Chapter Eight
Ryan leaned back to focus on Gillian's face and brushed away a strand of hair. He smiled as he gently wipped a tear from her face.
Gillian smiled too "I can't believe this is happening"
"Believe what?" Ryan asked eying her
"Believe that we are here, again. Saying I love you to each other. It doesn't seem real."
Ryan wrapped his arms tightly around Gillian and wispered in her ear "Believe it Princess because it's as real as you and me."
Gillian smiled and tears formed in her eyes again "Oh Ryan I love you. I never want to make you disappointed again. I promise I won't hurt you ever again."
Ryan laughed as he dropped his arms from Gillian's waist "Princess, it's too unreal to expect us to be perfect. We'll probably say things or do stuff that will hurt or dissapoint one another. It's part of love."
Gillian smiled "As long as we have each other, we can do anything though right?"
Ryan smiled back and grabbed her hand "Anything" he repeated and gently kissed her forehead "It's gonna be me and you from here on, got that Princess? Just you and me against the world"

(A few weeks later)
Ryan was busily working late at his desk at WRCW when he heard a soft knock. He didn't look up but instead kept working on his paper "Yeah?" he called.
Gillian didn't say a word as she stood in the doorway of Ryan's office in a very sexy black dress. Her hair was pulled losely back in a french twist and a few strands of hair fell casually along her neckline. Ryan glanced up kind of irratated but when he saw Gillian standing in the doorway he couldn't help but smile. Her left leg was bent just slightly revealing much of her small thigh and her her right arm was postioned high above her head on the doorframe. Gillian's head was cocked slightly to one side and her lips formed a very provocitive smile. Ryan threw his pen on his desk and leaned back in his chair. "Working late?" she cooed.
Ryan eyed Gillian and without looking her in the eyes he responded "Well I was planning on it"
Gillian casually let her arm fall to her side and strolled over to Ryan's desk. She walked over to the side of Ryan's chair and leaned on his desk. She placed her legs in Ryan's lap "So is that why you decided to cancel our date?"
Ryan rubbed Gillian's leg and smiled "I wasn't going to, but I had so much to do. I just started working here again and I didn't want to get behind." Gillian nodded and pulled her legs from Ryan's lap.
"Well I better get going, I don't want to interrupt"
Ryan grabbed Gillian's waist before she could move and pulled her into his lap. "I was just going to take a break" he said nibbling on her ear
"What do you do on your breaks?" she asked innocently
Ryan started kissing Gillian's neck "Oh it's been really boring lately. I could use some new ideas"
Ryan sat Gillian on his desk and Ryan pushed all of his papers and pens from his desk on the floor. He gently laid Gillian back as he continued to kiss her and started to undress her. Gillian began unbuttoning Ryan's shirt and Ryan slipped the strap of Gillian's dress off her shoulder. They were so busy kissing each other they didn't hear Liza walk in.
Liza laughed and cleared her throat "Don't mind me, I'm just going to throw these papers on the floor here. I'm sure you'll find them later Ryan"
Gillian and Ryan looked up at Liza and smiled together both embarassed. Ryan quickly stood up and began buttoning his shirt. Gillian sat up and fixed her dress.
"Hi Liza" Ryan said trying to hide his embarassment.
"Next time try locking the door" Liza said laughing
"Right" Ryan said hanging his head
Gillian quickly walked toward the door "I'll talk to you later Ryan"
Ryan nodded and reached for Liza's packet of papers trying to change the subject "Thanks Liza"
"So you and Gillian are back together?" Liza said giving Ryan a nodge in the arm
Ryan began gathering the things from the floor "Yeah we sure are, and I must say it feels great"
Liza smiled "I bet it does. I'm so happy for you"
"I'm happy that your happy for me" Ryan said laughing as he picked up some pens and placed them on the desk "I guess I have you to thank for getting me involved with Gillian in the first place."
"AHHH I guess you are forever in debt to me Mr. Lavery"
Ryan smiled and nodded "I probably am, but if you'll exucse me I should finish this paperwork" Ryan walked over to his chair and sat down.
"I guess I should encourage THAT kind of work" Liza said stressing it "The other kinds, I will live to common sense"
Ryan threw a wad of paper at Liza as she quickly left the doorway. Ryan paused a moment and leaned back in his chair. He all of a sudden lost interest in work. A huge smile spread across his face. He left his desk and ran out of his office.
*************
(The next evening)
Ryan showed up at Wildwind wearing a tux and knocked loudly on the door. His hair was still damp from the shower and he tugged annoyingly at his bow tie. He was holding a dozen roses and went through a mental checklist to make sure this night went off without a hitch. He smiled once again as he thought of the suprise he had planned for Gillian. Suddenly Gillian opened the door and smiled. She look stunning in her floor length blue dress. Her hair was curled and had tiny barrets placed throughout her hair. Ryan handed the flowers to Gillian "You look absouetly beautiful"
Gillian smiled "And you look very handsome." she paused and smelled the flowers "These are also very beautiful" She quickly placed them in a vase and grabbed her handbag. Ryan bent his arm "Shall we?" he asked. Gillian nodded and slipped her arm through his.
"Be prepared for an evening you shall never forget" Ryan said looking at Gillian
Gillian raised her eyebrows "Well what are we waiting for then?"
