She and Nathan were his best friends, until he succumbed to a tempting offer.

Flash Back

The Bishop mansion was empty, except for Bob's new wife: Linda. Nathan walked into the house, he was back for the holidays, all he felt like doing was talking to Elle. She understands him, they both had controlling, meddling parents and futures already planned out for them. He was a bit worried about Elle, when she was a kid some days she was fine, but others her eyes a had a pink ring around them, she was pale and looked sick.

Nathan: Elle? You home?

He spotted a shadow walking towards him, Linda Bishop walked out from behind the wall, she wore a skimpy aqua bikini and high black stilettos. She carried a glass of champagne; her long blonde, curly hair flowed over her shoulders.

Linda: No, she's on an assignment

Nathan: Oh, ok I'll come back later

Linda: Sweetie, stay here, I'm sure she'll be back soon, come join me at the pool

She walked outside onto the deck, Nathan followed her, how could he refuse to that, she was probably in her 30's but she was 'hot'. She jumped into the pool and swam slowly, Nathan drooled, and any man that didn't drool over her must be gay. She gestured him to come in the pool, he willingly took of his shirt and jumped in.

Linda: I bet you wouldn't be in the pool if Elle was here

Nathan: Nah, she doesn't like water

Linda: That girl is a strange one

Nathan: nah, she's great, I love her

Linda: Love her?

Nathan: yer of course, she's my best friend

Linda: do you want a little more than friendship?

She swam closer to him, she way to close for his comfort zone.

Nathan: Oh, ummm, I would if she wanted to, I just don't want to ruin our friendship if she just wants to be friends

Linda: I wasn't talking about her sweetie

She said promiscuously leaning in and kissing him, he just stood there in shock while she continued to force her tongue in his mouth.

Elle: Oh... ummm.. err... I'm sorry

Nathan looked at her with so much guilt, he didn't mean to be kissing her

Elle: I'm just going to go

Nathan saw a little tear in her eye, he knew she only cried when something really bad happened.

He jumped out of the pool and ran after her; he stopped at the corner and saw her talking to Danny.

Danny; Hey, slow down... what's wrong?

A tear ran down her cheek, she pressed her head against his chest, he hugged her tight, he had wanted this for so long, had loved her for so long.

They stood there hugging for a long time.

Danny: Do you want to get out of here?

She nodded; he softly held her hand and led her outside to his limo.
