Chapter 4

PHILIP & MELANIE'S APARTMENT
It is now the next morning. Nicholas and his two daughters had gotten to the apartment late last night. Philip was dressed in a suit, drinking a cup of coffee, and reading the paper. Nicholas came down the stairs.
NICHOLAS: Morning.
Philip raised his coffee cup.
Nicholas sat down at the kitchen table across from Philip.
NICHOLAS: So, Philly, how's business? Titan still hanging by a thread?
PHILIP: First of all, don't call me Philly. Second, Titan is doing better than ever, which is more than I can say for Alamain Industries.
NICHOLAS: Hey! I have just made one of the best investments of a lifetime.
PHILIP: By hiring Madison James and giving her free reign of your company?
Philip put down his paper and chuckles.
PHILIP: You know, I probably shouldn't tell you this...actually no, I won't tell you.
NICHOLAS: Tell me what?
PHILIP: Nothing. It doesn't matter.
NICHOLAS: No, it does. Tell me.
PHILIP: Madison James almost destroyed Titan when my father put her in charge. The reason we almost went bankrupt is because Madison knows absolutely nothing about running a company. She nearly ran us into the ground. And, I have no doubt that that devil in horribly bad designer clothes will do the same to your company. Why you even hired her to work at Alamain Industries is beyond me. I thought you were smarter than that.
NICHOLAS: Oh, I see what this is. You're jealous.
PHILIP: Jealous? Of you?
NICHOLAS: Yes, you're jealous that I stole Madison from you. You just can't stand that I took a true gem from your company.
PHILIP: If that's what you define as a gem, then you're welcome to her.
Philip looks at his watch.
PHILIP: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to work.
Philip stands up.
PHILIP: D@**! I almost forgot! Melanie took the car so she and the girls could go to Salem Place.
NICHOLAS: Well, I suppose you could use the car the company gave me upon arrival back in Salem. Just, try not to crash it into a swimming pool like you did with the last one I let you borrow.
PHILIP: Yeah. And you try not to sleep with anyone's mother while you're here.
Philip rolled his eyes, grabbed his briefcase off of the coffee table.
PHILIP: Thanks for the offer, but I'd rather take the bus.
Philip walked out. Nicholas chuckled.
NICHOLAS: Oh, this is going to be so much fun.

SALEM PLACE
J.J. was standing at the coffee shop waiting for his drink to be finished. After a moment or two, the drink was ready. J.J. paid for his drink and turned to leave. Just as he was about to go out the door, he literally bumped into a blonde girl who was walking in, successfully spilling his drink on the girl's shirt.

Love the interaction between Philip and Nicholas. Wonder if Kate knows he's returned to town. JJ it might be your lucky day.

[MrsM]

Lol at Madison nearly destroying Titan. Love it Andre!

[Kpatch]

Great dialogue Andre. LOL at the devil wears Prada reference. Perfect description of Madison. But I have a hard time picturing Philip riding a bus.

I wonder who JJ ran into.

[sportsgirl]

It looks like Philip & Nicholas may never get along. Let's just hope they don't kill each other.. ;D

Yep, it looks like JJ's lucky day!

Chapter 5

SALEM PLACE
J.J. ran to get some napkins and was helping the girl clean off her shirt.
J.J.: I am so sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going.
GIRL: It's fine. It's just a stain. I'm sure it'll come out in the wash.
The girl spoke with a light Welsh accent.
J.J.: Are you sure? Because, I will totally give you a $20 to pay you back for ruining that shirt. I know, it's probably not enough, but...
GIRL: Like I said, it's fine.
But, that didn't stop J.J. from buying her a drink. A few minutes later, they were walking around Salem Place.
J.J.: You're not from around here, are you?
GIRL: Did the accent give it away?
J.J.: Kinda.
GIRL: I'm from Wales. My dad, my sister, and I are out here visiting my Aunt Mel for a couple of weeks.
J.J.: Well, welcome to Salem.
J.J. and the girl shook hands.
J.J.: Oh, and I'm sorry. I must have left my manners at home today. I'm Jack Deveraux. Well, Jack Deveraux, Jr. Most people just call me J.J.
GIRL: I'm Ceridwen Alamain. My mates call me Ceri.
J.J.: Ceri. Pretty name. So, Ceri, what are you doing on Friday?
CERI: Not sure yet. Why?
J.J.: Well, I was wondering if you'd like to hang out? Get a bite to eat, maybe I could show you around Salem?
CERI: Are you asking me out?
J.J.: Possibly. Are you interested?
CERI: I'll think about it. But, I'm pretty sure I'm not your type.
J.J.: But, we just met. How can you say that you're not my type?
CERI: Just trust me, I'm not.
J.J.: Well, in that case I wasn't asking you out. I was simply asking if you would be interested in getting a bit of a tour around Salem, and if I could take you on said tour.
CERI: Oh, sorry. I thought you were hitting on me. Anyway, yeah, a tour around Salem would be kinda nice.
J.J.: Cool. Here's my number.
J.J. gets out a piece of paper and a pen. He writes on the paper and hands the paper to Ceri. She stuffs it in her pants pocket.
J.J.: Just call me whenever you're ready for the tour.
CERI: Right, thanks. Well, I should probably catch up to Aunt Mel and my sister. See ya later, Jack.
Ceri turned and walked away.
J.J.: You can call me J.J.!
J.J. got out his phone and dialed a number.
J.J.: Joseph, I've got some news.

[fluffysmom]

Fun chapter Andre. I enjoyed the first meeting between JJ and Ceri.

[MrsM]

Awww I see a crush developing.

[sportsgirl]

I wonder why Ceri thinks she wouldn't be his type. She doesn't even know JJ.

[Kpatch]

I was thinking the same thing SG. Welsh girl seems standoffish.

[MrsM]

Me thinks she has a secret or two.

[gapeach]

Like maybe she likes girls better???
