Here is chapter 6 and this reveals a lot of secrets anyway I hope you enjoy and please review :) x
Catherine's POV
The dream keeps repeating itself over and over again I woke up and took a deep breath I looked to my left and saw I wasn't in the bedroom but still in the living room and the movie credits were rolling on the screen I closed my eyes again and tried to relax my body but then felt a hot breath on my neck I opened my eyes and looked down at my chest and saw an arm across it I followed the arms up to my right and saw Vincent's sleeping face, we were lying down so he must've moved us during the night to get more comfortable a small smile crept on my face and I moved a little, lightly pressing my lips to his and he just scrunched his nose and I released a giggle
I looked up at the clock above the tv and noticed it was 6am the girls would be here in about 6 hours and what to do between now and then is a total blank. as I lid down I felt a sudden urge of anger creep up inside me
I was angry at my dad and stupid face gabe, I was angry at Evan for hitting me I trusted him but that went out the window when I found him having sex with tori, I was angry and afraid of that monster in my dreams he was apart of my past and thats where he should stay!
I wiggled a little in Vincent's arms trying to get free, finally I moved further down the couch under his arms and slid off the couch I hurriedly walked up the stairs and threw on a pair of workout short length pants and a tank I grabbed a pair of trainers and put my hair up in a messy bun
When I inquired about getting a villa for my stay over here I asked specifically for there to be a gym in it I know it's stupid I'm on vacation and I want to work out
When I walked back down stairs I saw Vincent was still asleep so I quietly went Down another flight of stairs to a lower level under the villa that was made into a gym and right in the middle of the floor was my haven, a punching bag hung from a chain off the ceiling
I walked over to it and grabbed the gloves that were tied around the top of it. I jammed my hands into the gloves and put my earphones in and the song 'Angel with a shotgun' by the cab played which is one of my favourite songs. I stretched out my arms across my chest and kicked out my legs warming up and soon after started pounding and kicking the bag all of my frustrations and anger were being released and I immediately started to feel better
About 45 minutes later I brushed my hand against my forehead wiping away the sweat and continued my attack on the bag
Suddenly a hand touched my shoulder and I reacted on instinct alone turning around throwing a punch put they quickly ducted and I heaved out a loud breath
"Sorry" I breath out walking past Vincent and toward a counter with towels on it
"No problem, just remind me never to sneek up on you" he said walking behind me
"yeah... Sorry about that again I was just really concentrated on the punching bag I didn't mean to nearly take your head off!" I said throwing him an apologetic look
I hopped on the counter and wiped the towel over my face then placed it down on my lap as Vincent wrapped his arms around me waist and gave me a kiss on the shoulder
"Everything ok...I woke up and you were gone"
"Yeah I just needed to blow off some steam , since I won't be able to when the girls get here I mean I love my friends and all but they can be a lot to handle!"
"Are you hungry, I could make you something" he said looking up at me
"You know i am hungry, but not for food"I said with a seductive smile and moved my body so he was positioned in between my legs and I pressed my lips to his
"Oh really" he said reciprocating my smile and returned the kiss deepening it as he put his hands on my back pulling me into his chest ,as things started to get heated he pulled away and leant his forehead on mine
"It's getting a little hot in here" he whispered and I nod my head and before I realised what he was doing he put his head under my right arm and gripped my thighs with his hands throwing me over his shoulder and walking us towards the stairs
"Vincent Keller put me down!" I shouted playfully hitting his back as he walked up the staircase
"Hey you better stop hitting me or I'll drop you"
"don't you dare" I said in a warning tone and he just started to laugh
When we reached the living room he threw me onto the couch and climbed ontop of me kissing my lips but then got up and walked toward the kitchen
"Catherine as much as I would love to do that your friends are gonna be here in a couple of hours and Tess is already here and we wouldn't want her to walk in on us screwing on the couch!" He said and i got up and started to walk toward him
"That's why people invented locks" I said as I sat at the island in the middle of the kitchen
"Catherine" he said giving me that look he uses at home when I want something but should probably wait and I hate to admit but he's usually right 'Damit!'
"Fine" I said getting off the chair "but are you sure you'll be able to resist me" I said teasingly and he cupped my face
"Just about" he said and pressed his lips against mine but as his hand caressed my cheek it brushed off my bruise and I winced a little, he pulled back, brushing away my hair getting a better view of it and I swear I could still see the anger in his eyes
I placed my index finger under his chin and moved his face so he was looking at me and I cupped his cheek
"I'm ok" I whispered and he just wrapped me In his arms
"I promise you Catherine I won't ever let anyone hurt you again" he whispered and pulled me closer As I buried my face in his chest
~ meanwhile ~
"Sir the planes fuelled and ready to go, where too" the pilot asked as he approached a man who was tall and clean cut with brown hair and eyes that have only ever done and seen evil"
"Portugal...I have a package to collect" he said with a dark expression
Two men along with the pilot boarded the plane
As the last man was entering it the skies above him became dark with clouds and rain, bolts of lightening flashed through the sky
"I warned you...Vincent Keller I will take what I want whether your dead or alive !"The man whispered into the wind before the plane took off and disappeared into the dark sky
Catherine's POV
~ 2 weeks and 6 days later ~
Well my time in Portugal is coming too an end sadly but I have too admit it has most definitely been one of the most memorable times of my life
Over the vacation Tess broke up with her boyfriend sadly so the rest of girls have opted to have a girls night out to take her mind off it and celebrate our last night here and I told them I would go but they declined telling me to spend time with Vincent throwing me a wink if only they new we haven't even had sex yet ever since we decided to give us a chance we do make out a lot and grope each other but he always stops before it can go any further
But tonight we are going out for a romantic dinner just the two of us so who knows tonight could be the night
"Catherine cars here" Vincent hollered up the stairs
"Coming" I replied and gave myself one last look over in the mirror
I chose To wear a red silk strapless dress that stopped a few inches above my knees with a lace top I wore black heels and accompanied it with a black clutch. I let my hair down placing light curls in it that flowed down my back along with a minimal amount of makeup and a red lip to stick out thank god the bruise I got after Evan hit me was nearly gone, when the girls asked me about it I just told them I had fell, they didn't seem too convinced But left the subject alone.
I grabbed my favourite pair of earrings that belonged to my mom and put them on
Now I'm good to go
I left the room and began to walk down the staircase when I reached the end I saw Vincent staring at me with that twinkle in his eyes and showing off his adorable dimples
I walked over toward him and planted a kiss on his lips
"You look mesmerising Catherine, so beautiful" he whispered in my ear and I began to blush
"Well your not so bad yourself" I said noting his attire of black suit pants and a white shirt that had the first couple of buttons undone revealing the top of his chest
"Why thank you" he said and put out his arm"shall we"
"We shall" I replied and let out a giggle looping my arm with his and we walked out, entering the back of the car
When we reached the restaurant we sat at table overlooking the beach as we ordered our good and waited for it to come I started off
"So we're going home tomorrow"
He nod his head
"Where's this going?" I asked point blank and he looked at little caught off guard
"What do you mean?"
"I mean this, us I've really enjoyed the past three weeks but it doesn't seem like you d..." He cut me off
"I did!" He quickly replied and let out a sigh
"Catherine the past three weeks have been the best in my life, but there are things I need to tell you, things you don't know about me that could change how you see me"
"Ok...so tell me" I said and just as he was about to talk the waiter brought us over our food and he just let out a sigh
"Not here, I want to enjoy this dinner with you but later" he said and I nod my head
Over the next hour we talked and laughed but worry still lingered in the back of my mind
What did he have to tell me?
When we were finished our food we left the restaurant and decided to go for a walk on the beach i threw off my shoes and ran toward the the edge of the water
"Catherine slow down" Vincent shouted as he ran after me and picked me up in his arms kissing my lips when he put me back on my feet we walked up the beach with our fingers entwined
"So about my nightmares" I looked up at him "turns out You don't know everything about me either" I said gripping his hand tighter
"About six years ago when my dad started this whole thing that he wanted to become the president he would ...scam money out of people, family's it wasn't until afterwards that I found out about it, I was so disgusted That I wouldn't talk to him for months I told him to give the money back but he just told me not to worry about it as time went on the guilt of what he had done started to eat me alive and at one point I couldn't keep food down and my hair started to fall out I was falling apart and he didn't even see it he didn't even care and of coarse my sister didn't have a problem with it as along as she had the best of everything and was able to flash the cash like she was better then everybody else she was happy I think she actually became closer with him when she found out but I couldn't handle it so I enrolled in NYU and moved to upstate new York to live with my mom months past and everything was going great until one night when we were on our way home from a movie our car got hijacked me and my mom were thrown into the back of a van an driven to some...abandoned wherehouse and were tied up they beat me so bad I couldn't hear..I -I couldn't move" I said tears threatening my eyes but I fought them back and continued "turns out they were people who my dad had scammed and who wanted revenge so one of them picked up my mom off the ground while the other shot her three times in the chest I watched my m-mom bleed out and die and there wasn't a damn thing I could do to stop it" I said my tears flowing down my cheeks
"And then after they pulled her lifeless body out of the room, I never saw her again, then this guy he went by Mk he lit a cigarette and pressed it to my bare back and at this point I didn't really care If I lived or died I had lost the one person who meant everything to me but he didn't think that was enough so he grabbed a knife and stabbed me in the stomach and thats when everything went black, the next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital with know idea of how I got there the following months were rough I started to drink everyday and I didn't talk to anyone but then gabe came into my life the guy from my birthday party I thought he was a friend, wanted to help me but turns out he only wanted one thing and one night he tried to take it but I fought him off knocking him out cold and then there was Evan...turns out that guy can't keep it in his pants" I said with a tired laugh
"And there it is, now you know everything!"
I looked up at Vincent who had tears in his eyes
"Catherine I am so sorry I had no idea you had gone threw so much" he said wrapping me in his arms
"I had never told anyone that before!" I said looking up at him
"I'm glad you told me" he said and pressed his lips to mine
"Let's go back to the villa we've got an early flight tomorrow" I said burying my face in the crook of his neck
"Yeah" he replied, I looked up and saw some tears had run down his face so I brushed them away with my thumb and kissed his cheek
When we walked back to the car we got in and drove back to the villa when we reached the house the lights were off, the girls must still be out I searched threw my bag but couldn't find the key
'Shit!' I must've left it at the restaurant
"Ahh Vincent" I said as we walked toward the door
"Mmhm" he replied looking up at me
"I may...have lost the key" I said and he stopped in his tracks giving me his 'you cannot be serious look' and I just nod my head
"I think Tess hid a key under One of the plants around back I'll just go get it"
"In those heels I don't think so, I'll be right back" he said giving me a quick kiss and then jumped over the fence
As I stood there lost in my thoughts I heard a rustling noise come from the bushes so I walked a little further down the driveway to try and see what it was and when I got closer to it two men walked out and started to come toward me
"I think you two are in the wrong place" I said backing away from them
They both looked at each other and then back at me
"I don't think so" One replied with a crooked smile, there was something vaguely familiar about them
I continued to back away but then Hit into another person when I turned around I couldn't breath it was h-him
"Y-you" I said trapped between the three men
"Yes me..hello Catherine how have you been" the man who addressed himself as Mk said with an evil tone
"H-how did you find me" I asked frozen with fear
"Well darling that's for me to know and you to find out" he said suddenly I heard a loud bang and hit the ground that's when everything went dark.
Vincent POV
~ minutes earlier ~
"In those heels I don't think so, I'll be right back" i said giving Her a quick kiss before jumping over the fence
When I made it to the back of the house there were so many damn plants I took a guess and luckily third times the charm as I grabbed the key and placed it in my pocket I heard a gunshot
"Catherine..." I shouted and ran around to the front of the house when I made it there I saw Catherine on the ground further down the driveway I ran toward her and knelt by her side
"Catherine, Catherine wake up" I said pulling her onto my lap, i noticed she had been shot in the lower abdomen
I put my finger down to her wrist to check her pulse
She had none
"I warned you Vincent if you didn't bring her, I would take her" the familiar voice said and I looked up to see
"Dad!"
sooo Vincent you are in serious trouble and have a lot of explaining to do! What's gonna happen to Catherine?
