Eternally Yours--Chapter 11 Marlena Snaps out of it
"What the hell do you think that you're doing?" John asked pulling Kristen off of him.
"Make love to me John." she begged him. "I know that I could make you so happy if you'd only let me."
"Kristen, my happiness is with Doc." he said as she pulled on his shirt causing it to rip.
"She's so wrong for you." Kristen added to him as she slipped out of her dress. "I can love you so much better."
"Get a life Kristen." John replied in disgust as she continued to strip out of her clothes. "I'm leaving."
"Wait." she insisted falling to the floor grabbing his leg.
"Get off of me woman." John said looking down at her. "You know, I'll have no problem dragging you out into the cold in your underwear if you don't let go of me."
"I love you John." she pleaded tightening her grip.
"Let go." he insisted shaking her off of his leg.
"Please don't go." she begged as he shook free of her grasp.
"Good night Kristen." he said slamming the door behind him.
"Oh Doc, I love you so much." Roman whispered pulling back from their embrace. "I've waited so long for you to say those words to me. I want to make love to you so badly."
"Oh baby." Marlena smiled thinking about John. "I want to be with you too."
"Then let's make love Doc." Roman insisted pulling his shirt off and moving back on top of her.
Marlena felt his strong arms wrap around her as she responded to his touch. She could feel her body starting to melt into his arms, when suddenly she was struck with an unpleasant feeling. When he moved in to kiss her again, she knew that something was wrong, that something was missing.
"Oh God." she said opening her eyes to see Roman.
"Doc," Roman smiled at her.
"What are we doing?" she asked noticing that they both had their shirts off.
"We were about to make love Doc." he explained slowly touching the shoulder strap on her bra.
"We can't do this." she insisted grabbing her shirt and standing up quickly. "I'm sorry."
"What's wrong Doc?" Roman asked as she ran up the stairs crying. "What did I do?"
"Abe, I know it's late, but I need to talk to you." John said as Abe opened the his front door.
"What is it buddy?" Abe asked inviting him inside the house.
"I can't take any of this anymore." John explained slumping onto the couch.
"Marlena problems?" Abe questioned.
"Sort of." John said looking at his friend. "Tonight Roman took all of us to the theater and to the penthouse grill for dancing and all I could think of was taking Doc back to the Penthouse and making love to her. Abe I hate having to hide my feelings for her."
"John, I know that everyone is trying to spare Roman's feelings, but maybe it's time for you and Marlena to come clean." Abe said walking towards the kitchen to put on a pot of tea.
"You really think so?" John asked looking at Abe.
"Yeah, I do." Abe said looking John over. "I know that the news is going to hurt him, but I think that it's about time for him to know the truth about you and Marlena. If you don't tell him soon, it's going to tear you apart John."
"You're right Abe." John said standing up and walking towards the door.
"Where are you going now?" Abe asked looking at John.
"I'm going to the Penthouse tonight so that I can get this out in the open." John explained walking out of the house.
"Abe, what's going on?" Lexie asked walking out into the living room.
"I think that I may have just added fuel to John's fire." Abe replied worried as he watched his best friend speed off into the darkness.
