.
Now wasn't that Sebastian's luck? He was speechless. Now that Kathryn saw him he was stuck. He couldn't lie to her and say he tried to seduce her beacuse he was mad at her. Kathryn wouldn't buy it for a second. If he told her the truth he would have to tell her about the tape. If he did that he might as well cut his own dick off and no questions asked hand it over to her on a platter.So he remained quiet.
"Nothing to say do you?" Kathryn demanded. When she got no answer from Sebastian, she got fed up.
"I thought so." Kathryn said standing up to leave.
Sebastian watched her helplessly get to leave, and he honestly didn't know what to do.
"Sit down Kathryn and I will explain."
"What the hell kind of explanation can you have?" Kathryn demanded.
Sebastian sighed. It was either risk it all or lose him forever. Now he was not a gambling man, but when the stakes are that high did he really have any other choice?
