Chapter 22
Day 10
Catherine
I will never forget the luxurious yacht getaway. It makes me relax and enjoy. The most important moment is when I've given my virginity to Vincent!
But I did not regret what I did. This time, I'm happy.
But nervous too. We did it but I still don't know the status of our relationship because he didn't court me!
I don't know if he's serious or not.
I love being with him and that is all that matters for now.
Come to think of it. I just recently told George that I don't believe in soulmate and love anymore!
But look at me. Am I in love with Vincent now?
So far, I like him but I still don't know if this feeling of mine is pure love or just an attraction that will come by.
Only time can ever tell.
Hopefully, Destiny will be good to me this time...
Today is the wedding for those who are eliminated.
And George will get married today!
Who would have thought that our relationship would end up like this?
No one! No one ever knows what the future could bring...
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen! We are here gathered to witness the wedding of our eliminated participants!" The host appeared surprisingly.
The decoration is for a beach wedding theme. It's very beautiful!
With flowers everywhere.
George and the rest are also wearing attire that is appropriate for the theme.
Their hair has a crown that is made with white flowers.
George's face is very happy. He looks peaceful and contented which I didn't see when we were together.
I'm happy for him but I know that his family and my family are very angry watching right now!
George reveals himself on an International Television. That means that he's ready to face the challenges of the world.
I wish him good luck too.
I look around looking for Vincent.
Where is he? He told me that he would watch the wedding with me.
It's about to start and he is still not here.
"Before we start the wedding. Let's welcome the eliminated participants!" The host shouts and everyone claps their hands.
I clap my hands cheering for George and Fred. They look at me with a smile and wave their hands.
I'm glad that everything is okay between us.
The priest arrives and the wedding starts.
I feel a warm hand embrace me at the back.
I know that it's him. It's Vincent!
"Miss me?" He whispers in my ear which causes a tingle down to my inner core.
I am wet!
"You should behave, we are at the wedding ceremony. And there are lots of cameras around." I said.
But he only gives me small butterfly kisses in my ears that cause the butterfly in my stomach to be wild!
"Hmmm, you smell good today." He said.
He doesn't care at all if someone sees us or if we will be caught on camera!
Good thing that I'm the only one at the back. The only last person standing. And here's Vincent at my back doing some hokus pokus that will surely make me crazy!
"Behave, Vincent! I want to watch George and Fred's wedding." I answer.
"Go on watch. No one is stopping you, my love." He said sweetly.
I don't know why he's very sweet today. Does he have something to ask for me? A favor? Or what?! I ask myself confused. But I know I won't get an answer unless I ask Vincent personally.
Him, calling me love is like music in my ears. It's like I'm back from my teenage years. Seeing my crush looking at me.
That will make me nervous and excited. That is what I'm feeling right now!
I'm supposed to act like an adult but the feeling of being in love is just like a teenage crush.
Wait-
I'm in love? What if Vincent didn't love me at all and was just hooking up with me?
What am I thinking again? It's making me crazy thinking about something that has not yet happened.
I'm being paranoid I guess.
Because Vincent didn't say the magic three words.
But does he believe in love?
Oh! My head is aching from overthinking!
Whatever! I said and Vincent heard it!
"Whatever what?" He asks confused.
"Oh, just nothing. I'm just thinking some nonsense and it's giving me a headache." I answer.
I'm indeed thinking but It's not nonsense as I am thinking about him.
"You want to rest? Let's go back," he said.
"No, I told George and Fred that I would support their wedding. Let's finish the ceremony." I answer.
"Okay, wait for me in here." He said and walked away.
He comes back holding two chairs in his hand and lets me sit down.
"I think it's much better if you sit down," he said.
"Thank you, Vincent." I thank him.
"I'm a boy scout and always ready hahaha!" He answered laughing.
It's very awkward for me to see him happily laughing and free. I guess this is the real Vincent!
He only shows his hard side before and always makes me angry.
Now, he is so clingy! So sweet and thoughtful!
Is it Vincent?
Well, maybe he's in love? I asked myself happily. Is it possible that he might fall in love with me?
Or it's just lust...
The last part is so heartbreaking! He must be, at least attracted to me.
"Hey! You're spacing out again." He pinched my face.
And I blush!
"Why do you do that?" I asked awkwardly.
"I just like to pinch your face. But now you're blushing. I like it more," he said smiling.
"I'm not blushing! You pinch my face and it's very sensitive!" I reason.
But I know that he will not buy it at all. I blush because I'm overwhelmed and surprised by the way he treats me right now.
It was the first time that we didn't argue and quarrel. But instead, he's very sweet and caring!
I love and like this side of him and hope that this relationship will continue whatever it is!
"Fine, I know that you're overwhelmed by my handsome face hahaha!" He laughs again.
"Shhh! Keep quiet! The wedding ceremony is not finished yet." I said.
"They can't hear us! Look at the crowd! They are so noisy! Some are happy while others are crying. Poor thing," Vincent said while shaking his head.
I look around and he is right! The partners of the eliminated are all here. And they are crying from losing their boyfriend and girlfriend.
I'm the only one laughing and happy!
"Oh, I'm glad that they didn't see me laughing. I guess I'm the only one who is not crying right now." I said.
"Why will you cry? George is happy and you're happy too. And I'm the happiest!" He shouted again.
Good thing that the people around us are focused on watching the wedding ceremony.
Vincent is naughty and noisy!
"Can you lower your voice?" I ask.
"Sure," he answers and moves his chair near me.
There's no more distance and he hugs me. I can feel his warm breath teasing me to kiss him.
I can feel his warm skin that is protecting me from the cold wind.
I don't want this moment to end but the wedding ceremony is over and everyone is clapping. Greeting every couple.
"I'll go and greet them," I stand up and go.
Vincent stays and I approach George and Fred.
"Best Wishes for the both of you," I greet them.
"Thank you, Catherine," Fred answered happily.
George gives me a warm hug and I return the favor.
We are good now and I will miss him as a friend.
"Thank you so much, Catherine." He said sincerely.
"You're welcome but don't bother. I'm glad that we ended as a friend with no hurt feelings." I said smiling.
"Of course, no hurt feelings at all." George agrees.
"So, what's your plan?" I curiously asked.
"Still the same, I will live with Fred for a while. My Dad called the game show telling them to let me go back to the Philippines. He is still angry and I don't want to argue with them. I want to be with Fred." He explains.
"Well, I wish you good luck. And I guess this is goodbye?" I asked.
But before George can answer me. The host happily shouted.
"It's not yet goodbye guys! It's time to party!!!" He danced with his signature moves and disappeared.
Everyone was jumping when they heard the hard rock song playing with the band on the stage.
Different lights are dancing too plus lots of fireworks in the sky!
"Best wishes!!" I shouted happily.
"Let's party!" George shouted and Fred carried him.
"Oh my!!! Just enjoy guys!" I said happily.
Everyone is dancing now and I go back with Vincent only to see that lots of girls are flirting around him!
