She told him to get out
She begged him to get out
He did
He left a dozen red roses lying on the table
He left her apartment with an awkward silence
And he left her standing there in tears
It was in none of his intentions to leave that way
A week had passed
She didnt answer his phone calls
And she intentionally dodged him when Port Charles became too small for the both of them
The truth hurt
But the truth was no longer the truth
He had eveyr intention of using her and her daughter
He didnt intend on falling in love with the both of them
He had taunted her with kisses and clever come on lines
But he was the one that fell for them, not her
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
She opened her door
He was sitting in the hallway directly from her doorway
He jumped at the sight of her and caught the door before she could slam it shut
Why are you here?
Ill be right outside this door until you let me talk to you
She paused, thinking
Three minutes
Thats all I need
She let him in
Im in love with you
What! Thats the first words out of your mouth!
Youre only giving me three minutes I have to be brief!
Well dont start with that!
With what? The part where Im confessing I fell for you. That my intentions were to get back at my brother and then I fell in love with you!
Youre not in love with me
Oh believe me I told myself a hundred times I wasnt in love with you but every satisfied smile you made, every smart mouth word you spoke, every eye roll you made with those beautiful big... brown eyes
Stop it!
Youre beautiful and intelligent and sometimes a bit too witty I was the one that was stupid not to think I wouldnt fall for you you won
I won? She interrupted What do you mean I won? I didnt even want to play in the game!
Ric paused
She was frustrated
His hands went to jaw line
His lips to her lips
He kissed her
A deep passionate kiss
He pulled away
She was frustrated and now flustered
Tell me you didnt feel it
Alexis closed her eyes
When you were cocky, when you really didnt feel anything for me you looked me right in the eyes and told me. His hands let go of her You cant look me in the eyes. You cant right now because you felt it
No I didnt she said trying to sound cold and sure of herself
Ric took a step back
I did it to you. Just as every other man in your life did
Dont talk about my life I shared all of that with you in trust, when I thought you were being just as sincere
But I was being sincere and thats why I understand the way you feel right now. I betrayed you. Its happened to you before. Well I also know that in your past, men in your past didnt know how to hold on to you, they just let go. Well Im not letting go of you because Im in love with you!
Alexis sat down on the couch and put her hands to her face
How can I trust you?
Ill earn it somehow he said sitting down beside her
She turned to look at him
His face was sad and she could tell he was struggling with his heart pounding harshly in his throat
You want a second chance?
With you more than anything
She sat for the longest time
He let her think
Start over, a new beginning? she said thinking allowed
No I want this to be the end. I want you to be what was waiting for me at the end of all of this. My end, my cure all to my past mistakes, my past grudges
She leaned in and kissed him
Dont make me the fool
Im the fool if I screw this up Alexis
And he kissed her
And again she kissed back, again and again
That night, they began to write their ending
THE END
