Ah, Secret Window...not Johnny's best film (From Hell, Ed Wood), definitely not his worst (Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas) but somewhere in the upper end of the middle (like Blow) and I've wanted to write another fanfic for ages, you know, to get my creative juices flowing again so I may even be able to finish EFR so here it is, my SW fanfic.

SPOILER WARNING

IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM, DON'T READ THIS!!!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with SW, except a copy of the film. My friend has the book...I prefer that ending...means no BAD low-budget sequels. Anyhoo...

Secret Window - Because I Loved You...

Chapter One

"And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
Yeah and he's holding her in his arms late, late late at night."

Sienna Clark groaned and rolled over, attempting to hit the nasty clock radio which had roused her from her blissful slumber. Though she'd practiced this many times, this time she managed to miss the target and feel straight out of bed with a crash. She grunted and got up off the floor. The annoying 80's music was still playing.

"Shut up." Sienna mumbled and hit the off button.

She headed towards the shower and climbed in. She hit the on button of her shower radio, which luckily was tuned to a less embarassing station. The latest song from the latest boyband member turned hot R&B artist was playing. Sienna unashamedly sang along whilst washing her golden blonde hair.

After about 20 minutes, she climbed out of the shower and headed to her wardrobe.

"What to wear, what to wear..." She asked herself, while going through all the outfits in her vast wardrobe. Sienna reached in and pulled out a pair of black trousers and a fitted white shirt. The boss, Stuart, was going to be in the office today and Sienna needed to make sure she dressed to impress. Of course, Sienna could go into work in her pyjamas and still manage to impress Stuart. Stuart adored Sienna and the feeling was mutual. They'd been conducting an affair for the last four years, ever since Sienna had joined 'The Book Review' magazine.

She smiled as she thought about getting to see Stuart again. He'd been out of town for three weeks and she'd really missed him. She grabbed her hairdryer and set about drying her hair. Luckily for her, she'd inherited her parents naturally straight hair so after drying it she was ready to go, which considering she was already late was definitely a good thing.

She grabbed her bag and dashed out of the door and ran to her car. She climbed in and drove to the offices as fast as she could without getting booked - no pun intended. She checked her watch when she arrived. She was 20 minutes late. Not good when your office is on the top floor of a 20 storey building and you're scared of elevators.

She stood at the door for a moment, trying to decide whether to go in the elevator and scare herself shitless but be a little less late, or to go up the stairs, get a good workout, save herself hyperventilating and being even more late. She darted up the stairs.

Puffing and panting, she arrived on her floor 10 minutes later. Her assistant, Justin, was stood at the top of the stairs waiting for her with a glass of water.


"Morning." He handed her the water and took her bag from her, "I told Stuart you had car trouble."

"Oh, Justin, you're a star!" Sienna said, taking a moment to recover before following Justin into her office.

"So why are you really late?" Justin asked, as Sienna collapsed into her big chair.

"Would you believe me if I said car trouble?" Sienna asked.

Justin shook his head, "No."

"Okay, so I won't say that."

Justin was one of the sweetest people Sienna knew. He was like a cross between Edward Norton in Death To Smoochy and a bunny. He'd had a crush on Sienna since he started working with her but she was too into Stuart to notice it.

"He's in his office." Justin told her.

"Thanks."

Sienna stood up and straightened herself out: "How do I look?"

"Fantastic." Justin replied, sincerely.

Sienna smiled and headed out of her office: "Oh Justin?"

"Yeah?"

"Take the rest of the day off, I think I'll get all the assistance I need in there." She wiggled her eyebrows.

Justin smiled, "Thanks Sienna."

Sienna walked over to Stuart's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." He called.

She pulled the door open and walked in. Stuart smiled when he saw her. He still looked as good as ever. Tall, blue eyes, dark hair, killer smile. It was hard to believe he was in his 50's.

Sienna walked over to him. He got up from behind his desk and approached her. He pulled her up to him and captured her in a deep kiss. As the kiss broke off Sienna smiled: "I've missed that."

Stuart laughed and went back to the other side of his desk.

"So how was the Caribbean?"

"I was there with my wife...you fill in the blanks." Stuart said, going into a drawer in his desk.

Sienna unintentionally flinched at the 'W' word. She hated being reminded that Stuart was married.

He pulled out some papers from his drawer and passed them to Sienna. She took them hoping they were signed divorce papers he'd just decided to show her. No such luck.

"Morton Rainey? The mystery writer?"

Stuart nodded, "He hasn't released anything for a few years now, ever since his wife died but he's on the verge of a releasing his newest novel, 'Because I Loved You' and he's agreed to let our best journalist spend a week with him in his cabin on Tashmore Lake to get the inside scoop on him." He explained, "And since you're our best journalist..."

Sienna smiled, "Thanks but no thanks. I don't like mystery writers, they freak me out."

"No buts Sienna, I want you on this article."

Sienna sighed, "Fine."

"Thank you."

"When is he expecting me?"

"Not until this evening," Stuart replied, "So if you've got nothing else planned for the rest of the day, I'd like to make up for lost time."

Sienna smiled: "I dunno, I was going to challenge some furry creatures to a game of 'Bullshit'."

Stuart got up from behind his desk and joined Sienna, he began softly kissing her neck. Sienna's smile grew wider.

"I'm sure I can postpone thought."

She turned into his arms and allowed him to begin making up for the last three weeks she'd spent alone...
