CATHEDRAL'S POV

The sunlight was pouring down on my face and disturbing my sleep, when I felt someone move the curtain and block the sunlight. Nevertheless I was up. I opened my eyes to see the most beautiful sight I wished to see every morning. Jason stood there smiling and looking at me wearing nothing but his sweatpants and I looked down myself to see That I was in his shirt.

" Good morning." I said as my voice not clear.

" Morning, how are you feeling?"

" Blessed and obsessed with the man standing in front of me."  Despite the soreness I was feeling good.

" Are you sore?" He was concerned.

" A little bit."

"Take a warm shower, You'll feel good."

" Okay." I said as I got off the bed.

" But before that I need something." He said as he caught me in his arms.

" Ah-ah , morning breath." I said and turned my head away. His fingers went to my cheek as he made me look towards him.

"Doesn't matter." He husked as I felt his lips on mine. The kiss was soft and expressed love.

" Woman, I am in love with you." Jason whispered against my lips.

" I love you, Jason."

" Wanna go out for breakfast?" He asked.

" Sure, I'll be down in fifteen, just need a shower."

" Can I join?" Jason asked seductively.

" Get out!" I pushed him to the door.

" Funny, last time I checked it was my room."

" Very, but last time I checked, I was your girlfriend, so, GET OUT!"

I quickly took a warm shower, which eased all my sore muscles and wore the dress from yesterday. Grabbing my purse, I got out and saw Jason on his laptop.

" Hey, you are not allowed to work on your birthday!" I said as I closed his laptop.

" Sorry, mom."

As a response I smacked his head hard.

" Easy there,Wes."

" Let's go."

------------------------------------------------------

I munched on my churros and sipped on my coffee.

" Dad has set up the apartment for me. It's not far from your place."

" Why don't you live with me? I mean it will be convenient for us to work together."

" Are yo-" 

" I am asking you to move in with me,Wes"

I was speechless, All I wanted was to start my day with him and end it with him.

"Yes, I will." 

I was so excited to go to New York today, And had you asked me a few days ago I would have avoided going like plague.

We both had much to do, to pack and still work. 

I had to work on many files of the New York headquarters, before the party that Jason's parents were throwing him, much to his dismay, he could not miss it and I wouldn't.

It was seven in the evening when my mother barged into my room holding many bags and throwing them onto my piles of files.

" Mom, I am working" I shouted.

" Get ready it's seven already." She was beyond pissed by looking at the condition of my room.

I entered into the shower and washed myself clean and dried myself with the fluffy towel.

I wore the heavy gown that my mom gave me. I looked in the mirror and was left speechless as I saw my reflection, the girl in the mirror looked breathtaking, the grey gown hugging my curves perfectly and was flowy from below my knee. Then it struck me, It was similar to the gown I wore at high school prom, when I unknowingly met Jason.

I wore the pendant he gave me and applied a nude shade of lipstick and a bit of eyeliner, keeping it as natural as I could. I took my purse along with the very special gift I had made for Jason. 

"Honey, you look pretty!" My mom exclaimed as I got down the stairs. 

" Thanks mom, I think we should leave or else we would be a little later than fashionably late." I said singing the last part.

We headed to the Blake mansion where the party was organised. A sweet voice greeted me.

" Aunt Cathy!" A small figure hugged my legs.

" Oh hey! you must be the very famous Samantha, I've been hearing of" Samantha Collins was the three-year old  daughter of Jared and Vanessa. She had Blond hair and dark eyes.

" You are really pwetty"

" Thank you love, but you are the real charmer here." She smiled at me.

" There you are Sam, I've been searching for you" Luciana, the maid of the house came.

" She's all yours." I said and she smiled at me before taking Samantha with her.

Then I went straight to Vanessa, who was standing near to the bar.

" Hey Vanessa, you are rocking that dress." She really looked hot in her yellow dress.

" Oh, hey Cathedral!" She slurred while sipping on her martini. 

" You look good too." She continued.

" Have you seen the birthday boy by any chance?"

" Oh I just saw him around with some..suits" She laughed, she was definitely drunk.

" Are you going to be okay, I think you had one too many drinks?" I asked as I pulled her with me, I had to get her to Jared.

"Oh..No I am peachy!" She squeaked.

"Come on let's go!"I said as I pulled her into the garden where I spotted Jared.

"Jared!" I shouted.

" What happened to her, where is Samantha?" Jared panicked.

"She is drunk of out her mind and Samantha is with Luciana. " I replied.

"Thanks for bringing her to me," Jared took her from me.

Now I had to find the birthday boy. I met many important people, Investors, clients and even directors.

I went to the bar and picked up a random glass, when I got a call from the Matt.

"Matt, What's up?" I sipped on whatever drink was in my hand,

" Ma'am, you have some documents to sign before going to New York."

" Can it wait till tomorrow? I can't come right now"

" Of course, We have the Danwell's deal to go through too."

I felt two arms wrap around and breath fanning on my neck, draining me of my senses.

" I'll call you later, Matt." I said and I cut the call.

" Who's Matt?" A possessive voice asked. 

" Jealousy, I smell." I said as he breathed into my neck.

" Hmm, You didn't answer me." He whispered in my ears.

"  Matt is my dad's assistant, but the real question is where have you been?" I turned to face him.

" Business, as much as I hate this party."

" Happy  Birthday , I have a little something for you."

" You have done en-" I cut him off.

" The last one, I promise, here." I handed him the gift box.

He opened the box. His expression looked puzzled.

" An album?" He asked.

" Go ahead and look inside." It contained every single image of us, back in my college days. It had photos of our little trip to around the hills, College dance, the one that dad took on our not-very-first date and the one where he had lifted me off the ground walking through the beach.

" I love it" His face gleamed with happiness.

" And I love you." 

" Say that again." He pulled me closer by my waist.

" I am in love with you, Jason." 

" No matter how many times you say it, I always long for hearing it one more time."

" Well we have a lifetime to do that, but now you and I have a party to attend."

" Oh yeah..Nope." He said teasingly as I was thrown over his shoulder.

" Jason put me down, we have a party-"

" To ditch so I can have you all to myself."

" Jason please." I pleaded.

He did not respond as he carried me further and up the stairs to the roof and he put me down.

" You know, I love that dress, reminds me of the prom."

" When I did not know it was you and-"

" Yeah and the gay DJ accidentally pulled up the wrong high school clip." We laughed so hard at that.

" The sky is beautiful, the roof is a beautiful place."

" Yeah..Well I used to smoke here back in junior year."

" You used to smoke?"

" Not anymore, but it does remind me of the time when you got real drunk at the party and let's just say it was not fun."

" What happened, I was d-" He cut me off amusingly.

" Drunk beyond the night and you punched a girl while dancing and believe me I had to drag you out of there."

" No, I can't possibly punch someone!"

" That's what I thought Wes, but you begged to differ." He continued and my words were...lost .

" I would be lying to say that I am not scared of you."

" But at the same time you amuse me, you confuse me, you make me someone I never was and bring out the best of me."

" That was so poetic." I was amazed beyond words at his confession.

" Poet for you." He said and kissed me. We needed to be back soon or else our parents will send a search party for us.

" Come on!" I whined pulling him with me to down stairs.

"Cathedral, god, we have been looking for you two everywhere!" Elena sighed in relief.

" I am so sorry, but we were ju-" I wanted to tell her that we were just on the roof for a bit of air but Jason had to complete my sentence and make something totally inappropriate out of it. I could tell all of this by the smirk that was plastered on his handsome face. 

" We were a little occupied mom." Jason cut me off.

" Jason!" I exclaimed in horror.

"What? We were just talking because yo-" 

" Okay, that's enough" Aaron cut him off.

" Your parents have been searching for you Cath." Elena  added.

"I'll find them, thank you." Embarrassed me, went to search for my parents.

"Dad , I heard you were searching for me?" I found my dad talking to a lady.

" Oh, there you are darling, I wanted to tell you that me and your mom are leaving and I guess you will find no difficulty coming back home?" He asked looking at me.

" I will be alright dad."I assured him.

I roamed around for a while in the garden when I heard breaking of glass. 

" Vanessa?"

" Alex, you knew him right?" She looked at me with disgust.

" You are drunk to the bones." I wanted not to lose my calm.

" He left me to go follow you." She yelled and was crying by now.

" He was after my money, did you not hear that he has tried to kill me?" I tried to explain to her.

" He ditched me for you!" She totally ignored my words and came closer to me.

" There was nothing in between u-" I tried to control my tears.

" SHUT UP!" She shouted as I winced back.

" You ruined Alex's life, I won't let you ruin my brother's life too." I was taken back by her words, she hated me so much! But why? Just because of a person who was like a brother to me and the one to tried to kill me, twice.

" It was all fake wasn't it?" I asked her and blinked my eyes rapidly.

" How could you possibly think I would like you as a person, leave alone as my brother's girlfriend." She spit venom along her words.

" I did not even know that you and Alex were-" I tried to clear it.

" He cared so much for you!" 

" NO" I screamed.

" You don't hur-" She was rudely cut off.

" What is going on in here?" a loud voice asked. I looked around to see Jason and Jared.

"HOW COULD YOU BE IN LOVE WITH HER, HUH?" Vanessa asked to Jason and pushed him back but he did not move an inch.

"You are so wasted, you do not realise what are you saying" Jason spoke in a dangerous tone. He was angry.

" I won't let this whore ruin you!" Her words hurt me and brought back too many unwanted memories.

" SHUT THE HELL UP VANESSA!" Jason shouted, his rage was visible as his breathing was very heavy.

" Get her inside, Jason, I'll drop Cathedral home." Jared spoke. Jason looked unsure.

" Only you are capable of explaining her, trust me I'll drop her safely." He continued assuring Jason.

The ride home was silent, but the ringing of the questions inside my head won't stop.

" Am I a whore?" 

We reached my house and I got out of the car.

" Cathedral, I am sorry for Vanessa's behaviour-"

" Good night Jared, thanks for bringing me home." I quickly wiped my tears as I ran into my house, before curling up in my room and crying myself to sleep.
