Catherine's POV
~ a couple of hours later ~
When I woke up i noticed that Vincent was still holding me in his arms, god I wish I could stay in them forever but unfortunately I cant, I let out a slight sigh and looked up seeing he was asleep, he was so cute when he sleeps I moved up a little further in his arms and his grip around me tightened, I pressed my lips to his cheek and he began to move when his eyes opened he looked down at me and I felt like drowning in his beautiful brown eyes
"Hey your awake!" He said with a small smile and loosened his grip around me
"Now you are too" I whispered and snuggled closer to him
He brushed away my hair and lightly traced his fingertips over my bruise and I winced a little in pain at the contact
"Sorry" he whispered and moved his head up, pressing his lips lightly to it and lid back down so we were face to face again
"I told you Vincent this wasn't your fault, you couldn't have known this was gonna happen heck I didn't realise it had happened until I was on the ground" I said lightly brushing my fingertips over the bruise myself
"I should have broken his knee caps" he said and I let out a chuckle
"Have no arguments with you there but like I said before he's not worth it" I said placing my hand on his face and started caressing his cheek
"But thank you" I whispered
"For what?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows
"For caring about me enough to wanna do that!" I stated and he let out a slight chuckle
"Well it's not hard to care about you Catherine even though you are stubborn and do hog the bathroom for ages..." I cut him off with a light punch in the chest and he just let out a laugh but suddenly his face turned serious and he gripped my waist pulling me closer to him
"I mean it Catherine I really do care about you"
"I care about you two" I said looking up at him and the space between us began to close again, as our tongues found each other I had a thought it was probably stupid but i thought I'd run it past Vincent anyway
When we pulled back for air
"Catherine..."
"Vincent..."
We said Simultaneously and let out a laugh
"You first" he said and I took a deep breath
"Ok... I was wondering what if while we're in Portugal we give this a shot a genuine shot you and me and if things don't work out then when we go back to New York it can be like nothing happened, you know as well as I do that there has always been something between us and I just thought why not...try!"
I looked up at him and wasn't sure what to expect so I held my breath until finally he replied
"Okay!" he breath out and I looked up at him kinda surprised but happy
"Okay?" I repeated and he looked down at me with a smile "okay!" He said again and I couldn't help the smile that covered my face
"Your right there has always been ...something between us so why not see if ...it goes somewhere as you said its at least worth giving it a shot" he explained and I felt like a giddy teenager who just got asked out by her crush, I moved up to kiss him but too quickly and winced as the pain from my bruise began to surface
"You were gonna say something before I did?" I asked and he just brushed it off
"Oh yeah i can't even remember now ...I ah...I should go get you an ice pack or something to help with the swelling!" He said and got up off the bed
"I'll be right back, would you like something, water..." He trailed on but I cut him off
"No I'm okay, thank you" I said as he left the room and I relaxed deeper into the bed 'I can't believe we're actually going out!' I whispered to myself and then turned over screaming Into my pillow with excitement
Vincent's POV
Well there's no turning back now I was gonna tell her everything but I just can't I really do care about Catherine and I can't believe she wants to try to figure out what this is between us and I realise now that my intentions were wrong when I first came here but not now, now that's over and I'm gonna concentrate fully on protecting her and unfortunately sometime in the future that may include from me
When I reached the fridge I pulled out a tray of ice and grabbed a cloth as I was about to place the ice in the cloth my phone beeped and I took it out seeing that I had gotten a message from the person who was to blame for all of this...it read
Vincent Your making a huge mistake not following through with this plan!
I text back
The only mistake I made was listening to you, you have no control over me and I am not scared of you anymore you controlled me my entire life and now that's over goodbye!
I quickly got a reply
Fine!...if you won't bring that little bitch to us then we're gonna come get her ourselves!
I swallowed a lump in my throat and text back
Over my dead body !
I placed the phone back in my pocket and quickly put the ice in the cloth and went back upstairs to find Catherine in the bathroom with her hair pulled over to one side observing her bruise I swear I wanted to castrate that douche for what he did to her
I walked up behind her and snaked my arms around her waist handing her the ice pack
"Here this'll help" I said and she took it with a slight smile
"Thank you" she whispered
"Hey why don't we have a movie night like you said the rest of your friends aren't gonna be here until tomorrow it's a break, eat some junk food, watch a movie , eat an endless supply of redvines so whatta ya say" I asked planting a kiss and her neck and she just nod her head
"That sounds great I'll just grab a quick shower first I feel dirty after seeing Evan!" She stated
"Okay I'll just go order the food and pick a movie you okay with angers assemble?" I asked quirking an eyebrow and she just nod her head with a small smile
As I made my way down the stairs, I walked into the kitchen and grabbed the phone after calling the takeaway I placed the DVD in the player and pressed pause until Catherine came down when the food arrived I grabbed a couple of plates and starting putting out the food
"CATHERINE FOODS HERE" I blared out And a minute later she walked in and my jaw dropped she was wearing a pair of denim shorts and a light purple tank top she walked over and gave me a kiss on the lips
"Thank you" she said with a smile as she grabbed the food and two beers making her way toward the couch
I stood there froze for a minute until her voice brought me back from my thoughts
"Vincent...viiiinccccent"
I looked over at her and saw she was still wearing that beautiful smile of hers
"Are you gonna join me?" She asked and I quickly replied
"Yeah.. coarse" I said as I grabbed my food and walked toward the couch sitting next to her
After we had finished our food and were in the middle of watching avengers assemble I wrapped my arm around her shoulders and she snuggled into my chest
About an hour later I heard her breathing even out telling me she was asleep so i leant further back in the couch getting more comfortable when my phone beeped again I took it out and a lump formed in my throat when the message read
So be it !
Who is Vincent being controlled by? Looks like he's got himself in a bit of trouble!
