| Turn Around Summary: Kathryn and Sebastian develop a plan to keep her in New York and get help from an unlikely source. Chapter 18: Unwilling Accomplice Her plan was crazy, evil and completely Kathryn. When she told me that night she had a way of dealing with her mother I seriously thought she might suggest we kill her or something especially after she told me about her fucked up child hood. However the plan wasn't quite that far gone but it was close. "So you want to make her crazy?" I asked more than a little skeptical. "Well she's already two thirds of the way there. I'm just suggesting we give her a little push" Kathryn explained as she sat naked on my lap. "And you think using my father is the way to do it?" She leaned her head back in thought "my mother can't stand the idea of people touching her things, especially me. If she thought she was in danger of losing him, to me of all people she would completly lose it." "Right or she would destroy you before you got a chance. So let me get this straight your not going to actually get...umm...involved with him are you?" Kathryn smirked "of course not we'll just make her think I am. Look I turn eighteen in two weeks and then my inheritance goes directly to me. We have until then to push her over the edge and once she gets put away she'll be deemed incompetent and won't be able to stop me from getting what's mine." "Yeah or she'll figure out what we're doing and make sure you don't get a dime. How much is this inheritance of yours anyway?" She shrugged "around 1.5" "1.5 million? Kathryn I have more than that in my bank account. Why are we doing all this for a lou-" "1.5 billion Sebastian. It's more than half of my fathers estate and he left it all to me." I was still reeling from the number she just told me. I knew the Merteuil's were wealthy but I had never thought about how well off they were. "Wow no wonder you don't want to leave that behind." "It's not about the money Sebastian." "I know" I told her letting my hand caress her hair. "So does this plan of your's include how we're going to keep your mother from sending you away?" "Well we'll have to break up" she said matter of factly. "Excuse me?" Kathryn rolled her eyes smiling "we're not really going to break up. We just have to make them think it's over between us." "And how do we do that?" "I don't know" she sighed "I thought up the rest of it. You figure that part out." "Right well let's see. We can't just tell them it's over because they won't believe us. I guess we could always stage a fight." "Yeah we have to be in the same room to do that." "I suppose" I sighed. Then as we sat there thinking something occurred to me. "Do you think you could sneak away for about a minute or so?" "I guess so, why?" I smirked "I have an idea." * * * * * * The following morning I awoke alone in my bed. I remembered that Kathryn had fallen asleep but I didn't want to wake her even though I knew we were risking the chance of her mother finding us. Even knowing she would probably be gone by the time I woke up I couldn't help but be disappointed when I let my hand wander to her side and found it empty. Rolling over onto my back I realized I could still smell her on my sheets. After taking a shower I started getting dressed when my phone rang. "Hello" "I don't really like this plan of yours" Kathryn complained. I smirked "you did last night." "Well that's because I didn't have time to think about it. Now I have and I don't want you bringing her into this." "Kathryn" I sighed "we need her." "Yes but why her? Can't you use one of your other trampy ex's?" "Annette is the most believable and you know it. You wouldn't be acting like this because you're jealous now would you?" "I am not jealous" she replied icily "and especially not of her." "Right" I said not buying a word of it. I couldn't help but love the fact that Kathryn felt threatened. "Well you have nothing to worry about." "Whatever, look she's never going to agree to help us anyway." I knew she was right but luckily I had a solution to that. "Yes she will because I don't plan on giving her much of a choice." "Ooh blackmail?" "Well it worked so well in the past. Any signs of the parental units this morning?" "Your father went to the office I assume so he can go hump his secretary and mother is marching around deciding what to decorate." "Good now I got to go" I told her as I grabbed an envelop from my desk. "I'll call you when everything is set. I love you." "Remember that when you're with her." * * * * * * "Absolutely not Sebastian, no way!" Annette exclaimed as she threw the photos to the ground. "Why not? I don't see what the big deal is?" "The big deal" she explained lowering her voice "is that I promised my father I was through with you." Smiling I said "well you didn't seem all that done with me the other night." I caught her and she knew it. "That was...different. Look just get another girl to help you." "No I need you now and we need to leave soon." "Sebastian no" she told me firmly. "Fine" I sighed as I picked the incriminating photos off the ground "then I'll just go show these to your father. This one in particular he'll probably want framed" I held up a picture of her sucking Kathryn's breasts. Annette winced "god...I can't believe you're doing this to me after what I did for you. Kathryn wouldn't even be talking to you if it wasn't for me." "Yes and I thanked you for that already. Just think of this as your final act of charity for us. I promise after this you'll never have to deal with Kathryn or me ever again." "All right fine! I'll help you but I mean it Sebastian you can't keep holding those pictures over my head anymore." "Deal" I said knowing that if I had to I wouldn't hesitate to use it again. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that. "Now let's get going." Annette and I drove back to the townhouse and went straight to my bed room. "Are your parents on their honeymoon?" "Unfortunately no" I sighed grabbing my cell phone. "Now get undressed and get in the bed." "What?" I rolled my eyes "Annette you know the deal. Now I don't feel like arguing with you about this." "Fine" she sighed "just turn around why I undress." I smirked "how many times have I seen you naked?" "Do it or I'll leave." I did as she wanted and turned around dialing Kathryn's number. When her voice came on I told her "it's done. Is she still around?" "Yeah" I started slipping off my own clothes "good we're ready." "Ok" she then hung up and I turned around to find Annette under the covers. I climbed in next to her and noticed the curious glance she was sending my way. "What?" "Are you going to tell me what's going on?" I shrugged "you know everything you need to know." "Oh I doubt it. So I'm guessing Kathryn is in on this little scheme of yours. I'm just curious, what you guys are trying to accomplish?" "Annette we-" I suddenly heard the familiar sound of a door closing. "Shut up" I instructed her before pulling her mouth towards mine. As she returned the kiss the bedroom door opened and Kathryn came in saying "Sebastian I got away. Oh my god!" I pulled apart from Annette who was looking at us both with confusion. "Kathryn I didn't mean to-" "Oh my god how could you?" She wailed as tears began to come down her eyes. "I thought you loved me?" "I do it's just-" "What's going on in here? Kathryn I told you not to go near Sebastian's room" Tiffani yelled but her expression fell to surprise once she saw me and Annette. "Oh my well that didn't take long." I glared at her "fuck off this doesn't concern you." "Oh it most certainly does. I knew you would revert to form. Just like your father." "God" Kathryn cried "I can't believe I trusted you. As soon as my back is turned you go running back to that little slut." "Excuse me? Your calling me a slut that's priceless" Annette hissed. "Enough, look Kathryn it wasn't going to work between us and you know it." She shook her head "you didn't even give it a chance. We could have found a way to be together." "Right" I scoffed "like you would ever break away from mommy and your precious fortune. Did you really expect me to just wait it out till you decided to grow a back bone?" "You son of a bitch!" Kathryn screamed now angry "I can't believe I wasted all that time with you. Your just like all the rest!" Kathryn then began sobbing uncontrollably and Tiffani put her arm around her. "It's ok sweetheart why don't you go back to my room and wait for me." Looking once more at Annette and I Kathryn ran from the room and Tiffani turned to us all smiles "see Sebastian I told you it would never last and I didn't even have to lift a finger." "Shut up" I grumbled. "Oh don't worry I'll let you and your trash continue on. Just don't even think about trying to reconcile with my daughter." "No problem" is hissed at her as she left. Annette was staring slack jawed at me. "Good god that women is sadistic." Falling back against my pillow I sighed "you have no idea." * * * * * * Later that night after Annette had left I paced my floor waiting for the phone to ring. When it finally did I nearly tripped over myself to get to it. "Kathryn?" "It worked she's letting me stay." I smiled letting out a sigh of relief "she bought it?" "Every word. She kept going on and on about what assholes you and our father are and how I was a fool to trust you. I just cried some more and told her how happy I was to be getting away so I wouldn't have to see you and Annette together." "And she's letting you stay?" "As soon as I said it she told me she wanted me to stay in New York. The sick bitch just wants to see me miserable." "Lovely but at least it worked." "Yes" after a long pause she asked "so Annette's gone?" "No she's in the shower. I was just about to go join her." "Is that suppose to be a joke" she asked dead serious. I smiled "of course it is. You don't think I really enjoyed being with her and watching you get hurt?" "I don't know you seemed to be enjoying that kiss." "She's nothing to me Kathryn. She doesn't even compare to you" "Good. Well now that I'm staying are you ready for the next part of the plan?" "What's next?" "Well you're going on a vacation of sorts..." - to be continued |
