Rated: T for Passion

Disclaimer: I don't own this show or couple but if I did…well it'd be a much different General Hospital. Jason would be like goodbye Elizabeth hello Brenda.

Author's Note: I hope this isn't too confusing. Oh and I should point out that Molly doesn't exist.

"Where exactly are we going?" Lulu asked apprehensively as she made her way into the helicopter. She hadn't actually told anyone she was leaving, but instead said she was needed some time to find herself and she would be back as soon as she was ready. Her father would definitely be the only one to accept this as a plausible reason for simply leaving.

Ric smiled for what felt like the first time in ages. "You'll see. It's much more fun if it's a surprise." He handed her a pair of headphones and then prepared for the long flight.

Two helicopters, a private jet, a Rolls Royce, and a speed boat later they finally reached their destination and Lulu still had no idea where exactly they were. She knew at some point they had left the United States and were somewhere in Europe but other than that she was lost. She slowly made her way off of the boat and onto the dock. She squinted in an attempt to make everything out despite how dark it was. Sometime during their travels it had returned to night. She looked at Ric and couldn't help but notice the wistful look in his eyes that made him look much younger than she had ever seen him. "Are we going to take a submarine from here or something?"

Ric laughed at the joke. If he hadn't known better he too would have been perturbed at how hard the journey was. "Nope, we're here. Trust me it's worth it." He assured her as he motioned for her to follow him. At the edge of the dock he was prompted to reply the family motto. "Baklava is best enjoyed by the ocean."

Lulu watched in amazement as the man standing at the edge of the dock allowed them to make their way behind the massive gates which hid what she could only describe as a small village. She looked at Ric in awe of her surroundings. "Are you shitting me?"

Ric shook his head no. He could vividly remember the first time he had ever seen this place. Back then it had been much smaller but still just as amazing. As soon as you saw it you understood instantly why it was such a pain in the ass to get here. "This is the Zacchara compound. Johnny's grandfather, Marco Zacchara built it during the late fifties as a safe place to send his family in case anything happened to him." Ric paused to let her soak all of that in. "This is one of the world's best kept secrets. Everyone knows about Sonny's holdings in Latin America but no one knows about this place."

"Wow." Lulu mustered as they made their way up the cobblestone walkway to what she assumed was the main house. "How have they kept it a secret for so long?"

"Knowing about this place takes becoming a member of a very exclusive club and becoming a member of that club is no easy task. In fact it's almost a burden." Ric could name quite a few people who would rather not know about this secret. In fact there were times in his life when he was younger that he too wished he wasn't in the know.

"I just don't understand why we have to go right now." He begged his father to let him stay. There was no way he could leave before this weekend. "But everyone is going to be at this party. This is my first chance at making real friends other than Vanessa."

He shook his head at the memory which seemed like a lifetime ago. He glanced at Lulu out of this corner of his eye and found that she was watching him rather intently. He couldn't help but silently wonder if she was ready to keep a secret like this one. He opened the door to the main house; no one knocked here and motioned for her to go ahead in.

Johnny blinked not once or twice but rather several times as he made his way down the staircase and found not only Ric standing there but also Lulu. He had thought about inviting her but had thought it too soon, but here she was standing there. He finished making his way down the stairs not sure exactly how to greet her. Sure she had kissed him that night, and the letters he had written her clearly made his interest clear, but still did that mean he should kiss. He mentally kicked himself for allowing her to make him this crazy. He decided to just go with a small wave. "Hey, how was the trip?"

Ric noticed just how much sexual tension there was in the room and decided that he should probably exit stage left. "Long and tiring as usual so I'm going to go ahead and hit the hay."

"Yeah okay well you know which room is yours." Johnny explained and then in a move that surprised even him he reached out and hugged the older man. He knew Ric was risking a lot by coming here. "Thank you for this."

"It's nothing Johnny. Remember we're practically family." Ric then said good night to Lulu and went upstairs.

Lulu stood there feeling rather awkward and questioning whether or not she should have come here. It also didn't help that Johnny wasn't wearing a shirt and his abs were hard not to take in. She'd always been a sucker for a six pack. "So uh this place is really amazing."

Johnny nodded as he motioned for her to follow him to the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"

As if on cue Lulu's stomach growled.

"I'll take that as a yes." Johnny then set to heating things up for her.

Lulu sat there watching him wondering how long the silence could last. She was a big fan of comfortable silence but this was anything but comfortable. "I'm sorry to intrude on you."

"Are you kidding me?" Johnny couldn't even believe she was apologizing for coming. He had wanted so badly to see her since that night. There were a millions questions he wanted to as her. A million things he wanted to do to her. She was the last thing he thought about every night and the first thing every morning. "You did not intrude Lulu. In fact I was going to urge you to come with Ric but I thought it might freak you out."

Lulu's mind and body instantly relaxed at the realization that he was just as nervous as she was. "I think it would be best if we just put all our cards out on the table."

"Such as…"

"I've thought about you everyday since you left. When I find one of your letters my heart swells with happiness and when I finish reading it I reread it at least a dozen times." Lulu was no longer sitting by was instead walking towards him as she said all of these things. She needed to close the gap between them.

"You are the first and only girl I've ever written letters to. I hated myself for leaving you that night when the police showed up. I wanted to make you come with me. I've wanted to do this for so long." And then he kissed her. This kiss unlike the first was hard and passionate. It was the kind of kiss that could only be described as desperate. His fingers tangled in her hair as he felt her press him up against the island. The cold of marble intensified the goose bumps that her touch had already caused.

When it seemed as if they would pass out from lack of oxygen they pulled away. Their lips were swollen. Their breath ragged. The sexual tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "I've fallen for you fast and furious." Lulu admitted quietly once she had regained the ability to speak.

Johnny grinned and then started to leave the room.

"Where are you going?"

"I've got to write Jason a letter. I told him you like me."

So that was the update. I hope you liked it. I am shocked that I got it out so quickly. Please let me know what you think.
