"Let me get this straight, you've lost nearly two years of memories?" Todd paraphrased what John had just told them. Evangeline simply nodded. "Well that's good for me, we were friends back then. Oh but I guess that sucks for you," Todd directed to Cristian who stood near the fireplace with his arms folded across his chest, glaring at Todd. "She didn't even know you back then, because you were in prison being somebody's bitch."

"I don't see how you can think any of this is good Todd." Evangeline frowned as she looked to the man seated to her left on the sofa.

"You're right, I'm sorry." He responded as he reached out and tugged on a lock of her hair. "I'm really sorry you lost your memories sweetie."

"Will you ever get them back?" Cristian asked as he stared at her with a look that made her uncomfortable.

"I don't know, my doctor didn't seem too confident that I would." She answered honestly. "May I ask why you're here Cristian, I mean I get why John and even Todd are here. Todd's a close friend and frequently a client, and John's my boyfriend. Well at least in my mind's eye." Todd threw his head back and laughed outright.

"Right, cause two years ago you two were in couplesville. Oh this just gets better and better."

"Shut up Todd," Cristian warned.

"Hey don't get mad at me because Evangeline forgot you were her Latin lover." Todd said with a chuckled as Evangeline's eyes doubled in size and her hand shot out and grasped John's, who sat to her right on the sofa.

"Knock it of Manning." John warned him again.

"Why she has every right to know the truth. You two were hot and heavy," He continued as he pointed between Evangeline and Cristian. "Until he dumped you because he was jealous of your relationship with me." Todd explained and Evangeline was left feeling even more baffled.

"You were putting moves on her Todd, every chance you got." Cristian exclaimed his anger flaring. "Even though you knew she was with me."

"Yeah well, she's hot. If you don't want guys going after your girl, then you should get an ugly girlfriend," Todd threw out with and cocky smile. "But seriously I had feelings for her and she had them for me. You just couldn't stand the competition." He said as he picked at his nails in a nonchalant manner. Evangeline again shot panicked eyes to John, who could see that she was becoming overwhelmed. "Besides aren't you with my niece Sarah now?"

"Shut the hell up Todd," Cristian yelled as he took a step forward.

"I think you two need to go now." John said as he stood and maneuvered himself in between the two men.

"Why, so you can worm you way back in, like you've been trying to do ever since she dumped you?" Todd asked, as he made no move to leave.

"Todd you're a jackass, and you're really not helping Evangeline right now. You're only upsetting her. Her mom and sister will be back here any moment, you really want to hang around and explain to them why Evangeline's so upset?" John said and Todd openly cringed a bit at the thought of being on the receiving end of the wrath of the Williamson women.

"Fine, I have to pick up my boys anyway, but I'll check back in on you later." Todd stated as he leaned in and kissed Evangeline's temple.

"Your 'boys'?" She question as he pulled back.

"Long story, I'll tell you about it later." He replied and then threw her a wink before he stood up and walked to the door. "Come along Lurch," He threw out as he passed Cristian on his way out the door.

"Can I come back later?" Cristian asked with pleading eyes.

"We should probably discuss some things. I mean there's a lot I obviously don't know, and I really want to know…I think, but not today." She said hoping he'd understand and not push the issue. He bowed his head a bit and nodded.

"Just call me when you're ready." He offered and then turned and followed Todd's trek out the door. When the door shut Evangeline collapsed back against the sofa into a fit of laughter, and John couldn't help but to chuckle a bit himself as he watched her merriment.

"You think this is funny?" He asked around a smile. Her laughing wouldn't allow her to speak so she nodded her head. It took her a few seconds to calm before she could speak again.

"Oh my God, Todd Manning 'and' Cristian Vega?" She threw out in a winded voice. "Apparently I was a very busy woman after I kicked you to the curb." She said jokingly with a giggle.

"Yeah well everybody wants Evangeline," He proclaimed with a smile, as he looked from her eyes down to her lips and back to her eyes again.

"Yeah seems like…well everybody 'except' the person Evangeline wants." She threw out casually and then instantly regretted it. "I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable."

"Do I look uncomfortable?" He replied and then leaned back further on the sofa as if to validate his words.

"No, but I promised myself I wouldn't impose my feelings for you, onto you. I mean I'm still very attracted to you and since you don't feel that way anymore I have to respect that."

"Who told you I'm not attracted to you?" He asked with a smile and then coyly dropped his head a bit. "We may not be in a relationship any longer, but that doesn't mean you're not still devastatingly beautiful, or that I'm not very much attracted to you." She was at a loss for word, so she blushed and smiled sweetly at him.

"Wow, what do we do with that?" She finally said.

"Honestly," He replied as they both purposely avoided the other's gaze. "I don't know if we should do anything with it." He added and the smile she had on her face quickly faded, which he noticed. "I really hate to admit this, but maybe your sister's right."

"About?"

"I don't want to take advantage of you. You're in a fragile state right now…"

"I'm not crazy John McBain, I just have some memory loss. I'm still smart, strong willed, determined…"

"Stubborn," He threw out quickly with a chuckle and she couldn't help but to smile.

"Some have said as much, but I disagree. Most importantly I know what I want and how I feel." She said this as she reached out and gently placed her hand over his.

"Problem is before the accident, this isn't what you wanted, what you were feeling. I know it might be hard for you to believe right now, but you were in love with Cristian Vega, and I got the distinct impression you were developing feelings for Manning too." She crinkled her face up into a frown.

"Todd I can see that, if I squint really hard and overlooked that fact that he's a very bad boy sometimes, and he has this crazy obsession with Blair. He is rich and powerful, and handsome, and sexy…"

"Yeah, yeah I got it." John said cutting her praises of Todd Manning off. It instantly hit him that he was jealous. Evangeline giggled a bit loving that he was obviously jealous.

"But Cristian, I just don't' see that happening. I mean he's so not the type of guy I usually go for."

"Oh, I thought that was me." John replied with a huge smile.

"Yeah you are definitely an anomaly, a fluke, once in a life-time kind of guy." Again they shared a smile. "Seriously, even though I'm hearing all these things about who I was before the accident, who I was with. None of it really matters, because 'right now'," She squeezed his hand as she slid over closer to him. "Right at this moment," She reached out her other hand and stroked his hair and then cupped his face as she leaned in closer to him. "I want you." She said matter of fact, as their faces hovered close to each other. They both watched the others mouth in anticipation as their breathing increased and became more heavy. In the end it had been John who closed the remaining distance, and swiftly captured her mouth with his. Evangeline happily moaned into his mouth as she snaked her arms around his neck and dug her fingers into his scalp. He lifted her, moving her from her seated position beside him to a position straddling his lap. He then locked his hand onto either side of her head, entangling his fingers in her long thick tresses, and pulled her closer.

"Oh my God, what the hell are you doing?" Layla yelled out startling the would be lovers. They quickly released each other and moved apart as they stared wide-eyed at the two women standing in the doorway, clutching many bags.

"Hey you guys are back early." Evangeline spoke out through slightly swollen lips as she raked her fingers through her hair, trying to smooth down her tussled locks.
