Jason escorted Sam back to the limo that Sonny had sent. He was sad that Robin was gone but he was also relieved. He needed to know she was safe so he was free to concentrate on things here. Plus he wanted this situation resolved so he could be free to move things forward between them. He was thinking that they should go away just the two of them when she returned. He wanted to sit back and think about how that would go but he knew he could not. He had work to do.
"You said earlier that you had an interesting meeting this morning." Jason said once they were in the car.
Sam looked a bit surprised. She should have known he wouldn't have forgotten. "Creole called me this morning and asked me to meet him at the docks. He said that after your last conversation he was afraid you would shoot the messenger."
Jason nodded. "I threatened him. I told him I would kill anyone who withheld information from me on Jerry Jacks."
"Why?" Sam asked surprised. Jason had always liked Creole. "I thought he left Sonny's organization on good terms."
"He did. His dad died and his uncle was sick so he went back to Louisiana to take care of his mom. I respected that. He even called to clear it when he took up with a new organization down there. He came back to New York last year when his Mom moved out west to live with a sister. He went to work with one of Sonny's business partners. He is solid with us."
"I met him at the docks this morning like he asked. He started asking around once he found out Jerry was after Robin. Apparently he is very protective of Robin."
Jason simply nodded so Sam continued. "He says he has it on good authority that Jax is coming back from the island to meet with Jerry tomorrow night at the house."
Jason swore. He didn't do it very often but Jax tended to have that affect on him. He told the driver to take Sam to her office. Jason had decided to spend his day at the restaurant office he shared with Sonny. He would work until he was too tired to think and then get a few hours sleep. He really wanted to be holding Robin in his arms and using his lips to explore her body. He shook his head. It was time to focus on work now.
The next morning Sam was at her office reviewing more footage. She was checking for lookouts or anything to suggest that Jerry Jacks was working with someone. This time at least the part of him and Robin in the park wouldn't be such a shock to her.
Jason was at the restaurant working. He looked up as the guard knocked on the door. "Boss you better come out here." He heard Marco say.
He had no idea what he expected to see when he stepped outside the office door. But what he did see certainly shocked him. There in all her beauty with a wide beautiful smile and very inviting lips was Robin Scorpio. He stared for a moment taking it all in. Once he was sure he wasn't dreaming he silently motioned her into his office and instructed the guards that absolutely no one was allowed in under any circumstances and he shut the door.
Here it comes Robin thought as she watched Jason shut the door. He was being so careful in his movements. She knew he was angry but was determined not to show it so he was slowly shutting the door. She tried to hide the smile, to make her face blank right now. She just couldn't. She was glad to be back, to be near him again.
"You are supposed to be in London getting ready for speaking engagements." Jason began calmly as he sat next to her in one of the client chairs.
She nodded. "I couldn't leave you. I tried. I had to come back and be with you."
"I need you to be safe Robin and that…" Jason stopped as Robin came and sat on his lap and put a finger to his lips.
"I have been exposed to this business most of my life Jason." Robin told him quietly but intently. "I learned a lot from my step-father about this business like stepping out of the room when business is discussed, never answer your phone, and absolutely never ask questions."
Jason started to shake his head but Robin forged ahead anyway. "When we were together I got used to guards and the need for security. It doesn't seem strange to me anymore. We have to do our best to protect Emma but I won't run from you or your life. I love you and I love being with you. I spent the entire flight thinking about us. I love you. All of you."
Could he really be hearing what he thought he was hearing? Was it fair to ask that of her? His life was hard and it wore down most of the women he had been involved with. He didn't want to lose her again.
His thoughts were interrupted as she kissed him intently. His response was immediate and passionate. He wanted her and would never deny it again.
"Where is Emma?" Jason asked as he pulled away from Robin's kiss.
"My parents got my message and since they were finishing a case they met the plane in London. They are keeping her until I call and say it is safe."
"They can't be happy about you coming back here." Jason told her as he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. "Your mom didn't seem fond of me the time I met her."
Robin laughed. "My mom isn't the one in love with you. I am."
Just then the office door opened and Sonny came in. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Robin. Then he smiled widely flashing his dimples.
"You are always a beautiful sight." Sonny told her as she got up and hugged him.
"I wasn't expecting her to come back." Jason told Sonny with a smile. Sonny noted that Jason smiled a lot more when Robin was around and that was a good thing.
Robin returned to Jason's side and slid her hand in his. "I told you once a long time ago that I would always come back."
Jason nodded remembering. "I promise I will always be waiting."
Sonny watched his two friends for a moment. It was like watching his family deciding to stay together and work things out. It was a very special feeling.
"You two get out of here. I will handle business today." Sonny told them cheerfully.
Jason looked at him for a moment and then nodded. "I'll take you up on that. I'd like to spend the day with Robin." Jason took Robin's hand and they headed out the door. He stopped for a moment and told her and Sonny, "I have to work tonight."
Sonny nodded. He wouldn't say anything about it in front of Robin but it was good that Jason was still focusing on Jerry. He decided to stay out of the issue of her safety right now. He was sure Jason had already discussed it with her.
Jason held the door to the restaurant open for Robin. "What should we do?"
Robin smiled. "A ride on your bike would be fun."
He pulled her in for a hug. "When this situation is resolved would you like to go away with me?"
"I would love to." She told him as she smiled up at him. Robin circled her arms around Jason's neck and pulled him down to kiss her.
When the kiss ended Jason took Robin's hand as they walked to his bike.
"Where would you like to go?" he asked as he held her hand so she could climb on.
"Montauk." They both smiled and remembered the special time they had when they were there so many years ago.
