"Why
did you need to see me Ric?" Elizabeth Webber, soon to be
Morgan, asked.
"Do you know where Jason is?" Ric asked
sitting down at the interrogation room table. Elizabeth put a hand
protectively on her six-month pregnant stomach and sat down across
from him.
"He had to work a bit late tonight for Sonny. He's
been doing that a lot lately. He works so hard." She answered
smiling proudly.
"Hmm." Ric said non-comittingly,
"Well, anyway, I think there is something you need you need to
see." He said briskly, flicking on a small t.v. "We thought
there was some illegal stuff going on with Samantha McCall so we out
her room at Kelly's under surveillance."
"Ok."
Elizabeth said slowly, not quite following.
"Watch,"
Ric requested, gesturing to the t.v. "This is live by the way."
Elizabeth turned her gaze to the screen. Sam was lying on her stomach
across her bad at Kelly's with her jean clad legs in the air and was
bopping her head to some music in her iPod.
"What am I
looking at?" Elizabeth asked.
"Just keep watching."
Ric instructed. Elizabeth continued to look at the screen. Then she
gasped. Jason came into view and lay on top of Sam's back.
"Hi,"
Sam smiled turning her head to the right, trying to look at him.
"Hi." He replied kissing the back of her neck softly.
Three weeks ago had been their 'final' night together before he was
supposed to get married to Liz on the fourth of March. It was the
second of February the first time that they had had their final night
together. He and Liz were getting married in a week and a half, and
this was his and Sam's sixth final time. He loved Sam and every time
he tired not to see her, they ran into each other. Finally they just
didn't care anymore. They slept together that first time and found
that no matter how hard they tried they couldn't resist each other.
They didn't want to hurt anybody, but they were in love. Jason just
kept praying that he could eventually fall in love with Elizabeth,
and that if he tried hard enough, he could get Sam out of his system.
Ha, yeah. That wasn't likely going to happen. She was like freaking
Pringles. Just one wasn't enough, though in her case, just one TIME
was not enough. However, both her and Sam agreed once he was married,
no more. No matter what, they would stay apart. They had to. Sam had
even offered to move, but Jason had flat out refused to let her,
pointing out that Port Charles was her home now too.
"Hey,"
Sam said turning over onto her back underneath him, "I love
you." He captured her lips in his own and positioned himself so
he didn't crush her petite frame. He pulled away and looked into her
mocha eyes, "I love you too."
Elizabeth felt
like she couldn't breathe as she watched them kissing on the bed. How
long had this been going on? She watched as Jason slowly kissed down
Sam's body, stopping every now and then to leave a distinct mark in a
discreet place. It was like watching a car crash; she couldn't force
herself to look away.
"Elizabeth." Ric said going to
turn off the television. She held up a hand to stop him, "I need
to see this." She said quietly.
Sam gasped as
Jason's tongue flicked her belly button He peered up at he with
intense blue eyes that were glazed with a mixture of amusement and
desire.
"Where do you want me to leave a mark?" he asked. She
thought for a moment, before putting pointing to her heart. He smiled
and crawled up and laid down next to her on his side. She turned
towards him and sighed as he dipped his head to where her heart was
beating erratically. She played with the hair at the nape of his neck
as his hot tongue drew intricate designs on her soft skin. She closed
her eyes and savored the feeling of him, for she wouldn't be able
to have it for much longer. At that thought she arched her back,
desperate to be closer to him. He stopped sucking on her skin and
admired his handy work. Slowly, she brought his lips back to hers in
a bittersweet kiss. He pulled back when he felt her hot tears on his
cheek.
"What's wrong?" he asked tucking a piece of her dark
hair behind her hair.
"I love you." She whispered, "I don't
want to lose you." He leaned back and stared down at her, as if
memorizing her face.
"I will always love you." He reassured,
"Just because we can't be together anymore doesn't mean I won't
protect you. I will always be here when you need me. No matter
what."
"Promise?" she asked unconsciously pouting.
"I
promise." He said kissing her softly again. Deepening the kiss, Sam
rolled so that she was straddling Jason.
That was the last
thing Elizabeth would allow herself to see. She slammed open the door
of the penthouse in a fit of rage. That WHORE! How dare she? A
million obscenities rushed through her head in a ten second time
frame.
"What's wrong princess?" a voice asked from the
couch. Elizabeth turned to see Carly sitting quite comfortably, as if
she lived there. And she was leering at her.
"Get out!"
Elizabeth snapped, throwing her bag onto Jason's desk.
"What's
wrong? Miss your 'Liz is a saint' quota for the month?"
"Get
out." Elizabeth yelled.
"No!" Carly said just as loudly,
standing up, "I'm here to see Jason, who happens to live here,
and pay for this place. You don't get to give me orders you lying
two faced bitch."
"Well, he's not here, as you can see, now
get out!" Elizabeth demanded angrily. Carly flopped back onto the
couch. "No." she said breezily. "I'm going to stay as long as
I like and do whatever I like, and if you have a problem with that,
then that's just too damn bad."
"Carly! I'm warning you…"
she was cut off as the door to the penthouse opened.
"What's
going on here?" Jason asked, throwing down his keys. Elizabeth
turned to him and her fury flared.
"I just wanted to know if
you've seen Sam." Carly asked, standing and turning off the
television, "I've been trying to call her for the last two hours
and I've gotten no answer."
"Try her again. I just left her
on the pier."
"Ok, thanks. Are the six of us still on for
Kelly's in about an hour?" she asked.
"I thought it was just
five of us." Jason said looking at her sharply.
"Yes, well.
Sam is bringing Lucky."
"What?" Elizabeth and Jason asked at
the same time.
"Oh, relax. It's not like a date. There will be
six of us. In pajamas. At Kelly's. Not exactly dinner in Paris."
Carly said with a wave of her hand. "Besides. Sam would have been a
fifth wheel if she hadn't invited Lucky." She hugged Jason and
ignored Elizabeth.
"See you in an hour." She said leaving. As
soon as the door closed, Elizabeth turned on Jason. "Where were
you?" she asked, hands on her hips.
"Working." He answered
not looking at her, but rummaging through a drawer at his desk.
"Was
it good?" she asked tapping her foot.
"What?" he asked
looking up in surprise and guilt.
"Work. Was it good?" she
repeated.
"It was fine. Why?" he asked.
"No reason. So,
it was just fine? Not great? Not…fantastic?"
"Are you
ok?"
"Oh, I'm fine…just like your work. Just fine. I'm
going to go change." She said heading up the stairs.
"Ok."
He said sitting in the chair at his desk. He sighed when she
disappeared around the corner, and leaned back. Taking a glance at
the staircase to make sure she wasn't there he opened another
drawer and pulled out a picture of him and Sam.
Elizabeth watched as Jason took out the picture and stared at it, lost in his memories of….her. Bitch. She's take care of her when the time came.
