Beauty & the Beast doesn't belong to me, if does Jay Ryan would be shirtless a lot more and Vincent would have been the same of the first nine episodes. The Cw you better get us season 2. English is not my first language, so any typo or grammar mistakes (I don't use google), please let me know.
Ok this is the last time i'll go back and forth. This chapter happend the next day of the first chapter.
Enjoy!
They say it's impossible to find love without losing the reason,
But for those ones who have strong thought, the impossible is just a matter of opinion (Chalir Brown Jr - Só os loucos sabem - Only the crazy ones know)
"So, what now?" Vincent asked a few moments later.
Catherine sighed "I don't know. Tess and Evan know you, they saw your picture in the police station…We can fool ourselves thinking everything is ok, because it's not."
"I know you are worried, but I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about you and me. Where that leaves us?"
Catherine looked at his eyes "You tell me."
Vincent smiled "I would like to think I'm your boyfriend now."
"I like the way that sounds!" Catherine smiled and kissed him.
They were enjoying each other's company, unfortunately he would have to leave; sooner or later Heather or worst Evan would show up.
"Since you told Tess you were out of town, I think we are safe for the next couple of weeks."
"A good boyfriend wouldn't leave his girl alone for so long after been shot." Vincent murmured.
"They don't need to think you are a good boyfriend" Catherine said serious "Vincent I would love to introduce you to them. But we can't! It's too dangerous for you!"
"I know." He took a deep breath "I just wish this was easier"
"I do too." She said simply.
"You never promised." Vincent murmured and Catherine looked at him confused.
"Promise what?"
"I ask you to promise that you wouldn't push me away. I want to show you Catherine that I'm in this. That I want this…us."
Catherine took a deep breath "Vincent I promise that I will try. You have to understand that I'm not used to this. I'm used to deal with things on my own; it's not something that I can change easy. But I promise I will try, ok?"
"Thank you!" he kissed her and then sighed.
"I have to go, your sister is coming." He hugged her "I will see you tonight!"
"Bye!" she said and after that he was gone.
Five minutes later Heather was walking into the apartment, she looked at her sister ashamed and regret in her eyes. "I'm so sorry; I should have been more careful with my words and you know… everything."
Heather came to the couch and hugged her sister "I know you have been through a lot and…"
"Don't worry. And by the way, I'm sorry too." Catherine took a deep breath "I'm not used to this. And I know I'm not the easiest person to deal with, especially, right now. I will try, ok?"
"Ok!" Heather smiled "So, Tess told me that Vincent Zalanski exist, why did you lie to me?"
'Here it goes' Catherine thought "We had a fight before Dad's wedding and I thought we were over"
"Tess said he was really worried about you. "she said punching her sister in the shoulder.
"HEATHER!" Catherine screamed "Please be careful!"
"Sorry, sorry!" Heather said and looking to her sister's face she finally realized that something was wrong.
"What's up Cat? It's something bothering you, what is it?"
"I..I don't know. Vincent and I we helped each other to get out some really dark places, and…"
"You are worried this isn't real?" Heather held her sister hand, really concerned for her.
"It doesn't mean that is good."
"Listen, I know, been at home is driving you crazy, why after doctor Sexy says you are ok, you don't ask for a few days and take a trip."
"Doctor sexy?" Catherine said laughing "You mean Evan."
"You understood. The point is, take a few days for yourself, I would say that I would go with you, but I have a feeling you need to do this on your own or maybe with Vincent too."
"Maybe you are right. But like you I have a feeling Evan won't let me out of his sights so easy."
"Yeah, that's all you. You shouldn't have left the hospital and go to help that nurse. It was reckless and irresponsible."
"I know!"
"I going to take a shower, if you need anything just scream ok?"
Catherine nodded and her conversation with her sister was still on her head. Actually, it was a good idea take a few days to her…And since her last weekend vacation with Vincent didn't happen, maybe he could go with her.
When the night came Vincent was waiting for Evan leave, just like the other night. The British doctor was making the dressing AGAIN. Vincent was grateful for all Evan had done. But it didn't diminish the fact that Evan has feelings for Catherine and see him touching her like that… was driving Vincent crazy.
"So, I have a question." Catherine said when Evan was ready to leave.
"No, Catherine we can't make out…yet." He said laughing.
"You think you are so funny. Seriously, since I'm doing well…I'm going to ask Joe for a few days off. I need to get out of here, before I have to face a shrink. Would you…"
"You want me to go with you? Catherine I 'm flattered but…"
"No!" she almost screamed "Actually I need to be by myself, can you please tell Joe that I'm ok for that? I don't want to make anything to prolong my time on the desk."
"Anything for you, sweetheart!" Evan responded kissing her on the cheek.
And Vincent almost screamed, ok Evan saved her life, but he already knows Catherine has a boyfriend. He should have stopped with the whole flirting thing.
"Thank you for everything." Catherine smiled to him and Vincent thought he was going to be sick.
After what seemed hours to Vincent, Evan finally left and since he saw no signs of Heather he made his appearance. "I thought he was going to be here forever."
Catherine laughed "Are you jealous, Mr. Keller?"
"Yes!" he shrugged and Catherine looked at him in shock. Not in a million years he thought she would see a guy confessing he was jealous. "I mean, he kissed you and he likes you A LOT and…"
"And…" she put left arm through his neck, she didn't even tried to raise the right arm.
"And he can give you the normal life I want for you."
"I already told you, who said I want a normal life?" Catherine answered kissing him.
"Let's go to my bedroom, Heather will be home soon."
"You know, I'm not that easy." Vincent joked and Catherine laughed
"Please, not you too."
They got into her bedroom and Vincent sat on his bed, "So I heard you want to leave town for a while…"
"Actually I have a question for you."
"I'm all ears"
Catherine sat next to him "My family…actually Heather and I have this cabin. My mom left to us and I was thinking it would be a good idea get out of here for a few days. And since our last trip couldn't happen, I thought maybe you could go with me. "
"Let me get this straight, a few days, without worrying about anything, just enjoy with you…when we are leaving?" Vincent was really excited and Catherine was really happy to see him like that.
"I will call Joe in the morning, as soon as he say yes, we can go."
"I can wait for that" Vincent murmured before kiss her.
"Me either."
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact. (Henry James)
That was short, but I hope you liked. Actually I would update a totally different chapter, but I received this review and I had a great idea. Do you remember that Vincent and Catherine were going to a trip before he black out again? I thought why not write about this?
Let's just hope I can put in the paper all the idea I'm having right now. Thank you so much for all of you that reviewed, put this on alert or/and your favorites.
