"Five years and that's all you have to say to me?" he asked. Standing so close she could taste his breath.

She wanted to move away from him. But she didn't want him to know just how much he affected her. So she stood right there. She wasn't going to let him intimidate her.


"Well... Is there anything else you want me to say?" she asked 

The side of his mouth moved upwards.

He was smiling? Why the hell was he smiling like that? She thought. She didn't remember saying anything funny.

"You left... Kitty" he said. "I asked you to stay... Begged you to stay... And you left anyways.. With him. And now you come back... Acting like everything is okay between us...?"

There was something about him... She thought. Something about the way he called her 'Kitty' that made her heart flip. He was the only one who called her that. She hadn't even realized how much she missed him calling her that. 

"You shouldn't have gone with him". He said. 

"Oh really? Why not? Because you didn't want me to?" she asked. She was starting to get angry. 

"Yeah that's right" he replied. "And because of what you felt for me -what we felt for each other. When I came near you, you felt an excitement so intense that you ceased to breathe --like you are feeling right now. You wanted me just as much as I wanted you. And that should have been enough to make you stay"

ALWAYS BEEN YOU 

"I'm the one who is selfish?" she asked him. "Are you really going to play the victim card right now. After everything I had to do through in the hands of your ex tonight. I have told you what I want. It's up to you now Jensen. I want her gone, with immediate effect" 


She turned and left the room angrily and then bumped into Tim. 


"Oh, I'm so sorry honey,... " she began, and then she stopped and looked at him. "Tim, What are you doing here? Have you been listening to my conversation with your dad?" she asked. 


Tim stared at his feet, then nodded. "I'm sorry, mom" he said. "I know that I'm not supposed to, but I just heard you guys yelling and.... I thought you guys had fixed whatever the problem is? Why are you yelling again? I don't like the way I feel about this" 


Katherine placed a hand on his shoulder, "It's fine, Tim" she said. "Your father and I are just having some issues. No big deal. It happens sometimes. We will get over it. No need for you to be concerned"
