Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 284 - Exclusive Club

"Did you have to do that?" she asked, her voice low and threatening.

"Well, I highly doubt they will come back to take more pictures," Henrick sighed. "It's a blessing that the phone was unlocked and I could delete the pictures. Otherwise, I would have to throw it from the balcony."

The argument ended with that and everyone was at peace.

They ate and talked quietly for a while. Katherine saw someone coming towards their way and thought that they had been spotted again and someone was trying to peak at Cage. It seemed to be a small group of people so she kept her head down as they turned to their parties direction.

"Katherine, is that you?" she heard someone say. Katherine cursed internally. She knew that voice. She looked up and there she was… Sabrina, dressed up in nicer clothing and looking at her with utter shock. Beside her stood Laurence and Ian.

How this had come to be, she didn't know, but she didn't have time to think about that at the moment. "Hi Sabrina… Laurence… Ian."

Cage tensed next to her.

Sabrina tried to play it cool as she pointed towards Cage. "Do you know them?" Her voice was a few pitches higher than usual.

Katherine refused to look at Cage because she couldn't act that well.

"I met them at the reception and they invited me over to have dinner," she replied. Cage's hand made contact with her thigh and he squeezed lightly. It was painful for him not to speak up as well.

"Oh, that's cool. Eating with a celebrity." Sabrina gave her a sidelong glare. "You should have called me. We mentioned meeting up after today's event, remember?" she implied forcefully.

"Something came up," Katherine said lightly. She hadn't promised anything of the sort, Sabrina had just assumed. She really wanted to remain friends with Sabrina but if she found out about Katherine's relationship with Cage, this woman would turn in an instant. Of that, Katherine was suddenly sure of.

"Kitty, do you want to join us instead?" Laurence asked, pointing towards the other table on the balcony. Katherine's eyes flitted towards the direction but she looked back at Cage, a little panicked.

"Let her be. It's impolite to ask her," Ian interjected, tugging at Laurence's hand. Sabrina was on the other's side, though.

"Oh, come on. Katherine…" she prompted.

"I'll stay here," she muttered.

"Yes! Henrick and I really like Katherine, so we invited her over. She can meet you any time. Hope you don't mind her being with us for the evening," Anna prompted from the side, trying to gain control of the situation.

Sabrina reluctantly looked towards Anna before her eyes moved back to Katherine. She was trying really hard not to look at Cage.

"Not at all!" Ian jumped in before anyone else could. "Enjoy your meal, Katherine!" he gave her a thumbs up.

"See you tonight?" Laurence said hopefully. Sabrina nodded, giving Katherine a firm look.

"Uh… Don't tell anyone about this, please," Katherine asked, bowing her head.

"Heh, who would we tell," Ian chuckled.

"Yeah, you didn't even tell everyone about Katherine's boyfriend," Cage scoffed. Even though his voice was low, everyone seemed to have heard him. Anna coughed, Henrick looked away and Katherine sat paralyzed.

"With whom I'll spend the next couple of days with. I won't be available apart from the event," Katherine said loudly.

"He's here?" Sabrina asked, loudly. "That was why you weren't squealing when I told you Cage Cavanaugh was in the audience." Katherine's eyes snapped to this so called friend. She should really look at who she calls that. "It's because your boyfriend is here with you!"

Cage kept silent, his lips pursed as his hand grew tighter on Katherine's thigh. It didn't hurt, though. He just seemed to be reigning in his anger.

Now that the world knew he had a girlfriend, he was getting impatient to let people know who it was… not the world, but people they knew.

"Cage already knows I love him," Katherine snickered. "I told him when we met earlier." She glanced at Laurence.

"Ah, show him the picture you have of him on your phone." Of this, Cage knew nothing of. He looked at Katherine with surprise and then towards her cell phone which was on the table. "She spoke about an exclusive fan club. How do I get invited?" Sabrina asked, blinking at Cage.

Cage had moved towards the cell phone and pressed on the power button. Lo and behold, a picture of him sleeping. A smile crept onto his lips as he picked the phone up.

Katherine, now panicking, stopped him from taking a better look. Her fingers curled around his wrist, making the others gape. Cage's parents, though, watched with rapt fascination as the scene unfolded in front of their eyes.

"Your boyfriend doesn't get upset when he sees this?" he asked, sounding intrigued. Katherine stared at him as she tried to understand what he was implying. He was leaving it to her to reveal their relationship in front of these people.

Laurence looked stunned and she couldn't help but chuckle as she moved forward. "He knows. He goes crazy when I do such things… But if you want, you could give me your number. You know… the list and all," she suggested flirtatiously.

"I'll do that," he said, understanding her meaning. "Gimme a call," he said, with a wink.

"Uh…" Sabrina blanked out. Laurence remained silent.

In his mind, he was wondering if Katherine was the type of person who remained faithful. Had he judged her wrong? Or was there something else. A clue seemed to be lingering in his head but he couldn't quite point towards it.

"Well, this exclusive club has its perks," Katherine announced. She looked at Sabrina and winked, too. She dialled his number, his name prominent on her screen. Indeed, a picture of him sleeping, tangled in sheets and looking adorable accompanied his name. At the same time, a ringtone rang.

Cage pulled out his phone and mumbled. "Good thing you're the only member of this club," he chortled. As he pressed the red button, everyone in close proximity could see what was written.

'Mine.'
