Dan and
Abby’s Apartment
Abby
unlocked the front door of her apartment as she flipped through her day
planner. As she closed the door she looked up and saw Dan laying
on the couch with a pile of keystone cans surrounding him.
“Dan, what the hell?” Abby asked as she put her bag and planner down.
Dan looked
up, and his body swayed, “Love hurts.”
“Yes, but
getting drunk is not the answer.” She began picking up the empty cans and then
stopped. “You know what, I’ll leave this for you to
do. You can’t just mope around forever Dan. Life is all around you.”
“Ciel said
she would marry me Abs! Then she left with that
Abby
nodded, “Still hon that’s no reason to just waste
away in the living room. Seriously, she obviously wasn’t worth it. Is this
really how you want to live, in the darkness, in the bleak lonely world?”
Dan stood
up and pointed at his sister, “Yes.” He slurred, “NO more love for me. I’m
through.” He then went into the bathroom and Abby could hear him throwing up.
Abby rolled
her eyes, “That bitch better stay away from my brother or I’ll hurt her.” She
said to herself before going into the kitchen.
Hallow
Hills—Pool House
He leaned
forward again and clicked the next button and saw a new application for a
21-year-old Nanny. He filled out the interview request form and clicked send,
hoping he had just found the woman who would help raise his child.
Siobhan’s
Apartment
Siobhan
clutched the bowl of popcorn as she watched Love and Honor; she was so
entranced with the show. She was just glad Kyle wasn’t here to ruin it this
time as Siobhan was routing for Trista to win this hansom man named Brock
Jensen. Of all people her baby brother’s boss.
Just as a
commercial came on someone began knocking on her door. “For the love of God,
Kyle just get over it already, you pushed Trista to
this!” she yelled as she got up to answer the door.
“Um, its not Kyle.” Becker said when the door opened and his
brown eyes caught Siobhan’s.
“I thought
it would be him complaining about that new reality TV show. What are you doing
here?” She asked chewing on her lower lip.
“Well, I’m
here to tell you one thing and one thing only Siobhan.” He walked into the
apartment and closed the door.
“What’s
that Shamus.” She asked, with a twinkle in her eye.
Becker
cupped her face in his hands and smiled, “You probably know this in your heart
already Siobhan, but I have to tell you. I have to tell you now before I lose
the courage and never say it.”
“Say what
Becker?” she asked, as her stomach filled with butterflies and she felt that
the psychic from when she was a little girl was finally right.
His smile
grew larger as he looked in her eyes intently, “I love you
Siobhan
broke their gaze for a moment and looked down at her hands, smiling “I have
only one thing to say to you Shamus Becker.”
“What?” he
asked, panic sweeping his voice.
“I love you
to.” She said before reaching up and kissing him slowly, teasingly.
When
it’s love you give
I’ll be a man of good faith
then in love you live.
I’ll make a stand. I won’t break
I’ll be the rock you can build on,
be there when you’re old,
to have and to hold.
Becker
pulled her closer, his hands roaming up her back and into her dark chestnut
hair.
When
there’s love inside
I swear I’ll always be strong
then there’s a reason why.
I’ll prove to you we belong
I’ll be the wall that protects you
from the wind and the rain,
from the hurt and pain.
Siobhan ran
her hands down his chest and began to unbutton his shirt as they began to move
towards the couch.
Let’s
make it all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need,
Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.
Becker
removed her shirt and then tossed his aside, before kissing her again, and then
began to kiss and slightly bite her neck.
When it’s love you make
I’ll be the fire in your night.
When it’s love you take.
I will defend, I will fight
I’ll be there when you need me.
When honor’s at stake,
This vow I will make
Siobhan
arched her body and neck to give him better access as her feet knocked over the
bowl of popcorn from earlier.
That
it’s all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want,
The one you need.
Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love.
Becker’s
mouth moves down to her chest and then to her stomach, where his hands rest on
her hips.
Don’t
lay out love to rest
Cause we can stand up to the test.
We got everything, that and more
Then we had planned,
More than the rivers that run the land.
We’ve got it all, in our hands.
Siobhan gasped
and raked her hands in his dark hair as he began to unbutton her jeans.
Now it’s
all for one and all for love.
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need,
Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all.
When there’s someone that should know
then just let your feelings show.
When there’s someone that you want,
when there’s someone that you need
Let’s make it all, all for one and all for love.
Becker
pushed down Siobhan’s jeans just before she pulled his mouth back to hers in
another kiss.
Love and
Honor Set
Wink smiled
into the camera when they came back from commercial, “Welcome back to Love and
Honor, now it’s time for Brock to ask Joan a few questions.”
Joan looked
into the camera nervously as Brock cleared his throat, and then released a huge
smile onto the world. “Joan, if I were caught watching a soap opera, what would
you do?”
Joan’s eyes
narrowed as she turned to look at her ex-fiancé, “I would ask you who Ryan Lavery is with now, Greenlee or Kendall.”
Brock
looked down at the cards again, “What is the worst way to break up with
someone?”
Joan shot
him a warning glance before speaking; “I would have to say leaving them on a
hot rainy night in the middle of summer with absolutely no warning that it was
going to happen.”
“If you
could have dinner with anyone living or dead who would it be?” Brock looked up
from the cards and smiled, knowing he knew exactly what she would say.
“Well,” she
began as she nervously played with her fingers, “I would have to say Coco Chanle, the designer.”
“Thank you
Joan.” Came Wink’s booming voice from the podium. “If Trista could now join us for her questions.”
Trista
walked onto the stage, and sat in the seat that Joan had quickly vacated.
“This is
painless, I swear.” Brock said with a smile just as his eyes caught hers for a
moment, “Alright then, if you were to walk in and I was watching a soap opera
what would you say?”
“Well, I
guess it would depend on what you were watching. I mean it all depends, some
are just cheesy and others pretty decent. As long as it was something good like
All My Children, I’d probably say nothing and let you enjoy it.”
Brock
nodded, loving the answer. “What’s the worst way to break up with someone?”
“I think
the worst is when you really don’t say goodbye, if you can’t say goodbye what
was really there?” she replied before glancing at the camera, as if looking at
Kyle.
“Okay,
final question, if you could have dinner with anyone living or dead who would
it be?”
“I would say, my high school boyfriend Bradley, who was killed by a
drunk driver in college.”
Kyle’s
Apartment
Kyle took a
swig from the vodka bottle and glared at the television, “Yes Trista, fall all
over Brock Jensen!” he yelled at the screen before glaring at his telephone, no
messages. Damn did he feel alone? He picked up the remote and turned it off
just as Brock was asking the last question.
He put the
bottle down and stumbled to the phone and picked it up, “1, 4, 2, 1, 5, 5, 5,
9, 5, 4, 3” he said as he dialed the lost number,
“come on ape, pickup.” He said in a drunken whisper.
“Hi its
April, I’m not here so please leave a message.” Came
the familiar voice of another ex-girlfriend.
“April—its
Kyle, I’m so, so, I’m so sorry. Ya know, I just make
mistakes right? They go on, and on, I did it with you. Now,” he was silent for
a long moment, “I did it with Trista, now she’s on some stupid reality TV show
looking for love. If I could take it back, and not have ruined things with you
I would. You taught me to love and I took it for granted.” Kyle then hung up
the phone and went into the bedroom and passed out.
Hallow
Hills—Main House
Adel came
down the stairs in her ballroom and greeted the hundred or so guests she had in
her ballroom. All were from the upper crust of Colorado Society. She smiled, thinking
of how much money she had raised for the hospital with the cover charge. A
truly brilliant idea indeed, then having a closed bar even better since it
appeared most everyone was well on their way to being drunk. She spotted Doug
over by the mantle speaking with
“Doug.” She
said kissing his cheek before looking at her son, “Where’s
“Bathroom
again, she could go into labor at anytime.”
Adel took a
deep breath, “And we’ll be grandparents Doug. How do you feel about that?”
“Swell.”
Doug said slurring slightly.
Adel looked
at her husband and was about to tell him not more when someone tapped her
shoulder. She turned around and saw her sister standing there with her arms
crossed over her chest, “No Adel, I’ll be a grandparent. I’m
“When is
the time huh? When your dead?” Carla asked.
Adel
smiled, “Sounds good to me.”
“Fine that
can be arranged.” Carla said as she began to choke Adel.
Adel
wrapped her hands around Carla’s neck in return and began to choke her back and
the two bobbed along the back patio in the moonlight causing a stir from the
party inside. Carla removed her hands from Adel’s neck and began to pull on her
hair as Adel began to pinch Carla’s upper arms as the moved closer to the pool.
Before either woman knew it they had fallen in and were still trying to kill
each other.
“Shit!”
Once they
pulled the women out
Carla took
a long deep breath before speaking, “Fine if that’s how you want it
“What?” he
asked a bit annoyed and then felt like an ass when he saw it was
“Sorry, honey are you okay?”
She shook
her head, “I’m in labor
Scarlet
Daisy Bar—
Kevin lifted
his shot glass up in the air and looked up towards the heavens, “To Eddie.” He
said memorably.
Jade
nodded, “To Eddie.” She said before they each took a shot of whiskey down. Jade
slammed the glass back onto the bar and shook her head, causing her long black
hair to shake.
Kevin
laughed, “That is such a sight.”
“You know I
can drink, just not whiskey.” She said as the bartender placed the rum and diet
coke down next to her, “Thanks.” Kevin looked at her funny, “No carbs. I’m trying to do that Atkins thing, don’t think I’ll
last.”
“You have
no reason to lose weight you’re a beautiful woman.” Kevin told her as he took a
sip of his Budweiser.
“Yet you’re
married to Maggie.” Jade said sorrowfully.
“I met
Maggie when I was away from you, who knows if I had
stayed here what would’ve happened. But after Eddie died, just outside this
bar, I had to leave. You understand right?” he asked, as he realized this was
really the first time they had ever discussed this before.
Jade
nodded, “I know, I just wish you had told me you got married, and she was
pregnant.” She took a slow sip from her drink and looked down at the bar.
“Maggie got
pregnant after we got married, she was a virgin when
we married.” Kevin told her, and a flash of guilt struck through her body.
“Really?
Kevin, I am sorry she lost the baby, I should’ve noticed how weak she was when
we spoke that day.”
“There was
nothing you could do, her doctors said it would happen
no matter what. It turns out her mother had several miscarriages before having
Maggie and her sister Cassie.”
Jade sat
there silently for a moment as she quickly sucked down her drink and then
ordered another one, as did Kevin. Tonight she was going to get drunk and so
was he, she had a plan now, that would hopefully finally end him and Maggie and
she could get the man she had before he left
Kevin’s
Apartment
Kevin had
trouble putting the key in the lock as he dropped to his knees trying to open
the door. Jade was giggling as he finally got it and the two went inside. “Alright
Lane, you need to go to bed.”
“Where are
you going to sleep?” he asked her as they traveled up the stairs slowly,
clinging to each other.
“Couch.”
She informed him, though she knew deep inside her it was a lie.
“Good, cause I love my wife, I fought for her Ya
know. I punched that Conner McKay. It was good.” He said as he opened he
bedroom door and crawled onto the bed. He took Jade’s hand and pulled her down
next to him. “You’re a good girl Jade, a really good girl.”
Jade
blushed, “Thanks Kev.” She said before she felt his
lips on hers as he pulled her closer and began to remove her clothes. Jade
smiled in the kiss, this was better then what she had planned.
