Chapter One.
Entering Marlena's apartment over Kelly's, all Carly saw
was boxes packed and the same with luggage. Marlena was moving back to
Marlena smiled like the Cheshire cat, "Wouldn't you
like to know." Carly's jaw-dropped as she finally understood!
"Marlena, you're not having a baby...are you?' "What gave it
away?" Emily squeaked and hugged Marlena, whom laughed. "Does Jason
know?" "He should, it is his kid." "Is that another reason
why you're leaving?" "Yes, because I want to raise the child away
from danger and/or away from Sam." "Does she know?" "I
opted for not telling her, it would be a headache I don't need. I did however
tell Jason he could see the child whenever he wanted after s/he was born."
"So you're just going to let things happen that way?' "Everything
happens for whatever reason, Carly. Like it or not, people have to move on
if they still all the life around them continues without them."
Marlena wasn't staying in
After Sam left; Marlena led the movers towards the house
she had in
"Marlena, we're heading back to Port Charles."
"Okay Bobby, thanks for coming out." "You're welcome."
Marlena sat down on the couch and shut her eyes for a bit, "I'm so
tired." "Then why don't you go lay down?" "And what? You're
going to take care of him?" "Sure." "Ah, all right
then...I'll be upstairs if he gets fussy or anything." Marlena smooched
her son on his forehead and went upstairs to take a nap. Jason came up a while
later and put baby Dorian in his crib in the nursery and went back downstairs
to watch TV just for a bit. Marlena woke up a few hours later to find Dorian in
his crib asleep; she walked downstairs after showering and dressing to find
Jason asleep on the couch. She chuckled as she turned off the TV and covered
him with a blanket; trudging into the kitchen she made something to eat and
went back upstairs as she turned the baby monitor on while she read. Jason left
the next morning while Marlena was out with the baby at the store shopping.
Months later when Jason would come to visit is when he'd see the house packed
up; Dorian was asleep in his playpen while Marlena was on the phone. "Hey
Jason, come on in." "Thanks, so I guess this is it huh? You're
moving?" "To

and Dorian’s flight landed around
“He
looks just like my grandson, Adam the third.” She raised a brow as she set
Dorian in his playpen to play with some of his toys. “More than anything I can
assure you that their father’s are two different people.” She bent down and ran
her hands through lil’ Dorian’s hair, and grimaced a tad. “No more than likely
your grandson and my son’s father come from two different worlds’.” ‘Especially since Dorian’s father is a Mob
boss’ Hit Man.’ Marlena quietly thought to herself as Dorian crawled into a
corner to play with a stuffed animal. “Depends on what kind of man his father
is.” “Who? Dorian’s or Adam’s? Dorian’s dad works for a coffee importer in Port
Charles. What’s Adam’s father like?” ‘If
he’s anything like him…I’d be terrified.’ Marlena chuckled quietly
to herself as she thought that while watching her son play. “Would you rather
find out for yourself?” “That’d be better then how some parents describe their
own children.” “Around
Dorian
watched the tree’s as they walked over in silence, Marlena chuckled at her son.
“Your father…err…unless I’m wrong on thinking Adam is your father JR…told me
that you have a son? Adam the third I heard.” “Adam is my father...” “Ah okay
then…dare I ask…if that’s not a pressing issue…whose lil Adam’s mother?” “His
mother…Babe Carey...was my wife.” ‘Babe
Carey…oh gosh…I recall hearing about this in
“You
really have all the information on everyone here in
I
didn’t mention at this point that it was the same service that ‘Dinah Cole’ aka
Dixie Martin had come from, I do very well with research on everyone that lives
near me. Past, Present, and preening future included…this even adds in that
girl named ‘Amanda Dillon’. Dorian crawled over to me as I sat back down and I
picked him up to set him in my lap. “I think we should be going…it’s almost
time for his nap. Thank you for lunch.” Settling Dorian on my hip as I stood up
and moved to leave, Marlena blinked as JR stood up. “There something you want
to say?” She waited quietly as Dorian began to fall asleep in her arms. JR just
shook his head as the
“We’ve
heard of it but it’s rare for it to happen around here.” “‘Here’ being this
part of town…am I correct?” “May I come in?” “Little late to be making house
calls…isn’t it?” She stepped back from the door and let him, shutting the door
after he entered the house. “Depends on what you define as a house call.” “As I
remember it…it was something doctors did…for patients who were to sick to get
out of bed.” “That’s true.” JR sat down in the living room; which was dark so she
turned on the over-head light. She moved to sit down in a chair across from him
and crossed her legs, she was nude under her robe but it was her home and she
was just fine that way. “Aren’t you cold?” “Are you assuming I’m naked under
this? I am but whether or not I’m cold is none of your business.” She leaned
back in the chair and thought on something that made her think of Jason for a
minute or two. “So you admit that you’re naked under that robe.” “Yes well who
isn’t after they’ve taken a bath and decided not to get into any clothes…?”
Marlena smirked as he didn’t reply, “So you have yet to tell me why you’re here
JR…I have a nudging feeling it’s not to discuss whether or not I’m nude under
my robe.” “Maybe it was.” Marlena raised a brow and slowly got up, “I think
it’s time you left.” The robe trailed behind her as she walked towards the
front door and opened it. “Goodnight JR.” “Goodnight Marlena.” She smirked as
she left the door a smidge open and dropped her robe in the opening, JR was of
course watching as she shut the door fully and locked it. “That was naughty.”
Marlena quoted Sean Connery as Alan Quartermaine in ‘The League of
Extraordinary Gentlemen’, British accent and all. She put her robe back on and
turned off the over-head light in the living room and returned upstairs. She
was up at
Hiring
a personal instructor was a spur-of-the-moment for her; it would take her a
matter of time to lose the load she needed to go back to what she had been previous
to. One afternoon while she was in her backyard watching Dorian chase geese in
the grass, she saw JR walking over with Adam. She looked towards Jusi who had
just come outside with lunch. “Jusi could you please ask cook to prepare two
more dishes? Just in case?” “Yes ma’am.” “Thank you.” Anna the nanny brought Dorian over and sat
him down in his chair and went to go have a lunch with the staff. “Hello JR,
Adam the third…what brings you over here?” “Adam wanted to see how Dorian was?”
Jusi then appeared with the additional food Marlena had asked about. “Would
Adam and you care to stay for lunch? It’s just chicken salad sandwiches...and
orange juice.” JR nodded and sat down, Lil Adam as much as he wanted and then
went to play in the sandbox with Dorian. “I’m thinking about getting Dorian a
puppy…he’ll require something to stay him busy while I’m working.” “You’re
going back to work?” “Starting September 4th, I’ll be in
“No
I’m not busy and yes I do really wish to uncover that.” “What point ought I to
be expecting you…? Does
JR
just smiled and stirred some when she said that, his hands moved down on her
robe and stopped at the two buttons previous to her hips. His eyes didn’t leave
hers as he slowly undid the buttons and slid one hand inside the robe, which
caused her to curve closer to his hand as it began touching her. His free arm
wrapped around her backside as his hand continued to stroke her slowly but
surely. “No, you’re incredibly hot according to my hand.” “Be that as it
may…are you positive the rest of my body isn’t freezing?” JR grinned at her and
lifted her in his arms; carrying her towards the bed and laid her down on top
of it. Climbing over her; he smirked some more, “There’s only one way to be
certain of that.” So that night, Marlena had sex with JR by candlelight; no one
bothered them the next morning while they were sleeping. Adam (SR)

Chapter Three.
(Skipping Ahead
is the writer’s/author’s choice and that is what I am doing. It is now
September 3rd.)
Marlena had all her bags packed and the staff had their
orders on what to do incase anything should happen while she was away. Emily
and Nikolas were coming out to ‘watch’ the house while she was gone for the
week. She was staying overnight in the hotel inside of the airport so she
wouldn’t miss her
Over the next few days, the weatherman on the TV had said
they were going to have a thunderstorm and Marlena grinned. On the day of the
storm, Marlena had Anna keep watch over Dorian as she locked herself in her
office. Emily hadn’t told Marlena that Jason was coming out to visit her and he
was on his way (in a taxicab) to her house. JR was returning from being out and
was getting soaked just as he saw Marlena step out onto the veranda from her
office in her bra and panties. She looked over and winked at JR and went back
inside and pulled her robe on. Jusi stopped her in the hallway adjacent from
her office/study to tell her that two men were in the living room. “Thank you
Jusi.” Jason and JR sat quietly in front of the roaring fire that Pierce had
turned on to keep them warm. Marlena came downstairs in her bathrobe and was
drying her hair with towel when she stopped at the landing of the stairway.
“Hello boys.” She handed the towel to one of the maids to have cleaned; she was
still a little damp. “JR this is Jason Morgan my childhood friend and Dorian’s
father. Jason this is Adam (JR)
“So, he’s Dorian’s father?” “Yes and he works for a
coffee exporter/importer in Port Charles. I grew up next door to him...and his
sister Emily.” Marlena and JR had gone upstairs to her office/study for the
time being. “Do you still love him?” “Hard to say actually…I never really
stopped…it’s just very difficult for us.” Jason had been walk by with Dorian in
his arms and stopped outside of the office to listen. “Why’s that?” “His boss
and I don’t get along…also add in the fact that he had someone when I came back
into town.” Marlena sat on the couch next to JR and curled up; she was in a
towel now but still drying off. “Okay, I think I’m going to go to bed now.” She
stood up and Jason zipped past the office/study to the room he was staying in.
JR grinned, “Do you want any company?” She smirked, “Sure…but you’re going to
have to wait for a few minutes. I need a warm shower.” “Fine by me.” He
followed her upstairs and shut her bedroom door behind them. “I’ll be back in
five minutes.” She grabbed something from her chest of drawers and went into
the bathroom to freshen up. Dressed in a baby-doll T-shirt (black) and box-cut panties
(lace); she smelled of Jasmine and Rose as she climbed into bed. “You feel any
better?” She grinned at his question and yanked him down to her level; she
first nipped his bottom lip and kissed him deeply. She had no problem being
caught with JR…that was only if Jason walked in on them. It wasn’t that she was
trying to make him jealous or
anything; she needed to somehow show herself there were other men out there
that weren’t Jason Morgan. JR was
still asleep when she woke up the next morning; Jusi brought their breakfast
into the room and had told her that Jason had brought Dorian to the park for a
few hours. JR had invited her over the
Amanda quietly left the house; Marlena smirked because she
was yanking the poor girl’s chain. Amanda may want JR and JR may want Babe away
from Jamie…but
The next morning the movers came to take everything and
she went about ordering new furniture and the like for all the rooms. “It’s my
outlet…for letting go finally…new furniture Great-Grandma Grace…means a new
start. I’ll change the entire house around…paint and wallpaper even. I’ll use the
ideas I had as a kid when I visited her when I was a small child. You’d be
proud of me…I know I am.” The graveyard for the Huffinton family who used to
live in the house was in the backyard; it was a private one. She walked back
inside the house and closed the terrace doors behind her. “Pierce, Jusi I need
to speak with you please.” They both hurried into the living room. “I want
everyone to stay home for the next few days…I’m going to be painting and
wallpapering…and I may call for people to help me…I’ll have the agency call you
when I am done.” The staff left as per her request and she had done what she
said she would…the furniture arrived soon after she was finished and the movers
put everything in the rooms the way she wanted it. The staff was back the next
morning as she was out at the store buying new everything for the beds and the
like. After taking her shower she sat down in her bedroom and lit some of the
new candles that sat along the bay window, and the music in the background was
Gavin DeGraw(from Chariot: Stripped)
was ‘Belief’. She was softly muttering the words along with the music and
closed her eyes; Jusi came in and stood there quietly. “Yes Jusi?” “Madam, Mr.
JR is here to see you.” “Send him up…thank you Jusi.” Jusi nodded and left; JR
entered the room a few minutes later and sat down in the wingback chair as he
watched her. “Marlena…are you all right?” “Never better…I’m just very lost on
what I am right now. I don’t even think I know who I am anymore.”
She sighed as she ran a hand through her hair and leaned
against the wall in the window. “What do you mean?” “Ever feel like you no
longer knew who you were in some aspect? Like your life at some point had
meaning that suddenly stopped one day?” JR was stunned in silence at what she
was saying and then thought about it before he answered her. “Somedays…I wonder
if the hand I was dealt was meant for me…like God had messed up and won’t
re-shuffle the deck for me.” She laughed at that and just shook her head, “God
never re-shuffle’s the deck for anyone…he puts the cards the way he wants them
and then has you decide how your deal shall be dealt with.” She pulled the pack
of cigarettes (Turkish Silver) from her breast pocket and lit it by use of the
candle flame; then opened the window to blow the smoke out. “It is said that in
Chapter Four.
(Three and a
half weeks later.)
Marlena had gone to put the mail out and stopped when she
saw a girl who had short curly hair (brunette) whom was dressed in a green
halter dress. “Are you Marlena Huffinton?” “Yes, I am…and you are?” “Kendell
Slater.” Truthfully her name is Kendell Hart because Erica Kane who is her
mother…this daughter had a different father. “I see…how can I help you?” “I
need to talk to you about JR.” “I – okay then…come on in.” She headed back towards
the house and headed upstairs to her office/study. “Have a seat.” Marlena sat
down and sifted through the bills to write out the needed checks and mail them
back out. “So, you want to talk about JR…is there a problem?” “He can’t seem to
figure out what you want him to tell you.” “If you mean about the question I
asked him…all’s he has to tell me is what he knows about me…not what he’s heard but what he knows about me. Maybe I should make
you a list so that his answer would sound more profound to me.” “You’re kidding
me…aren’t you?” She just sat back, arms crossing her upper body. “No…I guess
not.” Kendell got up and left; Marlena just shook her head. “Someone’s got to
do your work...goat herder.” After putting the checks with the bills they
needed to be with, she put them back in the mailbox. She decided to go in the
back yard and play with Dorian who went back inside a few hours later for
dinner, his bath, and bed. She sat in the chair on her back porch and ran her
fingers through her hair. “Marlena...” She looked up to see JR standing there
and lightly smiled. “Yes JR?” “I know what you mean to me…even if I have a
grudge against my former wife and step-brother…Kendell and I am
lovers/friends…the only thing I seem to actually understand what I do with you...” She raised a brow, “I’m still
listening...” “You actually make me understand what the hell I’m doing these
days…with my life…just about everything. I can’t seem to know what I’m thinking
when I’m around you but it just works for me somehow…it fits.”
She sat back and
then stood up, “Then we both know what we’re doing and don’t need to answer to
anyone who asks anymore.” She started to make sense to herself, this was it and
she couldn’t step back to what she thought she wanted. She had selected JR over
Jason…not that she’d move in with JR or something…for now it was what it was.
JR nodded and pulled her close, his hand ran alongside the back of her neckline
as he pulled her into an intense kiss. She yanked him by the shirt into the
house and up to her bedroom; there was no turning back now from what was about
to go on. Sure they had made love more than once but it was going to be
different for them both…don’t ask her why or how but it just would be. Marlena
even felt different after they were done; curling up against him she pushed the
hair out of her face. She had been thinking about telling JR what she knew in
relation to the bargain he had with Amanda and/or the things she had told her
that day she had come over. ‘That would
be a bad idea…especially since my superiors agree that I should follow
this…since it’s a personal vendetta that JR is waging against Babe and
Jamie…but what Dixie had told him was a basic ultimatum. I can’t compete with
that…not in the slightest bit.’ She shut her eyes and rested her head
against his chest as he ran his hands throughout her brunette locks. She
smirked and shifted against him; JR blinked. “What?” “You’ll see…come on.” She
grabbed him by the hand and ran down the stairs in just a towel and out the
back door. Marlena had a Jacuzzi in her back yard and ran for it, grinning as
she ran. “Out here?” “Yes...why are you frightened of being caught? It won’t
bite…and neither will I.” She winked as she let the towel drop and climbed in
once she uncovered the Jacuzzi; he stepped in after her (he had been wearing
his robe) and she straddled his lap.
The Jacuzzi kept them warm in the cool night air and he
wouldn’t be as uncomfortable since the Jacuzzi had jet-streams for the upper
and lower back. She had certainly shocked him with this spur of the moment
scheme. Jason would have done that with her…if she could sweet-talk him into
it…and that all depended on if he was still with Sam or not. Sadly, Jason was
with Sam and Marlena was now with JR…and she wouldn’t apologize for anything
she did at the moment. She was making herself be prominent in some way now…she
knew it and was blissful about it. At ‘work’ the next day; Marlena was silent
for the first time in her life because she was that delightful about something
in her life. Although, there was something still nudging and tugging at her
that made her think differently about what she felt…she needed help to sort it
out. The registered CIA psychiatrist was the only person she trusted since they
had been best friends during academy training. When she got home, Dorian and
his nanny were in the lounge and she just spent time with her son before
deciding if she was going to call the woman or not. After dinner, she sat in
her bedroom watching the night sky as the stars lit it up. Except now she knew
from reading more files at work that ‘Dixie’ was ‘Di Kirby’ an ex-con who was
working with David to formulate a plan to get Babe more time with Lil Adam…and that
Dixie had invited everyone to the Family Fourth Of July Picnic. “This whole
world could fall apart and JR would still want to be standing next to his
mother instead of his dad (Adam SR). It will come crashing down around him…that
will be there for him when the dust settles.”
She climbed into bed; it was figuratively tainted with
what she had turned into and lost. The next morning she’d call the people who’d
clean out her Jacuzzi; she gave the staff the fourth off so she’d be by herself
(minus Anna and Dorian) in the mansion. Monday came around and she stayed
inside; Anna had Dorian outside for a few hours before
JR let go of her and just nodded, “Fine by me. I’ll come
by later.” She just nodded and shut the door after he left. Anna came
downstairs and asked if she could take Dorian to the park for a while, Marlena
allowed it as she had “work” to do. Once they were gone; Marlena went upstairs
and closed all of the bedroom doors and sifted through her CD collection for ‘A
Goofy Movie’ (© Disney) Soundtrack. The voice of Tevin Campbell boomed through
the large manor as he sang ‘Stand Out’ who he did the voice of Powerline for
the film. The music echoed all the way through the temporarily empty abode as
she was back downstairs in the kitchen actually eating her lunch. Anna returned
a few hours later to feed Dorian dinner; Marlena took him from her to give him
a bath and put him to bed. She sat on the lounge couch with her solid black
laptop on a small table in front of her as she was reviewing something her
superiors had sent her earlier that morning. There was a knocking on her front
entrance and she got up to answer it, but logged out of her CIA files that were
strictly ‘confidential’. She trudged
towards the door and carefully opened it; she was very tired for no reason.
“Hey, can I come in?” Again, it was JR and she let him inside. “You look dead tired…is anything wrong?” She
shrugged and feebly shut the door behind him; he groaned and carried her
upstairs. She curled on top of her bed as JR sat down beside her; she kind of
clung on to the sheets like she was in pain. Something was wrong or at least
that’s what she believed; but she just laid there quiet for a while despite the
fact that JR was next to her.
She slowly sat up and climbed into his lap for a short
time; his arms stayed wrapped around her incase she fell asleep in his lap. She
did fall asleep in his lap and he placed her under the bedcovers, with his arms
wrapped around her waist and his chin soothingly buried amid the back of her
left ear and her neckline he was reasonably at ease. During the night;
something began to rouse in her that made her come around. JR was asleep beside
her and she skewed her head to the side somewhat and climbed over him lightly. ‘He sleeps like a baby…as where Jason rarely
could.’ He shifted under her and she
slid back beside him, resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes to
try and fall asleep again. The phone beside her bed woke her up at
Later that afternoon is when she got a rather bad phone
call from Carly, “Thanks Carly…I’ll be out as soon as I can.” Hanging up the
phone, Marlena ran her hands over her face and sighed. “Just what I need…a
nuisance named Jason in the hospital.” Slumping into her office chair, she
looked outside in her yard to where Dorian was playing in his sandbox. “You
know what? No…not this time.” She picked up the phone and called Carly back,
“Hey Carly its Marlena. Listen I’ve changed my mind and I’m not coming out
after all. Bye.” She hung up and sat back once more in her chair, “Times like
this…call for Josh Groban.” She smiled and moved over to her sound system and
gently slid the silver disk into place and pressed ‘play’. The soothing and
very calming voice that belonged to the man (not boy) named Josh Groban who so
many loved sang over the speakers throughout the large abode. The song that
began to play (because she selected ‘random select’ as program) was called Canto Alla Vita and it featured another
band she loved, The Corrs.

Chapter Five.
(Given the ideal circumstances
of the show ~~ this story is now no longer
“going with that flow” so it’s
taking a turn of its own.)
It had been a few months and
Dorian had begun to walk and talk on his own, able to ask Anna to get him
certain things he wanted. Marlena stayed home to work (which her supervisor’s
didn’t mind at all since it had become very quiet in Pine Valley.) which had
become very meek to her. Carly hadn’t called her since she decided not to come
see Jason in the hospital, but Emily was coming to visit in a week or two. Jusi
had prepared the guest room closest to Marlena’s room for Emily’s arrival. The
cook, Jacob was making planning special meals for that entire week at Marlena’s
request. JR had been a tad busy with everything that had been going on/found
out by everyone. It was a dangerous disaster that had happened; even more so
she wasn’t in any hurry to try and say something to make JR even madder at her
for no reason at all. The night before Emily’s arrival; Marlena went out and
rented some movies (Fight Club,
But more than likely she might
take someone’s head off anyway; because now Dixie and Tad were going to be lil
Adam’s godparents...Erica Montgomery’s family didn’t want to be on the premiere
show of her series, ‘New Beginnings’. “I’m out of here…don’t come looking for
me…it would be in your best interest.”
Emily frowned as Marlena left the room and she heard the front door slam shut.
Marlena sat on her front step and pulled the pack of cigarettes from her back
pocket and lit one.
“Well…I should get going
before JR begins to worry about where I went.” Marlena chuckled, “Yes I can
understand what you mean by that
“I’m a CIA agent Mr. Martin…I
know everything in this town…” “Does JR know you know? Or Erica for that
matter?” “No and I don’t want to make any enemies…so if you do tell them…you’re
going to have to say you didn’t get my name.” Tad nodded, “That’s if I tell
them.” “True enough…it was nice to see you again Mr. Martin. Oh and good luck
on being lil Adam’s godfather.” Tad smiled and waved as Marlena headed back
over towards JR. “What was that about?” “I was just saying hello…he used to
come over when I was about so-high at my great-grandmother’s.” JR nodded and
wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close to him. Jamie and Babe were
walking by and Jamie spotted JR standing there with Marlena. Jamie raised a
brow, “Babe…do you know who that woman is?” “No…why do you?” “That’s Grace
Huffinton’s great-granddaughter…she lived next door to the Chandlers for
years…my dad used to bring me over there when she’d visit.” “Where is she
from?” “Somewhere in
JR was in the shower (Marlena
had sent Pierce to go ask Dixie to give him a change of clothes for JR…Dixie
didn’t ask why though.) as Marlena was picking up the clothes and set them in
an empty chair as she pondered what to wear. She eyed a light red dress (it was
a halter dress) and slowly pulled it on after getting on her bra and panties.
That’s when Jusi showed Jamie in, Marlena raised a brow (at the same time…JR
came out of the bathroom with the towel around him). “Wow…this is a shocker.”
Marlena said quietly as she went to stand in front of JR. “I didn’t expect you
to just…drop by like this Jamie.” Her hand snuck behind her back and linked its
way into one of JR’s. “You should have called…” “I guess I should have…and this
was quite a surprise to me Marlena.” “How’s that?” Marlena looked up at JR and
stayed where she was…between them. Emily and she were going to the museum in a
few minutes…Pierce left JR’s clothes on her desk. “Well I would have thought
Marlena would have better taste in men.” Marlena bit her lip, “Obviously you
haven’t heard whom my son’s father is Jamie.” “Your son?” “Yes…I have a son
Jamie. Dorian Jason Morgan…named after his father and my own…his father is a
hit man for a mob boss back in Port Charles. Now if you’ll excuse me…I’m going
to have to ask you both to leave. My
friend Emily and I are going with Dorian to the museum for a few hours.” She
snatched up her purse as she left her bedroom and saw Emily waiting for her at
the end of the hall with Dorian in her arms. “Ready to go?” “Yes I am…let’s
go.” Emily took her purse and let Marlena carry Dorian as they went to the
garage and drove off into town for a few hours. When they got back JR and Jamie
had left; Anna took Dorian to feed him and then get him for bed. “Emily…did you
bring anything for a night out?” “Yeah I did…why?” “Go get ready…I’m going to
leave a note on the door incase anyone drops by…” Marlena taped the note on the
front door and the staff left after the girls headed out to the nearest dance
club.
Emily giggled and watched
Marlena let loose on the dance floor in the middle of the crowd as they danced
to Sugar Ray’s Abracadabra. Marlena sat back down after she needed a
breather and the waiter came to get her drink, “Apple Martini.” The waiter
nodded and walked off to get her drink, Emily was sipping a soda. “Looks like
you’re the driver tonight.” “Yes I am.” Emily smiled, “So you wanted to tell me
a little about the people you knew in this town?” “Ah yes…where should I begin?
Let’s start with the Martin family. Tad and Brooke English are the parents of
Jamie Martin…who’s engaged to Babe Carey. Which to be exact…she’s JR’s ex-wife
and lil Adam’s mommy. Now then JR’s mother is Dixie and his father is Adam
Chandler SR. Dixie and Tad were married and should have had a baby girl but
three years ago she was in a ‘car accident’ and is now back from the dead.
Jamie is JR’s step-brother and they are not getting along because of things
that have come down around them both over the past three years.” Emily blinked,
“Damn…that’s a lot of history.” “That’s just the easy stuff…you want to talk difficult? Try the list of men Erica
Kane…I’m sorry…Erica Montgomery has been married to and not to mention all the
daughters, one son, and one son-in-law she has now.” “Jeez…and your
great-grandmother knew all these people?” “So did I…and some I still do…which
is strange because Adam SR and JR were a lot alike until
“I have a question for you
Marlena.” “Yes Emily?” “If you had to stop a fight…whom would you stop it
between?” “Why?” “You may have to…look.” Marlena looked over her shoulder as
Jamie stepped in the door with Babe and JR spotted them. “I may have to…unless
you can get home all right…this can be avoided easily.” “Emily hugged Marlena
and went to leave meanwhile Marlena weaved her way through the crowd towards JR
and climbed in his lap on the barstool. “Hey there…” “I thought you were with a
friend?” “I was…she said I could come over and distract you for a while. Is it
working?” JR grinned and rested his hands on her hips, “What do you think?”
Marlena grinned and leaned against his chest then kissed him…and it wasn’t one
of the run-of-the-mill kisses either. It was hot and heavy and heated; of
course they had on-lookers and they both ignored them. Jamie and Babe had
disappeared into the crowd thanks to Marlena distracting JR fully. She shifted
as he hands fondled the silky material that her dress was made of. “What is
this dress made of?” “The top or bottom half?” “Both.” She smirked, “Half silk
and half satin.” “This must have been expensive.” “It was…but I have four
others like it back at home.” He smirked and rubbed her waist gently; she
grinned and nibbled on his earlobe just a tad. “JR…I have an itch that I can’t
quite reach…could you scratch it for me?” “Depends on where it is.” She grinned
and snuck one of his hands in-between her legs (under her panties); then buried
her face in his neck (that way no one would hear her moaning). Babe had gone to
get Jamie a drink and when she got back; Jamie had his eyes on JR and Marlena.
“What the hell is he doing to her?” “From what I can see? I can’t say for sure
but looks like he’s playing down south.” Jamie choked on his drink and Babe
laughed. “Oh jeez Babe…did you have to say that?” “What? It’s true! She has her
face buried in his shoulder to probably keep from others hearing her
scream/moan.” Jamie groaned as she said that, “Babe!” “Sorry!” Babe giggled and leaned on Jamie.
Chapter Six.
(God knows for whatever REASON I let Jamie –walk- in on JR and Marlena
after they had sex…but that was funny!)
JR had brought Marlena back to
the Chandler Estate tonight (after the little game in the club anyway) it was a
good idea. He locked his bedroom door so that he wouldn’t be disturbed at all
by anyone or anything for any reason at all. JR made her shiver and squirm in
ways unimaginable; she’d be very sore the next morning so JR drew her
bubble-bath and slid her into the warm water. “I’ll have your dress ready by
the time you get out.” “Thanks JR.” She closed her eyes and sank beneath the
bubbles in the silence as she quietly sang Josh Groban’s Alla Luce Del Sole
to herself. Stepping out of the tub with a towel draped around her; she used a
blow-dryer to dry her hair and moved back into the bedroom to sit on the bed.
JR returned with her dry-cleaned dress and watched her as she got back into it.
“So will I see you later?” “You may…I have some business to take care of
first.” She nodded and headed back home, it was Emily’s last day (her flight
out was at
Sonny nodded, “All right…I
just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something else that was making you act this
way.” “Well…there is another reason…two actually…I don’t want my son’s life to
ever be in danger…and I’m happy here…I actually found someplace I can just be
me because of a well-set history between my great-grandmother and this town.”
She leaned against the open-door frame but didn’t see JR coming in the back,
“Does that satisfy your question Sonny?” “Fine by me…take care of yourself
Marlena.” Marlena chuckled and closed the door after he left; that’s when JR
slid his arms around her middle. She grinned and leaned against him, “Did you
sneak in?” “Yes I did.” She snuggled up against him and smiled more; the status
of their relationships was frozen in one
spot but she didn’t even know anymore if she cared about what they are to
each other. Was life ever this complicated with Jason? Did I ever not know
where I stand with him? Yes…I did…when I left and when I came back.. JR
left her after a few hours since he had a busy morning; so she went to shower
and get into bed…which while she slept she had a very strange dream indeed. She
saw three doors before her that were marked with three names: JR, Jason, or
Jamie…which scared her. She looked down next to her and saw Dorian crawling
towards the space in between JR and Jason’s doors. “No…this is just a
dream…it isn’t real…and I can sing
my way out of this one.” She quietly began to sway left and right as she
started to sing Canto Alla Vita by
Josh Groban [which featured Andrea Corr of The Corrs]. The doors began to spin
in a small circle as she sang and she watched as Dorian hurried back over to
her side. “This is some sort of test…to see if I made the right decision for myself…and I’d kill
myself before trying to take Jamie from Babe…leave that idea to JR and Amanda.”
“Walking away will just
make it worse…that’ll mean I can’t decide…and I don’t want the past…or at least
I don’t want Jamie.” She looked towards the door with JR’s name on it;
picking up Dorian she strided towards it and the doors slowly came to a stop.
She stepped back from the door after she opened it; JR stepped out and pulled
her close to him. The other two doors opened; Jason and Jamie both left the
area as Marlena leaned against JR with her hand entangled with his as she
watched them walk away. ‘I hope I know what I’m doing…no…you know what? I do
know what I’m doing. I’ve made my final choice and its JR. No one else.’
She curled against her pillows as the gray-colored dream world faded and she
woke up. She sat up and run a hand through her hair, “I assume this means that
my final decision is coming up? I wouldn’t be surprised if they were all
downstairs waiting for me.” Just then Jusi came in, “Ma’am, there are three men
downstairs in the lounge waiting for you.” Marlena bit her lip and slid out of
bed, “Thank you Jusi…could you have Anna bring Dorian down there for me?” “Yes
Ma’am.” Jusi left as Marlena went to pull on some clothes (black halter-top,
black dress pants, boots, and a sports jacket) then moved to go downstairs.
“JR, Jamie, and Jason…to what do I owe this visit?” ‘I’m afraid but I need
to remain calm…just make the same decision like you did in your dream.’
Jamie stood up, “I’m not here for the same reason they more than likely are…I
just wanted to come and visit you.” Marlena nodded, “Then could you go wait out
on the back porch? This won’t take more than twenty minutes.” Jamie nodded and
moved to go outside; Anna handed Dorian to Marlena. “So…what is this about?” “I
think it’s about time you made a final decision of who you want, Marlena.” She
looked at JR and inhaled deeply, then slowly walked past Jason to him. “I
believe I’m making that decision right now.” Her hand settled into JR’s and
Dorian curled against his mother; she turned to look at Jason. “I’m not
sorry…and you need to remember…you replaced me with Sam…I’m not replacing you
because I never had you. Sam on the other hand…will always have you. End of story.” She leaned against JR as he
wrapped his arms around her waist.
Jason ran a hand through his
hair and left to head back to Port Charles for good; Marlena curled against JR
and smiled. “Want to spend some time with Dorian while I go see Jamie for a
little while?’ JR just nodded, “Yeah fine…may as well get to know him better.”
Marlena smirked as she handed Dorian to JR, “Dorian or Jamie?” “Very funny.”
Marlena swatted JR’s butt as she left to head outside, she stopped Jusi on her
way towards the double-doors. “Jusi, could you bring a pitcher of lemonade
outside?” “Yes ma’am.” Marlena stepped outside and sat calmly in one of her
wicker porch chairs, “So Jamie…what’s this visit about?” “I just wanted to
catch up on whatever you were doing while you weren’t here.” “That’s a long
history but I think I can give it to you.” She smiled and sat back as Jusi left
the tray for them, “After graduating High School I went to the
Jamie nodded, “I heard of that
before…but would have it been as bad as you thought?” “Now that I consider
about it…probably not but I wouldn’t risk trying to take you from Babe…since I
heard that you and her are now engaged.” “Yes that’s correct, we are engaged.”
“I hope your marriage does not fall apart…because that would make JR very
happy…” “I figured as much…no Babe and I am going to try our hardest to make
this work.” She chuckled, “That’s good to know…at least you two firmly know
where you both stand with each other.” “What do you mean?” “This may sound
crazy…but I always knew where I stood with Jason but with JR…it’s like there’s
an element or something and I don’t even know where I am at with him.” “Maybe
you should ask him…” “Yes I know I should ask him that, Jamie…just I’d rather
not give him a time length as to when he should answer me.” “Then don’t…if he
answers to soon…you know he doesn’t know…and if he answers sometime down the
line…” “Then I’ll know he’s telling the truth.” Jamie nodded, “Well…I need to
get going. I have some work to do…but I’ll call the next time I want to drop
by.” “All right Jamie. It was nice seeing you…bye.” She waved goodbye to Jamie
and headed back inside into the family room where she found that JR had fallen
asleep on the couch with Dorian. Smiling, she enclosed the two with a long
blanket and moved upstairs for a while. The next day was that ceremony for Tad
and
She sat in one of the chairs
in the family room as she was reading the morning paper; the loud knocking on
her front door frightened her and she went to see whom it was. With much
surprise she opened it to see a rather upset JR standing there. “JR…what’s the
problem? Are you okay?” JR just sighed and wrapped his arms around her, his
face buried in her shoulder. Marlena quietly rubbed his back and brought him to
sit on the couch, her hands rested with his as he told her what had happened.
“Oh…JR I’m so very sorry…I know there’s probably nothing I can do to help…” JR
shifted in his spot and rested his head in her lap (after she put a pillow
there); she rested her hands on his shoulders and leaned back against the arm
of the couch. JR didn’t go back to the

Chapter Seven.

without anyone but
Marlena knew the hurricane was
coming so she went out during the day and returned to her room before the storm
hit (she had heard about Maxine from her supervisors in town and had also
picked up batteries, a flashlight, and some candles). She knew about Carly
being head of the charitable thing for
Sam and Jason were at Sonny’s
compound with Michael and Dr. Thomas. “Emily?” “Hey Jase, I need to tell you
something.” “Is everything all right?” “Yeah I’m fine…
Jason pulled Sam aside and
told her to go upstairs and sent Max (one of Sonny’s men) with her. “I’ll b
back.” “Where are you going?” “There’s some unfinished business I have to take
care of.” Jason kissed Sam and moved to leave, it was raining very badly and he
got soaked to the bone as he reached the
“It’s better than the truth…I
already told her you didn’t want to see me anymore.” Jason shrugged, Marlena
shifted and sprawled out a bit…she was shocked when Jason pulled her into his
lap. ‘Why is he doing this? Why am I not moving out of his lap? Do I still love him?’ Marlena didn’t know
anymore…she really didn’t…slowly she leaned back against him. Jason quietly
wrapped his arms around her waist as he rested his chin against her shoulder;
Marlena lightly ran her freshly painted (sky-blue) nails against his arms and
frowned just a tad. ‘I wish I felt this safe with JR…maybe one day I will…’
Jason could tell something was the matter with her and whispered (in a deep
husky tone) in her ear. “Marlena…is something the matter?” “I…actually don’t
know anymore. I feel strangely safe around you Jason…but not with JR…I wish I
knew why.” She curled against him, her head resting lightly on his chest to
listen to his heart beat. Jason held her close to him while she did that,
“It’ll sort itself out Marlena…you’ll see…you’ll know whom you’re supposed to
be with soon enough.” She frowned and buried her face in his chest, inhaling
deeply which caused her to shiver and curl against him more; she then began to
yawn and nuzzled up against him. Lifting her up, Jason carried Marlena towards
the bed to lay her under the covers. “Don’t go just yet…” Jason blinked at her
as she said that, he climbed under the covers and let her curl against him.
She’s afraid of something, Jason told himself as he held her close. Burying her
face in his neck, Marlena felt helpless and lost…she didn’t know what she
wanted anymore. Do I want JR? Do I want Jason? I can’t have both; Marlena
quietly groaned which made Jason perk and grunt some. Marlena blinked and
peeked under the covers; she bit her lip and slid away from him. “I’m sorry…”
She said her voice barely a whisper. “It’s all right Marlena…I didn’t think…”
“…that I still cared…I can understand how that could happen…”
She slowly sat up and rested
her chin on her knees; the downpour was still going on outside. He watched her
quietly and sat up next to her, “…I didn’t mean it the way it sounded…” She
shrugged a little and leaned against him. “Your clothes should be dry by
now…but I don’t know if you would want to risk going out in this weather.”
Jason looked at her and lay back down, “I’m better off staying…at least until
the storm clears up.” Marlena nodded and stayed on her side of the bed; she curled up on her left side so that her
back was to him and slowly fell asleep. Jason didn’t fall asleep…he spent the
majority of the night watching her sleep…Marlena woke up in the middle of the
night and she could feel his eyes on her. Turning over slowly, Marlena rested
her head against his chest with her arms wrapped around him. Jason blinked and
looked down at her, “Marlena…is everything all right?” “…I just want you to
know…that no matter what…I’ll always love you…even if we’re 3,000 miles apart
or in the same room…” “…what about JR?” “…I love him…but it’s not the kind of
love that has me still up at night thinking of you…” “…what are we to do?” “…We
have to tell them…” “Them?” “Sam and JR…but separately…it’s easier that way…so
the other doesn’t go after you or me…” “They won’t like it.” “No, I suppose
they won’t…but they’ll need to live with it won’t they? They can’t change how
we think or feel…they just need to embrace it and live with it.” Jason nodded
in agreement and lightly kissed her on the forehead.
When the hurricane did finally
pass; Jason returned to Sonny’s compound and Marlena took the first flight back
to
“Well…ahem…there’s little
detail I have about what JR and I do together…I also have a problem.” “Which
is?” “I have to tell him…I love him…but I don’t love him in the way I love the
father of my son.” “It’s different?” “Very different…I’ve know Dorian’s father
since I was little…because I grew up next door to him…” “I can see how it would
be different…and difficult.” “It’s a meshing of both…which makes me feel even
worse because I have to tell him and I don’t want to take forever doing just
that.” After Tad left,
“I’d never want to do that
JR…I’d never feel right if it made you feel uncomfortable at all.” “Not unless
he was here…then it would…” Marlena nodded and wrapped herself around him,
“Let’s go inside hmm?” “Sounds good to me.” Marlena chuckled and dragged JR
inside; she paused when she saw Jusi letting someone in as she stepped back.
“JR…you know how you said you’d feel uncomfortable?...well…you just may if my
gut is right.” And it was…JR took his leave as Jason approached her; Marlena
spun around to pounce-hug Jason and curled herself against him. “What did Sam
say?” “She understands how you feel somehow…she doesn’t blame you for how this
has happened.” “Good answer…very good answer.” Marlena giggled and snuggled
against him, “I was just about to go to bed…want to join me?” “Sure, so how did
JR take the news?” Jason asked as he moved up the stairs, Marlena smiled.
“Better than I expected…he just told me he’d feel uncomfortable if you were
around and that happened so he went home.” Marlena settled on her bed once they
were there and scrambled under the covers, since Jason had disappeared into the
bathroom for a bit. When he did come out, his shirt was slung over his shoulder
and she snickered as she watched him from under the sheets. Jason got into the
bed after a few minutes and wrapped his arms around her, Marlena wiggled up
against him…they were a very ODD
pair; since she’s so much shorter than he is.
Chapter Eight.
(“Oh my giddy aunt!” Ahem…sorry about that quote…I can’t recall
what movie it’s from…I think Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of
Life…maybe…sounds like a Bryce line.)
Sleep?...Did she sleep last
night? Not to her knowledge because when Jason’s around her body went into overdrive
and she was more energized than the “energizer bunny” to say the least. Jusi
had brought them breakfast and left it on Marlena’s desk in her bedroom since
the two of them were a little more than busy
under the bedcovers…that’s right…Jason and Marlena were having sex. To tell the
truth Marlena didn’t even know how it turned into that…and she wouldn’t even
know how to explain it if she had to. She was still positioned on top of Jason
when Jusi had left as it were they were going for round two, they’d be at this
all day if she didn’t have to go into work for a special case. “I’ll be back at
four…you’ll have the whole day with Dorian if you want to.” She said as she
clammered down the stairs at lighting speed, “I’ll call when I’m about to
leave…stay out of trouble…” She grinned at Jason and kissed him on the
forehead. “I will.” “If you know how.” She snickered and ran outside to catch
the car they had sent to pick her up; Jason kept himself busy with Dorian most
of the day and sat about some of it...reading. Marlena stepped in the front
door around
Jason joined her in the tub
and let her lean against him under the water, “I’ll feel much better after
this…I’ll have a better nights rest.” Jason grinned, “And who said that you’d
be sleeping at all tonight? I don’t think you will be.” She squealed as he
pulled her from the tub and back into the bedroom. “We should finish what we
were about to do all day today…” “Mmm…if I hadn’t been called in this
morning…great idea.” She giggled and they returned to having sex just like the
night before and that morning. The bath had relaxed all the right muscles to
keep them from getting sore until they did fall asleep sometime the next
morning. Marlena whined and clung to Jason as she slowly woke up, “Ugh…not
ready to wake up just yet…” She curled herself to him; her nose nuzzled the
underside of his neck. Jason smirked and pulled her over him, “If you want to
go back to sleep…there’s a possibility I can make you sleepy all over again.”
Marlena snerked and slid down onto him, he grunted softly. “…unless you want to
do it yourself that is…” “That I believe I can do…” She grinned and slowly
began to ride him…carefully at first and then she gradually picked up the pace.
Jason kept his hands on her hips, meeting her in the middle by thrusting up
inside her. Whimpering softly as her muscled clamped tightly around him, she
moaned as she climaxed and slowly rested down on top of him. Jason flew back to
Port Charles later that night; although she was sad to see him go…she knew he’d
be all right back home. She raised a brow as one of the planes that landed…Sam
was getting off of it. “Sam? Where’s the fire?” “Where’s Jason?” Marlena
pointed to the plane that had just taken off, “On his way home…why?” Sam
sighed, “I was just…worried….he never said when he was coming home.”
“That’s unlike him…how’d you
get here?” “Sonny fueled up the jet for me…I leave in about fifteen minutes.”
“Not much time for a walk around town…how do you feel about coffee?” “Coffee?”
Marlena walked towards the food court and ordered two coffee’s to go. Sam took
the one Marlena held out to her and they went to sit by the gate. “Thanks…I
guess I needed this.” “It’s all right…I can understand your worry about
him…Jason has had one hell of a life…Never seems to be dull but it never seems
to get any easier for him does it?” “No…it doesn’t…” “Sam…I want to let you
know that if you’re ever having any doubts or something…I’m here for you and
him…I just want to help and I would fully understand if the arrangement that
Jason and I have together makes you feel strange…” “Thank you Marlena…and yes
that arrangement does make me feel uncomfortable…but I can understand the
history you and he have together…so I will do my best and I will come to you if
I need advice.” “Better me than Carly right?” Sam laughed and nodded her head.
“I heard she offered you 5 million dollars to get rid of you?” Sam nodded, “Yes
she did…but I didn’t take it.” “Of course not…I make less than that in a year…so
if it had been me…it would have turned ugly.” “It did…we started a fight.”
“Ouch…I wonder something…” “What?” “Well…if we didn’t know each other and
such…wouldn’t people assume we’re sisters? We do sort of look a like.” Marlena
looks like the actress Sophia Bush who plays Brooke Davis on the WB show
One Tree Hill. Sam chuckled,
“Yeah…we sort of do…” That was what I have been afraid of…, Marlena told
herself as she sipped her coffee. I’m afraid that the only reason Jason is
with Sam is that he’s shoveling off his love for me to her…god I hope not,
She continued to think and stretched her arms. Sam looked at her watch and
stood up, “I need to get back to the Jet…maybe you should come back to Port
Charles and visit sometime.” “Sure…I’ll have to work my way around it…” Marlena
chuckled and waved goodbye to Sam as she left.
Returning home, there was a
load of cars in her driveway so she parked at the end of it. “Now what is going
on here?” She watched as people walked by here, chattering quietly and she
walked behind them. “Excuse me lasses…can ye tell me what be happenin’ here?”
Marlena used her fake Irish Accent to not let them know who she was.
“Apparently JR Chandler is holding a party for some girl named Marlena
Huffinton…” “That be so?” The girls nodded and moved up the path towards her
house, Marlena smirked. “Well now JR…holding a party in my house now are you?
Tsk-tsk.” She smirked and went in the house using the stairs that attached to
the balcony on one of the guest rooms and slipped inside. Setting her long
black jacket on the back of leather chair in her bedroom, she locked the door
behind her and moved towards her closet. “Well now…I’d never thought I’d say
this…but I may need this tonight.” Whom/what was she speaking to? An emergency
red button for her security system…she had a ton of “unwanted” guests in her
home. “Maybe next time JR should ask me first…I do hate surprises…” Lifting the
plastic box cover, she pressed the red button and a loud siren went off in the
house…Dorian woke up screaming and Anna rushed to his room. All the doors
downstairs slammed and locked shut; bars slid and slammed into place over the windows…the

Chapter Nine.
(…What can I say?...Nine Chapters already?...My word…!)
Marlena’s eyes narrowed gently
as she was looking at something, Dorian gave a squeal of delight from his
play-pen. “Yes I know honey…we have seven minutes left until our cab gets
here…” She picked him up and spun him around, “And then we’ll be on our way
back to Port Charles to see everyone!” Dorian squealed and hugged his mother,
he was happy as ever to go and see his daddy…and his relative family. A soft
knock came on the office door and she looked up at JR, “Ready to go?” “Yes I
am…” Dorian squealed and made grabby hands for JR who took him from Marlena as
they headed downstairs; yes indeed JR was going to Port Charles with them.
Pierce had put their bags into the trunk of the cab and bowed to Marlena, “Have
a wonderful trip Ma’am…we anxiously wait to hear all the news.” Marlena
snickered, “Thank you Pierce…you and the staff enjoy your time off while it
lasts.” Dorian waved goodbye to Pierce as the cab drove off towards the
airport, it was swimmingly easy to get through the security procedures since
she had all the proper information. “Stay here with Dorian…I need to get
something to eat.” JR nodded as Marlena walked towards one of the vending
machines and slid a dollar in to get a snack and then a drink. As they waited
for the plane to arrive, Dorian fell asleep in JR’s arms for the majority of
the time…they did have a baby seat (one that fits toddlers and then infants)
for the plane. On the flight over; Marlena quietly looked out of the window and
placed on hand on it. ‘Where’s a dementor when I need one?’ She made a
joke to herself about something that existed in the Harry Potter World. She
closed her eyes and rested back against her seat; Dorian’s little hand held one
of her’s and she smiled.
“We shall be there soon
sweetie…don’t worry.” She smiled as Dorian baby-talked to her and looked at JR
who was asleep. She snickered as Dorian placed his hand on one of JR’s and
watched him sleep. The plane landed in LaGuardia airport at 4:45 AM (since
their flight was sometime after 11 PM)…the long black limo that her sister-in-law
(Marlena has a brother…Jamison Patrick Huffinton who lives in the house next
door to the QuarterMaines…opposite Carly & Alcazar) Amanda had sent to get
them; the limo drove them to the house where Jamison greeted them and held his
nephew. “So…he’s really?” “Yes he is…Dorian is Jason’s son…” Jamison chuckled
as they headed upstairs towards the wing of the house that she was staying in.
“No one knows you’re here yet Marlena…” “They don’t?” “I am holding a gala
event tomorrow night at the
Around
Carly and Alcazar came on over
to where Marlena was, “Heya Carly.” Marlena hugged her and softly giggled.
“Some party huh? Jamison must have been the ‘wild’ child in the bunch. Hiya
Lorenzo.” “Hello Marlena.” “Yes it is Marlena…you were never the ‘partying’
type growing up.” “Yeah well…comes with the territory of my life I suppose.”
Dorian squealed as Jason and Sam came walking over, Marlena gulped and looked
at Dorian in silence. Dorian set his small hand against his mother and smiled
as if to tell her that it would be all right. Jamison and Amanda were watching
from across the room; Amanda turned to Jamison. “I’m going over there before
something happens…where is JR?” “Over there with Lucky talking to Monica and
Alan Quartermaine…” “More bad news…Reese and Sonny just came in…” “Not enough
fire power to go around…we need to get Marlena out of here…” “Maybe she’d rather face the problem head on?” Amanda
nodded and moved to sit at a table nearby to keep an eye on things. “Marlena!
When’d you get into town?” Sam walked over and hugged Marlena, Marlena returned
the hug. “Just yesterday…I suppose this was my brother’s way of letting
everyone know I’m in town.” “For how long?” “Three or four weeks at most…I
suppose this means we’d be able to spend sometime together.” Emily blinked at
Marlena, as did Carly…no one thought that Sam and Marlena would get along but
it looked that way. “Ahem…so anyway…who is that little fellow?” Sam bent down
to look at Dorian, Marlena chuckled. “That is my son, Sam…Dorian.” “He is so
adorable, Marlena…who’s his father?”
“Funny you should ask that…his
father died a few months before he was born actually. So I named him after my
father.” “I’m sorry…I’m sure he would have made a great father.” “You know
what? I think so just the same.” JR made his way over and slid one arm around
Marlena’s waist. “Oh, Sam I believe you haven’t met JR Chandler. JR this is a
friend of mine…one of many as you can tell from the crowd around me…Sam
McCall.” “Hi, pleased to meet you.” Sam shook JR’s hand, JR nodded. “The same.”
“I’m going to see if I can get someone to bring Dorian back home…he looks a
little tired.” “I’ll do it…” Marlena blinked as Sam said that, and then smiled.
“Okay then…my sister-in-law Amanda is over there…she can tell you where the
spare key is hidden and what room Dorian is sleeping in. Just make sure to come
back…hate to think you got lost in the house.” Sam chuckled as she lifted
Dorian up and went to speak with Amanda; Marlena exhaled deeply as Jason went with
Sam. ‘That was a close call.’ Marlena whispered to Emily, who nodded. Emily
(besides Jason, Jamison, and JR) was the only one who knew that Jason was
Dorian’s real father. “I need some air…I’ll be back…” Marlena excused herself
to go stand on the outside dining area and leaned against the railing. Lucky
came outside and stood next to her, “Something the matter?” “Possibly…see…I
lied about Dorian’s father.” “You did?” “Yes I did…he is infact very much
alive. Lucky…Jason is Dorian’s father.” Lucky was shocked when she told him
that, “Are you serious?” “Yes…if you look close enough…you’ll see that Dorian
has my eyes…but his face and hair is Jason’s.” “Does he know?” “Yes he does…but
I’d rather Sam never knew…it would be a lot safer all around.” Lucky nodded, “I
can understand that…but I get the feeling there’s something else upsetting
you.”
“You’re right…there is…I don’t
know what I want anymore. At one time I thought I knew that I wanted
Jason…but I tried my damnedest to not let myself fall for him again…and now I
have JR and I’m not sure if I want him either…being me is hell on high-heels.”
“Well… ‘hell on high-heels’ might be the right idea…” Lucky chuckled and
Marlena laughed. “I hate these damn things…I only wear them if I want to…I have
two pairs…black and white. The rest of my shoe apparel is sneakers, shoes, and
flats for work.” A waiter brought out some petite-fours and she took one.
“Strangely enough…I was a tomboy growing up and alls I had in my closet was
sneakers and a pair of fancy boots to wear with this one black and red dress
for special occasions.” “Oh really?” “Yes and I even took several pictures of
my closet before I left for college to remind me of my room at home.” “Did it
help any?” “Oh you betcha…I rarely went home…except for when my grandmother died.”
“Why then?” “My parents and Jamison went to the funeral and I stayed home.
They’d be turning over in their graves if they knew this…but I had a party the
night they left…the house was cleaned up before they got back.” Lucky blinked,
“And to think…from what you were saying inside.” “Oh um...well…you see…I had a
bit of a problem that night.” He raised a brow, “What happened?” “That’s a
funny story…depends on how you look at it though. I wasn’t drunk it just
happened. Lucky for me Emily walked in on us.” “What did she walk in on?”
“Jason and I making out. That’s why I stopped going to/having parties…I was
afraid it would happen again…or worse.” Emily walked outside, “I remember
that…she kept thanking me the next day after I helped her clean up.”
“Hey…I couldn’t help it…wasn’t my fault…it should have been. I didn’t know I
was that bad of a flirt.” “You didn’t know you were laying it on that hard,
Marlena.”
“You could have told me I
was.” “I think you were enjoying yourself…you just didn’t want to get yourself
in a spot that would make you hate yourself.” “You saved me…sort of.” Amanda
stepped outside, “Marlena…Sam and Jason have returned.” “Thanks Amanda.” Amanda
nodded and returned inside; Marlena sighed. “Why did my brother have to marry
such a stuffed shirt?” Lucky and Emily looked at her. “What? I don’t like her
but she makes him happy so therefore I have to fake caring what she thinks.”
“How did they meet?” “At one of those snobby upper-class tennis country clubs
that his law firm belongs to…her parents own the place and he is their
lawyer…enough said.” “Maybe you hate her because you’re not like that and
people who are make you mad?” “Good guessing there Lucky…I think that’s my
foundation reason…another is she snubbed me at my CIA introductory ceremony. So
I spilt my fruit punch on her white dress and told her to leave.” “You did
what?” “That was before I had her escorted out of the building…mind you
everyone was laughing when I did it…at her of course…even Jamison found it
funny.” “Your parents didn’t though…I remember. You had asked me to come.”
“Yes, they were quite upset with me but didn’t blame me when I explained why I
did that. This is why she is so hostile towards me.” “Marlena, we’re leaving.”
“Okay Carly…I’ll call you tomorrow and we can do something. Bye.” Marlena waved
as Carly went to leave with Alcazar and stretched. “I feel myself the need to
leave as well.” “You can.” “Thank you for that. Bye Emily, Bye Lucky.” “Bye
Marlena.” She went to get JR and they walked back to the house. “My feet…are killing
me…” She threw her heels off and into her luggage bag as she entered the
bedroom. “I’m so tired…” She slid out of the dress and rested it over the tall
chest of drawers as she slid on a long black shirt.
Chapter Ten
(“Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!”)
“Take a warm bath tomorrow
morning after you get up.” JR said as he pulled on his pajama pants and climbed
into bed; wrapping his arms around her. “Good idea.” She curled up against him
and fell asleep. While Jason and Sam were back at the penthouse; Jason sat down
on the couch and ran his hands through his hair. He had gone wandering
around the Huffinton estate as Sam put Dorian to bed and found Marlena’s old
bedroom…he suddenly remembered about the party she had one night…and the things
they had done. He now knew why she was so jumpy around him…he couldn’t blame
her anymore. Sam went up to bed and Jason followed as he thought about how
her room had never changed, except that Dorian’s baby crib was beside the
closet doors…it was just the same. I want to see the inside of that room
again…I need to…with her. Jason lay down beside Sam and wrapped his arms
around her as she went to sleep. The next day; Jamison and Amanda took JR out
to show him the area. Marlena stayed home since she didn’t feel well and when
she heard the doorbell ring it surprised her. Opening the door, she blinked as
Jason stepped inside. “I need to tell you something Marlena.” “O…okay. What is
it?” “When Sam and I brought Dorian home the other night…I wandered around and
I walked into your old bedroom…” “…You did?” Her heart thumped hard against her
rib cage; he moved closer to her and she didn’t step back as he brushed his
hand against the side of her face. She shivered lightly as he pulled her close,
“I want to see it again…with you…” He whispered against her neck and she led
him up the stairs towards her old bedroom. As she turned on the lights; she
looked around and saw the walls that had been painted black, the strobe light
that spun over-head, the glow-in-the-dark stars that were all over her ceiling
and walls, and she shut the door behind them.
He moved and turned off the
lights (while at the same time pressed her up against the door); she couldn’t
help but gently tense up by being so close to him. “The first time I remember
being in this room with you was the party you threw…” His hands gripped
her waist gently so that he didn’t harm her at all; he could tell she was very
stiff beneath him. “I’m not going to hurt you--” “I know that…I don’t
understand why I’m so tense around you…” “Yes, you do.” “What?” “You do
understand why you’re so tense around me.” Her face flushed and she felt her
cheeks and ears burning, “I do?” He nodded and brushed his hand against the
side of her neck, “You still love me.” “For the love of – I do –”
Shutting her up was easier than he thought; he pressed his mouth against her’s
as he held her to him. A low moan weaseled its way out of her throat as his
hands traveled down her back; she tried to push herself away…worried that
Amanda, Jamison, and JR would find them this way. “Don’t fight it,
Marlena…don’t…” “…there’s nothing to fight…I can’t…” Lifting her up, Jason
carried her over to the bed and removed his jacket (tossing it on the floor…);
his body pressed her’s against the mattress as his hands lifted up her shirt.
Whimpering softly, Marlena shifted under him as he calmly blew against her
skin, which caused an unfathomable tremble up and down her spine. Pulling her
up close to him, Jason removed her shirt and stared quietly at her chest.
Running his hands over her
skin, his jaw clenched as he was doing his best to pace himself. Marlena leaned
up and nipped at his neck; he groaned and gently gripped her hips. “That’s not
fair…” She smirked and hooked her thumbs under the waist of his jeans, “We’re
way past foreplay, Jason…always have been…” “I agree…” He smiled and slowly
undid the string that held her sweatpants; then tugged them down. Sliding his
thumb under the waist of her panties; with one solid tug he pulled them down
and off (and to the floor with her shirt, pants, and his jacket). After
removing his jeans and shirt; he wrapped her legs around him and slid into her.
His pace was slow and torturous; something she was used to by now…which should
be a clue as to how long it’s been on his/her mind…does it help to know
since she started high school ages ago? Probably not since Marlena is three
years younger than Jason. When they
were finished; Jason showered and left…a few minutes later, Amanda, Jamison,
and JR came back home. Marlena was upstairs in the bear-claw bath tub soaking
for a bit before she pulled on a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt and sat on the
bed to read the paper. She felt a slight difference; an actual calm between
herself and Jason…like she had the actual ability to move on if she so desired.
JR came upstairs and got into bed after she did; Marlena curled against
him…actually spooning as she rested her head against his back.
Jason returned to the
Penthouse and found Sam sound asleep on the settee (or “couch”); he carried her
up into the bedroom where he covered her with the top sheet as he changed his
clothes and climbed beside her.
