KAT'S POV

I was in Enzo's bed. Why was I in Enzo's bed? He wasn't in his room. I looked out of the window to see whether it was light or dark, and saw Enzo guiding his girlfriend to her car, probably just after having a quickie. Well, that's fine and dandy to me.

When I got into my own bed, I reached over and found my phone on my bedside table. I barely ever use my phone nowadays, and I see no reason to bring it with me anywhere, unless Enzo asked me to take it with me, 'just in case', as he would say.

There were fourteen missed called and thirty texts from David asking if I was okay, if he could be let in, that Enzo was a twat and wasn't letting him in, I couldn't be bothered to read them all, my head hurt and I was hungry. My phone rang again, David, again. I picked up.

"Hello?" said his voice over the phone.

"Hi David, look I'm fine, I'm tired and I am hungr-" he interrupted me.

"I am so sorry Katarina; I am so so sorry. I should've asked, I should've let you order, I should've done better, I am so sorry I ruined our date." So it was a date to him huh.

"I should've told you, I was careless. But I had fun today, you're a great friend." I could hear him wounded over the phone as I put him and locked him tightly in the friendzone.

"What about our kiss?"

"I like you a lot David, but I think we are better as friends. I'm sorry, don't be mad." Then he went off. Talking about Enzo this, Enzo that, swearing at me. I have never heard him use language like that before.

"Come to the gates, I wanna see you one last time," he said, and I agreed. I slipped on a jacket and some flip flops and headed over to the gate. When I arrived, the guards said to me they had direct orders to not allow him in, but I told them I was leaving, and as they hadn't had direct orders to not let me leave, they opened the gates. I walked over to David's car, beginning to shiver in the cold. I knew one of the guards would've called Enzo by now telling him I had gone out to see David, and he was probably already storming over here, so I didn't have long to speak to him. I apologised again, and he got angry, again. He came right up in my face, shouting at me, angry that I put him in the friendzone, angry that I had rejected him, angry that I had said there was nothing going on between Enzo and I, and I told him again there was nothing between us, he had a damn girlfriend. All I saw was black as I felt his fist connect with my head and I crashed to the floor.

ENZO'S POV

I was storming over to the gate, for fuck sake, I should've commanded them to not let her leave, but I didn't realise she would bloody be awake anytime soon. The gates opened as soon as I neared them, just in time for me to see David sucker punch Katarina right in the temple. I pulled out my gun and, without thinking twice, shot him in the head.

I ran over to Katarina, checking for a pulse, to see if she was okay. Her heartbeat was strong, so I picked her up and carried her back to the house.

"Dispose of the body and car," I commanded to my soldiers, who nodded.

I waited next to her for forty-six minutes – I knew because I was counting down every single one – before her eyes fluttered open, to reveal those golden amber eyes that I loved. She looked straight at me, before clutching her head. I handed her two paracetamol and a glass of water, and she smiled, her sweet, beautiful, kind smile.

"David?" she asked. Not him again. For fuck sake, how was I supposed to tell her I killed him.

"I dealt with him, he won't be bothering you again," I stated, expecting her to jump up in anger and start yelling at me, but she just breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and thanked me. I wonder if she knew that me dealing with him was me killing him. Oh well, she didn't ask for the details, she didn't need to know the details.

"No hickeys?" she asked. I clearly looked puzzled at that question because she went to elaborate, "just every time you see your girlfriend you end up with hickeys is all." She must've seen me escort her to the car.

"I ended things with her today," I shrugged. She looked at me, shocked and confused. I swear I saw a flicker of relief in her eyes, but I couldn't be too sure.

"Are you okay?" she asked. I laughed, I couldn't stop, why was she asking me if I was okay? "Oi! Don't laugh at me!"

"How are you asking me if I am okay?" I continued laughing, "you just got back from hospital, and got sucker punched by your date, who is also the one who cause you to go to hospital, and you ask if I'm okay after ending things with a fling I had no feelings for," I was still laughing.

"No feelings?"

"She wasn't even my girlfriend; we just had a fling for a couple weeks. She used to be my girlfriend, but we ended things the day you arrived here from London," I explained. "So, is the Dr a good kisser?" She blushed.

"There was no spark. I friendzoned him on the phone upstairs and he got angry, asking me to come to the gates to speak to him. He kept swearing at me, angry that I told him there was nothing going on between you and I, insisting there was." My heart fell for a second, but it was the truth, there was nothing going on between us.

"Rest up, you've had a hard couple of weeks." She nodded, and fell asleep, actually in my bed.

Antonio appeared at the door, "brother, ask her out already! She doesn't like David, you broke up with your girlfriend... who wasn't really your girlfriend, just easier to say... you are both availableeeee," he sang the last word.

"Shut up idiot," chuckled Pascal, coming in behind Antonio, "but he is right, ask her out already."

"I agree with them," chimed in Stefan.

"To be honest Enzo, I don't see why it's taking you so long," chuckled Dante.

"You all annoy me," I growled, hoping she was asleep.

KAT'S POV

I heard them all telling Enzo to ask me out. Why were they saying that? Did Enzo like me? I was so confused. I decided that tomorrow I would find Antonio, who would know exactly what Enzo was thinking, and get him to tell me, but that was for tomorrow. If he did like me, I didn't know how to feel; I never opened myself up to the thought he could like me, but now I was thinking about it... I really did want him to ask me out.

That night I had a sex dream about Enzo, a really graphic sex dream. I woke up to myself moaning, screaming his name. He was sat in the chair next to me sleeping, but bolted upright, standing up scanning the room.

"Katarina, what happened?" I couldn't exactly tell him I just had a damn sex dream, could I? Fuck.

"Nightmare." He came over and sat next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. My heart fluttered.

"What was it about?" Fuck. I had no idea.

"My teeth all fell out," was all I could come up with. That's so crap, but he started laughing.

"Don't worry, I won't let that happen."

"Thanks," I said, dropping my head to rest on his shoulder. I felt him tense up. Fuck. I thought I ruined it, but then his muscles relaxed again, and he dropped his head to rest on my head.

"Katarina?" he asked.

"Yes?"

"I was wondering... um... if you might want to, I don't know... get dinner, tonight?"

Oh. My. God. He just asked me out! I felt like jumping up and punching the air, but I maintained my composure.

"Like, a date?"

"Only if you want," he tensed up again, obviously pretty nervous.

"Yeah, that'd be nice," I looked up to see him beaming. In fact, he was beaming the entire rest of the day!
