Greenlee/Kendall.
SUMMARY: Greenlee
puzzles and ponders exactly why is it that everyone and their mother in Pine
Valley is drawn to Kendall, herself included, and comes to one very interesting
conclusion about the reason behind it.
DISCLAIMER: I own
nothing but my love of GAK. Such a horrible name for a ship, it's hilarious.
Oh, and my disdain for BAM!
FEEDBACK: Send it
because I've got a little motto that always sees me through. When you're good
to Mama then Mama's good to you.
AUTHOR’S NOTE: Greenlee
and Kendall really are heirs to Erica in playing great bitchy women whom you
love to love and love even more to hate at times. And considering that what's
better than seeing them together? Not much if you ask me. Well, perhaps an on
screen LAB sex scene but that's not happening. Anyway, this might be out of
character, hell if I know. It's just train of thought and bitchy moments.
The
Girl All The Good Guys Want
By:
Dreiser
It was a ridiculous situation, really it was.
How Kendall Hart had managed to put herself as an integral part of so many
peoples lives Greenlee du Pres would never know. All she did know is she found
it entirely frustrating. Especially with one of those people constantly lurking
in Fusion's offices looking at Kendall with a moon eyed expression.
Boyd Larraby had to be destroyed.
Well, okay, not exactly destroyed but he had to
at least be removed from Fusion. After all, it wasn't just a matter of him
being horribly annoying, he also worked for the competition. Of course, some
would argue that Kendall should be removed too since she happened to be back in
Mommy's good graces. She already spied for Erica against Michael so what was to
stop her from spying again? This time on Fusion?
Then again, Greenlee pointedly ignored that
string of logic at all costs.
Although she loathed to admit it, she found
herself among those sucked in by Kendall's insufferable lost little girl charm.
There was something unbearably vulnerable about her that served to draw people in.
Because who could honestly resist those blue gray eyes when they were brimming
over with emotion?
Sometimes while looking into them Greenlee, god
help her, experienced an absurd desire to hug Kendall. Usually whenever Kendall
tried to pull off her bad girl routine. Really, in all her long years living at
countless all girl boarding schools where attending pretentious parties was a
lifestyle, she had never met someone so terrible at being bad.
Like almost everything else in Pine Valley, the
answer led back to one person. Erica Kane, who Greenlee was forced to relent,
had reason to have such a huge ego. If she had so many
people/events/happenstances in one town always link back to her she might get
an big head covered with overly styled hair too.
Following in the footsteps of an infinite line
of abandoned husbands and or love interests, Kendall spent most of her adult
life chasing after Erica's affections. Mommy was the only person whose approval
really mattered to her and of course, because of this, she was the hardest
person to get it from.
This endless cycle eventually led to Kendall
developing that impossibly heart tugging vulnerable charm that unwittingly
ensnared all of those around her. It had even managed to finally affect Erica
and maybe even Michael Cambias too.
As far as Greenlee was concerned this simply wouldn't do. Kendall needed to be kept far
away from Erica Kane and Michael Cambias, not
draw them closer in. While Erica did mean well, Greenlee knew in the long
run she'd only end up crushing Kendall again under the path of her callous
high heeled shoes personality. And Michael? Please...
Greenlee couldn't even start her list of insults
for Michael without it lasting the better part of a century. Part of her
wondered if Leo had ruined her for all men by just being Leo but if this was
true, she was still grateful to her late husband. He had certainly raised her
bar of standards and kept her away from losers like Michael Cambias forever.
Letting these two near Kendall would only serve
to increase her vulnerable charm, making her perhaps the most enthralling
creature in all of Pine Valley. Now, they already had a good five people not
related to the operation of Fusion whatsoever just hovering around their
offices thanks to this, and Greenlee would be damned if more of their kind
would join the numbers.
Boyd, though harmless, really was far too
annoying for his own good.
It wasn't him so much as... well, how to put it
nicely? Oh, screw nicely. These were her private thoughts weren't they? She
could be as bitchy as she wanted here. It wasn't Boyd that annoyed her so much
as the fact that he was obviously a gay boy in denial. Every time he was around
she dearly missed her Leo because he could deal with this much better than her.
No one was better than Leo with helping gay folks out themselves.
Well, he HAD been instrumental in helping
Lesbianca hadn't he?
That was a fairly obvious matter though. Obvious
to everyone but Erica, that is. Anyway, Boyd was clearly a gay boy and Greenlee
hardly thought dating a gay man would be good for Kendall's already low self
confidence levels. Michael had put her at an absolute low it seemed and that
had to be corrected.
Though some might wonder why exactly was
Greenlee so invested in Kendall's ego getting a well deserved boost? And why
did she care if she dated nice gay boys in denial? Anyone had to be better than
Michael Cambias, you know.
Maybe because she was about to go insane from
avoiding Carlos. Everywhere she turned people were shoving him in her face.
Look, it's Carlos! Isn't he sexy? Isn't he so talented artistically? Isn't he
the perfect guy? Carlos, Carlos, Carlos!
That was it, if one more person mentioned his
name to her today she would kick them square in the ass. She was sick of the
man. Not only couldn't he write his own bad love letters but he couldn't take
no for an answer. To Greenlee no means no wasn't only a lame ad campaign
against sexual violence, it was the simple truth.
If Greenlee du Pres told you no you damn well better
believe she means it. And at this point, she couldn't even keep track of how
many times she'd said it in regards to Carlos. She could always keep track by
putting up a chalk board in Fusion offices but something told her that Simone
wouldn't appreciate it.
Speaking of Simone...
Narrowing her eyes, Greenlee rose up from her
desk and slowly made her way over towards Kendall who was starting to emit mass
amounts of vulnerable charm. Right next to Kendall stood Simone, attempting to
look sympathetic, which to Greenlee made her look rather constipated.
Especially when you added in that 100 year old smoker's voice.
The instant her hand covered in tacky blood red
nails wrapped around Kendall's waist to give her a gentle squeeze, Greenlee
went into motion. In one solid movement, she pulled her dainty right leg back
and kicked Simone square in the ass.
Because even if she hadn't mentioned Carlos yet
today, she eventually would.
Only seconds passed before the Fusion office burst into chaos. It began with
Simone whirling around and asking Greenlee what
the hell was she doing and ended when Greenlee gave the sarcastic reply of,
"Kicking your ass."
This, of course, led to the crippled Mia having
to hold back a ravenous Simone from attacking Greenlee while Liza rolled her
eyes and supplied her always witty commentary on the situation. As this went
on, Kendall watched with impossibly large blue gray eyes that soon turned
to Greenlee and asked her silently why.
Which made Greenlee feel bad for about one moment
before Kendall's lips tugged up in a mischievous smile and her eyes twinkled
with definite amusement. Then flipping her curly hair over her shoulder, Kendall
neared the ranting Simone and clasped her shoulder.
"I think you should forgive Greenlee for
now," Kendall said in soothing tones. Leaning down as she was a rare
example of being a statuesque woman in Pine Valley, she met Simone's eyes and
smiled. "She hasn't been herself lately." Looking back at Greenlee
who immediately attempted to look chastised, she continued, "The situation
with Carlos hasn't been easy for her, as we all know."
"Yeah, well," Simone rumbled, sounding
more like a lung cancer victim by the hour. "I think we also know she
doesn't deserve a guy as good as Carlos."
Kendall's eyebrows shot up at this remark as
she, and most everyone else there, heard the silent ring of the boxing arena
bell going off. The gauntlet had been thrown down and King Kong had been
released from its perpetual cage.
"I tell you what I don't deserve,"
Greenlee began as she stomped over to Simone, looking quite frightening despite
her petite size. "I don't deserve to have a brain dead starving artist
slash repairman forced onto me by everyone in the known world just because he
shows an iota of interest! What? My husband dies so I need to be comforted by
the first guy with rock hard abs that says hello to me?! What sort of sense
does that make!"
Before the room could explode into chaos again,
Greenlee found her arm hooked in Kendall's and herself being dragged into the
elevator. The doors finally shut with a nice view of a screaming Simone's face
just as she started back up on her "Carlos is a great guy" tirade
that Greenlee had heard more times than she would prefer.
"That was exciting," said Kendall dryly, her arm remaining hooked in Greenlee's while
she gazed down at the smaller woman. "So,"
she drawled with a smirk, "want to tell me the truth about exactly why
you kicked Simone in the ass back there?"
"It was fun," replied Greenlee just as
dryly, meeting Kendall's gaze easily.
The only reply she got was Kendall heaving a
sigh and seconds later, the elevator jerked to a stop and Greenlee looked up to
see Kendall standing in front of the myriad of buttons. It led her to the
natural conclusion that the other woman was responsible for their sudden stop.
Folding her arms over her chest and looking at Greenlee with a somewhat stern
expression, Kendall said, "I want the truth, Greenlee."
"I want world peace," Greenlee shot
back, "but we don't always get what we want."
"You want world peace?" countered
Kendall, raising an eyebrow and chuckling. She took a step forward, making
Greenlee begin to step back before realizing what she was doing and stubbornly
holding her ground. "Lets be more honest, shall we?"
"Fine," Greenlee sneered as best she
could. Though it was hard to sneer with Kendall getting closer by the moment,
causing her to become enveloped in the intoxicating smell of her perfume.
Probably another genius creation from the gay boyfriend, no doubt. "I
kicked her in the ass because I didn't like how she was touching you. And
because I'm sick of hearing how good of a guy Carlos is."
"Oh?" Kendall remarked, the smile on
her lips growing larger. "But I think he's a good guy." She was
closer yet now, so close that Greenlee's head was swimming from the gay chemist
perfume and she swore she'd do more than kick Boyd in the ass if he had ever
managed to get this close to Kendall. "I just don't think he's the person
for you."
"Person?" asked Greenlee, her dark
brown eyes going wide.
"Person," repeated Kendall and
Greenlee wondered, looking up at her now, how she had ever thought this woman
to be vulnerable and needing her protection. Right about now, if she hadn't
been so turned on, she would've liked someone to protect her from Kendall.
Of course, that scarce thought was immediately
washed away by Kendall pressing her lips against hers for a kiss that was so
deep, hard, and desperate that for the first time in all of her life, Greenlee
moaned into another person's mouth and pulled them closer. She had always been
standoffish in her love affairs, letting whoever she was with be the one to
express the need to be together. This was the only way she knew how to be
simply because it was the only way she had learned to protect herself.
But with Kendall pressing into her with hungry
lips that were so soft, god... so heavenly soft and full, devouring hers in a
ferocious manner she had never experienced before, it was a wonder Greenlee
could think at all, much less protect herself. Something in her told her this
was why she had been watching Kendall, why she wanted her. Just like Leo before
her, Greenlee had always felt comfortable with Kendall.
She felt safe with her.
Safe enough to slip her hands underneath
Kendall's flimsy blouse to cup her breasts, making the taller woman whimper as
their lips parted and they breathed hard, looking deep into each others eyes.
Those blue gray eyes that Greenlee so admired were filled with so many emotions
they were hard to decipher but she could clearly see love and desire in them.
So clearly that she rose up on her tip toes and wound her fingers around
Kendall's neck to draw her in for another kiss.
And when they pulled apart in what seemed like
endless moments later, they were breathing deep and heavy, resting against one
another for support. Greenlee's hands played at the small of Kendall's back as
the taller woman lay her head against her neck, whispering into her ear in a
low husky voice, "I think I'm the person for you."
Greenlee's only reply was a tender smile and a
tug, bringing Kendall back into her arms to possess her with a quiet passion
that few in Pine Valley could even imagine matching. It would be several hours
before Fusion got their elevator working again and when they did, almost
everyone who worked there, including Simone, wished it otherwise.
There were certain things that even Simone
didn't want to see. One of Greenlee's very well hidden racy tattoos being
amongst them. But then again, we don't often get what we want do we? Unless
your name happens to be Greenlee du Pres, that is. Because even though she
might not be considered by everyone to be a good guy, she always got what she
wanted. Which definitely included Kendall Hart.
