Chapter 17.

The room was filled with roses, their scent lingered in the air like a lovely, soft perfume and I felt like I was standing on a meadow summer. I closed the door behind me and walked further in until I found Vincent sleeping on the couch, this man never failed to surprise me. He looked gorgeous in his tux and I wouldn't want to miss a chance to see him dressed up like this. A folded piece of paper caught my eye, he must have dropped it when he fell asleep and I slowly stepped closer to pick it up, careful not to wake him.

Dear Catherine,

I want you to know that my heart can not bear the pain of thinking that you don't return my feelings, my love for you.

Please forgive me. I caused you so much pain and anger, believe me when I say that if I was given a chance to take it back I would without hesitation. All I have left to say is to beg you to start over new and let the past be the past. I love you and I don't get tired of telling you over and over again. Let me demonstrate you that I'm willing to give my best.

Please don't run from me again.

V.

I wiped away the tears that prickled down my cheeks at the beautiful words that came from Vincent and made my heart swell with love for him and faith in us. My heart told me what to do and the fear in my mind, that our relationship wouldn't work, faded away.

...

No other man kept me awake so many nights before in my life and Vincent did lately. How difficult could a be in a relationship with Vincent become? But valentines day once again showed me that I wasn't made single. In jeans and a blue silk blouse and left my room but didn't find Vincent on the couch. He stood in the kitchen, his back turned towards me, dressed in comfortable clothes. The flowers were still in place from last night and I took a moment to drink in the scene with my eyes.

"Good morning! " I said playfully and smiled when he turned in surprise.

"Good morning ". Slowly I sat down on one of the bar chairs and looked up into his eyes.

"I need to tell you something but I don't know how to do it! " I said directly but the silence between us wasn't uncomfortable when he waited for me to find the right words.

He stepped closer and I used my chance: who wanted to talk when showing the feelings was so easy!

I grabbed both his hands, pulled myself into his arms and kissed him as is life depended on it.

After a moment of surprise he kissed me back with the same passion.

When I pulled back and leaned my forehead against his, we smiled and tried to calm our breathing.

I ignored the voice of disapproval in my head.

"I love you, Catherine!" He mumbled and i answered truthfully:"I love you, too! " against his lips.

Vincent 's POP

After the difficulties we had to face before, this felt like a dream.

I wanted to kiss her, cherish and worship her company, show her that I loved her.

"Last night-" I started but she laid a finger on my lips to make me stop.i caressed her hand with mine and slowly kissed her fingers while she tried to speak, distracted by my actions.

"Thank you for the flowers, thank you for waiting."

She smirked at me when she continued:" At first when I came home I expected you to hide in the hallway to surprise me but when I found you sleeping. ..!"

"Are you laughing at me?"

She giggled:" You looked so cute in a tux, snoring into the night! " She stated and it was my turn to pout.

"The flowers were supposed to surprise you but I didn't know that Evan meant what he said when he took you on a 'night- out'. And for the record, I am pretty sure that I don't snore."

"No, you don't! And I was surprised, I still am! Thank you so much! "

She said sweetly and rewarded me with a kiss.

"You told me that a single rose wouldn't change your mind and I thought that maybe a few more would warm you heart a little. It's cheesy, isn't it? !"

She rolled her eyes at me and I grinned like a teenager in love when I handed her a cup of fresh coffee and prepared breakfast.

"You're crazy! " I just couldn't get enough of this woman.

"Crazy in love!" She hugged me from behind and I turned my head to kiss her. We would never make it to breakfast if she continued to distract me.

The phone rang and I reluctantly pulled away.

"Keller!" What the hell? The number of the hospital appeared on the screen. My shift was supposed to start in 4 hours...

"Mr. Keller, your wife was admitted to the hospital an hour ago after a major car accident. She is in surgery right now. " Apparently the news about my divorce hadn't made the road yet but I didn't bother to correct her right now.

"I'm on my way!" I answered and ended the call.
