Hi everyone, first thanks for the reviews. And then, since the challenge is done, I've decided to add some chapters to this - nothing long, I promise.

Enjoy,

So ;)

To Max, first reward. ;)

Chapter 2: Catherine

"Sara…" I breathe out before kissing her again.

I can't remember the last time someone drove me so crazy by kissing me. And Sara is so hot. Oh yeah, I should probably mention now that I've been making out with Sara, the cool, confident Sara Sidle; Sara Sidle, who's looking so sexy right now, with her big brown eyes and her swollen lips.

She's looking at me with concern, silently asking me if everything is ok.

"I just need a few minutes," I announce.

"Oh…sure," she smiles that beautiful gap toothed smile of hers.

I decided to do one crazy thing three weeks ago. I asked her out on a date, and after pleading my case, she actually accepted it, which was probably crazier. I didn't expect anything, really, I just thought… hell going out on blind date, or on dates with people I was only attracted to never worked, it's always been a disaster; so if I went out with someone I actually appreciate as a person first and find attractive on top of it that could work. Plus Sara and I already fought so many times, we have already seen the worst of each other, so how bad could it be?

It wasn't bad at all, far from it. I don't remember the last time someone made me laugh so much. And there was really no expectation, yet Sara made each of our date special. Tonight she kissed me for the first time and though I had thought about it, and hoped for it to happen, I hadn't expected all the chemistry between us and that sudden devouring desire for her.

I start to stand up but my lips seem attracted to hers like a magnet and I find myself kissing her again. "You're so addictive," I tell her. "Okay, I'll be back in a flash."

I leave her in the living room with a goofy smile on my face. I feel like a teenager. I go in my bedroom and start to lighten up some candles. I want her, but to be honest just some more making out and cuddling is more than fine with me. I hear the phone ringing but I really don't want to pick up, just in case it's work. I don't want my night with Sara to turn short so I let the call going to the answering machine.

I take one last look at my bedroom – which is now illuminated with dim light. I smile, happy with the result and go back in the living room.

"Sara, can you…" whatever I was about to say dies on my lips as I see the object of my affection close to the front door. "You're going somewhere?" I ask with a frown.

"Yeah, home," her voice has lost the warmth that made me melt just a few instant ago.

"What?" is my eloquent reply, I definitely don't understand the sudden change of mood.

"Your girlfriend called…" she states flatly. She hands me back the stuffed pony she won at a fair some hours ago and then opens the door. "See you," and with that she's gone.

Once I'm over my chock my brain catches up with her words. My girlfriend?

"But I don't have any girlfriend," I say to no one. I rush outside only to see Sara's car driving away. "Fuck," I mutter.

I look frantically for my cell phone and dial Sara's number. It comes as no surprise when I'm redirected to her voice mail. "Sara, please call me back, I don't know what happened but I can assure you that it's not what you think it is," I leave her a message. I call her house and leave another message.

My mind is on overdrive. I'm thinking hard about what could have given her such an idea and at what moment things got wrong. It had to happen when we were apart, when…the phone!

I push the button on my machine to listen to the message. " Cath, baby, pick up it's Leanne…pick up… you know as your girlfriend I think I deserve better than your machine…fine play dead then, call me back sweetie, love you,"

I pinch the bridge of my nose and start to chuckle. Great.

I pick up my phone and dial a number by heart. "Baby! That was fast!" the cheerful voice answer at the other end.

"In all the time we've known each other, this is the first time you have the worst timing ever," I reply.

Leanne is one of my oldest friends. I met her when I first arrive in Vegas, she was there for me during my darkest hours, I can count on her at any time and she'll be there for me in a heartbeat, just like I'll be there for her if she needs me.

"Now I'm offended, you used to love me whenever I called you," I'm pretty sure that she's pretending to pout right now.

"Lee…" I sigh.

"Uh oh. Okay, what have I done?" she asks seriously.

"I think my date didn't appreciate your introduction as my girlfriend."

"Ouch, babe, I'm sorry…"

"It's not like you could have known..." I sigh saddly caressing the stuffed animal in my hands. Mini Spartacus.

"Babe, explain me why you're on the phone with me right now instead of trying to clean up my mess?" Leanne asks me vehemently. I fail to answer her "Jeez, go, go now! Unless that person isn't special at all."

"I'll call you back."

"You better."

"Love you babe"

"Yeah, yeah, I love you too, now get your ass out of here."

I hung up and start to go out then make my way back in. I go straight to my room and blow all the candles making sure I haven't left any burning then I rush out of the door in my car, Mini Spartacus in hand.

Sara's way too special for me to let her go.
