Robin has just returned back to Port Charles over ten years after getting her heart broken from her now, ex boyfriend, Tyler Storms, who didn't treat her the way she should have been treated. Robin doesn't get along with the handsome doctor, Dr. Patrick Drake. Brenda's just come back in town with Jax on a mission to hook up her best friend. What happens when Robin finds out her blind date is Jax's best friend, Patrick?

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Robin rolled her eyes as she walked out of one of the exam rooms where she caught Patrick fondling a nurse. God, this man made her sick to her stomach, and it surprised her that he acted like the man he was, which was a manwhore. The man had no respect for women, and the women he was with, it only made her disgusted to even be a woman sometimes. She never ever would stoop down to a man like him.

Still in shock that she was even back here in Port Charles, she knew it was the best decision, especially with working in an amazing hospital. After Tyler had broke her heart for the last time, Robin just couldn't take it anymore with his cheating ways. She had dated the guy for three years and was even engaged to the cheating bastard. She still didn't understand how she even got involved with a horrendous man such as Tyler Storms. He was the most disturbing man she had ever married and she was thankful to the night she caught him having sex with one of their neighbors in their apartment complex in 'their' bed. If she got married to him, she wouldn't even know where she would be today.

Walking down the hall, Robin grumbled to herself before she bumped into someone. As she looked up to see who it was, she hugged them tightly.

"Brenda, oh my god, what are you doing here?" Robin asked, not being able to help herself but to become excited. Brenda and her had been through a lot together and she hadn't even known that her best friend would be in town.

"Surprise!" Brenda grinned, taking a step back, shaking her head. "I am really glad to see you too, Robin. I just thought it'd be nice to see you. I haven't seen you in a while."

Robin laughed at her best friend, who she claimed as her big sister. "Uh, we just saw each other three months ago, and we've been living together for the past ten years."

"Yeah, yeah. After living with you for so long, I couldn't help it. Hell, even Jax wanted to come back, but he said he had some business to attend to down here," Brenda replied with a grin leaving her lips. "How are you doing by the way?"

When Robin saw the concerned look in her best friend's eyes, she knew she was talking about the breakup with Tyler. Sighing softly, Robin leaned back against the wall, not knowing that Patrick was watching her movement. A couple of tears filled her eyes. "I'm fine. I miss him but I'm good."

Brenda raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me, Robin? What the hell is wrong with you? Tyler cheated on you a couple weeks before your wedding with that slutty, bitchy in your bed with him! How can you miss that cold-hearted bastard? He's just as bad as Jason!"

Robin leaned her head back against the wall, rubbing her hands over her temples. "We were together a little over three years, Brenda. Hell, what if Jax cheated on you that way?"

"He wouldn't do that to me, Robin, and you know I'm right. Jax is like your typical dream guy, Brenda. He is romantic, sweet, and just the American type of guy you'd bring home to your parents. I just--- thought that things would be different this time, you know?" Robin sighed, wiping away the tears that had fell down her pale cheeks onto her freckles.

Just hearing Robin talk this way, it made Brenda feel all torn inside. As Robin silently let the tears fall down her face, Brenda looked around her, and she noticed Patrick. Jax had mentioned him a few times and had even told her stories about the two of what the guy was like.

"Sweetie, I'm sure you'll find an amazing guy."

Robin lifted her head up and she quickly shook her head. "No Brenda, I'm done with guys--- for a while. After all the pain I have been through for the last ten years, maybe it's a sign that I will never have my dream of being a wife or a mother. Let's just face it. I am going to be a bitter HIV+ woman for the rest of my life, Brenda, and you just have to face it."

Brenda simply shook her head. She just wasn't going to have her friend be miserable. All she wanted was for Robin to be happy like she was. It just wasn't fair that she was getting the fairy tale dream while Robin continued to get her heart stomped on. To Brenda, it just wasn't fair.

"Uh-uh, it's not happening. I am going to set you up on a blind date. I've never done it for you but I've done it for a few friends of mine. You just got to trust me, all right?"

Robin blinked back the tears when she heard the words leave her sister's lips. "Uh what? What did you just say, Brenda? A blind date?"

Brenda just grinned from ear to ear. "Oh yes, we're going to get you a very good man, Robin. He's going to make you forget about all the men in your life."

"Oh God, Brenda. I'm just not ready to date right now, especially since everything that Tyler did to me. I just don't think right now is the perfect time," Robin sighed running a hand over her lower back. "I'm just tired of men right now. They're useless to me right now."

Brenda led Robin to the waiting area, giving Patrick a smile, helping Robin sit down before she knelt down in front of Robin.

"Robin, just one date. I think it'll be good for you, especially since I've heard all you do is mope in your apartment. You can't let Tyler rule you, sweetheart."

Robin looked down at Brenda and sighed. She just didn't know why Brenda was so persistent on her going on this blind date, which would only end horribly. She had heard about blind dates from colleagues from work and none of them were horrible.

"I cannot believe I am agreeing to this, Brenda, but if this date goes horrible, I know that you better make this up to me," Robin groaned, leaning back against the chair.

"Great!" Robin placed her hands on Robin's kneecap. "Now, it looks like I get to find you the man of your dreams, Dr. Scorpio."

"How cute! You're trying to sound all grown up now," Robin teased, poking her finger at Brenda's nose, shaking her head. "I just hope they're not any fool, Brenda, or your ass is mine!"

All Brenda did was smile at her friend. She was going to make sure that this was going to be a night that Robin would never forget.

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Brenda sighed as she plopped down on the couch, watching Jax pacing back and forth across the house, shaking her head in disbelief at how he was acting. He was acting like aliens were invading the world. All she had asked him was if Patrick could be Robin's blind date.

"Baby," Brenda pouted, sitting up, and leaning back against the comfortable couch. "I don't understand why you are acting this way."

Jax laughed, taking a seat in front of her, sitting on the wooden table in front of her, and taking her hands in his. He kissed her knuckles gently and sighed. "Baby, I know you mean well, but why do you have to interfere in our best friend's lives. Besides, I am pretty sure that Robin isn't ready to be dating right now, especially what happened by catching Tyler with another woman."

"Actually, she said she doesn't mind," Brenda said with a grin. "Now, what if Patrick turned up to be her blind date, Jax? Just think in the future, the four of us could have a double wedding!"

Jax laughed, shaking his head in her direction. "Excuse me? You're already planning weddings that I don't even know about?" Jax asked with a laugh leaving his lips. "Why do you want her with Patrick? I've told you about his ways."

"Even so, I think that Robin could push his walls away, and besides they'd be a very hot couple. A neurosurgeon and a researcher that are very attractive and hooking up? I think that they'd be the hottest couple at General Hospital, babe. Will you at least think about it?"

Jax looked into her eyes, noticing that she was giving him that cute pout. "Geez woman, I will give Patrick a call to see what he thinks about it, all right?"

"No! You can't do it over the phone, Jax. Why don't you invite him to the Metrocourt for some lunch, Jax? I just think it'd be better that way."

Jax nodded and he just couldn't believe what he was getting himself into. All he knew was he could remember the phone calls he would get about Robin Scorpio from his pal. He had been receiving those calls about how bossy Dr. Scorpio was for the last several weeks. How the hell was he going to pull this off? He just prayed that he could get his best friend to go out on a date with his girlfriend's best friend.

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Patrick noticed that Jax seemed to be in a daze for the last several moments. He didn't really know why he was here if Jax wasn't going to talk but he could tell that his best friend had a lot on his mind. He just hoped that it was nothing life threatening. He also prayed that it didn't have anything to do with Jerry Jacks. All Jerry did was stir up problems.

"Jax, what's going on?" Patrick asked, finally getting the courage to what was going on. "Are you in some type of trouble? Is it your brother? What's going on that's got to make you very quiet, looking disturbed, man?"

Jax sighed, licking across his bottom lip. "It's Brenda, actually."

Patrick raised an eyebrow. "W-What's going on? Is she all right?"

"Oh yeah, she's fine. It's just something she wants me to ask you but I am just not sure how you are going to react," Jax replied, looking down at the empty appetizer plate, which had been biscuits on the plate.

"Jax, what's going on?"

"It's just we came here for a reason. As I told you about Robin's ex fiancé cheating on her… well, my girlfriend has decided she's wanted to play matchmaker!"

"Wait, huh?"

"Patrick," Jax closed his eyes for a second before looking back at Patrick. "My girlfriend has this really stupid idea of having you being Robin's blind date tonight, actually."

Patrick's eyes nearly popped out of their socket. "Wait, what the hell? You know I can't stand her. I am sorry about her boyfriend cheating on her but I can't stand the woman, Jax. Doesn't Brenda even know how I feel towards her best friend?"

"She does but you know how Brenda can be. She's thickheaded, and right now, the only thing on her mind is bring a smile to Robin's face," Jax shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, it's just one date, man."

Patrick rolled his eyes at the thought of taking Robin out. He remembered just hours before he had watched Robin yell at him for not having sex in a public place when she caught him and a nurse finishing their 'duties'. He remembered he couldn't wipe that sleazy grin off of his face as well.

"I cannot believe I am agreeing to this but fine. One date and that's it. You tell your girlfriend that after this, she better not ask me to take Robin out on another date. That woman just disturbs me more than anyone will ever know," Patrick said with a huff, opening his menu.

"I know you didn't want this but I am the one that has to go home to Brenda," Jax laughed, finally opening his menu. "As Brenda said, maybe it will finally work out between the two of you."

Patrick rolled his eyes just as a waitress came to their table, placing a new plate with biscuits on the table, and then taking away the empty one. "You must be on drugs, man. Robin Scorpio and I will never be more than friends. No way in fucking hell will I ever stoop myself down to a woman like her."

Jax just grinned, licking at his lower lip. "I swear, you're the most stubborn man on the world, but maybe tonight won't be as bad as you think, Patrick."

Patrick lifted a brow at Jax, laughter leaving his lips. "You got jokes. Very funny."

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Robin still couldn't believe she agreed to go out on this date with some guy she wouldn't even know and she wondered if it was too late to back out now. Groaning, she walked over to the Nurses Station, watching Dr. Patrick Drake talking to some nurse, and she didn't know why, but she felt some sort of jealousy watching him. All she knew was he some horn dog and she would never go on a date with a man like him. He only reminded her of Tyler of his manwhore ways and she knew deep in her heart that a man like him would never commit to a woman.

"Robin?"

Robin turned her head to see Jax and she grinned as she jumped into his arms. "Jax, oh my god! I didn't know you were back in town since Brenda said you had some business to attend to when I called her earlier."

"I guess she wanted me to surprise you," Jax chuckled, letting her go, and then kissing the top of her head with a smile leaving his lips. "I heard that you've got a blind date today. Excited?"

Robin scoffed, leaning back against the Nurses Station. "Do I look happy, Jax?"

Jax smiled and then looked over at Patrick, who was staring at the two. "Who knows, Robin, it could be the man that you've wanted all along?"

Robin swatted against his chest and she sighed a little bit. "Yeah right, Jax. Stone died, Jason was horrible to me when he cheated on me with Carly and lied about Michael, and then the bastard Tyler fucked some slut in 'our' bed, Jax. There is no one out there for me."

"What if there was, sweetheart? What if he's someone you know?" Jax whispered into her ear and then pulled back.

Robin had a raised eyebrow. "Excuse me? Jax, you're with Brenda."

"I wasn't talking about me, Robin. What if this guy made your life complete hell but you enjoyed it?" Jax asked, leading her down the hall so they could talk in private.

Robin stopped walking, knowing who he was talking about. "Ew Jax. Are you talking about Patrick?"

Jax just grinned at her. "Why, of course I am. I mean, the two of you are more alike than you could ever think, Robin. Why don't you ask him out on a date?"

Robin looked at him like he was crazy and she placed her hands on her hips. She looked down the hall where Patrick was talking to that same nurse he had been fondling.

"No, I don't think I could, and besides he's been 'hanging out' with that nurse, Jezebel. His lifestyle is something I could never live up to," Robin sighed, leaning back against the wall with a frown. "I am just going to get through this date tonight, Jax."

"All right, Robin. I hope that you will have fun tonight," Jax said, kissing her cheek, and then walked away to Patrick.

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Robin walked into Brenda's house she was sharing with Jax and she sighed. She still couldn't believe that she was going out with some guy she didn't even know. All Robin knew was she had to find a way to move on with her life after everything Tyler had done. The man had treated her so horrible than she had ever been treated. He had manhandled her so many times and he had even taken advantage of her when she was too tired.

Feeling the tears spring to her eyes, she looked up from where she was sitting. There stood Brenda holding a box of tissues and Robin simply took the box from her.

"I'm sorry, Brenda," Robin sighed, letting a hand run through her hair. "I can't stop thinking about the ways that Tyler treated me."

Brenda sighed, sitting down next to her, rubbing Robin's back gently. "I know, sweetie, and I know it will be a hard time to get over it, but just think about it," Brenda said as she took a deep breath. "I hooked you up with a hot surgeon, sweetie. You're going to have a good time tonight."

When Brenda mentioned that her date was a doctor, Robin just smiled lightly. She had never dated a surgeon before. She had dated bad boys but never a good guy, especially not a surgeon. In a way, Robin was really excited about her date.

"Really? A surgeon, Brenda?" Robin asked with a small blush cascading over her cheeks. "What is he like?"

Brenda knew she had to be careful of how she explained Patrick or Robin would definitely not go on the date if she knew it was Patrick.

"Well, he's handsome. He went to Yale University for his PHD. He's a fun guy, which I thought was something you could handle. From the things I've heard, he's a real gentleman too," Brenda said with a playful wink. "When I mentioned your name to him, he didn't even hesitate to say yes."

Robin looked down at the box, wiping away the tears from her face that had fallen down her cheeks. "I guess this date won't be that bad, then. I just hope we can get along. The last thing I need is to date someone that's scared of my HIV status or a bad boy like Jason and Tyler were."

"Don't you worry your little heart, Robin. We're going to make you have the future you've always wanted and then some," Brenda giggled as she was standing up. Once she was stood up, Robin took her hand, and Brenda let her to her room. "I think we should get you all dolled up tonight. What do you think?"

Robin shrugged her shoulders. "It's just a blind date, Brenda. I don't need to go all out tonight. You know I don't even try as hard as you do."

Brenda just laughed. "That's just the way you are and I even got you a dress, Robin. You're got to wear the dress tonight with the matching jacket. Please?"

When Robin saw that puppy dog pout on her face, Robin just laughed, not even know why she just agreed to wear the dress she bought. "Fine, fine, show me the dress, Dr. Fashion."

"You got that right," Brenda giggled as she watched Robin sit down at the vanity set that was attached to her dresser and Brenda went to the closet to get the dress. "You're just going to love it.

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Robin sat down at the table where she had reservations tonight at the Metrocourt. Still in shock that she had a date tonight, Robin looked around to see where her date was. Also, the dress she was wearing was something she wouldn't wear on a first date with a guy she didn't even know.

Robin was wearing a velvet purple, strapless dress. The dress even had a matching jacket that came to the length of her breasts. The jacket had embroidery across it too. Now, the dress came right above her knee cap, having a flowing design to it, swaying as she walked. The top of the dress had embroidery, which came down to the bottom of the dress in a food pyramid way. The dress started as tight but came loose at the bottom.

Opening her menu, Robin couldn't believe that this was happening to her.

¤ ¦ ¤ ¦ ¤

Patrick still couldn't believe he agreed to go on a date with Robin Scorpio. The two never got along and were always arguing about patients medical care. He had to admit that part was always fun and he couldn't wipe off the smile. When he entered the restaurant, he immediately saw Robin, and she took his breath away.

'Wow, she looks so beautiful tonight,' Patrick thought to himself as he walked towards Robin's table after telling the guy at the front that she was his date.

"Hey Robin," Patrick said as he approached her date.

Robin lifted her face when she saw Patrick dressed in a pair of black pants and a black button down shirt. He looked even more handsome than ever but he couldn't be her date. Could he?

"Uh, what are you doing here, Patrick?" Robin asked, trying to be mature, not wanting to start a fight with him anyway.

"I'm your date Brenda and Jax set you up on…"
