Chapter 3: Some Things Will Never Change

Chapter 3:

"I'm telling you, father, if this plan doesn't work, nothing will," Jullian said as he sat down in his chair. He still had a blood mark from earlier that day when Luis had decked him for slapping Sheridan. "Don't worry, Jullian. This plan will work perfectly. Luis and Sheridan will never ever be together." Alistair said. Suddenly, the door opened and someone stepped into Jullian's office. He immediately recognized the person. "It seems that our little helper is here. I'll have to call you back father," Jullian said and he hung up the phone. He turned to the person, "Please, have a seat." "No thanks. I'll stand," the person said. "Fine... are you willing to take the job? Will you separate Luis and Sheridan for good, Miss Wallace?" "Yes," Beth said, "I will do anything to make sure that Luis is mine. He will never marry Sheridan.

"No problem. Nothing can stop me from getting what I want... and I want Luis." Beth said smiling evilly. "Well... you will have him soon... and your fortune," Jullian said as he pulled out a brief case that was filled with money. Beth smiled. 'By the time I'm through, Luis will be mine and Sheridan will be history.'

At Sheridan and Luis's house, Luis and Sheridan were engaged in a passionate kiss. They sat down on the couch and Luis laid down on top of her. He ran his hands up and down her sides. He pulled away and started to kiss her neck sensually. "Luis..." "What?" Luis said before returning to kissing her neck. "We need to stop." "Hell no... you can't just... kiss me and... stop just like that," Luis said between kisses. "We have a wedding to plan," Sheridan said laughing.

Luis pulled back and looked into her eyes intensely. "We have a long long time to do that... right now, all I want to do is be with you. I want you Sheridan, right now." Sheridan smiled at him. He knew exactly how to get to her. She couldn't take it anymore. She threw herself at him and kissed him with all the passion inside of her. He drove her wild. Luis kissed her back with equal intensity. They started to run their hands up and down their bodies.

Luis scooped Sheridan into his arms and carried her into the bedroom. Once they were inside, Luis laid her down on the bed, coming down on top of her He pressed his body tightly against hers. They continued to kiss each other as Luis pulled Sheridan's shirt over her head and threw it on the ground. Sheridan did the same thing to Luis. Luis left her mouth and started to kiss his way down her neck, making his way to her chest. He unhooked her bra and started to kiss her well developed breasts while she pulled off her skirt. He made his way back up to her lips and kissed her vigorously. They continued to undress each other and they slipped under the covers, where they made passionate love.

Beth had just walked out of the Crane Mansion, with a satisfied smile on her face. She had come up with the perfect plan to get rid of Sheridan and be with Luis forever. She knew exactly what to do and there was no way that she could fail. 'Enjoy your time that you have with Luis now, Sheridan, because by this time tommorrow, he will be mine.' Beth thought as she smiled an evil smile.

Beth decided to start out her plan, so she headed to Luis and Sheridan's house. She saw the car was in the driveway, so someone was obviously home, she just hoped that it was Sheridan instead of Luis, and that she was alone. She walked up to the door and knocked on it many times. There was no answer. She continued to knock for another few minutes, but no one answer.

Inside, Luis was kissing Sheridan's neck when they heard someone knocking on the door. "Luis..." "Yeah," Luis said as he pulled back and looked deeply into her eyes. "There's someone at the door." Luis caressed her cheek with his hand and said, "Ignore them. Nothing is more important than being with you right now." Luis said and he leaned in for another kiss.

Back outside, Beth was getting frustrate that no one was answering the door. "Dammit. What is going on in there?" She walked around the other side of the house and peered in the window. She felt her heart break as she saw Luis and Sheridan lying on the bed, making love to each other. She could hear them talking inside.

"Oh Luis... I love you so much," Sheridan moaned. Luis pulled back, "I love you too, Sheridan. I will never stop loving you, no matter what. Nothing can ever keep us apart. I promise." Sheridan again pulled him into a passionate kiss. Beth looked away from the window in digust and jealousy. She couldn't stand to see them like that. Not when that was supposed to be her in bed with Luis, not Sheridan.

She walked away from the house. 'I've gotta get Luis away from Sheridan for a little while, but how?' Beth thought to herself. Suddenly, a smile came to her face as she got the perfect idea. She went to a payphone and called someone up. After she was done with her phone call, she hung up and looked at the house with a smile on her face. 'Very soon, Luis, you will be mine.' Beth thought.

Inside, Luis and Sheridan were making love to each other, when suddenly, the phone rang. They both tried to ignore it. They were too involved with each other. The answering maching came on, "You have reach Luis and the soon-to-be Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald. We are a little caught up at the moment, so we can't come to the phone right now, but leave a message and we'll call you back... (beep)."

"Luis... Luis... it's Sam. Pick up the phone. We have a problem." Luis peered up as he heard Sam's voice. He had to pick up the phone. Sheridan gave him an understanding look and Luis picked up the phone. "Hi Sam." "Luis... how are you?" Sheridan started to run her hands around his torso and it was making Luis crazy. He had to force himself not to moan out loud. "Never been better, Sam," Luis said, smiling. "Luis... we got an anonymous call to the station about a mugger down at the wharf. I need you to get down there and check it out." Luis sighed sadly and said, "All right, Sam."

He hung up and turned back to Sheridan, with a sad look on his face. Sheridan frowned when she knew that something was wrong. Luis said, "Sam called and asked if I could go to wharf to check out the area for a mugger. Is it all right with you if I go?" "Sure Luis," Sheridan said, all though inside she really wanted him to stay with her, but this was his job, he had to go. "Are you sure?" Luis asked. Sheridan smiled, "I'm sure. We have the rest of our lives for this. It can wait." Luis smiled. She was so caring and understanding. He leaned in and kissed her gently.

They got up and got dressed again. When Luis was ready, he kissed Sheridan on the cheek and said, "I love you, angel, and I'll be back soon." Sheridan smiled. Angel... she liked the sound of that. "I love you too, sweetheart. I'll be waiting." Luis smiled and left the house. Sheridan watched Luis leave the house and sighed deeply. She couldn't wait for him to get home, so she could make love to him. She walked to the couch and fell onto it, starring up at the ceiling. Back outside, Beth watched Luis leave and made sure that he couldn't come back. "Great... now is my chance." Beth said as she went up to the cottage. It was time to start her plan...
