Previously on ´Lawyer Chandler´:

She came out of her room and when we both heard the knocks on the door, she smiled widely.

„Who...?"

She opened the door:" Evan!"

Ok, this was going to be interesting.

Chapter 13

When I opened the door a familiar face greeted me, smiling widely.

„Heeeeeey!" My voice was higher than usual and cheerful.

„So good to see you!" I squealed a little and totally meant what I had said. With Tess on vacation and my sister in Miami, I was glad to have some company other than Vincent.

Without asking him for further permission, I opened the door for Evan to step in and he hugged me tightly. Ohh god, he smelled soooo good.

His hair was shorter now and he looked even more handsome then he did last time, if this was even possible.

He let go of me and the frown on Vincent's face was not to stay unrecognized.

Evan missed the tension between Vincent and me or decided to ignore it for the moment.

„Vincent, meet Evan! We know each other since kindergarden."

Vincent shook Evans hand reluctantly.

Evan naturally pulled me closer. I didn´t mind and Evan was an actual friends but: if Vincent wanted that, why not give him something to see.

„Evan, why don´t you stay over for dinner? We have so much to talk about."

And with an obvious glare to Vincent:" Of coarse only if you are ok with that!"

„Sure!" His answer was as short as it could possibly be and I could see that he tried to be polite but his eyes betrayed him. ´Friends!`I huffed inwardly but it also made me unbelievably happy to see that reaction.

Maybe we had a chance, maybe we just needed to talk. The situation with Tori did bother me, more than I wanted to admit but he said, that she kissed him, right?

To my own surprise Vincent´s kitchen allowed us to prepare a simple but decent meal for dinner.

While Vincent and Evan tested their small talk qualities on each other, I did most of the work and after 20 minutes I interrupted their awkward conversation.

Much to my chagrin Evan started the ´interesting´ questions when we started eating.

„Are you two dating?" he asked directly. Besides Tess he was the only person, who I didn´t mind to ask that question.

Vincent choked on his water and looked at me. All I gave him was a small smile and a nod; he would have to answer this question.

„N-No-No,Not at all!" he spoke to fast and stammered the word ´No´ more than said it.

„We just..., she... we´re friends!" his voice seemed to be at least on octave higher at the last word.

I turned to Evan and smiled, while Vincent desperately searched for a question to ask and draw the attention away from him.

„Well, how did you meet?" he asked.

„My dearest Cat and I grew up together." His british accent was charming and sexy but not even half as interesting as the mix of a faked smile and suppressed jealousy on Vincent's Face.

I giggled and answered:" Yeah, we have quite some history together, Evannis!" That had been his nickname at school and since his mother totally loved it, I never really stopped using it.

By the time Vincent had clinked himself out of the conversation whereas I enjoyed how easy it was to talk to Evan.

"You aren´t playing fair, Kitty cat!"

Evan focused back on the conversation with Vincent:

„Where did you two meet?"

I blushed a little in remembrance of the first time we met. If only Evan knew, how this picture of Vincent with wet hair and only a towel around his waist had burned itself into my brain.

Honestly, back than I wanted nothing more than to step closer, kiss him then and there and pull that damn towel down.

He answered differently, of coarse:" A friend of mine set up a meeting for Catherine and me. She is my lawyer in the divorce of my soon to be- ex wife.

This time I felt Vincent´s heavy gaze on me but when I looked at him he got up quickly to clean up the kitchen.

Evan followed me to my guest room, firstly to not bother Vincent but also because I felt like I needed some privacy.

Vincent´s POV

She was kidding me, right? I had o lie ff I said that I didn´t like that new site of Catherine that I just got to know. Never before did I see her around her friends in such a good mood. But I also felt that that tension between us.

I get the fact that I made a mistake by letting Tori into my apartment, letting her kiss me and also by lying to Catherine about my feelings for her. I only deserved to be punished, but with making me jealous? Did she say that they were friends, too? He knows her better than I do and it scares me.

Catherine´s laughter made me smile though, when I heard her through the living room.

I stepped closer involuntarily and through the door I could hear them talk.

`"You are sure that he only wants to be your ´friend´? Because the way he looks at you, it´s pretty scary, Cat.´she chuckled lightly. „Scary?" „Yes, scary. He looked like he was about to throw me out of his flat when we sat at dinner.´

I didn´t know that my face was giving away my emotions that easily.

´Sorry I didn´t tell you about my problems with Manuel but it´s still hard for me to talk about that. But with Vincent I felt save, you now? I thought that I could start over new but his ex showed up and he kissed her. Well, he says that she kissed him and I believe him. But when he told me that he wouldn´t want a relationship with me... I don´t know. Maybe I just expected him to feel the way I do but we both know that I´m not very good with this stuff. Maybe I just fall in love with the wrong people.´

Woah, this was more than I dared to hope for. I was the biggest coward on the planet for not telling her the truth. But she didn´t turn away from me so maybe we just needed to sort things out if we truly wanted to start a relationship.

I leaned against the wall of the hall way and whispered:"I love you, Catherine!" before I went back to the kitchen.

Five minutes later they came out of the guestroom and Evan was about to leave.

„Don´t be a stranger, ok?" Catherine muttered and hugged him. „I missed you so much. I love you, Evan."

„Love you too!" he kissed her hair and I had to look away.

„We could actualy get a coffee tomorrow, if you are free."

„Sure, I´ll text you. Oh, and Cat? You look like you´ve grown a little in the past 3 months!"

„Evan!" She punched his chest lightly and laughed.

Goodbye, Cat!"

She closed the door and leaned against it.
