Cherish You
By: Melissa
I cant believe I'm finally getting married Eve thought to herself as she walked down the aisle.
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause
Eve continued making her way down the aisle to the man she loved with all her heart the man who was by her side through
everything.
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
When Eve finally made it to the alter he was waiting for her. She stood in front of him staring into his dark brown sensual eyes.
In my world before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Til my dying day
The priest continued with the ceromony but it didnt matter to her all that mattered that she would be joined with him forever.
I do cherish you
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
''I now pronounce you man and wife'' The priest said as the bride and groom kissed deeply.
''I cant believe she actually did this'' Kevin said shaking his head.
''Wow i knew she could go low but who would have guessed she would go this low'' Lucy agreed.
''Yuck all i can say is YUCK!'' Scott said repeating the same thing he was saying since he learned of the engagement.
''Why dd we even agree to come?'' Chris asked making a disgusting face.
''I know present to you Mr. and Mrs. Chamberlyn'' the priest said as Eve and her new husband, Ryan Chamberlin shared
another long kiss.
He couldnt believe it. He just stood there and stared at the silent flowing water of the fountain. Everybody was inside having a good time except for Kevin. He thought back to the events leading up to the wedding.
Flashback.......
Kevin had just returned back to Port Charles after almost one year of being held prisioner in Canada by Ryan. Nothing was
the same. He knew that Ryan had probably taken over his identity but after returning to the simple town his life was torn apart.
First, He knew he had to find Lucy God knows what kind of things Ryan had to be doing to her. But when he came back to
the lighthouse there was not a person in sight. ''Lucy!?!? Victor!?!?'' Kevin called out running throughout the entire house. He ran to the duckpond but Sigmund wasnt there either. What had Ryan done with them? He drove all the way to the firehouse hoping Scott could possibly explain what had happened to Lucy and Victor.
''Lucy! oh My G-d Lucy your alright I was so worried about you!'' Kevin said picking up Lucy and spinning her around.
''Kevin!! Kevin!! What are you doing here your supposed to Rome with Evie'' lucy said after Kevin placed her back down.
''Huh?!? Why would i be in Rome with Eve?'' Kevin asked confused.
''Well because shes your girlfriend Kevin are you feeling okay?'' Lucy asked placing her hand on his forhead.
''I feel fine.... Lucy, Im not dating eve where did you get an idea like that?'' Kevin paused before shouting out ''RYAN!!''
''Kevin, What in the world are you talking about?'' Lucy couldnt make sence of all this. Wasnt it just a few weeks ago he was
telling her what a horrible person she was and now he's confiding in her?
''Lucy, Lucy Oh you probably dont understand i need to explain this to you but you have to keep an openmind.......''
Kevin could remember it like it was yesterday he explained to Lucy what happened. Of course, she wouldnt believe him until
Ryan returned and then the jig was up. He was to be sent back to the Mental Hospital. But, one of Kevin's closest friends, Eve
Lambert vouched for him. She said he had saved her life numerous times and stood by her. So, somehow Ryan got out of life
in a mental instution for a therapy session once a week. Kevin still could not believe it. His life was completly turned around
because of Ryan and he gets out of it. Kevin tok another sip of the scotch - his third glass. Just drink it away. The thing that got to him the most that Lucy, his one true love was noe dating Scott Baldwin. Even the name made him sick to his stomach.
''Doc?? Are you okay?'' Lucy asked braking Kevin's train of thought.
''Yea I'll be fine just one of my best-friends got married to my nutcase twin brother and my ex-girlfriend is engaged to one of
my worst enimies but hey ill be fine'' Kevin said still not taking his eyes off the fountain.
''Doc, im so sorry but Im with Scott now. and ...and you need to understand that. and that i love you and Will always Love
you'' Lucy said being broken off by Kevin.
''Lucy please dont. You dont have to prove anything to me'' Kevin answered the anger raging inside him.
''Im not trying to prove anything to you Kevin I just think you should realize that i never ment to hurt you.'' Lucy explained as
Scott walked up to her. Kevin let out a sigh and did everything he could to keep from knocking out Scott and carrying Lucy
back to the lighthouse with him.
''Lucy, I'm going to go home now'' Scott said really trying to break apart Kevin and Lucy. Somehow scott had this feeling that
he and Lucy were over he could see it in both of her eyes just part of him didnt want to admit it yet.
''Tell you what Im going to stay here a while longer you go i'll call a taxi okay ,pal?'' Lucy asked really not wanting to leave
Kevin alone. Scott nodded and walked away. All Kevin and Lucy could hear in the distance was ''Yuck all im saying is Yuck''
''So he's Still saying that i see'' Kevin laughed.
''Yea'' Lucy let out a nervous laugh.
''Thank you Lucy''
''For what, Doc?''
''For staying here I know its so i wont be alone but you can leave if you really want'' Kevin said.
''No I dont want to.'' Lucy replied.
''You know what this place is really depressing. I think I'll go back to the lighthouse for a few drinks your welcome to come if
you want'' Kevin said standing straight up.
''Doc, I dont know if i should I mean Scott probably wouldnt like it that much'' Lucy explained.
''Oh i forgot you need his permission'' Kevin answered knowing he sounding a little more mocking then he wanted to.
''I do not! Fine Lets go'' Lucy said confident.
Eve leaned up against his chest. They were the only ones on the dance floor but she couldnt notice. ''This is the happiest day of
my life'' She wispered in Ryans erar as they continued to dance - bounded forever has man and wife.
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
Kevin softly laid Lucy down onto the bed. they were both breathing heavily. She could feel the heat of his body as he pressed up against her and his soft lips brushed against hers. They both knew they shouldnt be doing it but all logic seemed to fade away after looking deep into each other's eyes and feeling all thier problems melt away. The only thing in the universe at that moment was them Caressing each other as they slowly made love.
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way
It ought to be
Chris sipped the martini he made looking at the picutres of him and Eve. They had been an odd sort of team. He never got a
chance to confess his love to her and now it all seemed to late.
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got (yeah)
Trying to hold on
To your precious love
Baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
Scott stared out of the window of the firehouse. Serena was in bed and Lucy still wasnt home. He had an idea why. He knew
he couldnt hold on to her forever. They just werent ment to be he told himself staring at the large star spread a soft light
through the room.
Yes when a man loves a woman
I now exactly how he feels
'Cause baby, baby, baby
I am a man
When a man loves a woman
Chapter 2
"Good morning, love" Kevin cooed leaning over the bed for a deep kiss.
"Mmmmm........Doc do you have any idea how much I missed that?" Lucy whispered returning the kiss.
"I have a clue" Kevin responded has Lucy began getting dressed.
"What in the world am I supposed to tell Scott? We shouldn't have done this you know?" Lucy asked turning around so that
Kevin could zip up her dress.
"Lucy, do you regret last night?" Kevin asked noticing the distance in her eyes.
"Doc, no of course not, I dreamt about last night for the longest time. But, Don't you think we should have done this different?
I mean we just hop in bed Scott trusted me you know the poor guy has been through so much. I should have eased him into it.
Not show up the next morning in the same clothes from last night and say ‘Honey I'm sorry but I was just sleeping with my
ex-boyfriend who's twin brother left me at the alter oh yea and here's your ring back I decided I rather go with Kevin, But
don't worry we'll still be friends' What am I going to do?" Lucy continued talking interrupted by Kevin's long sigh.
"Lucy, if it was up to me I would carry you off to some desert island somewhere where we wouldn't have to hear from Scott
or Ryan or anyone else ever again. Just me, you, and the waves flowing over our naked bodies as we slowly make love on the
beach" Kevin envisioned massaging Lucy shoulders.
"Oh, your bad Doctor Collins!" Lucy answered not being able to hide her growing smile.
"I had a marvelous teacher" Kevin said beginning to undress Lucy again when he heard a loud pounding on the door. "Ignore
them" Kevin whispered kissing Lucy's neck.
"Doc, It might be someone important. They aren't going away" Lucy replied disappointed when the pounding on the door just got louder.
"Fine I'll get rid of them" Kevin said running down the twisting light house stairs.
"Okay Collins where is she?!?!" Scott asked barging in the door has soon as Kevin opened it.
Eve laid sprawled out on the bed in a white silk nightgown that she had purchased for the honeymoon. She got up and walked
to the patio gazing over the tropic paradise. It was her choice to honeymoon in the Bahamas she always thought it would be
the perfect place for her and Kevin.....er......Ryan. She still hadn't gotten over that the man she had been dating all this time
was Ryan Chamberlin. She said the name over in her mind. Evelyn Lambert Chamberlin. A faint smile crossed her lips thinking
of this man who she absolutely adored
In the other room Ryan took his time getting ready. "Oh this is going to be a long night" Ryan said aloud thinking of a way to
back out of the impending night with his wife. Why did you do it you fool? You could've wooed anybody else but Eve
Lambert. Ryan shook his head trying to make the thoughts go away No you had to do it. You couldn't have stayed with Lucy
She would've suspected something. She always did have this nack for telling me and Kevin apart. The plan won't work without
little Evie's help even if she doesn't know it yet. Ryan smiled thinking of the plan. It was all going beautifully.
"Ryan, dear are you coming out of there" Ryan heard Eve call out from the patio.
"Be right there" Ryan lightly choaked out the last word "dear" he finished getting a disgusting look on his face. She had been
calling him dear since they got on the plane. you should've killed her then not a jury in the world would convict you He shook
his head again and wondered if getting revenge on his brother was really worth all of this trouble. He came to his decision Of
course it was. Kevin had to pay. Ryan took a deep breath and walked out to his wife.
"Scott, What in the world is your problem?!?" Kevin asked as Scott looked around the Lighthouse.
"Where is she Collins? I want to know where she is now!" Scott's voice rang through the entire house. Lucy quickly hid in the
bathroom as soon as she heard Scott pounding up the steps. Scott entered Kevin's bedroom and continued to search
"Lucy!! Lucy!! I Know your here!" Scott called out looking under the bed. Kevin looked to the bathroom door the see Lucy
popping her head out. She began to mouth something to Kevin but he couldn't fully understand what she was trying to say.
Lucy frantically pointed to the floor. Kevin shook his head and Lucy motioned for him to come towards her. When he was
finally standing next to her she whispered. "Doc, My bra next to the bed" Kevin got a confused look on his face till he looked
to the bottom of the bed. There was a silky red bra. Kevin quick ran to grab it before Scott noticed but it was too late.
"COLLINS WHAT THE H3LL IS THIS?!?!?!" Scott yelled waving Lucy's bra in front of Kevin. Kevin without thinking said
"It's uh...MINE!" he couldn't believe he said it. Oh boy was Lucy going to owe him! Lucy who was still behind the bathroom
door held back a laugh.
"YOURS!?!? WHY DO YOU HAVE A BRA!?!?" Scott continued to yell getting ready to deck Kevin.
"You know Scott Special occasions, birthday parties and such" Kevin answered yanking the bra from Scott's hand and barely
dodging a punch. Oh yea Lucy definitely owes me big! Kevin thought. Lucy, who was still watching all this, decided she
couldn't stand it anymore. She had to come clean with Scott. Then, she slowly walked out of hiding.
"Scott, Stop it! The bra it's mine I spent the night with Kevin and I think we need to talk" Lucy explained as Scott looked up at
her with a rage she never knew he possessed.
Ryan looked down at Eve asleep on his bare chest. Well he did it. The worst was over. Now to the easy part making sure that
Kevin would pay for what he had done. It was Kevin's fault that his father had left him with his mother and the years of torture
he sustained with her. Kevin had the easy path out Well not this time brother this time I will make sure you pay. Ryan
continued having the same thoughts has he gently lifted Eve up and placing her back down on the pillow has he began to sit up.
He realized what a heavy sleeper she was. Gee, I hope that strong sedative didn't have anything to do with it Ryan let out
a cruel laugh then reached for his cell phone.
"Bruce? It's Ryan the plan is coming along perfectly........."
