sorry about the earlier confusion thought I deleted the first two chapters when i posted, here's the revised edition. Aagaing sorry for the the delay as school is ending the stress is mounting but I managed to get this typed up during luch time.
Chapter 3: the Jason stories
"You know, I think you're the best matched girl for Jason that I've ever seen him with." said Brenda draining the last of her beer.
"What do you mean?" asked Sam curiously. "If I'm being compared to Carly I'm not quite sure if I should be offended or not."
"Oh no I only reference Carly as a low blow." said Brenda. "Can't tell you how many times I wanted to just slug her."
"I did, a couple of times, one was right over there." said nodding over to the table where she punched Carly. "I'm not proud of but, Jason and I were in the middle of a pretty important talk and she just came slamming in. I left and she tracked me down here and I just lost it."
"That's what I mean." said Brenda, nodding. "Jason finally found a woman who can handle the life he lives. I assume you know about Courtney they were starting out when our marriage was being ended. She was pretty blind to the dark side of Sonny and Jason's life. I had been disillusioned to Sonny and I did my best to make her see the whole picture."
"I'm not Courtney, I don't have those blinders on." said Sam guessing where this was headed. "Jason and I are danger junkies we get off on gambles and risks. Before I came to this town I was a con-artist drifting from one scam to another, now I found my mother, two sisters and a guy that loves me."
"Exactly my point, you know Jason's lifestyle and you don't try to change who he is or what he does." said Brenda downing the rest of her beer. "From what you said on the pier you can even be back up and help him out when he needs it."
Yeah when we got together the first time he tried to keep his work as far out of our lives as he could." said Sam taking one last shot. "It's weird when we were broken up was when he began to let me in to that part of him. Since we got back together when things get crazy we're on the same page. The fact that I'm a P.I now doesn't hurt."
The two women were so focused on their conversation that neither one notice the arrival of the leather jacket wearing blue-eyed enforcer. "Hey, Coleman, am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?"
"That you are pal." said Coleman. "Your girlfriend and ex-wife get along, good luck to you brother."
"Well, speak of the devil." said Sam, shifting here gaze as Jason walked toward them. "You ok? Looks like your thinking pretty hard about something."
"Yeah just a little surprised to see you guys here together." said Jason eyeing them suspiciously. "What did you do Brenda call her here to tell her all the stories you have on me?"
"Oh, right Jason, you caught me." Said Brenda mocking throwing her hand in the air "I was just about to tell Sam about the time you asked my permission to protect me."
"Really? He never asked me if I actually wanted protecting." said Sam through partial shock. "Let me guess you said no he did it any way."
"I'm right here you know." said Jason indignantly.
"Oh, are we making you feel uncomfortable Jason?" asked Brenda giggling a bit. "What worried about what might happen when the girlfriend and the ex-wife have a drink together?
"I'm not uncomfortable." Said Jason, but both Brenda and Sam had known him far too long to believe him.
"Whatever you say Jason." said Brenda rising from her seat. "Gotta take off I promised Ned I' look in on his daughter when I got here, see you two later."
"What do you say we head back to my place?" said Sam entangling her fingers with Jason's. "on the way I could pick up some Chinese."
"Sounds like a plan."
So what does Jason really think about Sam and Brenda getting along? and what does Sam think about meeting a woman who does Jason so well. Unless I get further ideas (WHICH ARE MORE THAN WELCOME) next chapter will be the last of this story which I hope to get up in the next few days, as always hope you enjoyed it please review.
