I DO NOT OWN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Chapter 19

Catherine put down her fork and sighed. "Why did you do all of this?"

Vincent looked up. "Because I care about you."

Catherine smiled. "You're different, you know that?"

"Um...yes." Vincent said laughing. "I tend to have these moments were I become a beast and I throw people."

"No, thats not what I meant." Catherine laughed. "I mean, you're not like most guys."

Vincent shrugged his shoulders. "When you're in hiding it gives you time to think." Vincent paused. "Gives you time to think about who is really important and what really matters. And also people wanting me to be dead it makes me think about how I have to make everyday worth it."

Catherine gave Vincent a concerned look. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything."

Vincent shook his head. "No, no it's fine."

Catherine sighed. "Thank you."

Vincent gave her a confused look. "For what?"

She looked around. "For doing all this."

"It was nothing really." Vincent said. "And besides, I would do anything for you."

Catherine blushed. "You really are the sweetest guy I ever met."

Vincent was caught off a guard a bit.

"I'm so lucky to have you in my life Vincent."

Vincent smiled. "I'm the lucky one."

Catherine smiled.

J.T entered the warehouse and sat down on the couch he sighed as he rubbed his face. He thought about seeing how happy Sarah was with the other guy. 'Who knows, maybe they are just two colleges having a good time.' he thought. But somehow he didn't have himself convinced. He leaned over to grab his bag that he tossed on the floor. He opened one of the side pockets to grab his cell phone.

Ring...Ring...Ring...Ring...The number you are trying to reach is not available. Please try again later or leave a message after the beep. *Beep*

"Hi Sarah, it's J.T. I was just wondering if you would be interested in going out for coffee sometime soon. I'm sorry I never got back to you sooner I've just been really busy with planning lessons." J.T. sighed. "Anyway, if you're interested in catching up sometime soon just give me a call. See you later. Bye." J.T. hung up the phone and sighed.

A while later Vincent and Catherine sat on the fire escape outside of Catherine's apartment.

"Vincent?" Catherine asked looking up at him.

"Yeah?"

"We never really talked about what happened that night I got shot." Catherine said looking out past the bars on the fire escape.

"What do you mean?" Vincent asked looking at Catherine.

"Well, it just seems that you always know when I need you." she smiled

Vincent took Catherine's hand in his and smiled.

"How did you know I was in trouble?" Catherine asked.

Vincent shrugged his shoulders. "Something just told me."

Catherine smiled and looked down at her feet.

Vincent laughed. "Where were you headed anyways? The wedding wasn't even over."

Catherine let out a small laughed and looked up to face Vincent. "I was going to see you."

He gave her a confused look. "Why?"

"Because I wanted to let you know it wasn't to big of a risk. I got to spend time with you that night and that's all I ever wanted." Catherine gave Vincent's hand a little squeeze. "And besides we have gotten over bigger obstacles in the past."

Vincent nervously smiled thinking about his hallucinations. "That we have."

"Together." Catherine smiled.

Vincent smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind Catherine's ear. "Together." he whispered.

Neither of them knew who closed the small gap but they found there lips pressing against each others. Neither of them wanted to pull away but they both jumped when they heard someone call from inside the apartment.

"Caaat! I'm home!" Heather shouted opening the front door.

Neither Vincent or Catherine could take their eyes off each other.

"Cat?" Heather asked. "Cat where are you?"

Vincent heard Heather get closer to Catherine's bedroom. Without taking his eyes off Catherine he said, "I should probably go. J.T. is probably worried sick."

Catherine blushed remembering what had just occurred.

"Catherine Chandler where are you?!" Heather called opening door through out the hall looking for her sister.

"I should go too." Catherine sighed.

Vincent nodded and stood up.

She put a hand on Vincent's shoulder. "Thank you." she whispered.

Vincent turned around and smiled. He kissed her forehead. "I'm the lucky one."

Catherine smiled.

"CAAATTT QUIT PLAYING HIDE AND SEEK!"

Catherine turned to face her window and looked back to see Vincent but he was already gone. She climbed through her window just as Heather opened the door to her bedroom.

"Found me!" Catherine smiled.

Heather stood in the doorway and crossed her arms. "Not funny..." she shook her head.

Catherine shrugged her shoulders. "I think it's pretty funny." she said laughing.

Heather rolled her eyes and walked down the hall. "I'm ordering food!" she called.

"Oh come on Heather, you're seriously mad at me?" Catherine asked following her sister.

Heather picked up the phone and dialed the number without saying a word.

"Heather..." Catherine said crossing her arms.

"Hi, I'll have one large cheeze pizza."

Vincent walked into the ware house still smiling.

"What's got you happy?" J.T. asked still sitting on the couch.

Vincent stopped smiling and looked at his roommate. "What's got you pouting?"

J.T. crossed his arms. "Nothing."

Vincent walked over to the couch. "Come on man, what's buggin' ya?"

J.T. got up off the couch and walked over to the fridge grabbing two beers. "I saw Sarah today." J.T. said as he handed Vincent the beer.

"Oh?" Vincent asked taking a sip.

"She was with some other guy." J.T. took a large sip.

Vincent noticed J.T. gulping his beer. "I don't think getting drunk will help."

J.T. glarred at Vincent. "You clearly didn't see how happy they were together."

Vincent nodded. "Where they on a date?"

J.T. took another large sip. "No..."

"Then why are you stressing?" Vincent asked taking another sip.

J.T. shrugged his shoulder's and just took another large sip.

Vincent grabbed the beer from J.T.'s hand. "Okay, instead of drinking your problems away, fix 'em."

J.T. looked at Vincent like he was five and just lost his ice-cream cone.

"I'm serious!" Vincent said laughing. "Can't just run forever."

There was an awkward silence and J.T. and Vincent just looked at each other.

"Uh...I'm tired." Vincent said awkwardly walking over towards the stairs.

"Me too..." J.T. said opening the fridge.

"J.T.!" Vincent shouted watching him grab another bottle.

"Well you took mine!" J.T. said defending himself.

Vincent laughed and took another sip of his. "Bye." he said walking up the stairs.

I know it's another short one and I apologize for that. I will try my best to make the next one longer.

Yay! Vincent and Catherine had their first successful date. Good for them!

Thanks for reading and I'm sorry it's so short.
