Chapter 1 As Ned sat at the bar of the Port Charles Grill, waiting for Alexis, he was thinking of everything that had been happening in his life. Finally after months of touring as Eddie Maine, L&B was taking off. He and Alexis were engaged and happier than ever. Everything was going great. All of a sudden he felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around too see Alexis standing behind him with a huge smile on her face. "Hey sweetheart." He said kissing her on the cheek. As they sat down at a nearby table Alexis said, "Hi. Sorry I was late. The jury took longer than expected." "That's all right. Did you win?" Ned asked as he poured them both a glass of wine. Smiling Alexis said "Yep. It was a little shaky for a while, but we pulled it off." All of a sudden they were interrupted by a call phone ringing. Alexis went to answer it, but was shocked to see it wasn't hers ringing. "Looks like it is you this time honey." She said smiling at Ned. Ned smiled back at her as he reached into his pocket and answered his phone. "Hello. Ned Ashton. Lois? Where are you? Port Charles?" Alexis looked up from her plate to see what was going on as Ned continued talking to his ex-wife. "What? Right now? Hang on." He put his hand over the phone as he looked over at Alexis. "It's Lois she is in town and she says she needs to see me." "Go Ned. There must be something going on. Go find out, I will be fine. I have some work to do anyway." "Are you sure?" Ned asked looking at Alexis with concern. "Yeah." Alexis said pushing a smile. Ned liped a thank you and then got back on the phone. "Lois? Yeah I will be there in like ten minutes. Okay bye." He turned his phone off and looked up again with a concerned look on his face. "Something is up. Alexis are you sure you are all right with this?" "Yep. Now go before I change my mind." She said smiling over at Ned. He got up from the table and put on his coat. Before he left he gave Alexis a kiss. "I love you sweetheart." "I love you too." With that Ned left the restaurant and Alexis was left to her dinner. |
