Carly lay in bed watching Jason sleep. She had watched him all night. Last night had been the most amazing night. All her dreams had come true. Jason and her had made love for the first time in ages. It happened even better than she could have imagined. She had been hurting from her break up with Jax. Two weeks ago she had demanded Jax make a choice between her and Brenda and to her shock and dismay he chose Brenda. He chose that bubble headed model over her. It had hurt. She had spent several nights crying on Jason's shoulder but she was getting over it. She had her boys, the hotel and of course her best friend, Jason. She had poured herself into her work. It was hard since Jax refused to sell his half, but she managed to be professional and keep her composure. She managed not to let the hurt show and not to lash out in revenge. She was better than that. She was so caught up in her own turmoil she did not even notice Jason was going through problems of his own. She didn't realize until he had shown up on her doorstep last night.
"Hey' He said when she opened the door. He looked like a man with the world on his shoulders. Carly noticed.
"Hey, yourself. What's wrong?" She asked.
"Nothing" He paused, "Everything."
Carly moved out of Jason's way so he could come in out of the cold. She closed the door behind him and motioned him into the living room. She didn't say a word. She was waiting for Jason to tell her what brought him to her doorstep at this hour of the night. "Sam's lost her mind." Jason said as he paced the floor. Carly looked puzzled. Sam has always been out of her mind, the part that was amazing was no one but her seemed to notice. "Jase, stop pacing. Sit down and tell me what happened." She sat on the love seat and patted next to her for Jason to site. He immediately complied and continued with the story. "Sam says I'm obsessed with…" He paused. "with you. She says ever since you and Jax split all I do is talk about you and making sure you are okay. All I do is spend my free time with you and that I'm neglecting her. I tried to explain I've been being a concerned friend, but she sees it differently. She said it's always been you and she is sick and tired of playing second fiddle." Carly tried to look concerned but it was hard Sam was her least favorite person and she definitely did not like her with Jason. So it was hard to be unbias when it came to their relationship. She respected the fact that Jason wanted to be with the little tramp and tried to avoid her at all cost. It seemed to be working. At least she thought it had. She had no idea her friendship with Jason was causing this type of friction in his relationship. Jason continued. "She told me to choose. Choose between you and her. Can you believe that?" Carly wanted to nod profusely as she could believe Sam would be naïve enough to think Jason would choose her. But instead she just placed a hand on his leg. She was going to be the bigger person here. "Jase, I'm sorry. I guess I leaned on you a little too much after my breakup with Jax. I didn't mean to… that's when it happened. That's when he reached across and pulled her into the most passionate, seductive kiss she had ever experienced. Her body sizzled as he kissed her and then his hand ran up the inside of the back of her shirt and her body went a blaze. Everything after that happened so quickly yet she could remember every touch, every kiss every inch of him inside of her. Now she laid in the bed next to him watching him sleep wondering what the hell happened and just what did it all mean?
Jason laid pretending to be sleep. She had been watching him for several hours and he didn't know what to do. Last night had been. Well it had been everything he had ever thought it would be and more. He had no idea what had come over him. Sleeping with Carly was not his intention for coming over. He needed someone to talk to and as usual that someone was her, but this time there was something different. Maybe Sam's words were resonating with him. "You've always loved her more than me or any other woman. It will always be her. You just won't admit it to yourself." Maybe she was right, but the moment Carly went to apologize for needing him he felt something snap inside. He felt a deep hunger for her build up and he wasn't going to deny it. Not this time. He was going to feed it and he had. He had kissed and caressed her in every way possible. He made love to her so passionately he was trying to make up for all the years he had deprived himself of her. Her body fit perfectly with his. They were magic together and the world stood still for a few hours. Now he was trying to figure out where this put them now. Damn, he knew Carly and she would want them to be together and he wasn't sure if he and Carly could make a go of it. He knew her too well and he was afraid they would crash and burn and then where would that leave them, but on the other hand he after last night he could deny his feelings for her anymore. He couldn't just be her friend.
