For Her Protection- Part 23
The minute Kendall and Aidan stepped into the shower, it was as if nothing had ever changed. The hot water fell down on their bodies but all they could feel was the heat rising between them. They had never spoken the words but as they continued to massage each other with the soap, it was clear that this was as close as either one of them could get to true love. After the hot water ran out, they stepped out of the shower and started kissing passionately again. He grabbed a towel and dried them both off. Then he picked her up and carried her to the bed. They looked into each others eyes as if it were the first time.
Aidan: Are you sure about this?
Kendall: I think I’ve been sure about you for as long as I’ve known you. I just failed to see you for what you really are. I should have picked you Aidan. You’re the only one who’s ever accepted me for who I am. I can’t even put what I feel into words. You make me feel like nobody ever has before. You make me believe in Happy.
Aidan: I’m not expecting miracles Kendall. We’ve both made our share of bad mistakes. But that day that you came into my life was the best stroke of good luck I’ve ever had. We don’t need to dwell on the past. The future’s not here yet. All we have is now.
Kendall: So what do you want in this moment?
Aidan: What I’ve always wanted. You. All I want is You.
Kendall: Me too Aidan. All I want right now is to be with you.
And without another word, they finally gave into their passion until they were both too exhausted. The next morning, Kendall awoke to find the bed empty. She reached over and found a note and a little box. Inside, she found a small pearl necklace in the shape of a heart. The note Read:
Kendall,
My beautiful Kendall
For so long we’ve been looking in the wrong place…
We let life and love pass us by. And for what?
There are thousands of Diamonds in this world
And we’ve had a taste of what they can do to us
But there’s only one pearl sweetheart and your it.
You are pure happiness for me.
If you agree then put this on and meet me at the boathouse.
I have a surprise for you.
Aidan
Kendall: Why Aidan Devane, just when I think you can’t surprise me anymore, you go and do something totally sweet and romantic and just all around great like this. (Pause) It’s going to take some getting used to, but of course I agree. You’ll just have to show me the ropes.
She left the room to shower, preparing to meet Aidan, and feeling happier then she ever knew was possible.
Lucky found Elizabeth sitting at the desk staring out the window. He came over and wrapped his arms around her.
Lucky: Hey. You look a million miles away. You ok?
Elizabeth: Yeah, I’m fine sweetheart. I’m just a little worried about what’s going to happen next. (Pause) I thought I had thought this through. I thought I had everything worked out right down to the last detail. But honestly Lucky, I feel like I’m walking into a War Zone. How am I supposed to ask my parents why they lied to me all of my life? Doesn’t that put a person on the defensive?
Lucky: Maybe we should start with the good news then.
Elizabeth: Our wedding? (Pause) Lucky you’re a genius. (She kisses him)
Lucky: Ok so what would you say to a little detour?
Elizabeth: What sort of detour?
Lucky: Well I was kind of thinking of showing you a preview of our honeymoon.
Elizabeth: Sweetheart we don’t have to leave for that. We can do that right here.
Lucky: Ok but I had something made for you that I’d like to show you. But it’s in New York. So what do you say huh? You up for a little detour?
Elizabeth: I would go anywhere in the world with you.
Lucky: Is that a yes?
Elizabeth: Of course it’s a yes. I would love to see what you have to show me.
Lucky: Good. I’ll go see if the choppers ready. You just go take a shower and try to relax.
Elizabeth: Thanks baby.
After Elizabeth came out of the bathroom, she found a tray sitting in the room. Inside there was a plate of brownies and a note. It read:
To my beautiful Fiancé,
Aunt Bobbie sent these over from Kelly’s.
I know they are not as good as yours but
You need the chocolate for our trip.
I want you to know how blessed I feel
To have you in my life Elizabeth Webber.
You are my angel. Always have been. Always will be.
I love you and I can’t wait to marry you.
We are where we were always meant to be.
Keep that in mind and meet me at our place.
Lucky
Elizabeth: Oh Lucky, I always knew we were meant to be. You’re my soul mate and I can’t wait to marry you either. We are so lucky baby. Some people never find what we have. And now that we were FINALLY smart enough to admit it then I’m never letting go of it.
She grabbed the suitcases and headed to the boxcar to meet Lucky.
Nora was lying in Bo’s arms the next morning when suddenly she woke up in a cold sweat, shaking terribly from a nightmare. Bo sat with her in silence for a while trying to give her the freedom she needed before he pressed her. Finally she spoke.
Nora: I’m sorry sweetheart. I had a terrible nightmare. It seemed so real.
Bo: You want to talk about it?
Nora: It was about you. I dreamt I had lost you again. It was like someone had put a knife though my heart.
Bo: Its ok baby. It was just a dream. I’m not going anywhere.
Nora: I know that in my heart. It’s my head that’s having trouble.
Bo: I know the feeling. My head could never wrap my mind around the fact that you were here with me because I never deserved someone as amazing as you.
Nora: Let’s stop listening to our heads then. It’s our hearts that count.
Bo: Good advice Red. As long as you promise me one thing.
Nora: What’s that?
Bo: That we never keep any more secrets from each other. They destroyed us once. I’m not going to let them destroy us again. Are you?
Nora: No I’m not. Which is why I guess I have to tell you one last secret I’ve been keeping from you?
Bo: Ok, I’m listening. Whatever it is, I can handle it. I’m never going to leave you Red.
Nora: I believe that. Which is what gives me the courage to tell you what I’m about to tell you. (Pause) It’s about Paige.
Bo: Does it have to do with what you two were arguing about?
Nora: Yeah, everything. I know why she came to Llanview and who she really is.
Bo: What does that mean exactly?
Nora: Her name isn’t really Paige. She’s Aidan’s sister. She was supposedly killed a long time ago but her two psycho brothers helped her fake her death. She came to town to destroy me. She helped them kidnap me and my daughter.
Bo: Oh God. Nora I’m sorry. (Pause) She got involved with me to hurt you right?
Nora: That was part of it yes. But it’s not over Bo. Paige doesn’t accept Rejection very well. She’s going to try and hurt us in any way she can.
Bo: She won’t succeed. She can try but it won’t work. I would trade my right arm for YOU Nora. I don’t care what the risk is to me as long as you’re safe.
Nora: And I feel the same way about you.
Bo: You need to tell Aidan about this don’t you?
Nora: Not today. But yeah I do. I’ll tell us at the party. He’s Elizabeth’s uncle. He has a right to be there. And to be a part of her life.
Bo: Ok. So are you ready to see Matthew?
Nora (Smiling): Yes. I’ve missed him SO much. I have so much to tell him.
Bo: He has a lot to tell you too Nora. He missed you when you were gone. So did I.
Nora: So let’s get a move on it. I’ll meet you in the shower.
