~Chapter 4~ Paris
After Pilar left, I couldn't help but think back to when Theresa and Justin first met.
~Flashback~
Two years ago, at Gwen's wedding and mine, Justin LeDet found a maiden in distress in the garden on my estate. He couldn't comprehend why a beautiful girl like this would be crying so much. All he could think was that it was the cause of someone breaking her heart and he couldn't understand why anyone would want to break this lovely girl's heart. Also they must be very cold hearted to hurt her. Just one look at her any guy could see that she was a special girl. He was so lost in thought that he didn't even realize I had walked up behind him. My voice broke him out of thought.
I was staring at Theresa crying and my eyes were filling up with tears but I quickly wiped them away before I spoke, "I can see now why you are out here. I know what you're thinking and you are correct, who ever has hurt her should be hurt, and you don't know how bad he is hurting." I cast a gaze at Theresa, then quickly back at Justin to realize that he had fallen in love with Theresa. I now wanted to hurt him very badly for falling in love with my woman, but then I realized that I had just made the biggest mistake of my life in letting go of Theresa. How could I be so stupid to let go and hurt her so badly? Now I hated myself so much that I had to go to her but it was to late. Justin was with her. He was making her smile.
~ Flashback Ends ~
(Talking to myself) "I can't believe this! I am suppose to be the one to make her smile and laugh and make her dreams come true not him! It is suppose to be me not him!" "What is supposed to be you?" "This job that I was picked over for. I know I could do a whole better job than Justin could. He is no good for it." "I never heard you speak this passionately about anything like this before. What has gotten in to you? Where is this coming from? And what is that you are looking at?" I took the innovation and tried to hide it but it is too late Gwen has already seen it. "I can't believe it! This is what has gotten you so worked up; this is what you are talking about, not some stupid job but their wedding! Ethan are you not going to tell me what is going on! While Gwen was ranting I went up stairs to pack a bag. I didn't even hear a thing Gwen had said. I called to get the jet fueled up for a trip back to Harmony!
I had called Billie and she said that she wanted me to meet her at her house. I hadn't seen her in so long I was actually looking for to it. I knocked on the door. She answered it. And hugged me. "Roman! It's so good to see you. Come in?" I walked in. "So what's wrong, Billie? Austin said you that you thought someone was stalking you. Can I help?" She sat down on the couch. And patted it signing for me to sit down. "You know Paris can be very lonely with out someone." "Billie what are you talking about? Did you hear me." "I heard you. There is something you can do to help me…" "What is that? I'll do anything to help you." "Anything you really mean, anything. Do you really mean anything, Roman? Because there is something, I'll show you if you come with me to the my bedroom." "Billie, what's back there, that you have to show me?" "Can't you just wait for a little while. You know patience is a virtue." She smiled. "Very funny." She then started to lead me back to her room. When we go there she told me she had to go get something. I sat down on her bed. When she came out I was shocked and didn't know what to say. She was dressed in a piece of lingerie. Finally I spoke up, "Billie, what are you doing?" "Roman, do you remember when we slept together?" I got up off her bed. "Yes but what does that have to with you being stalked?" Then she looked like she got mad. "God! Roman how can you be so dumb. There is no stalker. I made that up to get you here. I've really missed you. I told you Paris was lonely." "Billie, I can't believe you would do that!" "Don't be mad. You're lonely too. I know you are." "Billie, I'm not anymore, I have someone. Someone who is really special to me. And that's why I have to leave. And please don't say anything." As I left Billie crying all I could do was think about Pilar.
Roman had called me and we had arranged to pick me up here. He said to dress up nice. It had taken me so long to get dress and I was so nervous. It had been so long since I had been on a date and I didn't know what to do or say. I wish I had Theresa here to help me get ready. I tried on at least twenty outfits before I found what I wanted to wear. When he knocked on the door, I thought I was going to jump out of my skin.
He told me I was beautiful. He took a rose out from behind his back. "Oh Roman, thank you." "Your welcome. Are you ready to go?" "Yes, just let me grab my purse." I grabbed my purse and then we left the room. As we left the phone rang.
As I took a walk through the park, I thought about Harmony and Sheridan. I had heard Luis and her got married. At first the news had upset me but then I realized that Luis was a great guy and that Sheridan deserved him. After their wedding I decided to leave Harmony, my family and everything else I was use to. I heard someone crying and looked over at a bench under this oak tree and there was this beautiful brunette sitting there and crying. I walked over to her and handed her a tissue. "Excuse me, ma but are you ok?" She looked up at me shocked. "I'm fine." She took the tissue and brushed off the tears. "Thank you, um..." "Hank, Hank Bennett." "Well thank you Hank Bennett. Why don't you sit down." I sat down next to her. "You sure you're all right, miss?" "I'll be fine and my name is Billie, Billie Reed." "Well nice to meet you Billie Reed. If you don't mind me asking but why is a beautiful girl like you crying?" "I just got my heart broken that's all." "Hey I know the felling…" Then my phone rang. "Excuse me a minute." I picked up my phone. "Hello?"
(This is this conversation) "Uncle Hank, it's Kay." She sounded a little uneasy. "Kay is everything alright?" "Not really…" "Kay what's wrong? Are you still upset about your losing your mother? I know you were upset last time I talked to you. Do you want me you want me to come there? I will Kay if you need me." "No Uncle Hank you don't have to come because I won't be there. I'm going away from here." "Where are you going?" "Where ever the train will take me probably to Salem. It's just about at far as I can afford to go." "Kay you can't leave Harmony." "I have to but you can't tell anyone I'm going and I'll promise I'll stay out of trouble. Please Uncle Hank?" I thought about it for a moment. I knew that there was no way Kay would give up on this. She was going to get away no matter what I did and Sam really didn't need any more pressure on him. Then I remembered John Black. He was a friend I had met. I knew him and his wife won't mind taking in Kay and plus he owed me a favor. "Kay, I won't tell anyone, I promise. Just promise me you'll be careful. Ok?" "I promise, thank you Uncle Hank. I love you." "I love you too Kay." When I put down the phone, I dialed John Black's phone number and told him about Kay.
