for sure.
A/N: Now why would people not be trusting Karissa? You all are starting to sound like Livvie, and that's scary. LOL. Until next time-ya'll are the best-PCGirl.

She sat in the restaurant with a bowl of fruit in front of her as she read the newspaper. She had asked if they could give her a United States newspaper, so she could keep up with what was going on. As she read through the fashion section she heard someone say her name. Looking up she just smiled, and went back to the paper.
"How are you doing this morning?" asked Melanie as she held the arm of her husband. "Clark, I'd like you to meet my cousin Elizabeth."
"Pleased to meet you," he said. Elizabeth could immediately tell he was British-which explained what Melanie was doing here. "Same here," she said looking up with a smile.
"You remember me telling you about Elizabeth, don't you? Of course, we called her Loveless Lizzy then," she said with a giggle. "Her mom dropped her off on our doorstep one night, saying she could care less where the girl ended up. I guess the name stuck, eh Lizzy? She's never found love, even her husband faked his own death to get away from her."
"How very sad."
"Well, we must be going. Please come by for dinner one night," said Melanie with a smirk as she walked off.
Elizabeth just sat there, staring off into space until the waiter came to ask her if everything was alright, "Actually, could you have this sent up to my room?" she said as she got up and decided to go back to the room for a bit.
---------
"I really should give you a job here if you're going to keep showing up like this."
"Ha ha, Jack."
"Aren't newlyweds usually with their spouses-not their ex's?"
"He's up to something Jack. This is big, and I don't like it."
"Alright, off the Caleb subject. Did you get Karissa over to the gym ok?"
"Yeah, when I got there Rafe still had a class going. All of a sudden I heard Alison screaming his name. It was loud enough for me to hear it in the gym."
"Was everything ok?"
"No. Caleb was standing over her bed, but Ian showed up and we both left. I think he paid off Karissa to come here."
"Sounds like something he would do."
"So what are we going to do about her?" she said as she tapped her water bottle on the bar.
---------
"Let's see what we have now," said Chris as he sat down in his chair and peered into the microscope. He had been home for only ten minutes, but was ready to get busy on research again. "Sure is quiet," he said, realizing that working with noise was better than nothing at all. "Well, we'll just turn on some music," he said flipping the button on the radio to hear some Jazz music come over.
He then went back to work, not hearing the footsteps behind him. The next thing he knew his hands were being covered by a pair of hands, "Elizabeth?" he said smiling. "Didn't know you had come back to town yet. Let me get this done, and we'll make dinner later, ok?" he said as the hands came off of his eyes. Turning around the smile on his face left when he saw Iris standing behind him.
----------
"I've been expecting you," said Caleb as he opened the door and had her walk in.
"You were right, he is alive. Do you want to explain that to me?" asked Karissa as she sat on the couch.
"It's a long story, and anyways that's not why I paid for you to fly out here. You are here to make him fall in love with you."
"You know who I really want though?" she said getting back up, and walking over to him. She got her mouth to his ear, and whispered, "I want you."
---------
"Livvie, I am going to do nothing about the problem."
"Jack, do you really want to see them break up?"
"No, I don't. But Rafe is a smart guy, if he has an idea that Karissa is working with Caleb he'll call both of them on it."
"Alison made Rafe promise the war was over. So if he does realize what's going on, who's to say that he's going to do anything about it?"
"Are you more worried about Karissa breaking up Rafe and Alison, or Alison breaking up you and Caleb?"
Livvie didn't say anything, just sat there, playing with the edge of her napkin.
---------
"Hello, Chris," she said with a smile stretching across her face.
"Iris, uhm hi. Are you done with the clothing for the day?"
"Well, yes I am," she said as she propped herself up on his table in front of him.
"Well, then what do you say you just mosey on out of here. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Actually, I was hoping that dinner date you just mentioned was good for me too."
"Sorry, I thought you were Elizabeth earlier. How did you get in here anyways?"
"She gave me a key, for when she would be late and you weren't here."
"Ahhh. Well, it was lovely to see you," he said getting out of the chair and beginning to escort her to the door. "Ta," he said closing the door. He looked around and saw a table and moved it in front of the door to make sure she didn't try and use her key again.
--------
"Sweet Karissa," Caleb said pulling her away from him. "You are definitely a jewel, but I can't take you as my bride. I'm already married, remember?"
"I know, it's just--," she said stopping and turning around.
"What is it?"
"It's just he's so-plain."
Caleb had to laugh, this girl was definitely smart, as well as sexy, "You only have to play with his emotions. Now, I need you to leave, but first-- ," he said giving her a kiss, then sending her on her way.
---------
"Are you going to answer me or not?" inquired Jack, as Livvie just kept playing with her napkin.
"It's not that I think she's going to ruin our marriage. It's just that sometimes she only thinks about herself."
"Sounds like someone else I know," he said as the phone began to ring. After the conversation he went back to Livvie, "I've got to go. Oh, and yesterday when you and Alison were acting friendly was actually nice to see- try not to ruin that moment."
----------
He stood in the shadow of the stairwell and waited. The waiting didn't take long though, only five minutes or so. When he was past the stairwell he stepped out and called him, "Caleb, we need to talk."
"Nice to see you've tried a new way of doing things. I never realized you were so sneaky as to wait for a man to leave his house. Oh wait, you already did that when you decided to visit Hell."
"You know what, you can go on thinking whatever you want. You can even think this baby Alison is carrying is yours, but we both know the truth- it's my child and you will never have a family. Not through Alison, not through Olivia-never."
"That hurts slayer," he said putting his hand over his heart to mock the man that stood before him. "But let me ask you this, do you think this child is yours? I mean if she was so willing to sleep with me, then who's to say she didn't sleep with-say Jack or possibly Jamal. She was after all, about to sleep with Joshua the night we came in and finished him off."
"Nice try, fang-boy, but it's not going to work. So I am going to ask you one last time-stay away from my wife and child. Because if you don't listen to me this time you'll regret it."
"What are you going to do? You can't kill me, remember?"
"I can kill something else precious to you-Olivia. And right now, as Alison is pregnant with a slayer you can't kill her. So, now you can go crawl under that rock you were going to-or wherever you bloodsuckers live now-and- days."
-----------
"Coming!" yelled Chris, as he heard the knock on the door. "Hold on, Jack," as he pushed the table out of the way.
"What were you doing just then, moving a table?" he said as the door opened.
"Well, yeah. That's why I need your help. I've got this woman who's been hitting on me lately."
"Elizabeth?"
"No, no-I wish it was her. It's Iris."
"Who is Iris?"
"A woman old enough to be our mother, Jack," he said as Jack started laughing. "I'm serious! This is a very difficult dilemma."
"I'm not exactly a hit man or anything now. What do you want me to do?" he said sitting down, and trying his hardest to be serious.
"Try and show her what a jerk I am, you are good at that, little bro'."
"Yeah, I am. So when will I meet this fine lady?"
"There's nothing fine about her, trust me."
A/N: Now why would people not be trusting Karissa? You all are starting to sound like Livvie, and that's scary. LOL. Until next time-ya'll are the best-PCGirl.
