Chapter 6: Some Things Will Never Change
Chapter 6:
Sheridan had fallen asleep in Luis's arms and he stayed awake, watching
over her. He was glad that she was getting some rest. She needed it after all
that she had been through. He should have seen this coming. After all, Roger
and Pierre still hadn't been captured, and the Cranes didn't want them
together, but he never thought that Beth would stoop so low. He thought that
she was his friend. They had known each other forever. He couldn't believe
that his friend would do something like this to the woman he loved. He knew
that Beth still had strong feelings for him, but he never thought that she
could be this cold harded.
A tear trickled down Luis's cheek. It seemed like all of his friends were
betraying him. First, Hank tries to rape Sheridan, then Beth tried to kill
her. He didn't know who to trust anymore. But he knew for sure that he
couldn't trust Jullian. After that day when Jullian slapped Sheridan, he had
made a vow to himself that he would never let him so much as ten feet of
Sheridan.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Luis called. The door
opened and Jullian Crane came inside. Luis looked at him and said, "What the
hell are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay away from here." "I
came here to talk to Sheridan." "You stay away from her," Luis said as he
tightened his grip on Sheridan. "I don't understand how you could love
Sheridan. She's a Crane for one thing, and a disgrace." Jullian said.
Luis glared at him, "You know, if you weren't Sheridan's brother and if I
weren't taking care of her right now, I would kill you for saying that about
her. She is the most wonderful woman I have ever met. You are the one who is
an idiot for not loving someone like her." Jullian didn't say anything. Luis
said, "Now you get out, before I throw you out." Jullian reluctantly walked
to the door.
Just as he was about to walk out, he turned to him and said, "I warned
you about the consequences of staying with Sheridan. Very soon, you both will
pay for what you've done." With that, Jullian slamed the door loudly.
Sheridan groaned in her sleep, but she didn't wake up. Luis hugged her close.
He did remember the deal he had made with Jullian a long time a go. Jullian
had said that Sheridan would get hurt or killed if he continued to see her.
He began to get afraid again about loosing her. Luis shook those negative
thoughts out of his head. The last time he thought twice about that, he had
broken up with Sheridan and things had gotten very bad. He thought, 'I will
never let anything happen to Sheridan again. I will protect her with my life.
Jullian can make all the threats he wants, but nothing was going to keep them
apart.
Sheridan stirred in his arms and she fluttered her eyes open. "Mmmm...
hello Luis." "Hello angel." "You know... if you're going to call me that,
than what am I going to call you?" Sheridan smiled. Luis said, "Anything you
want, but I am only gonna call you angel, cause you are the most beautiful
angel in the world." Sheridan felt her heart melt, "Oh Luis. You are so
sweet." She pulled him into a soft kiss.
She pulled back a few seconds later and said, "I'm hungry. I'll go make
us something to eat." She started to get up, but Luis pulled her back down.
"No way. You're staying right here. I'll make us something to eat." "Luis...
I can do this." Sheridan said. "You are going to relax all week and that's
final." Luis said. "You do you have to be so controlling and stubborn,"
Sheridan asked. "Because I love you, and I don't want anything to happen to
you." The moment Sheridan saw that loving look in his eyes, the argument was
lost. Luis got up from the couch and went to the kitchen.
Sheridan sat on the couch, bored as ever. She didn't care what Luis said,
"She needed to do something... anything." She looked out the window and
thought, 'Maybe I'll go plant some flowers in the garden.' She looked at the
kitchen door to make sure that Luis wasn't coming and she got up and walked
out to the back.
A while later, Sheridan was planting some beautiful flowers in the
garden. She was finding this a lot of fun. And she wanted to have something
to do before Luis realized that she was outside. She stood up, dusting the
dirt off her hands, and suddenly, two arms wrapped around her. She jumped at
first, but she settled into the arms when she realized who it was.
"And what do you think you're doing?" Luis said, blowing his hot breathe
on her neck. "I'm planting some flowers," Sheridan answered. "Oh no you're
not," Luis said as he scooped her up into his arms. Sheridan laughed and
smiled as he did this. As Luis carried her back inside, he said, "You
disobeyed me. You were supposed to relax on the couch." "Luis. I've been
relaxing all day. I'm bored. I needed to do something." Sheridan whinned.
"Well... I can help pass the time," Luis said as he lowered her onto the
couch. He came down on top of her and kissed her passionately. Sheridan fell
into the kiss immediately. Luis broke the kiss and started to trail a kiss
down her neck. Sheridan moaned out his name and suddenly, they heard the
timer beep from inside the kitchen. "Luis... the food is ready." "Come to
think of it, I'm not hungry. I'd rather do this," He said before continuing
to kiss her neck. "Oh no... I'm hungry. If you won't get it, I will."
Sheridan said.
She started to get up, and Luis held her down. "No no no no. I'm sorry.
I'll get the food." Sheridan smiled as Luis went to get the food. He came
back with the food and said, "Now, finish it quickly, so we can get back to
wha we were doing." Sheridan smiled and ate the food quickly. After she was
done, Luis lunged himself at her and they engaged in a passionate, intense
kiss...
