**I DO NOT OWN THIS SHOW OR THE CHARACTERS IN THE SHOW, I AM JUST BORROWING THEM**
-Catherine's Apartment (1 week Later)-
Catherine arrived to her apartment after a long day at work, locking the door behind her. Her and Vincent had agreed on not seeing each other in person, while he healed and they only communicated by phone. She missed seeing him and he missed seeing her. But to keep their hands off of each other it was for the best. She tossed her keys onto the counter and laid her coat onto the couch. Then suddenly she heard rustling in her sister's old bedroom. Her heart began to race as she remembered Sam was still out there on the streets. She grabbed her gun and began to walk towards the bedroom, holding her gun up as made it to the door. She slowly pushed the door open to find….
"Heather?!...Oh my god! What are you doing here?" shouted a surprised, yet relieved Cat.
"Well hello to you too. I sure do love being greeted with a gun pointed at me." Heather replied.
"How did you get in anyways?"
"I still had a key to the apartment and I wanted to come and see you. I missed you Cat and I am taking a break from work anyways." The sisters hugged, then looked at each other and smiled.
"I missed you too Heath. So, how has work been?" asked Catherine.
"Ah, nothing too exciting lately." Heather said, letting out a slight giggle. "I was hoping that me, you, and Tess could go out and do something tonight like old times. I missed hanging out with the both of you."
"Yeah, uhm…that would be great, but I have to work tomorrow Heath. Maybe another night?"
"Oh come on party pooper! I promise we won't be out late, just long enough to dance and have a couple of drinks…maybe catch up some. Please, Cat…pleeeease?!"
Catherine sighed and smiled a little. Dancing? Drinking? Catherine thought to herself.
"Okay, fine. Where are we going?" said Catherine.
"We are going to the Greenhouse. Now go….get in the shower and put on something sexy….its ladies night, so a lot of hot guys will be there." Heather said as she squeaked out a giggle and skipped to the living room.
This is going to be a long night. Catherine thought and she sighed and began to dial Tess' number up. Catherine finally got an answer and told Tess that Heather was in the city and wanted them to go out. Tess didn't hesitate and rushed off the phone to begin getting ready for a night out with her friends. Little did Catherine know that Tess had invited JT to meet them there.
-House Boat-
"So it looks like I'm going out with Tess tonight. You going to be okay here by yourself?" asked JT.
"JT, I am not 5 years old. I am fine and for the record, I have stayed here many of nights by myself." exclaimed Vincent.
JT replied in an offensive tone, "Oh, well excuse me for trying to be a concerned friend."
"I'm sorry JT. It's just that I haven't seen Catherine in a week, and she hasn't called me today. I miss her a lot you know?"
Both men stood there in silence. Then finally Vincent spoke, "So where are you and Tess going anyways?"
"Her, Heather and Cat are going to the Greenhouse and Tess asked me to….." JT stopped, realizing he gave away Catherine's plans for tonight.
"Heather is here? And Catherine is going? You do realize I have to go with you, right?"
"Vincent, I don't think that's a good idea." JT retorted.
"Oh come on JT! Do you not realize that a lot of guys are going to be hitting on Catherine? It's ladies night tonight. I have to go….I AM going!" exclaimed Vincent.
"Fine, but if Cat asks, I didn't invite you!"
Vincent smiles then runs upstairs to find something to wear. He shouts down to JT, "Deal!"
-Catherine's Apartment-
Catherine puts on a black dress that fit her curves perfectly. Her make up made her look like an angel. She sprayed herself with perfume then curled her hair into a slight wave. As she came out of the bathroom, Heather approaches her with a pair of her black heels that she insisted her to wear.
"Heather, is all of this necessary?"
Heather gave her sister an 'are you serious' look, "Cat, you look fine. Where is Tess? I thought she was going to meet us here?"
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" shouted Heather. Catherine put on the heels, then grabbed her coat. She realizes that it is Tess at the door when Tess welcome's Heather back. Then Tess directs her attention to Catherine.
"You ready, Cat?"
"Yup. Let's go!" Catherine replied.
The girls head out of the door then onward to the Greenhouse.
-Greenhouse-
The music was pumping. It was so loud that you could feel the beat outside. Catherine, Heather, and Tess finally found a parking spot and headed towards the club. Catherine sighed, then remembered that she hadn't called Vincent that day. She told the girls to head on in and fibs about leaving something in her car. She dials Vincent's number, only to get a hold of his voicemail. She sends him a text saying, I'm sorry I haven't called today, Heather came in. I have been thinking about you. I love and miss you and I hope to hear from you soon! She then headed for the club entrance.
Vincent and JT had just arrived. JT was wearing a long sleeve dress shirt with a sweater vest on top of it with a pair of jeans. Vincent was wearing a casual black v-neck t-shirt with some jeans. JT reminded Vincent not to tell Catherine about him inviting Vincent. The men walked into the club, people dancing and going wild with the music. Vincent then split up from JT and began to look for Catherine.
"Hey, Cat…let's go dance!" screamed Heather over the crowd and loud music.
Catherine shouted back, "I don't think so Heath, you go on without me."
Heather then grabbed Catherine and pulled her on the dance floor. Catherine let out a laugh, and began dancing with her sister. Tess finally joined them.
JT spots the girls and makes his way through the crowd to get over to them. Catherine, stopped dead in her tracks, then looked at Tess with a questionable look. Tess smiles and shrugs her shoulders then Catherine grabs her and heads for the bathroom.
"What is he doing here, Tess?!"
"What?! I invited him. What is wrong with that, Cat?"
"JT has probably told Vincent. I am sure that is why Vincent didn't answer my call earlier, nor has he tried calling back. Not even a text."
"So? What's wrong with that? Look, Cat, I think you are taking this whole 'avoidance' thing too seriously. I'm pretty sure the last time I had seen him he was getting around perfectly fine. It's been a week since you have seen him and I think you need to calm down."
"Fine! You are right. I guess I have been pretty hard on, not only on Vincent, but on myself too. I do miss him….and to be honest...I kind of hope Vincent came with JT."
"Come on Cat, I'll buy you a drink."
Vincent sat at the bar drinking a beer. He had been looking everywhere for Catherine. He began to feel a pull coming from behind him. He tuned out the music to notice a familiar noise. He sat his beer down and looked around. Nothing. He began to think maybe he was imagining the noise he heard. Then again…he heard it again. It was…her! He knew that heart beat was Catherine's. He turned around to having his jaw drop at the sight of Catherine in her little black dress. Catherine smiled slightly then sat down at the bar, crossing her legs. Vincent still hypnotized by how beautiful she looked, sat down next to her.
"I tried to call you. You didn't answer." said Catherine.
"I left my phone at home, so…"
Catherine nodded then asked the waiter for a drink. She then looked back at Vincent, noticing that he had his eyes locked onto her. She began blushing and grinned a little. "What?" she asked.
"Nothing….you look….stunning." he replied.
"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." she said, both now smiling. Catherine got up out of the bar stool, and moved closer to Vincent. Her heart was racing. Vincent stood up also, then he wrapped his arms around Catherine's waist, and her arms went around his neck, laying her head on his chest. She noticed his heart was racing too then smiled. She looked up to Vincent and asked, "Will you dance with me?" Vincent smiled and said, "I would love to."
They made their way out to the dance floor as the song 'Sugar by Wanderhouse' began to play. Other couples, including JT and Tess were coming together and swaying to the beat. Vincent gave Catherine a spin then pulled her close, placing his right hand in the curve of her back and holding her hand with the other hand. He pulled her even closer to him, both having their eyes locked. Then Vincent spinned Catherine around again, only this time having her back against his front. He rested his chin down her left shoulder, then whispered in her ear, "I've missed everything about you." Catherine webbed her fingers with Vincent's holding them close to her waist. She hugged herself while still holding his hands, both still swaying to the music. Catherine then turned her head to look up at Vincent, then she replied, "I have missed you too." then she began to kiss him. Vincent turned Catherine to face him, not braking the kiss. They stopped dancing and stood there embracing each other while kissing. Catherine felt Vincent beginning to push on his pants. She too was turned on by the kiss. The song had stopped and Catherine and Vincent broke the kiss to catch their breath. Vincent then asked Catherine while smiling, "You want to get out of here?"
