CATHERINE :
I went to Danny's room to ask him about his plans for the day. I don't know how long he will be staying here and thought that he might want to go out. I knocked on the door and entered the room. He stepped out of the bathroom just then.
"Sorry."
I sat on his bed while he got dressed.
"So, what are you going to do today?"
"Well, the tournament is in two weeks. I'm planning on taking you to practice."
"Well, it's been nearly a year. I don't know if I'm still that good."
"We will see. Let's find out."
"Ok. Sure let's go."
After he is ready we went to the garage. Zach is waiting there for us.
"What are you doing here, Zach?"
"Nothing."
I looked at him giving him the ' I'm not believing you, you better tell the truth now' look. He sighed.
"Well, Edward thought that you would go to practice so I'm kind of coming with you for security reasons."
"I'm not a kid. I can take care of myself, Zach. Tell that to Edward."
"You tell that to your husband."
I sighed and got in the car and Danny got into the passenger side leaving Zach outside.
"Not fair. I want to ride shotgun."
Danny just smirked at him .
"You should have called first."
He whined for a while and finally got in the backseat. For being the head of security of the royal family he behaves like a kid sometimes.
"Where is my baby?"
"Already at the racetrack."
"Good. Let's go."
I drove towards the race track following Zach's directions. I parked the car outside and we walked in. I found my baby inside. I walk to her and just run my hands on top of her. Zach looks at me as if I'm mad.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just the way you are behaving around your car is weird."
"It's my baby. Not any car."
I glared at him.
"Sorry. Geez. Don't kill me."
He moves back and Danny laughs.
"Never ever talk about her baby like that. She will kill you. It's not her car but she loves it."
"Let me check if everything is alright. Then you can start your laps."
I moved to a side and allowed Danny to check my baby.
"Everything is perfect."
Zach and Danny pushed the car onto the track and I followed them. I changed into my clothes and got into my baby. She never disappoints me and I always win my races in her.
"Ok. I will tell you the time. Let's see if you can beat your old record."
Danny clapped his hands. I laughed at his childishness, just like Zach and started the car. The engine roared to life and I smiled. I felt the familiar adrenaline rush in me whenever I sit behind the wheel. Danny gave me the go and I accelerated and sped off onto the track. I finished the first lap and stopped near them. Danny ran over to me.
"Not bad. You still got your skill. But you are a still rough on the edges. And you are cutting your corners a bit tight. You need to improve your time."
"Got it."
I went for another lap and this time beat my old record. I practiced for a while and finally stopped after a few hours.
"You did good. Let's do it again tomorrow."
"Sure."
I got out and we headed back home. We reached the parking lot and I got in to drive us back.
"I call shotgun."
Zach shouted and got in beside me. Danny glared at him and got in the back. After reaching the palace I said goodbye to them.
"Well, some one can't stay without seeing their husband."
Danny teased me. I glared at him and left him there. I reached my room and froze in my place. I heard some one talking. I stood still. Who is Edward talking to? Then I heard her voice. It's Jasmine. And Edward is alone in there with her. I trust Edward and I know he will not do anything to hurt me. Then I heard him.
"Leave my room, Jasmine."
"Come on, Edward. We both know that you want me and I want you. Why don't you understand? And leave that girl."
"That girl you are referring to is called Catherine and she is my wife. As for wanting you don't fool yourself. I love Catherine, Jasmine. No one can take her place in my life."
"Stop fooling yourself, Edward. I know that you married her because of your father or else you would have married me."
"No, I love my wife. Get that into your thick skull. And leave before I call the guards and have you kicked out."
I heard footsteps coming towards the door and stood aside. Jasmine opened the door and glared at me. I entered the room and closed the door on her face. I saw Edward on the bed holding his head. I sat on the bed beside him and started running my fingers through his hair.
"You alright?"
"Yes. You heard everything?"
"Yes."
"God, she gives me headache. Why can't she understand that I don't want her or even like her?"
I kissed him on the forehead and he smiled at me and pulled me into his lap.
"This is much better. How is your day?"
I blushed and tried to get up. But he held me tight so I gave up and relaxed in his arms.
"Really nice. I went to practice with Zach and Danny to the race track."
"Zach?"
"Yes. Don't look at me like you don't know and no need to act innocent. He said that you told him to follow me everywhere."
"No, I didn't."
"You didn't? Don't lie to me."
"Fine. I told him to follow you. We are getting death threats and I just want you to be safe."
"I can take care of myself, Edward. I'm taking care of myself since my mom's death."
"I know. I also know that you can fight. But I just worry about you."
"I know. Ok, I will accept only Zach as my guard. No one else."
"Fine. Deal. Only Zach. So, when can I watch you racing?"
"You can come with us tomorrow."
"Will check my schedule and cancel some things then I'm all yours."
"There is no need to cancel or change your schedule for me. You can watch me another time."
"No. Nothing is more important than you. I will come with you tomorrow."
"I love you, Edward. You are the best husband."
"I love you too, kitten. And you are the best wife."
Saying this he kissed me and I kissed him back. Thankfully no one disturbed us.
