Chapter Twenty
Los Angeles' Snow Miracle
Beck watched the girl he adored more than life itself sleep on his chest with complete peace. He kept to his word. He never left her side since they brought her home 2 weeks ago. Jade insisted that Cat move in with Beck and Andre, and Tori was going to move in with her, much to her dismay. So immediately they did so, Cat didn't seem to mind. She returned to class the following Monday they found her and hadn't missed a day since.
Beck ran his fingers through her hair, staring at her innocent face. "I love you so much." He whispered lightly, kissing her forehead lovingly.
"I love you too." Her little voice startled him a bit.
Beck chuckled lightly. "Why aren't you asleep, missy?"
Cat's eyes fluttered open before looking up at him from her comfortable spot on his chest. "I don't want to sleep."
"And why not?"
"It's daytime." Cat stated cutely. "I want to spend time with you in the daytime."
Beck leaned down and kissed her lips. "Well what do you want to do?"
"Can we go get food?" She asked.
"You bet." Beck kissed the top of her head before getting out of bed before she did. He felt her wrapped her slim arms around his torso, stopping him in his tracks. He smiled. "What's wrong, my girl?" Cat had been extra affectionate to him ever since they had found her up in those snowy mountains days and days ago. Beck obviously wasn't the only one who never wanted to let Cat out of his sight. She wanted to be with him as much as he did for her.
"I just love you." Cat said. "I'm scared to let you go."
Beck rubbed his thumbs over her hands and sighed. "I'm not leaving you."
"How do you know?" She sounded like she was about to cry. "You can't control what happens. We didn't know I would get kidnapped, but I did." And that's when he felt the tears on his bare back her face was resting on. "I don't want to be separated from you again. I was so sad and scared when I was down in that cold cellar. I just wanted to see you and I wanted you to hold me and keep me warm forever. It was the worst feeling on the planet because…I thought you'd never find me. I'm sorry I doubted you. I'm a horrible girlfriend."
Beck turned around and her arms didn't leave him as he put his hands on either side of her face. "You're not a horrible girlfriend. Cat, you had no idea where you were, so I don't blame you for thinking nobody could find you. Even with our powerful bond, I still couldn't feel where you were. It broke my heart, but it's sadly true. I didn't know if you were being hurt, cold, or starved, which you were for all."
"But you knew I was alive, right?" Cat asked with hope. "You never would've given up on me, right?"
"Never in a million years, Kitten." Beck leaned down kissing top of her nose. "I'd die without you in my life. I still don't understand how I did could breathe for 17 years before we became a couple, which was the best day of my life. Now that I have you though, there was no way I'd ever be able to go on with you not in my arms. I couldn't fathom the idea."
Suddenly Cat burst into tiny sobs and leaned again his toned chest and tightening her hold around his body. Beck's heart broke for her, so his hands left her face to wrap around her little body that he was still shocked people had the nerve to touch and hurt. He couldn't let this petite angel get abused like that ever again. It's sick that there are perverts out there that would literally harm the 5'2'', 90 pounds girl.
"No one is going to hurt you ever again." Beck whispered into her ear.
"Promise?" Her voice asked, being muffled by his chest.
"I promise." And he smiled. "And we don't break promises, do we?"
"Nope!" Cat squealed, looking up at him.
Beck laughed and kissed her forehead. "Let's get changed and go get something to eat, my love."
"Kay-Kay!"
Beck shook his head. Oh, that moody girl…but he wouldn't change a thing about his sweet angel.
…
Beck kissed Cat's cheek at Merle's Diner. "Since we ordered already, I'm going to go to the bathroom, baby." Cat nodded. "I'll be right back." He slid out of the booth and rushed to the bathroom so she wouldn't be alone longer than he wanted her to be.
Cat took out her phone and went on TheSlap, updating her status and looking at everyone else's.
…
WHAT'S NEW ON TheSLAP?
Cat Valentine: At dinner with my protective fiancée! :) :) :) I'm sooooo hungry! Status: SUPER HUNGRY!
Jade West – Going to shave Vega's head tonight while she sleeps… Status: Peeved
Tori Vega – Fearing for my hairs life! I LOVE MY HAIR! :( Status: DYING INSIDE
Andre Harris – Going on a date with some sexy woman…different girl than last night :) Status: Single n' Lovin' It!
Robbie Shapiro – I still don't understand why people think it's weird that I like to watch animated movies… Status: Misunderstood
Beck Oliver – I'm deeply in love with my sweet angel so note to all guys: back off, she's mine! Status: Perfectly Content
…
She smiled to herself. Beck updated his status when she was in the shower earlier. Her friends' statuses were hilarious. She was worried that Jade and Tori wouldn't do great as roommates…and they have proved her right. Let's hope Tori won't be bald tomorrow morning…Cat thought Tori's hair was pretty and soft, so she wouldn't really look nice with no hair at all. Tori's pretty and all, but even she couldn't pass that off.
"What are you smiling about, gorgeous?" Beck asked in an amused tone, sliding back in next to her.
"Just on TheSlap." Cat put her phone away and smiled at him. "I personally loved your status, although the others have funny ones too."
Beck chuckled. "My status speaks the truth."
"Oh, I know that." Cat giggled and Beck leaned down to capture her lips for a small kiss. "Can we just get married already?" She pouted.
Beck shook his head. "We have only been engaged for not even 3 weeks, love. Give it a few months and enjoy planning the wedding. I know Tori and Jade have been wanting to."
"Yes, yes, they have." Cat sighed. "My parents and your parents are constantly telling me to give them an amount on the wedding materials and pretty much everything related to it and they'll give me that money…why do they want to pay for it?"
"Probably because they have been waiting for this day since the day we became a couple." Beck grinned. "I know my parents have. They were always pushing me to ask you for your hand in marriage, but I always had cold feet. And speaking of hand, we need to go ring shopping for your engagement ring."
"I don't want to." Cat frowned. "Surprise me."
"Cat, you know I suck at that." Beck told her. "I proposed to you in a damn hospital bed after you were stabbed and I had the shit beaten out of me."
At the mention of that dreadful few days, Cat looked away and snaked her body from his protective hold.
Beck almost cried. He forgot she absolutely hated the mention of what happened to him. She doesn't mind her being stabbed, but she completely always died inside when she thinks about the gang attack they faced…blaming herself. No matter what anybody told her, including the police, it wasn't her fault. Cat didn't listen though. She told him that if she would just get her own car, he wouldn't have been hurt. The thought of Cat being at the gas station alone though sent pure terror through his veins.
He shrugged the feeling off and put a hand on her shoulder. "Cat."
"It's okay." She whispered, attempting not to break into tears in the semi-busy restaurant. "I know what you're saying." She took a deep breath and forced a smile, but her eyes were glassed over with tears. "And yes, you are horrible at surprises." She giggled lightly. She slid herself back over to him and cuddled up to him, and he gladly took her back into his arms, thanking God she silently forgave him.
He wanted to completely change the subject. "So how did the girls do last night at your dance class?"
Cat sighed deeply. "They drive me absolutely bonkers. They don't work as a team and they refuse to even try. Ugh…I'm about to pull my hair out. I don't know what to do. I mean…how do girls that age have such snotty attitudes? They're between the ages of 6-10 years old. When I was their age and if I ever talked to my dance teacher the way they talk to me, I would've been kicked out of class!"
"Dang, Cat, I could never have your job." Beck chuckled, but when Cat gave him a look, he quickly stopped and cleared his throat. "I mean that your profession is very troublesome, but I think that only you can handle this in the end. You can get through this."
"Good save." Cat mumbled, poking his muscled chest.
"Hey, have you used that 1,000 dollar gift card to the Beverly Center yet?" Beck asked suddenly.
Cat blinked. "Oh…no, actually, I have not." She gasped and looked to him. "I know you work on Saturday, but can we please, please, please go there after you get off? PLEASEE?"
Beck kissed her head. "I work 7am-11am, so we'll go right after."
"Can it be just the two of us?" Cat asked innocently. "I love our friends and all, but lately, I just have wanted it to be me and you, with no one else…is that selfish and bratty of me?"
"Not one bit." Beck told her to reassure her. "I feel the same exact way, but it's whatever you want and feel comfortable with, Kitten."
Cat sighed in relief and kissed his lips. "Yay."
Suddenly, Darla came up with a smile. "Here are your chicken tenders with fries!" She put the foot in front of the couple. "There are extra fries for you guys AND when you're done, there's a free dessert waiting for you. And let me get you a free refill on that milkshake. Do you want another flavor?"
Beck's jaw dropped at the news. Cat squealed. "Can we get chocolate?"
"Coming right up, sweetcheeks!" Darla exclaimed. "Anything for Los Angeles' Snow Miracle!" And she skated off.
Cat blushed. "Hehe. I like that title."
"It's true though, Cat." Beck said in a serious tone. "You are the Los Angeles' Snow Miracle. Everyone searched everywhere for you. Even people that had no clue you existed helped the search teams. Handing out flyers, t-shirts, and poster boards with your face, name, and Missing Person's phone number on them. Searching through the forests, lakes, and even Skid Row. And so much more. Cat, you are so precious to the world. And when you were found up in the snowy mountains with 4 days of no eating or warmth…dang, it was a miracle."
Cat had tears of happiness. "I love you so much, Beck. I'm so happy to be alive and in your arms."
Beck even wanted to cry, but held back his tears as Darla brought their chocolate milkshake with double the cherries and whip cream on top. "Thank you." Beck said kindly before she skated off. "And I love you, Cat Valentine…someday soon, Cat Oliver."
Cat smiled. "That has a ring to it, doesn't it?"
"Yes, yes, it does." Beck and Cat ate their food, as Cat practically inhaled hers, still being so hungry from her time with absolute starvation, Beck smiled at his pride and joy, which was her.
He had his girl back…and was never letting her go.
Preview For Chapter 21: Stupid Jade
"Cat."
He received no answer as she continued her mission.
"Cat, are you sure you want to do this?" He asked her, not wanting the sensation to stop, but he had to make sure she was really okay.
Cat sat up and stared at him, so he removed his hand from her shirt. "Beck…I feel so unbeautiful."
"Why?"
"We haven't made love in over a month." Cat began crying again. "I feel that I don't attract you anymore."
"You do." Beck tried to convince her. "Oh, Cat, you do, trust me. I'm just worried about you."
"Beck, I promise you with all my heart that Josh didn't touch me. He didn't do anything." Cat sniffled. "He didn't taint me. I'm still yours and only yours."
"Cat-"
Before anything could be said, Cat jumped off him and ran to the bathroom.
Random Fact about DA: I've seriously already began planning out my son's first birthday party with a few of my friends. It's probably going to be the most fabulous birthday ever for an infant…no lie. He's only 6 months old too.
