CHAPTER 4

The car ride to the cabin was quiet. Johnny never even took a glance at Lulu. She wondered what the real reason for his behaviour was. Were there any problems in the business? 'Whatever' Lulu thought. She kept thinking about Josh. This was probably the first time she ever left his side for more than half an hour. She wondered how Jason was handling it. He is probably running around the house trying to keep everything together. But on some level she was relieved she was leaving for a couple of days. She wouldn't have to worry about waking up early to make breakfast and keeping the house together. It was just her and Johnny. At their cabin. Alone.

"We're here." Johnny said as he parked the car. Lulu made out the cabin in the dark. It was just as beautiful as before. Johnny smiled as he remembered that day. It would have been rather interesting if it wasn't for the old man who came to kick them out and Lulu still being Logan's on-and-off girlfriend. Never the less, it didn't matter anymore. Lulu was his wife and nobody was going to take her away from him.

Lulu sighed as she made her way to the door. She thought about how everything was going to work out with her and Johnny. Was he actually willing to work on their marriage or was it another line that came from his mouth to calm her down. 'Shut up, Lulu. You are being a total idiot.' Lulu's inner voice got to her. She shook her head in agreement. "I so am being an idiot." She mumbled under her breath.

"What was that?" Johnny asked as he walked to the door where she was. Lulu thanked god he didn't hear her, it would be quiet a funny conversation if she said she gives advice to herself.

Lulu gave a nervous laugh. "Oh. Nothing." Johnny just nodded. He unlocked the door to the cabin with his key and opened it. Lulu didn't move. She just stared point blank into it. Johnny smirked at her.

"You know Lu. I had ghost removers here to scare ghosts away from the cabin, I doubt there are any left. So you can go in, you know, unless the real reason is that you're afraid you might do something that you'll claim to regret but really you would have thanked god you did."

Lulu glared at him for his sarcasm. Boy. Was he going to pay for undermining her like that. She had the perfect solution to tick him off. She walked her way in and plumped her purse a jacket on the couch. She turned back around and made her way out to meet Johnny who was leaning into the doorway and had a grin on his face knowing Lulu would most likely try to make this 'getaway' the worst idea ever.

"Give me the keys." Lulu said as she lifted hill had her arm into the air and opened her hand flat. Johnny stared at her slightly confused. "I said give me the keys." She repeated. Johnny went into his jacket pocket and pulled out a set of keys and put them into Lulu's hand. Lulu smirked.

"Lulu, 'dear', you told me to give you the keys. And I did." Johnny said as he grinned. Lulu sighed with her hand still in the air.

"Not those keys. Car keys." Johnny smirked.

"What for?" He asked. Lulu put her hand down.

"I want to see the stuff you packed for me." She said.

"Don't worry, Lu. I am sure you'll wear them."

"Johnny give me the damn keys or I am so going to hitch hike my way back to Port Charles." Lulu said as she tried to maintain a straight face. Johnny at first was confused but then he just let go of it. He took the keys from Lulu's hand and drew out another set of keys from his pocket. He handed them to Lulu. Lulu smirked as she made her way to the drivers side of the car. Johnny's confusion returned.

"Lu. Your stuff is in the trunk." He called from the doorway as she got into the car and turned it on. He made his way to the passenger side to have Lulu lock the doors. Johnny came to realization of what was happening.

"Lulu. Get out of the car right now!" He yelled. Lulu gave a satisfied smile on her face. She opened the car window only an inch so he could hear her.

"Make me." She said.

"Lulu. Don't do that." He said as he watched her put the car in gear.

"Don't do what? Drive the car? But, baby, I thought since we're married, everything that belongs to you also belongs to me." She said sarcastically.

"Lulu. Get out of the damn car!" He yelled again.

"Someone is very cranky, today." She smirked.

"Lulu. I am not playing any games."

"You know, when Josh does something wrong, I take away his favourite toy until he learns his lesson. I guess the same applies for you."

"Lu." Johnny said pointing at her. Lulu smirked. She buckled her seatbelt. She pressed her foot on the gas heading straight into a large tree. She could hear the metal crushing but she still wasn't over. Johnny stared in disbelief as he saw Lulu reverse the car and crash into the tree again. This time he heard glass shatter and the saw the car smoke. Johnny ran towards the car and came to the driver's door. There he found Lulu with a very satisfied look on her face. He unlocked the door and took the seatbelt off of Lulu.

"What do you think you are doing?" Lulu asked.

"Obviously, you want to get me angry. That is exactly what you got." Lulu got out of the car and walked back towards the house.

"You deserved what you got. I would be more than happy to do it again. Just need a new car under your name." She said as she went into the house. Johnny was hot on her heels. She went up the stairs and made her way into, what looked like to her, the main bedroom. She tried to closed the door to the room but Johnny pushed it open.

"Did you not hear me? You deserve what I did to your car. You deserve everything bad that comes your way!" She shouted being frustrated.

"What is wrong with you Lulu? One minute you're happy, the next you're finding a way to get me mad."

"What is wrong with me? You. Everything you do."

"Lulu. What did I do wrong?"

"Forgot the fact you have to throw everything in my face!" She shouted.

"Are you talking about what happened earlier? Lulu! It was a joke!"

"To you everything is a joke. I guess your family is a joke."

"You and Josh are the most important things in my life."

"Things! Johnny we are people. Every time, Josh or I get a chance to be with you, you always have to let something interfere. Never mind the fact that you throw thousands of promises around."

"You're upset because I had to leave Jason's today."

"Yes. But I am angrier with the fact that you don't open up to me anymore. I feel like stranger than a wife to you."

"Lulu. There are some things I can't tell you."

"What, Johnny. You don't trust me now! Wait, let me guess, I will go to the police and tell them everything if me and you get into a fight."

"Lulu. You know that isn't true."

"But you were thinking it, weren't you? 'Oh, that Lulu, she will want to ruin my life because she is the sister of Port Charles famous mob enforcer and because she doesn't care'. Well, you know what. If I didn't care I wouldn't be fighting for this marriage. If I didn't love you I wouldn't be here fighting for you."

"Lulu. Drop this."

"I am going to drop it. I am fed up with it. I'm done with you, with everything." She said as her eyes began to fill up with tears.

"What do you mean you're done with me and everything?"

"Johnny. Who are we trying to kid? We owe it to ourselves to end this. If not for our sake for our little boy's."

"To end what, Lulu?" Johnny asked hoping to god he wouldn't hear what he was thinking what she was going to say.

"Our marriage." Lulu said.

"You don't mean that?"

"I think it is best for the both of us." Lulu said as she wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"No it isn't the best thing! I love you and I know you love me too."

"I wouldn't be here if I didn't. But if our love is going to destroy our lives and most important, our son, I would rather die than watch it do destruction."

Johnny's heart pounded wildly in his chest as she pinned him with a look of such love and hurt that he, for a second, thought that she was through with him but the thought left him immediately as he pulled her close and planted his lips on hers and she didn't push him away.

She nibbled his lip as he revelled in the softness of her mouth against his. Johnny hesitantly broke the kiss. He searched her eyes until he found what she, including him, was longing for.

"Are you sure?" He asked as he gently pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. Lulu nodded in approval. Johnny took her hand and gently glided his lips over her fingers. He found his way back to her lips, feeling a passionate desire. He backed them slowly to the bed and they both collapsed on it. Lulu captured Johnny's lips. And they carried on that way – kissing passionately - for several minutes, until they'd reached a point where she was straddling him, and he fingering the bottom of her shirt. She moaned as she felt his touch on her lower abdomen. He pulled her shirt over her shoulders, never taking his eyes off of hers.

Her hands fell into place at the bottom of his shirt, and he sat up just enough for her to lift it over his head. Her fingers skimmed over his abs, and she peppered kisses across his chest before moving back up to his mouth. Johnny groaned and immediately starting on nipping her ears, neck, and the rise of her breasts. He reached behind her back to tug the black, lacy material away and tossed it to the building pile on the ground. Lulu's hands gently glided over Johnny's back. His hands roamed down her sides and over her hips, meeting at the button Lulu's jeans and deftly undoing them, pulling the zipper down and ridding her gorgeous body of them. "Beautiful." He murmured, facing a matching pair of black lace briefs. She unbuttoned Johnny's jeans as he kicked them off.

His thumbs latching under the seam of her briefs, he pulled the garment down her legs steadily, taking in the beautiful sight revealed with every extended moment. Her small hands found the elastic waist of his roomy boxers and she removed the last piece of fabric separating them from their impending bliss. Feeling his hard warmth against her inner thigh, Lulu's breath hitched, her hands traveling up his torso, over his straining chest, which rose and fell with the effort of holding back his primal desire. With one last significant gaze, he thrust into her, her body now slick with arousal. Gasping at the pleasurable fullness she felt with him inside her, she dug her nails into his shoulders as he started to move, a slow sinuous rhythm, enjoying the smooth heat of her walls. Their pace quickened, Lulu rising to meet his every deep thrust. Sweat began beading on the arch of his brow. Johnny angled her hips to drive their passion, impaling further into her. She let out a strangled moan, their feverish rhythm steering her to completion yet again. "Lulu…" he cried out loudly, unbearable tension building inside him.

He pounded into her. She clung desperately to his shoulders as spasms of pleasure overtook her body. She writhed uncontrollably beneath him while attempting to stifle her scream, entirely at the mercy of his manhood. Feeling her walls contract around him, he thrust into her deeply, lushly, brutally, sending him into his own orgasm. Yelling in bliss, ecstasy flooded his entire being as he remained within the heat of her welcoming body. They lay together, gasping for oxygen, safe and fulfilled. Johnny gazed down at the beautiful, breathless woman pinned beneath him, her eyes still closed, soaking in the consuming sensation of completion. Smiling brilliantly, he closed his eyes and pressed a loving kiss upon her sweaty hairline. Eyelids flickering open, Lulu lifted a soft hand to Johnny's face..

"Johnny." Johnny looked to her. "I am sorry for what I said earlier. I don't know what got into me." Johnny kissed her temple.

"There was no way I was going to let you walk away like that."

"There is no way I will. I love you too much to give you up."

"I love you, too. You are the light in my life." Johnny turned them over and wrapped his arms around Lulu. She eventually fell asleep with Johnny taking in every detail of her from head to toe.

"Yes. Penthouse 6."

"So what is so important in there?"

"You said you needed something to get an upper hand on Johnny Zacchara, what better than the little blondie he calls his wife?"

"Are you sure? He is your brother after all."

"Well, daddy made his wishes clear. I am to run Zacchara Organization and Johnny is supposed to lose what's important to him." Claudia said with a smug look.

"But how about his kid?"

"Don't touch the kid. A child can never be replaced, but a wife, fortunately, can."

"Why is it you are this angry?"

"Lets just say, I don't take rejection very well."

"So what happened?"

"Never mind me. You got a task. Go tend to it."

"Yes. Miss Zacchara."
