Chapter 6: Forbidden

A couple of weeks after Ransik captured Kimberly and that Kimberly escaped him and how weak she grew from feeling his anger, Lucas had decided to try and pursue a relationship with her. Even though, he knew that Jen would forbid it.

One day, Lucas had taken the boys to the racetrack. Both boys were wanting to try motocross for a long time now, so he was gong to show the boys about the racing and motorcycles. "Thanks again for doing this, Lucas," Hunter commented.

"No problem, you guys should be able to have some fun too," Lucas assured them.

Both boys nodded and then Lucas watched as the boys went off to their first lesson on riding the motorcycles. As Lucas watched Kimberly's boys started to learn how to ride, his mind wandered back to Kimberly. Thinking of the conversation he had with Kimberly when she started feeling better.

(Flashback)

Kimberly was leaning against the wall when Lucas came up to the loft. "I brought you something to eat," he informed.

"Thanks, Lucas, I'm not really hungry right now," Kimberly informed.

Lucas set the tray down and sat across from her. "You're thinking about him again, aren't you?" He asked.

"Of course I think about Tommy. He's the father of my child," Kimberly replied.

Lucas nodded as he watched her lean against the wall and looked out the window. "Kimberly, it won't heal if you keep doing this," Lucas commented.

"Lucas, if you think it's easy to forget your first love, then you never know what it was like to fall in love," she mumbled.

Lucas knew that Kimberly didn't want to talk to him now that he said something like that to her. "Kimberly, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that," he apologized. Tears fell down Kimberly's face.

"Where is he, Lucas? Why won't he answer my letters? Why can I find him?" She asked.

Lucas sighed as he walked over and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I don't know, Kim, I really don't know," he replied. Kimberly placed her head on his shoulder in tears. Lucas sighed as he gently hugged her. "Everything's going to be okay," he assured her.

(End Flashback)

Lucas looked up as the boys finished their lesson. "You guys ready to go?" He asked. The boys nodded and Lucas led the boys back to the clock tower.

Jen was sitting at the table waiting for Lucas. Her blood was boiling after what she learned what Lucas was planning on doing. "Hey, Jen," he greeted. He watched as Hunter went to get his sisters before heading home.

"Lucas, I want to talk to you," she informed.

Lucas followed Jen to an isolated place to talk. "Lucas, want are you doing?" She asked.

"I was taking the boys out for their first motocross lesson," he replied.

"No, you're trying to get close to Kimberly. Are you crazy?" Jen asked.

"I really like her, Jen. She's a great person."

"She has a future, Lucas. That future is with Tommy Oliver, not Lucas Kendall."

"What are you saying, Jen? Just because I want to date Kimberly, doesn't mean it's going to ruin her future with Tommy."

"IT WILL! Lucas..."

Jen stopped and placed her hand on her forehead before continuing to speak. "Lucas, if she dates you, it could change her mind about wanting to be with Tommy again. If that happens, then her future is going to be all messed up," Jen explained.

"What business is it of yours to butt into my love life?" Lucas asked.

"Because, Kimberly's future with Tommy is what makes Kylie become the successful person she is."

"She can still be that successful person."

"No, not without her parents being together. She needs them both for her to get as far as she got."

Jen then looked Lucas straight in the eye. "Lucas, I forbid you to even think about dating Kimberly Hart. That is an order," she ordered. Lucas stared at Jen in the face before walking away.

That evening, Lucas drove up to the park and saw Kimberly watching the older play with Kylie. "Hey, Kim," he greeted. Kimberly smiled.

"Hey, Lucas," she greeted back.

Lucas smiled as he walked over and sat next to her. "They just love playing on that playground huh?" He asked.

"Well, more Kylie than the others, they love playing with her though," she replied.

Lucas smiled and watched as Blake picked Kylie up and had her sitting on his back as he ran around the playground with her on his back. "Lucas, I want to thank you," Kimberly started.

"For what?" He asked.

"For comforting me when I needed comfort. You took my boys out to fulfill their dream. I thank you for that."

Lucas smiled and kissed her cheek. "You're welcome," he answered. Kimberly smiled and looked out at her kids again. "Kimberly, I've been wondering, would you like to join me for dinner Saturday?" He asked. Kimberly looked at him.

"You mean like a date?" She asked.

"Well...we don't have to call it that," he replied.

Kimberly sighed as she looked in her lap. However, she had to start to move on a bit. She needed to have someone to be with. Not knowing that Lucas was defying Jen's orders. "I'd love to," she replied.
