A/N: Yea, I know I've got another fic that I should be

updating butâE¦*shrug*âE¦I couldn't help myself. This fic takes

place about 5 years from the whole Michael getting ousted from

his father's company and all.

Pairing: Kendall/Greenlee

"I still can't believe you ever touched him."

Kendall Hart gave a soft sigh, the sound echoing through out

the near empty Fusion office. Picking at the crimson red nail

polish that covered her nails she looked up at the woman

standing across the office from her. The woman who had felt so

much hate for her, and who she herself had once hated. But

that was then, this was now.

"Furthermore, I can't believe he wanted to have his funeral

here. The bastard should've known that Pine Valley was home to

his worst enemies."

"And his neighbors, and business associates, and..," Kendall

let the words hang, she felt no sympathy for Michael Cambias

but she understood him and his reasons for being buried in Pine

Valley.

"Lost loves," asked one Greenlee Smythe, her eyes watching the

woman before her.

Kendall's eyes snapped up to meet Greenlee's and her fingertips

stopped moving, "I don't know about that. Maybe he was

thinking something more along the lines of 'keep your friends

close and your enemies closer'," offered Kendall.

"Maybe."

The conversation ended when the two heard the door open and the

sound of footsteps heading for the office they were currently

occupying. Ever since Fusion had moved into the new building

it's business had only tripled. The women looked at each

other, each studying the other with their own sort of intense

gaze. When the door opened and a third woman stepped through,

Kendall broke the stare and looked over to see her younger

sister, Bianca.

"OhâE¦I'm sorry, I didn't know I was interrupting," started

Bianca.

"No, don't worry about it. You're not interrupting anything

Bianca."

"Okay wellâE¦are you guys ready to go?"

"Yea. I need to make sure that bastards is dead if only for my

own pleasure," snorted Greenlee as she headed for the door.

"I'll be there in a sec," responded Kendall.

Greenlee's figure had begun to fade off into the distant end of

the hallway when Bianca turned her gaze about to face her

sister. Calling her sister had long ago stopped feeling odd

and now seemed the norm. Bianca carefully took a step closer

to her sister, worried about how she was handling this. True,

she acted like everything was fine, she even acted a little

happy like the rest of the town. Ever since Michael had gone

off to live in Europe, trying to start up his own company,

Kendall had put her past with him at rest though, as anyone

close to her knew, she still worried about him reappearing.

"Are you okay, Kendall?"

Bianca reached forward, touching her sister's shoulder lightly

causing the older woman to snap out of the daze she seemed to

have worked herself into. Kendall looked up to Bianca and gave

a nod, still trying to reassure herself that she didn't care

about Michael's death. The man had used her, tried to rape

herâE¦he'd done everything in the book but the what she

remembered most about him was that she'd loved him and she knew

that somewhere in his heart he'd loved her.

"If I say no, is that wrong?"

"No. You'd just be being honest."

"Well then...no. I mean it's not like I loved him still but I

can remember the days when I did."

"I don't think you'll ever forget those days but it's best,

sometimes, to leave the past in the past."

"No wonder you're mom's favâE¦you've always been the smarter

one," said Kendall, tossing Bianca a wink as she stood up and

headed for the door.

Bianca rolled her eyes and walked over, playfully nudging

Kendall as she headed down the hall. Looking over her shoulder

she spoke.

"I can't help itâE¦I'm smarter and wellâE¦sexier of course."

Kendall laughed and it was her turn to roll her eyes, "you keep

telling yourself that Binks."

Bianca scoffed, "are you denying my sexy-ness?"

"Who? Me? No, never. Just reminding you who Michael picked

to be his original seductress."

"Ha. Ha. Ha."

"Oh, see that laughter just serves to prove that you're in

denial. You know I'm sexier."

"Uh huhâE¦that's why-"

"Are you two planning on spending all day arguing over who is

sexier? Cause if so I can end the debate right now," said a

rather annoyed Greenlee from her spot at the elevator.

"Really? Well end it then," said Kendall.

"Okay. The sexier one of the two of you is-"

"You know it's me Greenlee," purred Bianca suggestively,

licking her lips in an almost comical manner as she tried to be

sexy and not her usual cute self.

"C'mon GreenleeâE¦you know it's really me," Kendall looked dead

into Greenlee's eyes as she bit her bottom lip and gave a

slight smirk.

"AhhâE¦okay LesBianca stop. KendallâE¦down. The sexiest person in

this building isâE¦me. But the sexier out of you two is

Kendall," said Greenlee before turning and walking into the

elevator leaving behind the sisters.

"Hah! Told ya so!"

"Puh-leaze. Greenlee is so biased."

"Uh huh. Should I buy you a house on Da Nile Binks?"

"Ha. Ha. Ha."

"The laughter again, I yi yi."

"I'm surprised that you came. I thought you and my son were

enemies," came the dignified voice of Alexander Cambias.

"We were. But before that we were lovers," stated Kendall, her

voice quiet.

"AhhâE¦well Miss Hart I offer my condolences."

"Why would you offer them to me? You're his father."

"Father only in name, Miss Hart. Only in name," that said

Alexander gave a nod and walked off to confer with a business

partner he'd spotted.

"Here you are," said Greenlee as she handed Kendall a champagne

flute.

Watching as Kendall downed the expensive champagne in one swift

swallow, Greenlee quirked a brow. Linking her arm with

Kendall's, the ever persuasive Greenlee led her friend off into

the graveyard beside the church where most of the people were

gathered. Kendall didn't object, she didn't say anything as

she allowed herself to be led off.

"SoâE¦I don't get it."

"Don't get what?"

"Why you care."

"It's complicated."

"Yea?"

"Yea."

"Well, I've got time for you to explain," stated Greenlee

firmly as she turned to face her friend.

Kendall sighed and sorted through her thoughts and emotions

before her lips parted, "I loved him. And he loved me. I

don't care what he did to me and what I did to him we both

loved each other at one point or another and no it's justâE¦I

don't knowâE¦hard to imagine him not alive."

"Are you saying you still had feelings for him?"

"No! God no. It's just weird. I always thought Michael would

be there..if not physically there then mentally. Whenever I

heard someone knock at my door I always thought it might be

him. Part of me scared, the majority. And part of meâE¦curious.

To be honest I think that's why Boyd and I never worked out.

I always expected Michael to come back and by the time I gave

up that thought it was too late."

"Same with Aiden?"

"Yep."

"SoâE¦do you think you'll be able to have closure now that he's

dead?"

"I hope so."

"WellâE¦I hope so too," Greenlee said on impulse.

"Is that a friendship sorta thing or a

I-feel-like-following-the-bisexuality-trend sorta thing," asked

Kendall, a joking smirk on her lips.

"Uh oh, I've been figured out!"

"At least you've got good enough taste to pick me as your

lesbian lover," teased Kendall.

"AhaâE¦you've always wanted me Kendall, I just figured I'd

finally indulge you."

"Well then, let's blow this joint and head over to your place."

"Sure thing, Fonz," said Greenlee with a roll of her eyes as

she stood up, her look becoming serious, "do you want to go

back?"

Kendall thought about it for a second, just a second, before

she spoke, "no."

"Wow."

"Yea."

"SoâE¦"

"So, you owe me 20 bucks."

"Yea, yea."

"Hey, I can't help it if I know these things."

"Yea but GreenleeâE¦and Kendall?"

"There've been weirder pairings Binks."

"Like?"

"Like us."

"Thanks for getting me out of there Greenlee," said Kendall as

she looked at her friend.

Her big, misty blue eyes caught the dark brown one's that

Greenlee had as Greenlee reached forward and placed her hand on

Kendall's shoulder, thumb moving in slow circles in what she

hoped was a comforting manner.

"What're friends for?"

"FriendsâE¦"

"Yea, you know that thing we are."

Kendall looked down a moment but was forced to look back up as

Greenlee hooked her finger under her chin.

"You know I'm here for you right?"

"Through anything?"

"Anything."

"Right then," Kendall took in a deep breath then leaned

forward, pressing her full lips against Greenlee's.

Shocked, Greenlee began to pull back but then just melted into

the kiss, her lips beginning to open slightly to allow her

tongue to pass through and lightly lick Kendall's glossy lips.

Mmm, she thought, they taste like watermelon.
