Chapter 4
Gia walked over to the table her brother was at and sat down. She noticed the look on Marcus' face and knew that he had seen her kiss Jason. Marcus stared at her for several minutes before saying anything.
"Was that Jason Morgan that you walked in with?" he asked.
"Yes," Gia said keeping her answer short to try to avoid an argument.
Marcus exhaled sharply. "Did... did I see you kiss him?"
Gia knew where he was headed with this, but she knew he wouldn't give up until she gave him an answer. "Yes, I kissed him. Not that it is any of your business."
"Your my sister and I love you. That makes it my business."
Gia rolled her eyes. "I love you too Marcus, but I don't need you to protect me from Jason."
"Why were you with him anyway? What happened to Cassadine?"
"Nikolas and I broke up."
"You did? That's great!" Marcus said with a smile.
"Well you don't have to look so happy about it," Gia said. Even though she was the one who decided to break up with him, she was still hurting.
"Gia, I'm sorry."
"It's ok," she said nodding.
"So what were you doing with Morgan?"
"I ran into him down at the docks. We started talking. We rode down to the lake on his motorcycle and…"
"Whoa! Wait a minute. Are you telling me you went someone alone with Jason Morgan?" Marcus asked looking angry and worried at the same time.
"Yes, we went to the lake. We had a lot to talk about Marcus. He understood how I felt. I had just broken up with Nikolas and he had just broken up with Elizabeth."
"That may be true, but I want you to promise me that you'll stay away from him."
"Stay away from… Now listen, I'm a grown woman. Who I date or don't date is my decision, not yours," she said growing angrier by the minute
"Gia…"
"No! Save it Marcus. This conversation is over. Gia stood up and stormed out of Kelly's.
