Chapter 2

When Caitlin and String got back to the apartment, Saint John was there waiting for them.

"I didn't think you'd ever get back," said Saint John. "I got a call from the studio. We have two days to learn our lines for the first scene."

"That shouldn't be too hard," teased Caitlin. "There's more action in that scene than words."

Saint John laughed. "Yeah and the director wants to meet with us to go over the choreography."

"Sounds interesting," said String sarcastically.

Saint John and Caitlin both looked at String. "You're okay with this aren't you?" asked Saint John. "You know it's all just for the movie?"

"Yeah, like the first time we kissed," said Caitlin. "It didn't mean anything."

String sighed. "I know it didn't mean anything," he teased as he winked at Caitlin. "That didn't make it any less fun. Just don't have too much fun with it big brother."

"Don't worry," said Saint John. I'm just excited about having a part in a movie."

String couldn't help but think back to the time he kissed Caitlin when she was doing her first helicopter stunt. It was platonic but he knew he enjoyed kissing her and couldn't help but notice what a good kisser she really was. He wasn't quite sure how he felt about his brother getting his chance to kiss her but he decided he would be mature about it since it was just for a part in a movie.

Caitlin and Saint John practiced the few lines they had and seemed to have them memorized quite quickly.

"You know," said Caitlin. "It's like the characters are foreshadowing their own deaths."

"I get that vibe too," said Saint John. "I wish I we could read the rest of the script. I've heard they've already started filming other parts. Oh and I forgot to tell you about that."

"About what?" asked Caitlin.

"They wanted to make sure we wouldn't pull out of the roles when they called earlier," he replied. "It seems that there have been some odd accidents on the set. They've hired extra security and don't want any of the actors worried."

"What kind of accidents?" asked String.

"They wouldn't go into detail except one actress got third degree burns on her hands and another broke a toe," replied Saint John.

"I'm sure we'll be fine," said Caitlin. "What kind of danger can we get into by lying in a bed?"

Saint John laughed, "I can think of some things."

String smacked his brother on the shoulder. "Yeah, well get those things out of your head," he joked. "This is my girl. But in all seriousness, I want to be around when you do the air stunt. I'll feel better if Dom and I are the ones to check things out."

"I agree," said Caitlin. "So, no worries okay?"

String pulled her close and kissed her. "Okay," he replied. "Since you two seem to have a handle on these lines, how about going up to the cabin with me tonight?"

Caitlin pulled back from him. "I'm sorry String," she replied. "Can I have a rain check? I'm not up to it tonight."

Caitlin could tell he was disappointed although he tried hard not to show it. "Alright," he said. "I guess I'll be heading home. I'll see you at work tomorrow."

Caitlin walked him outside and kissed him goodnight. "I promise I'll go another night," she assured him as he left.

When she got back into the apartment, Caitlin plopped back down on the couch and picked up the script to review again before tossing it on the coffee table. Saint John joined her and turned on the television.

"What are you doing Cait?" he asked.

"Uh, I'm sitting here watching television with you," she smirked.

"No, I mean with String?" he continued. "You're pushing him away. I can see it. I just don't get why."

Caitlin sighed and took the remote from Saint John. She turned off the television and turned to look at him.

"I don't know," she replied. "Suddenly, the thought of being with him scares me."

Saint John took his hand and lightly touched her arm. "Cait, that doesn't make any sense," he replied. "You were engage. I know you love him."

"I do love him," she replied. "I'm just not sure that he truly loves me. I mean come on Saint John. Look at the other women he's dated. I'm nothing like them. The moment someone came along that looked liked Gabrielle, he forgot all about me and kissed her."

"He wasn't thinking," said Saint John. "People make mistakes, you know. He's human."

"I know that," she replied. "I guess I lost a little bit of confidence when it comes to our relationship. How do I know that someone else from his past won't come back and he'll want them more than me? Or someone better comes along and he regrets being with me. I sat back for so long and wanted him to notice me but there were always these other women. They were all so worldly and different than me. He always noticed them and not me. It wasn't until I was going away that he seemed to realize I was there."

Saint John smiled. "Caitlin, I believe he's with you because you're not like those other women. He was attracted to them because he wasn't looking for a future with them. You're the girl next door type. That's the type of woman my brother wants to spend the rest of his life with. Hell, that's what I'm looking for. Don't think I'm not jealous of you two."

Caitlin smiled. She leaned over and kissed Saint John on the cheek. "I hope you're right," she said. "Don't worry. One day you'll find her."
