Chapter 165 - 165. Stepmother.

"What do you want to watch?" Devon asked her.

"Um... that looks fun, I like science fiction what do you like?" She asked.

"What do you think? I'm a nerd, so scifi works for me as well" he nodded.

After they both bought the tickets it didn't occur to either of them to check the theater room so they just walked into the first one they saw. Probably because they were so preoccupied with acting their best or acting like inexperienced teenagers on a first date. 

After they sat down with popcorn and soda, the movie started playing, it was horror. While some guys brought their girlfriends in there to watch the movies so they could use the opportunity to get closer to them, and others were just suckers for blood, gore and death. Both Katherine and Devon where beyond mortified. 

At first when the first person died, she reached out grab him but his face was already buried in her shoulder. When the big man with the saw broke through the actual fucking wall to get to his next victim the popcorn was tossed in the air, and on the surrounding people. Icing on the cake, when his face blew up on the massive screen, the both of them, qualified and professional doctors tossed their soda and on the ground causing a big mess. 

By the time they decided they couldn't take anymore and were about to leave, one of the cinema staff was already in to send them out. 

"Your movie is in theater three not one!" He yelled as he shoved them out. 

They looked at each other and as Devon was about to apologise again Katherine started laughing. She laughed so hard it was contagious and he joined her. 

"Let's go eat!" She said pulling him away from the cinema.

"This turn?" Jessie asked as she got ready to swerve the car.

"Yeah, just right up this lane. It's a big house you can't miss it." 

"You sure you're ready? I could still give you one more day with lover boy, so you go see more movies." She said, the statement seemed kind but her tone was not.

"Are you still bitching about the cinemas? I promised to take you another time." Katherine huffed. 

"Pfft." 

"Gosh I'm so jealous!" Jessie gasped as Katherine walked into her hotel room with a soda soaked dress. "Why are you wet?" 

"Wow, incredible. You just made me even more jealous, I didn't think I could be but here I am." She huffed.

"How could you be jealous of that? The date was a mess." Katherine laughed.

"Yet you come smiling like that. Ugh... I've never been on a date in a cinema, I've never watched a movie either." She pouted.

"You never dated any celebrities?" Katherine asked. 

"Not really, even if I went one dates it was always to fancy secluded restaurants away from press and fans." She frowned. "Besides dating celebrities isn't as glamorous as it seems. I'd rather date a normal person but then again I never met any that asked me out." 

"You poor thing." Katherine said in mock pity.

"Hey! This is a real dilemma. The one and only time I went to a cinema, I don't know how these people do it. I wore a mask through out but they somehow found out, ugh..." she shuddered. "I almost died that day." 

"So if you're so restricted why do you want to go back?" Katherine asked sitting opposite her on a bean bag after she shed off her gown.

Jessie paused to think, "well I love acting. Just acting, getting to be many different characters. Telling so many stories, there's just a way I feel when I'm behind a camera, I've never felt that way any where else. I feel like I was born to do this. That's why I can bare anything else, besides the love I get is quite encouraging."

Katherine smiled a knowing smile. "I totally understand, medicine is that way for me to. The operating room, is like my set."

"You see, what makes you happy isn't entirely Paul. You are good at your job and you love it. Don't let some guy disrupt your fast track career. Don't quit Katherine." 

"Fine, but promise me something." Katherine said.

"What?" 

"You wouldn't ignore the happiness you can get here, with us, with Jason because you want to be back in front of a camera."

"I don't understand." Jessie shook her head.

"Have you ever considered the possibility of finding the same happiness, even more here?" 

Jessie sighed and looked away, "promise me you will at least try." Katherine insisted. "Then I won't quit." 

Jessie looked at her and tried to refuse. "Shhh, another promise." Katherine held out her pinky.

"You and I would go see a movie after all this is over." She shook her hand and Jessie finally took it.

"Promise."

"Seal."

"Stamp." They said together.

"There, that's the house." Katherine pointed at the estate in front of them.

"Country home?" 

"Nope, that is the main house, there other vacation houses but this is the main one." She said.

"You're sure your father is home?" Jessie asked.

"He's not my father." Katherine spat.

Jessie stared at her from the corner of her eyes, she wanted to say something else but decided not to push it.

"And Carol?" 

"I'm sure we can deal with her." Katherine gave her a tight smile. Jessie sighed and drove tonthe gate.

The security guard walked up to the car to ask.

"Katherine Park, Mr. Park is expecting me." She informed him.

"And the lady?" He pointed to Jessie who was already in her mask.

"She's with me." 

He nodded and opened the gate, allowing them drive in. 

The house wasn't all that extravagant but it seemed homely and comfortable. While Jessie wanted to take in the fresh breeze of country and the large amount of vegetation, Katherine pace made that impossible. One glance you would know this house didn't give her happy memories. 

"Miss Katherine!" The maid at the door gasped.

"Who is there?" A voice called from inside and a middle aged woman walked out from a corner her eyes widening initially before forming slits. 

"What the hell are you doing here?" She spat.

"What the does it look like? I'm here to find out who the hell my real father is, now get out off my way!" Katherine yelled.

"Who the hell are you talking to like that?" 

"Who else? It's you Carol."

"Carol?"

"What? Do you want me to still call you step mother? You aren't my stepmother anymore Carol. So I don't have to pretend to respect you, move."
