I Don't Know You Anymore

Kathryn's eyes fluttered open and looked around the room before finally

remembering where she was. Michael was gone and her memory drifted back to last

night. The feeling of Michael caressing and touching her body brought goosebumps

on Kathryn's body. She inhaled deeply and smelled his scent everywhere. She

pulled off the covers and a knock came at her door. She quickly slid into her

favorite silk robe and opened the door.

"Good morning Kathryn, did you have a good night?" Emma teased.

Kathryn smiled at her good friend. She and Emma met during their

freshman year. They became better friends when they realized they were in the

same sorority house. Emma was from Beverly Hills and what you would call a "

beach blonde" because her hair was so pale that it was almost white and hung

gracefully over her shoulders.

"Michael asked me to tell you that he went out to rent a suit for the party

tonight."

Kathryn's eyes widened as she realized she completely forget about the party.

It was a back to school dance that the sorority hosted annually and consisted of all

the top students at the university. You either had to be rich or really, really smart or

a friend of a sorority member to be invited to attend. Although it was only a college

dance, it was a formal ball where the girls had the chance to show off their evening

gowns and the guys got drunk and couples screwed each other. Last year was very

memorable for Kathryn because she lured a guy upstairs after he got drunk. Her

friends took picture of him tied to the bed completely naked and sent the pictures to

the dean at the university. He was promptly expelled and Kathryn and her friend

laughed for days about the incident because it was purely for fun that they did it.

"Kathryn," Emma rolled here eyes, "Don't tell me you forgot."

"Actually, I did but I bought my dress weeks ago so don't worry," Kathryn

replied, thinking of the gorgeous dress hanging in the very back of the closest.

When she bought out over the summer, she knew to save it for a special occasion.

Now that Michael was here, it was definitely a special occasion.

"Good, I'll see you tonight," and with that said, Emma left.

Kathryn sighed and closed the door. Today was going to be a very busy day.

Sebastian woke up early and moved into his room at the fraternity house. He

truly hated the idea of living in a house four times smaller than his own mansion

with more than fifteen guys but how else was he suppose to spy on Kathryn? He

removed his telescope from one of the boxes and scanned it across the sorority

house. His eye immediately landed on the room where a petite brunette was getting

out of bed. Sebastian knew with one look that it was Kathryn. She was completely

naked and Sebastian got hard looking at her voluptuous body. Well-rounded

shoulders and firm breasts leading to a skinny waist and creamy thighs and calves

were Kathryn's features. Sebastian thought that if he got hard looking at her body,

imagine how he would feel if he was fucking her. He saw her open the door and

speak to a tall and gorgeous blonde. The blonde left and a moment later, he saw the

front door open and she walked out to get the morning paper.

Sebastian quickly left his room and went outside. The girl was just leaving

but stopped when she saw Sebastian. After all, he was wearing a robe that revealed

everything except gray boxers.

"Good morning," Sebastian smiled falsely and turned on his charm.

"Hello," Emma smiled. She wasn't impressed.

"I'm Sebastian and your name is...?" Sebastian walked over and kissed her

hand.

"My name is Emma," Emma smiled sweetly in response. She took her hand

back and walked into the house. Sebastian loved a challenge when he saw one and

Emma was a challenge but Kathryn would always be her first priority. Once he got

her, he would get Emma.

Sebastian went inside and heard two roommates speaking to each other.

"I'm getting drunk tonight and taking Abbey to my parents' home. They just

went out of town and they had a square mirror put in above their bed."

"I'm not taking Melissa anywhere. We're going up to her room after the

party."

"Excuse me, what party?" Sebastian asked.

The two men turned around and came face to face with a curious young man.

"Hey Sebastian, did you get settled in yet?" Greg asked.

"Sure," Sebastian grinned falsely.

"Every year, the Deltas across from us hold an annual formal dance to

celebrate the beginning of the school year. The rules are to get drunk and get

screwed. All of the members who live in this house are invited to attend," Matt, the

other guy piped up.

"I'll be sure to go."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing Kathryn there," Matt said to Greg.

"She really spices things up."

Sebastian stopped in his tracks and turned around. "Any chance you're

talking about Kathryn Merteuil?"

"You know her too? Even though Kathryn is only a sophomore, she holds

more power over the Deltas than the senior president of the sorority. She organized

last year's party."

"Did you hear? Michael, her old boyfriend showed up yesterday. Abby told

me last night. Apparently, he was Kathryn's boyfriend before moving to London or

something."

Sebastian took in this new information with interest. "What did you say his

name was?"

"Michael, Michael Bennington," Matt answered.

Sebastian nodded and went up to his room. When he got there, he picked up

his cell phone and dialed the number he wanted.

"Hey Blaine, I need a favor," he spoke into the phone.

It was 9:00 pm and the dance was in full blast. Everyone was dancing and

yelling in the foyer of the Deltas' house. The music hosted by a hired professional

disc jockey filled the whole house with sound.

Sebastian mingled with everyone and made sure that the magazine was

concealed safely in his inside suit pocket. Blaine had dropped it by right before the

party.

Everyone else was there expect for Kathryn, who had yet to make her

appearance. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and everyone turned to the D.J.

"Ladies and gentleman, give it up for the loveliest woman here tonight, Miss

Kathryn Merteuil."

The crowd burst in applause and cheers as the door leading to the grand

staircase opened and Kathryn stepped out with a tall young man. Their arms were

hooked and it was obvious they were the happiest couple at the party with both of

their genuine grins.

Sebastian looked up and swallowed at the beautiful sight of Kathryn wearing

a Badgely Mischa strapless dark blue silk dress that hugged her body. The crowd

split apart and made a path for Kathryn and Michael. Sebastian stared at Kathryn

and noticed for the first time, she had a real smile on her face and not a fake one.

As Kathryn passed by, her eyes landed on him and her face darkened but she

quickly acted as if nothing had happened.

The evening pass quickly and Sebastian waited for his chance to speak to

Kathryn alone. The opportunity came when he saw Michael walk to the bathroom.

He went to Kathryn's side and pulled her away. He ignored her cries and protests

and dragged her into a random room and shut the door.

"What the hell are you doing Valmont!" Kathryn said angrily rubbing her

sore arm. "I was talking to someone!"

"I thought that this might be more important," Sebastian took the magazine

out and threw it on the bed. Kathryn cautiously picked it up and looked at the cover.

"What are you talking about?" she muttered.

"Turn to page 116 and look for yourself," Sebastian said smartly.

Kathryn fumbled through the pages and landed on a familiar article, "Why I

Plan To Wait," by Annette Hargrove, Kansas City, Kansas.

"Your point is?" Kathryn asked rolling her eyes. This article was nothing

new. She'd seen it before.

"Why don't you read further and see," Sebastian said, awaiting the shock

that was about to come.

Kathryn scanned through the words when suddenly, her eyes fell on words

"Michael Bennington." The article said that Annette was waiting for marriage and

her boyfriend Michael Bennington understood and was waiting patiently for when

she would be ready.

Kathryn's heart sank as she read further. Just as Sebastian was hoping, she

was shocked. She sank onto the bed and dropped the magazine to the floor.

Sebastian stopped smirking as he saw two tear drops rolling down Kathryn's cheeks.

Kathryn sat in stunned silence. So Michael had lied to her? He told her he

came from London and since when did he start falling for hicks like Annette? She

and Annette were very different, from their morals to their looks. Was Michael in

love with her?

Kathryn grabbed the magazine and ran out of the room and down the stairs

and bumped into Michael.

"Hey, where have you been?" he asked.

Kathryn stared at his face while tears ran down her face, "I don't know you

anymore," she muttered and shoved the magazine at him and ran out the door,

leaving the party guests mystified.

Sebastian looked at the scene that just unfolded downstairs. For the first

time that night, he regretted what he did.

This has got to be the longest chapter I've ever written. Please review!
