Courtney let out a loud sigh and buried her face in her hands once Carly had left. Carly just didn't understand. She did love Jason, with all her heart but he had made up his mind. He was going to marry Sam, to be with her and their baby. There was nothing she could do…well nothing that she had the right to do. All he would tell her is that they couldn't be and he had a responsibility. She knew he loved her too but he kept letting her go. He never fought for her. She would be damned if she ever saw Jason Morgan chasing after her.
Courtney lifted her head and opened her drawer to get her keys. She gasped softly as she saw that her wedding ring was next to her keys. She knew that it wasn't a sign, just Carly trying to play with her mind but could she really ignore it? He was her husband…ex husband…that didn't really matter. The ring was a symbol of their love. Jason might be willing to throw that all away but she didn't think that she had been.
She stood up abruptly, clutching the ring in one hand. "Watch out Sam, you've got competition." She warned to the empty room.
Courtney picked up her office phone and arranged for someone to go get her a dress while she got ready. She had a little makeup in her purse but she didn't need that much anyway, she always liked the natural look better and she knew Jason did too. She went into the bathroom and applied a touch of mascara and blush. She coated her lips with a sheer gloss. She grabbed her brush out of her purse and started working on her hair. She did it up the way that Jason loved it the best. She looked into the mirror and smiled at her reflection.
"Courtney?" A voice asked hesitantly.
She walked back into her office and smiled. "Thank you," She said warmly as she accepted the bag that held her dress from the man. She handed him a wad of cash for retrieving it on such short notice.
Once he had left, she walked back into the bathroom and unzipped the bag. She gasped at the dress. It was a light blue, the colour of the suit she was wearing now. She pulled it completely out of the bag and admired it for a second. She quickly slipped it on then looked into the mirror once again. The dress was sleeveless and showed just a hint of cleavage, leaving the rest up to the imagination. It fitted her slim body and all of her curves perfectly. It rested around her ankles. "Damnit, I forgot shoes."
She ran out of the bathroom to see the man standing there again. "If you don't mind me saying so, you look beautiful."
She blushed slightly. "Thank you but I won't be going anywhere if I don't have proper shoes."
"I thought you might be needing these." He said, revealing a pair of stilettos.
"Thank you so much!" She gushed as she hurriedly put them on. She stood up and they fit perfectly. They also matched with her dress.
"Thank you!" She thanked him again as she rushed out the door.
