Sonny had a strange feeling that he had been had but he decided that he needed to see if he could work things out on his own. Sam was a different story. He needed to send her far away. He just had to make her think that once Jason showed up that he would be going down to see her. He just hoped that he could talk her into leaving.
"Sam, I promise that as soon as I find Jason, that I will have him go to Puerto Rico to be with you. You must go down there because you are driving me crazy. I want our baby to safe and sound but you need to stop all those whining. Carly is driving me crazy that you are around to remind her of how I screwed up and you are driving me crazy because of our baby. It needs to end. Carly is my wife and I will do anything to make her happy. You, well I care about you and our child but there is only so much I can do. I will have my staff take care of you and you will have everything you need."
"I will leave when Jason comes back from his vacation. I know that he is with that slut but she can't satisfy him, like I can. I am what he needs, he just doesn't know it. I will stay in his penthouse and wait for him. I will not bother you but promise to keep Francis and Johnny away from me. I know that they don't like me and I am a bit scared of them. Maybe Milo can watch over me or Max."
"You know that Max and Milo are for Carly and me. They are the ones that protect my family. I will not have them watch out for you. Johnny and Francis will stay away from you. I will keep them busy at the warehouses. I am going to have to figure out who I can have watch over you. Maybe Zander can watch over you. He is new but he seems to have a good head on his shoulder. I will drop you off at the towers. Just remember, stay away from Carly. Okay. I promise you will get Jason."
Francis and Diane had spent a week up in Canada and they were very relaxed when they got back to the cabin. Jason and Liz had things going great between the two of them. Charlie was new but he took orders without too much trouble. The main thing that bothered them was not knowing what was going on in Port Charles.
"Jason, I will tell you what is going on but you have to know that Johnny and I will have your back and it will all work out. We are not allowed around Princess Sam. She fears us because we are friends of Elizabeth's. She then wanted Max and Milo but Sonny said no. She now has Zander as her guard. She has the poor guy going crazy. Carly is still upset about you being gone but Sonny seems to have something going on that we can't quite figure out. I think that he is waiting you out. I just hope he is ready to wait till the first of the year. No matter what happens, you will not be forced to take care of Sam. Maximus will send you somewhere far away before you are forced into something that you don't want. The only other thing I can think of is that you get married before you go back to Port Charles. You can do it for real or make it look like you are married."
"You have given me a lot to think about. I do trust you and Johnny. I know that if Sonny figures out where Elizabeth and I are staying that you will get us safely away from here. Maybe we should go to a real island that is too far for him to figure out. I do know that Elizabeth and I are having a great time here together. It is nice not to have all that interference that we have back in Port Charles. Thank you and Diane for letting us stay here. It means a lot to us. It is the closest thing to paradise that I know of and being with Liz is more than I deserve."
Diane and Elizabeth had the same talk. "Diane, you don't know how much I appreciate everything that you and your husband are doing for Jason and me. I am working on a piece that I think will be great for our waiting room. It is the lake with the morning fog settling on it with the deer taking in the view. I will show you my sketch but the painting will have to wait. I am not quite done with it. I will have it ready for Thanksgiving. I do know what I would like to have for that day. I have made a list for the runner to get next week. I can't believe that in two weeks it will be Thanksgiving. These past two weeks have been great. Jason and I have found out so much about each other and I know that he is the man that I love and adore. He makes me feel so loved and cherished. He means more to me than I ever thought he could and so quickly."
"You know about Sam wanting to marry Jason. I think that the best thing for the two of you is to get married before you return to Port Charles. I could help you set it up and you could get married right before Christmas. If you want this, I am sure that we can make it happen. I know that Francis is telling Jason the same thing. If it is too soon or you are not ready, we can fake it so Sam will back off from Jason."
"Thank you. I would love to marry Jason but I want him to want to marry me and not feel like I am the lesser of the two evils. He is the kind of man that should never be forced into something that he doesn't want or like. If he asks me, then yes. If he doesn't then we will fake it. Sam will not force herself on Jason."
Diane and Francis spent the night at the cabin. They had a great meal that Jason and Francis had grilled outside. Elizabeth made some sides and her fresh baked bread. She had brownies for dessert. Diane thought that Jason and Elizabeth looked like they were made for each other.
The four of them had dinner and they made a toast to Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then Francis saw the look in Jason's eyes. "Liz, I want you to know that I love you. You have made me feel so happy the past couple of weeks. It has been the most amazing time that I have ever had. You have been in my life for a long time now and I never felt that I was good enough for you. I hope you know that I would lay down my life for you if I had too. You are everything to me and I would be honored if you would marry me."
Liz looked at him and then Diane. She understood that he was saying this because he loved me and that because of what he felt would happen back in Port Charles. "Yes, I would love to be your wife. You mean everything to me and I have felt this way for a very long time. I just never thought that we could do it because of your commitments back in Port Charles. I would live anywhere as long as it is with you. I know that you might have to leave Port Charles if Sonny pushes Maximus. I hope that you know it."
Diane and Francis knew that their job was done. "I am glad that we are going home tomorrow. You both are going to make me cry. I love you both like you were my children. Liz, you have been the daughter that I have always wanted. I knew that the minute I met you that you would be an important person in my life. Jason, I want you to know that you have always had a soft spot in my heart. Francis thinks of you like a son. We know you both have parents but we like to think of you as ours too."
Liz and Jason then went to hug the couple who had given them so much. "Okay. Jason, do we have a Christmas or New Year's Eve wedding? If you don't want to wait, we could get married right after Thanksgiving. I am willing to marry you anytime, even tomorrow."
Jason looked at his fiancée and realized that he had hit the jackpot. It was beautiful and so peaceful up there. Jason knew that the peace wouldn't last long if they got married too soon but he also didn't want to wait. He wanted Maximus and the five families there and some of the guys back home. He could not do that without Sonny finding out.
"Okay, Francis. I know that you have this all figured out. Where do we get married and how do we do it under Sonny's radar? Do we get married here or go somewhere else?"
"You let Diane and I figure it out. We will talk to Maximus and I am sure that he has a place somewhere in the states that we can all go to without being too suspicious to Sonny."
Diane and Francis then headed to bed. Jason and Liz headed to her bedroom and the two of them were not sure what just happened but they knew that it would all work out.
Diane and Francis had gone back to Port Charles the next day. The runner had gone to get everything that Elizabeth needed for her Thanksgiving dinner to Jason. She also received a note from Diane and Francis.
Liz and Jason,
Okay. I know you both are eager to find out where and when you are getting married? We have spoken to Maximus and he has set up the perfect wedding for the both of you on December 10th. He has a new place that Sonny does not know about in California. It is on the Pacific Coast and his place overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It is in Malibu and just a few of your nearest and dearest will be there. You will be leaving the day after Thanksgiving. Johnny will be taking you there for the two weeks before the wedding. You will be pampered, wined, dined and most of all ready for your wedding day. Liz, I will be coming a few days after you get there to help you pick out your wedding dress. Francis will be helping you Jason pick out your tux. Your family knows about the wedding and will be flying there the day before you get married. Liz, I talked to your family and your grandmother is going to be in California already at your sister's house. They will be going to Malibu the day before you get married and your brother will be there a few days before that. Your parents are still out of touch but we will try some more. I will not be telling anyone else about your wedding because I am afraid of letting Sonny and Carly know. Emily is happy about the wedding and she will be going with me. Nik and Lucky do not know yet but they will be told just before the wedding. I promised Emily that she could call Nik on that day. Love you both, Diane and Francis
When Elizabeth read the letter, she had to pinch herself because she could not believe how lucky she was that Maximus was doing this for Jason and herself. Jason started pacing. "I am so happy about our wedding but I am afraid of Sonny busting it up. I just wish that I knew that he was going to be safely far away from us and not know what is going on but he has too many friends who would gladly tell him."
"Maximus is the head of the families. No one would go over his head. Sonny would not be that stupid do that. Sam won't be a problem. Zander will be watching her so let's forget about them for now and concentrate on us. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and then we go to California. I think that we need to take a walk in the woods and see what we can find out there."
Jason went to the sink and filled up two water bottles for their walk. They dressed in layers for their walk because if they got warm, they could take off some layers or put them back on. There was a favorite part of the woods that the two of them loved going too. They knew the woods like they knew everything about the cabin that they were staying in. Jason laid a blanket down in the glen. The area was soft and that was where they first made love. The first couple of nights, they just laid together and felt comfortable being together.
Jason took off his layers until he was down to his boxers. Liz went down to her cami and bikini bottoms. Jason felt that he was the luckiest man alive when he was with her. They kissed slowly and when Jason knew she was fully relaxed he helped her take off her cami. He took her breast into his mouth while his fingers played with the other breast. He took his time making her feel treasured. The look in his eyes could make her want him. She had the same effect on him too.
The two of them had so much chemistry it was like they could combust while they were having sex. Jason helped Elizabeth out of her bikini bottoms and could feel how wet she was for him. His fingers went in a little deeper until they reached the spot that he knew would make her scream. He then slid into her like she was made just for him. They knew how to please and tease each other until they felt that they were both going to explode. Jason laid down while Liz got on top of him. She took him in and out of her. She sped up and when she felt that he was right about to go over she would pull back. She did that a couple of times and Jason wanted just a little bit more. He kissed her and the two went over the edge both calling out for each other.
Jason cleaned up some and then they got dressed back up. The walk back home was always longer because they took their time. When Jason got near the cabin, they felt as though someone was there. The runner had already brought all the fixings for dinner and Francis was not coming to until after Thanksgiving dinner. He held Liz back from the treeline.
Jason then went around the corner and saw Sonny's SUV. He knew that Sonny didn't believe Francis. He went back to the woods and wasn't sure what to do at first. Then he heard Max. "Sonny, I am telling you that Jason and Elizabeth are not here. My father sent them to some island in the Bahamas. I don't know why you don't want to listen to me. I will call my dad now."
Max called his father and told him that Sonny needed to ask him where Jason and Elizabeth were and if he could get in touch with them.
"Sonny, I have told you already that Jason is safe. He and Elizabeth Webber are on one of my private islands. They are out of touch because that is part of my bet with Jason. You must know if he finishes his bet then Jason and Elizabeth will be going on a vacation around the world. Jason has been a good enforcer but sometimes a person needs to be able to relax. He is not coming back to you until this little test is over. I suggest you take my son and go back to Port Charles. Francis's cabin is not somewhere you need to be right now. You have enough things to worry about with Thanksgiving being tomorrow and Christmas coming up. I would think that with your wife and girlfriend that you would be tied up so to speak."
"Maximus, I understand that you think that Jason deserves some time off but I need him back in Port Charles. Elizabeth Webber is not good for him and he needs to take care of Samantha for me. He is my right hand and I need him right now. I guess then, I need for your people to take him off the island and bring him back home. I am sure that his family will want him home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don't care what you do with the girl. Just bring him home."
"You are not going to order me around. I say he stays and if I think for one moment that you will try to find him and bring him back to Port Charles, then you will be in serious trouble. The five families have agreed to his break and to his vacation for a year. He deserves that and you are lucky that I am not in Port Charles now. You won't like it if I have to go there to take care of you." Maximus then hung up. Max looked at Sonny and knew that trouble was brewing and Sonny was too dumb to think that it was going to happen to him.
"Sonny, we need to go now. I promised my brother that when Thanksgiving is over that we can take a break to the west coast. I am not sure if we are going to California or Vegas. I need to go home and pack."
Sonny looked at him and then Elizabeth and Jason could hear Sam whine. "Sonny, why don't we find out what island, Maximus owns and grab Jason ourselves. Then you can drop us off in Puerto Rico on your way home. I want him to marry me and then I will leave you alone. I don't care whether I spend your money or his money. You know that you owe me for getting knocked up and I deserve whatever I want."
When Jason heard that it made him want to scream. He wanted to take both Sonny and Sam out with his bare hands. He didn't love Sam but he didn't realize that she didn't love him. It was all about the money. Max looked at Sonny and the three of them got into the SUV and headed back to Port Charles.
Max was glad that Jason was outside and heard everything. He saw them in the tree line but Sonny and Sam were too into themselves to even notice them. Jason then led Elizabeth back into the cabin.
Elizabeth felt sick after what she heard from both Sam and Sonny. She felt more upset about how they wanted to use Jason just for him money. Sonny had plenty and he could also get custody of the baby and just send her away with some money.
Jason hardly spoke through dinner and she knew that he had been hurt by what was said. He knew by the way that Sonny was talking that Maximus was not having what he was selling and wanted to protect Jason. In a few days, the two of them would be going to California and getting married.
Jason went to lay down and Elizabeth went to get some oils that she had the runner get for her. She warmed them up and laid a towel on top of her bed. She called to Jason and had him lie naked on the towel. She took the warmed-up oil and poured some of it on him. She rubbed the oil into his skin and gave him the best massage that he could remember. She took her time and rubbed deep down into his muscles to make sure that she got them all. She then turned him over and did the front half of his body. She did his chest and stomach area. She had already done his shoulders and arms. Now she was getting into his legs, making sure that she didn't miss anything including his feet.
The last area that she did was her favorite area on him. She wanted to take her time there and make sure that he was totally relaxed. She poured the warm oil into her hands and then she gently touched his hard dick. She played with his balls and he was totally turned on. When she had him right where she wanted him then she took him into her mouth. She teased him but licking up one side and down the other. She licked and sucked him getting a good speed going on and then she got undressed.
She wanted to feel him inside of her and she didn't want to wait. She took off her clothes and got on top of him. She felt herself slide down on his hard dick until he was fully inside of her. She knew then that she could take her time and get him feeling better about his future. He didn't have to think about Sonny or Sam anymore because he had her. She wanted him to know that no words were needed. It was in his eyes that she knew that he needed her. She loved him so much that she never wanted to see the look on his face again, that he had when Sam and Sonny left.
Thanksgiving morning, Elizabeth started getting the turkey ready for the oven. She was using her grandmother's recipes but nothing beat her grandmother's cooking. She had the sides ready to go into the oven at the right time. She was also getting their clothes ready to go to California. They were going to buy new clothes there for the warmer weather at the beach.
"I don't know how to thank you for taking such good care of me last night. I don't know what was more amazing the rubdown that you gave me or the shower to get off the extra oil. I feel like the luckiest man alive to have you as my future wife. I am sorry that I shut down like that yesterday. I promise that I will never let them do that to me again."
"I am lucky too because I have you as my future husband. I know that they hurt you and I am mad as hell at them for doing that to you. Tomorrow we will be flying to our new life. I can't wait to see everyone and what our future holds for us. Right now, we need to think about eating our Thanksgiving feast. I have turkey, mashed potatoes, biscuits, gravy, yams, green bean casserole and cranberry sauce. There is a wonderful apple pie in the oven and early this morning I made my brownies. I think that Johnny is going to be on his way now and so is Charlie. He is a great runner. I am glad that you have been training him. I think that he will do well."
The two of them started eating their dinner when there was a knock at the door. Jason looked out and saw Johnny with Charlie. Jason opened the door for them and they came in to eat dinner. Johnny said that they would have to leave early the next morning and get to the airstrip around seven. It was a good six or seven-hour flight. Charlie was also going with them so Jason could keep training the young guard.
Johnny had told Charlie about the meal and especially the brownies. They all enjoyed a great afternoon and Charlie helped Elizabeth with the dishes. The food was put away and they had stored it so they could take some on the plane.
Johnny and Jason went outside to talk. Johnny knew that Jason heard everything that Sonny and Sam had said the day before and Max filled Johnny in on everything that his father wanted done.
"Okay, first off Maximus is beyond pissed at Sonny. With all of us leaving going to California, Sonny will know something is up. We are letting him think that we are going to Vegas. This way Sonny will think that you are there and that he can drug you up and marry Sam before you even realize what is going on. Okay. You are getting married to Liz on the 10th and we are letting Sonny think that you are going there on the 14th. That way you will be legally married to Elizabeth and his plan will fail. Then he will be taken care of by Maximus. I am not sure what that entails but I am sure that Sonny will not be happy. Sam will also not be happy because she will not be legally married to you."
"Okay, I can go for this and I am sure that Elizabeth will have no problem either, especially when she can show Sam our wedding license and the date we got married. It is going to be a lot of fun. I just hope we don't get arrested."
Johnny and Jason then went back inside to relax before the apple pie was ready to come out of the oven.
