Chapter 3

Sue Ellen finally got herself up, she ran over grabbing a pair of jeans, and a blouse, and was getting dressed. She brushed her hair she looked into the mirror, and smiled.

"Sue Ellen are you insane you go over there now you know you will never leave". Sue Ellen didn't care she grabbed her purse, and car keys, and ran out, and got in her car, and drove over to Southfork. She walked up to the door, and was using her keys to get in. She shut the door, and locked it, and was walking toward JR's bedroom. She almost jumped out of her skin when someone grabbed her shoulder making her turn around.

"Oh my God JR are you trying to give me a heart attack"?

"No but I should be the one asking why you are here"

"I really don't know I was talking to Ann she said life is short, and I thought coming here was the right thing to do but now it is plan silly". She started to walk away but JR grabbed her arm, and said.

"Don't leave Sugar"

"JR I am so confused right now, I don't know what is the right thing to do. I promised myself I would never let you back into my heart, but you had to show up at my place, and be all sweet what is up with that"

JR smiled, "I can be sweet sometimes Sugar"

"You being sweet is scary JR, I don't know if your playing me or not"

"Sue Ellen look at me I'm to old for games, and you know I care for you admit it"

"I know you care JR but if you hurt me again I will die"

"OK stop with that kind of talk you are one strong lady. That slap the other day knocked my few remaining teeth right out of my mouth"

Sue Ellen started to laugh making JR whisper.

"I miss your laugh Sugar"

"You deserved that smack but I felt bad I won't lie about that"

"I did deserve it Sugar"

"JR what are we doing"

JR took her hand, and whispered.

"I need you in my life even if your just a friend, I hate knowing your so close, and I'm losing valuable time with you"

"JR I'm here because I want to be here but I'm scared"

"Hush Sugar I would never hurt you again, I would die first"

"JR"

He smiled as he pulled her toward his room she followed him but her heart was racing. He opened the door, and told her to go inside, and she did. She looked around his room she sat on the end of his bed. JR smiled for the first time in his life he didn't know how to react. He never had problems when he was around woman before but he didn't want to scare her off by going to fast. He was a little afraid he was not the man she was married to for so many years. He was afraid she would pull away from him, and he knew that would break his heart. He was not the lover he once was age has taken a toll on him. His mind never changed he was still the same old JR in that regard, but could he be the lover she wanted he was not so sure. He sat down in the chair by his desk making Sue Ellen smile.

"JR are you afraid of me"

"Truthfully yes"

"What"?

"I feel like a teenager with his first girl friend trying to get to first base"

"JR you are not serious"

"Sugar look at me I'm not the man I use to be"

"Are you serious you are JR Ewing why are you saying these things"?

"I want this to be perfect but I'm afraid you will be disappointed, and that makes me sick to my stomach"

"JR I'm going to change in the bathroom, I brought my own nightgown"

"Sue Ellen are you sure"?

"You get in bed, and stop whining". Sue Ellen walked away, and JR reached over grabbing a glass, and poured himself a glass of Bourbon. He took a sip, and he looked over at the bed. He got up pulling the comforter down, and he started to undress. His hands were shaking he hated feeling this way. He got in bed, and got under the covers, and laid back trying to calm down. He looked at the bathroom door, and waited for Sue Ellen to come out. He didn't know how this night was going to turn out but having Sue Ellen here felt amazing, and scary at the same time.
