Chapter 8

"Now where are you going looking all fancy?"

"I’m getting ready for a date."

"A date huh? With who?"

"Um, Lorenzo Alcazar." Justus spit out his water after being told who Keesha was getting all ready for.

"WHAT?"

"Not you too."

"Not me too? Who else said something, wait let me guess Jason?"

"Yes."

"And you didn’t heed to his advice?!"

"I don’t heed to anyone who’s in the same boat as the person that he’s pointing the fingers to."

"What did Jason tell you?"

"That he was bad news, drug dealer, yada, yada, yada."

"Yada, yada, yada?! He’s telling the truth Keesha! He’s nothing but trouble!"

"Ok, I heard you the first time."

"Keesha!"

"Justus!"

"He kidnapped Carly and Courtney his ex-wife."

"Yes I know."

"He’s the reason Carly got shot in the head." Keesha stopped putting her makeup on and looked at her cousin in shock.

"What?"

"While she was giving birth to Morgan, Sonny thought he was hurting her, shot him but the bullet went through him and into her head."

"That’s awful."

"Its not too late to cancel."

"Well I’m not going to."

"WHY NOT?!"

"Because I’m not Justus! I just went over to an ex-mobster’s house for dinner a few nights ago, and I surprisingly got along with Carmen Santos despite her reputation, so do you honestly think I’m going to judge this man that everyone keeps telling me not to go out with? I mean you’re basically pushing me towards him."

"Keesha I can’t believe you’re doing this."

"Look Justus I’m not a fool, I know what I’m doing." The knock from door ended the conversation between her and Justus. "I’ve got it." Keesha made it to the door and opened it to awaiting Jason. Jason’s eyes almost popped out of his head. She looked stunning. The black halter style dress, slanted just above the knee showed off her beautiful mocha skin. The top gave a glimpse to her perfect round breast accentuated with gold shimmer. She curled her hair back the way he remembered her hair looking last time he saw her except with more inches. Basically she was stunning and he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

"Hey Jason, here to see Justus?"

"Uh….yeah…" Jason walked into the apartment and closed the door behind him. Keesha walked away returning to her compact looking once more at her makeup. "Something special going on tonight?" Jason gasped as she turned her around showing her bare back. Her skin looked so smooth, he just wanted to touch.

"Lil bit here is going out."

"Oh, um what’s the occasion?"

"I’m going out on a date" she replied.

"Oh" he said flatly.

"With Lorenzo Alcazar" Justus groaned.

"WHAT?!" Jason’s voice clasped across the room, shocking both Keesha and Justus.

"Did you not hear what we told you at dinner?!"

"Yes I did."

"And you’re still going out with him?!"

"Yes I am."

"Oh my God" Jason sighed running his hands through his hair.

"If you haven’t noticed or care to have forgotten, I am no longer with you, ok? You pushed me to the side years ago, I’m doing me for right now, ok?"

"So that’s what it is, you haven’t really forgiven me for what happened?"

"Of course I have, but I’m not going to sit around and pretend like nothing happened because you finally said sorry."

Jason’s argument was cut short from the knock on the door. "I’ll get it" she moaned griming Jason and her cousin. "Alcazar."

"Ms. Ward."

"Ah, ah, ah."

"I mean Keesha, you look fantastic."

"As well as you." Lorenzo’s eyes moved behind Keesha over to Jason and Justus. "Hello Mr. Ward, Mr. Morgan."

Neither men said anything to Lorenzo as he gave them this smirk that just didn’t settle with either one of them. Keesha returned to the door with her coat stepping in between the anger that flowed between the three.

"I’m ready if you are."

"That I am."

"I’ll be back later Justus." With that Keesha and Lorenzo was gone. Jason was fuming mad, Alcazar was going to pay for that.

"This place is beautiful" Keesha sighed as Lorenzo poured her another glass of champagne.

"I’m glad you like it." Lorenzo took Keesha to a new French in downtown Port Charles.

"So tell me, this has been the longest you’ve been in town in 5 years?"

"Yes, yes it is. Its all really amazing because though things are pretty much the same, there’s a lot of change."

"That can happen sometimes."

Keesha took a sip of her champagne before gathering all the courage to say what she had on her mind. "You know I was well advised not to come out to dinner with you."

"By who? Your cousin? Morgan?"

"Along with Sonny and Carly Corinthos."

Lorenzo began to fiddle in his chair. He chalked up Morgan being at the Ward’s because the lawyer was his cousin but he didn’t know Sonny and Carly had gotten to her first.

"Really?" he said taking a gulp of champagne.

"So is it all true?"

"Is what all true?"

"The things with Carly, the abduction? Courtney?" Lorenzo looked away.

"Yes" he mumbled.

"Look I’m not judging you, I just wanted to know if they weren’t trying to sling your name through the mud."

"Well thanks for your concern. I know that hearing everything I’ve done in the past is a bit unsettling, but I am a changed man and I’m not just saying that to get in your good graces. I’ve changed my ways. I no longer associate myself with organized crime and--" Keesha held her hand up to stop Lorenzo’s rambling.

"I gotcha" she smiled. "Now no more talk about all of that, let’s finish dinner. After a great dinner and plenty of champagne, Lorenzo walked Keesha back to her door stumbling.

"I…I had a wonderful time.."

"Are you shayin dat cuz’ of the champagne?"

"No…I’m shayin it becud I did." Keesha could help but laugh at his slurred words. Maybe those 2 bottles of champagne was a bit much. Lorenzo clasped her hands together.

"Yeah, yeah I did, did you?"

"Jeah…"she sighed. "Prwobabwee the best time shense I’ve been here."

Lorenzo smiled, even though she was tipsy he knew she had a good time regardless. Lorenzo moved in and kissed Keesha on the cheek. Looking into her brown eyes he needed more. Lorenzo trailed his kisses from her cheek to her soft lips. He slipped his tongue inside of her mouth, his tongue taking what his body desired. Keesha felt a tingle go through her spine as Lorenzo kissed her. Lorenzo deepened the kiss, wrapping his hands in her hair pulling her closer. Lorenzo pulled away from the kiss and began to place kisses down the side of her neck. Keesha’s knees began to buckle as his lips and tongue grazed up her neck back up to her lips for one more kiss. Keesha smiled, opening her eyes upon his. Lorenzo sighed as her eyes blinked, batting her fluffy eyelashes.

"Goodnight" he sighed.

"Goodnight." Keesha turned around and walked into the apartment.

"Maybe this won’t be so hard, fucking her wouldn’t be a hard task" he thought to himself. He enjoyed the minimal kissing, he couldn’t imagine what else he’d enjoy. Lorenzo walked to the elevator surprisingly greeted by Jason Morgan and his 9mm.

"I ought to kill you right here, right now."

"Why? And not even give me the opportunity to give her a test ride? I mean if the rest of her body tastes as good as her lips then I can’t wait to taste her pu--" Jason snatched Lorenzo up and pushed him with force against the wall of the elevator.

"You’re going to regret saying that, this I promise you."

The doors of the elevator opened. Jason gave the man one more look before leaving. Jason headed out of the elevator and reached in for his cell phone.

"Meyer, round up Marco and Max, tonight is Lorenzo Alcazar’s last night in Port Charles."
