Courtney looked into Nikolas' eyes. "Nikolas, I...You're..." She couldn't even form a complete thought she tried but she just couldn't. Her heart and mind were racing at what seemed like a thousand miles a minute. Nikolas backed away but still held Courtney in his arms. He was speechless as well but nothing stopped them from kissing again, atleast that was until Lorenzo came along. Although against their will they broke away from each other almost immediately.
"Nikolas...Courtney...Funny I should find the two of you here...Together..." If he had seen anything he wasn't letting on that was for sure. "Well it is a public place Alcazar." Courtney pointed out rather coldly. "You're absolutely right. I'll just leave the two of you alone I apologize for any disruption on my part have a good evening Mr.Cassadine...Mrs.Jacks." Courtney inwardly flinched at the mention of her married name atleast at that moment because she was furious with Jax always treating her like glass fearing she would break at any moment.
Once Alcazar left Courtney and Nikolas locked eyes once again. "Not now Nikolas...at-atleast not here...please?" she said as she turned away from him. "You're right it's too risky." he put his hand on her shoulder. "No one ever has to know." He assure her trying to calm any doubts or fears she may have had. Each of them stared in awkward silence before going home to their spouses. Courtney walked into the home she shared with her husband Jasper Jacks only to find him yet again with Liz Webber. The woman who was carrying their baby because she could not.
"Hi Hunney...we were just going over ideas for the nursery." Courtney tried to hide her anger. She couldn't carry the baby so she had to make due with decorating the nursery but now even that was being stripped away from her as well. "Courtney?" Jax asked. He could see something was bothering her. "No...Jax, you-you know what...Have fun!" She went to the nursery and slammed the door leaning against it to cry. Elizabeth Webber seemed to be taking over her life bit by bit piece by piece and there was not a thing she could do about it. "Courtney open up!" Jax demanded. "Go away!" she shot back angrily. "Courtney-" "No! You know what! Just save it because I'm not intrested right now Jax!" She grabbed her cell phone and coincedently it began to ring.
She looked at the called and was a little surprised to see the name on the Caller ID. Nikolas Cassadine..."He-Hello?" she asked through muffled tears and sobs. "Courtney? What's wrong? It's Nikolas. I have to see you.." "I'll meet you on the roof of the hospital in 15 minutes.I'll explain what's wrong when I get there." She didn't even give him a chance to explain before quickly hanging up. She flung open the nursery door to find Liz and Jax on the other side. Jax looked at her not to happy "We need to talk..." "Not Now we don't..." She said coldly as she left slamming the door and going on her way. When she got to the roof to meet Nikolas her eyes were puffy and red. He took one look at her and then took her into his arms.
"I'm being excluded from anything that has to do with the baby...Jax looks at Liz the way he looked at me when we were in love...he's attracted to her Nikolas..." She couldn't help but cry into his arms. "Woah, Woah, Woah, You're getting yourself all worked up for nothing..." he tried to assure her because he hated seeing her this upset. "He'll end up leaving me you watch...Here I am whining to you about my problems being totally inconsiderate of you...How's Emily?" He smirked. "Emily...Emily's still working right now she refuses to take off. she works over time and I know from Monica that she has twice the hours she needs for her schooling...I think she works to get away from me.."
Courtney looked up at him. "Maybe it's just...just stress or something..." "Maybe it's just me..." he said as he looked away from her. She walked up behind him and put her hand on his arm. "You can't think that way Nikolas...You're a great guy...a wonderful man...anyone would be lucky to have you in their life..." She inhaled and exhaled deeply. "Maybe our spouses are attracted to other people." she said coming to the painful realization that that could very well be true. However what Came out of Nikolas' mouth next shocked the both of them equally. It wasn't something they were expecting. "Maybe we're attracted to each other."
"I-I-I-Nikolas...Are...Are you sure? Did you just hear what came out of your mouth?" she asked almost in shock. "Yeah-Yeah I did...And what if It's the truth? Courtney I like you maybe more then I should...Maybe I should just go..." he said as he headed towards the door but her voice stopped him in his tracks. "Maybe I like you more then I should as well..." She admitted nervously. She walked past him and opened the door to leave. "Finally" she thought to herself "That door was fixed because If I had gotten stuck on that roof with him one more time..."
