Lexi
At Whilshire Memorial
Lexi was still in the hospital and it had been a week since Michael
and her kissed. She couldn't get it off her mind. She also was trying to decide whether to
press charges...she didn't want something else to happen to her or anyone else. The police
told her they needed an answer when she leaves the hospital.
Just then Michael walked in. "Good morning." He had a breakfast
tray in his hands and placed it on her lap.
She wrinkled her nose. "Well, I'll never miss this."
He smiled. "Thanks, you know the hospital chefs work hard here."
"Could've fooled me."
"Same with everyone else around here. So how are you feeling?"
"Better actually. Doctor Bell said I should be out of here soon."
"That's great. I'll have to take you out to dinner."
"I'd like that. But first I have to decide if I'm going to press
charges."
"Of course, you have to, Lexi! Do you want that guy raping someone
else or, worse, you, and being successful this time?"
She loved how he protected her all the time, and she missed it. She
was silent.
"I'm sorry to jump out like that. It's just my opinion."
"Well, I'll be sure to remember it."
"Okay." He looked down. "So I was wondering...is everything okay
between us?"
"Yeah I guess so....Things have just been a little awkward lately."
"You mean since I kissed you?" he said catching on.
"Yeah."
"Well if you want me to back off, then just say the word."
She smiled seductively. "No...I kinda like it this way. Maybe we
can start something that we'll finish."
"Maybe..."
Carly At Melrose Place Zach woke up, glad that school was over. It was the average Saturday
morning, and Zach was about to call Mark. He picked up the phone and dialed his cell phone
number.
"Hello?"
"Hey, it's Zach."
"Good morning. How are you?"
"Good. My mom told me to call you this morning because she wanted
all of us to go out to dinner," Zach lied. "So we need you to pick her up from school, CU,
around 8."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive," Zach lied again. He had to. He really wanted to get
his mom and Mark back together.
Mark smiled. Maybe she would forgive him. "Ok, I'll be there at 8."
"Okay, bye."
"And Zach?"
"Yeah?"
"See you then."
"Ok bye."
They hung up together and Zach began to get dressed; he had a big
day ahead of him.
David David tried to read the paper but it was hard with all the giggling
coming from Brandon and Kelly's room. He was glad they were happy and all but he really didn't
care to listen to it.
He gathered his things and headed to The Beat early. Maybe he could
get some work done before anyone else arrived. He loved working with his friends but they were
certainly distracting at times.
Like just the other week when he had been trying to finish an
article. Janet had been sitting at her desk putting the finishing touches on an article she
had wrote while Steve stood behind her rubbing her shoulders.
They acted as if he hadn't even been in the room.
"Janet, have I told you today that I love you?" Steve had exclaimed
when he finished reading the article. "That article is terrific!"
Janet smiled at her husband, "Thanks honey. I love you too."
How could anyone be expected to work with
that going on around him? He hoped he had never acted like that with Donna
but he feared that he probably had. He wasn't quite ready to admit it to himself just
how much he missed it.
Brenda At Melrose Place Brenda swam back and forth through the water, doing laps, exercising
and working off some stress. She didn't know why more people didn't use the pool at Melrose, it
had to be the apartment complex's best feature. She had missed sunny California, swimming
pools, warm weather, while she was in London.
Brenda pullled herself out of the water and dripped over the the
lounge chair next to pool. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself. She crossed the
courtyard making her way to Noah's apartment. She let herself in and found that he was still
in bed.
Brenda dropped her towel and crawled into bed with him. Her cold,
wet body instantly woke him up.
"Brenda! What are you doing?" he asked, trying to pull away from the
coldness.
She quickly reached out, grabbed his arm and pulled him toward her.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I was trying to sleep," Noah replied grumpily.
Brenda pulled him in for a long kiss. "It's morning."
Noah kissed her back, "Looks like it may be a good morning, too!"
Brenda giggled and gave him a big hug. "Noah Hunter, I am crazy
about you."
Noah rolled on top of her and looked down at her face, "Yea, well,
I'm pretty crazy about you too."
Clare At the Beverly Royale Hotel Clare woke up still thinking about Jake. She kept wondering why he
hadn't told her about Colleen in the first place. She would have understood. She looked over
to her side and saw that it was 8:30 am. Her eyes shifted right above the clock to see Jake's
picture in a picture frame.
She noticed that as soon as she started thinking about him, she got
depressed so she stretched over and flipped the picture frame downwards. She got out of bed and
decided that she couldn't stay in the hotel room with all of her memories of Jake so she
thought it would be best to go out and maybe do some shopping.
Kelly At Melrose Place "Hi Mr. Lemme. It's me, Kelly Talor, again," Kelly said into the
phone, "I just wanted to make sure you got my previous mesages. Give me a call."
Brandon awoke groggily as Kelly hung up the phone, "Who was that?"
he asked.
"Mr. Lemme."
Brandon sighed, "What is that, the 100th message you've left him a
message in the last week? Give those pretty fingers a rest already," he said pulling Kelly
closer to him.
"I know, just I really need this job. I can't afford to close my
office."
"You won't have to!" Brandon said, trying to give her confidence.
"I wish I could believe you without thinking like I've already
failed."
Brandon pulled Kelly into a hug, and Kelly's feelings just came
pouring out, along with some tears, "I don't know what went wrong. I was so successful at
first. I don't even know if I can afford to keep paying Megan."
"Don't worry, we'll figure something out, I promise," he said
kissing her forehead, "I promise."
Valerie At the Beach Apartment Val could hear ringing in her ears as she slowly opened her eyes
late that morning. It took her a minute to realize that the ringing she was hearing was actually
her telephone.
"Hello..." she groggily said.
"Good morning Ms. Malone. This is Detective Sims, from the police
station."
"Oh, not you again. What is it this time?"
"I'd like you to stop by later today if that's possible. I need a
few more words with you."
"I bet. But no. I'm busy."
"Listen, we can do this my way or the hard way. Take your pick,"
he said, getting annoyed with the games Val was trying to pull.
"Alright. I'll stop by your office sometime this afternoon."
"I'll see you then. Have a good day," he replied as they hung up.
Since she was up so early, she decided she might as well take
advantage of the extra hours she had. She walked into the living room and was greeted by
numerous beer cans all over the place. She had no idea what went on here last night, but she
knew they were not alone.
Her theory proved to be right when Ginger walked out of her room
escorted by two men.
"Call me," she called out to them as they exited the apartment.
"I don't want to know," Valerie said as soon as Ginger opened her
mouth.
Steve At Casa Walsh "Alright, everything's set," Steve said to Janet, walking into Maddy's room.
"Great," Janet said while dressing Maddy. "They'll be here at 7,
right?"
Steve nodded, "Yep...so what are you going to serve?"
"Not sure. I have to go to the grocery store...any suggestions?"
"Steak..Rush likes it rare."
"Ooh, bad choice. My father's not big on steak."
"Alright, well whatever you pick up, I'm sure will be fine," he
said, leaning in and kissing her. "I was thinking...maybe it would be better if we invited
some friends to come to dinner too?"
"Friends?" Janet asked.
"You know, like Brandon, Kelly...just to play it safe. I don't know
what their reaction's going to be once we tell them we're going to be foster parents. All I
need is another argument, and I can guarantee it that my mom's lesbianism will come up, I just
know it--"
"Steve, calm down! Everything will be fine. What's with you and
all these nervous feelings lately?"
"I don't know..." he said, sitting down in the rocking chair, "I just
want us...you to be happy."
"Steve, I am. We are. I gotta get to the store though. I'll see you
in a few?" she asked, heading out of the room with Maddy in her arms.
"Yeah..."
"Oh, and can you pick up so red wine at the liquor store?"
"Sure," Steve said with a smile as Janet and Maddy left the room.
Once they were gone, "Rush hates red wine," he mumbled grumpily.
Donna At Whilshire Memorial Donna walked uncertainly through the hospital carrying a bouquet of
flowers. She stopped outside the door and took a deep breath before entering. Lexi looked up
from the TV as she entered.
"Donna? Come on in." Lexi snapped the TV off with the remote and
set it down beside her.
Donna set the flowers down by some others. "Hi Lexi. I wanted to
come by and tell you that I am glad that you are feelling better. Michael told me that you'll
be gong home soon."
Lexi made a face, "Oh, he did, did he? And what else did Michael
tell you?"
Donna smiled, "Michael told me how worried he's been about you, how
relieved he is that you are okay, and how much he cares for you."
Lexi broke out into a big smile, "Oh, he did, did he?!?"
"Yea, that's pretty much what he said. I know we don't know each
other very well but I'm really glad that you're okay," Donna explained sincerely.
Lexi nodded, "Thanks Donna, that's really nice of you to think of me."
"Well, you are one of my best customers!" Donna said, teasing.
Lexi had to laugh at that one. It felt good to laugh again.
Both Lexi and Donna were still laughing together when Michael walked
in. He wasn't entirely surprised to see Donna there. He had come to know what a caring person
she was. She had really listened when he had spilled out about his feelings about Lexi and in
turn he had listened to her talk about David. They both realized that there was no future for
the two of them besides one of friendship.
Clare At 7250 Clare parked her car in the 7250 parking lot and got out. She walked
over to the coffee shop and bought herself a newspaper and some coffee and sat down on one of
the tables. She noticed that the woman in the table next to her kept looking at her but she
thought nothing of it and let it go. Then the woman got up and walked over to her.
"Are you Clare Arnold?" she said in a rude tone.
"Yeah...who are you?" Clare said getting up. She wasn't about to let
this women be rude to her.
"Well....I FINALLY get to meet the famous Clare Arnold," she said
looking her up and down.
"Excuse me?"
"You have no idea who I am do you?"
"No."
"Well then maybe I should tell you."
"Maybe you should," Clare said getting mad. Here stood a person, who
she didn't even know, being rude to her, she wasn't going to let her have her way.
"My name is Colleen, I think you've heard a little about me."
"What do you want?!"
"Don't get yourself all worked up...I am only here to tell you
something I'm sure you already know."
Clare just stood there in silence waiting for her to conitnue.
"Jake and I are meant to be together. Whether you want to believe it or not, it's the truth.
You're just a distraction... HIS distraction."
"Oh really? And why would he need a distraction?"
"He knows that him and I are meant to be together...so to stop
himself from thinking about ME and OUR love, he needs you."
David At the After Dark David walked into the After Dark. He loved it in there this time of
day. Not yet open for business, no one around except Noah stocking the coolers. David thought
maybe he and Noah could get in a game of pool. He walked over to the bar and saw Brenda
sitting there talking to Noah while he worked.
"Hey David," Brenda said when she saw him.
"Hi," David replied gloomily.
Noah looked over from the back bar. "Whats up, man?"
David shook his head, "Nothing. I just needed to get something from
the booth."
Brenda and Noah nodded and watched him walk away. When he was out
of earshot, Brenda asked, "What's his problem?"
Noah shrugged, "Hard telling. He's always moody like that lately."
Brenda had to agree.
Lexi At Whilshie Memorial Megan came to visit Lexi not too long after both Michael and Donna
left. "Hey there. Feeling better?"
"Yeah. So did you take care of the rent for me like I asked?"
Megan laughed. "Lexi, honey, relax, of course I did."
"Okay, who's overdue?"
"No one."
