Chapter 5 "Lois what is this all about anyway? Are you really upset about everything you say or are you just upset to see me moving on after all these years?" "Ned I am shocked you would even think that of me. I am happy for you and Alexis. I just want to let you know that I still have feelings for you. I think that is only far. That way you will know for sure that you are over me and ready to move on with Alexis." Ned shook his head with disbelief. "Of course I am ready to move on. I love Alexis. I want to be with her." "Who are you trying to convince, me or yourself."? Lois said matter of factly. "You are so good at that. Taking peoples words and making them something completely different." Ned moved past Lois and got himself a drink of water. "Ned I love you, I always have and always will. I was stupid to walk out on you so many years ago. I was young and know I have grown-up. Please give me another chance." Lois said moving closer to Ned and taking his hand in hers. "Lois please. I am over you. I am moving on." Ned said taking his hand back. For awhile the two of them just sat in the Gatehouse not talking. Finally Lois looked up. "Alexis isn't your type at all. She works too much." "What?" Ned said confused. "How do you know what my 'type' is? And what is that old saying anyway? Opposites attract." Lois started laughing. "I am just saying that you two don't seem to...mesh well together." "Lois you are crazy. I love Alexis and no matter what you say or do I won't stop loving her. We are going to get married in like four months." "I thought you didn't have anything planned." "Well we have a date and everything. That is the big thing. Why am I telling you all this anyway? You are trying to break us up!" Ned said getting up from his sit. "I'm not trying to break you up. I just want to have a chance to have my family back. I think I deserve that, don't you?" Lois asked starting to get upset. "Lois you had your chance. I didn't want you to take our daughter and move to Brooklyn, you did that on your own. I tried to get you back, but you resisted. And finally we never were a family. You left before we could be." Ned said getting upset. "Ned. That is my point I left you. You wanted to be a family, I am letting you have that chance know." Lois said starting to cry. "I am going to have a family, with Alexis." Ned said in a stern voice. "Do you really think that you are over me Ned?" Lois asked. "Yes." Ned said calming down. "Then prove it to me. Kiss me and say you don't feel anything." Lois said moving in for the kill. "Lois that is nuts. I am not doing that." Ned got cut off by the touch of Lois' lips on his, they were kissing. All of a sudden the door opened and in walked Alexis and Brooke Lynn, back from their trip to the park. Ned pulled away from Lois just in time to see Alexis' face before she ran out the door again. "Alexis! Alexis come back!" Ned yelled. "Say you didn't feel anything Ned. Look me in the eyes and tell me you didn't feel what I felt when we kissed. Ned looked down at his daughter with a confused look on her face and then up at his ex-wife. "I didn't feel anything. All I feel is pain because I just hurt the woman I love. I have to go after her. I'm sorry Lois it is over." With that Ned was out the door. "Oh Ned you are so wrong. This isn't over until you and I are back together." Lois whispered to herself. |
