Okay, I know I should finish my other story first, but this popped in my head and unless I wrote it I could not fall asleep tonight! LOL.

Chapter 1

This takes place right after Jason finds and saves Sam from Franco's clutches.

Jason knocked the door to the Warehouse rented under the name: , hoping that the woman he loved was behind it. With his gun raised Jason looked up and saw Sam, by the looks un-harmed. Sam was screaming but Jason could hear nothing, after studying the structure he motioned for her to move aside and shot at the plexus-glass hoping it would shatter. BANG! Jason shot up in bed awakening his beautiful angel next to him.

"Jason, are you okay?" Sam asked softly

"Yeah, just another dream." He groaned and laid his head back on the pillow.

Sam sat up and looked at him, "Jason, I am fine. You saved me and Franco did not hurt me. Stop worrying and just be with me in the moment. What happened happened."

Jason grabbed her hand "If I got to your apartment earlier none of this would have happened. But I was too caught up in Franco to realize he may put you in danger. I cannot let this happen again. And the worst part is that he is still out there with information on Michael."

"Jason, stop beating yourself up, do not let Franco consume your life again. I do not blame you, I should have been more aware. Just let it go, at least for the rest of the night. Be with me"

"I'm sorry; you are right, I need to try and let this go."

"Thank you" Sam said as she laid a soft kiss on his neck "Will you hold me tonight?"

"Of coarse, come here." Jason pulled Sam in close, lying in chin on top of her head

"This is nice. I love you"

"I love you too" and with that said they fell back asleep

Morning

Sam woke up before, which was surprising even to her. As much as she didn't want to admit, Sam was scared. She knew Franco was gone, but going back to her apartment was a step she was not ready for. She stayed with Jason for the past three nights but got back to her normal routine during the day. Being back at the Penthouse was familiar, she liked it but it was too fast. Alexis and Sam talked about moving to the lake until she was comfortable going back to the Penthouse, she knew Jason did not mind having her there, but he knew she needed space.

Jason woke up and turned to his side, opening his eyes to emptiness. Sam was gone; maybe she went for a run or to get breakfast--please let it be the second after last night I am starving. Jason sauntered downstairs to see her sitting on the couch with coffee in hand watching the weather.

"Good morning, get some coffee while it is still hot" Sam said

"You are up early, is everything okay?" Jason said as he walked into the Kitchen—although Sam could not cook, she made a good cup of coffee.

"Yeah, fine. Why do you ask?"

"Well Sam, I have known you for a long time, and you my dear are not a morning person. Are you worried about over-staying your welcome? Cause like I said, you can stay as long as you need, I do not mind you being here"

"Well yeah sort of along those lines. Thank you for letting me stay here, but I have talked to my mom, and she said my room is still available and plus she could use help with Molly since Viola is out of town."

"That's fine. I mean I knew you would want to go sometime soon" he said

Sam got up, put her coffee down and walked toward Jason "Hey, I love being with you but eventually I need to get back to my place, this is a step towards being on my own again. Don't give me that look, Alexis and I are better and I swear she will make me want to move back to my place and it doesn't mean I will stop visiting—I like being with you"

"I know, and you are doing what you feel is right—I cannot judge." He said with understanding

"Thank you, I better get ready—I actually have clients at McCall and Jackal P.I."

"That's great; I know you were worried about that. And wait you owe me something"

Sam knew what he meant and leaned in and kissed him.

"Okay, we need to stop; I will have clients waiting if you keep doing this"

"Do what?" he said playfully

"Ha, you know, now let go"

Jason and Sam both got ready for work and parted ways for the day.

So, what do you think?????
