Shared Dream Part 2 When they stepped into his chamber, as always, Catherine felt this is where she belonged. The soft lighting and d�cor are as unique as Vincent is. Turning toward him she spoke, "I could get use to being here" and she walked into his arms. It was barely a whisper but she heard him "I could get use to you being here." Resting her head upon his chest, she said "Vincent have you ever been somewhere and you know its right that you're there? "Yes Catherine I have." "Your world is so different from mine, yet I am comfortable here in your arms, in your world." Sighing Vincent said, "Catherine I wish you could always be here. As I hold you right now, I dare to think of the possibilities of sharing a life with you. This room that I have slept in since childhood, seems empty when you are not here." Gently stroking her back, he savored the moment for a little while. He did not want to forget the reason they had come here, so he asked, "if she was ready to talk?" Slowly she removed herself from his embrace to sit on his bed and Vincent joined her. Pulling her close, he said "tell me Catherine?" "For about a week now, I have had this dream. I don't know where I am or how I got there. It's dark, I am alone, cold, wet and frightened. Before I awaken from this dream I hear the sound of running water. You knew I was troubled but I did not want to worry you about this until I understood it myself." Holding her tight, he said "always remember you cannot hide things from me. I share all your feelings. Catherine I know your thoughts. I too have felt this dream. I awaken in a cold sweat with a sense of fear surrounding me. I am feeling the fear in you Catherine. I have tried to figure out what this means but I cannot. Do you have any thoughts on this my love?" "No Vincent, I really don't. I have went around and around with this only to end up more confused than before. Nothing seems familiar about this dream. It has me at a loss." "Catherine I do not want to frighten you, that is the last thing I wish to do, I feel this is a premonition of some kind. During your stay this weekend, I want you here in my chamber where I can protect you." "Vincent you know father will be against this" "Catherine I make my own decisions when it comes to you. He may object to this but I will not change my mind." Since that is settled , my love would you like to freshen up before dinner.?" "Yes I would like that very much Vincent. Can you show me where?" Taking her hand, they walked the distance to the Chamber of Falls. "Vincent, said Catherine looking around it is so beautiful here." "I call it my private utophia.. Others use it once in a while. I spend a lot of time here. I come here to think and to be alone. The sound of the water, soothes me." "I can see how it would Vincent." "Catherine I will leave you here for a little while. Wait for me to return for you." "I will my love." Part 3 Shirley's Fanfic Index |
