This is a collaboration effort between me (Ayshen) and Lou (Babiiechica2008) So enjoy.
Disclaimer: Even with the two of us we still don't own it…yet. So obviously we aren't trying hard enough but when we finally do succeed in running General Hospital we will let you know! So for the time being...no suing.
Courtney Matthews: 21, sister of Emily. Just graduated college…moving back home to help plan sister's wedding.
Emily Matthews: 24, sister of Courtney. Engaged to be married to Nikolas Cassadine.
Nikolas Cassadine: 26, President and CEO of Cassadine Industries. Engaged to Emily Matthews.
Courtney Matthews sat on the plane excited...after four years of college she was finally going home. Her new home would be Port Charles, New York where her sister Emily lived and a new job was waiting for her come Monday. If she had missed anything it was Emily; they were more than sisters...they were best friends. And now Emily was getting married and Courtney wanted to be there every step of the way. As she walked out into the terminal she had expected to see her sister, instead a short brunette greeted her.
"Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I'm Elizabeth or Liz, Emily's good friend. She tried calling before you left for your flight but she never got in touch with you. She had to go to New York City for the weekend on short notice but she sent me to pick you up and to tell you that she will see you on Monday when she gets back and if you need anything or have a problem to just call her. Better yet call me." Elizabeth Webber said as the blonde just smiled at her.
Courtney smiled a little sad that Emily had to go, but made chit chat until Elizabeth dropped her off at Kelly's where her room was. She put her clothes in the little dresser, took a shower and then began to brush her hair. She determined the night was still young and decided to venture out. She flipped open the phone book when she ran across the name "Jakes" under bars…she might as well have fun before Monday.
She quickly skimmed her itty bitty closet and her dresser drawers before she picked a pair of skin tight blue jeans and black tiny tank top. She put it on and called the taxi cab while she did her hair. She wasn't going to waste a moment meeting a guy. It had been so long since she's had a real relationship and she wasn't looking for commitment anyway; that was all her sister. She was still young and didn't want to be tied down and figured, "what's wrong with having a little fun anyway?" She got into the cab and caught the driver's eye.
"Where are we headed to tonight miss? You must be new in town." he said looking in his mirror.
"Yes I am and to a place called Jakes. By the way I'm Courtney." she said looking at him.
"Dillon." he replied.
"You look mighty young." She replied.
"17. I'm saving money. I wanna be a director one day." he said looking at her.
The rest of the ride was silent until they reached a bar.
"Thanks you. Here is the money I owe you plus a tip to help with becoming a director." she said handing him an extra twenty.
"Thanks but you don't have too." he said trying to hand it back.
"Keep it!" She said before shutting the door and walking into the bar.
As she walked into the dark bar she quickly scanned the occupants. At a table there was a tall blond woman sitting laughing with a blue eyed man drinking Mexican beer. The man was cute but when Courtney shot a look his way the blond woman gave her the "off limits" look. So instead she spun her attention to the bar. There was a smarmy looking bartender who looked as if he stepped out of a 70's porn movie…but sitting in front of him nursing a martini was perhaps the most gorgeous man she had laid her eyes on.
She gave a devious smile and made her way over to the bar and sat just one seat away from him. He looked over at her as she looked back at him. He shot her a smile and she reciprocated. The bartender was nodding his head and had a creepy smile on his face.
"Coleman, anything that lady wants put it on my tab" the man said looking at the bartender.
"Aww how sweet but I have my own money." Courtney responded to him.
"I know that. I don't have a doubt in the world but I'm just trying to be a gentlemen here." he said as she smiled.
"Am I ruining your game?" She asked with laughter.
"Just a little, why don't you come sit next to me?" he asked her.
"Why don't you come sit next to me?" She asked him all flirtatiously.
"Okay." he said as he scooted down on bar seat.
"Hi." he said once he got repositioned.
"Hi" was all she replied as an awkward silence came over before the bartender broke it.
"What came I get you to drink beautiful?" he asked her.
"Um coke and rum?" she stated.
"Sure thing." he replied walking away to get her drink.
"You new in town huh?" the dark haired man asked her.
"Yup. You seem like a regular here though." she replied.
"No not really. Well not as much as I use too. I don't have much time anymore." he said as she laughed.
"Well everybody needs time to themselves once in a while." she said as her drink was placed in front of her and she took a big gulp of it.
Three drinks later and an insane amount of flirting she was starting to get a buzz and without thinking she pulled him into a kiss. He didn't pull away but kissed her back intensely instead. He slowly broke away when air was needed. She couldn't believe she just did that. She smiled the same devious smile she had earlier and he smiled back knowing exactly what the look meant.
"I have one condition." he said looking into her baby blue eyes.
"What's that?" she said softly.
"No names." he responded.
"Deal." she said before he kissed her again.
This time he could feel the electricity pass between their skins. He touched the taut skin of her belly and realized there were much too many articles of clothing separating them. He hardly knew this girl, but he knew he had to have her. So he broke the kiss and took her by the hand to the stairwell leading upstairs asking her to wait a second. She bit her lip and waited half wanting to run but knowing her legs wouldn't let her.
"Coleman, I need a room" he said breathless.
The man gave him the arched eyebrow but said nothing as he handed him a lone key. He snatched it out his hand and ran back to the beauty that was waiting. He saw her smile sexily at him, and once again his mouth crashed upon hers. He grabbed under her butt and wrapped her long legs around his waist and carried her up the stairs never breaking their kiss. When he came to the door he fumbled with the key and when it finally opened his shirt was already half off and her pants unbuttoned. He threw her on the bed softly and stood over her pulling his shirt fully off.
She rolled over and stretched her arms out. She felt a body. It took her a minute as she sat up and noticed the gorgeous man that lay beside her naked to figure out why they were they and how they got there. Last night replayed and her head as she smiled. "Boy was it fun night" she thought. When she asked for fun she never would have thought she would've been given as much as she got last night. He slowly opened his eyes before rolling over and looking at her. She sunk back down into the covers and looked at him with the same smile from the night before.
"Good morning beautiful." he said softly.
"Good morning gorgeous." she replied a minute later.
She remembered they had never exchanged names and probably weren't going to but something did seem mysterious…but she pushed that to the back of her head.
"How was your night?" he asked her. "Fun I hope." he finished with his beautiful smile.
"More then I bargained for but I'm not complaining." she said looking into his eyes.
"Yours?" she asked him.
"No complaints over here if that's what you are asking. I must have done something right because all I went for was a drink and yet I got so much more." he said as she laughed a little.
She kissed him…he just looked too cute laying there with that grin on his face. The kissing intensified, but he pulled away.
"I have to take a shower" he told her which made her sad until he finished, "want to join me."
Two hours later they parted ways at the door of Jake's. She saw him jump into his car and she called a taxi despite his offer of a ride. When she arrived back at Kelly's her cell phone was blinking on the bed. She called her voicemail and heard the familiar sound of her sister's voice.
"Hey you…I am sure you are out having tons of fun without me…I'm sorry I had to leave on your first weekend back…I fly back in on Monday morning and I promise I will make it up, okay.
She smiled; she couldn't wait to tell her sister about the delicious man she had fun with.
Monday morning had come entirely too soon and she stood at the door to Cassadine Enterprises. She felt the butterflies in her stomach as she smoothed her pinstriped skirt and walked in. She was to meet with the President and assume responsibilities as his executive assistant.
She walked in and stepped on the elevator and hit the top floor button. It seemed like she was on that elevator for ever but she was kind of happy because she didn't know if her boss was going to be mean or what. Boy did she hope not. She stepped off the elevator and saw a nice old lady step out of the office.
"You must be Ms. Matthews." the lady said.
"Courtney please." she replied as she shook the lady's hand.
"He's on the phone but he'll be with you in just a moment." the lady said as she grabbed her bag and hit the elevator button.
Courtney took a seat down in one of the chairs that sat outside of the office and began reading a magazine. The elevator doors open and the lady turned "Have a good day Courtney." she finished as somebody else stepped off.
"You too!" she said as it took her a moment to take in who just stepped off.
"Oh my god!" Courtney said putting her magazine on the table and running over to the girl.
"Ahh! What are you doing here?" Courtney asked excited as she hugged her best friend and sister.
"I was about to ask you the same thing!" Emily squealed back.
"I start working here today!' Courtney said as she pulled away.
"Nervous, huh?" Emily asked her.
"More then you know!" Courtney said as they let out little giggles.
"I heard he was mean and he's old and creepy." Emily said seriously.
"Oh my god!" Courtney said looking at her pale.
"I'm kidding. He's nice and wonderful and such a fantastic person who I happen to be in love with!" Emily said with a smile.
"So he's your fiancé?" Courtney asked looking at her.
"Yes. That's why I am here. I was bringing him lunch." she replied holding up a bag as the door opened. Emily quickly turned to face the door as Courtney did the same.
Courtney felt something in her stomach tighten when she saw his face.
"Babe" Emily squealed running to her fiancé.
Nikolas Cassadine stood there with a dumbstruck look on his face as his future wife flung herself into his arms. He looked over her shoulder at the blue eyes staring at him… he couldn't believe it; it was her.
Suddenly the moment was broken as Emily pulled away and stated excitedly, "Nik, this is my sister Courtney, and apparently she is your new assistant"
Suddenly the air became thick for two people in the room…
A/N: Hope you liked, and you should review because instead of just making one person happy you will make two!
