Chapter 15: Danger's Brewing
Sonny stared for a moment between the two. He was speechless. Him and Carly had talked about Jason and Courtney getting back together, but he never actually thought they would. He felt something in his stomach. Was it anger? No, it was too light. Was it sadness? No. Then, he knew; he was happy for his sister and he was happy for Jason.
Sonny saw the connection between the two from day one even when he confused about their relationship in the past. He saw the way Jason looked at Courtney, with such care. He saw the way Courtney's eyes lit up at the mention of Jason's name and the happiness shining through when she looked into his eyes. He saw real happiness, that genuine kind of happiness that only true love and family could bring to one's eyes. He saw it all and he was happy.
Courtney waited with baited breath. What was Sonny thinking about? Why hadn't he answered? She turned back to Jason and asked with her eyes what was going on, but Jason was calm, like he already knew what Sonny was going to say. Jason just smiled at Courtney and suddenly everything was all right for Courtney. She felt at ease standing there, waiting for Sonny to say something, because miraculously, she felt the connection between brother and sister washing over her. Turning her eyes back to his, she saw into his soul. He was happy, happy for them.
Jason watched Courtney and Sonny's relationship escalate to a different level and smiled. He saw the roots of the two starting to show and saw their brother and sister connection deepen. He wasn't worried about what Sonny was going to say because he already knew. He knew Sonny was going to accept them; he could tell by the look in Sonny's eyes.
Sonny's lips curled into a smile and gathered his sister in his arms, "I'm so happy for you, Courtney."
Courtney pulled out of the hug with tears shining brightly in her eyes, "Do you really mean that Sonny? Do you really accept that I'm with Jason?"
Sonny nodded happily, "Of course I accept. Be happy Courtney, that's all I've ever wanted for you." Suddenly, his face turned serious and he said, "But, you know, Jason's life is dangerous and I can't promise you that you won't be in danger."
Courtney nodded, "I'm okay with that, Sonny."
Sonny shook his head, "No, you don't understand. Since you're my sister and Jason's girlfriend, you're going to be in twice the danger, do you understand me?"
Courtney looked into Sonny's eyes, "But it's worth it, Sonny. I'm happy and in love. I can't promise you that I know exactly what type of danger I'm in, or what this life is going to be like, but I'll be with Jason every step of the way, because I love him, Sonny. Thank you for accepting our relationship."
Sonny nodded and turned towards Jason, "Take care of her, man. She's my little sister, you know."
Jason smiled and nodded, "I will." He couldn't voice his gratitude for Sonny, but he knew that Sonny knew. He was so happy that Sonny approved of them being together, because deep down, he was afraid that Sonny wouldn't, but suddenly, the trust that Sonny had for him shown through. Sonny trusted Jason enough to protect his whole family, including Courtney.
Kelly's:
Courtney had had a rough afternoon. First, Elizabeth was in her face about Jason and then AJ. Honestly, Courtney thought that Elizabeth sometimes was nuts. Could she not make up her mind about which one she wanted?
But Courtney also knew that if Elizabeth chose Jason, that Jason wouldn't give her the time of day. Courtney smiled to herself; Jason was back with her and their love was still strong.
Yet, Courtney couldn't shake this feeling of anxiety. She was afraid of getting her heart broken again; she didn't think that this time around she could take it. Was it worth such a big risk such as her heart? Courtney shook the thought away; their love had lasted through much more, and she had to find faith in that.
It was nearly closing at Kelly's and Courtney was wiping down the bar at the front. She looked up as the bell rung and felt herself glow with happiness. Jason was standing in the doorway.
Making his way over to her, he sat at he bar. Beaming, he said, "Hey."
Courtney grinned at him, "Hey. What are you doing here?"
Jason shrugged, "I missed you."
Courtney couldn't believe how incredibly sweet he was. She palmed his cheek and said, "I missed you too."
Jason kissed her chastely from across the counter and looked into her eyes, "I love you."
Courtney grinned, "Listen, my shift is over now. You want to walk me home?"
Jason stood up from his stool and nodded, "Sure." Taking her hand, they started out of the quaint café.
"Court-," Elizabeth stopped short when she saw Courtney hand-in-hand with Jason.
Courtney turned around, "Yeah Elizabeth?"
Elizabeth made a face at her and sneered, "Well I guess AJ was right, you were sleeping with Jason the whole time you were married to him."
Courtney shook her head and brushed Elizabeth off, "I don't know what you're talking about, Liz."
Elizabeth scoffed and turned to Jason, "Yeah, lovers in high school, my ass."
Jason gave Elizabeth a funny look, "Look Elizabeth, you were the one that cheated on me with AJ. I didn't do anything to you and I wasn't sleeping with Courtney when she was married."
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and turned back to Courtney, "You know what? You are a slut! What does Sonny think about it, Courtney? Oh wait; never mind. It makes perfect sense, you know. The hitman's ex married to the mob boss and the mob boss's sister involved with the hitman; you guys could be the perfect mom family."
Courtney shrugged, "Say whatever you want, Elizabeth. You're just jealous because you can't have as great as a guy as Jason." She turned to Jason and said, "Let's get out of here."
Jason nodded, "With pleasure."
They exited Kelly's not noticing the small blonde sitting in the corner of the café watching their every move. Taking out a cell phone from her black purse, she dialed a number, "Meet me at the elm street pier in an hour."
~*~
The petite blonde paced the length of the pier as she awaited her guest. She had the perfect plan of taking Corinthos down. What she needed was his family to fall apart and to do that, she must work from the inside out.
"You wanted to see me?" said a tall, blonde, older woman.
The younger woman nodded, "I'm glad you could make with such short notice."
The older woman nodded, "What is it you want?"
"You want to take down the Spencer's and me. well, I want to take down Corinthos."
"You have a plan in mind?"
"Actually, I do. See, I just found out that Morgan's little girlfriend is Corinthos's sister, but what the other thing I already knew was that Luke and Courtney are quite close, almost like father and daughter. What we need to do, is take down Miss Matthews."
The older woman smiled wryly, "And to take down both Corinthos and Spencer to go at their families."
The shorter woman nodded, "Exactly."
The older woman laughed nastily, "I like the way you think, Faith."
Faith looked at the taller woman and replied, "Well, Helena, what can I say?"
