Love is On The Way-7

Love is On the Way 7

Kronos was the most beautiful place Brenda had ever seen. She felt like she was on a green jewel in the middle of the beautiful blue expanse of the Adriatic. It was the most luxurious and seductive private paradise anywhere on the planet. It was like a little piece of paradise hidden away just for them. Lush green foliage and colorful blooming plants and flowers covered the place it was like an Eden on earth. Picture perfect volcanoes and mountains filled the skyline, which was the clearest color of blue. The volcanoes were only active every thousand years or so but they did leave behind the beautiful black sand beaches that covered the island that Brenda had fallen in love with. They were a nice contrast to the 3 white sand beaches on the island.

The beaches were the most amazing part of the island to Brenda besides the actual mansion itself. The brilliant white of the Kronos compound shimmered in the sunlight. The main house itself was at the center of an immense half-circular shaped configuration. Around the main house there were 12 smaller 2 story houses each with its own private pool and veranda and all the interconnected houses embraced a courtyard that contained fountains in the middle of what appeared to be a quad. Each house had different decorations and theme to them which was what was most amazing to Brenda when Jax had taken her on the tour of the island.

She was completely in awe of everything that occupied space on the island. But as she sat on the sand and worked on her already fabulous tan and watched Jax surf she really noticed how much she loved the beaches on the island. The gentle rush of the waves splashing up against the shore was the soothing backdrop as she lay sprawled out in a lounge chair she had brought down to the beach. She wore a white bikini that heightened the effects of her tan and very cool black rayban sunglasses.

She absolutely loved the black sand beaches and the way the azure harbors were crystal clear. It was the most beautiful color she had ever seen and it was also the closest color she had seen ever that resembled Jax's eyes, which made it even more beautiful. The whole place looked like a playground for Gods, which was completely appropriate since Jax was an Adonis in himself and she fit the bill of a perfect Venus.

As she laid there she replayed all the fun they'd had since their arrival five days ago like a movie in her mind: When they had arrived late Saturday night the first thing they did was go to sleep. The whole last week had been incredibly exhausting emotionally for both of them and Saturday was the worst. By the time they had gotten there all they wanted to do was sleep especially since they had talked all the way there while Miles flew the plane. Against her protests he and the guys decided to stay on the island in one of the smaller homes connected to the main house where she and Jax were. He only opted for there so that she and Jax could have their privacy.

Sunday was spent in bed in Brenda's room. Unfortunately they hadn't made love yet because they both knew that they couldn't, not because they would regret it or they didn't want to G*d knows they wanted to, but it wouldn't mean as much until they had laid everything out on the table. But what they did do was lay in bed and hold each other while they talked. Everything they had gone through the last 10 months seemed worth the wait if this was the end result and they both knew it. After they talked for hours, they promised each other over dinner with the sun setting as their backdrop, that they would never keep anything from each other and that they would always be there for each other no matter what. And they promised once again that this time Nobody Leaves no matter what, no matter how bad it got they'd stay together. They sealed all their problems with a kiss and it was more meaningful than any words because this time they truly knew in both of their minds and hearts that everything was finally right in place, and completely the way it should be between them for once. When the kiss had started to heat up Jax had stopped everything and he told her that everything had to be perfect when they made love for the first time again and she suggested starting with a shower. So they moved everything to his room since his bathroom was bigger and Brenda hadn't seen his room yet. As she went to start the shower he got up lit candles all over the room and put fresh satin sheets on the bed and rose pedals between the sheets and made sure soft music was playing as he stripped himself of his clothes and went to join Brenda in the bathroom.

When he walked in he noticed that great minds were obviously thinking alike as he walked in and saw that Brenda had lit the bathroom with vanilla scented candles as well. They were everywhere and he could barely see her in the shower because the water was so hot that it had steamed up the glass doors. What he could make out was Brenda's very naked silhouette and that made him almost forget about the obvious foreplay and take her right there on the bathroom floor. But he remembered that with Brenda the journey was almost always more fun than the final destination but oh what a final destination it was. Before he got lost too entirely in his own thoughts he stepped into the shower with Brenda. She didn't even turn around but he could almost feel her smiling even with her not looking at him. He figured she would keep playing the game of who surrenders first until the very final second.

He paused for a moment, but only briefly, he was unable to say anything as she turned around and began lightly scrubbing his chest with a sponge that felt heavenly but not more heavenly than when her hands took over massaging the soap into his chest. He turned her around and wround his hands in her hair as he washed her back and then came around to her stomach and chest. He still said nothing, as he looked into her eyes. I want you. Those were the words running through his mind and on the tip of his tongue. It was the only thing he could think of at the moment as her hands kept moving in a circular motion on his chest and then kept moving progressively lower as they reached his stomach and then she reached around to wash his back. He was about to tell her when he leaned closer but he kissed her instead, lightly at first and then as he felt her responding and smiling into his lips his kisses became more and more intense. He paused briefly so that they could both catch their breaths and then he picked her up and she was in his arms instantly. They were clinging to each other and all Brenda could think was I've wanted for this for so long, longed to have you in my arms again. She wanted to tell him but at the moment her lips were busy.

He whisked them both out of the shower as she reached behind him to turn off the water. He could barely get the door open because she was completely in his arms and they were so close that their bodies were practically melded together at the moment they both kept thinking how perfectly they fit together. She showered him with kisses, on his cheeks, his eyes, his brow, his neck, his ears and her favorite spot behind his left ear. Then as stopped showering her chest with kisses he dragged his mouth back to hers and they fell onto the bed into the satin sheets covered in rose pedals. Brenda thought nothing felt better, nothing could have heightened what she was experiencing more than this until she felt the bed move and noticed that it was a water bed, that definitely heightened her senses.

Arms entwined, legs entwined, mouth on mouth, hands caressing and exploring familiar territory was how they spent the next few hours until Jax gave himself up to her and the pure joy her touch gave him. As he moved deeper and deeper into the sheer bliss of this feeling, that he knew he could only capture with this woman, he knew that his heart had finally found its other half. She had liberated him, set him free, and with her he soared. And Brenda had known and felt it too. Jax filled her up like no one else before him and like no one else ever could, she knew that now as she had known so long ago. He had found her or they had found each other and he had fill the void in her, filled the darkness with light, and as they moved deeper and deeper into each other she felt like there was a total cessation of pain all of it was pushed away by the sheer pleasure that was Jax. They both wanted it to last forever but Brenda thought that if it continued she was going to die from a heart attack but what a way to go. Finally as Jax kissed her jawline she arched herself into him as he shuddered over her and they were both racked by spasms as their trip to paradise ended and they floated back to earth.

Monday - They had played water polo, had swimming races, and had a Jet Ski race, surfed etc. they did anything to keep in the water. They had even convinced Miles too shed his chinos and come in for a swim. Once in the water Jax and Miles had teamed up on Brenda and splashed her repeatedly and then began to dunk her until they were all just in the water laughing their heads off. After they had all gotten dry Miles and Kenny were making another sweep of the grounds when Miles got hit with a water balloon meant for Brenda since she and Jax were playing war complete with water balloon grenades and super soaker water guns. As he stood there and watch them laugh and then watched as Kenny got hit with another one they teamed up against Jax and Brenda in the fight and they had all ended up having a great amount of fun.

Tuesday they explored the island since Brenda had been dying to see every inch of it before they left. She and Jax also christened every beach and house that connected to the main house very thoroughly before they moved on. After their exploration they were both exhausted and so they decided to stay in for the rest of the night. They had dinner on the outside terrace overlooking one of the white sand beaches.

Wednesday was hectic. They both had a bit of business to finish and Brenda had to call Lucian about her tutoring. He basically gave her a couple of assignments to do so that when she got back everything would be on track. He told her that even though the work would be on track they'd have to have a long session when she got back to go over everything. She wrote everything down, grateful that Miles had packed her books with her clothes, and then she did some work for Barrett Industries while Jacks worked on some J&J Jacks pressing business. They made quite a pair sitting there with two copies of the Wall Street Journal open while they typed on their laptops. Finally when they were both done they had lunch in the kitchen while Jax filled Brenda in on the meeting about the docks project she missed when she left for Asia and she made a mental note on some people to call when she got back to PC. After lunch Jax took a nap while Brenda did some homework and when he woke up and went downstairs dinner was already ready and he found Brenda curled up on the couch with a notebook, a calculator, and a business book of some kind with her headphones on. He thought he had never seen her look more adorable than right at that moment. He watched her for a few minutes before she looked up and smiled at him while she put her books away and they had dinner by candlelight. After dinner they had a private session of their over the topic of each others' respective anatomy.

Thursday they had gone deep-sea scuba diving. Then they played on the wave runners that Brenda loved. Then remembering how she talked about how much she loved riding horse back on the beach but never got to do it anymore Jax had taken her inside for lunch and a shower and then told her to put on something comfortable. When they came back outside there were 2 black stallions waiting for them that Jax had had brought to the island. Brenda couldn't believe it but it was so Jax that she knew it was real. They had had a lot of fun riding on the beach together. Especially when they had taken only one horse out and Brenda had rode in front of Jax and then somehow managed to turn herself around as they rode. Jax's senses were on overdrive and he couldn't believe that they were actually going to try and make love on a horse while riding on the beach---but of course they did, they always seemed to do the unbelievable when they were together. When they got back they took a bath together and fell asleep in each other's arms in a happy bliss.

Now as she sat there she realized how truly lucky she was to have him. Brenda watched Jax as he ran up to her from the ocean in nothing but a Speedo and carrying his surf board and she smiled at him, that smile that lit up her whole face and made Jax's heart do major flip flops. All he did was smile back at her and wave as he ran up the to her through the sand. As he sat his surfboard down he laid right smack on top of her getting her completely wet as she squealed with mock indignation.

" You got me wet you geek!" She said in mock anger but making no attempt to move from underneath him.

" Yeah but I'm your favorite geek of the month." He said laughing back.

" Yep you are, everyday and twice on Sundays." She said kissing him. " So what's on the agenda today?" She asked him.

" Well you know we have to get back to reality soon and I was thinking that maybe we should go back into reality married." He said running his hands through his hair as he looked at her and then a ring appeared in his hands out of nowhere. Brenda couldn't believe it she didn't know what to say. When she didn't say anything Jax got worried that he was going to fast and he started to apologize. " Bren, I'm sorry. If we're moving to fast then we can slow down or back up whatever you want." He said but before he could say anything else Brenda was kissing him and he took her exuberance to mean that she wasn't upset at all.

" Jax whatever would make you think I don't want to marry you? I want nothing more to be with you forever. Waking up with you every morning and sleeping with you every night." Brenda said.

" Well when you didn't say anything I thought maybe I had made a mistake." He said.

" You didn't I was just surprised that's all. I love you so much and I'd rather die than hurt you like I did before. So before we start making any plans I have to know are you sure that you want to take a chance on marriage with me again." She said looking down at her hands.

" Brenda I thought you knew by now that there is nobody else for me but you. You've ruined me for every other woman and I just can't imagine being without you ever. Does that answer your question?" He said turning her chin so that her eyes would meet his.

" Yes. So are you going to put that ring on my finger or what?" She said.

" You better believe it." He said as he kissed her and then slipped the ring on finger.

"Jax I can't believe that you never gave this back to your mother." She said admiring the beautiful ring Jax had just put on her finger.

" Well I was saving it for you I guess. That's the only reason I can guess I kept locked in my office close to me all the time." He said.

" I love you." She said as she just shook her head in amazement of him.

" I know and I love you back." He said kissing her very intensely.

" Well before we get carried away when do you want to get married?" She said pushing herself up on her elbows.

" I was very serious when I said I wanted to get married before we went back to Port Charles. In fact we're getting married tonight." He said looking at her.

" WHAT? Jax we can't I mean I want your parents to be here and Lois and Robin. I can't get married without them it's got to be what's causing my bad luck. Both times I got married they weren't there and it didn't happen. I mean I just can't possibly have another wedding without them. And of course Emily and Ned have to be here and Lila and Edward. I mean despite that despicable mini mobster I want Mike at my wedding. And I have to have Lucy there I mean she was really great to me before and I really want your parents there and Ruby. I mean and Jules just can't miss it and I know you want Jerry there and Thao, Augustin, Paolo and the Contessa. We just can't possibly get married like this." She said as she was now up pacing back in forth in front of Jax.

" Brenda calm down. I knew you were going to say that and.." Before he could finish Brenda was talking again.

" And honey I don't even have a dress or anything. You don't have a tux at least I don't think you do and then what about a priest, we can't get married without a priest Jax. I mean we're on an island I don't exactly see any churches or city halls with a judge to marry us." She said.

" Brenda stop it. If you listen to me for a second, I can explain. I already took care of everything you just said. As a matter of fact Miles sent Kenny to round up everyone from Port Charles he is going to use one of my jets and Ned is using the Quartermaines jet and they should be arriving at the same time since they all left at the same time. My parents are flying from Alaska and I guess Jerry is coming too." Jax said smiling as he saw her start to do her Brenda dance.

" I love you more and more everyday. So you mean to tell me that we're getting married for real tonight. Finally. And I get to meet your brother, I can't wait. I mean I have been dying to meet him like forever. I have never even seen pictures of him before. Does he look like you? Do you have pictures?" Brenda asked eagerly.

" Yes we are really getting married tonight. Yes everyone important to us is coming. No Jerry doesn't look like me and no I don't have pictures. You'll just have to be pleasantly surprised when you meet him. So are you happy? Because I wanted to make you happy, Brenda." He said looking at her.

" Jax I am sooooo happy. And just being with you makes me happy. Just sitting here doing nothing makes me happy as long as I am with you." She said kissing his lips tenderly.

" I feel the same way. Now should we take advantage of our time left before everyone arrives or do you want to sit here and do nothing." Jax said looking at her seductively.

" I'll race you to the bed." She said as she got up and took off with Jax right on her heels laughing. He finally caught her and he just swept her up in his arms as he ran with her laughing to the main house.

On the Jacks airplane.

John, Jane and Jerry were all on the plane on their way to Kronos when Jerry looked over at his parents and how they were drooling all over themselves because Jax was finally getting married to this Brenda person. He had never seen her or met her and he wasn't exactly looking forward to it. If Jax had gone and gotten engaged to a model than he had made the biggest mistake of his life. All models are the same, Jerry thought quietly to himself, stupid and only after one thing --money. And this Brenda person was a Barrett which means she was related to Julia. Julia had told him about her wild younger sister when they had dated ages ago and he just couldn't picture Jax with someone like that. Although he could see how Jax could be attracted to something like that he just couldn't imagine he'd marry her especially after the debacle with the wannabe mobster.

Speaking of him, Sonny that is, he knew he was in town and he and his father were going to have to do something because they could not afford for anything to screw up this docks project. That was just one reason he was dreading going to Port Charles. The other reason no one knew about and he had no intention on revealing it to anyone either. Although he was going to have to tell them something sooner or later because his dad knew that something else besides what was going on with business was bothering him. When his dad had suggested it had something to do with a woman he shrugged him off thinking he just had no idea. Women in general, for Jerry, were a fine species. He liked them, to bed them that is and then move onto his next conquest. But there was one young lady, years ago, who had caught his eye while he was in Europe and she was the biggest challenge of his life. He had never bedded her nor even got farther than a kiss. But he'd never forgotten her. All he knew was she played games the way he played games and he never really knew anything of significance about her except her name. Veronica. They never really knew each other except for first names, it kinda kept the mystery of everything in tact. And he had a picture of her but that was all. He had wanted to find her but at the same time he hadn't wanted to because unlike other women she made him want to do things like monogamy and that was a sin if Jerry had ever heard of one. She was the reason he made it a point to avoid the States because that was her destination and he never quite knew where she was residing at so he didn't want to take the chance of running into her anywhere. She seemed like the social type so he figured she'd be in a big city atmosphere like Boston, New York, Chicago. And now with that in mind he was about to be closer to her than ever before especially in Port Charles. But things were different now he was in his thirties and she had to only be in her mid twenties since he had met her while she was still young highschool probably, he was still in college back then, just before she came to the states for good.

Jerry had a frown on his face, the one he had when he was in deep thought and his mother picked up on it right away.

" Jerry is something wrong dear?" Jane asked touching his mother's arm.

" No mum. I just haven't seen Jax in the longest time and I am anxious to seem him. And I can't believe the way you are all killing yourselves over the fact that he his going to marry some airhead model." Jerry said rolling his eyes.

" Jerry, Brenda is a lovely girl. She is not an airhead especially if she bested us at our own game of Jacks Hit." Jane said.

" Not only that she sits second chair to Julia as CEO of Barrett Industries and that definitely takes brains. Besides all that your brother is happy and that is all that counts. She makes him happy so don't you go trying to scare her off." John said.

" No I think he should try John. I mean we already know that Brenda can hold her own and I think your pig headed son should learn for himself how much of a Jacks she truly is." Jane said.

" Oh when he's pig headed he's my son. But when he's brilliant he's your son." John said looking at Jane as they both laughed.

" You guys are both crazy. I don't care whose son I am. But I do know whose brother I am and I won't let him get hurt." Jerry said.

" You can't protect your brother from life Jerry. You'd think you had learned that the first time with the Miranda debacle. I know we certainly did." Jane said.

" Well that would have worked out too in his best interest if Corinthos hadn't been snooping around and that was Brenda's fault too. Don't you see that the girl is nothing but trouble." Jerry said.

" Oh there is no reasoning with you is there. You'll just have to see for yourself. In the meantime I am going to go and lie down for the rest of the trip. I wanted to be well rested for the big event." Jane said as she got up and kissed John and Jerry on the cheek and went into the back to lie down on one of the couches.

" Now son why don't you tell me what's really going on. Because I know your brother's marriage to Brenda is not it." John said.

" Dad you think too much. I am fine. I just don't want to have to go to the States is all. I like living abroad. That and the fact that I don't feel like dealing with mobsters right now, especially John Gotti wannabes like Corinthos and Morgan. I wish they would just leave the docks project alone so that we could get it over with. Jax will seriously be upset if he finds out that we have been interfering in his end of business and the reasons that we had to interfere in the first place. And mother.well she'll probably kill us both after she gets us out of the whole Jax will have thrown us in." Jerry said rubbing his temples.

" Jerry we are working on this now because it is important. We can't afford any screw ups. Now I can't very well be in Port Charles very long because you know your brother will get suspicious. Jax is a lot of things but stupid he isn't. If you go it'll be suspicious but you can give some headway into that especially with them getting married and everything. Offer your help and then see what happens." John said. '

" Dad have you thought that maybe we shouldn't be doing this. I mean we're rich enough now where we don't have to be involved in this anymore. I want better for Jax than this. And I am tired of lying to him, maybe we should just stop trying to protect him and just let him in for once." Jerry said.

" Son we can't help the way we raised our fortune and we have a lot of deals in the works with these people and we can't just back out. Once you're in, you're in and that's it. You knew that when you got involved and I told you not to. We can't change who we are and Jax can never know." John said.

" I know Dad.but for once I would like to be able to look at my brother and not feel guilty every time I look into his eyes and see the trust and know that I am not deserving of it. But what the hellwhat's done is done." Jerry said.

" Yes and we can never go back. Now let's talk about the docks project and all the players. I assume they will all be at the wedding so you'll be able to see and meet them all." John said.

" I don't know why we are talking about this. I know what needs to be done. Jason is the only obstacle and he's only an obstacle because of his intrusive family and that idiot Corinthos." Jerry said.

" Yes but we need to be weary of his lawyer Justus Ward. Also we can't harm Jason in any way that leads back to us because of his ex-girlfriend Robin Scorpio. They aren't together but she cares about him and Corinthos and as much as I hate it she is one of Brenda's best friends and she and Jax have become quite close as well. Also Morgan has a son to raise. I know what it's like to be a father and I don't want to take a man away from his kid." John said.

" Yes I know. But Morgan is not the kid's father his brother A.J. is. So technically if that came out it would throw him off kilter and they, Morgan and his family, would be in a war which would be a major distraction. A distraction that could work well in our favor." Jerry said.

" You and your sources. Anyway I don't want to do that either. We don't use women and children as bargaining chips in business and we're not going to start now. If that happens of its own volition then we can attack because it's his own weakness that he let come to light. But that is the only way we will exploit that particular weakness." John said.

" Okay whatever you say." At that moment Jerry's phone rang. " Hold on a second, Dad." Jerry said taking the call. When he got off the phone, John was looking at him expectantly.

" Well boy what's going on?" John said.

" Well apparently somebody slipped up and Corinthos knows that we, or rather I, have been working with Carlos Ruiz and he is planning to tell all." Jerry said.

" Damn it! That is not what we needed. Who did he get his information from?" John said.

" It doesn't matter he killed the guy after the guy ratted us out. But they have bank records of money transfers and all the laundering. Dad this is going to spell disaster if any of this gets out." Jerry said.

" Okay. We can deal with him when we get back to Port Charles. He won't do anything without us there, he's the kind of idiot that wants to toy with his victims first. That should give us enough time to get some kind of plan together. We need to make sure that nothing could be traced back to us." John said.

" Okay Dad." Jerry said.

" Well we're not going to talk anymore about it right now because we're going to concentrate on nothing but getting your brother married. He'll know something's up if we've got this on the brain when we get to Kronos." John said.

" Whatever you say." Jerry said as he opened up his laptop to play a game of computerized chess.

On Kronos.

Jax and Brenda were laying on the floor in the living room. That was as far as they got when they were trying to make it to the bedroom. Actually they had made it to the couch but in their frenzy ended up on the floor.

" Jax you know we are really crazy." Brenda said as she started to laugh hysterically.

" What are you talking about?" Jax said laughing with her but not really knowing what he was laughing at, but her laughter was contagious and he couldn't help it.

" We're going to get married after the "honeymoon" so to speak. I mean before we had the whole wedding after the marriage and wedding night before the wedding day thing going. Now we've already had the honeymoon but we're not married yet." She said laughing even harder.

" Yeah we are pretty backwards, aren't we?" Jax said.

" Nope, we're just eccentric." Brenda said kissing his nose as she turned in his arms so that she was facing him.

" Well we better get up before everyone gets here. We don't want them to find us like this do you." Jax said looking at their naked bodies underneath the throw blanket they were laying underneath.

" Well you don't look so bad in your birthday suit." Brenda said laughing.

" Neither do you. How about if I check it out again to make sure that it's all there. None of the accessories are missing." Jax said as ran his hand along her body.

" I say go for it, Mr. Jacks." Brenda said as they kissed. Engrossed in the kiss Jax began pulling her up so that they could make it to the couch but they never did. Brenda had her legs locked around Jax's waist and he was sitting up with his legs out and his back on the couch, she was sitting on top of him sort of between his legs. From the stomach down they were covered with the blanket but from the stomach up they were still in their birthday suits. Fortunately for them Jax had his arms completely wrapped around Brenda and they were so close together you couldn't really see anything but her back and their arms. That was exactly how everyone found them when they walked into the house, lips locked and all. There was no sound so at first everyone thought maybe they were upstairs until they started to walk down into the sunken living room and they heard soft moans. They stopped short when they saw them. Everyone was shocked but didn't want to create an embarrassing situation for any of them. They started to walk back up the stairs when Jack went to pick up his duffel bag and tripped. Everyone turned around frozen and all Jax and Brenda did was look up to afraid to move, in fear they might expose extremities they'd rather keep private.

" Oh my God." Jack said. " Guys we are so sorry. I mean I am..we all are." Jack said trying to stand up straight.

" What do you mean we?" Jax said looking as he didn't see everyone else since they were already to far up the steps. Once the words came out of his mouth he regretted it when everyone---Michael, Julia, Lois, Alexis, Ned, Robin, Nikolas, Emily, Lucy, Kevin, Lucian, and Miles-came in and kinda waved embarrassingly. When they saw them Brenda turned the brightest shade of red and Jax looked like he might die from the shock.

" We'll just let you guys get yourselves together and I'll get everyone settled." Miles said trying to ease the tension or rather embarrassment of the whole situation. Miles was the first to walk away and everyone else just followed his lead. When they left Brenda just pushed her face into Jax's neck and they both began to laugh. When Brenda got ready to get up, Jax stopped her.

" What are you doing?" Brenda said as Jax held her hips perfectly in place on top of him.

" Brenda they are gone and I don't think we're going to have anymore unexpected visitors." Jax said as began kissing her collarbone.

" Jax I think the mood is kinda gone after getting busted. I mean I feel like a teenager who just got busted by her parents making out on the couch with her boyfriend." Brenda said trying to resist but failing miserably as she arched against him letting him kiss her chest area.

" I don't think the mood is gone but if you want to go and get dressed then let's go." Jax said making a motion to move while still kissing her.

" Nevermind." She said as they began to move together and then she captured his lips in a searing kiss and then they soared together into paradise.

In the Quads of Kronos everyone was sitting outside soaking up the scenery when Jane, John, and got there. Edward, Lila, Ruby and Mike had been out there the whole time, so they didn't get the show that everyone else did. Thao, the Contessa, Paolo and Augustin had arrived 5 minutes before the Jacks' had also.

" Well hello everyone. Where is my son and daughter?" John said as they all shook hands.

" They're getting ready." Jack said as everyone else kinda fumbled for an answer.

" Oh are they in the house?" Jane said.

" Yeah but.uhumwe're just going to wait out here for them." Emily said.

" Hi Julia." Jerry said.

" Jerry." She said coolly.

" I'm going in to find my kid brother and his soon to be bride." Jerry said to Julia as he got ready to go inside.

" Jerry well why don't you just let them come outside." She said almost dragging him away from the steps.

" Why?" He said.

" Well look we kinda all walked in and saw them in a compromising position, so why don't you just let them come to us this time." Julia said.

" Well I don't really care. Besides they are probably up and ready to go by now." Jerry said brushing past her as Miles showed Jane and John which complex they were staying in.

When Jerry walked in he looked around and saw no one so he figured it was safe to venture into the rest of the house. As he walked into the kitchen he saw a little petite raven haired beauty with a glass of milk and some chocolate chip cookies sitting at the table munching away with headphones on. She had her back to him but she was softly humming to herself to whatever she was listening to on her walkman and Jerry figured it was just one the house staff taking a break or a friend of Jax or Brenda's.

She had her eyes closed when he walked around to stand in front of her. When he saw her face his smile dropped. It couldn't possibly be her

That's when Brenda opened her eyes and took her headphones as she did and almost dropped her glass of milk when she saw Jerry.

" Jared?" Brenda said in shock. She hadn't seen him in years not since she was in boarding school. How did he know Jax, she wondered.

" Veronica?" Jerry said in astonishment. It couldn't possibly be her..not here. How did she know Brenda? She had to be a friend of Brenda's because he knew Jax didn't know her.

At that moment Jerry didn't care. All he did was reach over and kiss her like he'd never kissed anyone before, enveloping her in his arms

Feedback wanted and appreciated.
