By the time that he had finished she simply stared back at him with
eyebrows still raised. The things that men did for the love of Brenda
Barrette. She couldn't even begin to comprehend it. She still remembered
the way Sonny Corinthos and the man before her had went back and forth with
the constant battle of who would have her. She knew the pain that had
consumed him when he thought that Brenda had married Sonny only for her to
have been stood up at the altar. That was the beginning of another chaotic
situation. She knew that Jax believed that that was his opportunity to be
Brenda's ultimate hero, to come to her rescue and win the competition that
had went on for far too long. But in her heart she believed that it was
Sonny's way of throwing in the towel even though he had already won the
match. She knew what Brenda wanted and so did Brenda and maybe even Sonny.
They all knew who she would choose if she had a choice to make; everyone
knew except maybe the man before her. He still thought that Brenda's heart
would belong to him in the end. That she would see just how great he was
compared to Sonny. But she understood the heart better now and she realized
that sometimes the heart doesn't always want what's good for it, sometimes
it wants the one thing that it can't have.
She sighed trying not to let her thoughts become the dialogue. "So Sonny saved your life?" She asked.
Jax frowned. "He saved Brenda. I just happened to be in the way." He replied.
She shook her head. "Good thing that you were, or you might be dead. So this Luis Alcazar guy. he uh took care of her while she was away?" She asked emphasizing the word away.
This time Jax shook his head. "Yeah."
"So she pretended to be dead for the past four years?" She asked still trying to understand and put the pieces together to make it all make sense. She wanted to be objective and reasonable something that others in this town weren't always able to do.
"She was trying to save the people that she cared about from having to watch her go insane. She has her mother's disease." He said somberly.
"So she just handed her whole life over to someone that she didn't know because she figured it's better to look crazy in front of a stranger than someone that loves you?" It was more of a statement than a question. She smiled crookedly. "Well if that was my reasoning I suppose that I would want to go off and die alone as well. So why is she still here?" She asked bluntly.
"She's. well this is going to sound interesting but she's become my physical therapist." He sputtered out looking at her questionable stare. "Don't go there. It's not like that." He said ready to defend himself but she put her hands up in mock surrender.
"Oh please don't feel the need to explain." She fought her laughter trying to remain focused. "I just have one question: What does your wife think about all of this? I mean I seem to recall reading about your wedding didn't I?"
Jason rode his bike until finally he ended up at Kelly's. He didn't know why he was here. That was a lie. He knew why he was here: because he couldn't stay away from her.
I can't be near you.
Truth be told he didn't want her to be able to stay away from him. He liked the way she made him feel. She was honest and took everything that he offered even when he didn't know that he was giving. He could feel his heart thump around in his chest as he approached the glass door. He peered inside and saw her leaning over to place a plate in front of a paying customer. Her blond hair pulled back away from her face. She was smiling. If only he could read lips, he thought to himself. Why was he doing this? Why was he standing outside watching her when he knew that he couldn't have her? Because he was torturing himself, it's what he always did like some sick sadistic pattern. He did it with Carly, and Elizabeth and now he was doing it with her. Just let her go. He sighed about to turn and leave when she looked up and he froze. She stopped laughing and turned to the door and their eyes met.
She had been thinking about him all day. His face, his eyes, the way his lips felt on hers in the midst of the pouring rain.
That can't happen again
It won't.
That kiss had brandished her mouth forever. As long as she lived she would never be able to put that kiss out of her mind. The way his hands reached out and gently fingered her cheeks, she swore she had been burned with a scarlet J. Everything from that night was forever embedded in her memory even the way his eyes stared into her. They didn't bore but simply searched her almost caressing her without even touching. She would feel it from miles away or even now. now. He was staring at her right now and she turned and there he was.
