"Zander?" Courtney exclaimed as Emily bit her bottom lip and nodded her head yes.
"You ex boyfriend Zander?" Courtney asked as Emily gave her the same response.
"The one that I kissed at sixteen and you got all beastly on me about it?" Courtney said in shocked as Emily just nodded her head slowly.
"Oh my god Emily! Why?!" Courtney didn't see why she would do such a thing.
"This haven't been going on forever just since he's been back from the navy." Emily said pleading her case.
"Which is when?" Courtney wanted to know.
"A little over a year." Emily said it like it wasnt that long ago.
"Emily! Why?!" She had still never filled her in on the why part.
"Look dont get me wrong I love Nikolas and I want to marry him its just me and Zander go deeper then just friends." Emily began saying.
"Friends with benefits isnt much deeper." Courtney said rolling her eyes.
"What do you know about that?" Emily asked her trying to change the subject.
"Nothing just that it doesn't work. Me and Milo tried it and it wasnt possible." Courtney said shrugging her shoulders.
"Courtney!" Emily exclaimed.
"No Emily that is different. I wasnt seeing anybody let alone engaged and neither was he." Courtney began pleading her case.
"Okay fine whatever! Im a bad person!" Emily said as tears started coming.
Just great a scene in the middle of the restaurant was all Courtney wanted.
"Emily you're not a bad person." Courtney said hoping this would shut her sister up.
It surprised Courtney that she was cheating. Not once did she ever mention it before.
"Are you going to break things off with Zander?" Courtney asked her.
Emily nodded her head as she wiped her tears.
"He's moving again in two weeks and I told him once he goes we are done." Emily said.
The audacity her sister had was unbelievable!
"Two weeks Emily?! Two weeks you are going to continue cheating on Nikolas?" Courtney asked her.
Emily didn't say anything but just looked at her sister.
"Wait how often do you have these so called yoga classes?" Courtney asked her.
"Monday, Tuesday and Thursday." She said as Courtney laughed.
"You're marrying a sucker." Courtney said shaking her head.
"Dont tell Nikolas. Pretend we never had this conversation! It will destroy him if he knew that I was with another man!" Emily said looking at her.
"Im not going to tell him." Courtney said.
She owed it to her sister. Courtney promised Nikolas she wouldnt tell Emily about them so the least she could do was not to tell Nikolas about Zander.
"Wait does that mean you are going out with him today? Its Monday!" Courtney exclaimed.
"Shit I forgot about that! I dont have too." Emily said.
"No you know what go ahead. I'll just go home." She said looking at Emily.
"You sure? I dont want you to feel left out." Emily said.
"Yeah Im sure. Dont worry about it. Tomorrow we will catch up and go over wedding things again!" Courtney said with a smile.
"Okay! Thanks!" Emily said as they stood up and hugged.
"You want me to pay?" Courtney asked her.
"No I have it!" Emily said as she placed money in the black book and they both walked out.
"Here take my car! I'll come by later and get it from you!" Emily said.
"Alright thanks." Courtney said grabbing the keys out of her hand.
"No problem. Love you!" Emily said walking away as she pulled out her cell phone.
"Love you too!" Courtney yelled after her as she got into Emily's black two door Mercedes.
Courtney wasnt going to go back to her apartment just yet. After everything that just happened she needed a drink. Or a few. She let out a deep breath of air and she turned the corner and sped off. She was new to this town and only knew of one place to go have a cheap drink at. She walked into the bar and placed the keys in her back pocket. She wasnt much of a purse carrier unless it was business.
"Hello blondie what can I get for you?" Coleman asked Courtney.
"Rum and coke." She said.
That was her favorite drink. It took him a minute to realize that she was the same girl from the other night.
"Ahh I remember you!" He said placing the drink
She just smiled at him and shook her head. Four drinks later and a really cute guy came and sat beside her. It wasnt who she hoped it was even though it was wrong she no longer cared.
"Hey beautiful. Whats your name?" He asked her.
"Courtney! Yours?" She asked him as she sipped her drink through a straw.
"Lucky." he said looking at her.
She just laughed.
"Thanks I guess. But I asked what your name was." she exclaimed.
"My name is Lucky." He said with a smile.
"Oh like after a dog?" she said trying hard not to laugh.
"You can look at it like that I guess." he exclaimed with a devilish smile.
They made small talk as she continued to drink. She didn't usually drink much but right now it was drowning all her problems away and thats all she wanted. She wanted this week to be over. She just wanted to run away from this town and all her problems yet that didn't seem to be an option. Lucky leaned towards her and whispered in her ear.
"You look beautiful." he said before moving his lips onto hers.
She quickly pulled away.
"Dont." she simply said as she leaned back.
"Come on baby." he said leaning towards her again.
"I think I should leave." She said as she got up and began walking out the bar.
She knew with all the drinks she had in her system she shouldn't be driving. Yet she didn't know who she should call. There was only one person she could think of and it wasnt Emily. She flipped her phone open as her head began to pound and called her work.
"Cassadine Industries how may I help you?" the secretary asked.
"Can I speak to Nikolas please?" she said as she almost fell walking down the side walk.
"One moment please." the lady said putting her on hold.
"Hey baby wait up!" Lucky yelled from behind her.
She rolled her eyes.
"Hurry up!" She said into the phone as it was answered.
"Hello?" he said.
"Nikolas?" She asked in the phone as she heard Lucky yelling behind her.
"Yeah. Courtney?" he wondered.
He knew it wasnt Emily and Courtney was the only other person he could think of.
"Come get me please?" She said as she began sobbing terribly as Lucky's voice got closer.
"Baby I said wait up!" he yelled.
"Where are you?" Nikolas quickly asked as he heard Lucky in the background.
"I dont know! The place from." she stopped and continued to cry.
"Courtney! Jakes?" He shouted into the phone as he put on his suit jacket waiting for her answer.
"Sorry but she's going to have to call you back." the guy on the other line said.
"Shit!" Nikolas exclaimed as he hung up and ran out the office.
"Im calling it a night!" Nikolas said to the two secretary's as they looked at each other while he ran down the steps.
He never called night at seven o'clock on Monday unless something was wrong.
Monday's were the only time they were there til nine most the time and thats because they had to get caught up on all the work that didn't get finished on Friday. Usually they were out by five except on Friday's when everybody left at two. It was a weird system that was for sure.
"Baby I told you to wait up!" Lucky said looking at Courtney as she continued to cry.
"Why are you crying?" he asked her as he pushed back her hair out of her face.
She tried pushing him away but he threw her up against the side of Jakes. He put his lips on hers and began to kiss her as she continued to refuse.
"Stop fighting baby. You're only making this harder for yourself!" Lucky said before he began kissing on her neck.
"Please just stop! I'll give you anything!" She said in tears.
"The only thing I want is you." he said breaking away from her neck and looking into her blue eyes.
She didn't know what else to do but to continue crying as his hand went up her tank top. The farther up it went the more tears she cried. Courtney tried pushing him off but he had his free hand gripping her two above her head.
Courtney saw head lights flash in her eyes as the car pulled up. It just made her headache worse as she closed her eyes not to look in the bright light. Courtney felt her hands being let go as she saw felt Lucky fall in front of her.
She felt someone grab her hand and she wasnt sure who it was.
"You okay?" they asked.
She opened her eyes as tears continued to come and she just looked at him. It was Nikolas. She just nodded her head yes as she was at a lost for words.
"Here." he said placing his jacket around her as he saw her shaking really bad.
"Come on I'll take you home." he grabbed her hand and lead her to the car and opened the door for her.
Before he got in the car he walked over to Lucky as he was now standing.
"Stay away from her or you will be a dead man next time." Nikolas said before drawing back and punching him in the face.
Lucky just held his face and laughed.
"Sorry but she was asking for it." Lucky replied as Nikolas turned around.
He just looked at the man.
"No girl ask to be treated like shit from a man especially from an asshole like you!" Nikolas yelled before getting in his car and pulling out.
The ride back to her apartment was silent. Tears slowly fell from her face.
"You okay?" Nikolas asked as he put the car in park.
"No Im stupid!" She exclaimed not making eye contact.
"No you arent Courtney. Nobody ask to be treated that way." Nikolas said in a low voice.
She wasnt exactly sure what to say to that.
"I need to call Emily and tell her, her car is at Jakes." Courtney said pulling out her phone.
Nikolas sat there and waited for her to get off the phone. It went straight to voice mail.
"Hey Em listen its me I went to Jakes and had a few drinks so I found a ride home and Im okay. So you can pick your car up there. Love you." she said before flipping it shut.
"She's at yoga. Wait if she's at yoga and you had her car how is she getting home?" He asked Courtney.
"She said she had a ride." Courtney answered back.
It was hard lying to Nikolas for Emily because she didn't know what lies Emily was going to tell him if he asked.
"Want me to walk you up?" he asked her softly.
"It doesn't matter." she responded as she opened the door.
He cut the car off and got out. She had to walk up steps and he didn't want to be spending most of his evening in the E.R. either. Two steps from the top and she slipped. Luckily he was right there behind her. She pulled the keys out of her back pocket and began to try and make it fit in the whole. He laughed at her silently for a minute before helping her out.
"What key is it?" he asked her as he grabbed the keys from her hand.
"The ugly silver one!" she exclaimed holding her head.
He just laughed.
"They are all silver dear." he said looking at her.
"The one with the ugly house on it!" she said getting aggravated.
He found the one she was talking about and opened the door for her.
"There you go princess." he said opening the door for her.
"Walk me in please?" She asked him.
It was hard to say no so he followed her in and shut the door.
"Im going to make you a pot of coffee and run you a cold shower before I go." he said walking into her kitchen area.
He started the pot of coffee and walked into her bathroom and ran a cold shower. When he was done he walked back into the living room and saw her sitting in the chair.
"Come on." he said softly looking at her.
She got up with out an argument and walked slowly over to him. She just looked deep into his dark brown eyes and smiled.
"Thank you." she said almost unadudible.
"No problem." he said back in a whisper.
She looked down and then back up at him. Courtney stared as he stared back as she began leaning into him. She wanted this and deep down she knew he wanted this too. He saw her leaning and met her. His lips were placed on hers in a soft gentle way. He pulled away a moment later.
"You should take a shower." he whispered just inches away from her lips.
She didn't say anything but simply lifted her arms up as a signal for him to take her shirt off. Without hesitation he grabbed the bottom and slowly pulled it over her head as she stood there not moving. Courtney ran her fingers down his shirt unbuttoning every button she came across.
Courtney rubbed her hands up his stomach then chest and slowly took his shirt off of him. She wrapped her arms around his neck before kissing him and not pulling away. He put his hands on her waist and began walking to the bedroom. When they got there he laid her on the bed and slowly kissed down her body as he then unbuttoned her blue jeans and pulled them off.
He then stood up and unbuckled his belt as she laid on the edge of the bed waiting for him. When his pants hit the floor he stepped out of them and leaned back over the bed and began kissing her again...
