"So, I guess that we're playing the 'lynch mob' on this one?" Patrick sighed.
"If you want to. I just don't think that it is appropriate for Noah to be talking about her the way that he was." Anna said looking between Robin and Patrick.
"Hello! I'm standing right here!" Tabitha cried, waving her arms around wildly.
"What's going on here?" Noah asked, coming off of the elevator.
"Why were you talking about Tabitha this morning while you were having coffee with Robin's mother?" Patrick asked, folding his arms in front of his chest.
"Not that it is any of your business, but I was telling Anna that Tabitha never came home last night and I was concerned. Then I found out that you were with her. And I became even more concerned. You have been restless since you and Robin split. I can't believe that the two of you went out last night. Patrick, you took her to Jake's and let her get totally and hopelessly drunk. Not to mention you yourself got completely bombed as well. Then I suppose the two of you just happened to fall asleep on the couch? What the hell were you thinking? I'm the one who has to deal with Eli if he get's word of this, not you. Although, I probably will send him your way if anything happens to her." He said, then turned to Tabitha, "And you, I expected a little more class from you. Why would you, of all people, hang out with someone who's just looking fro a way to get back at Robin? I think you've done quite well, I might add." Noah said, accusingly.
"Noah, nothing happened. I told you that. Patrick slept in his bed while I slept on the couch. Where he placed me when we got there. Right before I passed out."
"You shouldn't have gone to Jake's with him. You could have gone to the Metro Court to celebrate or come home. I would have been happy to celebrate with you." Noah said.
"Weren't you with Anna last night? The two of you seem to be attached at the hip." Tabitha accused.
"Whether or not I had Anna over last night has nothing to do with it. I'm sure that Anna would have been happy to celebrate with us." Noah insisted.
"Well, actually, I support your decision to move to the Metro Court." Anna said.
"Anna, I told you that it wasn't an option." Noah sighed.
"Well, if you really feel that way, I will move to the Metro Court and get out of your way." Tabitha said, narrowing her eyes.
"Miss Love-Granger, take these charts to Dr. Lee, please." Epiphany said dropping a pile of charts in front of Tabitha.
"Right away, Nurse Johnson." Tabitha said automatically.
With one last glare at Anna and Noah, Tabitha walked away from the Nurse's station to go to Dr. Lee's office. When she got there, Dr. Julian had been there to 'talk' with Dr. Lee. Tabitha knocked on the office door and waited for a response.
"If you ware waiting for Dr. Lee to open that door, you are going to be waiting for a while." Said Kate, pushing a cart full of food down the hall.
"Nurse Johnson sent me with some charts for Dr. Lee." Tabitha said.
"Well, just leave them on the door in that little box. She'll get them when she's ready to." Kate said a little snippily.
"Thank you. I hope I can remember that for the future." Tabitha replied. Tabitha left the charts on the door, and went on her way.
At the end of the day, Tabitha went back to the apartment to change into the appropriate clothing to go to the Metro Court. To meet with Noah. She also packed up her stuff to move it to the Metro Court. Where she would rent a room rather that go head to head with Anna again.
Once at the Metro court, Tabitha went to the desk to check in.
"Hello, I would like a room if you have one." Tabitha smiled.
"Right away. What name is this room going to be under?" The concierge asked.
"Tabitha Love-Grange." Tabs replied.
"Excellent. How does room 756 sound? It has a wonderful view of the port." He smiled.
"Perfect. Here's my card. Just charge it." Tabitha replied, handing him her credit card.
"Right away, Miss." He said handing her the key to the room.
Tabitha took the key and pick up her bags. She headed up to the seventh floor to go to her newly rented room. She put her bags down by the sofa and went up to the top floor, where the restaurant/bar is to wait for Noah if he wasn't there already.
"Is Noah Drake here?" Tabitha asked a waiter, as she stepped off of the elevator.
"Yes, Miss. He's waiting on the balcony for you." He replied. Tabitha walked out to the balcony to find Noah standing there with a glass of water in his hand.
"Hey."
"Hey. I wasn't sure if you were going to come after the last conversation that we had." Noah answered.
"I promised that I we would talk, so here I am. I rented a room here. Would you prefer to go there?" Tabs questioned.
"I think I would feel a lot more comfortable there. No temptation that way." Noah laughed. They went to the elevator to go down to Tabitha's room.
"Wait, where are you going? You haven't had anything to eat yet." Carly Jacks pleaded walking out of the elevator.
"We are going to call room service. We have a lot to discuss." Tabitha said as they got on the elevator.
"What room? I'll send down some champagne." Carly suggested.
"No champagne. Do you have apple cider or even some sparkling grape juice?" Tabitha questioned.
"Actually, we have sparkling cider and sparking grape juice." Carly replied.
"Can you send some of that instead?" Tabitha questioned.
"Of course. Any special dinners that you would like me to send down?" Carly asked.
"No thank you. The cider will be just fine. I'm in room 756." Tabitha replied as Carly let go of the doors.
Noah and Tabitha got to Tabitha's room and he noticed the bags of clothes and other possessions.
"Tabitha, why did you really rent this room?" Noah questioned.
"Noah, I move out of your apartment. I didn't think it was right for me to stay there anymore. We aren't seeing eye to eye on things at the moment, so I feel awkward and like I'm taking advantage of your kindness or of the sense of duty that you feel by taking me in when my uncle left me in Port Charles." Tabitha sighed.
"You would never be a burden to me, Tabitha. No matter what. There was no reason for you to move out. There is nothing between me and Anna." Noah admitted, moving a lock of hair behind Tabitha's ear.
"Noah, I can't take that chance. We…always find something to argue about. I don't want to fight anymore. I moved out so that we would have a chance…I know that there is nothing going on between you and Anna. I just can't be in the middle anymore, though. We need to work things out. Not for Anna, not for Patrick. For ourselves. Noah, when I was at Jake's with Patrick, I realized something that I should have recognized a while ago. I'm in love with you. That's why I moved out. It hurt to fight wit h you. It broke my heart when I saw you with Anna all of the time. I just couldn't bear it anymore." Tabitha cried, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Tabby, I want you to be happy. I love you, too. I would do anything not to see you hurt again." Noah whispered, wiping tears from Tabitha's cheeks and eyes. Noah kissed Tabitha passionately. That night, Noah didn't return to his apartment. He stayed with Tabitha at the Metro Court, where the two had a romantic evening, complete with sparkling cider that Carly had sent to her room.
