This is a Jake/Elizabeth story to start I have not decided once I reveal that Jake is Jason if I will send him Sam's way or not. In my story there will be some deviations from history but I am using these deviations to make Jake recognizable to Elizabeth as well as a bit of a setting difference.

I don't own the Characters at all I'm borrowing them

Setting: 4-8-15 a bit before Nikolas and Hayden talk after having sex but in my version they are in the bed going at it and Elizabeth is not meeting up with Ric she is at home.

Jake had wrapped things up at the garage earlier then he had told Hayden he planned to be back at the hotel. He used his key card and entered their room to find that Hayden was in bed with a man he had not seen before. They were so wrapped up in each other that they did not hear the door open nor did they notice him in the door way. So he snuck into the closet to watch what was going on and to see if they would say anything that would be useful to him since he was not feeling anything for Hayden at all. As he was watching them have sex on a bed that she had propositioned him on just the night before should have made him sick but it did not. He was beginning to wonder what was wrong with him since this was supposed to be his wife and she was sleeping with another man and this did not bother him one bit. Well truth be told he wished in his heart and mind that he also was sleeping with someone else. As these thought crossed his mind he heard the man begin to speak so he pulled his cell out and began recording.

"So if it is not Helena that is banking your scam who is?"

"I will admit to the scam only to you as to whom has been paying me I will not admit to nor will I let you see this person or their drop person. Unless you make it this good the next time. I'm sure you're a better lover then my not so husband Jake."

"I would not be so sure he made many women's mouth water to be with him in a sensual way. Elizabeth was one of them against my own brother."

The man got out of the bed and got dressed Jake was still videoing in case they said anything else that would help him figure out who he was. According to this man if he could trust this man Elizabeth knew him before but he was not recognizable to her now. He wondered if she would recognized his tattoo he would have to see. At this time the man in question left the hotel room leaving Hayden on the bed so Jake turned off the recording. He was debating coming out of the closet and confronting her as to what she had admitted to that man that had just bedded her. But before he could make a decision one way or another there was a knock on the door and Hayden got out of the bed wearing nothing and opened the door. Jake was mortified he did not know what kind of person this Hayden was but he knew that he could not nor would not be with her in sexual way ever. He turned the video recorder back on in case this was another lover so he would have proof of why he wanted to not be involved with her any longer. What surprised Jake the most was in to the room walked Ric saying

"What were you thinking answering the door nude people will talk if anyone saw you? I want to get Elizabeth back not be accused of giving women sex. That's why you're here to make sure that Jake is not available for her to be with so she will come back to me. That's why im paying you all this money."

"I was hoping you were my escort or Jake. And I know why I'm here but I am still a woman and women have needs."

"Well I'm not so where is Jake?"

"He's at work. And I am horny beyond belief I mean he has a good body and to lay next to him at night I wanted to be with him I asked him to be with me last night and he refused. I still have needs maybe you can scratch that itch for me."

Jake could not believe this the whole story that he was married was brought about by Ric wanting Elizabeth so badly to take him back that he had paid a woman to pretend to be his wife.

"Might not be a bad idea I have not heard back from Elizabeth that she will take me back and I need my itches scratched too."

Ric leaned over and kissed her and then he said "come on I could use a shower" so off they went to the shower.

Jake snuck out of the closet and out of room once the door was closed behind him he slipped off the wedding ring that Hayden had put on him the day he had last kissed Elizabeth put it in his pocket for safe keeping and headed to the one place that he had always felt at home to the only person that made him feel like things were right.

Reaching Elizabeth's home made him think and remember that last time that he was here and how kissing her and telling her that he wanted her had made him feel. Then Hayden had showed up and blown up all his plans for Elizabeth and himself. He went to ring the doorbell and waited for her to come to the door.

When Elizabeth heard her doorbell she was take back to the day that she and Jake had almost made it up her stairs to be a full couple she had wanted to be with him since she had seen his chest when he was putting on a shirt. She could not help the fresh tears that followed the path of the ones that she had shed this morning as she went and answered the door to Jake. She did not have a chance to ask him why he was there before he was kissing her one hand in her hair and one around her waist moving them back into her home.
