A/N – Thanks for the comments! I really appreciate them and I'm glad you're enjoying this fic. I'm so used to picturing OG Emily during this time, but I think I'll go with Natalia. I'm not the biggest fan, but it fits more. Sorry I'm late. Bad work day.
Chapter 12
Johnny sat outside of Kelly's staring at the enigma sitting across from him who is licking some foam off her lips and wonders how the hell he got sucked into her orbit so fast. Georgie Jones is too sexy and sweet for her own good. Thank God, she doesn't know how much power she wields, or he'd be in trouble.
Her nose scrunched. "What? Is something on my face?"
He grinned. "No. You're fine."
With a shrug, she took in her surroundings before groaning.
"What?"
He cocked his head to the side and then let out a small groan too.
"So, are you sleeping with Johnny to try and lure Dillon back? Because it's not going to work."
Georgie rolled her eyes. "Unlike you, I don't need to open my legs to get a man. Perhaps if you shut yours and that big mouth, Dillon wouldn't be running in the opposite direction."
The smirk quickly fades from Lulu's face and she goes on the attack. "Perhaps if you weren't such a cold fish in bed, Dillon wouldn't have turned to me."
Georgie started laughing and just couldn't stop which made Lulu fume.
"Shut up."
Georgie composed herself and glanced at Johnny. "You ready to go?"
"Yes."
They stood. "You know, if I were so bad in bed, then why is Dillon still begging to get back with me? I mean if you were so talented, I don't think he'd already look elsewhere. God knows the only way he can get you to shut up is to stick—"
Johnny groaned as his hand swallowed Georgie's sentence as he dragged her backward and Lulu just stood there, red as a beet with her jaw hanging down as several people snickered.
Once they were in the alley, Johnny lowered his hand, and Georgie bit her lip before making a face and blushing. "Too much?"
He laughed. "What am I going to do with you?"
When she gave him a wicked smile, he cracked up again.
"Oh, Georgie, you—there are no words."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
The whole meal, Liz kept squirming as Jason openly perused her. Knowing that he's getting to her, he continued his little game and decided to kick it up a few notches.
"Elizabeth?"
"Hmm?" she said trying not to look up at him. The need to jump him is just too great. He had awakened something inside her that she couldn't define, but it feels amazing.
"I need to know something. Look at me."
Her head slowly rose. "Yes?"
"Did you and Lucky fool around a lot?"
A slight groan left her lips. "Um, it took me a while, to you know, get over what had happened. I felt guilty when I was unable to—do it, so I learned how to please him in other ways."
She couldn't get any redder as she averted her gaze.
"Did you like it?"
Her head jerked up as her body heated. "After a while, he said I was good at it."
"That's not what I asked."
She shrugged. "It was okay." She was more awkward back then and just wanted to please him.
"Did he reciprocate?"
Her fork dropped and he swore her eyes started to cross. "Down there?"
Jason nodded.
She shook her head.
He had to fight a smirk as his eyes darkened. "Okay." He will certainly be going down there hopefully soon.
Her shoulders began to relax.
"Does it bother you talking about sex?"
"I—a little. Why aren't you bothered?"
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. I enjoy it."
He watches for her visual cues as she nodded and seemed to relax. "Would it help if I explain more or ask permission?"
A slight smile edged onto her face. "I'll try to ask. I don't want you to hold back for me."
"Yes, you do."
The sheer intensity and sexual innuendo that lingered made her body tremble.
"Jason?"
"Yeah."
"Now I know why you are dangerous."
He laughed. "Trust me, I don't have these kinds of conversations with anyone else." For so long, he had hated communicating with people. Even someone touching him would make him cringe. It was just easier to grunt or nod, but Elizabeth makes him want to engage and it feels foreign but good. Besides, if talking more is going to get him more kissing time, he'll gladly make the sacrifice.
She giggled at the thought. "Thank you."
"For what?"
"Making this feel so safe."
Leaning forward, he grabbed her hand. "If you ever don't feel safe, just say Uzbekistan, and I'll stop."
She cracked up. "Seriously? I can barely say that without you clouding my mind with your kisses."
He grinned. "You pick the safe word then."
She thought for a moment and then smiled. "Harley…"
"That will do."
She stood as a smirk lit up her face and he knew he was in trouble. "Last one to the living room has to clean up," she said along the way to the door. Turning as he shook his head she said, "Have fun…"
"Unbelievable," he muttered as he gathered their dishes while her laughter still hung in the air.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Dillon stared at Lulu from across the room. How did he get into this mess? Oh yeah, there were tears and sobbing, and then she was on her knees and the next thing he knew, he was shouting her name, but it wasn't worth it.
"I was thinking that maybe we could get away for the weekend."
"Lulu…"
"I think a change of scenery would be good."
If he leaves, then that will give Johnny more time to make a move on with his girl.
"I'm sorry, but I can't right now."
Lulu sighed. This is going to be harder than she thought. Moving closer, she yanked off her top and pushed her chest out. "Let's make love."
He sighed heavily. She is not the person he wants.
When tears prick her eyes, he relents. To Lulu, it doesn't matter that he had called out Georgie's name the last time and didn't even realize it, because it's just a habit. Soon, he'll forget about her and that's all that matters.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Elizabeth called Georgie to check on her. "It's Elizabeth, what's going on?"
She opened the door to Johnny's apartment and flipped on the light. He'll be home later. "I'm fine."
"You haven't killed them yet?"
"Oh, trust me, I've had some delicious fantasies about it."
Liz giggled. "How are the living arrangements going?"
"Honestly? I don't want to leave. My apartment is back too normal, but I feel so safe here."
"I get it."
Georgie grinned. "Mac got him hauled to the station."
Liz groaned. "How bad was it?"
"I furiously stormed in there and when Mac asked what Johnny meant to me, I plopped on Johnny's lap and laid one on him."
Liz laughed. "Oh, my God! Did Mac shoot him?"
"Nope. I kissed him again in the elevator. He's so hot. When he's around, it's like Dillon who?"
"Johnny is great." She loves his sense of humor and he always came into Kelly's wearing a smile.
"He wants to take it slow to give me time to get over Dillon. To be honest, it won't be hard. I'm so disgusted with him. I mean seriously, who would ever choose that shrew over me?"
"Are you sure Dillon isn't doing drugs?"
"I have no idea. It would explain his lack of brain cells though."
Liz's mind is churning. "What if she is drugging him."
Georgie sighed. "Honestly, it wouldn't change anything for me. You can't be high every minute and he said some pretty lousy things when we argued. I deserve better than that."
"You do."
"How are you and Jason?"
Liz grinned. "We—something happened, and he thought I was hurt when I wasn't and then he kissed me. It was incredible and we're together." They hadn't defined it but it's a reasonable assumption.
"I'm so happy for you."
"He's such a beautiful person. The way he listens and makes me feel so—"
"Sexy?"
Liz blushed. "Yes. He is just a whole other level of hotness. Just the way he says my name is swoon-worthy."
"You've got it bad."
"I do and it just feels right."
Georgie plopped onto the couch. "I don't feel nineteen at all."
"Me either." There has been so much darkness in her life, that she feels ancient. What she loves about Georgie is that she's so light and sweet, and Liz loves the cute outfits she wears since she hasn't felt comfortable wearing things that are even a little revealing since the rape. Even though Georgie's parents abandoned her, Mac loves her and took care of her like she was his own. Grams was great but having a father figure in her life might have made things different.
"I have so many dreams, you know?"
"Me too."
"Did I tell you that Ruby is selling the diner?"
Liz's jaw dropped. "What?"
"I know. It won't be the same without her, but she wants to travel. I can't blame her."
"True. Has anyone offered to buy it?"
Georgie chuckled. "Remember when Tammy's ex passed away?"
"Yeah. The one that she said didn't have a pot to piss in?"
The girls laughed. Tammy is a hoot.
"Yup. Well, he had put her on a rather large life insurance policy. She's going to make Ruby an offer."
"That's fantastic."
"You want to know what else?"
"What?"
"You'll never guess who she has a crush on."
Liz tapped her finger on her lip and then slowly smiled. "Francis Corelli?"
Georgie gasped. "How did you know?"
"Her hips sashay a lot more when he's in the diner."
Georgie cracked up. "I can't believe you noticed that."
"I can't help it. Sometimes, Francis's head would tilt when he spotted it."
"Tammy has a great body, and her sassiness is awesome."
"Okay, we need to make that happen. Francis is great."
"I can't believe all of us could potentially be dating mob guys."
Liz chuckled. This is going to be fun.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Jason moved into the villa. "Why are you smiling?"
"I just got off the phone with Georgie."
"Is everything okay?" Johnny hadn't called him, so he assumed she was fine.
"Yes. They kissed."
Jason groaned. "Did she wash her mouth out afterward?"
Liz cracked up. "You are ridiculous."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
He tugged her closer. "Forget Georgie—need kisses."
She laughed. "That is the most romantic thing you've said to me today."
He smirked. "I missed you."
He has the sweetest but sexiest expression on his face. "Kiss me, Jason."
And he did—thoroughly.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
Dillon shoved some cash into a man's hands. Money has never been a struggle for him. Not only does he have a trust fund, but any money he gets from Edward or his mom he squirrels away. "I don't want her hurt." He hates that it has come to this, but if he doesn't do something soon, Georgie might end up with Johnny. She is his first love and he's not ready to let her go.
"She won't be. I'll give her the message."
Dillon nodded and then moved through the park, unaware that Lulu had followed him, giving her all the ammunition, she needs to make him stay if necessary. A million thoughts are running through his mind. When Georgie realizes how dangerous Johnny's life is, she'll come back to him. He's sure of it.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi
The next day, Elizabeth is walking along the beach with Enzo trailing. It's a beautiful day and she's going to miss this slice of heaven. They are leaving late morning the next day. Jason had a few business dealings to take care of, so she had decided to take a stroll. Even though he's not there, he took care of her and had a large-brimmed hat delivered so she wouldn't burn. It has been the happiest week she has had since Lucky died, so leaving is going to be hard. Port Charles is full of enemies, judgment, and bad memories. Shaking off the sadness that her grandmother hadn't even left a message, she focused on the beautiful ocean and let it go. A family doesn't have to be blood. While it hurts that she can find no solace in hers, her friends mean the world to her. They are her family now. Smiling, she giggled as the memories of the last few days trickled through her mind. Somehow, she will find a way to make Jason go faster with the intimacy because she is about to burst. It's crazy that she is more the aggressor at this point considering her background, but the way he looks at her so intensely and passionately just makes her want more. Stopping, as one last thought pierced her head, she gasped. "I'm already in love with Jason."
"Well duh," Enzo said giving her a hip check, so she moved into the water.
"Hey!" She laughed as she chased him.
Jason chuckled as he watched as Elizabeth caught up with Enzo when he tripped and then jumped on his back. He spun in a circle making her grab her hat as she screamed. Maybe he'll see if Enzo wants to come to Port Charles for a while. Sonny's gonna want Max and Francis on him, so maybe Enzo and Johnny can switch on and off for a while. He's also considering Marco who is a little older than Enzo and has proven himself already.
Elizabeth pushed Enzo into a wave and took off running toward Jason who she doesn't see yet. Her hat is so big that she can't tell where Enzo is, and he easily catches her and lifts her off her feet, and spins her as Liz cracks up. She's happy, and it makes Jason feel good that he has some part in it.
"Do you always carry your charges around?"
"Nope…"
"Are you going to throw me into the water?" The ridiculous hat is making it so she can't see his face or most of her surroundings.
"Yup."
She squeals as he pretends to toss her once and then, he did the motion again, but this time, she screamed when he lets go and she is in the air. "Enzo!"
He laughs as she groans when she feels like she hit a wall.
Opening her eyes, she grins when she recognizes his muscles. Taking off the hat, she eyed an amused Jason. "Hey!"
"Hey."
"Can you put Enzo on a time out?"
Enzo chuckled. "He'll have to catch me first." He took off toward the villa leaving them alone.
Jason placed her at the water's edge. "Having fun?"
"I was until I thought I was going to get drenched."
He smiled. "What do you think about Enzo coming back with us?"
"I would love that. He's great. Besides, I think he and Emily would be really cute together."
Jason looks like someone punched him in the gut.
"What?"
"Emily is still in high school."
"She just turned eighteen and is graduating in a few months. He can wait."
He shook his head. "That is—hell no."
"I thought you liked Enzo."
"I do which is why I don't want to have to kill him."
She pushed his arms and pouted. "Don't say that. I would miss him. She has to date, someone. Wouldn't it be better if it's someone nice you can trust?"
"No. I'm locking her in her room."
"Well, you didn't kill Juan when he was around."
"Doesn't mean I didn't want to." He hated that little punk.
She shook her head when he started walking away. "Jason Morgan! Where are you going?"
"To shoot Enzo," he said over her shoulder.
She gasped and took off, and when she'd get too close, he darted ahead.
"Come back here!"
"Nope. Must protect Emily..."
"Jason!" She is laughing as he finally slowed and allowed her to jump onto his back.
"What were you planning on doing to stop me?"
She smirked as he continued to give her a ride. "I was going to blackmail you with the picture of the shorts. I'm sure Edward would love—"
Before she could finish, he let her go and she stumbled backward and then landed on her butt in the sand.
"Jason! I can't believe you did that."
He couldn't turn around to look at her because he was laughing. "I can't believe you threatened me with those shorts. That's almost unforgivable, Elizabeth."
She snorted. "I'll show you unforgivable…" She got up and chased him back to the house, doubling over when she got to the door. "Why do I feel so out of shape?"
Enzo chuckled.
"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Jason asked.
Enzo nodded.
As they walked away, Elizabeth yelled, "If he tries to show you his gun, run!"
"Do I want to know what she means?" Enzo asked.
Jason shook his head. There is no way he wants to put thoughts of his sister in Enzo's mind. "Listen, would you be interested in coming back with us? You get along with Elizabeth and I'd like to give you a promotion. She needs another guard, and I think you'll do a good job."
"She's great. I would be honored."
They shook on it. Recently, they started training a few new men here, so Sonny won't mind. They can find someone else to watch over the grounds.
"Go home and settle things. We're staying in, so just be here around 10:00 tomorrow."
"Sounds good -later."
