Chapter 16 Lawyer Chandler

Previously: "Catherine..." I sighted, at first because I wanted her to be quiet.

But if she wanted to have this talk right now. ...

"Catherine, what I said..."

My phone rang and Cat signed me to answer before she gave me some privacy. "JT?" "Hey man, I just wanted to check that you are OK after yesterday evening! Aaaaaand: You know that today is valentines day?!

Time to woo our ladies!" JT sounded over- enthusiastically cheerful. Valentine's day, huh? JT was right, this was my chance to woo Catherine, show her what she means to me! The whole program!

After I finished my call with JT, Catherine came back from the kitchen and broke the uncomfortable silence:" Today is valentine's day and Evan asked me to meet him for dinner. Beth broke up with him this morning and he sounded like he needed someone to talk to." She nervously kneaded her fingers as if she wanted to continue but interrupted herself.

"A date... !" I asked before I could control my surprise and jealousy.

"It's not a date!" She protested.

"Evan made a reservation at Wolfgang 's Steakhouse months ago and he wouldn't want to waste it. Anyway, he'll pick me up at 7!"

"Sure, go have dinner with the guy who suffers a break up on Valentines day!" I said sarcastically.

"Vincent, you have no right to be jealous. You're not the only man in my life and you gave away our precious opportunity 3 months ago. You can't forbid me to see anyone, you ' ex- wife- kisser'!" With this statement she left the room, gladly she didn't seem too angry! I had to laugh about her childish curse.

'Ex- wife - kisser'? Jeez, didn't intend to annoy her like this or that she would snap that easily.

'Oh Catherine, I'll show you how Vincent Keller woos his lady' I whispered to myself. This was the time to fight with all of my weapons.I got my phone and jacket and left.

Catherine 's POP

I suddenly felt exhausted and tired again. So Vincent still though that he had a chance with me?

We had managed to successfully avoid the topic in the last few weeks but now he brought it up again. He surely wasn't the only man in my life, the most attractive one in my eyes though!

Time to move on! This didn't make the meeting with Evan a date but it couldn't hurt though, he was sweet, handsome and charming after all.

I opened my wardrobe and got my outfit out ready for the evening. I chose a maroon- coloured dress with a line of pearls at the neck and a beautiful A - line skirt.

5 hours later:

Since I had still time left till Evan would pick me up, I smuggled into my blanket on my bed and read.

When Vincent knocked on the door I murmured:" Come in..." but he didn't open. I got up and opened the door, only to find a giant Teddy bear sitting on the ground with a red plush heart in his hands.

I smiled to myself against my will, picked the Teddy up and read the little card that came with it. 'From: Ex- wife - kisser '

Seriously? Our argument was ridiculous but I couldn't stop giggling at the card. When he left the bathroom I used my chance to tease him. After all two could play this game, right?

"Do you have any idea who placed this exaggerated bear in front of my room?"

" Mhh, maybe? "

"How am I supposed to thank him if I don't know him? "

"I'm sure he'll come back for you.." he whispered.

"Please tell me that you aren't trying to win me over with a bear. What's next? Roses? And about that card: do you think that's funny?"

This Mr. Keller, ... I guess he's trying to apologise. And about that card: he honestly made a huge mistake when he let his ex kiss kiss him while he was in love with a special girl.

I'm sorry, Catherine!"

When he had finished I was at a loss of words. That was so sweet and his honesty... I felt this certain sting in my heart when I looked at him.

"That is ... wow, I uhm... need to go. Evan will be here soon!" This wasn't the answer he expected. He frowned a little but let me go, I grabbed the Teddy at one of his over dimensional wars and dragged him into my room.

Vincent 's POP

At least she didn't hate it! 30 minutes later, at 7:30 pm Evan still didn't show up. Catherine walked past me into the living room and looked stunning. She wore murder high heels and in the gorgeous dark red dress her legs looked even longer.

"Catherine, you look beautiful... wow! "

"Thank you! " She bushed a little and sat down.

"So you talked to this Keller- guy again? " She asked.

"I think he still considers to win your heart. .."

"What does he have in mind? " She asked with serious curiosity.

"High classified information, I'm not authorised to tell!" I smiled.

2 minutes later she was gone and it was safe to say that Evan was a prick to let her wait for so long! No wonder Beth left him!

Time for me to treat her like the beautiful woman she was. Catherine once told me how much she loved roses...

I left again and searched for the flower seller at the end of the road.

"How many roses can I get?"

"Sir, it's Valentines day! I have one red rose left, but some more in different colours." He said regretfull.

"Good luck with your girl!" He added before I left, luck was exactly what I needed.

Catherine' s POP

It was half past eleven by now and the evening with Evan was pretty depressing because he was basically mourning after Beth all the time.

Besides that, my feet hurt and I was tired so I asked Evan to bring me home.

I opened the front door, the apartment was dark and I wondered if Vincent was asleep already.

When I turned the little lamp in the hallway on, tears welled up in my eyes.

"Oh my god! " I whispered and covered my mouth with one hand in surprise!
