Chapter 2

Jason and Michael arrived at the resort about noon. They went to get settled in then he was off to find somewhere they could eat.

Elizabeth started to wipe the table down. She was getting ready for the lunch rush. She had to work a double shift today because a waitress called in sick. She loved working at Anita Sandcastle Diner. The older women who owned the diner had let her rent the studio apartment upstairs. It was a great arrangement for both of them. Anita lived 45 minutes away. So Elizabeth would come down every morning to get everything started for the day. If Anita was stuck on closing Elizabeth would come down and close for her. This way the older women wasn't driving home so late. The lunch rush was quick and fast. She hated this time of day. From 2 to 4 it was slow. This is the time she took to fill up on all the supplies and get ready for the dinner rush. As she was getting ready she started to think about her life.

(Flash back) She still can remember coming home from school on her 15th birthday, she knew her family won't remember, they never did. But she would love to see what her Grandmother from Port Charles would send her. The year before it was sketch book, pencil and chalk. She loved it. As she walk in the door she notice everything was packed. At the door was her suitcases. She called out to her mother who came out with more suitcases.

" Good your home. Your sister Sara already left for Port Charles. She will be living with her grandmother. Those bags at the door are yours. I am sorry but the house has been rented out and you will need to find something in town. Here is some money to get you started. Your father and I will be leaving in hour to go to the airport. We are leaving for Europe and working for Doctors without boards."

Elizabeth stood their with her mouth open. She was shocked she couldn't believe her parents where leaving and they sent Sara to live with Grams. She finally shook her head so she could finally speak.

"When did this happen? How come I didn't go with Sara ? How could you just leave me?"

"Well I though your father talked to you about this. We found out about 2 weeks ago. Grandmother can't take you both and since Sara is older and she is going to become a doctor it was only natural to send her. We thought it would be better for you to stay here and finish school. Here is the paper work you need. It states that you are legally to take care of yourself. This way we don't get into trouble for leaving you."

She couldn't believe it her parents just gave her up just like that. She knew that she was a mistake but to be tossed out told they don't have to care for you anymore hurt. As she stood their she herd her father come in with the mail in his hand.

"Jeff I thought you where going to talk to Lizzie and tell her about being on her own."

"I haven't had time. I took care of all the mail, the keys to the house. Everything is set are you ready to go ? The cab will be here soon. Lizzie do you need a ride into town?"

"I can't believe that you are just going to leave me here. What about Steve ? Can't I stay with him ?"

"No he is at college until the summer and then he is coming to Europe to spend time with us. Well its time to go Andrea. Lizzie we will see you. Don't forget to lock up." End of Flashback

As she finish wiping down the tables she herd the bell over the door. She looked up and locked eyes on the most good looking man she have ever scene. He had the most beautiful bluest eyes she has ever scene. She felt her cheeks get all warm and red. She cleared her throat and said take a seat and I be right with you. Was that her voice it sound so high pitch. She went and got menu and grabbed a highchair for the boy.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth and I will be your waitress."

"Hi, Elizabeth, I'm Jason and this is my son Michael."

She stood their and just stared. She loved the way his voice said her name it was like butter.

"Here are your menu and a highchair for Michael."

"Thank you."

"Would you like anything to drink while you settle in?"

"I'll have a black coffee and small milk for Michael."

"OK coming right up."

As he settle Michael in the highchair he couldn't believe how beautiful the waitress is. The minute he walk into the diner he felt a pull and connection to her. She had the blue eyes, brown wavy hair to her shoulders and the most porcelain skin. He was glad he was holding Michael. His fingers where itching to touch her. I bet her skin was like silk. As she walked over and placed the drinks in front of him he shook his head to clear it. He was hoping to keep his thoughts in his head and hopefully his body won't betray him.

"Are you ready to order?"

"Um yes, I will have a grill cheese and fries for Michael. I will have cheeseburger deluxe no onions."

"OK I will put your order in."

As she went about filling up the last of the sugars she herd him call her. She looked up and walk over to him.

He can't believe he called her over. He wanted to get to know her so he is hoping for some small talk.

"Yes. Jason what can I do for you?"

"Well I was just wondering if its slow in hear all the time?" how lame did that sound

"Well you just missed the lunch rush and the dinner rush will start in couple of hours. Are you on vacation ?" since he started the conversation maybe she will get to know him more.

"Actually we will be here for awhile. How long have you been here ?"

"About 2 months. I moved here from Colorado."

"Wow Colorado."

"Yeah I wanted some place warm. I also wanted to go to Italy and I just thought Venice Florida was close enough."

He laugh at that.

"What brought you here ?"

" I wanted a small town for me and my son. I like the quietness it gives."

" Where are you staying ?"

"At the resort up the road."

"Where do you live ?"

"I live upstairs. Its a great studio and the owner and I have a great arrangement."

She herd the bell ring for his order and excused herself. She couldn't believe she was telling him everything. She never told a customer where she lived only for security purposes. But she felt so relax and safe talking with him.

As she was walking away he couldn't take his eyes off her. He couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to her. He has never been this open with someone before not even with Robin.

"He turns towards Michael and in a quiet voice, well Michael what do you think ? I think we should get to know her more what do you think ? Yeah I know take it slow."

As he looks up their eyes meet and he gives her smile. She smiles back. The smile she gives him is the biggest he has ever seen.

"Here you go. Here is some ketchup. I'll get you some more coffee."

She fills his cup and leaves the bill.

As they finish their lunch he pull out a $100 bill and puts it with the bill. He starts to clean Michael up when she comes over.

"Well it was nice meeting you both, I hope you come back again."

Jason turns around and gives her smile.

"I was wondering what you do around here for fun. Since we are new to town I was wondering if you can tell me whats around." Boy he sound so stupid, stuttering and everything.

"Well in town their are shops that are cute to shop in. the piers are a lot of fun each one has something to do. Um if you want I get off tomorrow around 2:00 if you and Michael would like a tour I be happy to show you ?"

"Sounds great. I will meet you here at 2:00 tomorrow. Great see you then. Bye Michael and Jason."

As she went and rang up the bill she then notice the $100. he left. She grabbed the change and ran after him but it was to late. She will give it to him tomorrow. As she was walking back into the diner she was thinking about what had happen and what tomorrow will bring her. This will be her first date. Well technically was it a date ? Oh who cares. This will be first time she went out with anyone regardless if it was male or female. When she lived in Colorado she kept to herself. She wished she had a girlfriend to call and tell what happen, what to do about tomorrow. Well she will just be happy she made a friend. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.

Port Charles :

Sonny and Brenda where sitting down to dinner when Johnny announced Alexis Davis. Send her in Johnny. As Alexis walk in, Brenda starts to get up from the table.

"No Brenda you can stay I just came to drop off these contracts and see how the both of you are doing ?"

"We are doing great. After going down to the Island and kicking his ass back here. Things are going great. Thank you Alexis for your talk after the whole wedding thing."

"Well I told you he just had cold feet. Its the same thing I did to Ned."

Both women started to laugh. They both where thinking back to the wedding several months ago. Alexis came up to Brenda and told her that he just got cold feet and to go after him. That is what Brenda did. It took her awhile to convince Sonny that she would be safe with his business. That they married down on the island just the two them along with Jason and Robin as their witness.

Bringing the ladies out of their thoughts. " Any thing else that I need to know ?"

"No, How is Jason?"

"He is good. He left today. Then once you get Carly probation cleaned up then she will go meet him."

Sonny is staring at Alexis and is not liking the express on her face. She looked surprised about something.

"What do you mean about Carly probation ? I cleared that up two weeks ago. Why did she stay behind. She told me she was leaving with Jason and Michael and that is why I had to get everything done."

Sonny was shocked and pissed " What the fuck is she up to?"
