Kathryn woke up with a tired moan the next morning when Mai Li put down a tray with breakfast next to her bed. Before she had time to tell the little woman off Mai Li explained.

"Your brother told me to make sure you had breakfast. He said he was stepping out for a while but that he wanted to talk when he comes home."

Kathryn frowned a little and waved dismissing at Mai Li.

"Leave me." She demanded.

"But..." Mai Li glanced at the tray and Kathryn glared at her.

"I said LEAVE." She snapped and Mai Li folded her hands in front of her and nodded before leaving the room.

Kathryn moaned again and flung her legs over the bedside. She ran her hand through her hair and then realised that she was naked.

"Best for him that it was Blaine." She muttered thinking of Sebastian. She pulled on a robe and threw a disgusted glance at the breakfast tray. Her face expression brightened when she saw the two little white pills. Her valiums.

She took them and swallowed them with a zip of the orange juice from the tray.

As the calm spread within her she walked up to her closet to get dressed.

She had no plan to be home when Sebastian came back. Them 'talk' that could not be good in anyway. Also she needed to think.

There was something that was bothering her about Sebastian. She had a bad feeling about the fact that he'd blown off sex with a pretty girl just to sleep next to her.

That made it seem like he was...in love.

But she knew he wasn't. The thought was ridicules. Sebastian in love with her - stupid. Still it gave her a nauseous sort of feeling.

She got dressed and applied some make up quickly. She felt much better to day, the other day had been a living nightmare.

Lucky her Sebastian had been there to save her from it.

'Stop thinking about him' She told herself in her head. When she was dressed and ready she grabbed a purse and left the house with a head full of serious thoughts.

*******'

Kathryn didn't come home until late that night and it was of no surprised of hers to find Sebastian waiting for her in her room.

"Hello dear brother." She said calm. She'd thought things over long and hard and she had reached a decision.

He looked at her with a little annoyance in his eyes and took the cigarette from his mouth and blew out some smoke.

"I figured you'd disappear when Mai Li gave you my message."

Kathryn shrugged a little and threw her purse on her bed along with her jacket.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I needed some air and I stepped out."

Sebastian laughed scornfully. "Yeah, and your mom's a virgin." He put out his cigarette and stood up. "I think you know why I'm here."

Kathryn played stupid. "No, tell me."

He smiled widely and walked closer to her. When he was close enough he put his hand on her shoulder and let his fingers slide down her arm.

She followed his fingers with her eyes and felt the tension grow between them. Then she lifted her eyes and looked into his.

"I'm here to...collect." He said soft and his mouth started to search it's way to hers. But right before their lips met she pulled away and he sighed.

"Collect what?" She asked teaseful and walked away from him and up to her desk and lighted a cigarette.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and then turned around to face her again.

"Don't try and pull this shit. You know what I want." He said snappy and she grinned lifting her eyebrows slightly.

"Oh, I know what you want ...but why would I give it to you?"

Sebastian frowned a little. "Excuse me?"

Kathryn looked innocent and smiled. "Why would I give it to you?" She repeated.

"Who was it that saved your life yesterday?"

"Oh don't be so overdramatic. It's not like it was an overdose. Just a little headache." She shrugged dismissing at the matter and Sebastian's eyes got bigger like he couldn't believe what she was saying.

"Are you kidding me?"

She shook her head. "No." She said sweet and simple but still it gave him the urge to strangle her.

He breathed hard and had to count to ten before he could continue. "I broke into the school and drugged the school nurse to get you those stupid pills - don't come bullshit me like I haven't done anything for you!"

Kathryn looked indifferent leaning against the desk with a cigarette in her hand. Sebastian was furious at her but he still couldn't help but noticing her bare legs and how sexy she looked standing like that - it made it hard for him to keep his thoughts straight.

"Don't get me wrong Sebastian, I'm very grateful." She walked up to him with a grin on her face. "But I never asked you, I don't owe you anything,"

"What?"

"You did it free will, no demands made...I don't owe you anything." She repeated the last pleased with herself and saw how his jaws got tense. She loved it; it made him look so masculine and sexy.

'Keep it cool' She told herself and kept staring into his angered eyes.

He took another step at her and grabbed her wrist. "Don't be such a bitch Kathryn, I can see that you want it too."

She dropped her cigarette and looked at it on the carpet.

"Look what you made me do."

Sebastian threw a glance at it and then stepped on it so that it stopped burning. Kathryn giggled a little. She didn't protest to him still holding her wrists in a tight grip.

They stared at each other and then Kathryn pulled free and walked over to her door and opened it for him.

"I think you should leave Sebastian. I'm expecting company."

Sebastian grinned at her. "By who? Is it dear Court begging you to take him back? Or is it you begging him to take you back."

Kathryn's face expression turned dark. "I don't beg."

Sebastian laughed. "You are truly one sad being Kat, you know that?"

Kathryn squinted at him. "And you are pathetic so don't come here and try and pretend that you are better then me...you're not."

Sebastian shrugged as he walked towards the door. "At least I'm not a slut." He said when he was right next to her. She slapped him hard and he closed his eyes. He didn't know who was hurting the most - him or her.

"Bitch." He muttered.

"Get out." She looked down on her feet for a couple of seconds and then stared into his eyes. "You're nothing to me Sebastian, now leave me alone...I need to get ready."

Sebastian felt the anger rise within him and had to look away from her for a couple of seconds. He couldn't even stand her right now.

He leaned closer and forced himself to look into her eyes. He put his hands on her sweater and ripped it so that he bra became visible. Kathryn looked down shocked and Sebastian tilted his head.

"There, ready." He said and left her.

Kathryn glared after him and then closed the door and leaned towards it with sigh. She had to push him away. She simply had to.
