Catherine POV
I didn't realize it at first but now that Evan was gone, we were alone again.
And the expression on Vincent's face told me came was next: he wanted to talk. He was right, we needed to but, this didn't make the situation any easier.
Why can't he understand that I need to reorganize my feelings for him?
Why can't he understand how he hurt me when he labelled our relationship with the ´friend´- thing?
I thought that he felt the same way I did, for god's sake, he even told me that.
´Calm down, Cat!´ I told myself and hopelessly tried to relax a little.
Vincent practically stared at me, his expression gave nothing away but his eyes did.
I froze immediately at the sheer intensity and while I couldn't move, my mind told me to run.
Slowly, yet powerful he rose from the couch. Oh no, this was bad, really bad. Now I was nervous and confused.
Vincent carefully stepped closer as if I were a frightened deer and he had to make sure not to move too quickly.
Then he was right in front of me, at arms length and I looked up into his eyes.
`Breathe Cat, just breathe` I had this sentence on repeat on my mind.
Vincent POV
She was close and it took the last inch of my willpower to not kiss her right here and then.
If I wanted this to work, she would have to be the one to make a move now, to show me, that she wanted that too.
When she lifted her right hand, I expected her to slap me. I wouldn't blame her, but she carefully entwined our hands, took the last step and kissed me.
She made me forget everything around us, there was no yesterday, no tomorrow when she kissed me. The kiss was soft, lovely and over too soon. She pulled away and lowered her head.
"Vincent, I can't keep doing that." She murmured sadly.
"Why not? Catherine!" carefully I caressed her cheek and let my fingers glide under her chin, to make her look at me.
"I feel nothing for Tori." Each word was meant to reassure her.
"Ever since you showed up here, I knew that there was something special about you, about us!"
"Vincent, the first day we kissed, I thought that Tori was the past for you and then you kissed told me that you made a mistake and I believe you but it's kind of hard to forget.
I need time to think about us!" She said a little angry now.
"But Catherine- "she interrupted my and continued:
"No Vincent, I need time, okay? You said that I am your friend and friends don't kiss, right?
Why did you say that? This is just so confusing and I need to organize that mess in my brain you created. Good night, Vincent!"
She turned and walked away without looking back.
Catherine POV
Jeez, why was I so confused.
Because he kissed me? I was intimidated by him and by the way I felt when we were in the same room. My brain worked against my heart. The previous week was like an endless ´he loves me, he loves me not´- game.
A hot bath was what I needed right now to distract me from Vincent but unfortunately it didn't work. At first I had those ridiculous daydreams about Vincent joining me in the bathtub, then his kiss with Tori kept me occupied.
On my last attempt I closed my eyes and shut my thoughts down. I concentrated on the feeling of the hot water on my skin and it seemed to wash all the pain, the heartache and stress away, it felt heavenly.
I changed into a pair of flannel pyjamas, a birthday gift from Tess, pulled my wet hair up into a bun and wanted nothing more than to get into my room, my bed.
Vincent wasn't alone, JT who I hadn't seen in ages sat with him on the couch.
"Dude, Tori just came here?" he couldn't hide his curiosity.
"Well, she showed up, I let her in and she… kissed me!" I could tell that he was embarrassed, a lot!
"What? You can't be serious! And Cat? What did she say?"
The hint of a grin hushed over my face when I heard how JT snapped at Vincent.
"JT, I mean it! She saw us."
"So?" "What!" Vincent shot back. "Did you talk about it?"
"We did… she needs time!" I could barely understand him because he whispered the words.
"You are an idiot!" JT scolded him.
Before I would fall asleep in the hallway, I quickly sneaked into my room and fell asleep the second my head hit thee pillow.
In the morning I put on my robe and went to the kitchen.
Vincent was cooking and again I had to ask myself how any girl, let alone me, was supposed to think properly if he was around. He wore black boxer shorts. Only black boxers, nothing else and I stood for a second to enjoy the view. I wonder if he did this out of habit, or on purpose.
"Good Morning!" my voice was husky and I cleared my throat.
He jumped a little and turned to me. "Good morning, Catherine… I'll just put a shirt on." When he came back from his room, he wore a black t shirt and sweat pants.
"What do you want for breakfast?"
"I don't care. I'm just hungry, I'll be fine with whatever you prepared." I said nonchalantly.
"Fine, when will Evan come?" He didn't sound pleased by the thought.
"He'll pick me up in the afternoon. You are ok with that, are you? I mean, that he comes here?"
"No, I'm not, Catherine." he looked straight into my eyes and the power in his voice, the determination surprised me. Oh, yes! This is the jealous Vincent Keller coming through.
He put a big plate with pancakes to the table and sat down. The food smelled delicious and I smiled at the fact that he cooked it.
"Well, now that you mentioned it… you won't have to let him into your house ´ll just meet somewhere else…"
We were interrupted by the doorbell. I sat closer to the door, got up and looked at him, asking for permission. "I'll open…" I muttered and left, when he nodded at me.
For the second time in the last few hours I completely froze. Tori stared at me, her bright eyes widened in surprise.
I snapped out of my rigidity and said to Vincent without turning away from Tori: "Vincent, Your wife."
