Chapter 20: Your wish is my command

Kelly and Matt were lying curled up, cuddling on the couch inside of her trailer. As much as she loved lying there with Matt holding her so tightly into his arms, spooning her, inhaling the heavenly scent of her blond hair locks, she knew very well, just like he did, that they had to get up soon. "We have to go", Kelly said silently and still a little bit out of breath from their quickie that reached its glorious just moments ago. Matt placed a kiss on the backside of her lower neck, hugging her even tighter than he was already doing. "I wanna quit", he said. Kelly sat up and looked at him. "What?" she asked softly, worry written all over her face. "I wanna quit if it means I get to spend the entire day here with you. Just lying here with you in my arms is all I want, all I've ever wanted really." Kelly's heart melted right then and there and a smile appeared on her face, lighting the entire room. "Oh", she said. Matt returned the smile. "What did you think I was talking about?" he asked. "Nothing", she replied quickly before pecking his lips and standing upright to straighten her clothes and check her make-up in the full length mirror. Matt snuck up behind her and put his arms around her lower waist. His chin resting on her right shoulder blade, he looked into the mirror, directly into Kelly's eyes. "Remember the last time we looked into a mirror together?", he asked before licking a long wet trail along the right side of her neck hoping she would give into him again and go for another round. "No, I don't", she said blankly, doing her very best not to burst into laughter, knowing very well what he was referring to. Boy, did she remember their mirror-view-lovemaking. She rested her hands upon his that were folded over her tummy. She stroked them before slowly unfolding them and turning around in his embrace. She took his face into her hands and gave him a quick yet soft kiss on the cheek. "Besides we don't have time for this." She pecked his lips while she couldn't hide a smile on her lips from playing his mind. "So you do remember?" Matt asked while he smacked her butt playfully. "Come on, Rufus" she yelled, leaving her trailer but not before looking back and giving him a wink. She chuckled when she saw the dumbstruck look on his face. "Aye Aye, Lil" he yelled after her knowing very well she was out of earshot once she had stepped outside into the mass of screaming fans who had been awaiting her.

Once she had managed to get through the screaming crowd, Kelly entered the studio. She walked up to Robert who was already waiting for her on set. He looked at his watch and smiled at Kelly indicating that she was a tad late. "Fashionably late as always", Robert said before taking in her appearance. "You look radiant as always." Kelly blushed and gave him an enthusiastic smile before giving him a kiss on the cheek as a welcome. "Everybody ready?" the director shouted. Kelly and Robert took their places, which was near the counter of the kitchen in Lily's apartment.

Aaaaand ACTION

Lily: "What are these?"

Bart: "Don't act as if you don't know."

The envelope fell with a thud onto the counter.

Bart: "You've been divorced too many times to ask me a stupid question like that. How many times was it again? 5, 6?"

Lily: "Divorce?"

Bart: "Don't make a fool out of me, Lily"

Lily: "Bart, I..."

Bart: "Send them to my office as soon as you've signed them."

Lily: "Could you at least have the decency to tell me why you want a divorce because I … "

Bart: "The decency!?" His voice sounded as if the words came from the very back of his throat. "The decency", he said again. He started to laugh devilishly now. "Tell me, Lily, how decent of you is it to fuck your ex-husband - by the way I'm talking about Humphrey in case you don't know which one I'm talking about - when you are supposedly committed to me."

Lily just stood there, looking at him – awed – slightly nodding her head the way she always does when cornered.

Bart: "How decent is it to go behind my back the minute Chuck comes to you to slander me without any reason?"

Bart's voice became more violent with every word he spoke. Lily took a small step back, putting her left hand on the counter as some sort of support. It was of no use as Bart soon closed the distance between them by stepping closer and putting a death grip on her left wrist, pinning it on the countertop.

Bart: "How decent of you is it to stand here pretending you don't know why someone would want to divorce you, AGAIN."

Lily: "Bart, let go of me."

Bart: "What? Not decent enough for you?"

He looked at her as if he were ready to grope her. Lily thought that if ever Bart was going to kill her, it would've been right in this moment. She imagined how he would put his hands around her throat and forcefully squeeze it until all the air would leave her lungs and everything would go black. She was glad when she heard the elevator ping and was pulled out of her horrible daydream. She could hear someone entering the apartment and someone coming up behind her. Bart still had his hand firm around Lily's wrist. "You're nothing but a lying whore," Bart yelled, gripping her wrist even tighter. Then, Lily heard the four words coming from the one person who was always there to save her from the Bass men.

"Let go of her!"

Bart took in the unexpected visitor like it was a piece of shit and just as fast ignored him: "I expect these papers on my desk by the end of the week", he said while picking them off the counter and shoving them into Lily's chest. Bart looked her over once more, eyes filled with disgust, looking at her as if she were the mother of all harlots.

Lily grabbed hold of the papers so they wouldn't drop to the floor. She was trembling. Her head hung low, staring at the floor trying to figure out how Bart had found out about her tryst with Rufus.

She felt two hands touch her shoulders, slowly kneading the tension out of them.

She turned around and looked into the eyes of her savior.

Chuck: "Are you alright?"

Lily: "Oh Charles, your father is just…"

Chuck: "Don't call him that. That man is not my father anymore. If anything, he's not worthy of that title."

Lily: "I have no idea how he found out about..."

Chuck: "About what?"

Lily realized Chuck hadn't heard that part of her conversation with Bart, she silenced and just looked into her stepson's eyes.

Chuck nodded and couldn't help his mouth from forming a small smile. "Rufus?" he asked.

Lily nodded.

Chuck grabbed hold of her wrists. "Let me call him", he said grabbing his BlackBerry from his pocket before enclosing Lily fully into his arms.

CUT

"Alright, onto the next scene", the director indicated. "Kelly and Ed, I want you on that couch, like you were when we did the scene after Lily got almost raped by Jack".

"Got it", Ed replied while Sarah was adjusting Kelly's hair.

Lily and Charles were soon sitting on the couch, Chuck holding onto her hand as a comforting painkiller for the pain Bart had put upon her.

Lily: "Charles, your father… Bart," she corrected herself. "I want to thank you for saving me, again."

Chuck: "Don't thank me, I'd do it any time."

Lily: "I know", she nodded appreciatively, immensely proud of what a good man Chuck had become. "I was a fool for trusting him over you, I realize that now. I'm so sorry! Can you ever forgive me?"

Chuck: "Lily, I know you're a good person, and the best mother I could've wished for."

Lily's eyes were getting all watery from Chuck's sweet words.

Chuck gave her a soft kiss on the cheek before taking her in his arms. When they broke their hug, Lily let her hand rest on Chuck's shoulder and squeezed it before saying: "Thank you, Charles!"

Chuck just smiled at her. Finally she believed him, finally she saw what kind of an unhearted person Bart Bass really was.

When the elevator pinged, indicating that Rufus had arrived Chuck got up and left but not without kissing Lily goodbye sweetly. Chuck nodded politely at Rufus and left the two of them alone.

Rufus took place on the couch next to Lily.

Lily's head hung low, unable to look at Rufus.

Rufus: "Lil…"

Lily: "Rufus, I don't want to talk."

Rufus nodded shortly: "What do you want, then?"

Lily: "I want you to take me into your arms."

Rufus immediately did as she told, for he would do anything she told him to.

Lily who had her head resting onto Rufus' shoulder, her lips brushing against the stubble on his neck: "I want you to tell me you forgive me for leaving you a year ago."

Rufus moved his right hand from the low of her back to the back of her head before he loosened his grip on her to look into her eyes: "I forgive you, Lil. I forgave you a long time ago for that".

Lily: "I want you to make love to me." She said it in a whisper, inching her head closer to his.

Rufus licked his lips quickly before locking lips with the woman he loved. He immediately obeyed her every command, for he would do anything for her.

Lily's hands found his cheeks and she caressed his face, then she dropped her hands to his chest. Her fingers finding and fumbling with the buttons on his shirt.

Lily: "I want you to tell me you love me" she said in between their kisses which were becoming more passionate with every passing second.

Rufus: "I love you", his voice hoarse with passion for her. His words didn't even take a second to come out of his mouth after Lily's latest command. It was because there was no doubt in his mind, for he really loved her with all his heart.

Lily who was done with speaking more words got rid of Rufus' shirt. She started to unbutton her own blouse. Rufus admired her every movement, he kissed the soft flesh she exposed with every button she loosened. Once she got rid of the whole thing and was left in her black lace bra, she took Rufus' hands in hers and pulled them both up from off the couch. As soon as they were both standing on their feet, she attacked his lips again.

Lily: "I want you to take me upstairs", her voice had never sounded more soft, more filled with passion.

Rufus swept her off her feet. Not doubting her or hesitating about what to do. No, not for one minute. He was not thinking about how she was telling him what to do. He'd do anything for her, for he loved her. My god, did he love her. He didn't care if Lily was to command him for the rest of their lives together. If it meant having her by his side, he'd gladly make her every wish his command. He kissed her long and softly before carrying her upstairs, kissing her every step of the stairway.

Aaaaand CUT!

"That's a wrap, guys! Great work! The Rufly-fans will certainly be happy with this latest turn of events", the director said. "I'll see you next week for the big finale shoot!"

Both Kelly and Matt were still standing next to each other on top of the staircase."I can't wait," Matt said, moving his eyebrows up and down, grinning while looking at Kelly's lips. He knew very well what their next scene would be like. And he could hardly wait.

Kelly who was practically glued to him, with her arm around his neck, returned the look. She licked her lips.

Kelly: "I want you to take me home."

Matt looked at her with a surprised look on his face. "Getting all Lily on me now?" he asked.

"Do you mind?" she asked him with a seductive tone, leaning closer to him, her lips only inches away from his.

"Nope... not one single bit," he scooped her up into his arms again and took her down the stairs.

Matt was headed outside with Kelly still in his arms, not realizing the upper parts of their bodies were rather uncovered.

"Euhm, Matt, our clothes" Kelly said, with worry in her voice.

"I don't care about the clothes. I'm taking you ho..."

"Matt," she cut him short.

"No, Kel, I'm taking you home! NOW!"
