Chapter 250 - Slowly Moving In

"She sent things for all of us," Katherine whispered. Angelina and Lily, quickly came forward and looked at the items with increased interest.

"Those bottles of wines are going into our collection. No pulling them out until a chance to celebrate occurs," Lily set the rules from the very beginning. Katherine and Angelina nodded. Lily quickly pulled the bottles out and scurried off to keep the bottles in a safe location. Angelina took out the tickets and sighed.

"Wah, she even took care of us. How nice does a person need to be?" she asked, in awe. "You scored, girl," she said with a wink. "Keep these safe!" She pumped her fist victoriously.

"Oh! You got packages..." Ian said, sounding confused by their enthusiasm.

Katherine put the card back in and closed the box before going to the next one. It was the smaller one, so she was careful to cut it open. It was not as beautifully packaged. The neat pieces of paper gave away what was inside. Clothes. She opened the first flap and grew silent.

Shirts. Lots and lots of shirts. Cage's shirts. She lifted a black t-shirt out and held it to her face. She knew it was washed and ironed but it smelled like Cage. Freshly showered and changed Cage smelled like this. She pressed it close to her heart and grinned. She wanted to run to her bedroom but the others in the room were looking at her with varied degrees of weirdness.

"Shirts," she informed. She could barely contain her excitement as she started to type out her response.

"You must really like men's shirts," Laurence muttered. He looked thoroughly confused and neither of the girls went forward to tell him the reason why she looked like she was on cloud nine. He was almost a stranger, so he didn't mind it. Later, as Katherine typed on her cellphone, Angelina explained.

"Katherine loves wearing men's shirts," she told them. It was the truth. She just loved wearing her boyfriend's shirt more.

[K: You send me shirts?!]

She pawed at them, marveling the soft material. From the brands, she knew they were expensive and she knew how amazing he looked in them. But he had sent them to her. They were now her property. She would let him wear them later when he came over. More Cage-time for her.

She would be damned if she gave those back.

[C: I didn't want you to forget what I smelled like, so I asked my mother to send these to you.]

It felt like he was there with her. She clutched it closer to her with one hand as she typed.

[K: You didn't need to. I would have been happy if you sent me a lone t-shirt. But now you are never getting them back, you know that, right?] She pouted as she looked at the screen. He should be headed to the shooting location so he had some time.

[C: Ah, you missed the point. I like you in nothing but my shirts. Moreover, consider this as me slowly moving in.]

Katherine stared, not knowing what to say next. Moving in? Why did that sound so good to her. She wanted to squeal.

[K: I'll let it slide then. Just finished filming and had breakfast. I'll be free in a couple of hours. Text me or call me when you have time!]

She ended the conversation abruptly and stuffed the shirt back. Angelina, who was looking at the shirts with great interest felt a piercing look and looked up. Katherine was warning her with her eyes.

"If you dare steal them from me, I will murder you in my sleep," she warned. Angelina burst out into laughter.

"I don't want your shirts. I have my own box coming soon." She stuck her tongue out and bounced away like a rabbit. Katherine shook her head in amus.e.m.e.nt and turned to look at Laurence and Ian.

"Sorry for keeping you out of the loop. We're a weird bunch and a lot of packages came in. We get excited by our goodies." Laurence gave a sly look.

"At least we didn't see anything we weren't supposed to." Katherine startled when she heard the joke. She grinned and shook her head. She could handle an innuendo or two here and there.

"On that note, we need to get going," Ian informed as he looked at his phone. "You have a meeting in a couple of hours. We need to rest and then head to that," he informed his friend reluctantly.

"I've stayed over for a long time," Laurence commented apologetically. "I'll send the footage to you for your video. Can you send yours to me, as well?" Katherine nodded.

"Wait! Before we go, why don't I take a picture of you guys?" Ian asked. Laurence gave him a sharp look, but Katherine nodded.

"Sure," she said easily.

"Great!" Ian had already poised her phone and was ready to take a picture. "I'm a big fan of capturing important moments. Why don't the two of you stand closer together?" he asked, hinting at them to pose.

Katherine bit her lip as she scooted closer. Laurence smiled and raised his fingers in a V shape while Katherine simply laughed at the gesture. Ian snapped the photo and looked extremely satisfied.

"You guys look cute!" he chuckled. "Maybe we should take another-"

Laurence cut him off. "We need to go," he interrupted. Ian shrugged and pocketed his phone before saying his final goodbyes.

"Have a great day," they greeted, before the two were gone. Katherine closed the door behind them and padded off to her room. By the time she shut it after her, a message from Laurence came in.

[Laurence: I had a great time! Let me know when we can meet again.]

Katherine looked at the message and thought nothing of it. She quickly typed out a response and sent it without further thought.

[K: I'll let you know soon. I had a blast, as well. Have a great day.]
