The Beast

1267 Words
It was sunday morning. Caterina prepared for breakfast a bunch of fried eggs with bacon, pancakes and some strawberries. Oh, she loved strawberries! She also made coffee for everyone. Her older brothers woke up around 9 a.m. Jack was a tall, blonde guy who obeyed their mum and almost never smiled. Liam, being a year younger then his brother, was a little bit more relaxed. His hair was also blonde, but ragged and curly. He was always kind to Caterina, he appreciated that she cooks their meals, cleans their rooms, does the laundry... Every now and then, he would give her some money too. So, knowing them already, it was no surprise morning started like this... "Mum is coming back tonight. Clean the house and prepare dinner."- Jack ordered beetwen the bites. "It's not even dirty, Jack. I cleaned yesterday and I have a shift at " April Fool's" tonight.... Starting at 8.p.m."- she mumbled. Jack raises his eyebrows at her. "Do you really need two jobs, Cate? You have more then you would ever need. You're just a spoiled brat."- he says nervously. "Anyways, I don't really care how you handle all that. Wait for mum tonight, she has some big news for you."- he adds while jumping down the bar stool. "Liam, I give you 2 minutes."- he says menacingly and gets out the backdoor. Caterina swallows the lump, not understanding why does her brother behave like that. It saddens her everytime. "Big news from mum! Hmmm.... Maybe she ll' allow me to buy a yellow t- shirt!"- she says sarcastically biting the fluffy pancake. Liam laughs out loud, almost spitting the eggs. " Or maybe, she is planning to stay at home for 2 nights in a row!"- Liam continues. They laugh together and Caterina treasures these little moments with Liam, where they seem ...like a normal family. But, the reality kicks in. "LIAM, MOVE YOUR ASS , LET'S GO!"- their older brother screams from the car. Liam gets serious, coughs and whispers: " Gotta go! Love you, Sis!"- he gives her a peck on the cheek. She smiles back and messes his hair. After they go, she does the dishes and deep cleans all the house. It was not good thing to disobey Jack; she felt it on her skin a couple of times. After spending most of the day doing the chores, Caterina finally relaxes under a hot shower. The boiling water on her skin burned, but she liked it. It was strange she enjoyed her showers that much, but after she would take off her clothes, her friendship bracelet Liz made for her and the necklace ( that mum strictly forbided ever taking off ), Cate would feel...free. As tough she was weightless, her head was not heavy, but full of daydreams of one certain stranger. She closes her eyes while water pours down her face, just to see him again. He is so handsome. Tall, dark eyes looking at her like they want to eat her alive. His hair is raven black, curly, falling to his shoulders. His lips are perfectly full and they always invite her to kiss him. But, she never dares to step closer. Is this a dream or a memory? The stranger whispers something, but she can not hear. His voice is tempting, tough. Deep, growly, she'd say. That is why she calls him the Beast. Caterina's hands unconsinuosly travel on her body. Her n*****s get hard at the thought of him, she gets wet, so wet while she caresses her down there... "Aah...", a soft moan escapes her lips. How is it possible to feel this way about someone, who doesn't exist? Or does he? ********************************************* Caterina Williams will never recall what was different that night. Was it her loneliness? Was it the desire she held in her soul for almost a year now?( because she dreamt of the stranger since she turned seventeen). The wind was strong that evening and the snowflakes were falling down, covering her little town. She was already late for her work, but she persisted this time. You see, Caterina was drawing him. Her long, black hair still dripping wet, white towel around her body and a pen in her left hand. She draw,and draw untill she wasn't satisfied. Finally, she takes a deep breath in and looks at the white piece of paper. His portrait was extremly realistic. She even pointed out the scar he has on his right cheek and the dimple that peeks out from his half smile. Eyes, dark and full of secrets; his orbs haunted her dreams. She was satisfied with her work and decides to singed it. In the right , lower corner of the paper, she put her initials: C. W. Cate takes the pen in her mouth, biting nervously the head ... "Well, here goes nothing!", she thinks for herself. Young girl decides to risk it all and writes the question she was asking herself for so long time... "C. W." WHO ARE YOU? ********************************************* Two hours later, Caterina was at her job at the only "good" restaurant they had in town. She was late for work, so she had to fill in for her boss and stay up late. Noone understood why she worked so much, but her. Cate saved money, to see the sun one day. She dreamt of the see, beaches, warm weather and the summer dresses. Everything she wanted was to touch the sand with her barefeet. To feel the sun on her skin and salt on her cheeks. To be able to put on some colorfull dress ... yeah, that was her dream! Soon, she will be eighteen and she will book her first solo trip. Her eyes smiled on that thought; Lizzy was the only one that knew her plans. She supported her dream and gave her half of her tips everytime. " For your trip, girl! Shut up!" , she would wink naughty pushing her money in the pockets. Liz wakes her up from daydreaming as always. "Helloooo! Will you answer me?", her friend repeats looking annoyed. "Oh, of course!", Cate exclaims . She turns around, slowly taking drawing out of the bag. Everyone seemed busy eating and drinking, so she took the chance and gave it to her bestfriend. "Here it is. I really tried hard to remember all the features ... this is the best I could do.", she points out quietly. Lizzy was completely mesmerized by the portrait. So much that even after Cate called her two times, she didn't answer. "Lizzy!!", she shook her by her hands. "Ohh, I'm here. Sorry!!!! Cate, he is really good looking... like , imagine he is REAL???", she asks not even trying to hide her excitment. Caterina blushes immidiately, not knowing how to process that thought. She reaches for her high black ponytail and fixes it while looking herself in the mirror. Her freckles stand out even more, when her hair was dark. "Well, that is something I hope you will find out... bestie.", she smiles back to her friend begging for help. " Lizzy Holmes, at your service.", she says with a sneaky, british accent. They hug each other tightly. '" I have to get back home, see you tommorow at work. Love you.", Liz kisses her hair and runs out. Caterina evens her apron and gets back to work. There were two tables already waiting for their orders. Also, mother is coming back tonight. "That will be fun! ", Cate thought hoping she will be in a good mood. She was wrong, tough.
