A/N: Hey guys! I'm back! Sorry for the long wait on this chapter, but I should be able to write more, now that I've gotten used to things without my dad around. Thanks again for all of the reviews!! They make me happy!
Oh, another thing, since you have all waited so long for this new chapter, I have made it a little longer than the rest of my chapters have been.
~~~~~~~~~~Sonny's pent house
Carly and Michael had been sitting on the couch spending some quality time together when they heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Carly yelled, a little afraid that it might be Scott Baldwin paying one of his surprise visits to her and her family.
"It's Jason"
Carly's face brightened up when she realized that her best friend was outside of her door. "Oh Jase! Come on in!!" she said, the delight evident in her voice.
"Hey Carly, how are you feeling?" Jason asked her. He was worried that Carly's ordeal with Alcazar would have an impact on her baby's health, and he wanted to make sure that she was okay.
"Stop worrying! I'm fine, Michael's fine, and the baby is fine! The only that could make my life any better right now would be if Sonny could come home from the hospital and be with us." Carly told Jason.
"Sonny can't come home now and you know that. He needs to stay in the hospital for at least a week until he can be released. His left leg needs to heal from the shot wound," Jason reasoned.
"Yeah, I know. Well, if I can't have Sonny home, then I want Courtney back," Carly pouted. "You can't just leave her with Alcazar, you know. Lord only knows what he's going to try to do to her." Carly looked up into Jason's eyes and pleaded with him, "Come on Jase, you've gotta do something to get her back."
"You're right," was all that Jason said before he turned and walked out of the pent house. He was determined to get Courtney back at any cost.
~~~~~~~~~~Alcazar's place
"Don't argue with me, I know what's best for you." Alcazar said. "Now, I'm going to go into the kitchen and make us some breakfast. Don't you move a muscle."
Courtney was again left alone to her thoughts. She thought about how much Alcazar seemed to care for her. He seems like such a nice guy. Hmmm, then why do I keep feeling that something he's telling me isn't true?
Courtney decided to brush aside her thoughts for the moment and go take a shower. She walked into the spacious bathroom, with nothing but her baby blue bathrobe on, and preceded to turn on the warm water to the shower.
After waiting a few seconds for the water to warm up she stripped off her robe and stepped into the shower. She stood there with her head tilted back and let the warm water hit her satiny soft skin. She grabbed her Herbal Essence shampoo and washed her long blonde hair, thoroughly enjoying the wildflower scent that invaded her senses. Once Courtney was scrubbed clean, she reached for a towel and stepped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her body as she started to pat her hair dry.
Courtney stood in front of the mirror and ran a brush through her hair. When she was in mid-stroke with her brush a memory came flooding back to her.
She saw herself in a cute pink bikini, sitting on the beach of Sonny's island in the arms of a well-muscled man, watching the sun set on the horizon.
"Wow, this is so beautiful!" Courtney said to the mystery man with a huge grin on her face. "I'm so glad that we decided to take a break from everything and come to the island together!"
"Me too," the man said. "I love you Courtney, with all my heart."
Courtney then turned to look at this man who had just declared his love for her. "I love you too, Jason!" she said as the two leaned in for a long passionate kiss.
All of a sudden Courtney could see the mystery man's face clearly, and to her surprise it wasn't Lorenzo's. It was the man that had come into her hospital room a couple of days ago, and had pleaded for her not to go home with Lorenzo.
~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile in the kitchen with Alcazar
Alcazar was busy trying to fry up some eggs, pancakes, and toast. He was going all out to try and impress Courtney. He figured that if he could show Courtney a nice side of him while she was still suffering from amnesia, maybe by the time that she came around, she would chose to stay with him instead of going back to Jason.
"Of course she would want to stay with me, who wouldn't?" Alcazar said to himself. "After all, why would she want to settle for a second rate hit man when she could have me instead?"
With that snide remark the door to Alcazar's apartment burst open to reveal a very pissed off Jason. "Where is she? Tell me now!" he growled as he grabbed Alcazar by the throat and slammed him up against the wall.
Alcazar gave Jason one of his smirks, "Take it easy! What's wrong? Can't stand a little competition? Are you afraid that Courtney loves me and not you? Huh?"
"Where is she?!" Jason repeated as he pressed Alcazar into the wall even more.
~~~~~~~~~~In the bathroom with Courtney
Courtney couldn't believe it. Lorenzo had been lying to her this whole time! She began to wonder if a word that he had said to her was true. Courtney decided that she would deal with her newfound memory and Lorenzo later, that is after she finished brushing her hair, and was actually dressed to do so.
She finished brushing her hair and then walked into the room where she recalled that she had tried to seduce Lorenzo. She put a hand over her mouth as she felt as if she was going to be sick.
Taking a few breaths and telling herself to calm down, and she lost the bit of nausea that had come over her. She just couldn't believe that for the last couple of days, she had been in the same room and even kissed the man who had obviously been lying to her from the beginning.
As she moved to the closet to pick out an outfit to wear for the day, she head a clatter in the kitchen. With nothing but a towel wrapped around her slender body, she walked closer to the door and opened it up a crack so that she could hear what was going on.
Courtney was surprised to hear to male voices in the kitchen, instead of just Lorenzo. The two voices seemed to be arguing, and at the sound of the other man's voice, Courtney got an urge to run up to whoever it was and beg him to take her away from this place. But, remembering that she was in nothing but a towel, she walked back over to the closet, picked out a pair of jeans and t-shirt, and proceeded to get dressed.
~~~~~~~~~~In the kitchen
Alcazar just smirked at Jason as he was being held up against the wall. "Courtney is sleeping in the bed over in that room," he said as he nodded his head towards the room where Courtney was at the moment dressing. "In the bad that we just made sweet, sweet love in," Alcazar said with a huge grin on his face. Alcazar's lie had the effect on Jason that he had hoped it would.
"You're lying," Jason said as his grip on Alcazar began to lessen. A part of him believed Alcazar, after all Courtney did believe that she was married to the piece of shit that stood before him. But another part of him didn't want to accept the fact that Courtney, even without her memory of himself and their love, would sleep with anyone other than himself.
Alcazar saw the internal battle going on within Jason as he looked into the eyes of the hit man. He quickly swept his eyes across the kitchen counter and smiled when his eyes landed on a rather sharp knife that he had used to cut up the peppers that he had planned on using in the omelet that he was going to make Courtney.
Alcazar flashed Jason one of his cocky smiles, "What's the matter Morgan? Don't you believe me? Oh, you should. She was amazing! I understand why you would be willing to fight to get her back. Mmmm, she definitely knows how to please a man!"
Before Jason had a chance to react to what Alcazar had said and tighten his grip, Alcazar had slipped out of the pin that Jason had him. Alcazar didn't waste any time as he dove for the knife that was on the counter and he turned on Jason with it.
"And I thought that you were supposed to be the almighty hit man Jason! Ha! I guess not!" Alcazar sneered.
Alcazar's cockiness angered Jason, along with the claims that he had slept with his only love, Courtney. Jason stuck his hand inside his leather jacket and pulled out his gun.
Jason was about to shoot Alcazar in the head and end the asshole's pathetic life, when Courtney, now fully clothed, came out of the one room that Alcazar had pointed to, yelled out in surprise, "Jason?"
Courtney proved to be the distraction that Alcazar had needed, because as soon as Jason turned to look at Courtney, he lunged at Jason and stabbed him in his shooting arm. Once Jason had been stabbed, the gun that he was holding flew out of his hand and slid past Alcazar.
The shock and pain of being stabbed stunned Jason for a few seconds as he let his body lean against the wall and then slide to the floor.
"Oh my God!" Courtney screamed as she ran over to where Alcazar was standing over Jason, with a bloody knife in his hand. Courtney didn't want to risk getting hurt herself, so she decided that she would play it out like things were before she got some of her memories back.
"Lorenzo, are you okay?" Courtney asked in a concerned tone of voice while she looked over into Jason's eyes and nodded at him as if to say that everything was going to be alright.
With his back still to Courtney, Alcazar answered her. "Yes, I'm fine, Love. I was lucky enough to have been using this knife to make you an omelet when this goon broke into our home,"
Courtney crept a little closer up behind Alcazar, preparing to get a hold of Jason's gun when Alcazar began to turn around to face Courtney.
"You slimy son of a bitch!" Jason yelled from the floor to draw Alcazar's attention back towards himself and away from Courtney.
Relief flooded over Courtney as she picked up the gun as soundlessly as possible, and stood up behind Alcazar.
"What's wrong?" Alcazar said in mock concern. "Does your arm hurt?" After Alcazar made his nasty little comment he began to chuckle.
"You know," Courtney said to Alcazar, "You are a sick son of a bitch!"
Alcazar, a little surprised with Courtney's statement, turned around only to be surprised even more to see Courtney pointing a gun right at him. "Courtney, Honey, what's wrong?" Alcazar crooned.
"Yuck! Don't ever call me honey again! You lied to me!" she screamed, her grip on the gun getting even tighter. "You told me we were married! You told me that stupid story about how much we were in love and how we couldn't wait to be married! You lied every second we were together!"
Alcazar was puzzled. He just stood there dumbfounded until he realized that she must have her memory back. "I didn't lie to you! I do love you!"
"Shut up!" both Courtney and Jason said at the same time.
Courtney looked down at Jason, "Can you stand up? Do you need any help?"
"No, I can do it fine by myself. It was only my arm that got stabbed," Jason answered her as he stood up.
"Drop the knife," Courtney said to Alcazar and he did as he was told. At the moment Courtney was so angry that she was even scaring Jason with the look that was on her face.
Once Alcazar had dropped the knife Jason walked past him and jammed his elbow into Alcazar's face, causing Alcazar to go unconscious and his nose to start spurting blood.
"Jason," Courtney whispered, "Don't kill him."
Pain filled Jason as he realized that Courtney may really have feelings for Alcazar.
Courtney saw the pain in Jason's eyes, "No, I don't have feelings for him," she told him straight up. "It's a long story, and I'll be happy to tell you as soon as you get me out of this place."
Jason had a million questions that he wanted to ask her at the moment, but he decided that he could wait until he had her home and in his arms again.
