[b] Lily and Cane are happier than either has ever been before. Cane has to keep pulling himself back to work and not sitting holding Lily at home in his restless imagination. Lily is working with the passion her photographer hasn't seen in her in a long, long time. "Lily you are hot today, what ever it is keep it going and we will have the best shoot ever. Lily, "I can keep this up for a life time." she smiles.Lily breaks for a change of cloths and her cell phone rings "Hi, my love, how's your day going? I hope as well as mine. I haven't been this happy for as long as I can remember." Lily jabbers on. Cane, "Baby, I'll pick-up dinner and we can talk after work, remember I had an idea that will be perfect, OK? Lily, so much is going our way, I have more good news. I can't wait to see you tonight. I love you, see you later." "Ok baby see you at home I love you too." says LilyCane and Lily sit and have dinner out side. Lily can see Cane is bursting with something to tell her. "What is it you have been waiting to spring on me, Cane." "Well baby you are looking at the new CEO of Jabot. "what when did this happen?" "Mom told me today. I won't start just yet, and for now its a secret, but you are marrying Jabot's next CEO, and I'm marrying my dream girl, my princess." Lily sits astounded. "Wow, thats wonderful Cane I am so proud of you. You will be great at that job." Lily kisses Cane, "I'm happy someone else knows how wonderful you are." Cane, "Baby let's get married now, let's not wait, we have waited for every thing our entire relationship, it's time to do what we know we want to. Let's get married now tonight, we can fly out to Vegas and be married and back home in our own house tomorrow morning. Say yes, please, please." Lily smiles........To be continuedElleKSA

Thanks, Elle.Cane wants his lady so badly.

LEAP OF FATE Part 2 “So what kind of name is Cane?” asked Lily. “It’s Ethan actually but my friends call me Cane”, he replied. She’s beautiful, he thought. Stunningly beautiful. She was wearing a sexy red dress, swept up hair and little or no makeup. She had stolen his breath away when she had open her apartment door to him and only sheer willpower had prevented him from taking her in his arms. He wasn’t sure if he would be able to endure the night the way his senses were playing tricks on him but he knew he didn’t want to mess things up before they even started. “Oh! I sense a story”, she said looking at him with a leveled gaze. But his only reply was “I’ll tell you someday” and left it at that. “Okay”, she said pensively and they continued eating their meal… “How did you manage to do all this?” she asked indicating the room and once again taking in the moment. By this she meant the private dining room he had secured for the evening that was filled with flowers as if made to look like a garden and lit with too many candles to count. The man sure knew how to impress, she thought. “I have my ways. But I can’t tell you”, he answered amusement in his eyes. “Is that so?” “A guy’s got to have some secrets”, he said but instantly regretted his words when he saw the fear and doubt that flicker across her face. Later he wasn’t so sure that that’s what he had seen because it disappeared as soon as it had appeared. Then changing the subject he asked, “So how is it that you ended up living here in Paris?” She thought about it for a few seconds then answered saying “The long and short of it is that I came here on vacation got offered a job and decided to stay”, but he detected sadness and grief behind her words. “Tell me about it”, he said. “No”, she replied instantly shutting down and he knew he wanted to kill whoever it was that had hurt her so badly. So he tried to make light of the situation and said “Better men have tried, uh?” Again she said a definitive “No” but gave no further explanation until she saw that he wasn’t just going to drop it. “You’re a stranger. I don’t know you well enough to tell you that particular story”. “I don’t feel like a stranger and after this afternoon I feel as though we’ve skipped a few steps in getting to know each other”, he said. Then he shocked her further by saying “If I’m being honest I have to tell you that I very much think that I am falling in love with you and it’ll take more willpower than I’ve got to make me leave”. Carefully putting down the fork in her hand she said “That’s not possible. You can’t fall in love with a stranger”. “Don’t tell me I can’t feel what I am feeling”, he said quietly. With an overwhelming need to cry she said “But you can’t. You don’t know…you don’t know anything about me. You…” “I know that you are smart, intelligent, beautiful, sexy…that you…” but she burst into tears before he could finish. He rose and came around to her chair and pulled her to her feet. She fought against him to let her go but he ignored her efforts and pulled her firmly against him, his arms holding her tightly.What seemed like hours later she said “Can you please take me home now?” “Are you sure that’s what you want?” he asked. When she only nodded he called for his driver and took her home. She was quiet on the drive and he didn’t want to further upset her so he remained that way as well. However, being a true gentleman he walked her to her door, kissed her on the forehead and asked “Will you be alright alone?” “I’m used to being alone”, she replied dryly. “You’ll have to get use to not being alone”, he told her then said “I’ll see you in the morning”. Not having the strength to argue she nodded her head and went inside. Great. Just great! You sure know how to ruin a perfectly good evening. Why couldn’t you just let it go? All you had to do was let it go. But oh no! You had to go tell her you’re falling in love with her. What were you thinking? That definitely did not go the way I’d planned it. Instead of her falling for me she’ll probably be running for the hills. How am I going to change the stakes in my favor? Well, at least she didn’t say no to breakfast. I guess that’s a start. Meanwhile…Smooth. Real smooth! A guy tells you he’s falling for you and you act like a crazy woman. But he can’t. He just can’t. Can he? No. He can’t. Daniel was right! I’ll just have breakfast with him so that he can see that I’m fine and send him on his way. To be continued...

LEAP OF FATE Part 3 Next morning they were both up earlier than usually for a Saturday morning each deep in thought. Her thoughts focused on how best to get rid of him and his were on how to make up for the previous night. Too bad they didn’t remember the age old saying about the best laid plans of mice and men. If they had, they would have known to be prepared for the unexpected.At precisely 8:00am he was knocking on her door. “Hi”, she said opening in the door and thought this is not going to be easy. He has no right to be looking this good so early in the morning. “Hi”, he replied thinking she looks amazing. Then simultaneously both of them said “I’m sorry” and burst out laughing. “Ready to go?” he asked. “Actually, I thought we could have breakfast here. That is if you don’t mind”, she said. “Not at all”, he said thinking things were looking up. “Come in”, she said glad that he was on her turf where she was in control. She led him to the kitchen where he could see that she had been busy. “Have a seat”, she said pointing to the table but he reciprocated by saying “after you”. They ate their breakfast in almost complete silence except for him commenting on what a terrific cook she was. Once they had cleared the dishes they headed to the living room where they could talk. “Look, I’m really sorry about last night. I’m sure it’s not everyday you take a woman out to dinner and have her crying all over you. But as you can see I’m perfectly alright so you don’t have to feel bad about it, okay”, she said trying to remain calm. Being that close to him was starting to do funny things to her senses. “Trying to get rid of me…I see. Sorry, sweetheart it not going to be that easy”, he said smiling. “Don’t call me that. You’re a stranger and …” “So you keep saying”, he interrupted “but we could rectify that easily”. “No”, she said getting up and walking to stand by the window. He took a moment to consider his next move then walked up to her and turned her to face him. “Lily…” “Don’t…” “Lily, I can’t walk away. Not after yesterday”, he said quietly. “Yesterday didn’t mean anything. Okay, so we’re attracted to each other. But that’s it. End of story”, she said looking for an escape and finding none. “No! I don’t believe that. Yesterday I met this incredibly fascinating lady who I started to fall in love with and I’m not about to walk away from that”, he said searching her face. “You don’t love me, Cane”, she said desperate for him to agree and pushing him away. “You don’t know me. Maybe you think you’re in love bur you’re not. You can’t”. “Don’t tell me I can’t do what I am doing”, he said pulling her into his arms. Then cupping her face with both his hands he said “this is the second time I’ve held you and this time I don’t feel at all soothing”.She would have protested but she was lost the second his mouth found hers. It’s not as if she’d never been kissed before but she’d never felt anything like she was feeling in that moment. It was as if a millions stars had burst simultaneously throughout her entire body. She felt his hands in her hair then one moving to the small of her back pulling her closer. His warms lips moved hungrily against hers demanding not to be denied. His tongue taking possession, igniting a blaze. When he broke the kiss she forced her eyes open only to find her arms wrapped around his neck, her fingers locked in his hair. She tried to move away but her body refused to obey her head and she just stared at him as if his kiss had wounded her. “Lily, don’t do that. Don’t look at me like that. I won’t hurt you. All I’m asking for is for us to take this opportunity to find out if there is something between us”, he said pleading for her to believe him. “Okay. But you’re moving too fast”, she said yielding. She was so tired of being alone. “I’ll slow down”, he said earnestly. Looking at him she didn’t know if he was for real. Could she trust him? Had he really fallen in love with her? “Okay”, he said when he felt her relax against him finally letting out the breath he’d been holding. “Yesterday you said you had some time off, so how about you be my personal tour guide?” he asked flashing her that smile that literally took her breath away. “I thought you were here on business”, she said. “I was but that was concluded yesterday before we met and I’ve been given permission to take the next two weeks off”, he replied. “Okay”, she said tentatively. “Where do you want to start?” “How about we start with the most obvious and then go from there”, he said his mind already spinning, working on ways to win her over. “Okay. Deal. Ready to go?” “Yes, ma’am. Lead the way”, he answered following her out the door. To be continued...

Trish -- Loved his comment about how she will have to get use to not being alone....swoon.

Whoopy, I finally found the Romantics thread!!! I've been searching through this mad house that they call a message board trying to find it. I really wish they would change the format back to organizing everything by chracters. It was so much easier that way.Anywho, want some feedback. Should I post all of the Summer of Love or just the new installments? I do have at least one new update and will be working on a new one later today. So please let me know!Can't wait to make Romantics the biggest thread on the board again!

You have made it.Star, I will wait for whatever you decide.
