Message: <blockquote data-quote="Karin Schill" data-source="post: 32017">Thank you for the feedback Honkytonkangel and Jessie. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Honkytonkangel, there will be no accident. But the reason they are on a roadtrip is so that they will arrive at Southfork way later than Donna and Margaret! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Then as for JR/SE yes with Don out of the picture there's nothing stopping them from getting back together or is it? Jessie, you'll find out in time if your guess about the movie being released in the US is right...Also since this will be my last update before Christmas I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! <img src="http://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/noel/pere-noel/1bonnet.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":14:" title="14    :14:" data-shortname=":14:" />Oh and this graphic is like Rebecca on Christmas... <img src="http://www.smiley-lol.com/smiley/noel/cadeaux08.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":20:" title="20    :20:" data-shortname=":20:" /> (spoiled rotten and excited) lolEnough said here's the update: Sue Ellen was having trouble sleeping. She looked at the alarm clock. Shit, it’s early, she sighed, since it was only 4.57 in the morning. Still being jetlagged she knew that it was impossible to try to sleep any longer. Since the time was already 11 a.m. in England her body was not in the slightest tired anymore. So Sue Ellen went up and walked over to the window where nothing but darkness greeted her. Right, Texas sunrises come later, she remembered and at that moment she really missed London where the sun would already have risen at this time. For a moment she pondered calling Don to have a serious conversation with him in private. But then she decided against it as a part of her really didn’t feel like starting the morning with having another argument with her husband. No why argue with Don when there are better things that I could be doing? Sue Ellen smiled, as she remembered past mornings that she’d spent on the ranch. I always loved swimming in the pool first thing in the morning, or going out for a ride or skipping breakfast and making love with JR until… Sue Ellen stopped her train of thoughts as the memories that washed over her made her weak. Oh God help me. I haven’t even been here a day yet and I already remember things that are better left forgotten, Sue Ellen bit her lip as she tried to block out any good times with JR from her mind. I’m not here to make up with JR. I am here to spend some time with his family. JR just lives here. Sure we’ll bump into each other from time to time but not like that. Never again like that. I’m married to Don now, Sue Ellen reminded herself.Knowing that it was pointless to try to sleep any longer Sue Ellen decided to go out riding before breakfast. After all there’s nothing like the morning air at Southfork. It’s always so refreshing and cool, unlike later in the day when it’s crazy hot. So why not make the most out of my first morning at the ranch? Sue Ellen smiled, as riding seemed like the perfect way to spend the morning. She therefore got dressed appropriately and pulled her hair back in a ponytail, as to not let the wind blow it into her face. Then she walked downstairs to grab a cup of tea and a sandwich before heading out. As she entered the kitchen she was surprised to find JR sitting there in his robe and slippers, drinking a glass of milk. He looked really sad and sleepy and the sight of him made her heart melt.“JR,” Sue Ellen greeted him softly. Her voice startled him and he looked up. When their eyes meet, she suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as how many nights hadn’t she accidentally bumped into him in the kitchen when they’d had separate bedrooms. The only difference was that back then she’d always wished for closeness, for a touch from him, a look from him, a sign from him that he too wanted something more than what they had. Now she really didn’t look for anything from him. He was just there.“Sue Ellen, you’re up early,” he replied, as he eyed her up and down. She was not wearing an ounce of makeup and was dressed casually in jeans, a pink shirt and cowboy boots and yet to him she's the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.“Yeah I can’t sleep so…”“Then that makes two of us,” he replied.   “Well I know I’m jetlagged but what’s your reason?” She asked, as she filled up the water boiler and put it on.“You really have to ask?” “No, not really,” Sue Ellen sighed, as despite all the years they had spent apart, she still knew how to read him like an open book. He’s upset about the movie. She just knew it, just like she knew that the sun was about to rise in an hour or so. She had hoped that he might talk to her, but since he was obviously angry with her Sue Ellen proceeded with making herself a sandwich in silence. Feeling his eyes on her, watching her every move, she started to feel nervous. Not being able to stand the silence any longer she added, “I just thought that you’d might want to talk that’s all.”JR glared at her and said annoyed, “Sue Ellen do I look like I want to talk?”Looking into his blue eyes she felt a shock run through her. Even after all the years apart there was a certain sexual tension lingering in the air. “No,” she replied, before she had to look down. As the heat in his eyes were just too much for her to take. You look like you want to have angry make up sex. Sue Ellen knew that look too well. She had to turn away, as there was something about this whole situation that was making her feel uncomfortable. “But I’d still feel better if you’d talk to me,” she insisted, as she poured the tea water. “Alright, have a seat,” JR motioned towards the chair next to his.Sue Ellen hesitated for a moment before she sat down next to him. An uncomfortable silence lingered between them before she said, “JR I’m so sorry about the movie. I never intended for it to be released and…”“I know,” he interrupted her.“You do?” She asked before she looked up to search his eyes for the truth.  “Yeah you told me before, remember?”“I guess I sort of did. I just thought that you might still be angry about it.”“Well a part of me is angry, another part is hurt but…”“I’m sorry I never wanted to hurt you.”“Well coming from a woman who once shot me I find that a little bit hard to believe!”Sue Ellen looked down in remorse. As no matter how badly JR had treated her over the years there was no denying the fact that what she did to him was even worse.  “So do you want me to leave?” Sue Ellen asked. “I mean if me staying here is too weird for you now, just say the words and I’ll be on the next flight back to England.”“Well I thought we went over this before. Mama and Bobby already told you that you could stay.”“I know what they said. But I was wondering how you feel about it?”“I don’t want you to leave,” JR told her sincerely. “I mean you and John Ross just got here and he’d be so disappointed if you left before he’d had a chance to spend some time together with both of us…”“True,” Sue Ellen nodded, before they went silent for a while. “I guess if you really don’t want me to leave I could stay for a month as agreed.”“And what would I have to do to convince you to stay longer than that?”“Excuse me?” Sue Ellen asked, as she wondered if she’d really heard him right.“I just mean that don’t you ever miss Texas?”“Well sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t…”“So you’re happy then?”“What?” Sue Ellen was thrown by the question, as that so wasn’t what she had expected him to say. “I mean are you happy living in England?” JR clarified for her. “Yeah sure,” Sue Ellen lied. “Why do you ask?”“Oh no particular reason, it’s just from the way you were talking to Don over the phone earlier, I got the feeling that something wasn’t right between the two of you…” “All couples argue JR. It really was nothing.”“It didn’t sound like nothing to me,” JR pointed out. “I mean most happily married couples don’t talk about divorce.”There was something in JR’s voice that really got to her. She knew that there was a grain of truth in his statement. Yet she did her best to deny it, “I’m sorry to disappoint you JR. But I have no intention of divorcing Don.” “But why did you tell him that then?” “Because I was mad at him for releasing the movie behind my back.”“Yeah that was really rotten. I can see why that would make you pissed. I sure am.” “Well I am too but just because I am angry and disappointed it doesn’t mean that I will divorce him,” Sue Ellen said seriously, before adding sarcastically. “Heck if I’d divorced you every time I threatened to do so we’d been divorced thirty times over!”“Well for you to divorce me thirty times that would have to mean you would have to marry me thirty times over too,” JR laughed.  Realizing how that had sounded Sue Ellen couldn’t help but smile, “God help me, twice is more than enough.”“Oh I don’t know about that, it seems like the third time’s the charm in our family,” JR flirted with her.“JR!”“Oh I’m just saying that it worked out for Gary & Valene and now Lucy & Mitch…”“That’s true but you’re forgetting about the fact that I’m already married.”“Oh I know that and so was I.”“That’s right, so whatever happened between you and Cally?”“You happened, that’s what.”“I am not sure I understand…” “Let’s just chalk it up to incompatibility, let’s face it, I wouldn’t have married that country girl if it hadn’t been for your meddling anyway.” “Probably true,” Sue Ellen laughed. “Still when I left you seemed happy with her…”“For a while I was…then things fell apart, we reconciled, she got pregnant and…” JR’s words got to her more than she’d like. JR and Cally had a baby? The thought of the other woman having JR’s child made her feel momentarily sick. However knowing JR and how important children were to him she just couldn’t see Cally leaving him with his child.“Wait a minute, are you telling me that she had a miscarriage?” Sue Ellen was grasping at straws.“No she had a son.”“That’s strange John Ross never mentioned anything about a little brother.”“That’s because John Ross doesn’t know about it,” JR revealed. “So I’d appreciate it, if you won’t tell him.”“Okay I won’t,” Sue Ellen promised, even though she really didn’t get it. “But why isn’t you a part of your son’s life?”“Because Cally told me it was James’ baby,” JR sighed. “It wasn’t until after she’d already left that James told me the truth.”“And you went after her?”“I did,” JR nodded. “Found her in Florida. But then she had already found a new man and watching them with the baby I just realized that they didn’t need me in their lives. So I did the noble thing and left them alone,” JR confided in her.Seeing the pain in his eyes Sue Ellen could feel her defenses breaking down. He really has changed, as the old JR Ewing would never have let go of a son. Sue Ellen realized, before she gently lifted her hand and touched his face. “You did the right thing,” she said softly, as she strokes back a piece of his hair from his face. She then leant forward and for a moment he wondered if she was going to kiss him, since he could see the love and compassion in her eyes. Yet she settled for giving him a kiss on the cheek. Then she pulled back and distanced herself from him, almost like if she was running scared by this moment of closeness. “I’d better go out riding now or I’m gonna miss the sunrise,” Sue Ellen excused herself, as she picked up the tea cup and left the table. “So that’s where you’re going?”“Yes I’ve always loved the sunrise at Southfork,” Sue Ellen replied, as she placed the empty tea cup in the sink.“Riding sounds lovely, do you want some company?” JR’s question threw her. “Since I could change in five minutes if you’d want me to go with you…” Sue Ellen turned around, “You on a horse?” She asked in disbelief before she cracked up laughing. “What’s so funny, I do know how to ride”“I know it’s just that…” Sue Ellen paused, as she couldn’t even find the words to describe what she was feeling at the moment. When they were married she would have given anything for JR to go with her. Still now she felt like she was in a place where her whole world had been turned upside down and she knew that if she wasn’t careful JR was going to find a way to get back into her bed and she just couldn’t allow that to happen. Not again. So Sue Ellen sadly shook her head. “No I think I need to be alone for a while.” “Oh,” JR sounded truly disappointed. “To clear my head,” Sue Ellen elaborated. “There’s been a lot to take in at once.” “I understand,” JR nodded. “You’re not upset about what I told you about Cally?” “No,” Sue Ellen lied. “Why should I be?” “Oh I don’t know, for a long time you were the only woman to have given me a child.” “Well that was a long time ago.”“It was, but for what it’s worth, I want you to know that of all my children John Ross is the one who’s closest to my heart,” JR said sincerely.Sue Ellen smiled at that, “I’m glad to hear that, since you mean the world to John Ross too.” “Well I guess I shouldn’t be holding you up any longer or you’ll miss the sunrise,” he smiled back.“You’re right, I’d better get going,” Sue Ellen replied, as she reluctantly walked towards the door. Just when she got there she turned around and said, “So I’ll see you at breakfast.”“Yeah,” JR nodded. “Also maybe the next time you could go with me?”“You know I’d like that,” JR smiled and as he watched Sue Ellen leave he couldn’t help but feeling better about things. That woman has a way of listening like no other, she understands me better than anyone else. JR knew it was true. Sue Ellen might not be his wife anymore and yet in some ways they were still as close as they had ever been. Since she was still the only woman he really could confide in and he had really missed that. No I’ve missed her. JR corrected himself mentally since he knew that the fight for Sue Ellen was far from over. She might be Lockwood’s wife at the moment but as long as the Brit stayed away he had a chance to get to her and JR intended to do whatever it took to make damn sure that Sue Ellen never left again.</blockquote>
