~*Prescription For Love*~
*~Chapter 4~*
 

The aroma of Victoria Secret's strawberries and champagne could be smelled throughout Sheridan's small cottage. Sheridan and Luis starred into each other's eyes lovingly without talking, and just smiled. Their bond was one that could withstand talking all the time; plus Luis was too busy massaging Sheridan's feet to say anything. Sheridan giggled in not only excitement, but because Luis had found her most ticklish spot on her body - the sole of her foot.

"Luis stop it…that tickles…" Sheridan laughed.

"What? Stop this?" Luis asked as he tickled the sole of her foot some more.

"Yes that…it tickles too much…"

"But it's so fun…" Luis responded as he stopped and began kissing her foot and proceeded to kiss upwards towards her face.

"Now, your talking Luis…That's what I needed…"

"Of course it is, after all, I know what medicines suit you…."

But before Luis could finish his sentence that he was telling her, a loud crash came from outside and putting them in complete darkness.

"What was that?" Luis murmured aloud, and strained his eyes to adjust his eyes to the darkness.

"I don't know Luis, but I don't like it one bit…" Sheridan replied as she turned around and leaned herself on Luis's bare chest.

"You want me to check it out?"

"No, stay…please…?"

"Okay, I'll stay…" Luis told her as he kissed her shoulders and began rubbing them gently.

"Thank you Luis…"

"Not a problem…"

"Luis, I am glad we did all this. It feels like old times."

"Yeah, it does. How about we dry off, and then sit by the fire?"

"Sounds good to me," Sheridan responded and then added, "But we're in utter darkness, how will we see anything?"

"Don't worry Sheridan, our love will brighten things up." Luis replied reassuringly as he carefully helped Sheridan out of the tub and then got out of it himself.
 

~*~*~
"All warm?" Luis asked as Sheridan nestled down near the fireplace.

"Yeah, that bath was invigorating…"

"Good to hear, this fire will keep us warm all night." Luis smiled as he got up and added another piece of wood to the fire before sitting back down behind Sheridan to give her another shoulder massage. He nuzzled his stubble on her bare shoulders as he massaged her, and kissed her too.

"Mmmm…that feels so good Luis…"

"Of course it does, why wouldn't it?"

Luis pulled Sheridan into his lap and caressed her hair, as music softly began to fill the air. He looked into her eyes, and knew she'd be safe with him around. Nothing would ever change that - not today, not tomorrow, and not ever.
 

~*~*~
She squirmed at the sight that she was faced with. She hated how Sheridan and Luis were spending so much time with one another. Luis should be spending time with her and 'their' baby, Beth though to herself, not Sheridan.

Pulling the circuit breaker of Sheridan's cottage seemed like a good plan at the time that Beth did it, but now something wasn't sitting right. Beth couldn't see anything at all, and everything was dark.

She attempted to recall what she did that day up to the time she got 'blinded'.

~*Flashback*~

"Bethie…Luis will find out what you did to his Sheridan and their baby! And yes Behtie…you…yes you… will be gone up the river, floating like a life preserver with no chance of being saved…" Edna teased as she picked up Martin from his high chair to burp him.

"Mother, why can't you shut the hell up for once?" Beth yelled as she slammed Martin's baby bottle on the table.

"Well it's the truth isn't it Bethie?"

"No…Luis will never find out what I did…"

~*Later On That Day…*~

"…Here's what you need to do, to cut power from your house when doing renovations. First, you must make sure others in your home know that you are doing this because somebody may get electrocuted and you don't want that.", came a voice from Beth's television set.

"Well, I don't care if anybody is using power when I do it" Beth thought to herself as she took notes.

"Secondly, remember to wear goggles, gloves and other protective gear since this is highly dangerous." The voice continued.

"Who needs those? I'm Beth Wallace! And I can do anything I want…First and foremost is getting rid of Sheridan Crane."

"Finally, you unplug the red and blue wires as seen here, and presto…You have successfully removed the power from your home. To reconnect power, just reconnect these wires into your system."

"Thank you Bob Villa! You are a lifesaver" Beth smiled thankfully as she kissed her television screen with an appalled Precious and Edna looking on.

~*That Night…*~

"Damn it…where are my notes?" Beth thought to herself, as she searched her purse and jacket. "Precious must have taken them out for some reason. I know which wires to unplug because I'm Beth Wallace. It's the green and yellow one."

Beth searched for the power supply and located it near the back of the cottage. She didn't bring her gloves or anything as she unplugged the circuits that she "thought" were the right ones as it exploded on her putting the entire cottage into complete darkness, and sparks flying into her eyes - permanently blinding her.

~*End of Flashback*~

"So that's how it happened." Beth murmured to herself as she tried to blink again to see if she could see, and then added, "Hopefully, it's only temporary"

She walked absentmindedly towards a tree trunk, knocking herself unconscious with a watchful and concerned set of eyes looked on.
 

~*~*~
Rebecca awoke slowly to Alistair's voice talking to her, as she recollected what happened, and starred at Alistair sitting in Julian's chair for a few moments before getting up to walk around the study.

"Feeling better?", he asked her as he checked her out.

"Yes, much better." Rebecca replied, as she stretched a bit more, exposing her bare legs.

"I was telling you about your husband's affair before you fainted. And how you can get him back is by using another one of your famous games."

"So you're telling me that the only way of getting my pookie back is by putting on another show for him?" Rebecca questioned Alistair as she got comfortable in his lap and kissed him seductively on his cheek.

Alistair took her hands into his, and smiled, "Those shows make my heart race, my dear."

"You enjoy them? Julian never seems to enjoy them."

"Of course. I have already placed a call to T.C. Russell to go to the hospital. You will be meeting him there. Remember, you have to act clueless about being there."

"That's it?"

"Then, you'll proceed to give him the shock of his lifetime. Julian would get a smackdown that he deserves, and you'll get me in the end. How does that sound?"

"It sounds good, but can I show you a game I wanted to try on Julian…?"

"Try?" Alistair questioned in bewilderment raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's not harmful. I promise. It's just…well…different…"

Rebecca gleefully smiled at Alistair as she began to loosen Alistair's tie and then place it on her own neck.

"Is this part of the game?" Alistair asked as he began feeling uncomfortable.

"Yes, it is…"

Alistair gently put Rebecca's hair behind her ears as he began kissing her on her neck profusely, he pulled up for a second and added, "I shouldn't be doing this. You're my son's wife. But what the hell…I made love to you on his wedding night to Ivy…I can do it again…"

"Kiss me you damn fool!" Rebecca begged as she looked hungrily into Alistair's eyes.

A few moments later….

"That was well…very fun…" Rebecca commented as she scooted off Alistair's lap, and fixed her outfit, and hair.

"Yes, it was." Alistair replied smiling at his actions.

"You got a little lipstick on your lips and cheek Al dear…"

"I'll wipe it off, you should go meet that TC Russell."

"Yes, I should. We'll continue this tonight…"

Moments later, Rebecca arrives at the hospital, bumping into TC.

"TC, so good to see you here." Rebecca exclaimed as she saw him.

"Nice to see you too Rebecca, but you should pipe down a little. This is the hospital after all." TC replied as he greeted Rebecca.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot."

"It's okay. Have you seen Eve?"

"Eve? Ummmm…"

"Well…? It's our anniversary and all…"

Rebecca closed her eyes for a moment, and remembered what she saw earlier that evening. She thought for a moment, and then said, "TC, there is something you should know about your wife…"

"There is?"

"Yes, and I don't know how to break this to you but…"
 

~*~*~
Eve pulled away from Julian suddenly with fear in her eyes, and asked, "Did you hear that?"

"Hear what?", Julian responded bewildered as he got up beside her, and rubbed her tense shoulders.

"TC's and Rebecca's voices. I swore I heard them Julian!"

"I didn't. Now let's go back to what we were doing."

"I can't. I can't risk being caught with you Julian. You have to leave."

"But Eve…we love each other, we promised our hearts to one another."

"I know…"

"Then…"

"I don't know." Eve looked around the room as she collected her wet clothes and put them in the hamper near by and then grabbed a clean set of clothes from her office closet.

She dried her damp body with a towel that she kept handy and then quickly got dressed again as Julian looked on and then tossed it at Julian. She didn't seem to notice at first, but as she put on her dress, his cold hands came up from behind to zip up her dress. She turned around, and mouthed, "Thank you Julian."

He blushed, as he quickly got dressed himself and grabbed Eve's hand into his once he finished.

"There's still a mess here, but we can have it taken care of." Eve commented as she looked at the wet floor.

"Yeah, it can."

"Where's the back door?" Julian asked as he packed his stuff in a large briefcase that he brought with him.

"It's over there, but you'll be caught Julian…"

"Actually, it's taken care of already."

"You're coming with me."

"I'm what?"

"I can't live without you Eve. I need you."

"I know you can't Julian. But I have a job to do, plus it's my anniversary with Jul...I mean TC tonight…" Eve replied as she put on her earrings.

"See, you said it yourself. You want to be with me." Julian replied as his eyes brightened up.

"Damn it Julian…I can't…I'm sorry…"

Julian frowned and looked away, as he looked in his briefcase for one last thing.

~*Flashback*~

Earlier…before Eve and Julian's love fest…

Julian sneaked into the medical closet as he grabbed what he needed. If Eve wouldn't come with him as planned later on, he'd have to kidnap her. He grabbed some clothes and poured some chloroform on it, and placed it in a plastic ziplock bag.

Then he proceeded with the rest of the plan as he called his assistant to have the Crane helicopter ready at 21:00hrs for him on the hospital roof. He already had it disguised as medical helicopter so his plan was in motion. He would have another assistant call at 21:30hrs to say that Eve was called away on emergency. Everything was set.

~*End of Flashback…*~

Julian looked at the time, it was already 20:50hrs; he had to get a move on. He hated to do this, but he had no other choice. He carefully unsealed the bag with the cloth as Eve continued to get ready by putting her shoes on. He crept behind her as he kissed her shoulders to allude her that he was okay with her decision. He slowly put one hand in front of her eyes playfully.

"Julian stop it. I can't see what I'm doing." Eve said softly so nobody else would hear.

No response came from Julian, as he pulled his other hand out with the cloth, and placed it over Eve's mouth, knocking her out cold.

"Perfect," Julian thought as he got rid of any evidence of him being there, and kidnapping her as he took the wheelchair that she stored in the room. He gently placed her in it and his briefcase on top of her lap as he pushed her out the back door towards the staff elevator that went to the roof.

He pressed the "UP" button and waited for the elevator to arrive.
