A/n- I am soooooo super sorry for the wait. My Internet router stopped working so I had to get a new one and on top of that had to finish my exams. Yikes, I hope some people are still reading this! I think this will be the last chapter so if you have any other ideas I'm willing to listen to them. It isn't the best ending but I just can't do ending so it is what it is. Enjoy.

"What happened? Are you alright?" A beautiful red haired woman asked pulling him into her house.
"I'm sorry did I come at a bad time? I'll leave." Warrick didn't know why he went to Catherine's house but he wanted to see her.
"Please don't! I want to talk. You can trust me Warrick. I'm your…friend." She hesitated. She was his friend but she still loved him.
"Catherine…I…she did it again!" He cried and turned his back to her. She knew he needed space but she wanted to help she put her arms on his shoulders and gently pushed him on the couch so he was facing her. She looked into his green eyes that were full of hurting tears. Her hands were still on his shoulders and they began to slide down his arms. She knew she should stop so she clasped her hands together in front of her and said,
"Warrick, you don't know how sorry I am. I would have never wished this to happen to you. I am truly very sorry. Is there anything you want me to do for you?"
"Catherine, just being here means more than you know." He took her hands in his and locked eyes. "She said it was over. She's going to leave me…and I feel like a bad person because…"
"You don't have to feel bad honey. You didn't do anything wrong. She was the one that cheated. Twice even. None of this was your fault. She…" she interrupted.
"Please let me finish." He put one finger over her lips. She felt shivers running up her back.
"I feel like a bad person because I don't really feel anything. I feel like I've been living a lie. Like I have been using her to replace…" he paused and looked away.
"You can tell me. I'm right here for you."
"I feel like I have been using her to replace…you." He didn't look at her, just stood and walked to the window.
Catherine was stunned. He just admitted he loves her. He really does love her. She was so happy Tina was out of the picture and that he loved her but she felt horrible as well. Yes he does love Catherine but his wife, his supposed to be love of his life was cheating on him. How could he learn to trust anyone now? Tina had ripped out his heart and abused his trust. She took a few steps towards him but stopped. She hoped the silence would be broken.
"I'm sorry." He whispered. She wondered why he was sorry. It was her fault. She was still flirting with him when he was married. She was still in love and showing it. That's why he couldn't love Tina, because Catherine, she, was acting like a tease. She felt horrible now knowing it was all her fault.
"For what? You didn't do anything." She gave up. She sounded so quiet and calm when all she wanted was him. How was this going to work now? His heart was broken because of her. He was broken and Catherine wanted to be there and fix him. Be with him all through it, if he would let her now. He didn't say anything.
"This was really my fault." Catherine began to cry.
"I ruined your life. All this is my fault. I knew you were married and still loved you. I still flirted with you. I was such a god- dammed tease. I pulled you away from Tina." She was crying like no tomorrow. And sprung off the couch and waked away putting her back to him.
Warrick was mad. Mad that Catherine had to blame herself for his problems. Mad that he had to watch a beautiful woman stand alone trying to cover up the tears. It was too much for him to hurt someone else. He was not going to let it happen. He quickly jumped up and sped to her side. He took his strong arms and pulled her little figure into his chest. She stiffened up for a while but she sunk into him when he caressed her back. She shook her head in his chest crying,
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me. I'm sorry!"
He tilted her head up to face his only inches apart and looked into her puffy eyes.
"Catherine, listen to me and listen hard. Anything that happened or happens between Tina and I is not your fault. It was my choice to marry her and her choice to cheat on me. Just because I still love you does not make any of this your fault." They stared at each other for a long while and Catherine managed to calm down a little. She still had one burning question left and she didn't know how to ask it.
"What's going to happen now Warr?" She got no answer so she tried again. "Warrick, what's going to happen now? I mean all of this, well, it's a lot and I can understand if you don't want to…"
"Oh shut up." He cut her off by brining her lips into contact with his. He pushed her against the wall and pushed his body against hers. Catherine sucked in a breath to refrain from crying again. He did still love her. Their lips separated after a long while but the distance between them stayed the same. Catherine could feel Warrick's hot breath on her and he felt the same. They stayed close to each other and never broke eye contact.
"You are so beautiful. I love you." Warrick whispered against her lips.
"I lo…" once again she was cut off by his lips on her again. He didn't need her to say anything to him. He loved her and he knew she loved him and that's all he needed.
TBC….? I think I should leave it. What do you guys think? Only one way to tell me. SUBMIT REVIEW
