The End Of A Dream Part 8 Sitting at the kitchen counter, Vincent watched as Catherine prepared their breakfast. He remembered what they had shared that morning and smiled. "I knew loving you would be wonderful Catherine." "Do you have any regrets about the change in our relationship ?" "You can tell me." "I want no secrets between us." "Vincent sweetheart, you know me and I cannot hide my feelings from you." "There is nothing to regret." Right now I am in heaven." "You were magnificent need I say more" and she smiled. Returning her smile, he said "Catherine the way you loved me made me feel like a man for the first time in my life." "Vincent you are a beautiful man and I love you." "We are perfect together." "Yes we are." "Catherine, his voice serious, how did you become so ill?" Lying her spatula down and lowering the flame on the stove, she went to him and took his hand. "Vincent when you broke up with me, I stopped caring." 'I worked till late at night and barely ate." "I would shower go out on the balcony hoping you would come." "Night after night I waited there no matter what the weather was. " "I had even slept some nights in a patio chair afraid to go inside thinking I would miss you." "I guess I did this once too often." "Catherine lightly rubbing her hand, had I known I would have came to you." "I knew how much it would hurt feeling your happiness with Elliot so I closed off our Bond." "Your getting sick was my fault." "Vincent do not blame yourself, when I really needed you, you were there." Your love pulled me through this." 'I had to live for you, for our dream and she softly kissed his lips. Turning back toward the stove, " how would you like your eggs?" "Scrambled would be fine." Walking around the counter he placed his arms around waist and said breakfast smells delicious but you did not have to do the cooking." "You are still recovering." "I wanted to cook for you." "I feels nice." "You feel nice and he kissed her neck distracting her to steal a piece of bacon." Lightly swatting his hand, be good, the food is almost ready." If want to, you can set the table". "The plates are in the last cabinet on the left." "The silverware is the second drawer on the right." "There is orange juice in the refrigerator unless you want coffee or tea?" "Orange juice is fine." Once the table was set Catherine served their food. "This is delicious Catherine my compliments to the chef." "Thank you Vincent I am glad you like it." "So what would you like us to do today? "In the mood for a game."? "That depends on what kind of game and he gently rubbed her foot beneath the table." Smiling she said, "I meant like Checkers or Scrabble." "We can play the other game a little later flirting with him." "Catherine which game is quicker?' Looking at him she saw his eyes turn a darker shade of blue with desire, and said "Checkers." Afternoon came and went finding Vincent and Catherine loving in bed. She would never have thought a simple game of checkers could be sensuous but she never played them with Vincent. Half way though the game they returned to the bedroom declaring the game a draw.
