Memories                                           Part 9

Hand in hand Catherine and Vincent arrive at the falls.  Catherine to the
left is the ladies' changing room ours is over there pointing to his right.
You go change and I'll meet you back here.  Vincent came back first and had
his back to Catherine when she returned.  She stopped dead in her tracks at
the sight of him.  He was perfectly built.  Muscular in all the right
places and his thighs were like tree trunks.  Feeling her approval he
turned around.  Catherine are you ready taking in her floor length beach
robe.  Vincent my love you're absolutely perfect as she admired his massive
chest covered in soft golden hair.  Slightly lowering his head Catherine I
am glad my body pleases you. Vincent it more than pleases me with passion
in her voice.  Um Catherine feeling her desire are you ready for our swim?
Yes I am and she slowly loosens the belt on her robe.  As it flowed to the
floor at her feet, Vincent could only stare at her beauty.  The bikini she
had on showed her slender body to perfection.  She had curves in all the right
places she is lovely.  Catherine you are truly breathtaking.  Thank you
Vincent.  Walking to her he lifted her his arms and jumped into the water.
Giggling Vincent you should have told me the water was so cold.  I wanted
to surprise you. Placing her arms around his neck you did sweetheart.
Catherine what is so magical about the falls is that the further you go in
the water the warmer it gets.  I'll show you and he carried her further in.
Yes it is quiet warm here.  This feels wonderful no wonder you come here so
often.  It is a special place for me now it can be ours. I would like that
Vincent.  Ours.  They played in the water like two children. Dunking each
other, racing and taking turns diving.  Their time together was perfect.
Lifting Catherine in his arms Vincent sat her on the edge of the falls and
stood between her legs.  Wrapping his arms around her waist.  So did you
have fun?  Vincent I really did.  I love it here and she lowered her lips
to his.  Separating Catherine placed her head on his shoulders and they
held each other close.  Softly running her fingers through his hair, I love
you Vincent. Wells.   Moving back to look at her.  I love you Catherine
Chandler and they kissed once more. Catherine.  Yes Vincent.  May I love
you?  Looking into his beautiful blue eyes I would like that very much but
only if you're sure.  Catherine I am very sure and he reached behind her
to unclasp her bikini top.

So Vincent and Catherine want to be together.  I don't want them together
but it seems I have no choice.  If I drive Catherine away I lose Vincent.
Decision, Decisions.  Jacob Jacob. Yes Mary.  Am I disturbing you?  No.
Have you seen Vincent and Catherine?  Yes I have.  How are they?  Mary they
are fine.   We had a discussion earlier in Vincent's 'chamber.  And what
happened Jacob?  Well both of them told me that they would be together
regardless of how I feel about it. Jacob you should know when it comes to
true love it is a powerful emotion.   It seems that either you accept them
being together or you could lose your son.  I know Mary.  I know. Well
Jacob it seems you have a lot to think on.  I'll see you later.

At the falls the lovers hold each other close.  Catherine what we just
shared was beautiful and he softly kissed her lips.  Vincent it was wasn't
it.  I love you so.  Catherine taking her hand I cannot live without you.
I want you with me forever.  As I do you Vincent. I can move Below soon if
you want me too.  Catherine If I want you too?  I want that more than
anything.  Kissing her again, he said I hate to end our time alone but we
better head back.  They changed their clothes and hand in hand headed back
to his chamber.  As Catherine hung up their wet clothes, Vincent came
behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close.  I love
you my Catherine.  Turning toward him I love you too and they share a kiss.
I believe we have given father enough time to think about what we said.  Come
let us go see him.  Remember Catherine no matter what father decides we
will be together.  Yes we will and the kiss.

Father Catherine and I have returned.  Jacob I was just wondering as Mary
entered his chamber.  Oh Vincent, Catherine how are you both? Smiling at
each other.  Mary we couldn't be better and Vincent pulled her closer to
him. I can see that (Mary wondering what transpired at the falls).  You too
look so happy. Don't they Jacob?  Ah true love is so grand.  Mary please.
Well it is and I don't know of two people who deserve to be in love more
than these two.  Well it seems the three of you need some privacy.  Jacob
I'll come back later to talk with you.   Mary if what you wish to discuss
is important our discussion can wait.  No Jacob what you all need to
discuss cannot wait.  Bye Catherine and Vincent see you two lovebirds
later.  Both smiled good bye Mary.  So father what have you decided?
Well son I am sorry but I cannot give you my blessing.  Father why are you
being so stubborn about this?  Vincent that woman.  Her name is Catherine.
Well she wants a normal life.  Sharing everything.  Vincent you know there
are things you cannot share with her.  She wants a home, a husband a
family. Vincent what would become of that?  Father I love Vincent and
will never leave him.  If a family is denied me I don't care.  I'll have
Vincent he is all I need.  You say that now. What about a year or two from
now will you still feel the same way.  Yes I will.  I doubt it.  Now if you
don't mind, I want to be alone.    Father your decision is final?  Yes
Vincent it is.  Than father you leave me no choice you just lost your son.
Vincent wait.  Taking Catherine's hand, let us go my love.  I cannot stay
here any longer.  Goodbye father.

Jacob I saw Vincent and Catherine on my way back to your chamber. I asked
them how things were.  They told me to come see you.  Than she noticed the
tears in his eyes.  Mary I have lost him.

Mary placed her hand on Jacob's shoulder.  I am sorry for what happened.  I
tried to tell you.  Vincent is a man now.  He knows what he wants and this
is a life with Catherine.  Jacob you have to understand how he feels.  You
love him.  We all do but that is not the only love he wants and needs.
Jacob Vincent is different he has dreams.  He wants a normal life which
includes the love of a beautiful woman.  Can you sit there and deny him
his dream?  The love he and Catherine share, their Bond their connection is
different from anything we have ever seen.  Jacob it is a miracle.  What
they have will never exist again.  They were meant to be together can't you
see that.  Vincent has confided in me.  He loves Catherine with all that he
is.  He could never love again.  He doesn't want too.  His heart never
could.  He needs Catherine to live.   How can you take your son's life
away?  Mary I am not trying to do that.  I am trying to protect him.
Protect him from what love?  Comer on Jacob you were in love before.  You
know how it feels.  Yes it was wonderful. But you lost your only love.  You
know how much it hurt.  How could you want Vincent to experience that pain?
We both know you would have done anything possible to keep Margaret .
You lost her Jacob.  Think how it would be for Vincent.  Mary I don't know
what to do.  You can love your son and give him your blessing before its
too late.  Now I will leave you to think so more.  I'll see you at dinner.
