Intoxicating- Part 6
She had been staring at the clock for what seemed like an eternity. She had cried so many tears that she could no longer get anything out. She had wanted to run after him the minute he left but she knew she had to do this the mature way. So here she sat, in love with one man, and committed to another, about to break the promise she made to one of them. She had her head in her hands when Viki finally found her a little while later. If anyone could talk some sense into her, it would be her.
Nora (Looking up at her, through tears): What am I supposed to do now Viki? I can’t lose Bo.
Viki: Is there some reason you think you will?
Nora: Yeah. He just told me he’s had enough. He told me he couldn’t live with being just friends when he wanted to be so much more. Can’t say I blame him. I want him too.
Viki: Ok, so what’s the problem? If you want each other…<br>
Nora: He said if I don’t meet him at the palace by 8:00 then it’s over. That means I have to end things with Josh.
Viki: Nora, you can’t do that. He’s not strong enough. If you tell him now, you could kill him.
Nora (Hysterical): Don’t you think I know that? That’s why I’ve sat here for the last hour or so mulling it over instead of running after the man I love. I can’t do it anymore Viki. Bo’s right. This isn’t fair to anyone. I’m in love with Bo. I want to be with Bo.
Viki: You’ve already made up your mind haven’t you?
Nora: I don’t know what you want from me Viki. I really don’t want to hurt Josh. He’s been nothing but a prince to me. I know he loves me. Believe me, I wish there was a way that I could still be with Bo and not hurt Josh. He doesn’t deserve it. But I can’t sit here and pretend that things are ok when they’re not. I can’t stay Viki. If I do then I’ll lose the only man I’ve ever really loved. That’s a fate worse than death. I can’t do it anymore. I need to go to him and tell him that I love him. He needs to know how I feel.
Viki: Ok… so go to him. I’m not trying to keep you from the man you love Nora. You deserve to be happy. I’m just asking you to put off telling Josh for a little while longer. At least wait until he’s strong enough to handle the news.
Nora (Crying): Viki, how is that right? Isn’t it better for him to know now? I’m only prolonging the inevitable. And is it really fair for me to ask Bo to wait for me? He’s waited long enough.
Viki: Oh sweetheart, I’m sorry. I know you have only the best intentions. You’re trying to find a way to make this ok for your husband aren’t you?
Nora: He deserves that Viki. But I’m not stupid enough to think that it’s possible. No matter what I say, no matter when I say it, I’m still going to break his heart. Isn’t it worse to make him think we have a chance when I’m already going to be with someone else?
Viki: I don’t know… maybe you’re right. I’m sorry for putting you in this position sweetheart. I know how hard this is for you.
Nora: Yeah it is. But you know what? Josh has you. I know you’ll make it ok for him. Who’s going to make it ok for Bo? Do you know how hard this is for him? Because I do. I’ve seen it. And I can’t stand the thought that he might not know how I feel. I have to go to him. I need him to know that I may have Josh’s last name, but he’s always going to be my heart. In my heart, I’ll always be a Buchanan.
And with that she walked away. She went into Josh’s hospital room. She had to make things right with him and soon. She only had a few hours. She sat down beside him and took his hand.
Josh: Hey baby. Is that you?
Nora (Sighing): Yeah, it’s me. How you feeling?
Josh: Better now that you’re here.
Nora (Trying to keep the tears from flowing): I’m sorry sweetheart. I can’t stay. You’re not going to like what I have to say.
Josh: Why? Are you ok?
Nora: I can’t do this Josh. I know I told you I could but I just can’t.
Josh: It’s ok. Whatever it is we can handle it.
Nora: No, we can’t. I’m sorry to have to do this to you now but you deserve the truth. I can’t give you what you want.
Josh: How can you say that? You’ve given me so much joy. I love you.
Nora: Please don’t say that. Please… I… I don’t love you. I never did.
Before she had a chance to say anything further, he started going into Cardiac arrest. Nora freaked out and yelled for a doctor. When he was stabilized, he thought he was dreaming. She took that as a sign and ran from the room.
Nora (To Viki): Take care of Josh. I have to go. I won’t tell him the truth.
Nora barely made it to the palace in time. She had crashed her car into a tree and had to walk the remainder of the way in the rain. When she saw him standing there, she called out his name. Their eyes met and she started running towards him. He picked her up and started twirling her around. They kissed.
Nora: I love you Bo. I want to be with you tonight. (Pause)
Bo: I was beginning to think that you weren’t coming.
Nora: How could I not? You’re my heart. I don’t ever want you doubt what you mean to me again. I really want to be with you.
They kiss passionately.
Bo: There’s more isn’t there?
Nora: I tried to tell Josh. Viki begged me not to but I tried. He went into cardiac arrest and when he woke up he thought he was dreaming. I couldn’t tell him Bo.
Bo: Just like you couldn’t tell me you weren’t pregnant right?
Nora: Please don’t be angry with me Bo. I raced over here because I wanted to tell you that you’re the only one I love. I crashed my car. I had to walk the rest of the way here. I’ve had a really bad day.
When she starts to cry, he took her in his arms.
Bo: I’m sorry baby. I shouldn’t have said that.
Nora: No, you’re right. Just like I took it as a sign then, I took this as a sign. But I want you. That hasn’t changed. I came here because I still want to be with you. Do you still want to be with me?
He kissed her deeply before picking her up and carrying her inside the hotel. They looked lovingly in each other’s eyes as Bo started to unbutton her shirt.
Bo: I want to make love to you Nora. Everything inside me wants to be with you tonight. But I can’t do that unless I know this is what you truly want. So say it Nora. Are you sure about this? Are you sure about us?
