Title: She's Everything
Pairing: Liason
Disclaimer: Own Nothing, but the Storyline

Elizabeth was on the brink of her self-restraint. She was ready to just snap and break a blonde into a million pieces, burning the remains when she's done. Even though she knows he'd never cheat on her, Elizabeth still didn't like finding a lipstick stain on his collar. She's kissed many parts of that man, but she'd never be that tacky. Only a stupid blonde stripper named Courtney would do something like that.

Pacing back and forth, clutching the pathetic article of clothing in her hand, Elizabeth tries to calm down and think through the situation. She knew that the blonde wouldn't back down. The question now would be, what is she going to do about it?

Walking over to his closet, Elizabeth yanks open the door, pulling out one of the outfits she keeps in his penthouse and gets dressed. Once she's satisfied with the way she looks, Elizabeth grabs her purse before walking out of Harborview Towers and heading to the strip club. Two can play this game.

"Heads up." Johnny nudges Jason, gesturing to the door where Elizabeth is walking through. "Did you know she'd be here?"

"No." Jason shakes his head, glancing at Courtney before looking at Johnny. "Keep an eye out. I'll be right back."

"Sure." Johnny smirks, plopping down on Jason's seat, knowing things were about to get a hell of a lot more interesting. He's already getting tired of seeing naked woman and he hoped to god that would wear off soon.

Jason walks over to Elizabeth, who's there with his adopted sister, Skye. He wasn't sure what they were doing there, but he knew it wasn't good. Not because they're in a strip club, where only women are stripping, but because of the look in Elizabeth's eyes. She was there to cause trouble and he had a pretty good idea who would take the brunt of it. Managing to take her outside, Jason guides her to a more private place to talk.

"What are you doing here?" Jason questions with an arch of his eyebrow. "I thought you hated this place."

"I do hate this place." Elizabeth assures. "I hate her even more."

"What's going on?" Jason can see that she's angry, but he didn't know why.

"You should know." Elizabeth pulls out his shirt from her purse, shoving it against his chest. "So much for this being a protective thing."

"Elizabeth." Jason stops her from walking away. "This isn't what it looks like."

"No?" Elizabeth folds her arms over her chest. "Because it looks like a stupid bitch trying to make me doubt us. Do I have a reason to worry?"

"I don't care what she wants." Jason says seriously, putting his hands on her shoulders. "I thought you trusted me."

"I do." Elizabeth says firmly. "But I don't trust her."

"What're you going to do?" Jason eyes her intently, knowing she had a plan.

"Nothing." Elizabeth leans in, kissing him softly. "Just having a girls' night out. Scout's honor."

"You were never a scout." Jason reminds her. "You said you could handle this."

"This is me handling it." Elizabeth smiles slightly. "Are you going to make me leave?"

"I'd never do that." Jason searches her eyes for answers but finds none. "I just don't want you to get into it with her right now."

"I'm not here for her." Elizabeth says simply, putting one hand over his heart. "I'm here to drink. If you prefer it, I'll get Skye to go to Jake's. We both know how much fun I can have there."

"No." Jason sighs, shaking his head. "No...you can stay."

"That's what I thought." Elizabeth touches his face softly with her hands. "Now get back to work. Who knows what kind of trouble she can get herself into just to get your attention."

Walking away from him, Elizabeth rejoins Skye in the club. She didn't care that he was uneasy having her there. This wasn't about her trust in him, this was her driving home the point that Courtney didn't stand a chance. That even if Jason took pity on that slut, she'd never have the place in his heart that belongs to her.

"Everything okay?" Skye asks her once Elizabeth has downed a shot of tequila.

"Why wouldn't it be?" Elizabeth downs another shot. "That bitch wants my boyfriend. Why wouldn't I be okay?"

"Jason would never hurt you." Skye points out. "You told me that."

"I know that in my heart." Elizabeth sighs, downing another shot. "My head is another thing entirely."

"Well stop thinking so much." Skye says seriously. "He waited for you to get over Lucky. I doubt he's going to screw it up now."

"I know." Elizabeth turns away from the stage. "I just hate that wench."

"I don't blame you." Skye assures. "I just don't think she's worth your time."

"She's not." Elizabeth states. "But it doesn't mean I'm going to ignore what she's doing. Her lipstick is all over his shirt."

"So?" Skye counters. "She's tacky. We already knew that."

"Its bad enough that everyone in his life doesn't want us together." Elizabeth says sternly. "I don't need to be competing with that bitch."

"There's no competition." Skye reminds her. "He's yours. You've already won."

"You think I'm crazy for wanting him away from her, don't you?"

"No. I don't think you're crazy." Skye puts her hand over hers. "If you really want to mess with that slut, I'll back you up, but I just don't think she's worth it."

"I guess." Elizabeth sighs, downing another shot. "I know he's a chick magnet, I just wish he'd do more to scare them off."

"Guys aren't exactly running from you." Skye points out. "He does the chasing."

"Touche." Elizabeth chuckles softly. "How about we head to Jason's penthouse and drink there?"

"That's more like it." Skye grabs her coat from the chair. "This place is so demeaning anyway."

"Fitting don't you think?" Elizabeth gestures to Courtney. "She acts like she hates working here, but I highly doubt that's true."

"Hate it?" Skye scoffs. "She thrives on it. For a good amount of time each night, she has men drooling over her."

"As long as its not my man, I don't care." Elizabeth gestures to Jason. "I'll meet you outside."

Skye tells her that she'll be waiting before Elizabeth walks over to Jason, who's sitting with Johnny. She doesn't pay the guard any attention when she straddles Jason's lap, stroking the back of his neck with her fingers. She can see that he was a little hurt by her implying that something might have happened with him and Courtney, but she was hurt too. Courtney had to have gotten close enough to put that on there.

"I'm sorry for implying that you'd do anything with her." Elizabeth whispers so only he can hear her. "But I'm not sorry for pointing out that she wants you because she does."

"We've been through a lot, you and me." Jason reaches up, embracing her cheek in his hand. "I'm not going to do anything to screw that up, but I need you to trust me."

"I do trust you." Elizabeth swears. "I just hate it when other women act like you're theirs for the taking."

"Shouldn't it only matter what I want?" Jason counters. "And that's you, in case you don't know that already."

"I'm taking Skye to your place and we're going to spend the night in." Elizabeth smiles slightly. "Just remember...she's not going to stop until she has you."

"Don't worry about it." Jason says softly. "You're it for me. Don't ever doubt that."

"Okay." Elizabeth closes her eyes as his lips claim hers in a passion filled kiss. "You're coming home to me, right?"

"The moment she's safe in her apartment." Jason promises. "Go have fun."

"Only if you don't." Elizabeth says teasingly, standing up. "See you later."

"Count on it."
