Hey to all you who have been reviewing my story, you guys rock!

Ch 16

Cat couldn't believe what she had just done. She kissed James, did she love him? She had a billion questions racing through her mind and right now she could care less about Tavington. She decided to just go to the office and put a big line down the middle declaring her half. She was scanning the landscape when she spotted two people having a picnic out in the garden.

' How sweet.' She thought thinking back to James and the feel of his lips against her's.

Then she heard that familiar giggle and saw a red uniform, and suddenly she realized who the happy couple was.

" Beth you idiot!" she hissed.

O'Hara was currently feeding grapes to Elizabeth as if she was some animal at the zoo; She ate one and giggled again before playfully tackling him on the grass.

" Eww." Was all Cat could say.

She turned away before riding Andromeda back to the stables and walking back inside. She had know idea where the darn office was so she decided just to go back to her room and finish her job later.

She picked out a gown to wear to for her date with James; it was green with purple flowers and lace like sleeves.

" It's perfect!" She sighed.

She felt up in the clouds, would he love her too? And if so where would it take her?

She fell back on her bed and fell into a strange dream.

" Cat wake up! Why aren't you ready you promised to come to the wedding!" Elizabeth said.

Cat looked up at her friend confused, She was in a blue dress and Elizabeth was wearing a beautiful wedding gown.

" What's going on?" Cat asked.

" The wedding, come on!" Beth said dragging her down the hill to the riverside.

The wedding had already begun and the groom stood waiting for his bride.

Cat stopped for a moment and then realized that the figure looked familiar.

" Elizabeth are you ready?" He asked turning around.

" Ja-James?" Cat asked shocked.

" Oh hello Catherine." He said darkly.

" What's going on?" She demanded.

" Our wedding of course!" Elizabeth said as James held her hand and slipped his other arm around her waist.

" Your wedding?" Cat asked.

" Well it certainly isn't yours, you had yours three months ago!" James frowned.

" What do you mean I'm-" But she was cut off before she could finish.

" Married to me." A familiar voice said.

Cat whipped around to see O'Hara standing behind her.

" What! No!" She exclaimed.

" Of course, now don't get to excited you wouldn't want to harm the baby." Charles said putting a hand on her shoulder.

" Let me go!" She screamed.

" Catherine, darling." He said.

" No!"

Cat woke up soaked in sweat. She whipped her head around looking for any evidence of the dream in her room before wrapping her arms around herself. She felt cold and alone, when James was near she felt safe and warm, Tavington could never give that to her.

Suddenly a sharp knock sounded at the door. Hesitantly she rose to open it and found herself face to face with Tavington.

" Well! Where were you!" He snapped.

" I was-" She started.

" It's been three hours! Bordon and I have been searching every where for you!" he hissed.

" Sorry." She said.

" You better damn well be sorry!" He snapped.

" Well I could do it now' she offered.

" No you'll come in after dinner, right now your James is worried sick" Tavington sneered.

" Fine! Where is he?" she asked impatiently.

" His room,"

Cat didn't wait to hear more she merely hurried to the location James had told her earlier at the drills, hoping that it was the right room. She knocked on the door and heard quick footsteps to the door.

James opened it and a look of relief and surprised crossed his face.

" Catherine, My God! We had no idea where you ran off to!" He sighed embracing her, unaware of his actions.

Cat simply threw her arms around his neck as if out of habit, and took a deep breath. As if remembering propriety he quickly let go of her and stepped back.

" Well, your safe that's all that matters to Me." he said his tongue slipping.

Cat caught it and corrected him.

" You?" She asked.

James bit his lip and turned around silently cursing himself.

" There's no hiding it, Catherine, I'm falling in love with you." He said.

Okay, I know that was an abrupt ending for the chapter,but I want to know what you think.
