Hi everyone. I have returned from my long and miserable absence. Needless
to say life intervened and I couldn't write for a while and then I got
really depressed by the way the show is going. (If this keeps up I may quit
watching it). Anyway, I've decided to jump back into my psychotic pretend
world of fanfiction where I control all! Muhahaha! Ok, I'll quit being
weird and get on with the story.
Two Surprises For Skye
Skye quickly got into her car and grabbed the steering wheel. "Stop crying you twit!" She commanded herself. "Why do you let this man do this to you?" Tears rolled down her cheeks, she had long given up her battle in trying to stop them. "Pull yourself together now, it'll be okay." She wiped her eyes and put her car in gear and began the drive home.
Jax had run out after her and he watched her from a safe distance. He knew she was crying and it took every bit of will power he could muster not to run over and take her in his arms. He fought the urge; he knew she would be angry and embarrassed if he did. He watched her drive off. "This isn't over Skye, not by a long shot."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Will you watch where you're going you imbecile!" Edward shouted at the unfortunate young man who nearly ran over Skye on her way into the house.
"What is going on here?" Skye asked. The Quatermaine household was being overrun by caterers and florists. AJ was standing in a corner pouting and Ned wore a smile as he watched the scene with great amusement.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on here?" Skye asked again this time focusing the question on her brother.
"Grandfather's throwing a party."
"And this is why I had to hurry back here? To consult on decorations?" Skye asked still uncertain of the urgency of the situation.
"The party's for you." Ned offered, still grinning.
AJ stormed off suddenly leaving Skye more confused than ever.
"Junior's a little jealous. You can't really blame him. It seems you're the favourite right now and you know how sensitive junior is; he's not taking it well."
"Favorite! What the hell is going on here? It's like I left and came back to a completely different universe."
Before Skye could get an answer to her question Edward descended on her.
"Skye, my dear, didn't I mention the party to you? It's just a small welcome home get together. I took the liberty of having Petra get you something to wear. Its upstairs you may want to start getting ready, the guests will be arriving soon."
Before Skye could utter a word she had been rushed upstairs and into her room, where she found a dress lying on the bed as Edward had said.
"Will the craziness in this house ever end?" Skye asked aloud.
Meanwhile downstairs
"There's something going on here that might interest you and you might want to dress up."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Quatermaine house was soon filled with the crème de la crème of the New York business world and social scene. Edward was being uncharacteristically nice to Skye and though she was growing more and more suspicious by the second she choose to play along and wait for Edward to show a little more of his hand before she said anything.
The party wasn't turning out to be too horrible. She was making some valuable business contacts and for the most part enjoying herself but she found her head was filled with thoughts of Jax no matter how hard she tried to remove them.
Skye looked around, trying to find a waiter for another sparkling cider. She caught a glimpse of a familiar face and her mouth fell open slightly before becoming an immense smile.
"What are you doing here?" She asked, still smiling.
"I believe I was invited." He answered with a smile matching hers.
"Forgive me for forgetting my manners, I was just a little surprised to see you here. How have you been, it's been quite a while." "Yes it has been Skye and I've been quite well. But you my dear seem very happy to be home. It's nice seeing you in your natural habitat."
"Believe me this is not my natural habitat. Did you just arrive? I didn't see you come in."
"I've been here for a while. I wanted to talk to but your grandfather has been monopolizing your time. And here he comes again."
As if on cue, Edward began walking towards the two.
"Skye I see you've meet Evan."
"Actually Mr. Quartermaine, Skye and I are old ah. acquaintances from Paris."
"Really. I had no idea that you knew each other. Skye you never told me you knew Evan Chambers."
"Well I hardly had time to tell you anything Grandfather. By the way I do believe I saw Reginald on the way into the kitchen with a mouth filled with caviar."
"Why that thieving snake. Excuse me Evan I'll be back shortly." Edward said scampering off to scold Reginald.
"Don't you feel sorry for the poor domestic you wrongfully accused?"
"Reginald can handle himself, besides I thought we could use some time alone."
"My dear I would relish some 'alone time' but that might be a little difficult seeing as we're in a crowded room."
Skye blushed slightly "I meant to catch up but I can see you haven't changed."
"And you are even more radiant than I remembered."
"Flattery will get you everywhere Mr. Chambers.
"I'll remember that Miss. Quartermaine."
"Now seriously what brings you here?"
"To this corner of the world or to your family home?"
"Both."
"Well I was in New York on business when I heard the Quartermaines were throwing a party for their prodigal daughter. I couldn't help but attend."
"Well it's nice to see a friendly face, they're few and far between in this house. How long will you be in town?"
"It depends. I might be staying awhile."
"We should get together then, catch up on old times."
"How about dinner tomorrow night?"
"Dinner sounds lovely."
"I think it's about time I let you get back to your guests and in particular the gentleman who hasn't stopped staring at us since I first started speaking to you."
Skye turned around and saw Jax standing in a corner staring at her and Evan.
"That's my ex husband. I really should introduce you since he's practically reading our lips but I'd really prefer to avoid him so how about I give you a tour of the gardens instead."
"I think I'd like to see the gardens." Evan replied taking Skye by the hand.
The two maneuvered their way through the crowded room and out into the garden with a determined Jasper Jax trailing them.

I know its kind of and abrupt end but I want some response on this chapter first. I've already started the next chapter so all I need from you is some reviews and it should be up by next week.
