Memories Part 6 Releasing her hand he closed the iron gate and door behind them. As they walked in silence Vincent could feel the joy inside Catherine being Below before she spoke. Vincent I cannot believe how I have missed being in your world. It is kind of magical here. Putting her arm through his, she rested her head on his arm. Thank you for letting me return. I wasn't sure that you would let me come back after what happened before. I feel more at home here than I do above. Closing his eyes feeling her nearness, he said Catherine you are welcome here anytime. Vincent it is wonderful knowing that I have a place to seek refuse from the hussel, bussel, hurt and pain in the world above. A place surrounded by warmth, comfort and love. You know Vincent I would love to live here. Vincent stopped walking and turned toward her. Catherine you would give up your life above to live here? Vincent if I had a good reason yes, I would give up everything. This statement shocked Vincent and he had to ask her Catherine if someone loved you and you loved them, you would willing give up your friends, your family and your life for this man. Yes Vincent to me if the right guy comes along our love would be worth everything. I would need nothing else but his heart and maybe his children. Vincent to me love is all that matters. Traveling, my job and my friends could never replace true love. I would want to spend my nights in his arms, wake up in his arms and spend every possible moment together. Vincent if you fell in love what would you want? Catherine if I loved a woman I would cherish each moment we are together. I would give her all the love inside me. I would give her all that I am. Catherine if I met this special woman I could not offer her much. Only myself and my world below. But Catherine that is only a dream I cannot have that kind of love being as I am. I am not meant to love. Vincent why must you keep saying that? Catherine I thought I was in love once before. A beautiful girl who lived Below her name was Lisa. She was an excellent dancer. She would dance for me and only me. One day we were together in the grand hall and she was dancing. She looked so lovely and graceful a prima ballerina and I desired her. I held her in my arms than she became frightened and asked me to let her go. Catherine these hands would not release her. She backed away from me and these hands hurt her. These hands were not made to love and the tears fell from his eyes. Taking his hands within hers, she said your hands are beautiful Vincent, placing a soft kiss on each one. No Catherine they are not. Vincent and she places them around her waist hold me. Drawing her close a sigh escaped his lips. Hold me tighter I am not frightened. I love your arms around me. Your touch warms me all over. Vincent I need your touch. Catherine I need you in my arms. Holding each other close she decided now was the time to tell him how she felt. Raising her head off his chest, she looked up into his eyes Vincent I have fallen in love with you. Closing his eyes he laid her head back upon his chest and smooths her hair. Catherine I have fallen in love with you as well. They held each other for a while than Vincent placed his finger under her chin, raised her head and captured her lips to his own. Vincent. Vincent where are you? It was father. Separating both blushing almost being caught. Father we are here. Noticing their appearances, he said oh I thought you were alone. (Catherine did not miss the unhappy tone of his voice). Father Catherine will be spending the night Below. She missed everyone and wanted to see them again. I see son. Well Catherine come, taking her arm, let us go find everyone. Remembering the incident with Lisa father did not want Catherine and Vincent alone any longer. Part 7 <> |
