Part 3
Luke leaned in to Venus and whispered, " You better take cover...worl war
27 is about to take place..."
" Corinthos!! I knew you were slime but I never thought you'd stoop this
low!!" commanded the Australian , " Calling up all the tabloids and claiming
that the musk for Jax for Men is made from endagered animals in the
RAINFOREST!!!"
Venus stifeled her giggle , it *was* low, but it was very funny. Trying not
to laugh out loud she dug her long maroon nails into her palms, something
she picked up from years of Catholic school. "Whoops!" Sonny said to the
man in the most innocent voice he could conjure. Venus burst into laughter,
"Excuse me ma'am I don't find this amusing" the stranger said with a restrained
sadness. The sound of the words traveled up and down Venus' spine like a
pair of wings. Venus put her hand to her mouth , shocked by her own
reaction.
"You mobsters are all alike." barked the now intruiging voice, "Your nothing
but heartless bastards." That voice that , seconds ago, embraced her now
seemed to rip into her soul. " You imbecile" she said, disgusted.
" DO you know who you are talking to little girl" the man said slyly
" Excuse me ..." Venus whipped around on her stool, " I don't know who you
are...but I'd like to know who in God's name you THINK you are!"
They say the moment before lightning strikes there is a feeling in the air
that causes even of rocks and trees to catch their breath, as the two locked
everything in the room seemed to gasp. " I am Jasper...Jasper Jax" the man
stuttered into a whisper " You can call me Jax..." Venus' heart started to
throb, she hadn't seen eyes that blue since she walked accross the shores
of the mediterranean, blue upon blue with so many secrets beneath. She had
to forcibly remove their stare, and snap herself back into reality, " I'd
rather call you Jasper" she said trying to stretch her five foot body into
the postion of authority, " and " she said trying to convince herself she
meant the words " I am not impressed" She stood up avoiding his gaze , and
strutted into the ladies room, almost stumbling to avoid her bodies reflex
to swing her hips.
She walked into the batthroom and calmly closed the door, and walked over
to the sink. Shaking...she turned on the cold faucet placing her long hand
under the water and began splashing her entire body with it..." How..." she
gasped " how am I going to deal with this..."
