Catherine's POV
The stress of work and Lindsey are starting to take its toll on me. Lindsey is constantly in a bad mood ever since Eddie's death. Working over time is killing me, I'm barely getting any sleep with all the nightmares that come to haunt me. At the moment I'm chilling out in a quiet bar with people singing. Most of the people aren't that bad actually. It's peaceful hear, no one talks about one another or anything. I like it.
In the corner of the bar I see a familiar figure standing with a beer in their hands. The long legs instantly tell me that it's Sara. I want to talk to her but I don't think that's ever going to happen. We work well together and that's about it. Never talking about personal interests. On occasions she will ask about Lindsey when I'm having a bad day and that honestly cheers me up.
When I look back to where she was she's no longer there but is up by the computer setting up something. I've herd her sing before and she sings beautifully, she holds so much emotion in her voice that it would even make a cocky teenager cry. I don't think she has seen me yet and I'm thankful for that, It's not that I don't want to talk to her, I just want to hear her sing. She's standing on the small stage and she doesn't the slightest bit nervous. I think she does this quite often.
Guarding yourself from the love of another
Left you with nothing tonight
Why does it sound like the devil is laughing
Leaving me haunted tonight
You did decide
Her voice is like an angels voice to me, when I truly listen to her words it reminds of the pain I've gone through and at the same time it soothes me. When she's singing her face reads off the pain she's had to go through too. A while back I over herd Greg talking to Nick and I herd that Sara had been beaten by her parents when she was younger. At the time I was thinking yeah right but now when I see the pain on her face it all makes sense. That's the reason she keeps everyone at arms length. That's why she hates physical contact. That's why she gets upset over abuse cases.
Now I want you, when you're gone, and now it's like
You're holding something just in front of me
Well then, I can't allow this to become another
One of those times that I'm left in the cold, dead
There's no compromise
Just another tie
I know I need to sever
When I look up at her she sees me but she keep singing. Gracefulness and Power is what she's reminding of right now and I see that she has put her shoulders up. I've read about this kind of thing, some people will do that so they feel protected from other people.
Guarding yourself from the love of another
Left you with nothing tonight
Why does it sound like the devil is laughing
Leaving me haunted tonight
You did decide
Ever haunted, by the trappings of this life
Sweet redemption, just in front of me
Well now, it seems once again that I've lost another
One of the one's that have broke through the wall
Damned
Fate won't compromise
I have sold my soul,
And now the devil's laughing
You did decide
The beer resting in front of me no longer looks interesting to me but the person on the stage does. When I look around the people that are in here are watching her with understanding of her song and I see some younger girls having dreamy looks on their faces. Come to think of it most of the people in here are women. There are a few guys in here but mostly women.
You were bold and strong, and ready to begin your life
All for nothing, you were sacrificed
You began alone, and so it will be when you die
All for nothing, will you be remembered?
You did decide
Guarding yourself from the love of another
Left you with nothing tonight
So now you know why the devil is laughing
He left you with nothing tonight
You did decide
When her song ends the entire bar is clapping and cheering and I can't but smile as she blushes and walks off stage. The girls that were staring at her dreamily are walking up to her and I feel jealous, I shouldn't be jealous she just a coworker isn't she? I look back over to her and she's talking to the two women and my blood's boiling now. I want to rush over their and claim her as mine.
She looks like she's having a good time but I'm still angry. The next thing I know my legs are carrying me over to her. Before I can turn myself around me mouth is moving. "Excuse me ladies but she's mine." Sara looks up at me with confusion and the women sigh and walk away. "What do you mean I'm yours?" She doesn't sound too angry but she sounds mostly confused.
"I, uh, I'm not sure. Sorry before I knew what I was doing I walked over here." I apologize and to my surprise she nods her head. "I'm actually glad you did, those two have been hitting on me for the past month." Well she's opening up to me that's a good thing. "So what are you doing here?" I hear her ask me. Her voice is calm and gentle and her eyes read the same. "Just having a bad day." She nods her head and her next question surprises me, "Lindsey going through that leave me alone stage?" I nod and sit next to her on the stool and she turns to face me. I can feel her eyes on me and I like it. It feels like she's undressing me with her eyes.
"You sang beautifully." I say to her watching as her eyes look into mine. "Thanks." She has a slight blush to her cheeks and I know she's embarrassed. "So what have you been up to lately?" I ask her. I want to know more about her. "Nothing really. Hanging out at some quiet bars, that's just about it." She laughs when she says this and the sound of her laughing has got me hooked. I laugh with her and realize just how truly beautiful she looks.
"Want to dance?" I'm blushing at this but can't refuse her offer. She gets up and takes my leading me to the dance floor where various couples are dancing to the slow music. A slow song has just come up and she rests her hands on my waist and pulls us closer together. I think I just died and went to heaven. I wrap my arms around her neck and she gently smiles down at me. Her hands are strong and I can feel the heat from her hand burning through the material of my pants. We're slowly moving together and I lean my on her shoulder and find it is a perfect fit. I feel safe in her arms, all the pain that I have been feeling is gone. I just want to stay in her arms forever. Maybe I'll have her tonight.
