Every time he thought about it, it made him snicker. Little Lizzie Weber going hard nose to nose with guys like Morgan and coming out on top. Jax had heard of Nik's bodyguard, world class hard core no holds barred bitch. She was smart, cunning, and pulled no punches. He doubted any cared about the woman inside. Except for maybe Nik. He had to know about Elizabeth in ways no on else could. Lucky got the vulnerable part, Jason got the determined to survive on her own part, Lansing got the woman who need to be loved. So what was left for him?
Liz sat at the table in his white shirt and boxers, she read the emails on her computer and smiled at him. She smiled every time he snickered but now she was frowning.
"Jasper?"
"What's left for me?"
"Huh?"
"Every man you've been involved with has a piece of you that makes the whole. What part do I get? Eliza I don't think this is a fling, at least not for me."
"Really?"
"I gage most women by the first woman I truly loved, Brenda. Some are so like her, even Skye. You, you're not. You shouldn't be my type, but here we are."
"I've had the same thoughts myself."
"Then what do I get Eliza? What?"
She sighed and thought about it.
"What's it like with me Jasper?"
"Huh, what?"
"With you it's fun, adventurous. With you I can watch you sleep and find peace in it. It's not too good to be true, I can see myself having kids with you. Even grandchildren, we'll never be bored. It can be intense or comfortable. What ever we decide Jasper it will be worth remembering."
"Yeah that's what it's like. Just to add to that, we need to tell each other when we're ready."
"Fair enough. Now eat your health food so I can get to work."
He smiled. It's not everyday you meet the person you could spend your life with and decide when the start date will be. It was exciting and comfortable at the same time and that made him giddy.
Liz sat with Carly just outside of Port Charles having lunch. They talked about something that was disturbing Carly. The fact that Faith hadn't turned tail and run by now. Liz of course wasn't surprised, Faith had help. She didn't want to tell Carly yet or the others though she was sure Alexis was Cassadine enough to expect it; lawyer enough to try and find out whom. Of course even with Cassadine resources she was sure she wouldn't get much and who ever this was wanted her most of all in the dark which meant an old enemy of Nikoli.
"Liz?"
"Sorry you're right. She's got money somewhere we just have to find it."
"Alexis is working on it meanwhile Zander is guarding Courtney's back while she gets the local buzz."
Liz was right, Alexis suspected.
"What about you?" Carly asked.
"Me? Well, the people who need my help seem to increase; it's not much of a surprise that they're coming out of Rosco territory. Her husband was an idiot and she's got impulse control problems. As long as we keep a lid on it and defuse her before she blows I think we're okay."
"You're right. We're on top of her and she'll cave sooner or later. How's Jax?"
"Antsy. He knows about La Bella Mafia. He won't tell Sonny but he's worried about me. Thinks I'm taking on too much."
"Do you?"
"I have had worse. It's no different."
"It is when you have someone to worry about."
"Yeah, I've had someone to worry about before. I just feel off, like I'm trying to be two people. Liz and Eliza."
"Don't."
"Don't what Carly?"
"Don't be two people. Be you. You've told us to deal with it, we have. Where's the problem?"
Liz blinked.
"I hate when you do that."
"Yeah, I so love to do it."
"I see why Nikkita likes you. Let's go."
Hairs on the back Liz neck stood up, Carly gasped. Sonny and Jason were staring at them.
"Well shit."
Jax sat in the large chair where Liz left him reading over reports. Something was off and he felt it in his heart. It was Liz.
"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Sonny yelled.
"What you can't seem to do apparently. That women has put us in more danger than I care to count." Carly snapped.
"I will handle it." Sonny said.
"Here we go." Carly said with a sigh.
"You don't have a say Carly."
"The hell I don't! Those are my children too Sonny and I've got the right to protect them how I see fit. Despite you." Carly yelled.
"Carly." Jason started.
"No!"
Both women said in unison.
"For my part in this, Faith has gotten away with enough. She's threatened my children and I won't stand for it anymore. I have a RIGHT to protect my family just like you do." She jabbed her finger at Sonny.
"As for me you don't have a say AT ALL in what I do you---" Liz growled.
Her cell rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
The people in the restaurant all started looking out the window. The Grand Hotel was on fire at the penthouse.
"Jax!"
Liz ran out with Jason behind. He drove her to the hotel, calling him over and over prying he'd answer his cell.
"What am I going to do Jason? What am I going to do if something happens to him? I don't think I could take it."
"He'll be fine."
"If he's not God help anyone who gets in my way."
The truck and limo pulled up to the hotel. She looked around the crowd while Jason talked to people. There was an explosion, a gas leak according to the fire department. For Sonny, seeing Liz like this was an all too familiar scenario. He did the same thing the last time holding her in his arms.
"Oh God Sonny not again."
"Eliza?"
Jax stood there, his white shirt dirty his face smudged, his hair messy. Liz moved from Sonny into his arms, kissing any part of his face that wasn't bruised or dirty, which was his lips. Even Sonny had to breath a sigh of relief; Carly hugged him and Liz at the same time.
"We have to trust them Sonny they've done more to stop that women then we ever could." Jax said.
"You knew? Sonny asked.
"Course I did, but I trust their ability to get the job done. That's what swayed my view on their involvement. They've done more than either of us."
"Besides the point." Sonny said.
"What's the point then?" Jax pressed.
"Faith's got friends."
Carly looked at Liz.
"I'm taking you to the dinner. I'll call you later Carly. Deal with your husband." Liz said.
"I will. Bye Jax."
"Carly."
Jax wasn't tired; he wasn't even sleepy he was more hungry then anything else. He watched Liz putter around the small room, she mentioned a new apartment, that's it just mentioned. He didn't know why he was thinking of such small things. Trying not to think about the big stuff, like how much he wanted to hold her right now, make love to her right now.
Liz could feel his eyes on her. She didn't mean to show that much emotion when it came to him but it just happened. Jason now knew how she felt, so did Sonny. A miscalculation on her part. Why? Sonny could use it against her. Jax was no fool he played with Sonny, toyed with him even, but she was sure that if push came to shove, and they did have an out and out war Jax would surprise Sonny by holding his own and winning a few battles.
She on the other had learned a long time ago to win the war remove all possible enemies. With those you're sure about keep close watch on them. Why was she thinking of Sonny now? Cause she didn't want to think about what it would mean to address Jax's eyes. He put his hands on her hips and she leaned into his body.
"Your mind's going a million miles an hour I can tell."
"How?"
"You won't look at me."
She turned.
"God this is going too fast Jasper."
"Is it or is just that it's too right?"
"I've never been one for slow when it's right." Liz said.
"So it's right."
"More like perfect."
"Let's not care." Jax said.
"Not care?"
"Yes, who cares if it's right or wrong? Let's just care how good it feels."
"Good idea." She smiled.
She kissed his bruised lips gently. He groaned and depend the kiss, the heat of it was far better then the pain of his spilt lip. She pulled away when she tasted cooper.
"You need to shower. Take care of your lip."
He nodded, grabbed a towel and left. Liz sat down on the bed. She hoped Carly was having some luck.
Carly stood toe to toe with Sonny. She was boiling mad, he'd never seen her that way before. He loved her determination and strength, her ability to think on her feet. What he didn't love was being disobeyed; she knew that and often called him on it. Yet he got his way in the end. For the first time Sonny Carinthos was worried.
Carly Crainthos wasn't giving him his way.
