I just hope being in Genoa City doesn’t send you running for the seven seas.

  Well technically there are about 130 seas, but there’s only one blue-eyed beauty in my future, and I’m looking at her.

Tricky + colors

[fyeahtricky]

I’m here because I made a mistake. I never should have let you walk off my boat. I want more than the fantasy, Victoria. I want you.

[fyeahtricky]

As for last night, I’ll treasure the memory. Because for just a few hours, I got to have the fantasy of having you back.

     I’ll cherish it too.

I have no right to ask you this-

     Ask me.

Let’s not ruin the fantasy. You’re going to go your way, and I’m going to go mine. Let’s just leave it all unsaid. No sad goodbyes.

[fyeahtricky]

You’re right, I have been running away. Sailing around the world, soaking up the sun. But at night, man you should see it out here at night. The sky’s so big and full of stars. You lose yourself in it. And I do, for awhile anyway. Then reality comes creeping back in, and my head just gets filled up...

           Filled with what?

You. Your eyes. Your lips. The way your hair brushes across my skin. You know, I dream about you. All the time, I can’t win. Awake or asleep, you’re always in my thoughts, Victoria. You are my thoughts. This whole trip was meant to be a way to escape, to forget about you, but I can’t. Every amazing sight I see, every new flavor I taste, I just...I want to share it with you. This trip just feels empty without you. I just miss you so much, you have no idea.

          Maybe I do.

[fyeahtricky]

That was goodbye. I love you, Tori-turned-Victoria. A part of me always will. But I can’t stay here while this place eats you alive.

        It won’t. I’m strong. I know how to fight.

I know you are, but some battles just can’t be won. That’s why I was so desperate to get you to come away with me.

[fyeahtricky]

I guess I am my father’s daughter after all.

   No you’re not.

How do you know?

   Because you wouldn’t be here. It wouldn’t bother you. And because I know you.

[fyeahtricky]

So I came here because I needed to see you. I’m sorry about Billy. I’m not really sure what he was thinking. Actually, that’s not true. I know why he got in your face the way that he did. Because he can’t stand that I’m falling in love again.

[fyeahtricky]

It would mean I played you every step of the way. That everything we had was nothing. Every look. Every kiss. Do you really think I could fake all that? Forget what Luca put in your head, and think about what you know is real. Victoria, look at me. It wasn’t me.

[fyeahtricky]

How can anyone wake up this beautiful?

        Stop flirting with me.

Then you stop looking like that.

[fyeahtricky]

[fyeahtricky]

Can we move forward? I don’t know, that’s an interesting question.

        Okay look, I know we’re coming from two different places, and we don’t always agree, but I really like how you challenge me. I like it a lot, actually. I don’t know where this is going to lead, but I really really want to find out.

[fyeahtricky]

They don’t even have a jukebox or a sticky, booze soaked floor. They just have a pool and an amazing view.

        The view is excellent, you’re right about that.

Are you flirting with me?

        I’m just stating the facts. And my floor is not sticky, I mop it every night.

[fyeahtricky]

I know how you like your drinks. I know what songs to never switch out of the jukebox. I know how your face lights up when you talk about your kids. There’s something about you. Something that struck me when you walked in the door. Something I want to explore. So Victoria Newman, CEO of Newman Enterprises and mother of three, will you go steady with me?

    Travis Crawford, former wolf of Wall Street and bartender extraordinaire, yeah, let’s do it.

[fyeahtricky]

We didn’t finish our dance.

    I know, we will but I just need to talk my little brother down. But we’ll finish the dance.

I’m going to hold you to it.

    Okay, please do!

[fyeahtricky]

You really think we can just go back to the way things were?

       No, I don't want to. I mean, I'm not Tori, but I'm still the same woman who danced with you. And laughed with you. And slept with you.

Same woman who needs an escape? Which is really all I am, right?

       Well in the beginning, yes but do you know what? For the first time in a long time I feel really safe. I feel like I can trust you. I know you're not going to lie to me or hurt me.

[fyeahtricky]

I'm successful, but I work really hard. And yes I had certain privileges growing up, but there's more to me. Much more.

       Which you kept to yourself. You couldn't be honest about it with a guy like me.
