Deny Me Author: Ashley K. Disclaimer: Nope, still don't own them. AN: This is the sequel of 'Making An Intention.' The character, Monique, I first introduced there will be used, a lot, in this fic.

Kathryn:

Phase one of my plan is complete.

My life is harder without Sebastian, however, once I'm through with them, he will be back.

I guarantee it.

Part Two:

"What the hell were you thinking?" Sebastian angrily asked Annette. "Do you know what she's capable of?"

Tears welled in Annette's eyes; he had never had taken that tone of voice with her. "I-I thought."

"You didn't think, Annette. And that's the fucking problem!" Sebastian paced his room. Sitting down on his bed, heavily, he sighed. Suddenly he straightened. "Shit."

"What is it?" Annette asked, worry crossing her features.

"I never told her I wanted all copies of the tape," Sebastian said, wonder coloring his voice. "I cannot believe I was so stupid!"

"She wouldn't.?" Annette looked at Sebastian.

"She would."

"Lance?" Kathryn spoke into the phone. "It's me. Kathryn. I have something you will *love.* Uh-huh. I'll drop it off in an hour."

Without another word, she dropped the phone in the cradle, smirking softly. With a start, she noticed Sebastian standing in her doorway. "What do you want now?"

"I want that copy. And I want anything else," Sebastian demanded, his features blank.

Rolling her eyes, Kathryn stood. "Do you honestly think I give a fuck what, or who, you proclaim to love? Sebastian, I know you. And I know how much your declarations of love mean. I'm through with you."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sebastian asked.

"Come off it, Sebastian!" Kathryn exclaimed. "Your little school girl saved the letter you gave her, with the journal. I'm nothing but a bitchy alcoholic. You are nothing but a weakling. A loser."

"You try to play so mean, Kathryn, but the first sign of rejection you run and hide. Lock yourself away in the Ice Princess."

"At least I don't deny who I am. You on the other hand, do," Kathryn hissed. "Fuck you, Sebastian. Leave me alone."

"You do the same."

With that Sebastian left the room.

If he would have turned, he would have seen the tears he wanted to. But he didn't.

"Yeah, everything is fine, Annette," Sebastian said into the phone. "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Love you, too."

"Well that was disgusting," Kathryn stated, walking through Sebastian's room, as if she owned the place.

"What the fuck do you want?"

"I can't say good-bye to my favorite brother?" Kathryn innocently asked.

"What's going on.?" Sebastian warily asked.

"You don't know?" Kathryn said, smiling beatifically. "My aunt Monique has invited me to spend the year with her. Mother and I both agree that it will be beneficial to me. I'm leaving in the morning."

Crossing the small distance to Sebastian, Kathryn stopped when she was less than a foot away from him. Biting her lip, she looked up at him through heavy eyelashes. With a slow, deliberate move, she placed her hand on Sebastian's thigh. Moving slowly, she went to kiss him. She watched him the entire time.

Sebastian closed his eyes, knowing he should push her away, but couldn't. Instead he moved towards her.

And met up with air.

"Good-bye Sebastian," Kathryn said from the door.

Kathryn:

Moving to France is phase two of my plan.

You'll see why.
