Jacob Williams

As soon as I landed in Los Angeles, I went straight to her house. Her grandfather greeted me right away when I arrived even though it's late at night. I borrowed my other friend's jet to go to LA.

"Jacob, what brings you here?" Tim asked.

"I had a meeting earlier and I thought why not go visit Catherine. I hope you don't mind." I smiled politely and he patted my back nodding.

"Of course.. I mean you're going to be a part of our fakily so you can come here anytime you like." He said.

"Thankyou.. is Catherine home? She doesn't answer my calls."

"Oh.. she just got home and she's so drunk." He said and I checked the time. It's almost midnight.

"How come you haven't sleep, Tim?"

"I'm currently watching Fast and Furious." He said as he pointed at the living room.

"Oh.. I see."

"If you go upstairs and go to the second room on the right.. it's Catherine's room." He said and I pointed at the stairs asking him with my eyes if it's okay to go upstrais.

"You can go.. make sure to open the door quitely because everyone's asleep already." He said and I nodded.

"Thankyou so much, Tim." I said and he gestured me to go upstairs. I quickly walked upstairs and opened the 2nd door on the right slowly without knocking because I know she's dead drunk.

My eyes widen to see Catherine sleeping like a ninja. She was sleeping in a really weird pose. I slowly closed the door and I sighed. I can't believe that I came here just because she saw her ex.

I picked up her bridal style fixing her sleeping posture because if she kept sleeping like that.. I bet she will have a sore neck tomorrow. As I put her down, she opened her eyes and her eyes widen when she saw me.

"Jacob?!" She jumped a little when she saw me.

"Surprise?" I said in a sarcastic tone. She looked around as she ran her hands through her hair.

"Having fun with your ex?" I asked in a pissed tone and she turned to me completely confuse.

"What?" She said as she leaned back to the head of the bed. She held on her head and I bet she's having a bad headache.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was around." I said completely lying and she turned to me raising her eyebrows.

"You're in Toronto this morning and you never mentioned that you will come to LA." She said as she laid herself down and closed her eyes.

"Who's with you earlier?" I asked curiously.

"Why should I tell you?" She asked and I sat down on her bed. I took her hand pulling her closer to me.

"I'm your fiance.. did you forget about that?"

"I drank with my brother, Cameron." She said and I shook my head.

"You're lying."

"What do you mean? I know who I drank with and you said I'm lying?" She asked disbelief.

"I kept calling and calling you earlier."

"I drank with my brother! What's wrong with you?!" She bursted angrily and I let out a scoff.

"You were with Eden!" I bursted back.

"Eden? Why are you bringing Eden?"

"You were with Eden earlier? I called you and your ex answered." I hissed and she looked at me like I'm nuts.

"I was drinking with my brother, Cameron." She said looking at me like I grew 2 heads.

"What?"

"You're nuts, Jacob. My head is hurting and I can't believe that you came here just to give me a crazy lecture." She hissed and I sighed.

"But.. you-"

"I was with my brother and maybe he's drunk when he answered your call." She said as she buried her head under the pillow.

"You're not lying to me right?"

"What if I do? Besides.. we're not in that level of the relationship." She said and I turned my attention to the ground. She's right and I felt completely like a fool. I checked the time.

I got up from the bed and walked towards the sofa near the window. I let out a deep sigh as I ran my hands through my hair. I was acting so bizzare earlier.

"What were you thinking?" I said to myself as I sat down on the sofa.

"Yeah.. what were you thinking?" I turned to see Catherine walking towards me. She was a little bit tipsy but she's not completely drunk. She opened the curtain that shows the beautiful moon in the sky. She suddenly chuckled and threw herself on me.

She sat on my lap laughing making me completely confuse. She circled her arms to my neck and I looked at her raising my eyebrows.

"Are you jealous, Mr. Denver?" She looked at me with her seducing eyes and biting her lips.

"Jealous? No." I denied.

"Really? I thought you're so jealous that you flew from Toronto to LA right away."

"Why should I?" I scoffed even though I just did that. She clapped two times and the lights turned off thats second. She giggled as she pulled me closer.

"I thought you were so jealous, Jacob. Ahhh I was wrong then.." She started blabbering weird things.

"You're drunk."

"Eden did call me earlier.. he knew about our future wedding." She laughed and my heart started to burn again. How dare he!

"What did you tell him?"

"I said.. I said.. that he's stupid and then I ended the call." She laughed.

"Good.. you need to block his number." I said and then she crashed her lips to mine. After she kissed me, she giggled and I still can smell alcohol on her.

"Jacob William had a farm.. eee aaaa eee aaaaa yooo."

"Funny, Catherine." I said as I carried her to the bed.

"Now sleep.." I said as I pulled the blanket up to her chin.

"Where will you go?" She asked.

"Sleep beside you." I said and she giggled.

"Okay." And then she fell asleep. I let out a deep sigh and closed my eyes. What did I come here? I was going to turn off the side bed lights when my eyes landed on the engagement ring. She put it on the table again and I took it.

Please don't tell me that she's starting to reconsidering the marriage again?
