Chapter Two

Sky's Apartment

"Bill, bill, bill, junk, junk, junk, innovation, trash, trash." Skye said to herself as she walked trough her entryway. She hated living alone. She never had anyone to talk too. By now, she should be use to it but she wasn't. She pulled out the innovation that was at the bottom of the stack. It was a beautiful innovation, the envelope was gold and the card itself was ivory with a gold border. However, when she read whom it was from, tears sprung to her eyes. 'You are cordially invited to the wedding of Mr. Jasper Jax and Ms. Carly Benson - Spencer.' Well that didn't take long now did it. He waited maybe a month before he went off to find someone to save and be her white knight. Dammit.

They wanted her to come to the wedding. That was funny. She most likely wouldn't even go. She really didn't want to but she maybe she should. It would show people that she was strong and that she didn't need Jax. She could handle everything and anything that would swerved her way without alcohol.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed a familiar number. "Hello, Coleman. I have this wedding to go to. Would you like to be my escort?"

"Sure baby. What's the date."

"In about a week. Are you free."

"Yeah. Okay, I'll see you then."

"Okay .Bye."

"Bye."

She loathed the man but whom else could she call. She was going to this wedding but she wouldn't be going alone. That was for damn sure. She wonders if she should call A.J. to see if they were coming and maybe she would even call Jason. They had formed a somewhat rocky relationship but she was close to Gia.

She picked up and called A.J. first. Courtney answered on the third ring. "The Quartermaine residents" She said in her tiny voice. The two women had become good friends since she had married A.J. Skye was there when Courtney had the baby and was there when she brought little Tommy home. She loved the little boy so much that it hurt some times.

"Hello. How is my favorite mother and child doing."

"Well the child is doing great but the mother is a little tried."

"Those terrible two's."

"Yes. Now that he can walk, he gets into everything."

"I bet he does. As much as I love talking about Tommy." Which she did. All her CO-workers would know about the latest thing he did or said. He was the first thing that she would talk about in the morning and the last thing that she talked about. She longed to have a child some day but knew it was impossible. "Did you guys get a innovation to Carly and Jax's wedding."

"Um. yeah. I was getting ready to call you. I know you must be hurting over this. I mean had has been just a little over a month that the divorce paper were even final."

"Yeah well you know. So are you guys going."

"Well my brother is so I figured we would. Are you?"

"Yeah. I mean I want to show everyone that I don't need alcohol to face my problems."

"You know what I think, you should go and enjoy yourself at that. Show all those people that you don't need that crap to help you and to make you happy. You can be happy all n your own."

"That is my plan. I am bringing Coleman."

"You know you could do better."

"Yeah, maybe but sure in the hell on such short notice. So how is Sonny taking the information?" Skye asked, trying to change the subject.

"He doing okay with the news. From what I heard Jason and Gia are helping him out with this mess."

"You call your ex-sister-in-law getting married to your ex-brother-in-law a mess. Shame on you Courtney Quartermaine. " Skye teased. In the back round, she heard her little Tommy cries. "I better let you go tend to Tommy."

"Yeah I better. I want you to call if you need anything at all. You understand."

"Yes mommy."

I love you."

"I love you to."

Bye."

"Bye and tell A.J. I said hi."

"Will do."

With that, Skye disconnected the Phone. She really wanted to call Gia but from what Courtney told her she had her hands full helping Sonny with this. She would just have to deal with this on her own. It sure in hell it wouldn't be the first time she had dealt with something hard by herself.

God what she wouldn't do for a stiff drink. No she scolded herself. You do not need alcohol to deal with this. She could get through with this. She would get through with this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day Skye knew she wanted a dress so sexy, that she would bring down every man to his knees. Therefore, she called Gia. Gia and her went to the new place in town. When she walked up to the front window, she knew she had found the perfect dress. It was deep lavender. It had very, very low neckline, It plunged to her navel. It was floor length but it had a slit on each side that went up to her thigh.

"Gia, that is the dress."

"You think so."

"Yessssssss. Let's go try it on." Skye ran into the shop. It had been along time since she had wanted to dress sexy for a man. She saw the young clerk. "Miss. I want the dress that is in the window."

"Oh. Okay, hold on one moment while I go get it."

"Thank you."

The clerk came back with the dress. Skye went to the dressing room to try it on. The dress was made of silk. She pulled off her cloths and put the dress on. What she didn't notice about the dress in the window was that it had no back. It hugged her curves and made her look very sexy. It was a perfect match with her skin tone. "This is it." She whispers to herself.

"Come on Skye. I want to see it on you."

"Okay here I come."

When she came out the look on Gia face was priceless. Skye at that moment wished she had a camera handy. She knew she look sexy but not sexy enough to leave some one speechless.

"Wow, I am totally speechless. You look great. All you need now is a belly button ring and a tattoo for your back."

"You think so. I like both of those ideas. Let's pay for the dress and then we can go."

"Hey, I was only suggesting it. I didn't mean it."

"No I want it to get both of those things. I have a week so it will all be ready to go by the wedding."

"Skye..are you sure."

"Yep. I have never been more sure of anything in my life."
