Sneaking around…"you mean the world to me"

Bren shut the door to Jazz's room, and walked across the hall to her room. She was expecting to see Jason, but he was no where to be found. She left her room, and went down the hall to the guest bedroom. Jason was unpacking. "What are you doing?"

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm unpacking."

"I thought you were going to move into my room."

"We never discussed that."

"I just assumed you would."

"Don't you think…..we should give Jazz time to adjust?"

"Jason, you have been in her life for almost a year. She's use to you."

"She's not use to us being together."

"If you don't want to move in, just say so, stop using Jazz as an excuse."

"Brenda, why would I not want to move in with you?"

"Because, maybe this is getting too real for you."

"Brenda, what are you talking about?"

"You aren't use to being tied down to a family. You are use to doing whatever you want."

"I'm here because I want to be here."

"I know you love us, but maybe you're feeling trapped."

"Brenda, I don't know what you are talking about. My concern is for Jazz. I don't want to do anything too fast. Look, it has always just been the two of you. Yes, you were with Murphy, but he didn't live here. I don't want to do too much too soon. She doesn't even know I'm her father yet."

Bren sighed. "Ok, Jason. I can't make you do anything, so I'm going to bed." Bren turns and leaves, shutting the door behind her.

Bren has just finished showering, and she just about to get in bed, when she heard her cell phone ring. Bren looked at the phone. "Murphy?" She sighed and answered...

The next day, Bren didn't say much to Jason. She needed some time to herself, so she left Jazz with him, and went out. Margarite smiled. "Hey, I missed you."

"Me too." They hug. "I know you can't stay long, I just wanted to see you, it's been awhile."

"Yes it has. Sooo, how are things with Jason?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know? What changed?"

"I guess Hawaii, was Hawaii, and now we are back to the way we were."

"What happened?"

"I don't want to talk about Jason." Bren looked over Margarite's shoulder. "Hello."

Murphy smiled. "Hey, yourself. Hello, Margarite."

Margarite turned. "Murphy? Hey. What a surprise!"

"No surprise, we're having lunch."

Margarite looked at Bren, and then back at Murphy. "Hey, could you give us one minute, I'm getting ready to leave, and I need to run something by Brenda."

"I'll be over by the bar." He leaves.

"Brenda!"

"What? Before you jump to conclusions, it's just lunch."

"I don't know what's going on with you and Jason, but involving Murphy is not good."

"We are just having lunch!"

Margarite looked at her watch. "Ok, Brenda. I have to go, I'm almost late, but you better call me later!" They hug, and she leaves...

Margarite is walking down the street, and she sees Jason and Jazz. Jazz smiled. "Margarite!"

"Hey dumpling!" They hug. "Hello, Jason."

"Hey, I thought Brenda was with you."

"She was, but I have a meeting, I have to get to."

"Did you leave her at the cafe?"

"Aaah...yeah, but I don't think she's there anymore."

"Did she leave with you?"

"No, but she said...um...she's was leaving as soon as she finished."

"Well, maybe we can catch her. Bye."

"Bye." Jason and Jazz continue walking, and Margarite pulled her phone out, to call Bren, but she didn't get an answer...

"I'm glad you decided to meet me. How is Jazz?"

"She's good."

"I miss her."

"I think she misses you too."

"Why did you break up with me?"

"Because it wasn't working. You were always gone."

"I had to work. I never strayed Brenda, it always just you."

"I believe you. Murphy, you are a good guy-."

"But you're just not in love with me."

"Murphy, I didn't say that."

"You are?"

"Look, it wasn't working, but I still consider you my friend."

"I don't want to be a friend, I want you back." He reached across the table, and grabbed her hand. "Brenda, I miss you."

"Murphy, I-."

Jazz's eyes lit up. "Murphy!" Bren looked up, and saw Jason standing there with Jazz. She yanked her hand out of Murphy's.

"Jazz, sweetheart, you are getting so big."

"I have a new doll."

"I would love to see her. Hey, Jason."

"Hey."

Murphy stands. "Why don't you two have a seat? My treat."

"No, we're leaving. We just came in to say hi. Come on Jazz, let's go get some ice cream."

"Ice cream!" Bren looked up at Jason, he looked at her briefly before looking back at Jazz.

"See you later, sweetheart."

"Bye mommie." Jason and Jazz leave.

"She's getting so big."

"Yes she is..."

Bren was sitting on the couch, when Jason and Jazz came home. "Mommie, I got a giraffe."

"It's lovely, sweetheart." Jazz took off in the direction of her room. Jason sat down on the couch, without saying a word. Bren looked at him. "Aren't you going to say something?"

"About what?"

"About...what you saw earlier?"

"No."

"So you don't have anything to say?"

"Brenda, no."

"Ok, Jason." *silence* "So you just don't care?"

"Brenda, just let it go."

"Are we even a couple?"

Jason sighed.

"Jason, are we together? Because right now, I don't know."

"Seems like I should be asking you the questions, since you are the one who was sitting in the cafe holding another guy's hand."

"He was holding my hand."

"Yeah, ok Brenda. You didn't seem to mind."

"You don't know that."

"You didn't pull back, until you saw me. I watched you. Brenda, I don't like games."

"I'm not playing games."

"Were you trying to make me jealous?"

Bren rolled her eyes. "Jason, I didn't even know you were going to be there."

"Why were you having lunch with him?"

"Because he called and asked."

"Because he called and ask?"

"He called last night, said he was in town, and he wanted to see me for a couple of minutes. I didn't see any harm in it."

"I thought you said he broke up with you."

"I...don't remember saying that."

"You lie so much, you don't even remember telling me that?"

"I-."

"Save it Brenda. He didn't break up with you. I know he didn't. He still wants you."

"Look, I only told you that, so you would move in."

"I know."

"If you knew, then why are you asking?" Jason just looked at her, and didn't say a word. She looked at him, rolled her eyes, got up, and went into the kitchen...

After eating dinner, Bren bathed Jazz, and put her to sleep. Jason went out, as soon as Jazz was in bed, and Bren didn't know where he went. Her cell phone rings, she hurries and grabs it. She thought it was Jason, but it was Margarite. "Hello."

"Brenda, are you able to talk?"

"Yeah, Jazz is asleep, and Jason left."

"Did Jason come to the cafe today?"

"Yes, how do you know that?"

"I ran into him, and I tried calling you. So did he freak out?"

"Jason hardly ever loses control. The only time I have ever seen him lose it, was when he found out about Jazz."

"So he didn't say anything?"

"Not really. I don't think he cares."

"Don't play games with him. You should have told Murphy, no, because he still loves you. It's not like he's moved on, and he is over you."

"Honestly, I thought it was just going to be two old friends getting together."

"I think you were angry with Jason, and decided to get him back by seeing Murphy."

"That's not true."

"I could be wrong, but it's how I feel. Just be careful, Jason doesn't look like the type to put up with that type of stuff. Well, I'm done, I don't want to preach to you. I love you, and I just don't want to see you, lose the man you love. Just think about what I said."

"I will."

"Nite."

"Nite...…"

After hanging up with Margarite, Bren showered, and got into bed. She couldn't sleep, she was worried about Jason. She should've never met Murphy, and hopefully she didn't ruin things with him. She knew it was stupid. Margarite was right, Jason was not the type to put up with that. He would surely leave. Bren got up, and looked out the window. She wondered where he was. She moved away from the window, and decided to go and get a drink. She went into the kitchen, and poured herself a glass of wine. She was coming out of the kitchen, when she heard the door open. Their eyes met briefly, and then she walked down the hall to her room. Bren got into bed, and put her glass on the night stand. Eventually she drifts off...

Jason was angry with Bren, but he didn't want to leave things the way they were. He took a shower, and walked down the hall to her room. He knocked, but received no answer. He turned the knob and went in. Bren was in the bed sleeping. He walked over to the bed, and looked down at her. She was so beautiful and he adored her. He reached down and shook her. Her eyes open. "Jason...what are you doing in here?"

"We need to talk."

"Ok. But let me say something. First, I'm sorry, I should've never met Murphy, I was wrong."

"I agree."

"And I know I overreacted last night. I know you love me, and I need to stop questioning it, or testing it."

"I agree."

"I don't want to fight."

"Me either. I decided to move into your room."

"Jason, I would love for you to move in, but I think you were right, let's give it time."

Jason took a seat on the bed. "What changed your mind?"

"Having you here is good enough. And you are right, Jazz needs the time to adjust."

"Brenda, don't accept any more lunch dates with Murphy."

"Ok."

"No argument?"

"No."

"No, I don't tell you what to do?"

"No."

"Wow."

"Jason, I really want to try and make this work, I don't want to lose you."

"I'm not going anywhere."

"Kiss me, please." Jason leaned down and softly kissed her lips. She closed her eyes, and allowed herself to get lost in him. It had been almost two days, since he last kissed her, and she missed him. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him closer. Jason moved up to her ear.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to feel you." Jason slid in next to her. She turned her back to him, laying on her side. He kissed the back of her neck.

"Jaason...I want you now." He reached up under the sheet, and pulled her shorts down to her knees. He removed his boxers, and pulled her to him. Bren still lying on her side, gasped, as he joined them. "Jaaason." He sucked and licked on her neck, back, and shoulders. Jason moved up to her ear.

"I don't want anybody touching you." Bren moaned. "Do you understand? Answer me, Brenda." Bren moaned a yes, and buried her face into the pillow, biting it. He made love to her, like he was out to prove something. Bren wanted to scream. He felt so good. His name constantly on her lips, seemed to be turning him on even more. After some time he pulled her to him, and she felt his release. No words were spoken, they both just fell into a deep sleep...

Part 2

It's a couple of months later, and Bren and Jason are in her room sleeping. Bren woke up, and looked at the clock, it's 5:30. She looked up at Jason, and leaned in and kissed him, but he didn't wake up. She started kissing his chest, and she felt him move. "Brenda, what time is it?"

"530."

"Why are you up so early?"

"I wanted to spend some time with you…..before Jazz woke up."

"Brenda, she does not wake up till after 7."

"I know. If you're tired, you can go back to sleep."

"No, I'm fine." Jason stretched. She leaned in and kissed him. "What did I do to deserve that?"

"Everything."

"Well…..whatever the reason, it's appreciated."

"You know things have been going pretty good with us lately."

"They have."

"Have I told you, how good it feels to be near you again?"

"No."

"Well it does. I use to miss you like crazy."

"Brenda, you didn't have to leave, you chose to."

"I know, and I paid the price. I thought about you all the time."

"Me too, I tried to hate you."

"Actually, I think you did. The day I called, you were so mean."

"I was still hurting, I felt abandoned."

"I didn't want you to feel abandoned."

"I felt like you didn't love me enough to stay."

"I loved you, I just had a weird way of showing it."

"Yeah, you did."

"But I did love you."

"Did you love Murphy?"

"Wow, what a question to ask, but yes. Not like I love you. I did have love for him though, he was good to us. I won't asked if you loved Sam, because I know you did."

"Yeah, I did. She made life easy."

"I could tell, she was easy going."

"She was good to me, but she deserved someone better than me. I loved her, but not the way I love you. Even when I was with her, I would always think of you. I never could get over you, no matter how hard I tried. And I did try."

"I guess easy going didn't work for you." Jason laughed. Brenda looked at him. "I never tried to get over you. I held on to every memory I had of you. Sometimes at night, I would close my eyes and see your face. It felt like you were there, but then I would open them, and reality would hit me."

"I know the feeling." *silence* "In the beginning, it was so hard when you left, I missed you a lot. No one wanted to be around me. Everybody pretty much stayed away. Well everyone, except Carly. Eventually, I learned to live without you, but I never forgot you. There were times when I really needed you, just to get through the day, but you were not there."

"Jason, I'm sorry. I should have never given up on us." She leaned over, and pressed her lips against his. All of sudden, Bren felt a sharp pain. She grabbed her stomach. Jason sat up. "What's wrong?"

"I don't know, I just got a sharp pain." Another pain shoots through her abdomen. Bren-oooow! Jason jumped up. "Brenda, are you ok?"

"I don't think so. My stomach hurts. Oooow! Something's wrong Jason." She faints…..

Jason is in the waiting room, waiting for news on Brenda. He paced back and forth. All he knew is that she had to have emergency surgery. No one is telling him anything. He stopped a nurse, but she tells him there is no word yet. After a while, the doctor comes out. "Mr. Morgan?"

"Yes, how…..is she?"

"She's stable."

"What's wrong with her?"

"She was pregnant."

"Pregnant?"

"Yes, but it was an ectopic pregnancy."

"Ectopic?"

"Yes, it is often referred to as a tubal pregnancy."

"I don't know what that is."

"The baby didn't attached to the uterus, as it should. It was growing in her fallopian tubes. That's the reason she was having so much pain. We had to terminate the pregnancy."

"Is she ok? I mean can I see her?"

"Yes, she's in recovery." A nurse took Jason to Bren's room.

Brenda is lying in the bed motionless. Jason slowly walked over to the bed. The room was silent, except for the beeping of the machines. He stood over her. She looked so pale and weak. He rubbed her hair, but she didn't move. He leaned down and kissed her. *Nurse enters* "Hello."

"Hi." The nurse checked her fluids and vitals. "Is she going to be ok?"

"Yes, the medicine has to wear off. She'll wake up after awhile."

Jason looked down at Bren, and rubbed her cheek. "Will she still be able to have children?"

"Yes, they just terminated the pregnancy. In a lot of cases, we could normally just give the patient medicine to end the pregnancy, but we couldn't in her case. She started bleeding, but she's fine now. I know it doesn't look like it, but she should recover. If you need anything let me know."

"Ok, thanks." *Nurse leaves.* Jason pulled a chair up, and sat beside the bed. He grabbed her hand, and kissed it. Jason was so scared, he thought he'd lost her. She meant the world to him, and he didn't know what he would do, if anything happened to her. He rubbed her head, and kissed her again. Jason walked to the window and looked out. He loved her soo much, and he couldn't imagine his life without her. They had been through so much, and for awhile, it didn't look good, but they found their way back to each other. "Jaason." Jason turned and rushed over to the bed. Jason rubbed her head.

"I'm right here."

"Oooh, I'm in so much pain."

"Don't move, take it easy."

"I…don't…think…I…could…move. What…happened?"

"Brenda, you were pregnant, but the baby was growing in your tubes."

"An ectopic pregnancy?"

"Yes. Were you having any pain?"

"Yes, but I didn't think anything…..of it."

"They had to terminate the pregnancy."

Bren eyes fill with tears. "I figured that."

"Don't cry. You're fine, that's all that matters." He leaned in and kissed her. "You scared me."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize."

"Where is Jazz?"

"With Margarite."

"She didn't see anything did she?"

"No she was still sleeping."

"Good, I don't want to scare her."

Jason leaned in and he was so close his nose was touching hers. "I'm so happy to see those brown eyes looking at me. You have no idea how worried I was." He kissed her. "I love you."

"I love you more."

"Right now, I don't think that's possible." Bren smiled, closed her eyes and drifted off…

It had been about 6 weeks since Bren was rushed to the hospital, and everything was back to normal, well almost everything. "Come on Jason, Jazz is sleeping, and it's been so long."

"Brenda, no. I don't want to hurt you."

"Jason, you won't hurt me, you will actually help me." She starts licking his neck, and pulling at his belt."

"Brenda! Stop."

"No, I need you. Don't make me beg?"

"Brenda, I don't want you to beg. I just want to make sure you have healed."

"The doctor said 4 to 6 weeks, I feel fine."

"Just because you feel fine, does not make you fine." Bren tried kissing him, Jason turned his head. "Jason, are you cheating on me?"

"No, Brenda."

"You're not attracted to me anymore?"

"Of course I am."

"Then what's the problem?"

"I just want to make sure you have healed. Let's wait one more week. Please." Bren sighed. "ok, Jason….."

Later that night, Jason is in the bed sleeping. He feels something on him, he wakes up. Bren quickly pulled his other hand up to the bed post, and handcuffed it. "Brenda! What are you doing?"

"If you don't want to give it to me, I'm going to take it." Bren smiled. "Jason, I am going to sexually assault you, and there isn't anything you can do about it." Jason starts pulling his arms, but it's no hope, he isn't going anywhere. Bren removed her robe, and revealed a red lingerie set. "You like?" She straddled him, and started rubbing his chest.

"You feel so good."

"Brenda, why don't you get the key, and take these handcuffs off, I want to touch you."

"No you don't. I'll do it when I'm done." She leaned in, and kissed him, but Jason didn't kiss her back.

"So, you don't want to kiss me? Are you angry?" She flicked her tongue across his lips.

"Brenda, take these things off!"

"No." She kissed him again, and started rubbing her chest all over his face. "Like those?" Jason just looked at her. Bren moved down to his neck, and started kissing and sucking on it. Jason felt his body betraying him, and so did Bren. She moved down, and started kissing his chest, and then down to his navel. She stopped at the top of his boxers. She looked up and smiled. She grabbed a hold of his boxers and pulled them down his legs. She then started kissing his inner thighs. She looked up at him, he was turned on, she could tell. She made her back up to his lips. And this time, he kissed her back.

"Jason, I don't want to do anything, that you don't want to do. I think you want to, but I'm not sure. Am I wrong?" Jason didn't respond. Bren started kissing his neck again. "You don't have to say anything, your friend says yes." Bren stood up, and finished getting undressed. She kissed Jason again, and took her place. She moaned as they connected. Her fingernails digging into his chest, as she moved her hips. Jason moaned her name, as he pushed up against her, causing her to moan louder. She made love to him, until they both were left panting and sweating. She kissed his neck, and fell asleep…..

It's the next morning, and Jason is trying to wake Bren. "Brenda, wake up!"

He moves his torso. Bren looked up. "Are you trying to wake me up?"

"Take these things off of me, they hurt."

'Ok, ok. I'll get the key. She grabs the key, and makes her way back over to the bed."

"I'm going to take these handcuffs off, behave yourself. You had fun, and so did I, remember that."

"Take them off!" Bren took the cuffs off. Jason grabbed her. "I should handcuff you."

"Maybe tonight." Jason smiled.

"You want to take a shower with me?"

"I don't think I should shower with the person who assaulted me."

"I didn't assault you. You wanted it." Jason laughed.

"Come on, Jazz will be up in a minute." Jason stands, and Bren jumped on his back, as they proceeded to go into the bathroom …..

Part 3

"Jason asked you to watch Jazz?"

"That's right."

"Why?"

"He said he wanted to have some alone time with you."

"Jason, said that? Jason, the man who doesn't have a romantic bone in his body."

"Yep. And I jumped at the chance to spend some time with my dumpling. It's been a long time since she stayed over."

"Where is Jason?"

"I don't know. I'm supposed to give you this." Margarite handed her a letter.

"What's this?"

"I don't know. Look, Jazz and I are leaving, there is fun to be had." Bren hugged Jazz, and they left."

She opened the letter, and she instantly smiled. Jason set her up with a spa day, at an exclusive salon, and a car would be picking her up. "I don't know what I did, but I must have done it right. Maybe it was the handcuffs- "*doorbell* Bren opened the door.

"Hi, I am Jose, and I will be your personal chauffeur."

"Ok, I'm Brenda, nice to meet you. Aaah, I just need to grab my purse…"

Bren had a glorious day at the salon. The service was to die for. She soaked in a mud bath for an hour. She got a facial and a massage. She was treated like a queen. Everybody was so professional and nice. She was having the time of her life.

After receiving her facial, Bren got her hair colored, by a master stylist. After getting her hair colored, she had a deep conditioning treatment put on her hair. While that was on, she decided to get a manicure and pedicure. There were two older women sitting on each side of her. Lady to the right. "Hello."

"Hi."

"I'm Evelyn."

"I'm Brenda."

"Treating yourself today?"

"Actually I can't take the credit, it was my boyfriend's idea."

"Good job boyfriend. If my husband sends me anywhere, it's because he wants to spend time with one of his women. It's ok, he's rich, and as long as I don't have to sleep with him, all is well." Bren laughed. "Are you meeting up later?"

"I don't think so, but I don't really know."

"Maybe or maybe not, just relax and enjoy it. Well nice meeting you, it's time for my facial."

"Nice meeting you too."

Bren has just finished with hair and makeup. Jose is waiting to take her to the next destination. Bren leaned back against the seat, she felt so relaxed. After a fifteen minute drive. Jose stopped at a boutique. "Why are we stopping?"

"This is the next stop."

"Ok." Jose opened her door, and she got out. Bren walked in. "You must be Brenda?"

"Yes."

"I'm Roberto, and you are gorgeous."

"Thanks, now I'm blushing. But, I don't understand-."

"You will. Let's get you dressed. Do you prefer long or short?"

'Short." A girl handed her a glass of wine, and lead her to the dressing room…..

Bren chose a short silver mini dress. She had a single diamond bracelet and diamond studded earrings.

Roberto looked her over. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks to you and the salon."

"Honey, you are gorgeous anyway."

"You are so kind. And thank you so much. I still don't know where I'm going."

"Honey, just enjoy yourself."

"Thanks again." She leaves. Jose opens the door, and Bren got back into the car.

"Where are we going?"

"I can't say."

"Ok, will Jason be there?"

"I can't say."

Bren sighed. "ok." About 45 minutes later they pulled up to Bren's favorite restaurant. Jose opened the door, and Bren got out. He walked her to the door.

"It looks closed. Why are the shades pulled down?"

Jose smiled at her. "Just go in."

"O..k." Bren walked in. There was a singled table, and there were candles everywhere. And there were just as many flowers. Bren walked slowly to the table.

"You look beautiful."

Bren turned, and saw Jason standing behind her. He was dressed in a black tailored suit. "You look gooood." She kissed him. "Jason, what is going on?"

"I just wanted to do something special for you."

"Yeah, but Jason this is all unreal."

"You don't like it."

"Like it, I'm speechless. How did you do this?"

"It took a lot of planning."

"I just can't believe, you did all of this for me."

"Believe it. Let's sit down." He lead her to the table, and they took a seat. A waiter comes out, and pours their champagne.

"Thanks." He leaves. "Jason, what has gotten into you? This is all too much."

"I just wanted to show you, how much you mean to me."

"Sweetheart, I already know, you didn't have to do this."

"I wanted to."

"This day has been un-real."

"Everyone treated you good?"

"Yes, everyone was great. Thank you so much." She leaned across the table, and kissed him. "I just don't know if I deserve all of this. Especially, after everything I've done, why would you want to do this for me?"

"Because I still love you, in spite of everything."

"I know you love me, but-."

"Let's dance."

"Ok." Jason stands, and takes her hand. They look into each other's eyes, as they dance to Adele's version of "Make you feel My Love."

"I love you."

"I love you too." She rest her head on his chest, as they sway back and forth. Jason kissed the top of her head. Bren looked up at him. "You're heart is beating so fast."

Jason smiled. "You make me nervous." Bren laughed.

"Are you hungry?"

"A little." They take their seat, and the waiter brings out their food.

"This looks good." They eat and talk. After finishing their dinner, the waiter brings out dessert.

She takes a bite. "Oooh, my goodness. This taste like heaven."

"Glad you like it."

'You picked out the food?"

"Yes, I met with the chef, about a week ago"

"Great choices." After finishing their meal, the chef comes out, and asks them if everything was ok. Bren compliments him, and tells him what a wonderful meal it was. They thank the staff and leave.

Jose opens he door, as they slide in the back of the car. Bren rest her head on his shoulder. "This has been the best day ever." Jason smiled. "Where are we going? Our apt is in the other direction."

"We're not staying there tonight."

"Ok." At this point, Bren is done asking questions, she is content with just being with him.

After some time, they pull up to a hotel. Jose opens the door, and they exit.

"We won't be needing you anymore tonight."

"Ok….Brenda, it has been a pleasure."

"Thank you so much Jose." Jason takes an envelope. out of the inside pocket of his jacket, and hands it to him. He leaves.

Bren and Jason make their way inside. They get on the elevator, and take it up to the top floor. They exit. They walk down the hall to the last room, and Jason unlocks the door. He lets Bren enter first. The room is covered in white roses. "Jaaason, it's beautiful. Baby, I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything."

"I honestly, don't know what I did to deserve this. But I'm so grateful."

"Are you happy?"

"Baby, I'm past happy. You've really outdone yourself." She pulls him into a kiss…

Bren is on the balcony. Jason comes out, and hands her a glass of champagne. "Thanks. Jason, are you trying to get me drunk? You don't have to, I'm a sure bet."

Jason smiled. "I'm not trying to get drunk."

"Damn. Did I tell you hot you look in that suit?"

"I think you did."

"Well if I didn't, you do."

"I wore it for you."

"Thanks." She leaned in, and softly kissed his lips. Jason grabs her and deepens the kiss. He took the champagne from her hand, and sat it on the table on the balcony. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and they enjoy the taste of each other. Jason looked down at her. "I want you."

"I want you too."

Jason picked her up, and took her back inside. He took her into the master bedroom, and sat her down on the bed. He removed each one of her shoes, kissing each foot, as each shoe came off. He slid the straps of her dress off her shoulder. He starts kissing her neck and collarbone. "You're so beautiful." He kissed her again. He then pulled her to her feet, and unzipped her dress, and it falls to the floor. He pulled her to him, and kissed her passionately. Bren breaks the kiss, and pulls his jacket off, and tossed it on the chair. She pulled at his tie. Jason eyes were on her, as she took his tie off. Before she unbuttoned his shirt, he grabbed her and kissed her again.

"Jason, let me undress you first." Jason blue eyes are filled with emotion. "Jason, what's wrong?"

"You just mean everything to me."

"You mean everything to me too, is something wrong?"

"Brenda, there's nothing wrong." She leans in and kisses him.

"Sweetheart, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you. You know that right?"

"Yes, I do."

She put her hand on his chest. "You're heart is beating so fast, I can feel it through your shirt. Are you nervous?"

"No."

"I've never seen you like this. I had a lovely time, everything was great. Sweetheart, Relax." She rubbed his cheek, and reached down and grabbed his hand, bringing it up to her lips and then she kissed it. "I want you so bad." She reached over and started unbuttoning his shirt from the bottom. She leaned in and kissed him, while still taking off his shirt. She removed his shirt. Jason grabbed her and pressed her body against his, as the kiss got deeper. He moved down to her neck. She reached down and unzipped his pants. He released her neck. Bren looked into his eyes. She leaned in and kissed him again. She moved down to his neck, but she kissed something. She opened her eyes.

"Jason, you're wearing a necklace. I've never seen you wear anything but a watch." He didn't say anything, he just looked at her. "Why is it backwards? I want to see it. Let me fix it." Brenda grabbed the necklace and pulled it around. "Jason, why do you have a…..ring….on….it?"

Bren looked up at Jason, and back at the ring. Jason reached up and unfastened the necklace, and took the ring off of it. All the color went out of Bren's face. "Jaason." She took a step back.

"Jaason are…..you….serious?" Jason grabbed her hand, and pulled her closer. Tears made their way down her cheeks, one after the other.

Jason took a deep breath. "Brenda, I love you. You mean the world to me. I never thought I could love anyone, the way I love you. You excite me, you frustrate me, you give me everything that I could ever need. You told me awhile back that you knew I didn't believe in marriage. Well you are wrong, Jason Morgan Quartermaine didn't believe in marriage, but he believes in marrying you, if you will have him. Jason's eyes filled with tears, and a single tear trickled down his cheek. He got down on one knee. "Brenda, I would love it, if you agree to spend the rest of your days letting me love you. Will you do me the honor of being my wife, for the rest of our lives?"

Bren got down on her knees, and wrapped her arms around his neck, and sobbed. Bren looked into his eyes. "Are you serious?"

"Yes."

She kissed him. "Jason, you could have left me a letter, telling me what church to meet you at. Of course I'll marry you." He grabbed both sides of her face and kissed her. He took the ring and slid it on her finger, as the tears ran down her face….
