Chapter 33
Being followed
“That’s
weird,” I said looking up in the rare view mirror.
“What
is?” Catherine asked looking at me.
“There
is a car, it has been behind us since we drove away from the CSI building.”
Catherine
turned around and gazed at the dark car behind us. “Sara, you’re driving
towards the Strip. That is the main spot for entertainment in Vegas. It’s not
really weird that he is behind us all the way. You’ll see.”
“I
guess you’re right.” I smile at Catherinewingwing that she’s probably right,
and I’m being paranoid.
~*~
He
saw the movement in the car, the blonde bitch turned around and glared at my
car. He knew that he had to make a decision. He drove the car in a parking spot
in front of one of the many casinos.
~*~
Catherine
was looking into her mirror; “See he parked the car in front of the casino.”
“Yeah,
I know I’m being paranoid… don’t mind me.” I grinned hoping that she would let
the topic rest. Catherine laughed at my comment, “Well at least you’re my
paranoid girlfriend.” She placed her hand on my thigh and I covered her hand
with mine.
~*~
I
needed some time alone to take care of a couple of things, so I had asked
Lindsey if she could ask Catherine to watch a movie with her. Catherine agreed
and right now I could hear the noise from the movie as I walked down the
hallway to the living room. “Hey Cath, I’ll be gone for a couple of hours. See
you later.” I say before bending down and giving her a kiss.
“Where
are you going?” She asked surprised by my sudden urge to get out.
“Oh,
I don’t know, I think that I’m going for a walk.”
“Shall
I go with you?”
“No,
I don’t think that Lindsey will like it when I snatch you away from her again…”
“Mom,
you promised!” Lindsey exclaimed in a mock anger. I didn’t even have to ask her
to help me. I almost burst into a giggle when I looked at Lindsey, that kid is
wonderful.
“See
you in a few hours, enjoy the movie.” I grabbed my keys and left the house.
~*~
He
saw her leave the house and for a second he contemplated his next step. Would
he go after her or grab the other bitch. He saw some movement in the house. He
lifted the binoculars up and took a closer look. “Damnit! That child is there.”
He grunted between his teeth. He might be a jerk but he could never hurt a kid.
He figured that it would be better to wait a few more days; they would feel
more confident if there weren't any new murders on those friggin´ lesbians. He
rubbed his arm, the wound still hurt but at least he could still use his arm.
~*~
I
drove towards the mall; practical as I am I had always refused to wear a dress.
I just didn’t feel comfortable in a dress, and besides I would rather buy
clothes that I could wear more than once. Of course I had clothes for special
occasions, but not a single dress, not even a skirt. Well I did have a skirt,
but I kept it in the back of my closet. Catherine had asked me why I never wore
a dress but until now I had refused to buy one. I wanted to surprise Catherine
and I was sure that she wouldn’t expect anything else when she saw me in a
dress. I smiled; I could imagine the way that she would look at me. But that would mean that I had to find one
first.
I
opened the door to one of the stores in the crowded mall. A saleswoman
approached me the second I set a foot into the store. Moments later she was
showing me a couple of dresses for special occasions as she called them. I
didn’t really like them until my eye caught a dress which was just gorgeous.
The dress had a dark red color and it was just the perfect dress. After trying it
on I knew that Catherine would love it.
I
had arranged that I could drop the clothes off at Jenn´s that way Catherine
could never find them when she was searching for clothes. She sometimes wore my
clothes, so my closet wouldn’t be a good hiding place.
Jenn
was eager to see the dress that I had bought and when I finally showed her she
whistled her approval. “Damn Sara, now I really see what my sister sees in you.
You are going to catch her heart forever.” I hugged Jenn, I knew that she had
always supported us and I was grateful for that. I just wished that my family
would be supportive, even if it was a quarter of Jenn’s support.
~*~
Catherine wrapped
her arms around me from behind when I was standing in the kitchen reading the
paper and sipping my coffee. “Did you have a nice walk?” she asked while she
kissed the base of my neck.
“Hmm… yeah I did,
how was the movie.”
“The same as the
other nine times that I’ve seen it. Next time it’s your turn to entertain my
daughter during a movie.”
“Well you’re right
about one thing, she’s your daughter.” Catherine looked at me as if she
couldn’t believe I just said that. It was obvious that she didn’t interpret
that the way that I meant it. She looked at me in silence for a couple of
moments before she turned away. I could hit myself in the head, how could I be
so stupid. I grabbed her hand before she was out of reach and pulled her back
to me.
“Cath, honey, listen
to me. I didn’t mean it as negative as it sounded. It was a joke, you know as
well as I do that Lindsey is just as important as you are in my life. Don’t be
mad.” I trailed a finger along her
cheek before I pulled her closer, into my embrace. “I’m sorry, although I’m not
sure why you doubt me when I make a joke like that?”
“Because, oh, I don’t
know… because some of my exes told me those kinds of things on a daily basis. I
have decided that Lindsey is more important then any relationships. She’s my
baby… I guess that it scares me when I hear those things coming from you, even
if it is just a joke. I have my insecurities too, you know.”
“I’m sorry Cath, I
didn’t know that. I won’t ever say something like that again.” I felt so
stupid, I should have known.
AN: Okay, we are almost at the part that you have been
waiting for, at least I hope so. Make my day with those wonderful reviews and
I’ll try to update A.S.A.P.
