Do you see this deal going through in the near future? Harrison said looking serious to the older man sitting across from him at the Port Charles Grill
Mr. Blair if you are willing to put as much effort as you seem to have interest in this project, you can consider the deal done
Thank you Mr. Carlson
No thank you and the man stood up and shook Harrisons hand and then Jaxs hand who was sitting at the other side of the table
The two men watched as Mr. Carlson walked away
So this sudden interest to land this big business deal here in Port Charles would have nothing to do with Alexis would it?
I have the slightest idea of what your talking about Harrison said gleaming at the thought of her
So why wasnt I told of the past love affair instead introducing you two like a fool
I apologize Jax but it was her place to mention that we had a past together. I knew that if you didnt already know that we were aquatinted she obviously didnt want to tell you
Well it seems to have worked out for the best
Honestly, as much at the time when we broke up did I want to forget her and just fall out of love with her I couldnt and never did. I knew from the moment I saw her she was allowed to walk all over me again if she wished
Youre a good man Harrison and she needs that
Thats partly why I wanted you to join me for lunch today. I guess it was kill two birds with one stone.
Need love advice ol mate Jax said proudly
From you never! Actually without imposing, I was wondering if you could tell me a little about Ned Ashton?
Hmm the ex wanting to know about the ex?
More like wanting to know has he always been an arrogant, jealous, ass? Or is this something thats just come over him and I or should I say Alexis just should hope that it will pass
Harrison neither Ned or Alexis seem to be the same people they were a little over a year ago
So as I understand it she ran out on the wedding, was there nothing after that?
I think they tried, honestly I dont think they tried enough, but I think there were things they just couldnt get past
And what about this Corinthos guy
Funny you should ask that was probably one of the main things they couldnt get past
Was she falling for him?
No just works for him Jax said clearly changing to a disapproving tone
I see that you too seem to have a problem with her working for this guy?
Its complicated and as much as I would like to do anything to get you to convince her to get away from him Im not because shes strong and independent, she makes up her own mind and she would kill me
So just to make sure I have this straight, I have her client who I should worry about, but if Im smart try to stay out of her business with him. And a man who is probably still in love with her but is breaking her heart because hes with her sister?
Yeah that pretty much sums it up
You know we really shouldnt joke about neurotic tendencies around her
Theyre almost understandable arent they?
Jax, I want to be the one that heals her heart Harrison said honestly
I hope you can but please dont hurt her in the process
I would never intentionally hurt her but Im in love with her all over again
You have your chance, you seemed to have rode back in her life on a white horse but if you do hurt her youll deal with me
I have to take my chances Harrison said grinning So are you willing to help?
Meaning?
Im in the middle of a deal in New York, a deal thats been dragging but its a big deal not worth letting go of. If a certain corporate raider come in from the other side and puts them on their toes, I can get the deal done and then have the freedom to be here
That simple huh?
I feel like between the both of us, yes
When do you want to go?
ASAP
Let me see how soon I can leave
Harrison and Jax stood up
Thank you Jax. I will owe you
If you make Alexis happy the way you say you want to you owe me nothing
The two men shook hands
Ill call
Thanks
And they parted ways
$*)%^$@#@#^%&)^(^_#%@(%@#^$*^%#^$)%_*$#@%*$^%#^$&%$^#)(@$#$%$#
Alexis turned to look at Harrison over her glasses as he walked in the door
Long lunch
Good Lunch
You seem happy?
Im a very happy man today
He pulled her out of her desk chair
Come with me
What?
Will you just come with me?
Alexis followed Harrison by the pull of the arm-asking question after question until they arrived a few blocks away.
They rode the elevator up to the top floor of the apartment building and Harrison opened the door to the empty penthouse and he again led her by the arm and to the window.
Look
What?
Your penthouse he said pointing
Yes you brought me here to show me where I live?
No I brought you over here to show you where I live but I wanted to point out that I can see you from here
What do you mean where you live?
You dont like it?
No its beautiful, but what about New York
I have interests in Port Charles
Harrison
Its just a place Lex
Its a great penthouse over looking the New York City skyline from every angle. Not to mention your job and your life
It seems my services can be rendered here on Port Charles, I think I have a better view out of this one window and I told you that you cant have a life without love
Youre going to give it all up for me?
Actually I was going to keep the penthouse because a certain woman that Im having a little fling with really likes the uh view and Ill well have somewhere to stay if a business trip needs to be made or a getaway he said now giving a small satisfied grin
They walked around the penthouse and ended up in the kitchen. Alexis kidding, hesitated before walking in
Dont worry I just wanted to show you where the kitchen was and how to get out just in case you ever wandered too far and thought you were lost
Youre the funniest person Ive ever met, She said sarcastically
The sound of a phone ringing interrupted them
Is that you or me? Alexis said looking around
Its me. Hopefully its Jax
Harrison answered the phone before Alexis could question why he was waiting on a phone call from Jax
Harrison hung up the phone after a quick conversation
Plotting? Alexis said raising her left brow
Actually Jax is going to New York with me to help me finish up a deal Ive been working on
Really? When are you going?
In the morning I want to get the deal done with as soon as possible, and that way I can come back to you
Alexis inadvertently started to gnaw at her bottom lip
Lex? Do you not want me to come back?
No, no I just, youre making a big move Harrison. This is just Port Charles and you have a very busy life in the city and how are you to stop cold to be here with me
Alexis was now sitting atop the kitchen counter and Harrison moved forward closing in on the gap between them, resting his hips between her legs.
This is not just for you, its for me. I cant tell you right now how I feel mostly because Im afraid I will push you to far, but I think you already know. I also think maybe you might feel the same way
Alexis interrupted him pulling at his shirt making him come closer until her lips met his
She kissed his passionately taking in the taste of his lips.
Dont kiss me to change the subject
Im kissing you to make a point in the subject Alexis said now unbuttoning Harrisons shirt
Then point taken
How do you feel about me Am I your lover? She said teasingly and lightly kissing at his chin
Am I your girlfriend? She lightly kissed his jaw line
Or do you want me? Now kissing down his neck
Harrison let her kisses sink into his skin and then his hands grab the sides of her face and he made her look into his eyes and he held her attention
Im in love with you he said extremely serious
You shouldnt she snapped back quickly
Why?
Ill find some way to hurt you again
The only thing that would hurt me was if you walked away from me again without a valid reason
How do you know I wont?
Because youll have no reason to
Are you promising?
No Im loving you
Harrison unbuttoned the front of her suit letting the black camisole under it show. The lace of it curved into a v-shape accentuating the outline of her breasts. He ran his finger slowly down the outline until he reached the point. Running his hands down her sides he found the edges of the camisole and he pulled it off of her and he watched her hair fall back on to her shoulders as he undid her bra letting her breasts be exposed to him. She slipped his undershirt over his head and their naked chests embraced each other.
They then made love as if they were in a hurry as if there wasnt enough time to kiss and touch and to make each other feel the way the other did.
Inside of her, he still held her to the kitchen counter and she held on to him and everything she could grip in the moments she was about to scream with pleasure.
Harrison and Alexis both sat on the Kitchen floor. She had his shirt around her.
You are so good, Alexis said letting out a breath and giving him a grin
Im with a woman who knows what shes doing He grinned back
I think we christened the kitchen
Where should we go next? Living room? I have a balcony!
Its 40 degrees outside
What are you saying?
Alexis only shook her head and as she stood up pulling Harrison up behind her.
I say my penthouse and then when you get back well at least think about the balcony! she said teasing him
They went back to her penthouse and they made love again. It was now only hours before Harrison had to leave for New York. Alexis watched him unable to tale her eyes off of his chest as he breathed in and out.
She leaned in to him and she whispered to him as he slept peacefully
Youre right...I have fallen back in love with you
