I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 18

Vincent sat on the side of his bed. He thought about what Catherine had said and she was right. They did need to go on a date soon. He thought about her profile that she filled out for the Sabrina Myer case a while back. Dinner on a roof top and hanging on on a fire escape was what she put down for her ideal date so that's what he was going to do. And he knew just what roof top to have dinner on. Half of him felt guilty that they couldn't go out to a nice restaurant and have dinner but he knew considering the event that happened with Gabe a few nights ago he figured that wouldn't be the best thing to do. Especially with him on Catherine's case about everything.

He got up and went over to where he kept his doctor equipment. He wasn't a fan on doing tests on himself but he knew he had to.

While he was trying to focus on his heart beat while checking his blood pressure he couldn't completely focus. He kept finding himself thinking about Catherine.

He tried to find what was going on but he didn't find a single thing wrong. Maybe J.T. was right. It was probably just PTSD. A lot has happened the past few days.

J.T. grabbed his bag and put it over his shoulder getting ready to head back to the warehouse. He thought about how Vincent has not had beast out moments while he is hallucinating or stressing out. He hoped he was right that it was just PTSD and the fact he wasn't beasting out was a good thing. But somehow he didn't have himself very convinced.

He took a deep breath before walking past Sarah's room. He hadn't really talked to her since they went out for coffee a few times. He was too busy with keeping Vincent sane after Catherine got shot and now keeping him sane while he has PTSD episodes. He looked into her room to see if she was in there. Maybe he could talk to her about the next time they could get together.

He stopped in front of her open door and looked in to see if she was in there. His shoulder's dropped and he let out a big breath. He saw here smiling and talking with one of the professors who taught right down the hall from his own room. He was disappointed. Now, he probably wouldn't get another chance to ask her out seeing how happy they looked together. He let out a big sigh and kept on walking towards his car. He should've found time to talk to her more.

Catherine sat at her desk as she saw Brendan come over to her.

"Hi Catherine." he smiled.

"Hi." she replied.

"I talked to Gabe."

"Oh?" Catherine asked in surprise. She didn't think he was going to since Gabe wasn't apart of the official staff.

"Yeah he said something about you knowing something about the DNA samples?" Brendan crossed his arms. "I don't mean to cause trouble but since it's my job I have to ask...are you not telling the staff something?"

Catherine sighed. "I don't know why he is so on my case about this and every one wants think I have something to do with it."

Brendan nodded. "I think they are concerned because it matched to the DNA sample of your mother's murder case."

"It's just that I've spent the last nine years trying to let it go and I'm finally coming to terms with it and then they bombard me with questions." Catherine forced a smile. "It's just a bit bother some. I'm sorry I don't mean to be causing problems."

Brendan smiled and laughed. "For the last time, it's my job. Don't worry about it. I just want to make sure everyone is okay and working in a happy and safe environment."

Catherine smiled. "They think I would be so curious to find out what saved me that night but..." Catherine sighed. "I just would rather not have a answer to be honest. I kinda like the fact knowing that something or someone was watching over me that night." She smiled thinking about Vincent.

Brendan smiled. "I know what you mean. Have you tried telling them that?"

Catherine shook her head. "No, because they think I'm not hiding something that has to do with it because I let a friend in and he needed access to DNA equipment.

Brendan nodded.

"He teaches a college course and he needed to use it for an up-coming lesson." Catherine lied.

Brendan nodded. "Then why didn't you just ask your boss? He seems to be a pretty understanding guy."

Catherine shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. I guess I was afraid he would say no and-" Catherine shook her head. "Honestly, I don't know why I snuck him in. And now that it's happened I regret it." She somewhat lied. She did wish she just asked Joe and pretend he needed access to it for a lesson but she knew he would say no and plus, it helped cure Vincent's blackouts.

"Catherine?" Brendan asked.

Catherine shook her head. "Sorry I was just lost in though."

He smiled. "That's alright. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I talked to him."

Catherine smiled. "Thank you I appreciate it. And I will be sure to confront my colleagues when I get the chance." Hopefully he was right. Once she explained to them she really wasn't all that interested maybe they would settle down a bit. But that still won't stop Evan...

Later that evening Vincent sat on Catherine's fire escape waiting for her to come home from work.

"Look Gabe..." Catherine said into her phone when opening her apartment door. "I told you I have nothing to do with Vincent Keller."

Vincent listened into the conversation trying to figure out why she was saying his name.

"No Gabe!" Catherine shouted. "He was involved in one of the cases a while back but he is dead so why are you trying to catch a dead person?"

Vincent swallowed. He listened harder to see what the voice on the other end was saying.

"Gabe look, I have to go, if you want to talk to Brendan about your dead guy theory then by my guest." Catherine pulled the phone away quickly from her ear and hit the end button before Gabe had a chance to respond.

"Dead guy theory?" Vincent asked as he made his way down the hall towards Catherine.

Catherine looked up. "You heard that huh?"

Vincent nodded. "Brendan?"

Catherine shook her head. "He is just a psychologist that Joe brought in. Apparently no body at work trusts one another and everything thinks I have something to do with it but I'm just not spilling the beans."

Vincent nodded. "Sounds fun."

Catherine laughed taking off her jacket and putting it on the couch.

"Um..." Vincent stared out not quite sure how to say what he wanted to.

Catherine looked up. "Yeah?"

Vincent took a deep breath. It was a long time since he did what he was about to do. "Would you um...like to go out tonight?"

Catherine looked at Vincent with a little bit of shook. "Tonight?"

Vincent nodded but quickly said, "If you can't or if you're busy with something then-"

Catherine cut him off. "No Vincent, I would love to."

Vincent smiled. "Perfect." He tried to hide how happy he was and just act casual but that was a bit hard for him.

Catherine smiled as she walked over to Vincent. She looked up into his eyes.

"What?" He asked her smiling.

Catherine continued to look into his eyes. She put a hand up on his cheek. "I was asked today about why I didn't really care about finding out who saved me the night my mother died."

Vincent took a step back worried about were she was going with this but noticed how relaxed Catherine remained.

"I told them that I just would rather not have an answer. And that I like the fact knowing that someone was watching over me that night." Catherine took Vincent's hand in hers. "And that's exactly what I have." Catherine paused. "I have you."

Vincent smiled and gave Catherine's hand a light squeeze.

"You are always there when I need you." Catherine looked up into his eyes smiling.

Vincent found Catherine only inches away from him. He smiled. "You save me too." He pulled a strand of hair from her face and tucked in behind her ear. "I have a surprise for you." Vincent said in almost a whisper.

Catherine gave him a bit of a confused look. "What do you mean?"

He smiled. "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, now would it?"

Catherine let out a small laughed. "I suppose."

Vincent took out a small piece of paper from his jacket. "Just come here in about thirty minutes."

Catherine took the paper and looked down at it. 'Ballet Roof.' she had a puzzled look on her face. "Why-" she looked up but he was already gone.

About thirty minutes later she did as she was told. She went to the ballet roof only to find it was completely dark and empty. She made a confused face and walked around a bit but she couldn't really see anything since it was so dark. She squinted her eyes to try to see better. She jumped a little when the chistmas-like lights were turned on.

"You said your ideal date was dinner on a roof top so I..." Vincent stood next to a table that had two plates.

Catherine smiled and walked over to Vincent. "Did you?"

Vincent nodded and looked over at the table. "Steak or chicken?" he jokingly asked.

Catherine laughed. "You didn't have to go to all this trouble." she said looking around.

Vincent shrugged his shoulders and took Catherine's hand in his. "I'll do anything if it means I get to spend time with you."

Catherine looked up at him and smiled.

"Besides." Vincent said shrugging his shoulders. "Nothing an ex-military super soldier can't handle." he laughed.

Catherine smiled.

"Shall we?" Vincent asked pulling out a chair for Catherine.

Catherine smiled as she sat down in the chair. She couldn't believe Vincent went to all this trouble just for her.

I know it's another short one and I'm really sorry about that. Hopefully I will be able to get another chapter in tonight considering it's still pretty early.

I love writing about Vincent and Catherine's relationship and I apologize there has not been many chapter's based on that because as of right now Vincent is trying to figure out what's going on with him.

The scene with J.T. dropping his shoulders in the college building was from the promo.
