Realizing what she had just said, Courtney quickly covered it up by saying, "He's like my best friend. We sort of just got caught up it the moment. It's nothing, really." Courtney put on the best convincing smiled that she could muster up.

Penny nodded, understanding, "I understand. That's happened to me too." She picked up a pot of coffee and walked away.

Courtney breathed a sigh of relief. Did she really love Jason still? Courtney shook her head. She couldn't still love him; she was married to a great guy.

~*~

Jason looked in the window of Kelly's and sighed looking at her. He couldn't believe that he had almost kissed her. He needed to stay away from her, after all, she was a married woman. He couldn't spend his time chasing after her.

Jason shook his head. He wasn't still in love with Courtney. He couldn't be. Walking towards his bike, Jason thought that now was a good time to take a ride.

Later that evening:

Courtney sat at the bar of Luke's as she waited for Carly and Sonny. Smiling at Luke, she said, "How's everything going?"

Luke put on a charming smile, "Well, hey there, little lady! I'm doing just fine! What about you?"

Courtney shrugged, "I'm doing really well, Luke."

Luke nodded and asked, "How about a martini on me?"

Courtney laughed and nodded, "That sounds good, but you really don't have to pay for it! I'll pay."

Luke shook his head, "Nope. When I see a lady I like, I go for it and buy her a drink!"

Courtney rolled her eyes and smiled brightly, "I don't think Laura would like it too much. She might get a little jealous." Courtney winked at Luke.

Luke smiled, "Well, no one comes before Laura. Hate to burst your bubble!" Luke gave her the martini and winked flirtatiously, "Now, when are you going to give my son a date? I'd sure like to have a lovely lady like you to wed my cowboy."

Courtney showed Luke her left hand and grinned, "I'm married, Luke. Sorry!" Luke always asked her that question.

Luke gave a huge chuckle and nodded, "Oh well! Thought I'd try!"

"Bartender!" yelled a man from the other side of the bar.

Luke turned to the customer and nodded. Turning back to Courtney, he smiled and charmingly said, "It's been a pleasure, Mrs. Quartermaine!" Courtney nodded and Luke went to the other customer.

Smiling to herself, Courtney checked her watch and wondered what was taking Carly and Sonny so long. She shrugged and took a sip of her drink.

Sonny and Carly entered Luke's dressed nicely for the occasion. Carly smiled at the blues music coming from the jukebox and whispered to Sonny, "Did I ever tell you that I loved to dance to blues music?"

Sonny gave her a dimpled grin and nodded, "Plenty of times." Wrapping an arm around her waist, he spotted Courtney sitting at the bar. Pointing for Carly to see her, Sonny led the way.

Courtney felt someone tap her on the shoulder and she turned around. Her face broke into a smile as she jumped out of her chair, "Carly! Sonny! I'm glad you two could make it!" She hugged each one.

Carly pulled out of the hug, "Sorry we were late. Leticia came for Mikey a little later than we expected her."

Courtney shook her head, "No, it's fine. I was chatting with my good friend Luke!"

Sonny grinned, "Glad to hear you weren't too bored." Sonny looked around for Jason, but couldn't find him.

Courtney followed Sonny's eyes and turned around. She looked at Sonny and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Sonny shrugged, "Someone else is meeting us here. He's my best friend."

"Oh, you'll love him!" Carly exclaimed and added, "Hopefully more than you love your husband!"

Courtney rolled her eyes and warning said, "Carly."

Carly nodded, "I know, I know! Let's get a table!"

Sonny led them to an open table and together they talked quietly for awhile. Sonny kept glancing towards the door wondering where Jason was. Carly was starting to get worried too. Courtney, noticing their worried glances, smiled reassuringly, "I'm sure he'll be here."

Carly nodded and rubbed Sonny's arm to calm his nerves, "She's right, Sonny. Hearing about how beautiful Courtney is, he probably wanted to dress up really nice." Carly winked at Courtney. Sonny and Courtney laughed.

Jason opened the door to Luke's and quickly looked for Sonny and Carly. He checked his watch and cursed for being late. Taking a deep breath, he unbuttoned the top button of his dress shirt. Spying Sonny and Carly, he walked over to the table.

Sonny saw Jason walking towards the table and smiled, "Glad you could make it, man."

Jason nodded, "Sorry it took me so long. I forgot about the dinner. I was taking my bike out for a ride."

Carly eyed Jason and knew something was wrong, "You okay?"

Jason nodded, "I'm fine."

There was something familiar about that voice to Courtney. It was like she had heard it somewhere. Turning to look at the owner, she was shocked to see it was Jason!

Jason looked at the blonde that had just turned around. His eyes widened as he recognized her face. It was Courtney! Courtney was Sonny's sister?

Sonny smiled, not catching the shocked expressions on each face. Pointing to Courtney, Sonny said, "This is my sister-,"

"Courtney?"

"Jason?"
