Twisted Universe
Part 1
Luke's
"Hey Jase, damn man, it's good to see you."
Jason laughed at his younger brother's enthusiasm, "Just got into town. Where's the old man?"
"Ah, he's in the kitchen mixing up some deadly concoction... probably some chili cheese fries or something." Lucky laughed, "Hey, Em. This is my older brother Jason- Jase, this is my girl, Emily Quartermaine."
"Well, well, well- if isn't Lucky's hero live and in the flesh. I was beginning to think you were completely made up or something." Emily offered her hand with a smile.
Smiling Jason shook her hand, "Quartermaine? Didn't I graduate around the same time as your older brother, T.J. or something like that?"
Emily rolled her eyes, "Yeah, A.J., I guess you did. Caro-my sister was three years younger so, yeah."
Lucky pulled Emily into a hug, "It's gonna be alright, Em."
Scratching his face in confusion Jason asked, "Sorry, mom didn't mention anything to me. Did she- uh, pass away recently?"
Emily smiled a tight smile, "Something like that. Hey, Lucky I'm gonna play some music."
"Damn man, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset her." Jason sighed putting a hand on Lucky's shoulder.
"It's ok. You didn't know. She's just been through some fucked up shit the last six months with her family." Lucky picked at the label of his beer bottle, and looked up at his brother with a smile, "Dad's gonna want to break out the tequila when he sees you."
Carly sat on the bench staring at the harbor. It was nights like tonight that gave her some sense of peace. Lord knows she hadn't had much peace the last six months.
Nope, not even close to it. Her whole world had been turned upside down and inside out- Caroline Quartermaine had died and Carly Morgan had been born.
Staring up at the stars, she wondered for the millionth time why she had survived the crash- what was the point when she didn't remember the last twenty and a half years? Dr. Jones had told them that she was brain damaged- unable to have a normal life or experience real emotions. Well, she already proved that wrong cause she sure hated him and her family pissed her off more often than not.
That's why she had taken off. After hearing Monica and Alan, the people who told her they were her parents, talking about sending her off to some institute, she had packed a bag, said goodbye to Lila and got the hell out of that place. Emily said it was a mansion, but to her it sounded more like that place they had threatened A.J. with if he didn't go to rehab- prison.
"You know, it's not safe to be out here alone this late."
Turning, Carly's eyes widened at the sight of the most beautiful man she had ever seen, or at least remembered seeing, she thought to herself.
Staring at him intently she replied without hesitation, "I'm not alone, you're here."
Jason bit back a laugh. He knew that this blonde was familiar, but he couldn't quite place her.
"Have we met?" He asked curiously.
"You tell me. My memory isn't all that great ," She replied looking back out toward the harbor.
Squinting his eyes in confusion, Jason tried to remember the last time a woman had blown him off. It didn't happen too often and that she hadn't even looked at him twice brought out the hunting instinct in him.
"It's a nice night. Nice and quiet." Jason said as he sat beside her.
Glancing at him out of the corner of her eye she smirked, "It was."
"Oh, sorry. Am I disturbing you?" He asked with a laugh.
"It's public property. You can do want you want." She replied standing up.
Jason watched as she began to walk away and then stopped, looking at him over her shoulder.
With a slight smile she called back to him, "You should go home. Someone told me it's not safe to be out here alone this late."
That did it. Jason laughed as she walked away. He was definitely interested. Standing up he yelled, "You gotta name?"
Carly didn't even look back as she yelled, "Yep. Doesn't everyone?"
"Am I going to see you around?" He chuckled despite his frustration.
Shaking her head Carly smiled at his persistence, turning she waved at him slightly, "Probably."
"Wow." Jason thought to himself as he headed back to his brother's apartment.
Carly smiled as she walked back to her room above Jake's, "Wow."
Two days later...
Jason walked into Jake's with a smile, damn it was good to be back. He was supposed to meet up with Johnny later and had decided to stop by for a beer at his old hangout.
"Hey Jake, you're looking good." He flirted as he sat up at the bar.
"Holy shit! Jason Spencer, I haven't seen you around here in quite some time. How the hell are ya?" Jake laughed as she slid a beer over to him.
"Not too bad. Just got into town and thought I'd stop by." He smiled drinking his beer as he slipped a twenty in her tip jar.
Jake laughed, "The town's been pretty dull since you took off- I bet the boys are already planning ways to get into trouble. You don't be a stranger." She smiled as she turned to take care of her other customers.
Narrowing his eyes, Jason looked around the smoky bar. Some things never changed and Jake's was one of them.
Raising his bottle to his lips he froze as his eyes landed on a familiar face. So... his mystery girl liked to play pool. That was interesting.
Watching her make a couple shots he smiled as she lifted her face and their eyes met. Without breaking eye contact, she took her shot and made it. Jason was definitely impressed. There was just something about this girl.
His eyes narrowed again as some guy walked over to her.
"You wanna dance, sweetheart?" He asked with a leer, looking her over.
Carly stared back at him blankly and replied with a firm, "No."
"Aw, come on. Just one dance." The guy reached for her hand.
"Hey. Sorry I'm late. You know this guy?"
Surprised that the stranger from the other night was stepping in, Carly frowned, "No. He was just leaving."
"Sorry, man, didn't know she was with someone," The guy apologized quickly and walked away.
"You scare everybody like that?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
"Nah, I'm a nice guy." He answered smoothly.
Carly snorted, "Sure."
"So, this a private game?" He asked sliding out of his jacket.
"It's your time and your quarter." She pulled out the rack and started to arrange the balls.
"You wanna break." He asked grabbing a pool cue.
Narrowing her eyes, she replied, "You think I need an advantage cause I'm a girl?"
Jason held up his hand in surrender, "Just wondering."
Rolling her eyes, Carly smiled a small smile, "I'll break. You buy the next round."
"Fair enough," Jason smiled heading back over to the bar.
After finishing the third game Jason set down his pool stick, "You wanna dance?"
Carly looked from him to the dance floor and back, "Ok."
As they stepped onto the dance floor, Carly slid her hands over Jason's shoulders, loosely wrapping them around his neck.
Jason smiled at her hesitancy and pulled her closer to him, locking his hands tightly around her waist.
Letting out a deep breath, she relaxed and took her cues from Jason. Pressing her body next to his, she let herself get lost in the music.
A bolt of lust shot through him, Jason could feel every luscious curve of her body against his and it was making him crazy. Cursing he remembered that he had been supposed to meet Johnny an hour ago.
Reluctantly pulling back, he tucked a curl behind her ear and pressed his forehead to hers, "I gotta go- can I see you again?"
Carly played with the hair at the base of his neck, "Ok."
"You don't talk a lot do you?" He asked with a laugh.
Smirking Carly replied, "Is that a bad thing?"
Pressing a soft kiss to her lips, Jason pulled away, "Not at all. So I'll see you?"
Nodding Carly stepped back, "I'm sure you will."
Jason smiled as he turned to walk away, "Tomorrow night?"
Carly chuckled reluctantly, "Maybe."
She didn't know what the feeling she had inside was, but one thing was for sure- she liked it. A lot.
