a little while. I love you my dear.
Your Lover,
Victor Blackwell
Kattie put the note on the table and threw the roses away. She went upstairs and searched in every room to make sure
that there was nobody there. There wasn't. She sat on her bed and began to think. She was thinking about just ending this
torture of waiting for him to hurt Jack again and the waiting for him to come for her. She was thinking about going to the park
like he had said. She really didn't want to get Jack hurt again. But she didn't want to leave Jack. She thought about it some
more and came to a conclusion. She would wait until the 25th of July, make it to where Jack was away and go to Victor. She
would stop it then. But she wouldn't go before. She made up her mind. She wouldn't change her mind at all. She was going
to get rid of the problem for Jack, even if it meant being miserable and taking the chance of getting hurt for the rest of her
life. She went down to the kitchen and got a bottle of brandy and a glass. She sat down at the table and poured the brandy
into the glass. She drank it down without taking a break. Then she filled her glass up again and just stared at it. She took it
into the living room and layed on the couch on her stomach. She dropped the glass and it shattered on the floor spilling
the brandy on the floor. She wasn't drunk but she got a little tipped and didn't car about anything at the time. She just layed
there and fell asleep.
The next morning there was a knock on the door. But Kattie was still sleeping. The glass that was shattered and the
brandy that now stained the floor was still there. Jack was waiting outside ready to take her on a tour of his castle. He
knocked again. Still no one answered. he looked in through the window and saw Kattie just plopped on the couch sleeping.
He went to open the door, it was unlocked. He began to worry. He went in and saw the shattered glass and the stain that the
brandy left on the floor. He went over to her and knelt beside her. He shook her shoulder a little bit, "Kattie? Kattie?" Kattie
jumped up, "What? Jack? What are you doing here?" Kattie sat up and put her hands on her head, "My head hurts." Jack
combed his hand through her hair rubbing her head, "I came over to bring you to my castle and you didn't answer. I looked
in through the window and saw you just lying here. I was worried that something had happend to you so I came in. Your
door was unlocked so I got even more worried". He looked at the shattered glass then back at her, "But it seems that
you've been drinking. If I may ask, why? Why were you drinking?" Kattie brought her head up and looked at him, "No
reason. Just needed something stronger than water to drink. I really don't know why I did. Or even what I did when I got
home last night." She lied. She remembered everything. The letter, the roses, what she planned to do. Everything. Jack
didn't think so but he asked, "Did I do something wrong at the picnic yesturday? Is that why?" Kattie snapped at him, "Don't
be silly. You've been nothing but nice and loving to me. You did nothing wrong. Everything was perfect." Jack sat next to
her, "I just wanted to make sure. --" He paused and thought about the first note and package Victor had sent her, "-- Did
you get another package from him?" Kattie leaned her head on his arm and held his arm, "No. I didn't get nothing from him.
Don't worry. I didn't get nothing." Jack didn't believe that she was telling the truth but he wasn't going to question her about
it. Not now. He leaned back with his back against the couch and sighed. "Well is there anything I can do to help your head?"
Kattie got up and went to walk to the kitchen, "I got some medicine in the kitchen cabinet to get rid of the pain." Jack got up,
"Well, sit down I'll get it. You just relax." Kattie turned around and stopped him in his tracks, "I can get it. Just sit down. I
made my head hurt so I can make it stop." Jack sighed as Kattie continued to walk into the kitchen. When she was in the
kitchen he walked out after her. He didn't spot the letter on the table as he passed into the other side of the kitchen where
she was. He put his arms around her stomach and started kissing her neck. Kattie leaned against him, "Didn't I tell you that
I would get it?" He lifted his head and put his chin on her her shoulder, "Why won't you let me help you?" Kattie feared that
he saw the letter and read it. "I wanted to do it myself. It's not your fault that I decided to drink and give myself this head-
ache." Kattie took the medicine and took a drink of water. Then she took Jack into the living room by his hand hoping that
he wouldn't see the note. He didn't. "Why don't you come with me to my castle and I'll give you a tour of the place? Your
headache should be gone by the time we get there." Jack asked her. Kattie nodded and they left.
Kattie and Jack arrived at his castle about a hour later. They just sat there for a few moments. Jack asked, "Is your head-
ache gone?" Kattie looked at him, "Yes thank you. After you?" Jack got out and helped her out. They walked up to the door
and the door opened right up. The butler was bowed letting them in, "Good afternoon, my lord, my lady." Jack led her to his
library. They walked in and he said, "This is the library. The place where I read all my books. This was where I was when I
first met you." Jack swirled her around into his arms, "I remember I asked you to go to the ball with me and you blew me
off." Kattie looked into his eyes, "I wasn't going to come." She looked at his lips, "But something about you made me go."
He smiled, "Was it my charm?" Kattie kissed him, "Because for some reason, I wanted to do that." Jack grinned, "Then
why don't we?" He kissed her. Kattie was finding it harder to do what she was going to do each moment with every kiss. It
made her weak in the knees. But Kattie was going to do it anyway. Kattie pulled away, "Why don't you show me where your
bedchamber is?" Jack grabbed her hand, "It would be my pleasure." He led her down the hall and up the stairs. They were
heading to the room all the way at the end of the hall. Kattie shut the door and locked it when they walked in. She asked,
"So this is where you sleep at night?" Jack went and held her in his arms, "Yes. Are you sleeping here tonight?" Kattie
got on her toes and said, "That depends. Am I allowed?" Jack laughed, "You're allowed here when ever you want like I
said before." Kattie replied, "Then I'll stay." "Good." Jack kissed her. They kissed and moved their hands on each others
back. Kattie took his shirt and untucked it from his pants taking it off. She threw his shirt on the floor and put her hands on
his chest. Jack started to take her dress off when there was a knock on the door. Jack pulled back and cursed under his
breath. Kattie moved over to the side out of the way of sight. Jack unlocked the door and opened slightly so he could see
and hear the person at the door. It was his butler. He said, "My lord, sorry to disturb you. But there's a gentleman here to
see you he sayd it's urgent. Do you wish me to tell him to come another time?" Jack replied, "No. I'll be there in a moment.
Please have him wait in my office for me." The butler bowed, "Yes my lord." Jack shut the door and went over and held
Kattie in his arms. He kissed her, "Someone's here to speak with me. I'll only be a minute. Wait for me?" Kattie went and
handed his shirt to him. She helped put it on and tucked it in, "Of course. I'll be in bed when you return." Jack hated to leave
but he had to. Jack left and shut the door behind him. Kattie turned the light off and got undressed. She layed in the bed
with the only a sheet covering her.
Jack came in and took his boots off. "Sorry I took so long. Damn farmers fighting over something that could have been
handled more appropiately." He continued getting fully undressed and climbed in the bed with Kattie. Kattie replied, "That's
okay. As long as you're here now." Kattie kissed him and brought him on top of her. He kissed her and connected them
two. Made them as one. He rode her. They took turns riding each other and they kissed each other like they would never
see each other again. Like they would never be alone again. Although, Kattie knew that after the 25th, they wouldn't be.
When they were both too exhilerated and exhausted, Jack fell to the bed beside her. She crawled up in his arms and he put
his arm around her. They layed there silent for a while. Then Kattie broke the silence and whispered, "I love you." Jack
kissed her forehead, "I love you too. Kattie can I ask you something about this morning?" Kattie replied, "Ask away."
Jack asked, "What were you hiding from me?" Kattie sat up to her elbow and leaned her head on her hand, "Nothing. Why
would I hide something from you?" Jack said, "Well if I remember correctly you were thinking that everything was your
fault and you were saying that when he came that you were going to go. And I don't think that you just drink for nothing. You
didn't convince me this morning about you not getting nothing from him again. Did you?" Kattie shook head and looked
away, "I didn't get nothing from him. And I was going to do that before you so openly promised to protect me. But I'm not
going to do that no more. I couldn't leave you. I love you too much." Kattie layed her head down on his chest and sighed.
She felt bad because she was lying. She knew it would break his heart when she left. But she hoped that when the time
came that he knew that she did it to protect him. Jack massaged her scalp and combed his hand through her hair. He
sighed, "I
