Robin's Apartment

''Kevin and Lucy, shouldn't you be
heading back to the Hotel like the others did earlier,'' Robin asked.
''We wanted to help you clean up here. There is so many dishes that we
left for you.''
Robin laughed, ''Don't worry, I have a dishwaher.''
Lucy chuckled, ''My favorite kind of washer. The least we could do is
assist you in putting the dishes in there.''
Robin shook her head, ''The dishes can wait. But I have a question for
you two. Last time I was home, you had both broken up, and were seeing
other people. What happened?''
Kevin looked at Lucy and she nodded for him to speak for them, ''One
afternoon last May, I happened to be at the Outback visiting with
Felicia. She remarked how far I had come since my breakdown and how
happy she was about it. She did tell me how suprised she was that I was
Eve, not Lucy. I mentioned that Eve was generous, caring, and brilliant.
Then Felicia asked me why I was dating the woman who broke up my
wedding.''
Kevin paused then continued, ''Robin, at the time, I tried justify being
with Eve to Felicia but in the end the reasons I gave her sounded flat.
Then Felicia made a remark that changed my life. She told my bluntly
that she believed Lucy was my soulmate. And she was the only reason that
I was sane today was due to strength of her love. I was dumbstruck I
couldn't say anything. Then the kicker, Felicia said it was my stupid
male pride that stopped me from forgiving Lucy and reuniting with her.''
Then Kevin looked Robin straight into her eyes, ''That night, I pondered
long and hard about Felicia had said to me. Eve had been working that
night, so I had to lighthouse to myself. I finally came to the
conclusion, that Felicia was right. I had been fooling myself believing
I loved Eve. Robin, I realized how mad I was at myself for not fighting
for Lucy when I had the chance. I knew I had to end things with Eve,
which I did later that night. I hated to hurt her, but it was the right
thing to do.''
Lucy interrupted, ''Kevin, now its my turn to tell the rest of the
story.''
Then Lucy took a deep breath, ''Robin, That next morning, I found Kevin
knocking at my door at my apartment at the Port Charles Hotel. I
couldn't believe that Kevin was there. I did notice something different
in his eyes. I had been seeing Scott at the time as you know, but I
never thought I would have a chance with my Doc again. I was positive it
was over between us and I was trying to move on with my life. Then Kevin
asked if he come in and talk to me. Kevin shocked me by telling it was
all over with Eve and asked me for my forgiveness for deserting me at
our wedding. I smiled and told him I had forgiven him a long time ago.
Then my Doc picked up my hand, look me straight into my eyes, and told
me he still loved me. He wanted to know if I felt the same way, then
asked it was too late for us.''
Lucy started crying, ''Those were the words I wanted to hear for so
long, but never believed it would happen. I realize at the moment that
Doc was and had been the only man for me. Also, I also trying to move on
with Scott was a big mistake. Then I told Kevin I wanted us back
together and I was sorry for all the mistakes I had made.''
Kevin pulled Lucy into his arms, ''We decided at the moment to have
counseling with Gail in order to help repair the damage in our
relationship. Later that day, Lucy ended things with Scott.
Lucy kissed, ''It was hard ending things with Scott but we are better
friends because of it. It took a while but now Kevin and I now are
engaged. We decided we never wanted to be apart again. See, my lovely
ring, Robin, that Kevin gave me.''
''It's lovely, Lucy,'' Robin said admiring the ring, ''I'm so happy that
you two are back together.''
Kevin smiled, ''So are we. But we should leave. I'm sorry that you can
not come to Egypt with us.''
Robin said sadly, ''So, I am. But I have school. Nicholas has arranged
to have a guard watching me if case Faison tries to pull anything.''
Kevin and Lucy both hugged Robin, ''Bye, take care. We will keep you
updated on Lucky and I'm glad that Nicholas is looking after you.''
Robin smiled, ''Thanks. I love you both.''
Then she walked them outside and to their rented car.
Paris, France
Roissy-Charles de Gaulle International Airport.
Air France Jet
September 13, 1999
1:30pm
Ryan stared out of his window and
observed the planes departing and arriving at the airport. He was
excited to leave Paris and see what Faison had planned for Luke and
Laura. He thought about Faison's words which he kept repeating in every
message to the group.
He is blindfold around the world to a
secret location
Where in the World is Lucky Spencer?
Ryan thought that Faison was very smart
to always be ahead of the group and wondered where Lucky was now in
Cairo. Ryan smiled, for Faison was almost as clever as him and was
curious to see what he was up with Lucky. Then when Faison was
distracting everyone, that would be the perfect time for him to snatch
Felicia. Ryan smirked for that thought alone made up for the long six
hour flight to Cairo.
Suddenly his thoughts were interrupted by a woman saying, ''Thank
goodness, we caught on our flight on time.''
Ryan looked and to his horror noticed the woman was Tammy, his nurse
along with office assistance, Melissa.
Ryan muttered to himself, ''What the hell are they doing here flying to
Cairo.''
Then he noticed Tammy and Melissa heading his direction and sat right
beside him.
''Ryan!'' Tammy exclaimed in the seat right beside Ryan, ''I can't
believe that we are both heading to Egypt.''
''Isn't that exciting!!'' Melissa chimed in, ''Perhaps all three of us
can go on our tour together.''
''No!' Ryan snapped, ''I will not be joining you two!!!!!''
Ryan felt himself shaking as they both stared at him. The last thing he
needed was those two following him. There was no way he could complete
his plans with Tammy and Melissa around. Finally, he thought of
something to say to them.
He gained his composure and smoothly said, ''I'm so sorry, I snapped at
my favorite employees. I had a long day so far and I am very tired. As
for Cairo, I have plans with some old friends and they will be showing
me the sites. You see, I haven't seen them in a couple of years.''
Tammy smiled, ''Of course, we understand and we don't want to interfere
in your plans.''
Ryan smiled back, ''Thank you, Tammy and Melissa. Oh, the flight
attendant is going to speak now.''
Then he faced the window and smirked. He took care of Tammy and Melissa.
Now it's Felicia turn.
Roissy Charles de Gaulle International Airport
Terminal CDG Flight CCA
Same day

''Is everybody here and ready to go,'' asked Nicholas.
''Leslie and Lulu are in the Cassadine Jet already but Mac and Felicia
haven't arrived yet. I wonder where they are,'' said a worried Laura.
''Oh, they had just to buy something for Maxie and Georgie, but they
said they would right over,'' replied Lucy.
Luke chuckled, ''I knew it. Mac is always the slow one of the group.
After all his police department works as slow as snails under his
leadership.''
Kevin glared at him, ''Mac is an excellent police commissor and his
police department do a fine job. For your information, Mac arranged for
a leave a absence from work to search for Lucky.''
Luke rolled his eyes, ''Doc! Calm down. I was only kidding. You are too
serious for your good.''
Then Luke slapped Kevin on the back which ticked Kevin off even more.
Lucy whispered, ''Doc! It's just Luke being Luke. Please play along with
him for me.''
Kevin smiled, ''You're right Luke. I should lighten and be like you more
Luke grinned back and then returned his attention to Laura.
Kevin whispered to Lucy, ''I'm only being nice to Luke because of you.
Remember, you owe me big time''
Lucy kissed him, ''Don't worry, I will show my appreciation later.''
Kevin smugly said, ''You'll bet you will.''
Meanwhile somewhere in the airport,
Felicia and Mac were running to find the terminal. Then Felicia saw the
group in the distance and shouted, ''There they are!!''
She was so excited that she ran straight ahead with his luggage and
crashed into to some lady throwing both of them to the floor.
''Oh, I'm so sorry for running into you! It was my fault for not
looking.'' Felicia said out of breath.
''It's okay! These things happen!'' the lady laughed.
Felicia look up at the lady and gasped, ''V!!! What are you doing
here??'' |
