Reflection

The sun bathed down in all of its glory on the magnificent beach that seemed to stretch for miles, it was strange that only one solitary figure donned the beach. In a magnificent two-piece bikini leaving very little to the imagination Katherine Merteuil had her round sunglasses set up on the bridge of her nose and an exotic cocktail in her right hand. She sighed in contentment, this was the life, no worries, no troubles, and enough money to keep her in the high life for another ten years.

Taking a sip from it she smiled and relaxed once again, however just as she was about to drop off to sleep a shadow covered the sun, "Ms Jenson?"

"Yes," Kathryn opened her eyes annoyed at the interruption, "is there anything else you would like?" the man that was currently looking after her needs adjusted nervously under her watchful eyes, her face was set in a scowl.

"No!" she lay back down, "jut send the car to pick me up in a half an hour."

"Yes ma'm," he left swiftly not wanting to hang around in case she decided to fire him, she'd already fired four helpers for annoying her.

Kathryn smiled once again under the sunlight, but it didn't last, her thoughts kept on wandering back to Jase who was still back in New York. She didn't know what had happened after she had left but still…the choice to leave Jase behind had not been an easy one but life never was easy. They'd been forced to take him to the hospital and after they had Kathryn slipped away unnoticed and caught her plane to Thailand. Her mind kept telling her not to think about it and that made a whole lot of sense, instead she chose to remember the good times, laughing at the look on Jases face when he was given his new clothes, feeling safe in his arms, sex with Jase.

Sighing she stood and decided to go for a walk, she may have left Jase behind…but he would always be with her. He had a special place in her heart, next to Sebastian and next to her old life.

---------------------------------------

Jase entered his new apartment and tossed the keys onto the table, after the first couple of months he'd been a suspect in the killing of Dylan but eventually they decided that he just got caught up in some sort of gang dispute, even though it was a rarity in New York these things still happened.

He had known about Kathryn's departure way before he was discharged from hospital, it was pretty obvious considering that she hadn't visited in months. Apparently the stitch up job by Eliza wasn't very professional and she just made up the excuse that she was trying to keep the blood in which earned her a very stern talking to from doctors and nurses.

Swiveling his head when the sound of the door opening reached his ears he smiled when Eliza entered carrying little Jack, "Hey, how was your day."

She huffed, "Terrible, he wouldn't stop crying at the café, I think he was missing you," he smiled and sat down on the couch.

"Who wouldn't," she made a face and lay Jack in his crib before going to sit next to him, "I am a very loveable guy," they shared a kiss. Eliza had broken up with her respectable guy after Jack had been born due to the fact that he couldn't handle being a dad.

It didn't take long for them to hook up and now he was pretty happy, he didn't bear a grudge to Kathryn, she had shown him things that he would've never dreamed of. Now he had a stable job, a girlfriend who he loved and was depending on him to look after her son. "You okay?" she asked him when they broke the kiss.

He grinned, "Yeah I'm good."

"Just good?"

Jase nodded, "Yeah, just good."
