Part 7
I own nothing but the story. Please review if you like it and because I love reviews! Thanks
The penthouse was dark when she stepped inside but with a quick flick of her wrist she turned the light on. Taking in her surrounding she dragged herself to the couch and flopped down. Resting her head on the back of it she closed her eyes as the rain started outside.
"Hey, Johnny." Jason greeted the bodyguard who stood outside of Sonny's door.
"Jason." Came the monotone greeting from the guard.
"Is he in there?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, but he's sleeping." Johnny told him, having just gone in to clean the glass.
"Oh. Anything new on Alexis?" Jason asked.
"We finally got some leads. We're looking into them." Johnny told him as Jason nodded his head.
"Good, Good." Jason said before stealing a quick glace at penthouse #2.
"She's in there." Johnny told him, following Jason's glace.
"Really." Jason said, trying to sound uninterested.
"I know you like her, Jason." Johnny told him.
"I'm out here all the time and I saw you leaving her place a week ago." Johnny told him.
"Fine so you got me. Tell me something Johnny what's she like?" Jason asked wanting to know her better.
"She's loyal, caring, funny, and fiery. She's beautiful, but you know that and she hates Sonny." Johnny told him all he knew. "She a good person." He added as Jason started walking towards her door. He knocked lightly and then stood to wait.
Her head shot up when she heard the knocks and thinking it was Carly she tried to ignore it. It didn't stop. Deciding she's better answer it she pushed herself off the couch and started towards the door. Pulling open the large door she was surprised to find Jason on the other side.
"Hey." He said looking down at her.
"Hey." She repeated like an idiot.
"Can I come in?" He asked her and she stepped to one side to let him in. He took the silent invite and stepped into her penthouse as she shut the door. Spinning around to face him he smiled at the way her red hair whipped around.
"What brings you by?" She asked as he made himself comfortable on the couch.
"It's weird that you live here now. I use to live here." He told her looking at the ceiling.
"There more stuff in here now that you're here but it the same." He told her as he joined him on the couch. Shifting his body he turned his head to look at her dinning room table.
"Every think about losing the table and getting a pool table instead?" He asked before looking at her.
"I like the table, plus it not mine to get rid of." She told him and he knew that she was thinking about Alexis.
"Sonny's got some leads on her." Jason said, hoping that it helped.
"I don't want his finding her, he hurt her enough." Kristina told him, looking away.
He placed her hand under her chin and brought her face up to his, looking eyes with her.
"He really does love her." Jason told her, caressing her cheek. She could think strait with him that close. Slowly she pulled away from him and smiled.
"Anyway what brings you by again?" She asked him.
"What I need a reason to wanna see you?" he asked her, flashing her a sexy grin.
"No, well its I." She stumbled and he brought a finger up to her lips to stop her.
"Have to dinner with me." He said, not ordering her but not asking her either.
She contemplated saying no but his blue eye got the better of her and she found herself nodding in agreement.
"Great, I know this little place it's wonderful. But if you wanna go somewhere else we can." He told her as he held the door opened for her.
"No that sounds wonderful." She told him as he smiled at Johnny.
"Good." He said as the stepped into the elevator and the doors closed.
The knock woke her from her nap and she wondered who it could be.
"Emily, its Nicholas." His deep voice came from the other side of the door. She looked in the mirror quickly and noticed her blue eyes starring back at her. Panicking she called out. "Just a minute, Nik." Hoping that sounded Emily like.
"K." He called back. She quickly slid the contacts on and made sure that they were right before going over and opening the door. Nicholas slid past her and into the room before she could ay hello.
"Hey." He said looking around the room.
"Hey." She said back, watching him.
"I was wondering if you wanted to go for dinner tonight." He asked her, setting on her bed. She smiled at him, if she said 'no' he'd know that something wasn't right.
"Sure, just give me some time to get ready." She told him and he smiled.
"Sure, I'll be back in an hour." He said before slipping back out the door. Just then her phone rang and she jumped. Going over she picked it up and muttered a 'hello'
"I'm watching you. Make sure you don't mess things up tonight he has to think that you're her." The voice said on the other line and she knew who it was.
"I'll be careful." She said before quickly adding. "But its head they al loved her some much they are going to start to notice."
"You'd better do a good job at acting then cause I'm not really yet." With that the line went dead.
"You'd better hurt the hell up." She said into the phone, knowing full well that the other person couldn't hear her before hanging up and starting to get ready.
