Chapter 8: The morning came a little too quickly. Elizabeth awaoke in Lucky's
arms. She felt contented and safe. His arms around her held her tightly to his body. THe
sun spilled light into the room, giving it a cheery mood. Liz smiled and snuggled closer to Lucky. She had no regrets about
last night. It had been the most incredible exprience of ehr life. Lucky was amazing. She felt Lucky shift. He had woken up. "Morning sleepyhead," Liz said, "It's already
seven." Lucky smiled and yawned, "You haev to be at school in and hour
and a half." Liz stretched, "God know I don't want to. This is one day I'd
rahter spend with you, but I did promise Gram>" Lucky looked concerned, "Elizabeth, you okay with waht happened
last night?" "It was my decision Lucky, and I don't regret it. And I must
say, I'd like to do it again." Liz smiled and rolled on top of Lucky, kissing him
lingeringly. "Liz, we didn't use protection last night. hopefully nothing
will happen. I'll make sure to have some around from now on." Lucky was more worried than she was. They were both healthy young
adults and not exactly sexually active a lot. Pregnancy was another issue but she didn't
think it would ahppen. Liz was in a great mood as she stood up from the bed. She put on
her robe and went to have a shower. Lucky watched her walk into the bathroom. Man was she beautiful. He
smiled in rememberance of last night. he knew he probably shouldn't have gone through with
it, condoms or no condoms, Liz had wanted it, and God knows so had he. He frowned as he
thought of Audrey's reaction if she ever found out, but he pushed the thought away. He considered joining Liz in the shower but he decided he better let
her get ready for school. Lucky got dressed and picked up the phone. He dialed nik's number.
"Hey Nikky, it's Lucky. You wanna do something today? My schedules pretty
clear." Nik's voice was regretful, "Sorry Lucky, I'm visiting with some
Greek relatives regarding hte distribution of the Cassadine Empire. Tomorrow okay?" "Sure Nik, no problem. Have fun with your relatives." "I'd rahter have a couple teeth pulled, but it has to be done.
See you." As they hung up Liz walked out of the washroom, ready for school. "Was that Nik?" she asked, pulling her hair back into a
ponytail. "Yeah, it was the Prince. He has some relatives over so he's
ditching me for the day." Lucky said, he stepped up behind her. "You look
beautiful Hon, but I must say, less is more." he put his arms around her and nuzzled
her neck. "Stop it Lucky!" she protested half-heartedly," I
ahve to leave!" she turned around in his arms though and kissed him on the lips. "see you when I get home," she said, adn left while she
still could, leaving Lucky staring after her. He wondered what he should do for the day. Luara and Lulu were on a
field trip with Lul's class, and Luke was at work. Nik's absense gave him time to himslef. A spurt of inspiration came to him, a great idea. He grabbed his
jacket on the way out. ******************************************** When he returned from his excursion. He was carrying a video camera
and assorted video-cassetes. THis was important for him to do, a way to preserve his
memory. He was going to make tapes for each of his loved ones to be opened
in the event of his death. It was best to do somehting like this now, so they could see
him while he still looked lie himslef. He set the camcorder up on the tripod and hit the reocrd button.
Lucky say down in front of the camera. He would do Nickolas's first. "Well Prince if you're seeing this I'm dead. Obviously. This is
the best was I can think of to express my emotions and wishes to you. paper is too
impersonal. First off I gotta say, I'm glad you're my brother. At first i know I was
hostile and horrible, but that changed. As Liz has assured you, but I know I've never
actually said, I love you Nik. you're my favorite brother, even though you're my only one.
I want to thank you for everyhting you've done for me. Plus I need to ask soem fovours.
Take care fo Liz, she'll need help when this is all over. DOn't let Lulu forget she ahd
another brother. An d last of all, take care of yourslef man." Lucky switche doff the camera. he didn't want to carry this on
forever. He switched tapes, he would do Lulu's next. He flipped the recorder on. "Hey Lulu. If you're seeinf this I've left, but don't worry
about me. you were the best little sister a guy could ask for Lu, I'm sorry i won't be
arund to see you grow up. Try to think of me when you graduate, or get married and
remember your big brother is looking down on you. I'll keep this short, just remember your
big brother loves you." Liz's was next, "Hey Elizabeth. I've told you all this before
but I want to make sure you know it. I love you Elizabeth, more than anyhting in the
world. I would have given anyhitng to be able to live your life with you, but I guess it
wasn't destined to ahppen. The first night we slept together was amazing and I'm glad i
got to be your first. I know you denied it Liz, but I have to emphasize this for you. Be
happy. Don't forget me, but move on. I want you to ahve the life you deserve, even if I'm
not a part of it. If I go on for too long, I'll start bawling, so I'll wrap this up.
Elizabeht Webber, you were the best thing that ever happened to me, I found peace in you.
My last part of life was almost the best time of my life because you were there. Remember
I love you Elizabeth, goodbye." he blew a kiss into the camera and shut it off. THis had been a good thing to do, a way for them to remember him. He
made one for his parents adn then shut the machine off. He took the tapes to his lawyer who was doing his will and gave him
the instrucitons regarding the distribution of them. Lucky made sure he was home in plenty of time before Liz got there.
He didn't want her to know what he ahd done. When she got home from school Liz asked, "So waht did you do
today Lucky?" "Not much Liz," Lucky replied," I went out for a bit,
but came back home soon afterward." Elizabeth walked over to him and kissed him, "So, what do you
wanna do?" "There's not mcuh to do Liz, play cards?" "Gin rummy or strip poker?" Elizabeth sadi, trying to
sound enticing, but the blushing ruined the effect. Lucky laughed,"Did you have to ask?" |
