Michael reached his hand up to the section of his cheek that Paige kissed and rested his free hand on his chest. "Be still my heart," he teased. Paige shoved him playfully and Michael grinned before pulling her into a tight hug. "You know I missed you too." Once the pair parted Paige cut to the chase. Not that she wasn't overjoyed to see her best friend back in town, but Paige wanted to know if Michael was returning for good. "Well, don't turn in your resignation just yet Mob Queen." Michael would be lying if he claimed not to feel drawn back to the business. It was all he'd ever known and he was damn good at it. But Michael was a man of his word and he'd stepped down. Paige could pretend she was fine with a role reversal, but it was clear how well the power suited her. "I'm just tying up some loose ends." Michael wondered if Paige would ask about his reasons, but she seemed content not knowing all the details. That selfless nature was exactly why Michael had no problems confiding in his best friend. Paige had never once pushed him to his breaking point and Michael respected her for it. "I, I had to see Natalie and Caroline. I had to be sure everyone was better off without me...and they are."

OOC:Going to try and get to posts here tonight after work, its been a busy week.

Shiri S · 03-11-2009, 08:06 PM

OOC: More coming! Look at me, I'm on a roll

Hal stayed with Molly until she went to make her address. He stood there with a proud look on his face because he was glad to be apart of such an effect and he was proud of Molly for putting it all together. She was such an incrediable woman. If he hadn't been taught that love was weakness, he could see himself falling for her in her in another life time.

Another life time, of course, because Haldis Christianos Iepththae Cassadine didn't love anyone but himself. He was the most important person in his life but Molly was close behind. She was the only person he cared about other than himself. He knew his greatgrandmother was probably rolling around in her grave at the thought of him caring about someone. Not that that was any of his concern. She was dead, she didn't control him anymore. That was all there was to it.

After she was done speaking, he headed off to make a phone call. It may be bad manners to make a phone call while he was hosting a party at his house but it had to be made at this time for it to work. Exiting the ball room, he headed down the hall way, unaware that he was being followed. Unaware, that is, until about a minute later when he felt someone behind him. He decided to hold off on the phone call as he turned down a hall away, going the opposite way he was going.

With a quick look behind him to see if the woman was still following him, he quickly turned into a vacant room and waited for her. He opted not to turn the light on because it wouldn't work with the light on. Hiding in a darkspot in the room, he heard the woman say hello and just when she least suspected it, she chaged her and pushed her up against a wall. Once he had her in place where she couldn't go anywhere, he turned on the light and stared down at her with hard green eyes. "Mind telling me why you're following me, little girl?"

He stopped her hefore she could really walk away and she let out a sigh as she turned back to him. He wasn't going to let her go until he had his peice so for the moment, she was giving up and letting him have it. As much as she tried not to let it happen, her face soften as he went on about Cameran, Meredith and the baby. It was something she tried not to think about because she wanted to believe Cameran when he said he was staying away from her. But she couldn't help but now think that what Jack was saying could have some truth to it as well.

'My god Kristina you deserve so much more than that'. For some reason, she could hear her mother's voice saying that in her head even though Jack said it. She had been thinking about her mom alot and she knew that the woman would be on Jack's side. She would tell her everything that Jack was telling her and more. There was no way Alexis Davis would ever support her daughter being with a cheater, or a mobster for that matter. She would tear the man down every chance she got if she were still alive. That made denying Jack even harder. She felt like she wasn't doing what her mother would want her to and she hated that.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she listened to Jack go on about how he give her the world if she just gave him a chance. Her heart strings were really pulled on as she took in every word. It sounded magical, like a world she could only dream of with Cameran. He had never done any of those things with her. Sometimes, he did, sometimes he didn't but he was never consistant like Jack was speaking about. She could feel herself giving into him again as he rested his hands on her cheeks. Why was she so weak around him?

"I can't" She replied after a few moment of silence, her voice barely above a whisper. She leaned into his hands despite her words as she looked up at him with tear filled brown eyes. "As much as I care about you, I can't say yes. I'm with Cameran. I love Cameran. If it were another time and place, then I would be with you in a heart beat but it's not. It's right now and right now, I can't be with you Jack. What we did stopped doing a month ago, that can't happen again. I can't fall back into bed with you .. no matter how good it feels. This has to end. Please, go find someone more deserving of you. Someone who will love you and just you the way I wish I could" Like she was saying goodbye forever, she leaned up and gave him a soft sweet kiss that she held for much longer than she should have.

'Meredith listen'. She opened her mouth to tell him that she didn't want to listen but he went on before she could and sbe just sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. He began talking and all she could do was roll her eyes. She had already thought about everything he was talking about. She took into account that people could find out that she was carrying Cameran's baby even though a select few people knew and something could happen to her and that was something she was willing to risk to stay in town with her siblings. One needed her and she was trying to repair her relationship with and one she still needed to bond with. There was no way she could leave now.

'But if you don't think I can protect or keep you safe if the truth were to come out..than I think we need to start talking about where you should go'. "I'm not going anywhere whether the truth comes out or not. I've run away too many times already and this time I'm here for good. I'm not leaving my family again just to protect myself and my child" She told him in her usual stubborn voice with a shake of her head. She then said something she never thought she would with how things were between her and Cameran. "Protect me at all you want no matter what happens but I am not leaving, you got that?"

With that, she turned back around and headed towards the ballroom to find Lainey. She knew there was a chance that she wouldn't be able to find her because she was with her mystery man but she would try anyway. Though she didn't get too far because she heard arguing down the hall from where they were. Ever the curious one, she turned around and moved towards the sound. Peering around the corner, she raised an eyebrow when she saw Kristina and Jack in a pretty heavy moment. She was about to turn away because she really didn't care what their conversation was about but then she saw Kristina kiss him.

"Cam!" She yelled out in a quiet whisper knowing that he was still by her. He wasn't going to let their conversation go and she was willing to bet that he was right behind her. Looking back, she saw that he was and she made a motion for him to come over to her. She grabbed his arm and pulled him into a position where he could see the kiss. "Looks like your perfect little Kristina, isn't so perfect anymore"

Honestly,Jamie couldn't really say it surprised him when Constance showed up to interrupt him and Laura dancing.Sure,he lost seven years of his life,but in a way,he and Constance would always be the same.Recently,they had been slowly getting back to the place where they belonged...their old relationship.To tell the truth,it all started with Jamie letting go of his romantic love for Constance.Once he decided to do that,it was easier to get back to their place as best friends.It was better now though.He couldn't be with Constance in that way and so he had let go of it.That didn't mean he exactly supported her marriage to Chase.It would be a long time before he could do that.But he would never do anything to ruin her marriage and so he just had to accept that they were together.Besides,he had bigger things to deal with when it came to his romantic life.But it was best not to think of that.Laura reluctantly left his side,leaving a tender kiss on his cheek.He watched her go and then turned to look over at Constance.

"What's going on?"he asked her.He really did hope it was important.He and Laura were having a good time.For the first time,he was starting to see her as a grown up in her own right.And it was nice.Of course,he was also making himself actively not think of Ridley but that didn't take away from the fact that he was seeing Laura in a new and different light.Constance could be a bit of a drama queen...she always had been.She got it from her mother,Carly.Jamie had always been fascinated by the woman and seen her as a second mother,but she had definitely been...alot to handle.Constance got alot of qualities from her father as well but she was a reflection of her mother.That's just who she was.That's why they balanced each other out.But Jamie could tell this wasn't something like that.He could see it all over Constance's face.This was important and Jamie just wanted to know what was going on.

As long as it didn't have to do with Chase,Jamie was willing to help or do whatever she needed him to do.He might have let go of the dream of he and Constance,two kids,and a white picket fence,but she was still his best friend and he would do anything for her.Jamie would never give that up for the world.Ever since he woke up from that coma,he had started to reevaluate his life...what was important to him,who was important to him.Being a cop was important to him so he had gotten his old job back.Being a dad was important to him so he was starting some sort of new relationship with Laura.And Constance was important to him because regardless of what she had done in the past that hurt him,she was his best friend and Jamie couldn't hide from her.

Ryan smiled as Devon said she wasn't looking forward to him meeting her parents either.Half of them would like him while the other half wouldn't."Well then I better pull out some major extra charm when I meet them,"Ryan said with a small laugh.When he was with Devon,everything just seemed easier.He could believe that he was normal,that he could live a normal life...where things like meeting your girlfriend's parents were the biggest things you had to worry about.But deep down,Ryan knew he could never have that.His life was and would always be complicated.If he was smart,if he really cared about Devon,maybe he would let her go.He would let her go find a man who could give her the life she deserved.And yet...he couldn't do that.Before,it was just an infatuation.Before,it was just that she was beautiful and special.But now,he loved her and maybe that made him selfish,but he couldn't walk away.He just couldn't let go of a life with her.He loved one person in his life..that was his mother.But he lost his mother at a young age.He didn't want to lose Devon.He just couldn't see himself loving very many other people in this world.

As if Devon was inside his head,she asked if she would ever get to meet his parents.Ryan looked down,containing his emotion and then offered a small smile."I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.I know I don't really talk about my parents much...but..my mother,I really loved her and she loved me but she's....gone now.And my father? Let's just say you don't want to know him,"Ryan simply stated.AJ was scum.Ryan wished that AJ had never found out he was Ryan's father.Ryan could've just been raised by the old woman his mother had left him with.He would never have had to spend so many years with a selfish cold man who wanted him to be the son AJ could never raise.Ryan shook off the thoughts."But enough talk about that,this night is about us,right? It's a celebration!"Ryan announced.He grabbed a drink for himself and handed one to Devon,holding his up for a toast.

"Here's to us.Here's to the future...our future,"Ryan said,making his toast,as they clinked glasses.He glanced around the ballroom,looking for Kate.He already had the man who dressed like him,his double,ready for when he had to leave.He was just waiting on Kate.Part of him,just wanted to stay with Devon and never leave her side,block out the rest of the world.But then reality kicked in.His daughter was out there,robbed of the chance of knowing her father,stolen away from him by the person he hated most in this world...his half brother.He wouldn't let Michael take this from him,not his own flesh and blood.

As they started to dance Natalie’s allowed her eyes to roam the room. She smiled when she saw Logan and Leigha dancing and laughing. She was happy for them. After everything they went through with losing Tasha and then Logan getting shot, they deserved to be happy. Though at the same time she couldn’t help but be a little envious of what they got to have. Didn’t Michael and her deserve to have the happiness?..After everything?..Or was she just going to have to go on paying for her mistakes forever? They have what she use to have. Keywords being ‘use to’ That was never going to happen for her again. She was never going to have another love like that because what they had was rare..It was the kind of love that only comes around once in a lifetime.She had to come to terms with it no matter how badly it hurt…And it really,really hurt. It hurts losing what you want most. What Natalie wanted most hadn‘t changed. In fact it'd been the same dream for a long time now. She wanted Caroline, Michael and her to be a family like they before but he already made it clear that wouldn‘t happen. And his leaving the country without contacting her since only cemented everything he said about why they couldn’t be togethe and that he really meant it..

'Is everything alright?' Trent asked,taking Natalie by surprise. She was about to ask him what he meant when he elaborated and she realize he was referring to the call she received a couple minutes ago. "Oh. Yeah..Everything's fine." She assured him with a light nod.."That was Caroline's nanny before, she was just checking in.” Natalie explained not feeling the need to go into detail. A comfortable silence fell upon them while they danced to the rest of the song. When they finished she pulled back slightly, allowing her arms to fall back to her side.

“Thanks for the dance.” Natalie told him with a small smile. She was actually glad he convinced her to go. Even though she’s turned him down in the past including for this..At first anyways. After some convincing from a few fellow nurses the next time she saw him she told him she changed her mind and that if he still wanted her to come with him she would. At the time the truth was she was unsure about the entire thing, she only really went to get the girls off her back and they actually made some pretty convincing points on why she should go…So she came. And now she was glad she did it was almost refreshing in a way. It took her awhile but she realizes now that she had needed a night like tonight. “I’m going to go find another drink..Why don’t you find us a table?” Natalie suggested, noticing the table the were by before was now occupied. “I’ll be right back.” She told him with a small nod and smile before turning to walk away. However she didn’t get more than ten feet before she felt her right shoulder colliding with another body. Looking up she saw it was Logan’s girlfriend and that she had somehow caused her to spill her drink. “I’m sorry Leigha.” Natalie apologized putting her hand to her head. “Totally my fault.” She admitted with a small laugh. “Come on let me find you another drink.” She offered.Tag Leigha

He rolled his eyes as she scoffed at him, Well, that's for me to find out isn't it?' His sister asked. Sighing, Derek shook his head rubbing his forehead, frustrated. "I'm just trying to protect you." He whispered. Why did she have to be so difficult? Why couldn't she just trust him? Oh yeah that's right she hates him now. Why? He wasn't sure..But he would find out..And do whatever he could to fix it..If it's even possible. 'We met a month ago, I was walking with Maddie and she ran away from me and she bumped into Hal and we had a meal with him.' Derek thought for a moment he was hearing things. She didn't just say what he thinks she did..She met this guy with his daughter? His little girl?!? 'I can look after myself Derek...I'm not five. And I'm sick of you and our parents treating me as such.' Still reeling from what she just said, Derek could hardly think straight. All he could think about was the fact that his little girl was anywhere near Hal Cassadine, a man he'd only heard to be sketchy and dangerous. He just couldn't wrap his head around it. "If you insist on acting like a child, I'm going to treat you like!" Derek snapped back at her. Taking a deep breath he took a few moments to try and calm himself down knowing it wasn't entirely her fault..She couldn't have known Hal was dangerous. How could she? She didn't even believe him now when he told her. "Look I know you didn't know but damn it Serena..It's one thing to put yourself in dangerous situation which from what you say your obviously going to continue doing so despite what I've done, it's one thing for you to do that but don't you ever put my daughter in that position again. Do you understand me?" Derek asked in a voice that said he was dead serious and she better be listening. "I can’t stop you from seeing who you want to see. Your going to do what you want to do..But I do have a say in Maddie’s life, don’t ever go see him with her again..Is that clear?”

OOC:More coming tomorrow

Logan smiled while he danced with Leigha just content be there with her, holding her in his arms. That night a couple months back outside the Haunted Star scared him more than he ever admitted. He pretended as if it was no big deal and like he didn't almost get killed himself killed when it reality what happened changed everything. Before it was like he was on a warpath, almost like he wanted to punish himself..Because of what happened to Tasha and because of what almost could have happened that night with Gavin on the roof. He had all this guilt for not forgiving Tasha and for not being there to get her to the hospital sooner, thinking maybe that could have changed the outcome..And for Gavin the guilt was all about not seeing how badly his friend needed him sooner. He was preoccupied with his himself and his pain that he almost lost Gavin too. It just all piled up and became too much and it's what ultimately lead him to living so carelessly. But things were going to be different now. He promised Leigha and he promised Drake too and he was going to stand by his promises. Did that necessarily mean all the guilt just went away? No, of course not. The guilt was still there and it probably would be for a long time but he just realizes now there are still people here who need him. Leigha and Drake and Paige and Natalie. He doesn’t want to leave them that’s why he’ll be more careful now. Not for himself but for his family and friends…Maybe for himself a little bit because..He needs them too. Especially Leigha and Drake, his family. As the song ended Logan slowly pulled back at the same time as his angel. However before he had a chance to get a word in another voice beat him to the punch. That’s when he realized just who the voice belonged too. Turning, so he could get a look at him and make sure he wasn’t hearing things, Logan could hardly believe his eyes. It was Gavin..He was back.

“Gavin.” Logan exclaimed happily while his buddy removed his mask, jumping into a hug with his best friend. “I can’t believe you’re here this is great.” Logan laughed unable to hide his excitement. He was beyond relieved to see Gavin back home. He wasn’t naïve. He was very well aware of what Gavin went through and what he probably was still going through…He had a long road to overcome before things could get back to how they were but Logan was going to help him Whatever he needed, he can count on Logan and he really hopes he knows that. “So how are ya? You look great.” “He nodded, smiling as he looked from Gavin to Leigha. “Well not as great as me but you know.” Logan joked, knowing Gavin would probably rather he make light of things than go straight for the heavy stuff. He turned to Leigha to subtly tell her he needed a moment with his oldest friend. “Hey…Can you do me a favor and find my drink, I think it’s back on the table.” Logan asked knowing Leigha would understand. She’d read between the lines and realize he wanted to be alone with Gavin for a minute. She nodded and he smiled. “Thanks hun, I’m parched.” He thanked her, kissing her on the forehead before she walked away. He watched her for a moment or two before turning back to Gavin. “So your back?…Good because you’ve been missed man…And not by just me.” He admitted with a small laugh, referring to Audrey and Lainey. Patting him on the back a little as they began to walk, Logan laughed. “Wow…I have a lot to catch you up on.“ He told him not quite sure of where to start.

Kate smirked as he tossed his drink aside and wrapped his arms around her, glad to hear everything was going according to plan. "Good." She said allowing him to do as he pleased with his hands. She wasn't about complain but she wasn't going to let him have his way with her right then and there either. She had a more pressing matter and since it was tied to the vengeance she so desperately seeks, it was her first priority. Speaking of which, she needed to find Ryan soon. It was about time for them to get things moving. Kate smiled wickedly at the thought. Tonight was the night. Tonight she would take something that was Michael Corinthos’s and force him to come back..And then when the time was right she would finish him off herself. Taking the daughter he raised as his own would cut him off at the knees and that was only the first step. When Kate Valmont does revenge she does no do it halfass. No..She goes straight for the jugular. What made tonight even more perfect was what Tiago would be doing while she and Ryan and her were going after his daughter. Tiago knew exactly how to get a job done and she had no doubt he would do just that tonight. She trusted him to take care of things here while she took care of matters elsewhere. Both out of breath, Kate pulled back from the rough kiss at the same time as him. 'That was for good luck..' Tiago told her, giving her ass a little squeeze as he ravished her with his eyes. Kate grinned raising an eyebrow slightly. 'Not that you need it.' "Your right, I don't need it..But you might." She challenged looking him up and down a moment before taking a step back.

"Come on...There's a few things I want to make sure you handle." She said, meaning she wanted him to take care of this personally. There were a few people Kate wanted to make sure paid tonight and setting Tiago loose on them was about the worse thing she could do to them. Not that she felt bad in any way because honestly? Besides..These people deserved it. They should have known better than to insult a Valmont. Looking down on her, treating her like a slut, acting like she no threat at all. Well now they would see, they would know she's not someone that should be taken lightly. Messing with a Valmont is just plain stupid, at least the people back where she came from knew that and stayed out of her way. When they reached the ballroom she lurked in the shadows while her eyes searched the room for her main targets. Before too long she spotted Chase drinking a scotch near the main bar. He was looking good (as always), but that wouldn’t save him. He pissed her off and now after he loses one of his sisters or clingy little wifey he would find out she doesn’t make empty threats.

“You see that man over there?” Kate asked, going on when Tiago saw him too. “That’s Chase Alcazar and I want you to target his family. He has two sisters, a cop brother, and an annoying wife who I really really can’t stand. Watch out for his right hand man though, Cameran Smith is one of the best in the business.” Kate filled him in while searching around for those very people. Unfortunately his sisters were nowhere to be found but she did see his wife talking to that brother of his. “There’s his brother and wife.” She nodded over to them . “As for Michael…I think this goes without being said but everyone and anyone who matters to him…Have your pick, I’m already taking care of his most prized possession.” Kate finished, turning back around to face him. “You think you can handle that?…Because if you can do this for me without fucking it up.” She paused, her fingers curling around his tie. She tugged on it some to pull him a little closer. “.I’ll make it more than worth your while..Trust me” Kate promised in a low seductive whisper as she pressed her body against his. Before she could say or do anymore her cell phone ringing interrupted them.

Pulling away she kept her eyes locked on Tiago's as she answered. "This better be important." She said with clear annoyance in her tone. Her features changed when she heard what Dominique had to say. He was one of her best men and tonight she had him and a few others watching Corinthos territory for any oncoming shipments. There order was too blow up any shipment coming through but supposedly it wasn't Morgan's shipment coming through but Alcazar's. Kate smirked as she turned back around to look at Chase again. She had to hand it to him he was smart..He knew how to do this business well, just like her power is everything to him. He'd be nothing without it and truth be told the same could be said about Kate. 'Boss..Do you want us to let it be?" Dominique repeated his question snapping her from her thoughts. "Don't be ridiculous..I want you to blow it up." She said into the phone her eyes still watching Chase from across the room. The second she heard protesting on the other end she shook her head. "Do it now." Kate ordered, angryily flipping her phone closed.

OOC:More posts will come tomorrow after work sometime.

"Hey!" Audrey gasped when out of nowhere he charged her, pushing her up against the wall. She tried to break of his hold, struggling the entire time, but he was too strong. "Let go of me." She demanded but he did no such thing. Instead he turned on the light quieting her instantly when he looked down at her with cold green eyes. 'Mind telling me why you're following me, little girl.' Audrey stayed frozen in place, gulping slightly in fear. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea. When she comforted her parents they warned her away from him forbidding her from seeing her own they own blood. They wouldn't even let her go to this, if they knew she was here they would freak. She knew they were only trying to protect her buts she had to find out for herself. She was angry that they kept her brothers existence a secret from her and rightfully so but maybe she shouldn't have been so quick to rush into this either. "I..I wanted to meet you." Audrey finally replied while her eyes searched his for any emotion at all..Even a flicker would satisfy her. At the feeling of his grip on her loosening slightly she used that opportunity to push him back and move away from the wall.

"Do you always take such drastic measures every time somebody dares to follow you?" She asked daringly as she turned back around to face him. She wasn’t sure how to do this. Should she confront him and ask if he knows about her or should she take the other approach and try to figure it out for herself without revealing who she is. Looking at him though, the decision became easier. She just to know if he knew about her. “I’m not even suppose to be here..Because for some reason beyond me, my parents don’t want me to go anywhere near you but I had to..I just had to meet you for myself.” Audrey tried to explain. “Do you have any idea who I am?” She finally asked the question that was really on her mind. She just needed to know if he knew about her or if he’d been kept in the dark like she had been for so long. She was still angry at her parents for that not to mention the way they were acting like her even suggesting meeting her brother was so absurd. Why wouldn’t she want to meet him? She’s gone eighteen years of her life without knowing him. She didn’t even know he existed until a few weeks ago. And to think her parents would have just went on keeping this huge giant secret from her if she hadn’t overheard them.

OOC: Er, I decided to make a new character since my other like three characters aren't getting any play time. Hopefully this one will be a great one to play. Plus, I really wanted to use Marley Shelton

(I'm sure she isn't used already) If anyone wants anything with her, let me know, but don't also. I'm sure I'll agree to anything anyway

Name: Jade Beresford
Age: 27
Bio: Jade had a pretty upbeat childhood. She was the middle child of three and even though she got picked on sometimes by her brothers, she managed to just cruise through life. She got good grades in school and was even in the cheerleading squad and social chair. One would say she was a popular girl, but because of her brothers and the way they were overprotective (yes, even her younger brother was!), boys wanted to go near her, but they couldn't. Because of this, she began to do even better in school and once she graduated (with honors), she went to college and studied Pre-Med. She had always wanted to be a doctor, and since some women became nurses, she thought she would be unique and be like all the other female doctors out there. After four years, she went to Harvard Medical School, where she decided her specialty would be Cardiology. There's just something about fixing someone's heart that makes her really happy. Maybe it's the fact that if she can't fix her own heart, metaphorically speaking, then she'll just know that she fixed someone elses. She's always been unlucky in the love department because of her brothers, and also because she's self conscious. After living and taking residency in Boston, she decided to transfer to Port Charles, as she heard their hospital is just as good.
PB: Marley Shelton
TB: kiss and tell

My post coming soon for Serenity

Serena has heard it so many times. Everyone's trying to protect her. Her parents sent her off so they could protect her. She would have done so much better at home anyway. Who cares about the drugs and the wrist cutting? She sure didn't. She shrugged at that and didn't really say any much else. There was an awkward silence and then he spoke again.
"If you insist on acting like a child, I'm going to treat you like!"
Well, that's rich coming from him. Serenity wasn't immature and she was damned if she was going to let Derek make her feel like it.
"Boo hoo, I guess I should just go and cry now," she replied sarcastically. Of course, she had a smug look on her face. She didn't want to have this conversation with him now and here of all places. It was something for home time. "Look I know you didn't know but damn it Serena..It's one thing to put yourself in dangerous situation which from what you say your obviously going to continue doing so despite what I've done, it's one thing for you to do that but don't you ever put my daughter in that position again. Do you understand me? I can’t stop you from seeing who you want to see. Your going to do what you want to do..But I do have a say in Maddie’s life, don’t ever go see him with her again..Is that clear?”
Serena looked at him for a moment. She wasn't planning on taking Maddie out to see him again. The first time was an accident. That was all. "FYI, I wasn't planning on it, so yes, it's crystal clear. Happy?"

OOC: Cat, I love her! Too bad she's from far away/didn't have luck with boys because I've always been looking for someone who was Michael's serious girlfriend in school (the one that got away). Awhile back I had someone who was going to play her but then they got too busy. Regardless, she's awesome!

OOC: New face for Paige! She is now Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Ash go ahead and put that link in the first post

More coming!

'Well, don't turn in your resignation just yet Mob Queen'. "I thought that might be your answer" She nodded her head a little bit at that as she shifted her weight from one foot to the other. If she could, she would take her heels off and run around bare foot. She aboslutely hated wearing heels because she felt like such a giant when she wore them. She was already tall enough without them. Sometimes she hated being tall and she wanted to be short like Devon and other times she loved being tall. It really just depended on her mood.

Everything always depended on her mood. She went on emotion alot like her mother did. She could pretend she was stone wall like her father but everyone who knew her, knew she was just like her mother. She appeared to be tough and fearless, but she was much more than that deep down. Michael knew that better than anyone. He was the only one that knew the real her, the only one she ever let in completely. Tommy could be put on that list, but considering that she could never be honest with him about her job and she was hiding personal things from him, he didn't have a place. Michael was the only one on it and she had a feeling it would always stay that way.

'I'm just tying up some loose ends'. She didn't really have to ask what his loose ends were to guess what they were. It wasn't a need to know that she know what his loose ends were so she didn't ask. She wasn't even that curious as to what they were. She knew he would tell her if he wanted to but unil then, she wasn't going to pry. It wasn't in her nature. 'I, I had to see Natalie and Caroline. I had to be sure everyone was better off without me...and they are'. "I'm not better off without you" She told him with a bit of a pout. They've known each other for a long time and this was the longest they had been seperated. She would be lieing if she said thath him being gone didn't effect her. She needed him around her like she needed the air she breathed. It would kill her if he left agian and never came back. It really would.

"Have any luck finding Uncle AJ?" She wondered, asking the question that had been on her mind since she saw he was back. She had always been extremely curious about her Uncle ever since her father told her about him. The conversation steamed from a time when she was looking through a photoalbum and she saw a picture of a man she didn't know with her father and the rest of the Quartermains, who she knew were her family somehow. It was a good conversation for the two of them to have because she found out a little more about her father that day. She loved days like that.

OOC: It's alright Cat. I might take you up on that offer down the road, but for now Michael's good where he's at with relationship drama.

Michael released a gentle laugh when Paige told him she wasn't better off without him. It was clear by her expression that she wanted him back home. When they were teenagers, Paige would swear she'd walk away from Port Charles the second it was legal to be on her own. Michael, despite turning eighteen before her, pledged to wait and they'd go together. Both of them knew it'd never happen. Everything about the mob was in their blood and their loyalty prohibited a clean getaway. When Paige pouted Michael almost agreed to stay. Almost. Without the business or a family nothing could keep him here, not even his best friend. If Paige needed Michael he would always have her back, but she was the one with the power now and she was happy with Tommy. Intruding on that seemed selfish. Michael was a lot of things, but selfish was not on that list. "I'm glad you're not throwing a going away party, but you can take care of yourself Morgan." When Paige inquired about AJ's whereabouts Michael grunted in response. He hated his biological father more than anyone. His mission to find him was not one of reconciliation, but of pure revenge. Michael wanted the bastard to pay for the destructive mess he left behind.

"He's under an alias, I'm sure of it." Michael had followed a few leads during his months away but dead ends had arised. "And he's not working alone. I'll find him and when I do..." Michael's fists tightened and he exhaled, careful not to let his anger consume him. Michael had a temper that surpassed even Sonny Corinthos himself. Paige had helped him keep it in check throughout their adolescence, and being a father to Caroline had softened him but underneath the surface there was rage down deep inside the former mob boss that no one dared to awaken. "You look lovely by the way. Using your charms to cheat at poker I presume." Michael had taken Paige with him whenever he went to Jake's to gamble against the football team throughout all four years of high school. Their were advantages to having a con artist best friend. Half the team was too busy looking down her shirt to notice Michael counting cards, and the other half were skunk drunk. It was the perfect set up. "Tommy hasn't gotten jealous yet, has he?"

'Fine, you can have him. Come find me after your done.' Constance smiled at her cousin glad she wasn't too upset. She realized she had interrupted what looked to be a moment between the two but what she needed to talk to Jamie about was more important right now. Giving them a moment to say their goodbyes, she looked around for her husband and soon spotted him across the room near the bar. When she caught his gaze she put two fingers up as a way of telling him to give her a couple minutes. She looked back to Jamie just as Laura walked away from them. 'What's going on?' He asked and Constance frowned slightly, trying to think of the best way to approach the subject of his mother. It'd probably be better if they weren't around so many people. "Come on..Walk with me." She told him, taking his arm as she walked with him. "You know that you can count on me right? That you can talk to me about anything no matter what..Always." Constance told him stopping when they were out of the ballroom. He nodded and she let out a quiet sigh, turning to face him. "Then why didn't you tell me?" She asked softly while her eyes searched his for answers. Didn’t he feel like he could come to her about this?

"I know about your mother Jamie, I know she's alive. I saw her..I talked to her," Constance explained. Reese was vague about how much Jamie knew. She said she talked to him on that party on the Haunted Star a couple months back and that wall. Constance had no idea if she'd seen him any other times or if he knew more than she did about why she was seemingly in hiding. Reaching forward she wrapped her arms around Jamie pulling him into a hug. "I can't believe she's here..She’s alive Jamie, she‘s really alive." She exclaimed with a small happy laugh, wanting him to know how happy she was Reese was here and alive. It was true she all these questions swarming around in her head about why Reese was hiding and why she couldn't be there for her son..But that didn't make her any less happy over the fact that Jamie's mother, a woman she highly admired and always loved like her own mother, was really alive. She wanted to know the details, like why and how they faked her death and just everything but it wasn't exactly her place to know that..It was Jamie's though, he deserved to know everything..He's her son! “..How are you handling all this?" Constance asked after pulling back a little. She wasn't sure if he was confiding in Ridley now or someone else but it made her a little sad that he didn't come to her about this. He's known for months..And he knows how much she loves Reese and he had to know how much she would have wanted to know. They've always been able to tell each other anything..She had been more than surprised when Reese told her Jamie already knew. She wasn't mad she just really hopes he knows how much he matters to her and that no matter what's going she is always, always here for him. “I mean..Do you want to talk about it?”

He watched as tears welled up in her eyes. It wasn't his intention to make her cry. He just wanted her to pick him..He wanted her to give him a chance. Resting his hands down on her cheeks Jack gently wiped her tears away. 'I can't.' He shook his head 'no'. "Don't say that.." He whispered in disbelief. "You can Kristina. You could be happy with me..I know I could make you happy." Jack tried to convince her his eyes pleading with her to say yes. That's all she had to do. This was their shot one shot and he needed her to take it.'As much as I care about you, I can't say yes. I'm with Cameran. I love Cameran. If it were another time and place, then I would be with you in a heart beat but it's not. It's right now and right now, I can't be with you Jack. What we did stopped doing a month ago, that can't happen again. I can't fall back into bed with you .. no matter how good it feels. This has to end. Please, go find someone more deserving of you. Someone who will love you and just you the way I wish I could.'

He knew this was coming. Cameran..It was always about Cameran. Why couldn't she see him for the scum he was? Why was so blinded by that bastard? "I can't...I won't." Jack whispered to her just before she leaned up and captured his lips. Although her tender kiss took him by surprise it didn't take long for him to respond. Wrapping his arms around her he kissed her in a needy way not sure when he'd be able to taste her lips again, if ever. After a few moments, when they were both out of breath, Jack slowly pulled back from the kiss. “Kristina don’t..” He kissed her temple, closing his eyes as he pulled her into a tight hug. “Don’t leave me.” He whispered, opening his eyes again. That was when he saw Cameran. What the hell how long had he been standing there?..And Meredith?…She did this. She had to have. Pulling back from the hug he watched Kristina as she turned to see what caught his attention.

Before he had the chance to say anything Cameran was in his face and had him by the collar within seconds. “Let go of me.” Jack sneered through gritted teeth. He scoffed at Cameran’s comment not surprised when he forcefully pushed him towards where Meredith was. He looked to Kristina needing to make sure it was okay for him to leave. He didn’t want to. He wanted to stay and tell Cameran to back the hell off. He wanted to protect. But from the look on her face and the little nod and smile she gave him he knew she didn’t want him to. Tearing his eyes away from his brunette angel Jack ushered Meredith away from the unhappy couple. Once they rounded the corner he somewhat grabbed her arm. “What the hell is your problem? Why did you do that?” Jack asked in a demanding voice. A part of him was glad Cameran knew because it meant Kristina would need him now. There was no way Cameran would stay with her after this. But he hadn’t wanted it to happen this way…He wanted her to come on her own which he truly believed she would have done just that given a little more time.Tag Meredith

Before Cameran could get so much as a word in Meredith walked off. More than likely because she knew he'd follow her. She knew him well. Sighing, he ran his hand over his face. What other choice did he have? He wasn't done talking to her yet. Since when did she suddenly decide she was staying in Port Charles? He wasn't mad..Maybe he was even secretly happy she was sticking around..He was just confused. Ever since that first day he saw her in the hospital when she came back to town months ago she was dead set again staying in Port Charles. It was before he came to terms with things and realized the best way to keep his child safe was to stay away so at the time he was all about being in his child's life and not letting her keep him from her. He even threatened to take her to court if she insisted on being so stubborn. Granted it was an empty threat but the point is he was all about being a part of his child’s life and she made it clear she wasn't sticking around long enough to let that happen.

And now all of a sudden she's staying in Port Charles? What was with the sudden change of heart? Did it have anything to do with him? Six weeks ago or so they were on the docks of the Haunted Star and she kissed him. It was probably just because she was scared something was going to happen to him or something but still, she kissed him. He never told Kristina because he didn't see the point. She would overreact and accuse him of cheating when that wasn't how it went down at all. He hadn't cheated on her once since they been married and he wasn't going to. Meredith kissed him that night and it wasn't like he kissed her back..Well not entirely. He was caught off guard by it but he didn't think it meant anything. Kristina was the woman he wanted to be with, she's the woman he loves. He cares about Meredith so much and he does love her in a different way it wasn't more or less than Kristina just different. She's the mother of his child he's always going to care about her but he made a promise to Kristina and he wasn't going to break it..Not for anything.

Looking around the main foyer he tried to find both Meredith and Kristina, unsure of where his wife took off too. It was then that he heard Mere's voice. That was surprising, he thought he was going to have to find her but she seeked him out. 'Cam!' She yelled in a quiet whisper. His eyes found her quickly..She wasn't far away at all. When she signaled him over he didn't hesitate. The second he reached her she grabbed his arm pushing him one way. “What…What is it?” Cameran laughed wondering what she was so eager to show him. Shaking his head he finally looked where she was pointing completely unprepared for what he would see. His face fell and for a moment he could almost swear his heart dropped out of his chest. Kristina was kissing Jack..Kristina was kissing his enemy behind his back again. As he watched his nemesis hug his wife, telling her not leave him he curled his fingers in fists of rage. How could she do this to him….Again? How could she touch him after everything?!? 'Looks like your perfect little Kristina, isn't so perfect anymore.' Cameran looked at Meredith his eyes cold and hollow. "Get out of here...Leave!" He yelled the last word when she didn't go right away, loud enough to catch his cheating wife’s attention. He marched over to them and immediately grabbed Jack by his collar.

"You'll leave too if you know what’s good for you." He said through gritted teeth before forcefully letting go, causing Jack to stumble over to where Meredith was. His anger only grew as he watched Foster looking at Kristina as he walked away. When they finally turned the corner Cameran turned to look at Kristina. "Mind telling me what the hell that was I just saw?" He yelled unable to control his anger. He was hurt and pissed..Who wouldn't be? Jack was a snake...She saw how furious he was the last time they slept together..How hard it was for him to forgive her..How could she want to ever go near him after that, after he almost destroyed everything! Cameran didn't understand. “You know Krissy..It’s not that you never lied to me before. But every other time I can think of it was because you were trying to protect me because you loved me…What’s going on Kristina?” Cameran asked with a hint of worry masked behind his serious tone. As he watched her struggle to speak he shook his head. “I’m owed the truth..If you have any respect for me at all, you’ll tell me the truth about you and Jack.” His dark eyes searched hers desperate for answers. “Tell me."Tag Kristina

OOC: Tommy and Derek to be coming.

OOC: Just wanted to say...my posts are coming tonight...I'm just working on something at the moment

DreamOn777 · 03-15-2009, 10:25 PM

Jamie honestly had no idea for the life of him what Constance had to talk to him about.Things had been relatively good and although he didn't actively pay attention to her and Chase together,things to have been going well with them.So what was up that she seemed so concerned? And then she said it. "I know about your mother Jamie, I know she's alive. I saw her..I talked to her." Jamie stopped in his tracks,blocking out the outside world for a moment.It was like time slowed down.He couldn't believe her words at first but he continued to listen.She was shocked,shocked that his mother was really alive.As she reached over to hug him,he allowed her to,without moving a muscle.He suddenly felt like his mind was racing and empty all at the same time.

As she let go,he looked at her straight in the eyes.She didn't know why he didn't tell her.She wanted to know what had happened.It was crazy because what happened at the Haunted Star...Jamie had been going over and over it in his mind but had managed to convince himself it never happened...because if it did,then he was going out of his mind.But here was Constance telling him he wasn't."You...you saw her too?"was all Jamie could manage to get out.Constance nodded and Jamie looked away,running his hand over his forehead for some time before saying anything else,before explaining to Constance what had happened,like he had wanted to after it happened."At the reopening of the Haunted Star...I...saw her across the room.I just...ran after her and it was like she didn't want to be caught by me.She said my name the same way I remember her saying it and then she told me I couldn't say anything,that it was dangerous for her to be seen there,with me.And then she was gone,"Jamie started,remembering the incident that had happened.He took a moment to collect himself before going on,looking back over at Constance,"I wanted to tell you...I just,I thought I had to be crazy.I know you all told me she was dead and...I saw her grave and I figured if I allowed myself to really believe it then I would going out of my mind.I mean...how can she be alive? I don't know.Did she say anything to you?"

He wanted to tell Constance from the beginning.Sure,they had their issues but she was his best friend still and she was the only one who understood how he felt about his mother.Jamie still wasn't talking to Chase and even if he was,he knew Chase and his mother had never gotten along.Jamie remembered so many times long ago,he had tried to get them to get along but it never happened.And Laura was too young to really know his mother well.Ridley didn't even known his mother.And his father? Jamie hadn't talked to his father since he found out what happened with his mother's death....although now he didn't even know how to think of that...because she hadn't died,she wasn't dead.She was alive.And it made Jamie's heart swell and his head spin all at the same time.

Leigha was happy to let Gavin and Logan catch up.Logan seemed so happy to see him and Leigha knew he was.Even after everything that had happened to them after Tasha's death,Leigha knew they were always best friends and Logan had also told her how worried he was about Gavin and what had happened the night before Gavin left town.Initially,when Leigha and Logan before got together,Leigha hadn't thought much of Gavin.She thought he was just a stuck up snobby popular mob prince.But as she had gotten to know Gavin and as he had dated Audrey,Leigha realized she had been wrong about him.They weren't quite friends but they were on good terms.They both loved Logan and they both knew how much Logan needed the other.Leigha knew that Gavin had always supported Logan and Tasha but she honestly believed he realized her place in Logan's life and supported the two of them together.

Just as Leigha went to go pick up a drink for Logan,she felt someone bump into her and the drink spilled.Luckily,most of it missed her dress...which was good because Ridley had made it for her and would probably kill her if it got destroyed,but as Leigha looked up she was met with the sight of Natalie and offered a small smile."Don't sweat it.The dress is safe,"she replied with a small laugh as Natalie led her over to the bar that was set up to get another drink.It reminded Leigha that she had wanted to talk to Natalie.Leigha was a bit...ok,alot....in awe,intimidated by Natalie.She was this strong woman who definitely had a fierce personality.You kind of had to be to be with a mob boss.And she meant alot to Logan too.Leigha and Natalie had always been on fine terms...just fine.But Leigha had some questions for her now.And she had contemplated just not asking them but she wanted to and she wasn't sure who else would understand.She knew that Michael was not in Port Charles and things seemed to have ended with him and Natalie but she knew what Leigha was going through better than anyone.As Natalie handed Leigha new drink,Leigha thanked her and then took a deep breath,looking at the older woman.

"Hey...I was just wondering...um,if I could ask you something.It's personal and it's totally fine if you don't want to answer it.I just thought...,"Leigha started.Natalie looked her straight on,as if she was asking her to just get out her question already.Leigha nodded,taking a small sip from Logan's drink before continuing,"So you know Logan has been...getting into the business more lately...and I guess I just sort of glazed over it until what happened at the time of the Haunted Star reopening..with the shooting and everything.And I just...how did you deal with it? I mean,you and Michael were together for awhile.How did you deal with him doing something that could take him away from you at any minute?"

Gavin was happy to see Logan again.He had been so shut off from Port Charles for three months...but more than that,he felt like it had been ages since he had just felt like himself around the people he cared about.He had alot to work on of course but it felt nice to finally feel some strange sense of normal.He didn't care if it had to do with him being on drugs and going to weekly therapy.It didn't mean that he valued it any less.Logan told him that he looked great,though not as good as he did and Gavin couldn't help but laugh.It was good seeing Logan like this.It looked like alot had changed with Logan as well since he had been gone.They would never get over Tasha's death or forget about her but Logan looked different.He looked like he had finally decided to move on from it.Gavin was glad.Just as Gavin had been going through alot before he went away,Logan had been going through alot as well.Logan looked over at Leigha and asked her to get him something to drink which Gavin knew meant he just wanted a boy's moment.

"So that's still going on? I thought maybe she wised up finally and found a supermodel instead,"Gavin teased.It was good that Logan was still with Leigha.Gavin hadn't had faith in them in the beginning.He thought they were too different.It had always been Tasha and Logan to him.Leigha didn't fit in.But alot had changed since then.Leigha was good for Logan.She made him happy.And no matter what,they seemed to always come back to each other.Honestly,he hoped somehow that would be him and Audrey but he didn't know.Logan and Leigha had something special.They were like some mini supercouple,though the thought made Gavin laugh.Somehow,you had this feeling that even if the worst happened with them,they'd still find a way back together.Her having HIV and him having a baby with another woman hadn't broken them apart.What really could? Logan went on to tell him that he had been missed and Gavin could read into what Logan was saying.He knew about Audrey,how much she'd missed him,but he didn't feel like getting into that right now with Logan.They'd talk later.For the moment,he wanted to just catch up...look at the positives.Gavin hadn't even seen Lainey yet.He hated how he had last seen her.He had been a mess,throwing bottles around.But he figured he would see her eventually...maybe apologize for what he'd done,how he had treated her.Logan smiled slyly and said that he had missed alot though Gavin knew more than Logan thought.

"I'm sure...although I did hear about a certain tough guy getting shot while dealing with my brother's business?"he replied.Logan looked surprised that he knew and Gavin explained,"I tried to separate myself from Port Charles completely at the center...but my mom came to see me alot and thought I'd want to know.You know she's always like you." Brenda had told Gavin because she thought he should know.She knew Gavin and Logan were best friends and she just thought it was good to tell him."So how are you feeling now? I couldn't believe when I heard.You're all grown up,Rambo,"Gavin teased slightly.He knew it was probably pretty serious but he wanted to keep things positive and he was sure that Logan,after all that had happened,wanted to as well.
