Part Three - The Silent Treatment

***Hey guys, I just want to apologise for not updating for ages when I said I was going to update this the other day. I've been having a hard time accepting something going on with my health, enjoy the update.***

*Katherine's POV*

I just stand there and watch Prince stare in a space, I didn't think he would be this upset. I'm having a hard time finding the words to comfort him, I'm also having a hard time to care. I was at work, it's not my fault. I don't see why I should be going out of my way to come see him, my job is my priority...not him.

I continue to look at him, he hasn't made any eye contact with me.

Moments later he gets up and slowly starts making his way to the door.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"Inside. I'm performing soon, why? Do you want to stare at me some more?" He asks with a little attitude.

Wow, the nerve.

"Look, I'm sorry you waited for an hour and a half for me. But there's this thing I have...oh yeah, a job! I can't just drop it and come running to you when you want me to, I may be late but at least I came here. I could have just not bothered, especially if this is how I'm going to be treated. I can't believe I actually felt bad for being late." I seethe before going inside.

I turn to look back at him and he looks a little down, good.

"Katherine!" I hear my name being called.

I look over and see Billie standing at a bar, I walk over to her.

"Hey, Bill." I say.

"What's going on?" She asks, looking at me.

I furrow my brows.

"What are you talking about?" I ask.

"You're like two hours late? Prince has been waiting for you the whole time." She says.

I roll my eyes, so sick of this.

"I was working. I got the clients I was working hard to get. I can't just drop things for him." I say.

Billie sighs and takes a sip from her drink.

"Plus why do you care? You're the one who has a massive crush on him, I thought you would want to spend time with him." I say.

"Yeah but he's clearly got an interest in you. Plus I'm getting close with his friend, Tony." She smiles.

I smirk.

"Is that so?" I ask.

The lights dim and music starts to play. Prince &a The New Power Generation start performing. Feels weird being in the same room while they're performing, I watch him. He seems annoyed and upset, but I don't care.

He starts to loosen up and actually smile, Jesus Christ the man smiles every once in awhile.

His set finishes and the house lights come back on, Prince has disappeared. I shrug my shoulders.

"Katherine." Tony calls out while walking up to me.

"Oh, hey Tony." I smile.

"How are you?" He asks, hugging me.

"I'm great. How are you?" I ask, hugging back.

"I'm fantastic. Listen, Prince wants to talk to you." He says.

"What for?" I sigh.

"He didn't say. He's over there." He says pointing in Prince's direction.

I roll my eyes and begin walking over to him, he's standing there talking and laughing with guests.

He looks up at me, he walks over to me and takes my hand.

"Come with me." He says bluntly.

He leads me to a room, closing the door behind us. He takes off his jack and tie, going over to sit at the piano and begins playing a soft tune.

"What do you want to talk about?" I ask.

"I wanted to apologise for before." He says softly.

I watch him play the piano, he seems hurt by what I said before. I'm glad I got to him, he needs to realise the world doesn't revolve around him.

"Thank you." I say.

He keeps playing some more, then looks up at me.

"You not going to say anything?" He asks.

"What do you want me to say?" I ask.

"An apology would be nice." He says.

"For what? For being truthful with how I was feeling earlier? The whole world and everyone's lives don't revolve around you, Prince." I scoff.

The look he's giving me is of pure annoyance, I'm about to flip him one back along with the finger.

"Is that what you really think of me?" He asks.

"A little yeah." I say.

He chuckles and begins playing the piano again.

"You're really something else aren't you?" He asks.

"Me? Have you looked in the mirror?" I ask.

"Yes, daily. How do you think I came up with the song 'Cream'?" He smirks.

I roll my eyes, I take a seat on chair and cross my arms. My god, he's so full of it.

"What's the matter? Gone mute?" He asks.

I don't say anything, I'm not going to give him the satisfaction of arguing back.

"Katherine...do you know why I take such an interest in you?" He asks.

I look up at him, he gets up and puts on his jacket and looks at me.

"You've got attitude, you don't care what other people think of you. You are committed to your work and have that as your priority over anything and anyone. And you're the first woman I've met that hasn't thrown herself at me, also...you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen." He admits.

I take in everything he said, I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"We're a lot alike more than you think, that's why I like you. That's why I keep chasing you, you're a rare person to come by these days." He says.

He walks over to me and holds his hands out to me, I take them and he helps me up. He places his hands on my waist and looks at me.

"And I'll keep chasing you until you finally give in." He whispers before placing a soft kiss on my cheek.

He walks over to the door and turns to look at me one more time.

He opens the door and leaves.

I sit back down and stare in a space. I feel a funny feeling in my chest and stomach. A little light headed, I close my eyes and take some deep breaths. Did I eat something bad today? What is this funny feeling I'm having?
