"Ah, look what the cat dragged in." Kendall menaced over her foamy Latte in Fusion one morning.
"And how's Kendall Hart today? Crying into your coffee, I presume." Greenlee quipped as she walked into fusion to find Kendall looking more pale than usual with the same tears in her eyes she constantly seemed to have.
"You know what, just shut your mouth. I really don't need you right now."
"Wow Kendall. You seem rather moody today, even for you. What happened? Tossed around in the blankets with Ryan all night last night?" Greenlee smiled. "Oh wait, that was me!" Greenlee lied as she set her latte on the table. Kendall rose, not willing to stop a good debate with Greenlee.
"You know, you're the one who should be moody," Kendall said in an attempt of a comeback, "you married someone who could care less if you dropped off the planet."
"I don't know HOW many times I have to tell you that's not true. Ryan cares about me, deeply; so much it might actually be love. You're just sad and depressed because it's my arms he comes to at night, not yours."
"Oh come on, face it Greenlee. You know that you're second. You always will be. You were with Gillian and you are with me. Ryan will NEVER love you like you want him to. Smell the roses; Ryan's my seat, you're just keeping him warm until I'm back from-"
"The loony bin? Kendall, Ryan and I are married. You need to back off, because it's not going to happen for you any time soon."
"Ryan still loves me! You'll see, and you WILL get kicked to the curb, just like always. So really, you need to back off and let fate take its course." Greenlee paused, tossing her purse to the sofa.
"You know, Kendall, I want to talk to you. I want to talk to you like we used to, when I still had a teensy weensy bit more respect for you. I want to go back to last year, when we were friends, and I want to talk to you on that level." Greenlee said after a long pause. Kendall became curious, and she didn't say much.
"Go ahead." Kendall said quietly. Greenlee took in a deep breath.
"I KNOW why Ryan and I got married, okay? And so do you, I mean, you stuffed yourself inside of a box for Christ's sake-"
"Okay, time's up..." Kendall said, already offended.
"But do you want to know MY reasoning for marrying Ryan?" Greenlee
asked. Kendall just stared. "Because I do love him. And he is one of my best friends. Kendall, you took Fusion from me. You know that that the ONLY thing I had in my life." Greenlee felt tears welling up in her eyes. "You took it from me and didn't even give me the littlest hint that you were still on my side and to wait. You married that Cambias prick and took away my company. Even now, you still won't give it back. Fusion was the reason why I got over Leo. I had something to wake up for every morning."
"So you stole MY reason for living!? You know why I had to-"
"Goddamn it, Kendall, let me finish!" Greenlee raised her voice. "So I was mad at you. I tried to make it right with you but we had gone way too far. So my best friend comes to me and asks me to save him from you. I agreed. I did it because while you left me behind, he was there. The sole reason why I married Ryan was because he wanted me to save him." Kendall felt her heart growing warmer for Greenlee again, but the shiny diamond on Greenlee's finger caught her eye, so she held her ground.
"HA. You almost had me feeling sorry for you. You know what the worst part of this whole thing is? You're just setting yourself up for an even bigger fall. Yeah. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Leo's death was a suicide. Living with you would drive anyone crazy. You know why? Because you don't deserve to be a wife." With one quick motion, Greenlee threw her arm back and punch Kendall so hard that she crumpled to the floor. Greenlee breathed heavily.
"While you finish picking your drowned rat of a face off the floor, there are some papers that need to be faxed to Maybellene. I quit. Have a nice day."

Greenlee walked into the pent house to see Ryan sleeping on couch. Greenlee walked over to him and covered him up, smiling a little bit. She kissed him lightly on the forehead. She wished he would see her like he saw Kendall. She knew he never would, however."...Mmhmm...Kendall...." Ryan mumbled. Greenlee's eyes began welling again.
"Get a grip, Greens! Knock it off!" She said to herself. Ryan opened his eyes slowly.
"Oh...Hey peanut." Ryan said groggily.
"What?"
"I said, 'Hey Peanut.' Was I not loud enough?" Ryan joked. Greenlee shook her head.
"No, your subconscious speaks louder than words..." Greenlee laughed. Ryan just stared into her eyes. He'd noticed how big and beautiful they were again. Lately, he'd been staring at Greenlee and figuring out everything that wasn't Kendall about her. He let himself be hypnotized by her eyes this time. She looked tired and empty. Ryan finally took in a sharp breath.
"Why? Was I talking in my sleep?" he asked. Greenlee nodded. She climbed onto the couch with him and cuddled up close to him.
"And I'm sure you know about whom." Greenlee sighed. "Just before you hear it from her, I punched Kendall's lights out today." Greenlee pulled her black bra strap up from her bicep and back to her shoulder. Her hair lightly brazed against Ryan's hand. The simple look she was giving him, the bra strap, and the hair was all leading to Ryan being turned on. He began to imagine Greenlee a little closer, and a little more scantily clad.
"Yeah?" Ryan managed to mumble. Greenlee nodded. He could feel her breath on his chin. It smelled somewhat of coffee, a little more mint, however. Kendall was far from his mind right now. All he could focus on was what he had in his arms right now, and he liked that. He realized he had been trying to get over Kendall all this time, and this is just what he should have done a long time ago. Greenlee felt Ryan stroking her back softly, staring down at her.
"She said Leo probably killed himself, because I don't deserve to be a wife." Greenlee laughed. "So I decked her one." Greenlee sighed and held onto Ryan tighter. She loved him so much, and she was sure all he was thinking about was getting laid. "I quit Fusion, too." Greenlee felt tears in her eyes yet again, but she wasn't ashamed anymore. She liked to cry in front of Ryan.
"Greens, it's okay...." Ryan tried to coax. Suddenly, Greenlee felt brave and sat up before she straddled him. Ryan just stared at her, stroking her legs and thighs. Greenlee leaned down and kissed Ryan softly on the mouth, before he took over and the kiss became more passionate and heated. Once they broke, Ryan stared at her...she wasn't Kendall. He wriggled out from under her and put his hand to his head.
"Who wants Pizza and a movie? I can run to Dominos and get the-uh- the, Pizza plate. We could rent a scary movie, get some Ben and Jerry's..." Rejected again, Greenlee shook her head.
"You know, I'm not hungry. I'm just going to go to bed." She said. Ryan looked at her, panicked.
"Hey, no, wait Greenlee. Listen..." he began as he neared her. Greenlee looked away from him, her eyes filled to the limit with tears. Ryan wanted to kick himself. "I'm sorry. I really am..." he said. Greenlee nodded.
"I understand, it's fine. You know, people say that couples usually stop having sex after marriage. So..." Greenlee smiled. "Really. Go do whatever you have to do. I'll be here waiting for your return." Greenlee laughed. Ryan kissed her forehead before getting his coat. He opened the door, "just be sure to tell me how much I screwed up Kendall's face, will you?" Greenlee said, wiping her eyes. Ryan stared back at her.
"Green-"
"I'm fine." Greenlee said loudly as she walked back alone to her room. Right then and there, Ryan blew it. He continued out the door.
