Shootout - Chapter 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brenda walks into Luke's and starts looking around. She wanted everything to be perfect for her engagement party that night. The place was already decorated and looked absolutely fabulous
Luke walks out from behind the counter
" Hey there gorgeous." says Luke with a smile
" Hey you! The place looks amazing." says Brenda as she kisses Luke on the cheek over the counter
" Well don't thank me. Thank Emily, Brooke Lyn, and Lulu. They all decorated it earlier this morning. Decor isn't really my speciality. I'd rather pour the drinks." jokes Luke
Brenda laughs
" Don't I know it. God, they did such a great job. It's even better than I pictured it." says Brenda as she sits on a barstool across from Luke
Luke is pouring himself a drink
" Madam?" says Luke as he offers her a drink
" Thank you." says Brenda as she takes it
" So, you look happy." says Luke with a small smile
Brenda smiles as one of her giggles escapes from her mouth
" Luke, I am deleriously, over the moon, happy. I don't think I've ever felt this way about anyone. Jason...he's really the one." says Brenda
" Well here's to you two, and to happy marriage for years to come." says Luke as he raises his shot glass
" I'll drink to that." says Brenda as they clink there glasses together
" God knows there needs to be ONE happy couple in Port Charles." says Luke before he takes his drink
Brenda laughs
" Amen to that." says Brenda as she drinks her's
Luke laughs as he watches her finish her shot quicker than he does
" You know, you are one of the only women that I know of, besides Carly of course, who can down a shot of Vodka straight up. I like that..." says Luke with a smile
" Damn straight." jokes Brenda
Jason walks into Luke's from behind Brenda and Luke
" Well, well, if it isn't the groom." says Luke as he raises his shot glass
" Luke was just getting me drunk." says Brenda with a smile as she turns around in her stool
Jason smiles
" We both know that it takes more than one shot to get you drunk. It would take two bottles at least." says Jason
Brenda playfully smacks him on his jacket as he stands up and wraps her arms around him
" That wasn't very nice." says Brends as she leans into him
" Who said anything about nice?" says Jason as he kisses Brenda passionately forgetting that Luke was standing there
Brenda and Jason laugh as Luke clears his throat from behind them
" Luke...thanks again for letting us use your place, man. We really appreciate it." says Jason as he shakes Luke's hand
" No problemo. Glad to do it. If you two will excuse me, I have to get back to the books in the back. But if you could check over this guest list one more time before tonight, that would be great." says Luke as he hands Brenda the clipboard
" Fun, fun." says Jason sarcastically as Luke makes his way to the back
Brenda gives him a look as they sit down at a table
" Sweetheart, no offense but don't you think you should be doing all of this planning stuff?" says Jason as he puts his arm around Brenda
Brenda makes a face as she ruffles his hair
" Come on, you don't even want to see who's coming?" says Brenda
" Sonny, Carly, & Micheal are coming. That's all I need to know. The rest you can choose." says Jason
" Ok well, Carly wasn't my choice, just so that's clear." says Brenda
" Carly's my friend, and we can't invite Sonny without Carly. It's a one packaged deal." jokes Jason
" I'm just saying that I promise nothing. If she get's in my face, this place will turn into a WWF match because she's always bringing up stuff that happend a million yea..." says Brenda stopping her rant because of Jason kissing her on the lips
Brenda looks up at him with a small smile when he let's her go
" What was that for?" says Brenda
" To shut you up." says Jason with a small grin
" Ah, it was one of those." jokes Brenda
" Yes, it was one of those. Which I'm sure there will be many more of in the future." says Jason as his cell phone rings
He looks at Brenda as they both make a face. The way they always did when his cell phone interrupted them, which was very often
Brenda goes back to the clipboard as Jason picks up the phone.
" Yeah, Morgan." says Jason
" Jason, it's Benny." says Benny
Jason puts his hand over the reciever
" Bren, I've gotta take this outside. It's business." says Jason
" Ok, just hurry back." says Brenda as she kisses Jason
Jason kisses her back as he tucks a piece of her hair behind her right ear. He goes out side and closes the door behind him
" Benny, did you check on what we talked about?" says Jason
" Yeah, there's going to be extra security at Luke's tonight. No one's coming in who's not invited. We can only spare eight guys." says Benny
" That's more than plenty. Plus Johnny, Max, and Marco since Sonny, Carly, and Micheal are gonna be here. Thanks alot Benny." says Jason
" No problem Jason. Oh and congradulations. Brenda's a great gal." says Benny
Jason smiles to himself
" Yeah she is. Thanks alot Benny." says Jason as he hangs up the phone
Jason looks through the window at Brenda looking at the clip board. He smiles as he realizes how lucky he was to finnaly get the girl of his dreams. He goes back inside as he kisses the top of her head as he looks over her shoulder
" You invited Edward?!" says Jason
" What?! Jason he is your grandfather." says Brenda as Jason sits down
" Hardly." says Jason
" Look, your just gonna have to deal with the Q's because there my family too. Knowing you you'll only speak to Sonny, Carly, and Micheal anyway." says Brenda
Jason laughs sarcastically, mocking Brenda's giggle. Suddenly, there are laughs coming from outside as Lulu and Brooke Lyn walk inside
" Hey you two!" says Brenda with a smile as she stands up and hugs them both
" Hey Bren. So? What do you think?" says Brooke
" It looks so amazing. Thank you guys so much for doing this. It was so sweet of you." says Brenda
" It was no problem, really. We knew you would be really busy today with the guest list and stuff so..." says Lulu
" Yeah, I've been really busy. With little help from this one over here." says Brenda referring to Jason
Jason stands as he wraps his arms around Brenda from behind her
" She's just saying that to be difficult. As always." says Jason
Brenda rolls her eyes as she puts her hands on his forearms
" We actually wanted to talk Bridesmaids dresses if you had time..." says Brooke as she gets out the book from the shopping back she was holding
" Oh yeah, the dresses. I totally and completely forgot." says Brenda
" Well that sounds...like a girl thing so I'm gonna get going. I have some things to take care of before tonight. So I'll see you at home?" says Jason as he puts his leather jacket back on
" Yep. I'll see ya." says Brenda as she kisses Jason
" Girls, thanks again for this. It really looks great." says Jason to Lulu and Brooke
Lulu smiles
" Your welcome." says Lulu as Jason walks out of Luke's
Brenda smiles
" So, let's see those dresses!" says Brenda as they all three sit down
