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. To be concluded in Part 10 <> |
