**I DO NOT OWN THIS SHOW OR THE CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW, I AM JUST BORROWING THEM**
**This chapter is going to be from Catherine's POV ONLY**
I woke up to an empty bed besides a folded note and a single red rose. I smile at the thought of who left it behind and I sit up and pick up the rose and sniffed it. I laid it back down and picked up the note and it read:
My darling Catherine,
You are so beautiful when your sleeping. I forgot how good it felt to be able to wake up lying next to you. I have an eventful day planned for you today….sort of like a treasure hunt. I have fixed you some coffee, so get showered and dressed comfortably. Your next note will be located under the cup I sat out for you to use. I love you so much babe and no worries, I'll see you soon.
Love Always,
Vincent
Oh my God! What is he up to? Ugh! Why does he have to be so romantic? I am totally blushing right now. I hop out of bed and get into the shower. After my shower I dress into some denim blue shorts and a loose t-shirt. I put my hair up into a pony tail and fix my make-up lightly. When I walk into the kitchen and grab the cup off of the counter, another note laid in its place. I pour myself a cup and grab the note and sat down at the table to read it. This one read:
This was a test note to get you to understand what I was doing for you today. There is a cab waiting for you outside and the driver has your next note. He will not give it to you until you have reached your first destination and completed your task. He will be your cab driver the remainder of the day, and don't worry about paying him…I already took care of that. Have fun.
Love,
Vincent
Okay, he is seriously killing me with these notes. I am anxious to know where I am going. I finish my cup of coffee and grab my keys. I locked the house as I walked out and I entered the cab. "Where are we going exactly?" I asked, hoping the driver would tell me.
"Mr. Keller told me not to answer any questions. Just enjoy the ride."
Ugh! Why did I agree to do this? I mean yeah, I'm smiling right now but sheesh! This is all so sweet of him and romantic. I can't wait to see what he has in store for me.
As the cab came to a complete stop, the driver turned around and said, "We're here Mrs. Chandler. I'll be out here waiting for you."
"Thank you!"
I get out and see that Vincent has brought me to a spa. I squint my eyes at the driver and he shrugs then I close the cab door and walk inside.
"Hi, can I help you?" a woman asked.
"Uhm…actually my boyfriend sent me here…."
"OHHH! You must be Catherine then. Come on, I'll take you to the back to get a massage."
VINCENT KELLER I'M GOING TO HURT YOU! I thought to myself, and I followed behind the little woman.
When I undressed, and laid flat onto my stomach on the massage bed, the little woman returned with a variety of lotions and oils. I must admit this was truly relaxing and lovely of Vincent to do this for me.
As I left the shop and entered the cab, the driver handed me a note…it read,
Your probably wondering why I have sent you to a spa. I have my reasons….good ones in fact. The driver will be taking you to your next destination and I think that you will enjoy this one. It's going to be fun. Put your thinking cap on cause your going to need it.
As Always, I love you!
Vincent
I let out a slight laugh and look up at the driver as he asks, "So how was your visit at the spa?"
"No questions, remember?" I said as I laughed again.
He drove for maybe 5 minutes before reaching my next destination. A school? I thought to myself…what are you doing Vincent? Why am I at a school?
I look at the driver and say, "I know I'm not supposed to ask questions, but how do I know where I am supposed to go?"
"He put up signs." He said as he pointed at the first sign outside of the school.
I get out and walk up towards the school and stand there momentarily. I take a deep breathe in and walk inside to follow the signs. They lead me to a classroom with about 10 kids inside. There ages varied anywhere from 15-17 years old. The teacher greeted me and said, "Please sit near the blackboard…the class has a few questions for you….this is a little fun quiz that Mr. Keller put together for you."
This is too adorable….I think I'll have to still kill Vincnet though. How did he come up with all of this? And for me? God, I love him!
"Q #1: Where did you and Vincent first meet?"
I smile and respond, "My car broke down in front of our apartment building at the time and he asked me if he could look at it."
"Correct!" said the teacher…..and I couldn't help but laugh at the idea of how sweet this was.
"Q #2: Where was your first date?"
"Well, we was supposed to go out for coffee but my dad had made plans to go out to dinner with me and my sister…so I went to dinner instead. But, Vincent came by my apartment that evening after and brought me a coffee then. We talked most of the night, so to me that was kind of our first date."
"Right again!" the teacher exclaimed.
"Q #3: When was your first kiss?"
"I was supposed to go to France to go to an Art School that I had been accepted into and while I waited for them to call my flight, Vincent popped up and told me he loved me and how he wished I wouldn't go….then he kissed me there at the airport and I must admit, it took me by surprise."
"Very good!"
The teens continued their questions, and I actually enjoyed myself a lot.
Once they finished their questions, I thanked them as I left.
I walked outside and entered the cab. Again, the driver handed me another note. This one read,
See? Told ya it would be fun.
I'm sure your getting hungry by now, which is a good thing because your next
destination you will get to eat. I hope you have a
pretty good appetite built up cause you will be eating a lot.
Love you babe,
Vincent
I'm starting to miss being around him now….I have went a half of a day without him and it's beginning to kill me. Sighs….I am feeling a bit hungry right now, so I guess it won't hurt.
Once we arrive, I notice that it's the restaurant that we had planned to go to dinner the night I had surrendered myself to him. I slightly bite my lip as I thought about that night and I get out and go inside. I noticed that the place is empty…not one customer around. I was seated at a little table with a single lit candle and 3 different dishes sat before me.
"Excuse me….but am I supposed to eat all 3?"
"Yes ma'am. Well, you don't have to eat all of each one…but you do have to try one of each. Mr. Keller is trying to figure out which one is your favorite." Said the waiter.
They were all pasta dishes, one was a chicken alfredo with a creamy sauce and parmesan on top and a slice of garlic bread. I tried it and oh my god it was to die for! Next was ravioli stuffed with cheese and stripped pork topped with a creamy tomato pesto sauce and spices, also with a slice of garlic bread. It literally melted in my mouth. Lastly, there was a spaghetti and Italian sausage meatball dinner with a thick tomato sauce topped with parmesan and spices. No bread was with this one, but it was fantastic. I couldn't help but go back to the ravioli….it truly was my favorite and I think the waiter figured that out too.
After I ate lunch and wrote down my favorite, I left and got into the cab. Instead of a note, the driver handed me a phone and told me Vincent was on there. I smiled and took the phone and said, "What are you up to Vincent? Why are you doing all of this for me?"
"A simple hello would have been nice….Have I told you that I love you today?"
"Vincent, seriously….why are you doing all of this?"
"Because your worth it. You deserve days like this."
"Yeah but….I wish you was here enjoying it with me. I miss you."
He briefly got quiet and then said, "You have only 2 more destinations left…..you don't have to do them if you don't want to but, then the driver can't bring you to me if you don't. He's the only one who knows where I am."
"Are you bribing me?" I said with a giggle.
"Maybe…is it working?"
"Of course it is! I'll finish this romantic thing out….but only because you planned it for me. I love you Vincent."
"You know I love you….I'll see you soon."
We hung up and the driver began to drive. He got a call, I suspected it was Vincent when he said, "Yes Sir." before hanging up and turning on some music. The song was I Will Be by Avril Lavigne. It made me think about Vincent and how much we love each other. I mean yeah we have had our downs in the relationship, but what couple doesn't? Nobody is perfect….everybody has flaws and people argue but, that is the beauty of being with somebody….and if that someone is truly meant to be with you, it will always work out and your love will find a way to bring you both back together. This love between me and Vincent, it was real and so strong. We were completely crazy about each other and our hearts always pulled back together….stronger than ever.
Once we arrived at the next destination, I was kind of puzzled as to why it was our house. Why did he bring me back here? The driver turned around and handed me another note and it read,
Go inside, and get ready into something more formal.
Your next destination I will be meeting you at for us to share a date. I'm sure you will look
absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see you my love.
Yours Forever,
Vincent
I hop out of the taxi and I run inside. I showered and rubbed my body down with sweet pea lotion. I dressed into a teal green dress with tiny gemstones on the front. It was strapless but tied around the neck. The skirt came up to knees and was kind of wavy. I fixed my makeup to match my dress, light green shadow, black eyeliner, mascara, and a clear lip-gloss. I dried my hair and put up into a perfect bun with a few loose strands dangling to show off my shoulders and then I put on some white heals. I rechecked myself in the mirror and tried to call Tess. She didn't answer her phone, so I tried to call JT to see if she was there…he too didn't answer. As a matter of fact, I haven't received a call from anybody today but Vincent the one time. Did everybody fall off of the face of the Earth suddenly? Maybe it was just a busy day today. Who knows….
I walked back out of the house, locked the door, and headed for the taxi. The driver handed me a glass of wine and a blindfold. "What's the blindfold for?"
"Mr. Keller has requested that you put it on until he gives word for you to take it off." He said.
I sighed and handed him back the wine glass and put on the blindfold. It felt weird being inside of a moving vehicle with a blindfold on…not knowing where I was going.
When the car finally came to a complete stop, my heart began to race. It was almost like I could feel him close by. I heard the car door open and I felt a hand take mine and guide me out of the car. I heard the car door shut and the car pull away. There was a light cool breeze that felt so good on my skin as my blood pressure continued to rise. "Vincent?" I asked in hopes that he would take this blindfold off, but of course I didn't get a response.
Finally I felt the blindfold release in grip and I reached up to take it off and opened my eyes. We was at the airport near the airstrip and I saw Tess….JT…Dad…..Bernice and even Heather?
"Oh my God!" I said as I reached out to hug my sister. I missed her so much and it was truly amazing to get to see her. Dad reached his arms out to me and hugged me as he said into my ear, "I love you darling…..you know Vincent is the one who brought us here and he asked me if he could have your hand in marriage…."
"Wait…what? I thought we were already engaged?"
I spun around to have my breath taken away from me as I saw Vincent knelt down on one knee holding an open ring box with a beautiful diamond wedding band.
"Vincent? What are you doing?"
"Catherine I love you. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I want to marry you….."
"You already asked me that….I told you I woul…..
"No…..That is why everybody is here tonight. I have packed your bags and they are inside that plane over there…..if you agree to marry me...then I want nothing more than to marry you tonight. That plane is going to take us to our honeymoon if you want to. Today's events was to prepare you for our wedding…..the spa to help relax you…..the quiz to help remind you how much we love each other…..the lunch was to pick out your favorite meal for the reception dinner here at the very place that I first kissed you and fell in love with you even more. Will you do me the honor and marry me?"
I smiled as tears fell down my face….I knelt down on both of my knees and I cupped his face, "I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life sharing things with you and loving you with everything in me. Of course I'll marry you!"
A preacher appeared and I began laughing as I looked at Vincent and said, "What if I had said no?"
"Then I guess I would have to marry myself….I am pretty good looking."
I playfully slapped his arm as we all laughed. Heather walked up and handed me a bouquet of red roses as the preacher began preaching. I looked at Vincent, as he looked at me and he mouthed, "I love you." to me and I mouthed back, "I love you too."
"Do you Vincent take this woman to be your wedded wife, through sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, as long as you both shall live?"
"Forever and Always!"
"Do you Catherine take this man to be your wedded husband, through sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, as long as you both shall live?"
"Always and Forever!"
Vincent placed my ring on my finger and I looked up in a panic because I didn't have a ring for him. He smiled as Tess tapped on my shoulder and handed me a ring to place onto his finger.
"With the power invested in me, and in the state of New York….I now pronounce you husband and wife. Vincent, you may now kiss your bride."
I wrap my arms around his neck and his snake around my waist and began kissing passionately. Tess, JT, and Heather started whooing us and we started laughing.
After we ate and said our goodbyes, we walked hand in hand to the plane. I have no idea where he is taking me, but I know that it will be great because today in general was just perfect….and it ended with Vincent as my husband.
