~Chapter Two~

Disclaimer: I don't own B&B or any of the characters. If I did, it would look more like what you are about to read.

Author's note: I would love some reviews, let me know what you think, please? They really get me more excited to write my story. :-)

Forrester Creations Rooftop

"Thank you for the coffee Thorne."

" Not a problem Quinn. I try to make a point of getting to know the people we do business with, and I haven't had a chance to really get to know you. Also, I have a favor to ask of you." he replies, with a sheepish grin.

" What can I help you with?" she says, a little taken back that a Forrester is asking a favor of her, she is more used to being the one asking for favors.

" You see, I have a daughter that is more into jewelry design than fashion design. I was kind of hoping that you could maybe take her under your wing and teach her a few things."

"I would love to. Has she ever done sketches or anything that I can look at to gauge where she is showing interest?" the dark haired beauty asked.

"Actually, I have them down in my office if you want to come and take a look. I know she would be thrilled. She loved the jewelry you created for the Hope For The Future campaign. Though I have to admit that she doesn't know that I am talking to you about this."

"Not a problem. If you want, tell her I mentioned in passing that I was looking for someone and to call me. Here is my card." she says, pulling a business card from her purse. "Now lets go look at those designs..."

They get up from the table and walk towards the door.

Logan House

"I can't believe it mom, even from Paris that, that, woman is ruining my life again." Hope whines.

" Honey, just calm down for a minute. You need to remember that you are the woman wearing his ring, not Steffy. They are still getting the marriage annulled right?"
"Yeah they are, but mom, you didn't see the video he made her."

"What are you talking about Hope? What video?" Brooke asks with some concern.

"On my way back from my trip to Mexico I got a video montage from Liam of our relationship. Well then earlier tonight up at the cabin I got an e-mail with the subject as, "with love, Liam", so I thought it was something from him. But when I opened it, it was a montage of his time with Steffy. He said it was for closure, but now I am sure that she is the one that sent it to me. I know she is trying to get him away from me again."

"Oh sweetie, that must have been terrible for you. And I have to admit, that it does sound like something she would do."

"Well I told him to get on the Spencer jet, go to Paris, and tell her that she is out of his life for good because we are getting married and starting a family." Hope says haughtily.

"That might not have been wise, think about it, you are sending him to her."

"I know that I am the only woman that Liam has ever loved mom. You and I both know that Steffy manipulated him into both marriages, they were a sham."

"Hope, you know that I have always supported you and Liam being together, but I don't think I can any longer. I feel like he is always hurting you and letting you down."

"But mom, we should have always been together, but every time I turn around we are being robbed of the chance." the younger blonde says as she cries.

"You need and deserve a man that only has eyes for you. Maybe someone like Wyatt? It looked to me like you two have chemistry."

"Mom..."

Beach House

"What's going on son?" Bill asks as he walks in the house.

" I think I might have blown it and I am not sure I can fix it this time."

"You mean with Hope? When she walked into Brooke's house she was crying."

"Actually, I mean with Steffy dad. I realized tonight that Hope is not the person I thought she was. I had her on a pedestal, thinking she was this great woman. I realized that she..."

"Acts like an immature child?" Bill replies, cutting Liam off. "I have been trying for years to tell you that kid, but you didn't want to listen. I have watched you with Hope and Steffy, but you only come alive with Steffy."

"She gets me dad, and she never pushed me for anything I wasn't willing to give her. Hope wants me to cut Steffy out of my life completely. She actually said to me that I needed to go to Paris and tell Steffy that she is out of my life and that Hope was the only woman I had ever loved. Hope never listens to me when I tell her that my feelings for Steffy are real and that I wasn't tricked into this last marriage with her." Liam says, looking frustrated.

"The question son, is what are you going to do about all of this? You need to make a choice and stick with it."

"That is actually why I called you. I need to talk to Hope, but then I need to use the jet."

"Well, Katie now has control of Spencer Publications, so I guess you need to ask her. Though I have the feeling that if you asked Eric to use the Forrester jet, they just might let you."

"I think I will call Eric. We both know that Katie won't be happy with my plan. Thanks dad." Liam says as he gives Bill a one armed hug.

After Bill leaves, Liam picks up his phone and dials a number. "Hey, I need to see you..."

Paris

"Well Steffy, I better be going, plans to make and all that. Why don't you come by later." Taylor says as her phones starts to ring. She grabs it out of her purse and looks at it before answering. "Hey you, I was just inviting Steffy over for dinner." The older brunet listens for a minute before replying, " Okay, I will let her know know. I love you" and then hangs up.
