Summary: Sebastian continues to battle with Kathryn but then thinks of a plan to beat her at her own game.
Chapter 2: A Devious Plot
After saying good night to Annette Sebastian headed home thinking about how the evening didn't go exactly as planned. It had been nice and everything, a romantic dinner for two with dancing. However the whole night the only thing Sebastian could think about was Kathryn and how to pay her back. Annette had picked up on how distracted he was and suggested they call it a night. All of this made Sebastian feel like shit because once again Kathryn was coming between them only this time he was letting her.
With a heavy sigh he headed into the house hoping against hope that Kathryn would be out for the night. The house seemed quiet enough as he entered so he thought he was home free. Then as he got to his door he could hear moans and heavy breathing coming from the other side. Sebastian burst into the room and was disgusted to find Kathryn half dressed ridding some idiot on his bed. "What the fuck?"
Kathryn spun around mid gallop with a sneaky smile "oh you're home. I thought you wouldn't be back till later."
It was taking all his self control not to charge over there and drag her out but he had a feeling that's what she wanted. With as much restraint as he could muster Sebastian asked through clenched teeth "what are you doing in here Kathryn?"
She shrugged "Mai Lie was cleaning my room. I didn't think you would mind."
Bullshit he wanted to scream at her. This was just another way for her to stick it to him and she knew it. Glaring at the guy under her who Sebastian recognized as the captain of the lacrosse team, he ordered "out now!"
Calmly Kathryn dismounted him and the jock hurriedly pulled his pants back up. Giving Sebastian a slightly embarrassed look he muttered "sorry about this. Umm see you later Kathryn."
"Sure" she said with a wave. When the door closed behind him she rolled her eyes and finished "but not in this lifetime loser." She sighed "what a hopeless waste of space."
Sebastian shook his head in disgust as he walked over to his desk. "Yeah well thanks to you and that waste of space I'm now going to have to burn all my bedding and possibly the bed."
"Don't be so dramatic Sebastian. You know in fact I seem to recall you doing the same thing to me a couple of months ago. That was of course before your little girlfriend had you neutered."
He was in absolutely no mood for her crap at the moment. "Get out" her demanded coldly.
Not the least fazed by his tone she reclined back on his bed still dressed in only her underwear and said "not yet. I'm curious how exactly you managed to get the virgin to forgive you. Something pathetic like flowers and candy or just a whole lot of begging?
Sebastian smiled as he admitted "I gave her my journal."
Kathryn's eyes went wide in astonishment and she laughed "you're shitting me. You gave it to her? What a loser!"
His smile fell and he scowled at her "it worked didn't it?"
"All that time and energy spent keeping that so called bible of your conquests and you hand it over to her. Good god why? Is she supposed to be impressed that you banged ten seniors on prom night?"
"No but she did get a whole lot of info on you."
Sitting up immediately her smile fell "what are you talking about? What did you tell her?"
Sebastian walked over to the bed and looked down at her with amusement. Letting his hand cup her chin he forced her head up and said "everything. Every dirty detail of your miserable life. She knows it all and now despises you as much as me."
Kathryn yanked her face away "and what the hell is that suppose to accomplish?"
He shrugged "well for starters it proves this whole bet wasn't all my idea. I thought I should be honest with her about everything including my twisted relationship with you."
"What is she going to do with it?" she asked eyeing him closely.
"Scared?"
Kathryn laughed "please. Even if she knew every last detail about me that little hick couldn't touch me and you know it." Slowly she stood "and even if she tried do you really think she would get out of it alive? You turned on me and look at what I did to you. What do you think I would do to her?"
Sebastian stood closer to her and whispered menacingly "don't. If you even so much as think of doing something to hurt her Kathryn-"
"You'll what? Christ Sebastian this so called love you feel for her hasn't only made you soft it's made you stupid. You can't touch me, you never could."
He almost smiled as he said "don't you get it Kathryn I am done with you. I have had it with the mind games and all your bullshit. I love Annette and she loves me and that sis is something you will never have."
In that moment something flickered briefly across Kathryn's face. The coldness subsided and something else appeared that Sebastian couldn't quite figure out. He thought it might of been hurt but then it vanished as quickly as it appeared. Head held high she spat back "thank god. You're a fool Sebastian if you think what you have going with Annette is anything other than a brief infatuation. There is no such thing as true love, soul mates and all that other crap. One day you'll realize it and when you do I hope to god I'm there to see it!"
Suddenly Sebastian grabbed her by the arm wanting to squeeze the life out of her. Kathryn wasn't frightened in the slightest she only looked up at him as if waiting for him to explode. Instead however he whispered "get the fuck out."
She pulled away with a cold grin "gladly."
Kathryn walked out and as she closed the door behind her Sebastian picked up a paper weight resting on his desk and chucked it across the room. That god damn bitch! He was so sick of her and her attitude. She didn't know the first thing about him or anything else for that matter. He was furious with her but also at himself for believing all that time that she was the only women who could ever measure up to his expectations. What a fucking joke! In that instant he hated her more than ever and vowed to get her back once and for all.
Pacing furiously across the room he wracked his brain trying to think of a solution. Christ there had to be something he could do to her, something so painful that she would never again think twice about crossing him. Everything he came up with seemed either too lame or not harsh enough. Sebastian wanted to destroy her reputation but what he wanted most was to make her feel the worst kind of pain possible.
After awhile he collapsed back on his bed thinking about what Kathryn just said to him. There is no such thing as true love. He wondered if she really believed that. As far as he knew Kathryn never really felt anything towards the guys she fucked and used. Once upon a time he thought she cared about him possibly even loved him but then...well, obviously he was wrong. Too bad she was to full of ice to ever feel anything. Kathryn could never love anyone...
It was in that instant that the most devious, diabolical idea came to him. That was it. That was how he would destroy her. Getting up quickly he rushed out the door to see Annette.
* * * * * *
"No! No way Sebastian, are you crazy?" Annette exclaimed. "Do you really expect me to go along with this?"
"Look Annette I know it sound crazy-"
"Sounds crazy?" She interrupted him "it is crazy. You want me to give you my blessing to date Kathryn."
"Not date her just..."
"Get her to fall in love with you" Annette finished for him shaking her head. "Sebastian I know you want to get her back and keep her away from us but this...it would never work. I mean you said it yourself Kathryn doesn't believe in love."
"Yes and that's why it's the perfect plan" he explained. It really was if he did say so himself. When he recalled Kathryn's little rant about what crap love was it occurred to him that was the key he had been looking for. If he really wanted to hurt Kathryn he wouldn't just destroy her reputation he would destroy her heart. Assuming of course she had one. "I'll get her to fall for me, hard. Don't you see it will betray everything the ice queen stands for and when she finds out it was all a lie, that I really hate her guts-"
"She'll he a hundred times as angry and vindictive. It will just make it worse."
"No" he told her as he walked over the window and looked out at the night sky. "No it will destroy her. When I'm done with her there will be nothing left. She'll never trust or love anyone ever again." Annette was quiet for a moment and when Sebastian turned around he found her studying him. "What?"
"You really hate her don't you?"
"Of course. Why do you think I want to do this so badly?"
She shook her head "she really hurt you. I never noticed it before..."
"She hurt both of us" he told her as he walked back over to her. "And she'll continue to hurt us unless we do something to put a stop to it."
Annette sighed as she sat down on her bed "why do you have to do this? Don't you have a friend who could or maybe we could pay someone."
Sebastian had thought of this on the drive over to Annette's. While he did know a few guys who would be more than willing to hurt Kathryn none of them had the finesse that he had. They might be able to charm there way in to some idiot debutante's panties but dealing with Kathryn was a whole other ball game. Sebastian knew he was possibly the only person alive who could get to Kathryn.
Besides all that, he wanted the satisfaction of hurting her himself. If he allowed someone else to do destroy her it would be so less personal and thus not as satisfying. Sebastian wanted the pleasure of watching her face when she realized her mistake in trusting him. He would show her just what her 'toy' was capable of. "Annette it has to be me. No one else is equipped to deal with her. I know all her secrets remember. And I plan on using every one of them to destroy her." Sebastian looked down at Annette's doubtful face and realized she still wasn't convinced. "You trust me don't you."
She didn't answer right away, she hesitated. It hurt him more than he liked that she hesitated. No matter what she said he knew she still didn't fully trust him. Smiling slightly she said "yeah I trust you. It's just...will you sleep with her?"
"No of course not. Sex has nothing to do with this." Strange he hadn't thought about that aspect of the plan all night. It would be an obstacle to get Kathryn to fall in love with him without bringing sex into the equation but he was sure he could get around it.
Annette scoffed "I thought sex had everything to do with it. I mean wasn't your whole bet based on it, you getting Kathryn into bed?"
He shrugged "look I can do this without sleeping with her...but you still don't believe me do you?"
"Sebastian" she sighed. Suddenly he got an idea and went over to her desk searching threw drawers. "What are you doing?"
After finding a legal pad and a pen Sebastian pulled up a seat next to her. "Look Annette you have every reason not to trust me as far as Kathryn is concerned so we'll draw up a contract."
Annette laughed "what? You want to make it legal that you won't sleep with Kathryn? I think that's a little excessive."
He nodded with a smile "maybe but I'm serious. We'll write out the whole arrangement starting with I will not have any sexual contact with Kathryn of any nature." After writing it out he asked her "what else?"
Looking at him somewhat perplexed she said "umm I don't know. How about a deadline?"
"Ok here's what I was thinking. I'll get Kathryn to agree to go away with me and then have her announce it to our parents, no wait the whole society crowd." Sebastian thought of it a moment before writing the rest out. Annette looked up at him expectantly. "All right next month my parents are celebrating their wedding anniversary and Tiffani is planning this huge party. I'll get Kathryn to announce to everyone that we are in love and leaving town together. Then I'll tell everyone that I am madly in love with you and she'll be heartbroken and humiliated."
"So much that she'll leave town. Maybe this could work after all. That is of course if you can pull it off in less than a month. That's not much time. Then again you got me to fall for you in a couple of weeks" she smiled.
"Then you agree that this plan is genius?"
"I don't know if I would say that. I'm not thrilled with you spending all that time with her. I mean what if she-"
"She won't" he assured her not needing her to finish the thought. "Trust me Kathryn could never make me feel anything towards her and to prove it I'm going to sign this." At the end of the page Sebastian signed his name and then handed it over to her. "So what do you say, do you trust me?"
Annette looked down at the contract in front of her then back at Sebastian. After a moment she signed her name under his. Looking up at him with complete devotion she told him "yes I do. I love you Sebastian more than I ever thought I could. I couldn't stand for anything to come between us."
Getting up from his seat he sat down nest to her as Annette let her head rest on his shoulder. "Nothing ever will I promise you." Sebastian looked down at the contract and smiled "I love you Annette and nothing and no one will ever change that."
