Chapter Twenty

"Dance with me?" Jason said softly as he stood and held out his hand to his wife.

"What? You don't dance." Elizabeth gasped in surprise.

"I do with you." he smiled as her hand slide into his.

"In that case I'd love to," she said as he helped her to her feet.

Jason had been annoyed when the owner had announced his marriage to the full restaurant. Then angry when he insisted they dance. He hated feeling as if his life was on display. But now as Jason held Elizabeth close none of that seemed to matter.

The only other time they had danced Elizabeth was trying to forget Lucky. This time it was just them. As they swayed to the music Jason's body began to react to having Elizabeth so close. "We should go," he said suddenly as he started to pull away from her.

"We haven't had dessert yet," she reminded him as they started back towards their table to get their things.

"Elizabeth we need to leave." Jason said firmly as he looked down at her.

"Okay." she agreed with a sigh.

"Thank you for understanding." Jason told her softly once they stepped outside into the cool night air and he could finally breathe again from the want that consumed him as he held his wife in his arms and felt her heart beat next to his.

Brenda was shocked to see Robin standing at the door. "Robin... you're... you're here. I didn't expect to see you."

"I know. After we talked I thought I might surprise you."

"Don't do this Robin. He's really happy." Brenda said with a sigh.

"Do what? I'm here to see you. And catch up with a few people of course."

"Robin..."

"This is not about Jason." the younger woman insisted.

"Okay. How long are you here for?" Brenda asked changing the question.

"A few weeks."

"You should go see Sonny then."

"I heard he was living with Carly of all people." Robin said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah. We've been talking." The other woman admitted.

"That's good."

"Yeah it is."

"You still love him." Robin pointed out.

"I don't know if we can work. Too much has happened between us."

"I think you should try. Maybe the time apart has been good for you." She said hoping that Brenda would see her side and help her.

"Maybe. I'm not angry anymore and neither is he."

"You're right. I should go see him. I'll talk to you later."

Brenda shut the door still stunned by the turn of events. Despite what Robin said, she knew the younger woman still had feelings for Jason. She hated that her heart was about to be broken.

"How was you're date?" Sonny asked as Jason and Elizabeth got off the elevator.

"Fine."

"Jason took me to the No Name and we danced." Elizabeth said happily.

"I'm glad you had a good time. I hate to ruin it but I need to speak with Jason." Sonny said regretfully.

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Elizabeth said as she went into their penthouse.

"What is it?" Jason asked coldly as he closed to door to Sonny's penthouse.

"Taggert is still sniffing around. He found someone who saw you at the rave."

"Damn it! That's going not good."

"No. It's not." The older man agreed.

"Any ideas?"

"There any chance he might be found?" Sonny questioned.

"None. I made sure." Jason reassured his boss.

"Then we wait. Taggert will trip up and do something stupid."

"Lucky may be a problem." Jason told Sonny as he ran a hand across the back of his neck.

"What did he do?" He asked his dark eyes narrowing.

"He cornered Elizabeth on the docks. He ended up grabbing her."

"Where was Johnny?" The older man demanded.

"Not far. He broke it when the punk grabbed her."

"So that's what he was doing tonight." Sonny said finally understanding the guard's earlier behavior.

"Yeah. Johnny insisted it be him."

"You know Taggert will haul you in."

Jason just shrugged. "Is that all?"

"Just one more thing. You danced with Elizabeth in public? How did that happen?" Sonny asked trying not to smirk.

"Jordan was there he told Moreno about Elizabeth. It was nice." Jason said softly.

Sonny saw the look on Jason's face. He was truly happy for his friend. "Go home. We'll deal with Taggert tomorrow."

Jason nodded he was eager to play pool with his wife as they had planned. The thought of holding her close made his heart speed up. As he shut the door to his penthouse, he heard the elevator ding. Jason assumed it was for Sonny and ignored it. "Honey I'm home."

"Funny." Elizabeth said coming down the stairs. She was now dressed in jeans and t-shirt. "Everything okay with Sonny?"

"I don't have to leave." Elizabeth immediately smiled at that. "He just wanted to check in."

"Good. I'm ready for my first lesson."

Sonny had just finished a call to Johnny when Marco opened the door to announce a visitor. "Who is it?"

"A Miss Robin Scorpio." Marco said uncertainly.

"Send her in." Sonny said with a smile.

"Hey Sonny. How are you?" Robin asked as they hugged.

"Good. I'm guessing Brenda told you about Jason."

"That's not why I'm here." Robin insisted.

"I hope not. He's happy." He warned.

"Brenda said that too. But is he really? How could he just move on? We didn't break up because we stopped loving each other." She pointed it. All she wanted was for someone to understand and be on her side.

"You betrayed him, Robin. Jason does not handle betrayal well. Believe me I know." Sonny knew personally how Jason dealt with betrayal.

"I still love him, Sonny. What do I do?" Robin asked as she started to cry.
