It was all dark outdoors except for the lights cast from the neon lights from the cinema and the streetlights. Happy couples started walking out from the cinema but John Ross was nowhere to be found. Sue Ellen sighed, “I still don’t understand why you insisted on coming into town with me!”</p><p></p><p> JR turned to her and replied, “Because it’s late and downtown Dallas is no place for a lady!”</p><p></p><p> “How sweet you are concerned about me,” Sue Ellen replied in a sarcastic tone of voice showing that she really didn’t mean it. “Now tell me JR darling, if that’s so why were you never worried about me when I was out by myself getting drunk in some bar, while we were married?”</p><p></p><p> “I was.”</p><p></p><p> “Right you were!”</p><p></p><p> “No I’m serious. I was worried sick, why do you think I had you locked up in that Sanitarium?”</p><p></p><p>JR’s words stung her like a bee, as that time was one of the unhappiest in her life. Yet she couldn’t really avoid the topic now when he had brought it up. So she said sadly, “I thought it was to punish me!”</p><p></p><p> “No,” JR shook his head. “I was desperate. I really thought it was for your own good.”</p><p></p><p> “Yeah right, that place was like a prison that I had to break out of.”</p><p></p><p> “I remember,” JR said emotionally. “It was the day John Ross was born. I was so scared I’d lose you both and I so regretted leaving you at that place.”</p><p></p><p> “You did?”</p><p></p><p> “Yeah, I prayed to God that you’d live and I made a vow to myself to be a better husband if you did.” JR confided in her and Sue Ellen couldn’t help but smirk as that explained why JR had suddenly taken an interest in her after John Ross’ birth.</p><p></p><p> “Well I guess I didn’t make it easy for you.” Sue Ellen replied, as she remembered how she had resisted all of his advances at the time. She’d just been too hurt to want him then.</p><p></p><p> “No you didn’t, but I deserved it for the way I treated you when you were pregnant.”</p><p></p><p> “I’m not gonna argue with you there. Those months were some of the unhappiest of my life,” Sue Ellen said wistfully. “Yet it was worth it to have John Ross.”</p><p></p><p> “Yeah that boy sure is something,” JR smiled.</p><p></p><p> “He is the best thing that came out of our marriage!”</p><p></p><p> “Definitely,” he agreed. “I must say that I’m proud over the young man he’s turning into. You’ve raised him well.”</p><p></p><p> “Thank you JR,” Sue Ellen smiled. “But I didn’t do it alone. You were there for his formative years.”</p><p></p><p> “I know that but I still feel like I’ve missed a lot in four years. I mean he was only 12 when he moved to England to live with you, so a lot has happened in his life since then.”</p><p></p><p> “That’s true,” Sue Ellen nodded.</p><p></p><p> “So why didn’t you tell me about his girlfriends when we talked the other day?” JR asked bluntly.</p><p></p><p> Sue Ellen shifted uncomfortably before she said, “Because I thought that it was up to him to tell you himself.” Sue Ellen then cracked a smile as she added teasingly, “Because don’t tell me that you’re not looking forward to have that father-son talk with John Ross.”</p><p></p><p> JR laughed, “Oh I think it’s a little <em>too late</em> for that now. So why don’t you fill me in instead?”</p><p></p><p> “You really wanna know?” She asked.</p><p></p><p> “We’re talking about my boy here, so of course I do,” he smiled.</p><p></p><p> “Alright I’ll tell you, so what do you wanna know?”</p><p></p><p> “Well how many girlfriends has he had?”</p><p></p><p> “Three that I know of,” she replied.</p><p></p><p> JR whistled appreciating, “Three, that’s not bad.”</p><p></p><p> Sue Ellen gave him an annoyed look, “And this is why we shouldn’t have this conversation.”</p><p></p><p> “What did I do?”</p><p></p><p> “Oh <em>please</em>, like you don’t know, the next thing you’re gonna tell me how he’s a chip off the old block.”</p><p></p><p> “Well what’s wrong with that?”</p><p></p><p> “You’re such a womanizer,” she sighed.</p><p></p><p> “Don’t throw stones Sue Ellen. As I recall you weren’t exactly faithful to me either when we were married…”</p><p></p><p> “That’s not fair. I only had affairs because you pushed me to.”</p><p></p><p> “I did no such thing!”</p><p></p><p> “Yes you did, by your constant neglect. If you had given me half the attention you’re giving to me now I would never have cheated and you know it!”</p><p></p><p> “No I don’t know it, besides you can’t blame me for your actions.”</p><p></p><p> “Can’t I?”</p><p></p><p> “Oh Sue Ellen please can you just drop it?”</p><p></p><p> “Why?”</p><p></p><p> “Because I didn’t come here to argue with you,” JR sighed.</p><p></p><p> “So why did you come then?” Sue Ellen asked. “To sweet talk me?”</p><p></p><p> “No to discuss our boy,” JR steered the conversation back on track. “So why don’t you tell me more about his girlfriends?”</p><p></p><p> Sue Ellen sighed, as she didn’t want to have this conversation with JR. But since he was John Ross’s father he had a right to know. So she went on. “Alright, the first was named Sandra. He met her at a summer camp Don sent…”</p><p></p><p> “Whoa wait a minute now, John Ross goes to live with you and you allow that idiot husband of yours to send him off to summer camp?”</p><p></p><p> “JR criticizing my husband is not gonna help…”</p><p></p><p> “Well it’s not my fault he doesn’t like kids. So why didn’t you send John Ross to Southfork over the summer instead?” JR asked and Sue Ellen went quiet. “You know that I would have loved to spend more time with our son!”</p><p></p><p> “I know,” Sue Ellen sighed.</p><p></p><p>“So why didn’t you?” JR asked. “Was it because you were afraid he’d stay here if you let him leave England...”</p><p></p><p>“No,” Sue Ellen shook her head before she reluctantly added, “John Ross didn’t want to go visit you at Southfork.”</p><p></p><p> “He said that?”</p><p></p><p> “I’m sorry but yes he did.”</p><p></p><p> “Ouch,” JR looked hurt and not finding the words to comfort him Sue Ellen just changed the subject.</p><p></p><p> “Anyway like I said, John Ross met his first girlfriend at <em>Isle of Wright</em> where he went to the Scouts Summer camp when he was 13. He asked me if she could come visit us. Since he was just a child in my eyes naturally I said yes. I later wish I hadn’t. You’ll see it turns out Sandra was two years older than him and she seduced him in our house.”</p><p></p><p> “Are you sure about that?” JR asked. “I mean 13 is pretty young…”</p><p></p><p> “I know, but yes I am sure. You’ll see I had the misfortune of walking in on him and Sandra sleeping in the same bed one morning. That’s when I knew!”</p><p></p><p> JR laughed, “Oh My God, that’s embarrassing!”</p><p></p><p> “Tell me about it,” Sue Ellen said sarcastically.</p><p></p><p>“I meant for John Ross…”</p><p></p><p>“Naturally you did,” Sue Ellen said. “Anyway I didn’t handle things too good. I forced him to break up with Sandra, thinking that would solve the problem. But John Ross just moved on to the first available girl at school.”</p><p></p><p> “Well figures, asking a teenage boy who’s started to have sex to give it up is like asking a kid in a candy shop not to eat the sweets!” JR chuckled.</p><p></p><p> “True,” Sue Ellen laughed. “Even Don and I could see that so that time we didn’t interfere but let the relationship run its course.”</p><p></p><p> “Smart choice,” JR agreed. “So how long did it last?”</p><p></p><p> “The rest of the school year,” Sue Ellen replied. “Poor John Ross was so bummed when it ended that Don and I agreed to send him on a language trip to Ibiza instead of back to summer camp!”</p><p></p><p> JR laughed, “Well I’m sure he bounced right back after that one!”</p><p></p><p> “What do you mean by that?”</p><p></p><p> “Oh like you don’t know.”</p><p></p><p> “Know what?”</p><p></p><p> “Those trips are just an excuse for kids to booze and get laid.”</p><p></p><p> “No they’re not, they happen to be very educational…”</p><p></p><p> “Oh really so what exactly are John Ross’s grades in Spanish?”</p><p></p><p> “Um…not all that great but…”</p><p></p><p> “My point exactly,” JR grinned and Sue Ellen looked pensive, as she wondered for the first time just what her son had done that summer in Spain. However she didn’t have too much time to think it over before JR went on. “So now tell me about his last girlfriend?”</p><p></p><p> “Well John Ross met Kate at school.

[QUOTE="Karin, post: 98653, member: 57167"] Thank you everyone for the feedback. It's always appreciated. :) [B]Ms Southworth, [/B]thanks for the holiday wishes. My Christmas was ok thanks. :) Well I think Cliff can be a bit immature at times. Maybe it's because he's so ego that I interpret him that way. Anyway it's not the first time he's dropped ice-cream on himself... :lol: I'm glad you enjoyed the Donna and Miss Ellie scene so much and that you could imagine it being played out by the actresses. :) I had a feeling you would enjoy that scene as you've requested more one on one scenes with Miss Ellie... [B]Sanda, [/B]thanks for the holiday wishes. Also it's after Christmas so I'm back with more of the story. :) Okay so here's tonight's [B]update: [/B] It was right before eleven at night when Sue Ellen parked JR’s car outside of the multiplex in town. It was all dark outdoors except for the lights cast from the neon lights from the cinema and the streetlights. Happy couples started walking out from the cinema but John Ross was nowhere to be found.
