×× personal thoughts are in BOLD

9:59 am

Vincent was already home laying on his bed waiting for 10am. He's extremely exhausted from being up almost 16 hours and all he really care about is sleep. He grabbed her phone and went through her contacts. He finally found Tess and dialed her number.

I can't believe she doesn't have a lock on her phone.

"Hello."

"This is Vincent, Catherine told me to call you."

"One sec." He heard her call out her name. He waited as it sounded like she just placed the phone down.

"Hello. Vincent?"

"Hey, this is me calling."

She giggled. "Yeah listen im flying back tonight. Are you working? Maybe I can meet you somewhere at the airport?"

"Yeah I should be there. What time do you get in?"

"Well im catching the red eye back from California so ... around 8ish."

"One sec." He reached for his schedule and saw that he got off at 630."Uh yeah that's fine. If you could text me your flight info and I'll meet u at baggage" claim."

"Ok great. I'll see you then. I really appreciate you doing this."

"Anytime"

Catherine hung up the phone and handed it back to Tess.

"Maybe you can thank him with a kiss?" She teased.

"Tess shut up. Get ready we are late."

Vincent's night seems to go slower than it did yesterday. Its finally 6 am and he's going to be off soon.

"So what time are u meeting phone girl?"

Telling JT about the phone was a big mistake because now all he did was nag him about it.

"I'm meeting Catherine... at 830"

"You're off in 20 mins so what the hell are you going to do for 2 hours?"

"I dont know man, I might go home and change and come back."

"Ask her if she has any hot friends."

Vincent just shook his head and chuckled at his friend.

"Ill ask."

Catherine's plane finally landed although it was delayed for almost an hour due to the weather. Hoping Vincent was still waiting for her, she rushed out of the plane but headed to the bathroom first to check herself. She'd hate to admit it to anyone and especially to herself but she did find Vincent very attractive.

She touched up her make up, straightened out her clothes and headed for baggage claim. She tried to scan the crowd but couldn't find him. She decided to find her gate and hoping that he would be there. Her bags finally came and as she reached for her bags she felt someone's hand reach for it as well.

"Here let me help you." It was the same guy that loaned her his phone.

"Hi. Again."

She politely smiled at him. "Thanks."

"I swear Im not stalking you. Um hi names, Zack." He held out his hand and she shook it.

"Catherine."

"Well Catherine as always a pleasure. Did you find your phone by the way?"

"Not yet. Im supposed to be meeting him now."

"Goodluck. See you soon I hope. I travel a lot, and for the looks of it so do you."

He waved and winked at her.

"Bye"

Catherine scanned the crowd and still couldnt find him.

You'd think hed be easy to find with that uniform on.

On a whim she walked over to a security guy and decided to ask him about Vincent.

"Um so sorry to bother you, but im looking for Vincent and he works security here."

"Vincent...Keller?" He looked at her from head to toe. "Wait are u phone girl?"

"Phone girl?" She looked at him confused.

"Yeah were you the one that left your phone?"

"Yes! That's me. Phone girl." She giggled,"Do you know where he is?"

"He was off well..."He looked down at his watch,"Wow, about 3 hours ago. He did mention that he was going home and coming back. I can help you look for him." He stepped back and checked out Catherine from the back. "Nice" he mumbled under his breath.

She quickly turned around to face him, "What did you say?"

"Uh nice... to meet you. JT. Friend of Vincent."

"Catherine. Phone girl"

Out of nowhere Jt started bursting out laughing pointing to a sleeping man on one of the benches. "Found Him!"

"Aww. Oh no." Catherine looked at Vincent. He was curled up with his legs crossed extended across the bench.

He's kinda cute asleep.

"Hey sleeping beauty! Wake up!" JT slapped Vincent's shoulder.

Vincent stirred and opened his eyes. "Uh hey!" Clearly embarassed, he tried to hide his blushed cheeks by looking down and trying to avoid eye contact with the two.

"Uh yeah sorry, i guess i dozed off." He smiled at her awkwardly and reached in his back pocket and pulled out her phone. "Here you go. Sorry about that."

"You dont know how much I appreciate this. Im sorry about making you wait. My flight got delayed and ..."

"Uh its fine really. Well if thats all then I guess I'm going to go." he said interrupting her.

JT just shook his head. Typical Vincent, having a beautiful girl infront of him and all he's worried about is sleep.

He's never going to get a girl. His lost.

"Uh yeah. I guess I'll see you around"

"Yeah. Ok. Ill see you JT". With that Vincent walked off.

Catherine left stunned by his actions but not entirely surprised either.

What was i expecting?. She really didn't know. For some rrason she wanted more out of it. She shook her head and turned to JT.

"Well thanks for helping me find him. I guess I'll see you around."

Catherine has traveled for a week straight and has passed through the same security atleast 5 times but no Vincent.

Ugh. What is wrong with me? Why am i so obsessed with this guy?

As she was running , again, she turned around and bumped into someone. Not looking up "I'm sorry."

"Uh. Its ok." That voice sent shivers down her spine.

"Hey Vincent!" She shrieked as she looked up."How are you?" She managed to say but couldn't contain the excitement in her voice.

"I'm good. How are you?" He smiled.

Is she excited to see me? Nah.

"Flying again I see."

"Yeah 5th time this week actually. I havent seen you around here. Why is that?" She questioned him with her hand on her hip."Have you been avoiding me?"

Vincent totally taken back by her assertiveness, "Uh no. I was sick so I was out for a couple of days." He explained. He almost felt guilty that he was not at work. But the fact that she noticed his absence surprised him more.

Whats her deal? Im reading too much into this.

"Ok. Well im running late as usual. Ill see you around."

"Yeah. Have a safe flight." As he watched her walk off, he noticed her drop her boarding pass ... again.

She will forget her head if it wasn't attached to her body. This girl is a mess.

"Catherine!"

She stopped walking and a smile formed on her face.

It worked. Yes!

She purposely dropped her pass hoping he would pick it up and take it to her.

"Yeah?"

He caught up to her and handed her the pass. "You dropped this, again"

She sense a hint of annoyance in his voice. "Oh yeah thanks."

"You need someone to travel with or take care of u because you're a mess" he said shaking his head.

Catherine choked at his words. Ouch

"uh yeah. Ill get on that".

What a jerk.

She walked away from him holding her irritation trying not to snap at him.

This is the last time i try to get your attention Vincent Keller.
