Chapter 14

In new York adam was just walking into the hotelgarden for some fresh air after he'd been drinking a bit too much all evening when he saw m.j. sitting on a bench all alone;"Hey,what are you doing here all alone?"

"I could ask you the same thing."said she looking up;"I just came outhere for some fresh air."

"Have you been crying?"asked adam suddenly worried when he saw the tears in her eyes;"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine."answered his ex-fiancee softly as she turned her head away;"I'm fine,adam."

"No,you're not."started he slowly and gently wiped away the tears with the back of his hand;"I know you better then that,remember?"

"I remember."said m.j. with a sad look in her eyes as she looked at him;"I…"

"Ssst!"began her ex-fiancee as he felt like there was nobody else in the whole world except for the two of them at that moment and he stared into her eyes while she stared right back,not being able to move,and then he suddenly felt such a strong desire to kiss her.

Without thinking about it adam leaned forwards and kissed m.j. as if it was the most natural thing to do and after her first shocked look at him she put her arms around him and kissed him back.

"I…."whispered she stuned after what seemed like an eternity and pushed him away with a guilty look on her face;"No,this is wrong!"

"You're right and I'm sorry."answered adam as shocked as she was about what had happened;"I don't know what came over me."

"I…."started his ex fiancée softly as she got up and began to walk away;"I have to go,adam."

"Please don't go because of me."said he feeling guilty as he followed her;"Please stay,m.j."

"It's got nothing to do with you."answered m.j. and got into the first cab that she saw infront of the hotel;"I just have to go."

"M.j….."began her ex confused as he watched the cab drive off with m.j, in it;"Damned!"

"Where's m.j.?"asked Karen when adam came back into the ballroom of the hotel;"You were both just outside,weren't you?"

"She just left in a cab."said he hesitating;"I just did something really stupid."

"So what's new?"answered his sister sarcasticly;"Please tell me that you didn't pick a fight with her."

"No,I kissed her."said adam;"I didn't mean to and it's not like I planned it or anything,karen,but we were sitting there and she looked so…."

"You did what?"asked she shocked as well as furious;"How could you have done that?"

"It just happened,Karen,I didn't plan it or anything and she did kiss me back!"

"That wasn't what I meant when I asked you to be nice to her,adam,i didn't want you to make things worse for her!"answered Karen still angry as she walked away;"I'm gonna call her to see if she's okay."

The next morning Amanda and sam were still laying in bed when Amanda tried to get up,but got pulled back into bed by her husband;"I have to get up,sam!"

"What for?"asked he and pulled her on top of him;"Can't we both take the day off and stay here all day long?"

"No,I have to go to work and so do you."answered his wife as she tried to get up again;"Let go off me,sam."

"You're no fun."smiled sam while he let her get up;"How is your new secretary?"

"She seems pretty good at her job so far and she's also really nice,sam."

"What's her name?"asked he as he got out of bed too;"Anybody that we know?"

"No,I don't think so."said Amanda and walked into the bathroom;"Her name is tara Anderson."

"Tara?"started sam slowly and thought back at the girl that he'd slept with,who's name had also been tara;"Oh."

"What's up with you,sam?"asked his wife as she came out of the bathroom and saw standing in the middle of the room with a strange look on his face;"You look like you've seen a ghost or something."

"Nothing."answered he lying;"I'm just a bit tired,honey,that's all."

"That's what you get for keeping me up all night."laughed Amanda and wanted to put her arms around sam,but before she got a change he walked into the bathroom;"Sam?"

"What?"asked he from inside the bathroom;"Did you say something?"

"Are you sure that you're okay?"started his wife worried and walked into the bathroom as well;"You're acting really strange all of a sudden,sam,are you angry at me for not wanting to stay in bed with you or something?"

"No,ofcourse not,"answered sam and forced a smile on his face while he kissed her gently;"I'm just tired,honey,that's all."

At the Hudson's donna was having breakfast when marlee walked in;"Goodmorning."

"Goodmorning."said her mother looking up;"How did you sleep?"

"Okay."answered marlee as she sat down;"Did Vicky come home yet?"

"No,not yet,honey,but I'm sure she's okay and that she probably spend the night at jake's."

"Maybe I shouldn't have come down so hard on her for seeing jake,but it's just that I was shocked when I found out,donna."

"Nobody blames you for getting upset when you found out,marlee,i'm sure that Victoria understands too."said she;"Jake really hurt you and it's only natural that you would feel betrayed by your sister when you found out about their relationship."

"I can't understand how she can keep seeing him while she knows what he did to me."answered her daughter softly;"But I didn't mean to drive her away,donna."

"I'm sure that she will come back again once things have settled down again,marlee."started donna slowly;"As long as your father doesn't go making things worse again."

"What did he do then?"asked she worried;"Do you think that I made a mistake by calling him after I found out?"

"No,ofcourse not,sweety,he would have found out anyway."said her mother;"Michael went to mary's place after you called us and warned jake to stay away from Victoria right infront of her."

"I wish that I'd never found out about this,donna,I hate this!"

"I know you do,but maybe we will all learn to deal with it."answered donna softly;"We will have no choice if your sister is really serious about jake ."

In new York Karen had just stopped by her parents' house with her new husband,to say goodbye before they went on their honeymoon;"Goodmorning,guys,where's adam?"

"He's in his room,talking to his girlfriend on the phone."answered her mother;"Ready for your honeymoon?"

"We sure are."smiled Karen when adam came rushing into the livingroom;"Hi,adam."

"What is her phonenumber?"asked he;"Give it to me!"

"Goodmorning to you too."said his brother-in-law teasing;"You look like you've had a rough night."

"This isn't some kind of joke!"answered adam annoyed and looked at Karen;"I really need her phonenumber,karen!"

"To do what?"asked she annoyed as well;"Haven't you done enough lastnight,adam,do you have any idea how upset she sounded when I talked to her on the phone lastnight?"

"Who,adam,what happened lastnight?"started their father confused;"What's going on,guys?"

"I really need her number right now,Karen,I have to get in touch with her because I have to tell her that her father is in the hospital after having a serious heartattack."said he and tried to stay calm;"Susan just called me with the news that Jamie had told her about vince's heartattack and she said that he could still die because he's not out of the woods yet."

"Oh,my god,that is terrible."answered Karen shocked and grabbed her phone;"I will call her."

"Don't tell her over the phone."warned her brother her;"Ask her to come downhere or something,karen,so that I can tell her about her father."

"Why do you want to tell her?"started she suspicious;"Does this have anything to do with what you did lastnight?"

"No,ofcourse not."said adam irritated;"But if I hadn't ended things the way that I did between us two years ago then she'd probably be at home with her family right now."

"Okay,I will call her and ask her to come downhere."promised his sister as she walked away to make the call.

"Would somebody please just tell us what's going on?"asked Nathan cory;"Adam?"

"Just sit down and I'll explain everything while Karen is on the phone."answered he when Karen came into the livingroom again;"That was quick."

"I got her voicemail and asked her to call me right away as soon as she gets the message."said his sister and turned towards her husband;"Would you mind it very much if we went on our honeymoon a few hours later?"

"No,ofcourse not."said carlos as he pulled his wife into his arms and turned towards his brother-in-law;"Well,we're all waiting for you to explain everything."
