Patrick stepped off the elevator of General Hospital, in search for Dr. Robin Scorpio. She said it couldn’t be done; that he couldn’t plan the ultimate romantic get-away. Now that he has everything set up, he was about to prove her wrong. He was going to make it a night she would never forget. They would ring in the New Year in each others arms.

He spotted Robin talking to his father, Noah, and immediately grimaced. He really didn’t want to see him today; the last thing he needed was for his own dad spoiling his quest for romance with Robin. Deciding to just go with the flow, he approached the two of them.
“So, what’s going on?” he asked, looking at his father.

“Not much, Patrick. I was just filling Robin in on a patient that lapsed in a coma. We might have trouble, since she’s pregnant also,” he said, running his hands through his hair. Looking at Patrick and Robin, and the constant glances they kept giving one another, Noah suddenly realized that were in their own little world. Taking heed to their silence, Noah excused himself. “Well I’ll talk to you both later.”

Once Noah was out of sight, Patrick reached for Robin, pulling her close to him. “I thought he’d never leave,” he replied, dipping his head, capturing her lips with his. “When does your shift end?”

Smiling knowingly, Robin leaned into him. “I have one more hour; after that, I’m all yours,” she cooed, kissing him again, this time gently nibbling on his bottom lip.

Before Patrick could comment on Robin’s feistiness, Epiphany came around the corner, and from the glare she was giving them, it was no time to try to sweet talk. “I’m going to finish up some of my patient files, which will give me plenty of time to pass the time while you are finishing up that shift.”

“Oh, so now you want to get back to work,” Epiphany bellowed, glaring at Patrick as he hopped into the elevator that was closing. “Patrick Drake, you are skating on some mighty thin ice.” Turning to face Robin, Epiphany shoved some files at her. “While you’re standing there having x-rated thoughts of Dr. Patrick Drake, maybe you can put your mind to good use and finish these chart you have.”

Robin could do nothing but smile and walk away with the chart, not at all letting Epiphany get under her skin.

Robin’s hour at the hospital seemed like forever, but now that it was over, she was excited as to what Patrick could possibly have in store for her. Sitting on her couch, she tried to busy her mind by watching television until Patrick arrived. Her thoughts were cut short by the telephone ringing.

“Hello,” she answered into the phone. “Hey dad, what’s up? Oh, okay, well, I wish you a wonderful New Year too,” she said, smiling a little at the kind words Robert Scorpio was saying to her. “I love you too, dad. Bye.”

Once she hung up the phone, the doorbell caught her attention. Her face immediately lit up when she saw Patrick on the other side of the door. “I thought you’d never get here,” she said, seizing his lips. “So, tell me, what is this big secret plan you have for me?”

Smiling knowingly, Patrick held her hands in his. “Well, for one, you don’t have to pack heavy; in fact, all you need is a sexy nightie, a sexy little bikini, and a smile.”

Looking at him with a puzzled look, Robin became very interested in what Patrick had planned. “Can you tell me where you’re at least taking me?” she begged, trying to kiss the secret out of him. “Please.”

Not budging, Patrick continued to keep mum about where he was taking her. “Just get the items I mentioned and we’ll be on our way, okay?” he said, slapping her on her rear when she headed up the stairs.

It took Robin only fifteen minutes to gather her things and both were headed to their destination. The ride was a silent one; mainly because Patrick wasn’t asking any of her questions about where they were going. Forty minutes passed as they pulled up to a cute little building.

“Patrick….” Robin whispered, in awe as she read the sign, Romance in Bloom Bed & Breakfast. Stepping out of the car, she took Patrick’s hand and walked inside the beautifully decorated place. “Oh my, god, Patrick, I can’t believe….” Her words were silenced when Patrick kissed her.

“Shhhh,” he instructed, putting a finger to her lips. Approaching the counter, he rang the little bell.

An elegantly dressed lady came from the other room, a smile on her face, as she looked at her latest guests. “Well, hello, welcome to Romance in Bloom Bed & Breakfast, I’m Deidre Davis.” Opening her reservation book, she scanned for her party’s name. “You wouldn’t happen to be Mr. Noah Drake would you?”

Grinning a little, Patrick nodded, “That would be me, yes.” Glancing at Robin, he could tell that tonight was going to be a night neither one of them would soon forget; especially since tonight was New Year’s Eve.

Breaking into his thoughts, Deidre handed him a key. “You fine young people can head up to your room at anytime. Everything you requested Mr. Drake has been done to your liking, however, please let me know if there’s anything else you will need.” She was ready to head back to the back room, but turned to say one final thing to them. “You both have a wonderful New Year.”

Patrick and Robin made their way to their room. Opening the door and turning on the lights, both were floored at how beautiful the room was decorated. Rose pedals on the bed, a large bottle of champagne chilling next to the bed, and on the other side of the room a Jacuzzi.

“I can’t believe this,” Robin gasped, looking around the room, placing her little bag on the bed. “Did your father help you with all of this? I mean, seriously, Patrick, did your dad have a hand in all of this?”

Pulling Robin into him, Patrick looked into her eyes. “Baby, this is all me,” he whispered huskily in her ear. “I told you that I was going to make your New Year one that would never be forgotten.” Letting his tongue trail her lips, he instructed her to put on her bikini and meet him at the Jacuzzi.

Robin felt her heart lurch, knowing that tonight was much more than she was expecting. She worried that she would do something to make the night less romantic, however, when she saw Patrick slip into the Jacuzzi, she knew that her fears were merely that; fears.

Slowly slipping into the water she slid next to him. “Hey,” she said, letting her fingers, trail down his chest. She definitely was feeling something tonight, and all she wanted to do was unleash them without any regrets. Robin wanted Patrick to know just how into him she was.

As if to read her mind, Patrick whispered in her ear, “Do what comes naturally, Robin. Don’t hold back, and I promise you, I’ll make it well worth your while.” Once their eyes locked, he knew right then that she wanted him as bad as he wanted her. On cue, Patrick leaned forward, seizing Robin’s lips, tasting her sweetness. With his other hand, he pulled the top of her suit down, pressing himself into her.

Without hesitation, Robin pulled him closer to her, feeling him grow stiff from his excitement. “Oh Patrick. I need you, now,” she said, hungrily kissing him.

No longer able to deny his desire, he complied, immediately giving into her, feeling every inch of her. “Robin Scorpio, I want you so bad….tell me you want me to too, tell me,” he groaned as he continued to please her.

“I want you, you know I do…” she said, loving every moment of their passion. Whispering in his ear, Robin felt him gently pulling away. Taking his hand, she stepped out of the Jacuzzi, wrapping herself in a towel. She smiled when he followed suit.

Scooping her up, he laid her on the bed, pulling the towel from her, savoring every inch of her body. “Happy New Year, he said, sliding into the silk sheets.
“Happy New Year,” Robin whispered back. Patrick reaches into his drawer and pulls out a box of Trojan Ultra Thin Condoms. Turning the lights off, the two of them relished in a private celebration all their own.
