Catherine's POV
Albufeira Portugal
When we landed in Portugal I was hit by a warm breeze as I exited the plane, a wave of relief covered my body knowing that I free for three weeks and I was most definitely ready to have some fun and let loose
"Ok let's go over this one more time" I said to Vincent as we entered the car that was waiting to take us to the villa in albufeira
On our flight over here I told him that nobody knows that I have a body guard and that I wanted it to stay that way so even though he thought it was a stupid idea he agreed to become my 'fake boyfriend' so the girls wouldn't think it was strange that he follows me around 24/7
"Catherine I still think this is a stupid idea"
"Well what would you suggest we do?besides telling them the truth which by the way can't happen!" I stressed
He let out a sigh, then I started
"What's your name?"
"Catherine is it really necessary that you ask me that question it's pretty obvious?"
I just rose an eyebrow and looked him directly in the eyes
"Name?!"
He sighed again and replied
"Vincent Keller"
"Occupation?"
"ER doc at Saint Benjamin's"
"Where so you live?"
"New York?"
"How did we meet?" I asked curiously because I decided I would let him come up with that on his own since it would be about the only thing he had a say in
He locked eyes with me and there was a look I hadn't seen before and it was intriguing
"Well?" I asked
"Well we were introduced threw mutual friends and at first you were too stubborn to admit that you liked me bu..."
I cut him off with a punch in the arm "I am not stubborn"I stated and he gave me a 'yeah right' look, so I just rolled my eyes as he continued
"Anyway at first you were too STUBBORN to admit that you liked me but after I saved you form nearly drowning" he said with a smug grin
"You opened up and let me in and no matter how many times you tried to push me away I kept coming back because your worth it...because I love you"
He finished and I Melted, for a minute I actually wanted those words to be true and it's weird considering I had never looked at Vincent in that light before ever since that first day after we met, we instantly got along even though he is a pain in the ass and a smart aleck we do get along really good, great actually and I'm happy to say he's one of my best friends but there has always been this attraction between us that neither can deny
I cleared my throat and broke eye contact
"That's...ah that's really good" I said nonchalantly and tried to hide the pink that was surfacing on my cheeks But when I looked at him out the corner of my eye that stupid grin was in full effect
When we arrived at the villa my breath hitched it was so beautiful it was a two story house that was painted a cream colour and there were windows going all the way around it, it had along driveway that had trees at either side of it and when we got closer to the house I saw that there was a private pool and jacuzzi I was like a giddy child as I couldn't control the huge smile that covered my face
When the car stopped outside the door I hopped out and went to the back of it, as the driver opened the boot I went to grab my bag but Vincent snatched it before I could and I looked at him confused
"I can carry my own bag Vincent!" I stated and he just Put his hand up in protest
"Now what kind of a fake boyfriend would I be if I let my girl carry this heavy bag" he said sarcastically and I just let out a laugh
"Yeah yeah whatever" I didn't even bother to fight heck if it's less work for me then everything works out for the best so I decided to have a little fun of my own, I went on my tiptoes and placed my hands on his chest and got so close that my breath was on his lips
"Thanks baby" I said sarcastically as I looked up into his eyes and then turned around and made my way toward the door, I swear I heard him whimper a little but I didn't turn around I just let a grin cover my face and continued on
'If he's going to mess with me then I sure as hell am gonna mess with him' I stated in my head
When i turned the handle on the door I was met by a scream and the nut job that is known as Tess Vargas
"Caaaaaat your here!" She stated before wrapping her arms around me
I gasped at the force she had hugged me with and sucked in a deep breath
"Your Here, I thought you guys weren't scheduled to arrive until tomorrow!" I asked and she excitedly replied
"The rest of the girls are but I decided to fly out early and surprise you happy birthday" she said as she squeezed me tighter in her embrace
"Thanks Tess" I squeaked out and heard a chuckle come from Vincent who was standing behind me, when his presence was known Tess released me and walked toward him
"And who is this?" She asked throwing me a grin and then looking back towards Vincent and putting her hand out for him to shake
"Hi I'm Tess Vargas, and you are?" She asked as he gripped her hand in his, so I quickly spoke up
"Right ah Tess this is my boyfriend Vincent , Vincent this is my best friend Tess"
"Pleasure to meet you" he said with a smile as he shook her hand
"You too"she replied and released his hand then folded her arms across her chest
"And why am I only hearing that you have a boyfriend now?" She asked and I froze
"Ah" I sputtered out but Vincent quickly intervened
"Catherine wanted to keep it a secret until she was sure about us, you know she was nervous for her best friend to meet her boyfriend get your approval and all" he said and wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me into his side, pressing his lips to my head giving me a kiss on the forehead
"Tess I know we've only met and you've known Catherine for years but you need to know that I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her" he said and I was a bit taken back as his grip around my waist became tighter and I looked up at him and then back at Tess
"Honestly you seem like a nice guy and cats been really happy lately more than usual actually and now I know why, but just so you know that if you ever hurt her I'll kick the sh..." I new where that was going so I cut her short
"Ok Tess"
"By the way cat Theres something you need to know!" She said and I became a little nervous
"Ok what is it?" I asked and she was a little hesitant
"Am...are you sure you don't want to talk in private" she asked glancing at Vincent
"No it's ok Tess whatever you need to say to me you can say it infront of Vincent?" I said and she nod her head
"Ok how do I put this?" She said as she started to pace back and forth
I glanced up at Vincent and then left his side walking over to Tess, I placed my hands on her shoulders stopping her from moving so she would have to look at me
"Tess your making me nervous" I stated and she just blurted it out
"Evanishere?" She said all in one go and I took a step back
"WHAT?" I shouted and she cringed
"How did he know I was coming here?" I asked and Tess replied
"That's not the worst part!" She stated and my heart raced even faster
"What else?" I asked bracing myself
"He's here...With tori" she said slowly and my jaw dropped
"Evan?" Vincent's confused voice travelled from behind me and I actually forgot that he was standing there
Shit! I may have forgotten to tell Vincent about Evan! Well in all honesty I didn't really think I would be stuck in this type of situation now did I
Tess's eyes widened and she cleared her throat
"Well...this is awkward ..I'll give you two some space see you later cat, bye Vincent" she said before making a b-line for the door
I bit my bottom lip and threw Vincent a sheepish smile before legging it past him and up the stairs
"Catherine you can run but you can't hide!" He said as he followed me up the stairs, I new I'd have to tell him eventually so I went into one of the rooms and walked towards the floor length windows and crossed my arms over my chest as I looked out at the view
Vincent followed me but stayed in the doorway leaning up against its frame with his arms folded across his chest he said
"Come on Catherine, who is he?"
I walked over and sat at the bottom of the bed, putting my hands on my thighs, I took in a deep breath And started to explain
"Ah...evan was my boyfriend..we dated for two years and about two months ago he began acting strange, anyway one day I got a text from a friend telling me he was at a party when he told me he was showing some new student around the school so I went over there to confront him but instead found him having sex with someone else"
"Tori" I said her name rolling my eyes
"And now he's here...with her!" I said as tears threatened my eyes but I shook my head pushing them back
"You know what I think!" Vincent said as he sat beside me on the bed and cupped my cheek brushing away a few stray tears with his thumb
I couldn't make eye contact with him but he lifted my head up and forced our eyes to clash and when they did I couldn't help but feel extremely happy to have somebody like him
"I think Anybody...Anybody who is lucky enough to have gotten you would be crazy to let you go or to do anything to hurt you, Catherine you are funny, smart and the most beautiful woman I have ever met and don't ever let anybody tell you otherwise!" I looked toward the ground trying to hide the pink arising in my cheeks
But when I looked up at him again he still had his hand on cheek
"I mean it Catherine!" He stated and my breath hitched
"T-thanks" I breath out and what happened next I don't either could've stopped the space slowly began to close between us and our lips brushed together
A couple of seconds later I pulled away and leant my forehead on his when I looked up and locked eyes with him again the pull was too strong and I could see that he was struggling two
I yelped in surprise when he wrapped his hands around my waist and lifted me onto his lap so my legs were at either side of him and I couldn't help the small smile that curved my lips
His hands gripped my waist keeping me in place and I wrapped one hand behind his neck and cupped his cheek with the other the space between us began to close again and then our lips brushed together but it soon escalated as he pressed his tongue against my lips waiting access and I quickly complied opening them wider, as our tongues fought, hands roamed and the kiss deepened I felt his hand brush up the side of my dress and lightly squeeze my ass
"HELLO, CATHERINE" a voice hollered out and our heads snapped to the door I looked back at him and let out a small sigh I lifted myself off his lap and straightened out my dress
When I began to walk toward the door he grabbed my hand and stood up beside me whispering in my ear
"We are not done here!" He said with a seductive smile and I just let out a little chuckle
"Damn right!" I said and quickly pressed my lips to his before leaving the room and walking down the staircase
Vincent POV
Oh I'm in deep shit now
I know I shouldn't but I just can help it Catherine is smart, funny and beautiful and when we kissed it was like a surge of electricity went through my whole body and I wanna kick the shit out of this guy Evan for hurting her but in the end there is a possibility that I will be just as bad as him and the more I get to know Catherine the more i feel like what I'm suppose to be doing here is wrong
just then my phone rang and I took it out pressing the green button and rose it my ear
"Hello"
'Other person talking'
"About that I don't think that's such a good idea Catherine has nothing to do with this if you wanna get at bob chandler then you should attack his campaign not his children"
'Other person talking'
"Hey...I didn't want to do this in the first place I'm not like you I care about her and I'm not about to hurt her because of what her father did to you"
'Other person talking'
"I only agreed to do this because you threatened me and now I don't care anymore so that plan you wanted me to follow through with its over!" With that I ended the call and suddenly heard a loud bang so I quickly left the room and made my way down the staircase
Catherine's POV
~ Minutes earlier ~
When I reached the first level the voice shouted again
"CATHERINE" I swear I know that voice and then it hit me EVAN
When I saw the him I wanted to knock him out
"Evan what the fuck are you doing here?" I asked in a pisst off tone
"Look Catherine I made a mistake I should never have slept with tori!"
I just scoffed"So why did you?"
"I don't know please Catherine can you give me another shot?" He pleaded but he can go fuck himself if he ever thinks I will ever take him back
"Your too late I've already moved on so don't let the door hit you on the way out of my life!" I said As I began to walk past him but he grabbed my wrist
"Cat just listen to me!"
"Evan...let..me..go" I said as I tried to pull my wrist out of grip, as we struggled I don't know where it came from but he suddenly back handed me and I hit the floor with a loud smack
"Oh my god Catherine I'm so sorry" he said as he started to walk toward me but I quickly retracted
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted and suddenly there was something that sounded like a growl and when Evan turned around I looked up from the ground and saw Vincent who looked like he was about to kill the next thing I new Evan was on the ground and Vincent was helping me up when I looked up at him he brushed away my hair and saw the Bruise that was appearing on the right side off my face and just wrapped me in his arms
"I'm so sorry Catherine I should've stopped him I'm so sorry!" He whispered and I couldn't control the tears anymore so I gripped my hands tighter behind his Back and buried my face in his chest
"It's not your fault" I said When I caught my breath and looked down at Evan who was starting to move when his eyes opened and he started to get up he made it onto to his feet and Vincent was about to swing for him again but I grabbed his arm
"Please don't he's not worth it!"I said and he retracted I walked infront of Him and stood toe to toe with Evan i swung my hand hitting the right side of his face
"If you EVER come near me again I swear it'll be the last thing you do because I'll leave you alone with him" I said pointing back toward Vincent who still had the same look of murder in his eyes
"Now run back to your whore!" I said and he walked away, a minute later I heard the front door shut
Just then my knees gave way and I was gripped by a strong pair of arms as I hit the floor I don't know how long I was on the ground for wrapped in his arms crying but all I know is that at one point it could've been minutes or hours later he lifted me into his arms and carried me up to bed
He took off my shoes and lid beside me wrapping me in his arms again, I snuggled closer to his chest as sleep began to take over
That's when I realised that I was falling in love with him
Oh Vincent what are you hiding?
