Chapter 3
An hour later, Jason stood up. "Are you ready to head back into Port Charles?"
"Yes, I should be getting back. I'm supposed to meet my brother at Kelly's Diner ," Gia said standing up. "Thank you for bringing me here."
He nodded. "You're welcome to come back here anytime you want."
She smiled at him. "Thank you." She knew she wouldn't want to come back here without him. It wasn't the place that seemed special, it was having him there to share it with.
Jason took her hand and helped her back up the incline. He climbed onto his motorcycle and waited for her to settle herself behind him. Gia put her arms around his waist as he started the bike. He pulled out onto the road and headed for Port Charles.
A short while later, Jason parked his bike and walked Gia to Kelly's. Gia looked in the window and saw her brother Marcus sitting at a table. His back was to the window. Jason held the door open for her. She went in, but stopped just inside the door.
"Thank you for the ride," she said. She didn't know why, but she was reluctant to say goodbye to him.
"You're welcome," Jason said. He was looking for a way to delay her leaving. He found himself wanting to kiss her, but he didn't since he wasn't sure how she would react.
"I'll see you around," Gia said. She turned to walk over to her brother's table, but stopped. She turned back to Jason and kissed him gently on the cheek. "Bye," she said with a smile.
Jason stood there in amazement with his hand on his cheek where she had kissed him. He hadn't expected her to do that. He walked back to his motorcycle feeling much better than he had before the trip to the lake.
