Notes: I am actually going to keep going after this chapter. Try something different, since I have never continued after the "happy ending" scene. Although don't doubt that it will end with another one!
Well, break out the marshmellows 'cause here comes the fluff!
.:Best Friend's Wedding:.
Chapter Four
Catherine sat at Gil's desk, forehead resting on her hands, having given up all pretext of completing the paperwork she had randomly grabbed from her office. She had not wanted to stay there, so she had come here. Where no one, hopefully, would disturb her. The events of the morning running through her head yet again. If she had been standing up when Lindsey had said that Gil loved her instead of Linda, Catherine woudld have collapsed. She came close to having a heart attack, though. It was like a fantasy come to life with a strange twist. That Lindsey was wrong. She hadn't heard what Lindsey had said to Gil after that, but she could imagine. Gil had then led Linda back into the dressing room, and Catherine had left. She didn't really know why; she had made it that far. Something inside her had just snapped and she had had to leave. She was sure that Gil had probably explained everything to Linda, and they were both happily married right now. The thought made her want to cry, but no tears came.
Head still buried in her hands, she missed the quiet click as the door shut. But the hand on her shoulder startled her, and she jerked upright. Somehow she knew who it was without even turning around.
"Gil?" She asked, turning so she could see him.
His gaze was serious.
"Catherine, why are you here?"
She knew what he meant, but chose to ignore it.
"I had some paperwork I had to catch up on..."
"Cath..." He interrupted her.
"Alright. I was embarassed because of the scene with Lindsey, okay?"
He looked almost disappointed.
"You would miss your best friend's wedding because you were embarrassed? Catherine, I know you better than that. What's wrong? And don't tell me nothing because I won't believe you."
"Speaking of your wedding, why are you here? Shouldn't you be at the church with Linda, feeding each other cake or something?" The bitterness unintentionally slipped into her tone.
"Catherine...We're not getting married."
"What?!"
"You heard me. We called the wedding off. Your daughter is one smart girl."
"What?"
Gil smiled something that could only be described as a cross between a grin and a smirk.
"Is that all you can say?"
"Oh! Umm, no. I was just...surprised. You two seemed to l-like eachother alot." She hoped he would miss her slip. She couldn't bring herself to say the word. And it truly hadn't seemed like they were as in love as they could be, although that could have been her extreme jealousy kicking in.
Unfortunately for Catherine, he did notice.
"We did. We *liked* eachother alot. But neither of us *loved* each other. You see, Cath," He moved closer to her. "I didn't look at her like this..." His beautiful crulean eyes bored into hers, emotions so raw and intense that her knees turned to jelly and butterflies came to life in her stomach.
"I didn't touch her like this."
He took her hands and guided her to a standing position, inches from him. His fingers slid ever so softly over her cheeks, causing the lids that been wide open from shock to slowly slide shut, covering the deep blue orbs.
Gil's voice got so soft she could barely hear it.
"I didn't love her like this."
And leaned over to brush her lips with his, gentle as the touch of a butterfly. He drew back, his eyes questioning hers.
"Oh, Gil. I love you too. So much. Do you have any idea what I went through? The nights I spent -"
Her words were cut off by a kiss that was more demanding and passionate than the last one. They broke off, and Catherine smiled.
"Impatient much?"
"You have no idea."
"Oh, I beg to differ..."
