Revenge is Sweet (Alternate Ending)
The sun bathed down in all of its glory on the magnificent beach that seemed to stretch for miles, it was strange that only one solitary figure donned the beach. In a magnificent two-piece bikini leaving very little to the imagination Katherine Merteuil had her round sunglasses set up on the bridge of her nose and an exotic cocktail in her right hand. She sighed in contentment, this was the life, no worries, no troubles, and enough money to keep her in the high life for another ten years.
Taking a sip from it she smiled and relaxed once again, however just as she was about to drop off to sleep when a shadow covered the sun, "Managing to keep busy I see," Kathryn smiled at his voice.
"I'm just a small, insignificant woman," she purred her eyes opening slowly to look up at Jase who seemed to be frowning playfully, "Earning money is mans work."
"Ahhhh," he grimaced slightly while slumping down into the empty sun lounger beside her, "even if it's an injured man?"
Kathryn shrugged, "One's as good as the other," she shrieked as Jase grabbed the top of her knee and squeezed sending what felt like an electric shock firing up her leg. He released and she scowled at him, "I told you not to do that."
He shrugged, "What can I say…I'm a bastard."
Kathryn nodded, "True! And I'm a bitch," it sounded so matter of factly the way she said it, god Jase adored this woman.
"Ms Jenson?" Kathryn glanced up annoyed at the Thai helper who edged nervously from one foot to the other.
"What is it?" she demanded sternly.
"I have your drink," he leaned down holding the tray out for her so she'd be able to take her drink.
Taking it Kathryn smiled falsely, "Thank you, now get going," Jase watched amused as the helper scurried off; it looked to him like he was about to piss himself in fear, "What're you smiling at?" Kathryn's voice brought him back to reality.
He shook his head, "Nothing," the ex Merteuil eyed him suspiciously, "What?"
"I don't know, you tell me," he held out his hands in a fake sign of mercy, knowing he was up to something Kathryn went to take a sip from her drink when noticed something. A small card was wedged inside, removing it she could only just make out the letters that were slightly smudged from the red liquid.
MARRY ME! It was direct and to the point, he had learnt a lot since she'd started tutoring him.
She looked at her boyfriend who was busy lighting a cigarette and not paying her any attention, "Jase?"
"Hmm," he replied while trying to get his lighter to work, eventually he did and sighed in contentment.
"Is this yours," he looked over at the card.
"Mm hmm," he still didn't seem too bothered, but Kathryn knew that beneath those shades and calm exterior his heart was beating a mile a minute.
"You think we should get married?"
He exhaled a billowing cloud of smoke and turned to face her, "Why not?" he smiled confidently.
"You think we'd be a good couple…marriage whys?"
He snorted, "I'll be fucked if I know, knowing us we'd be the husband and wife from hell," then suddenly his voice turned softer, "But…if you do agree to marry me then I promise I'll never hurt you. I won't let anyone hurt you."
Kathryn swallowed, suddenly it seemed too hot out here, she avoided his gaze, "I know you've heard those words before," he whispered gently, placing his hand on top of hers, "But I'm not Sebastian. And I think that I'm falling in love with you anyways so…" he paused, "I don't know, maybe it was a stupid idea."
"It is," Kathryn whispered turning back to face him, he looked calm again but she could he was crushed, "But if you're willing to give it a shot then I'm willing," his mouth curved into a smile.
"You really are a bitch," he leaned in and kissed her deeply.
"Thank you," Kathryn whispered, before stopping, "Mrs Kathryn Matthews," her face scrunched up, "Uh."
"Kathryn," her eyes turned to look at him, "shut up," he leaned in to kiss her again and this time she accepted. He deserved a minor victory, slowly his hands ran through her hair and she smiled, "What?"
"Can you imagine what would happen if we ever had kids, it'd be the end of existence as we know it," Jase chuckled softly.
"Only if we taught them well," Kathryn smiled and it was at that moment that she realized that she'd never been happier. It really was true what they said…
Revenge is Sweet.
