AN- Hey guys! So here is the next chapter, I fully give credit to the film '10 Things I hate about you' for the inspiration/idea I had writing this chapter! I am also really sorry the update has taken so long! I've been super busy and had absolutely no motivation to write! As always I hope you enjoy and review!

- PAGE BREAK…

Vincent groaned and ran his hands over his face as he lay out on the couch looking across the room at JT. "Man what am I supposed to do? It's driving me crazy hiding out here for my 'safety' and I've done everything I can think of to try and get her to forgive me."

JT laughed softly from where he was working through some papers. Vincent hadn't even lasted 24 hours without coming to him for help to try and get Catherine to accept his apology. "What do you expect man, if you didn't piss her off enough already you then went and embarrassed her in front of the entire nation by draping yourself all over Tori Windsor. You have to remember that if she works for you again now she is probably going to look like a mug."

"Then what am I supposed to do JT?" Vincent sighed. He wasn't used to women giving him this much trouble usually all he had to do was smile and them and they melted into his waiting arms.

"You are going to have to embarrass yourself the way that you embarrassed her. You can't use the fact you're famous and have lots of money to solve this one V."

Vincent paused for a second as he thought over his best friends words, of course he knew that JT was right but he just wasn't sure what exactly he was supposed to do to get her attention. He couldn't just waltz up to the FBI building and solve this there because then people would realise that she wasn't who they thought. If he wanted to do this he was going to need some help. "Hey JT, do you have that girls Tess' number?" Vincent asked sitting up smirking at how he looked around uncomfortably. "I'm not blind JT hand the number over."

- PAGE BREAK…

Catherine looked around her office and sighed as she took in the different bouquets of flowers. It had gotten so bad that she had started to give them to other women in the building to put in their offices. "Tell me again the two of you shared a fully platonic relationship." Tess grinned across at Catherine as he played with one of the fallen petals.

"We did. We shared like one kiss and in case you didn't see those pictures in the newspaper he clearly has no trouble bouncing back from rejection. He's just doing this because he wants protection." Catherine answered as she flicked through the case files which had been placed on her desk. Tess rolled her eyes at her best friend and tried to hide her smirk, it was obvious that Cat was worked up over him and to be honest she couldn't blame the girl, he was gorgeous, she just couldn't believe that Catherine would ever get so ruffled. "You know its ok to have a little fun on the job. Let yourself have a little bit of fun for a change."

"Tess I can't do that. If I do agree to go back to work for him it will be strictly professional."

"Oh… so you are going to go back are you?" Tess teased her. "What happened to never working for him again?"

"I don't know he's just…. There all the time and he is annoyingly cute when he is begging for forgiveness."

"So you are going to go back then."

"Probably. I have this case but dad could give it to someone else. I don't think Vincent is going to stop until he gets what he wants from me."

"Oh yea and what's that?"

"Tess! God do you ever think about things other than sex."

"Maybe… then again maybe not. But anyway if you know you are going to go back what are you waiting for?

Catherine smirked at her best friend across the room over her shoulder. "To see just how far he is going to take this."

"You're evil Catherine Chandler." Tess grinned as she felt her phone buzzing. Seeing the name JT she frowned. "Cat I'll be right back I just have to take this."

- PAGE BREAK…

Vincent wiped his hands on his jeans as he stood in the crowed area. He was currently stood outside Catherine's favourite local café with a microphone at the ready and JT to his side ready to film. This was probably a dumb ass move and he had no idea how the silly cap he had on was keeping him from being recognised. Taking a large breath Vincent nodded at JT and the music began playing. Lifting the microphone to his lips Vincent kept his eyes on Catherine who was sat just where she should be enjoying lunch with Tess.

"You're just too good to be true, Can't take my eyes off of you, You'd be like heaven to touch." Vincent began singing into the microphone, as he sung you could clearly hear the nerves in his voice which were ironic with his fame. "I wanna hold you so much, At long last love has arrived, And I thank God I'm alive, You're just too good to be true, Can't take my eyes off of you." Vincent watched as Catherine stood hearing the music along with everyone else in the crowd and made her way out to find the source. Slowly he pulled the cap off of his head praying that people wouldn't swarm him and would just standing to watch.

Catherine looked for the source of the music a smile on her lips as she pushed through the crowds to see, whoever this was he certainly had a romantic streak that should make any girl swoon. She saw his legs first and it didn't take long for her eyes to travel up his delicious body and spot his face which was staring directly at her. At first she froze for a second and forgot that he was the celebrity Vincent Keller her mind only being able to process the fact he was serenading her. It didn't take long for the cop in her to take over and she was quickly pulling him off of the stage holding him close as she looked around for threats. "Vincent what are you doing?" Catherine hissed as she grabbed his face trying to keep it smiling like she was a happy girl.

"JT said I had to do something crazy to get your attention."

"Not put a beacon on your head for the murder Vincent god." Catherine warned him before looking clearly at his face which was a picture of happiness.

"What are you smirking at?" Cat asked before she looked around. There were photographers everywhere, people were cheering them and she was back in the strong arms she had admittedly missed.

"So does this mean you'll come back?" Vincent grinned down at her unable to wipe the smile off of his face even if she was angry at him still; anger which he could see slowly slipping away.

"Are you going to keep risking your life if I don't?"

"Probably."

Catherine looked up at him with a scowl but she already knew she would do it. "Fine, now can we go before someone shoots you?" She smiled up at him shaking her head.

"Sure." Vincent answered her with a satisfied smirk as JT pulled his car up beside them. "Let's go."
