Chapter 23
Catherine
I'm trying to control myself from being jealous.
Our current status right now is no label. Yeah, there's no label in this relationship. I don't want to be angry. They are just girls having a crush and lust for him.
I shouldn't bother him. He is enjoying while mingling with those girls.
I have to go back and hang out with George and Fred. They have lots of friends. I will enjoy myself too.
Before I go back. I saw Vincent looking at me. I wave my hand and whisper Enjoy.
He just nods his head and that's it!
I felt a heavy heart. I can't fall in love with Vincent with no clear relationship. But look at me now.
I feel like crying but it will be awkward when I cry.
People will ask me for sure and will think that I'm sad because of George's wedding.
Just no! I cannot give them a wrong impression.
I will smile and enjoy this party!
And speaking of parties...
I am enjoying it right now!
George and Fred's friends are all cool and fun to be with.
Of course, I am drunk. I drink and enjoy so that I cannot think of Vincent.
He's happy right now wherever he is. He didn't even bother to come and join me!
What a life!
"Let's Enjoy! Congratulations to the newlyweds!" I raise my glass and drink all of it.
"Let's enjoy!" Said Ken.
He is a friend of Fred and her girlfriend are already married to another guy too. He doesn't want to cry and chooses to enjoy and become wild on the dance floor.
He's fun to be with.
We dance and dance until I feel dizzy.
I guess, it's time to sleep. Tomorrow is the next game and I need to gather some strength.
Who knows what is the game? I cannot lose because I still want to stay with Vincent.
But where is he? Nowhere to be found!
"George, Fred. I gotta go. I think I drink enough and need to rest now." I told them.
"Go on, Catherine. Thanks for your best wishes." George said and hugged me.
"Oh, I would love to join too! Thank you, Catherine." Fred said happily and embraced us.
"No more drama! I gotta go hahaha!" I said and walked away.
As I am walking to my room. I saw a shadow at my back! I feel nervous and scared!
Who is this person following me? I look around and there are no cameras. Why did I choose this path?
Maybe because I'm drunk. But not now! I'm fully aware and awake.
I need to face whoever it is!
We are all adults in here. Nothing will happen.
And besides, maybe this person is drunk too and wants to sleep in his room. Just like me.
I was shocked to see Ken! Smiling sweetly to me. He's drunk too!
"Ken? Are you going back to your room?" I ask.
"Yeah, I'm going back too. Nice meeting you again!" He said happily.
"Oh, okay. You're drunk! I think you need to sleep for the game tomorrow." I said and continued walking.
I'm about to arrive at my room but still, he is following me!
This time, I'm afraid!
There are no people around.
There's a camera but only one!
"Ken, I'm here in my room. See you for tomorrow's game. Goodbye!" I said and opened the door.
But he holds my hand!
"Wait-" he said while still holding my hand.
I take a deep breath to calm myself.
"What is it?" I ask smiling.
"I like you, Catherine." He said sincerely but I know that he has a hidden motive.
It's our first meeting and he likes me immediately? That's absurd!
I don't like him and he needs to know the truth.
I don't like to give him a false hope. I need to say no!
"I like you too, Ken but as a friend," I said.
"Why? We can be more than friends! Both of our partners have been married and leave us alone." He insists still holding my hand.
"I'm not looking for a new partner Ken. I'm tired and want to sleep. Can you let go of my hand now?" I ask politely but deep inside I'm starting to get angry!
"We can, Catherine. I'm sure you miss this-" He didn't continue what he was talking about because he pulled me closer and wanted to kiss me!
I struggle from his grasp but he's very strong!
God! Who can help me?
Right! I need to shout so that others will hear me!
"Help! Help me!" I shouted.
He covers my mouth with his dirty hand!
"Shhh, Don't shout. But even so, no one will hear you. Catherine. You don't miss this kind of intimacy huh?" He asks while licking his lips.
He looks like a devil to me! If it's Vincent, the Devil Bastard. I will never be afraid of him!
Vincent!
"Let me remind you of the taste of ecstasy," he said sheepishly.
His face is very near to mine now. But he is still covering my mouth.
There's no other choice but to step on his feet!
And I did it! He shouted because of pain and it was time for me to escape.
I open the door of my room without a key.
I forgot that I always lock my door!
There's no time to get the key. I need to run!
I run but he is faster than me! He grabs my waist and is trying to kiss me again!
"Come on! I know that you like this!" He said while laughing.
"Let me go!" I struggle.
Then suddenly, Ken was knocked out!
I look for the person who punches him and it is Vincent!
Thank God that I'm safe!
"Vincent!" I run into him and feel the warmth of his embrace.
"Expel this man from the Island and delete all of his records as if he doesn't exist!" Vincent shouted angrily.
I don't know whom he is talking about. There's no one except the two of us in here.
But to my surprise, four men in black appeared from nowhere!
They carry Ken and disappear.
I can still hear Ken shouting from afar.
"Let me go!" Ken shouted.
"Vincent, What will happen to Ken?" I curiously asked.
"Of course, he's disqualified now for what he did. And he will be returning home and become blacklisted in all the companies from his country. No company will hire him. This is his punishment." He explains.
But, does he have the authority to command the men in black?
"Wait- Why it's you? And why do the men in black obey your command?" I asked.
"Hmmm, I will explain everything. But later Catherine. Later," he answers with suspense.
And I'm dying to know about it! But I can't force him to tell me because I know that he won't!
"Okay, I feel like taking a bath. I feel dirty." I said.
"Let's go and I will go with your room," he offered.
"Thank you," I said.
But the problem is, I lost my key! I think I misplaced it somehow.
"Oh! My key is not in my bag or pocket! I don't remember where I put it." I said with a sad expression.
"Then, Let's go to my room. I will prepare a hot bath for you." He said.
But why do I feel excited?
Calm down, Catherine!
"Okay," I answer shortly.
I have nothing to say!
He prepares a hot bubble bath for me in his bathtub. He did it!
"Take off all your clothes and throw it away outside." He said.
"Huh? Why should I throw it away?!" I ask surprised.
"It's dirty! You can borrow mine in the meantime. Tomorrow, I will ask for the duplicate key of your room." He explains.
"Okay," I said and walked away.
But he called me!
"Where are you going?" He asks furrowing his brows.
"I'm going to the bathroom and take off my clothes," I answer.
"No, take it all off in here and I will throw it away!" He said.
I feel like there's a butterfly in my stomach making me uncomfortable. But why do I'm wet right now?!
Control yourself, Catherine.
Stop thinking too much!
No matter how I will scold myself my body reacts differently.
"Why? It's-" I didn't finish what I was saying when Vincent interrupted.
"What? I already saw your body Catherine. No need to be shy. Come on, take it off now or I will be the one to do it!" It seems like a threat but I follow him immediately.
"Your underwear too, take it off and throw it away. I will buy a new one for you." He said.
"But- What will I wear if I don't have an underwear?" I awkwardly asked.
Vincent smirked at me with a burning pleasure in his eyes!
"You don't need an underwear, Catherine." He said.
And the excitement of my body is uncontrollable!
Why I'm feeling like this? I'm excited to be with him again!
I throw my underwear and he looks satisfied.
Will we have s*x tonight?
Why I am asking this?
Go and take a bath, Catherine! Vincent is drooling while looking at you!
I look at Vincent and he licks and bites his lips.
He looks, tempting and delicious!
What am I thinking again?
"You look gorgeous Catherine. No need to cover your body," he said walking towards me.
"Oh! I need to take a bath!" I said and ran towards the bathroom.
What a hot scene!
