Subject: So I cry..a little bit every day..at least one tear drop falls doesn't matter rain or shine....

It had taken every second of her time, every ounce of her willpower, and every last penny in his bank account - but his club was up and running, even better then before. She'd gotten sponsers to help her with some of the costs, huge video screens catty cornered near the ceilings displayed not only music video's, but ad's for local business'. The booths and such were donated by the diner in return for them serving off their menu. It had taken a lot of creativy, but his baby was back on a roll. The sign illuminating the street in front of it. "Illusions" written boldly, with elegent script below it. "Owner Lucas Laurence" in smaller letters. It was his club, she had just brought it back to life. At the moment she was sitting in his office, leaned back in the chair, her feet up on the desk. Clad in a red top and tight leather pants, blonde hair falling down her back as she chewed on a pen, going over numbers that Cam had just given her. The only signs of the beating that had left her in the hospital were two small scars, one on her forehead, near her hairline, and another on her lip, a thin white line that was usually covered by lip gloss.

Outwardly, he appeared to be the vibrant, cocky man he had been months ago, but inside he was suffering... -- Lucas, 04:50:56 08/08/02 Thu
- She was so wrapped up in what she was doing she didn't even look up. Instead she just brushed back her hair, leaning forward again and making a few marks on the paper. They were quickly taking back in what they had lost, give it a few more months and they would be better off then ever. A smile graced her face, she was slightly proud of herself. She'd thrown herself into it once Luc was gone. She hadn't pressed charges against him, much to the annoyance of...everyone. She just couldn't do that to him. Pushing aside memories, she pursed her lips, eyeing the paper still. (NT) -- Jasmine, 04:55:21 08/08/02 Thu
He shoved his hands into his pockets and stepped inside, head ducked, voice soft. "You're too organized... Takes away from the confusion of it all..." (NT) -- Lucas, 04:57:04 08/08/02 Thu
- Her head jerked up so fast it made her neck hurt. "Luc.." Her own voice was slightly breathless, bright green eyes wide and trained on him. She had no idea when, if he would ever be back... (NT) -- Jasmine, 04:58:51 08/08/02 Thu
He shifted from one foot to the other, brushing a hand through his hair - it had been so many months since he had seen her and she was even more beautiful than he remembered. "You... You need more clutter on the desk... Papers on the floor..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:01:26 08/08/02 Thu
- She swallowed, her eyes on him. "How..are you?" She questioned, standing up slowly, her eyes trailing over him. "I didn't know when you were coming back.." She bit her lip, suddenly worried. "I'm putting the money back in your bank account, what it took to get this place running again..." (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:03:31 08/08/02 Thu
"Don't worry about it... I don't care what you took..." Shaking his head, his eyes flit from the floor to her and then drop again. "I'm okay, Jas... How're you doing?" (NT) -- Lucas, 05:06:11 08/08/02 Thu
- "I'm ok." She drowned herself in work, in building back his dream. It was the only part of the real him she had. The last couple months hadn't been him, it wasn't the man she loved. (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:07:33 08/08/02 Thu
He runs his hands over his face, sighing softly - unable to believe what she had done for his club. "I'm not supposed to be here..." But he couldn't stay away... (NT) -- Lucas, 05:10:58 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded slowly, moving to the front of the desk, leaning in front of it. "I know...I am not allowed to talk to you." She watched him. "I tried to call you..to write you..and they told me I couldn't." (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:13:29 08/08/02 Thu
He nods slightly. "I wasn't allowed to talk to anyone outside of the facility..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:16:51 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded again. "I know..." Her voice was soft. "Did you..were you ok there?" She bit her lip, hiding the scar that she could. (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:29:22 08/08/02 Thu
He shrugs a little, more nervous then he had been around her ever before. "Sorta... I needed to be there, but I wasn't happy to be..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:32:21 08/08/02 Thu
- She leaned back against the desk before she finally just hopped up on it, eyeing him. "Did it do anything for you?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:35:57 08/08/02 Thu
He nods slowly - he didn't drink anymore and he had taken anger management courses, among other things. "Yeah..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:38:22 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded, worrying her lower lip. "Thats good...I was worried about you." She was still in love with him - it was obviously written all over her vulnerable face. (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:39:46 08/08/02 Thu
Longing to hold her in his arms again, he crosses his arms over his chest and offers a small smile. "I was worried about you too..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:42:46 08/08/02 Thu
- "I missed you too..." She let out a breath, eyes on him. (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:43:28 08/08/02 Thu
He met her gaze finally, sighing softly. "So much... You have no idea how much..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:46:06 08/08/02 Thu
- She sighed, a small smile crossing her face. "I...I don't blame you for everything that happened Luc, there was a lot going on, and you were drinking..." (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:49:23 08/08/02 Thu
Edging a little closer to her, he shakes his head. "Please don't make excuses for me, love... There are no excuses for what I did... I don't drink anymore..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:52:17 08/08/02 Thu
- Her eyes were soft on him, reflecting so much in the dark gaze that she didn't even know how to say. She hadn't even looked at another guy - they had looked at her, as soon as men heard Luc was gone, they were all vying for their chance at the golden beauty.... (NT) -- Jasmine, 05:54:46 08/08/02 Thu
He brushes a hand down her cheek. "I just... Had to let you know how honestly sorry I am for everything I put you through..." (NT) -- Lucas, 05:57:19 08/08/02 Thu
- She bit her lip, promising herself she wouldn't cry as she leaned into his touch. "God...Luc..I missed you so much." (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:04:47 08/08/02 Thu
He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help sliding his arm around her neck and pulling her to him. "I missed you too, Jasmine..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:07:32 08/08/02 Thu
- She bit her lip, her arms going around his neck - clinging to him. "Your sister was pretty torn about you being gone...but not as much as me..I hated it.." (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:10:00 08/08/02 Thu
Arms moving around her waist, he buries his face in her hair. "I'm so so sorry, Jasmine... I thought about you every minute of every day..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:12:15 08/08/02 Thu
- A lone tear slipped past her dark lashes, holding onto him tightly. "You won't leave again will you? I want you here with me." Everyone said she was crazy - but ever since it happened she insisted she would take him back in a instant. (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:19:25 08/08/02 Thu
His breath caught, squeezing her tighter. "You'll have me back?" (NT) -- Lucas, 06:20:32 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded silently against his neck, holding onto him. Employee's were drifting in and out of the back room, looking into the open door curiously, but she was oblivious to all of it. (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:24:35 08/08/02 Thu
He released a quiet sound of relief, kissing her neck, then her cheek, and then brushing his lips lightly over hers. "Jas..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:26:21 08/08/02 Thu
- Her lips were soft against his, needing him desperatly. "I've dreamnt about you for so long..." She sighed, resting her forehead against his. "Some people," including the law "don't think I should talk to you Luc." (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:28:42 08/08/02 Thu
Smiling cynically, he nods a little, hands moving to cup her face. "I don't think I should talk to you, angel..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:31:00 08/08/02 Thu
- Her eyes searched his, almost frantic. "But your going to right?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:32:38 08/08/02 Thu
He nods immediately, kissing her again. "I couldn't stay away, Jas... Not in a million years... We'll figure this out..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:36:04 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded, a sigh of relief escaping her before she pulled away, smiling. "So how do you like it?" She gestured around her, to the club. (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:38:01 08/08/02 Thu
He grins brightly, shaking his head. "It's gorgeous... You're incredible... Thank you, thank you, thank you..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:40:24 08/08/02 Thu
- She smiled brightly, biting her lip. "I am proud of it..." She took his hand, leading him out the door to the actual club, pointing upwards towards the screens. "Best investment in the world, they paid for themselves, and all the bills each month." She nodded towards the booths and tables that just screamed 'class'. "They were free, and we don't pay for food, but we don't get the profits either." She shrugged. "Didn't have the money to do anything else, but now I think it works, we don't really need the income, or the hassle of dealing with health updates and such, the diner handles all of that." (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:44:20 08/08/02 Thu
He shakes his head, looking around. "I don't believe this... I can't believe you did this..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:46:37 08/08/02 Thu
- She smiled ,looking up at him hesitantly. "It's a good disbelief though,right?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:49:23 08/08/02 Thu
He nods, grinning again. "Great disbelief." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:52:48 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded slightly, grinning before she assured him. "It's all yours too still, I made sure everyone knows that..hence the sign and your name is still on the office door and everything.." (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:55:16 08/08/02 Thu
He shakes his head, pulling her to his side. "We have to change those signs... It's ours..." (NT) -- Lucas, 06:56:41 08/08/02 Thu
- She shook her head. "Oh no, Luc, It's not ours. I didn't put one cent into this place, you put everything even if you didn't know it.." (NT) -- Jasmine, 06:58:41 08/08/02 Thu
He continued to shake his head, stubborn. "Money isn't everything... You put the hours of work in... It's ours." (NT) -- Lucas, 07:00:02 08/08/02 Thu
- She smiled, leaning up to kiss him right there in front of everyone. Her hand trailed down his jaw, sighing softly. "I love you." (NT) -- Jas, 07:04:06 08/08/02 Thu
His arm around her waist pulls her closer, returning the kiss. "I love you too." (NT) -- Lucas, 07:06:19 08/08/02 Thu
- She sighed, holding him closer to her. "I got a puppy." (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:12:31 08/08/02 Thu
He grins, kissing her cheek. "I hope it's smarter than Cam's pup..." Everyone knew about that dog - the one that Cam claimed for his all the time, was just as quick to disown. (NT) -- Lucas, 07:14:14 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded. "It's a great dane, and she's in the back, and her name is Sassy." (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:15:51 08/08/02 Thu
He groans playfully. "A great dane? Aren't those big?" (NT) -- Lucas, 07:17:24 08/08/02 Thu
- "Well, she's still a baby." She smiled softly, looking up at him - her gaze adoring. (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:19:55 08/08/02 Thu
Smiling, he dips his head to kiss her cheek. "You been staying at my place?" Since he had gotten out, he had been staying in that hotel.. (NT) -- Lucas, 07:21:56 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded. "Yeah, I pretty much let Catie have my place." (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:24:51 08/08/02 Thu
He frowns at the mention of his sister - he hadn't even hardly thought about her. "She okay?" (NT) -- Lucas, 07:27:17 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded. "Yeah she's a really great girl, I spent a lot of time with her, and Desi, while you were gone." (NT) -- Jas, 07:29:18 08/08/02 Thu
His brows raise in slight surprise before he nods. "Thanks for kinda keeping an eye on her..." He hadn't even talked to her since before the club burned down. (NT) -- Lucas, 07:32:41 08/08/02 Thu
- She nodded, smiling. "Anytime, but she's a big girl, she can take care of herself." (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:34:45 08/08/02 Thu
He frowned slightly. "Yeah... I'll have to give her a call tomorrow." (NT) -- Lucas, 07:37:22 08/08/02 Thu
- She shook her head, smoothing her fingers over his forehead. "Shh...don't frown, no frowning,this is a happy day." (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:40:12 08/08/02 Thu
He kisses her fingers and smiles again. "Sorry..." (NT) -- Lucas, 07:42:41 08/08/02 Thu
- She smiled softly, sighing with pleasure. "Wanna go home?" (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:48:51 08/08/02 Thu
He nods without hesitation. "Yes..." (NT) -- Lucas, 07:50:04 08/08/02 Thu
- She smiled tenderly, looking up at him. "Lets go then love." (NT) -- Jasmine, 07:52:57 08/08/02 Thu
Slipping an arm posessively around her waist, he leads the way out - still in awe of everything... (NT) -- Lucas, 07:55:07 08/08/02 Thu
