A/N: Sorry it took me longer than expected. After the news of Scott Clifton's exit from GH, it took me a little while to find inspiration. But, I still have many stories to write so the legacy of Dilu will live on without Guza's and the band of idiots' interference... If I did, Scott Clifton would not be leaving and I would do a much better job. The rating is just the same as the show. So, here is chapter two. It is a little slow, but I am building up to something, so this chapter had to be written. There will be more chapters as long as people want them. I am trying to somewhat intertwine it with various things on the show, too. Hope you like it. Please Review. Enjoy!
Lulu tried to try her eyes as best she could outside the small diner. She did not want Georgie Jones to see her eyes so puffy. She was late as usual, and new that the annoying brunette would fake sympathy while all the while laughing at her pain. She pulled out her mascara and redid her mascara, and reapplied the lip gloss she had lost during the amazing kiss with Dillon. Lulu thought to herself, "Stop thinking that way. You can not be with him You know that. There has been too much pain in the past. I just need to get over Dillon. Okay, time to paste on the plastic smile and go make nice with her."
Lulu mustered up her best smile as she opened the door. "Hey, Georgie. Sorry that I am late."
The brunette slammed down the salt shaker. "You know, Lulu, I have a life too I would like to get off of work at my scheduled time. That never happens when I work with you. I just wish—
Lulu could not deal with this today, and interrupted her loudly, "Georgie, I am here now, so why don't you just get out and go live that life?"
"Don't talk to my sister like that, you skank," Maxie Jones said as she strolled into the diner with her boyfriend, Coop.
"Just what I need today. My brother's ex-whore telling me how to talk to her little whiny brat sister. Just butt out! I don't need you on my butt today."
Maxie could not resist and had to taunt Lulu, "What's the matter Lulu? Did I hit a nerve? Are you having problems in your little Cruel Intentions life?"
Lulu found herself unable to resist and punched Maxie so hard that her lip bled, and she hit the floor. Maxie jumped up and knocked Lulu on the ground. The two girls then began hair pulling, punching until Coop pulled Maxie back, and a strong arm grabbed Lulu. Lulu knew who the arm belonged to and snarled, "Dillon, leave me alone."
"Lu, I don't think that Mike wants this drama in here. I wasn't trying to grab you."
Mike came out from behind the counter, "I really like you girls but if you do not stop getting in these arguments and running off my customers than I am going to have to tell you that you are not welcome here anymore, whether or not your family owns the place or not, Lulu."
All of a sudden, Lulu felt the need to get out of there. She could not deal with Dillon or anyone else. "Mike I feel really sick. Do you mind if I go home?"
"It is slow right now. I don't really see the harm in it. Thanks." Lulu opened the door to the diner and ran out as fast as she could, not bother to see if Dillon was running after her or not."
Dillon lost Lulu, unable to catch back up with her. He went back in the diner and sat down. He felt her walk up to him, and knew that if he was rude to her it would hurt her feelings. Though he no longer had any feeling for Georgie Jones, the woman he had at one point considered the love of his life, he did not want to hurt her feelings. "Do you mind if I sit down, Dillon?"
He looked up at her, trying to muster up a smile. "Sure. Honestly, I do not think that I am going to be much company today. It has just been one of those days."
"I can tell. You seem really stressed out today. Is it Lulu?"
"I really do not feel comfortable talking about this with you."
Georgie knew before she even asked that it was about Lulu. She heard the way that Lulu had snapped at Dillon. In the back of her mind, she really hoped that Dillon and Lulu had not become an item. The way they had fought before she honestly did not know if they were just fighting or what it was. Finally, she broke the silence. "Will you at least tell me one thing?"
"What?"
She asked very cautiously, "Are you and Lulu together?"
Dillon put his head down to try and hide his pain, "No, we are not. She still has not made a decision between me, Milo, and Spinelli. I honestly do not see how that it a choice. But, she says that it is. I just want to be with her so badly, but she says that I have changed. I don't think I have? You know me pretty well"
"I used to know you pretty well. You are really not the same person as you were a year ago. I do not know what it was. I don't know if it was Lulu, her abortion, or just you growing up, but you are so different!"
Dillon could not take it anymore and yelled, "I have not changed! I am the same person I was. I wish everyone could just see that!" He threw a wad of bills on the counter, and left the diner leaving his ex-girlfriend to think about everything that she had witnessed today.
Lulu was enjoying the quiet. She was enjoying just sitting on the pier with an iced caramel latte from The Coffeehouse. She found herself thinking, "I really enjoyed that kiss with Dillon. I just wish that I could let myself love. I just do not feel like I deserve to be loved after everything that I have been through. I put Dillon through hell. I just can not stop thinking about him. Maybe I should go find him, and talk to him." All of a sudden, her happy existence of quiet was interrupted by an all to familiar voice.
Spinelli walked up, "Good afternoon, blonde one. Nature seems to be aligned in its magnificence today."
Many people have a hard time understand Spinellisms, but Lulu knew what he was talking about. "It is a nice day."
"Blonde One, you seem down today. What can the Jackal Do?"
"Spinelli, please just be Spinelli and let me be Lulu today. I can not deal with the blonde-one and Jackal stuff today."
"Sorry," The hacker knew he had to follow what the Master Stone Cold taught him, "What is wrong Lulu?"
Lulu could not hold it in anymore, and knew that she really had to let it out. She felt tears beginning to cascade down her face. "Spinelli, it is awful. I do not know what to do. I just feel so many things. Dillon went with me to see Elizabeth and Jason's baby and it was so hard on me. It just made me want the baby that me and Dillon would have had by now. I am sorry. You do not need to hear about my problems with Dillon."
Spinelli all of a sudden look and sounded human when he told Lulu, "Hey, do not be so hard on yourself. You and Dillon were too young to be parents. You two will always have a connection. You just need to figure out if you want friendship or something more with Dillon."
Lulu could not help but smile as he went on, "But, I still think that your heart and soul needs to intertwine with the Jackal"
Lulu knew he meant well, but she had her Spinelli fill for the day. "Thanks, Spinelli. You really helped." She leaned over and hugged the hacker, and began the long walk back to the big mansion.
Dillon entered the Quartermaine mansion, hoping that he would not run into any family members. He would not mind running into Lulu, but he knew she still was not home since he had walked past the pier on the way home and saw her and Spinelli deep in conversation. He briefly thought about breaking them up, but ultimately decided against it. He started to tip-toe to the stair when he heard his mother talking.
Tracy Quartermaine said, "I am not admitting to anything. I did not steal it."
Dillon figured he could get upstairs unnoticed, when he realized she was yelling at the furniture again. He really was beginning to worry about her. He leaned against the door. "You know, Mom. Grandfather or Luke really is going to send you to Shadybrook unless you stop talking to the chair."
The ghost of Dr. Alan Quartermaine taunted Tracy, "Hey. Maybe he is hear to ask for permission to date his step-sister again. That would be fun!"
"Shut up, Alan"
Dillon gave his mother an exasperated look, "Mom, we have been through this. Uncle Alan is dead. He is not haunting you."
"Easy for you to say. He does not sit in this chair and taunt you."
"Whatever, Mom"
"Sweetheart, what has you so fickle this afternoon? Let me guess, Lulu."
Dillon groaned. He did not want to hear another round of how he could not date Lulu, so he lost his temper with his mother."Mom, we have been through this. She is my STEP-sister. Emphasis on the step. She and I are adults. We did not grow up together. We did not know each other before you and Luke got married, so butt out."
Tracy normally would have lectured her soon for an hour based on the way he just talked to her, but she looked and saw the pain in his eyes. She did what an average mother would do. She threw her arms around her son and said, "Sweetheart, I do not know what has you so upset today, but it will be okay. Do you want to tell me what is wrong?"
"No, but thanks. It is good to know that you are here." Dillon made his way up to his room and began his homework, as that was the only thing that would take his mind off of Lulu at the time.
Lulu walked in the mansion, hoping she would not run into anyone. She tiptoed up the stairs, and went to her room. She lay down on her bed, when she heard a knock. "Come In."
Dillon Quartermaine stared at his feet, "Hi, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay. I am not trying to make you feel uncomfortable at all."
"You are not. Dillon, I wish that I felt different, but I do not. I just do not see how we can be together. I still hurt so bad.ly."
Dillon sat on her bed. "Lulu, I know. I do too. I just do not see how depriving ourselves of happiness solved the problem."
Lulu knew that she should not have done this. It would just lead him on. She leaned over and kissed him. Dillon pulled Lulu into the kiss. His tongue intertwined with hers, and their lips became just one. She felt herself start to panic, but pushed it away and began kissing him deeper. She broke the kiss breathless. She found herself absently staring in his eyes, while panicking. She thought, I can not deal with the way he is looking at me. I just can not. Maybe I should let myself feel this. I need to be with him. "She looked at him and began to unbutton his shirt. He painted a trail of kissed down her neck.
Lulu broke the kiss. "Dillon, this does not change anything. We still can not be together yet."
"Then why are you kissing me"
"Well, you smell really good. I just want to be with you."
"But, you don't want to be with me."
"Couldn't it just be sex?"
Dillon knew where she was going with this. "You are saying you just want to have sex, and nothing more?"
"Dillon, I still have not made my decision, but I want you right now. Couldn't we just hook up tonight? I just want to be with you tonight."
Dillon wanted more, but with her kissing his neck, he knew he couldn't tell her no. He surrendered to the kiss, and pulled her shirt off and began to kiss her body from head to go. She returned the favor, No words were spoken for the next few minutes until she whispered, "Do you have something?"
Dillon reached over and took the small package out of the drawer. After all these long months, their bodies were one once again. An hour later, they both collapsed on the bed. Dillon broke the silence, "So what does this mean?"
"It means we just had sex. I still don't know what I want. Could you just hold me?"
Dillon put his arm around Lulu. He wanted to try to convince her to be with him, but he had to take this for now. Both Dillon and Lulu slipped into slumber as they needed sleep since neither knew if the morning would bring a fight or what. Lulu thought as she was falling asleep, "I hope he does not think this means we are back together. She then slipped into a deep sleep.
Dillon watched her sleep for a while, and as he fell asleep thought, "I hope she realizes now that I am the right guy for her."
