Memory Lane (Read 9,270 times)

[Kpatch]

In case anyone wants to see the scene where Chloe called Philip "Soldier" for the first time, watch this video from the 8:00 mark to 9:02 (end).



As an aside, at about the 1:35 mark, Philip tells Chloe he's not interested in taking a trip down memory lane. He didn't know about this story, apparently. LOL.

Love that video and the lip lick at the end. Mmmm.....

PHILIP’S STUDY

Philip knew the next couple of notebook entries -- first place they made love, and where they were when they got Wesley’s paternity test results -- would clear up any doubts, one way or the other. He turned the page and read more.

First place we made love. Really Philip? You want to tell this story to our children? I can’t do that, so this is for your eyes only.

I have to tell you I’m a little torn on this one. The answer depends on your definition of making love. I’ll bet it’s different from my definition. The first place we made love was the Kiriakis stables. It was my first sexual experience and it was so intimate and romantic and sensual. I’ll never forget the way you kissed my hands and made me feel comfortable about being naked. Even at 16, you were so intuitive and gentle, and so loving and patient. If I close my eyes, I can still feel you holding me, kissing me, arousing feelings I didn’t know I had as we explored each other’s bodies, slowly, tenderly, and with so much love, it was overwhelming. So overwhelming that I had to stop, and even when I couldn’t go all the way, you were okay with it. You never pressured me. You just held me all night, kept me warm under that flannel blanket, cuddled in the security of your arms. To this day, I consider that night to be my first time.


Where were we when Wesley’s paternity results came in? Again, this is going to be for your eyes only, Philip. I don’t think I will share it with our children, because it’s really personal, and I’m not sure I want Wesley to know that we ever thought anyone but you could have been his daddy.

The day after we made love at the Marriott, we went to the Cleveland Clinic to get the results of the paternity test. We were waiting in a private office when the lab technician brought us the results.

***Flashback***
Philip: Okay, you were right. I’m secretly hoping that Parker is my son. And I’m going to be one disappointed godfather if he’s not really mine. So … you read it.
Chloe unfolded the piece of paper and looked at it. She let out little gasp and tears filled her eyes.
Chloe: I think you’ll be happy with the results, Philip. Your intuition was right.
Philip: Are you saying that he’s my ...
Chloe: Here. See for yourself.
Philip took the piece of paper from Chloe and read it. Then he took Parker out of Chloe’s arms and kissed him.
Philip: Hey big guy. Guess what? I’m your dad. Yeah, I really am. And I promise you that I’m going to do right by you. I’m going to give you everything, everything you could ever want. Especially … me. I loved you from the minute you were born, Parker, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to be a good father to you. You’ve got me, and I promise I won’t let you down. [He looks at Chloe.] I won’t let you down either, Chloe. You can count on me.
Philip held Parker tightly and tears began to run down his cheeks. Chloe put her arms around the both of them.
***End of Flashback***

Chloe’s Memory Book: And just in case you think I’m not sentimental, I saved the results.

Philip looked at the piece of paper clipped to the notebook. It was the original paternity test results. He felt a lump form in his throat.
Philip: Oh my god, Chloe. It’s you. It’s really you.

He set the notebook down on his desk and headed upstairs to the bedroom.


To be continued ...

This is great now Philip must prove to Chloe that he is Philip. Just love the way Chloe answered the questions with the in your face attitude the best part was attaching the test results to the book. Can't wait till tomorrow.

[gapeach]

Oh YEAH!! I knew you wouldn't let anything else happen to Phillip and Chloe!! I like the way they found out about Parker (Wesley) was really Phillip's son!!! Can't wait till tomorrow's chapter!

[MrsM]

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope Chloe believes that it really is Philip!!

[fluffysmom]

I loved her answers and I'm thrilled that Philip finally knows she's really his Chloe.

THE LAKE HOUSE

Philip looked at the piece of paper clipped to the notebook. It was the original paternity test results. He felt a lump form in his throat.
Philip: Oh my god, Chloe. It’s you. It’s really you.

He set the notebook down on his desk and headed upstairs to the bedroom.

Philip leaped up the stairs, two and three risers at a time. As he reached his bedroom, he opened the door and started to call Chloe’s name when he saw she was in bed asleep, laying on her side. He could hardly remember a time when he wanted her more than he did right now. His heart was pounding as he peeled off his shirt and climbed into bed beside her. He gently ran his hand up her thigh, then up her bare arm. She stirred and turned around to face him. The look on his face surprised her.

Chloe: Philip, what ...

More than anything, Philip wanted to kiss her, to consume her. But something made him hold up his hand, his palm facing her, fingers spread apart. She knit her brow, wondering what he was doing. She knew he had just read what she wrote in her memory book about their night in the stables. But ... could it be? Did he know their secret sign? She didn’t write anything about the sign the two of them came up with that night in the barn; it was a signal they hadn’t used in years, but one that silently told the other “I love you.” She started to think that maybe this man could really be Philip.

After a momentary hesitation, Chloe’s lips curled into a smile, then she pressed her hand against Philip’s, and threaded her fingers between his.

That’s all Philip needed her to do. Before she could say another word, Philip’s mouth zeroed in on her lips and engulfed them. Whatever she was going to say to him didn’t matter as she succumbed to the kiss. If she had any doubt this was Philip, it disappeared the instant his lips touched hers. No one else’s kiss made her feel like this. She reached for the back of his neck and pulled him closer and closer. He rolled on top of her while their tongues clashed and his hands searched the skin underneath her nightgown. Philip shimmied out of his pants and kicked them off while he adeptly pulled Chloe’s nightgown over her head. He showered kisses on her torso, his tongue lingering on each breast, then burying his face in her cleavage. Her arms folded around him and she rolled herself on top of him. He laughed as he felt her hair tickling his neck. He gently pushed her hair out of her face so he could look into the familiar blue eyes he loved so much. His emotions took over as he rolled Chloe on her back again and linked his body into hers, his pent-up passion exploding inside her like an impatient teenager.

Even though she knew he was finished, Chloe wouldn’t let him go. She held him tight and looked into his eyes.

Chloe: It’s really you.
Philip: What???
Chloe: I wasn’t sure it was really you until now.
Philip: You weren’t sure it was me? Wait .... I wasn’t sure you were you.

Chloe gently rolled Philip off of her and got out of bed naked. Philip watched her walk to the chest of drawers and saw the little baby bump. Finally, he could see evidence of her growing pregnancy. He got out of bed and nested himself behind her. He placed his arms around her, nuzzling her neck and rubbing her stomach as she rifled through a drawer.
Chloe: Here! Here it is. Look.
Philip read the letter that Kate sent.
Philip: What the fu--. I got something similar from my father implying that you weren’t you.
Chloe: Oh Philip. Even dead, they continue to torment us.
Philip: Unbelievable. And we fell right into their trap! [He looks at Chloe and touches her chin.] I kept trying to figure out if you were you, and all the signs pointed to “no.” Like when I gave you the wrong kind of body wash, you didn’t say anything.
Chloe: You knew it was the wrong kind?
Philip: Of course. It was a test.
Chloe: I thought you got it wrong and I didn’t say anything because I was trying to figure out if you were my Philip.
Philip: And my comment about sex in the elevator?
Chloe: Can we please not go there?
Philip: I was purposely saying things I knew weren’t accurate because I was trying to get you to correct me.
Chloe: And here I thought you were just confirming my fear that you were an imposter. I can’t tell you how scared I was thinking that me and my son were living with a strange man.
Philip: I’m not that strange.
Chloe laughed.
Chloe: Oh Philip. I love you so much.
Philip: Chloe.
He hugged her as tight as he could.
Philip: I love you more.
