Ric jumped up and walk over to the mirror where Elizabeth was standing trying to brush her hair.
"Wait a minute you were kidnapped last summer?" he asked as he gently took the hairbrush away from Elizabeth. He watched he face in the reflection and started to brush her hair.
"Yes, I was kidnapped last summer and locked in a dark moldy crypt for days. Zander ended up in it with me. Sonny and Jason found us and got us out." She said calmly and she smiled at him as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
"Why were you kidnapped?" Ric asked amazed that she had been through so much and was such caring person.
" Alcazars men found out I was a way to get to Jason and because of that a way to get to Sonny.
So they kidnapped me from this studio and locked me in the Quinn crypt. Zander ended up with me in the crypt because he was looking for me." She said a small chill went through her as she thought about it and she shivered. Ric hugged her even closer .She looked up into the reflection and saw that he was very pale. "Ric, I'm ok it was a long time ago. I have my door and I am safe at the studio."
She turned in his arms. Reaching up she pulled him down into a kiss and put everything she had into. He returned the kiss with equal passion and then letting out a groan he stepped away from her. " I couldn't bare it if something happened to you," he said as he took her hands in his.
"I will be fine while you are at your meeting, " she said with a smile.
"All Right lets go get you a different dress. I will drop you off after lunch and come back for you after the meeting," Ric said grabbing his coat, keys and the dress box.
"Sounds great to me," Elizabeth said as she closed the door behind her.
After returning the dress and picking out a new one in a deep wine color. Elizabeth and Ric had a nice quiet lunch at the grill full of good food and conversation. Ric then drove her to the studio and came in to make sure she was settled.
"Ric I will be fine." Elizabeth said as she realized how late it was getting. "You need to go to your meeting. I am safe here." She walked over and turned on the radio and started to get her things together to paint.
"Do you remember my cell phone number?" Ric asked calming down a little after seeing the door.
Elizabeth walked over and wrapped her arms around him. "Ric the sooner you go the sooner you can come back. Please don't worry I will be fine."
"Ok, you convinced me I will be back as soon as possible," He said before bending and kissing her. He walked out the door and stopped to listen for her to turn the lock.
Elizabeth had been painting for awhile looking over at the clock it was almost 4 PM. She went over to the shelves to get some turpentine down to start cleaning her brushes when she heard a knock at the door. She had tried to paint but her wrist was hurting so it really was a slow process.
She walked over to the door, wondering just who would be knocking. "Who is it?' she asked as she stood I in front of the locked door.
'It's me Elizabeth, Jason."
Elizabeth waited for a few seconds and then went to open the door. She opened it and took a step back a Jason walked in.
"What do you want Jason? Elizabeth asked as she closed the door to the studio. "It's been months since you have even spoken to me. Why bother now? She asked a she stood there looking at him her arms crossed over her chest.
"Well, I heard from Courtney about Tom Baker being released and I was worried about you he said as he took a couple of steps and got closer to her. "This morning I ran into Carly and she said you were hooked up with Ric and I had to come speak to you."
"Fine your speaking. What does it matter to you who I am seeing anyway?" Elizabeth asked she was getting angry at the whole thing. "What right do you or Carly have to comment on my personal Life?"
" I am here for two reasons too take you back to the penthouse so you will be safe and to keep you away from Ric. Elizabeth you're my friend and I want you safe. You don't know about Ric, he isn't what he seems." Jason said as he started to walk closer to her.
"No way Jason I am not getting locked up in your penthouse ever again. I did that once not anymore. I won't be a prisoner again!" Elizabeth was upset now and yelling at Jason. 'As for Ric I know him better than you do! I trust him and he makes me feel safe so leave it alone. She started walking back to her canvas to put away her paints and brushes.
"Elizabeth!" Jason said as he grabbed her arm and spun her around to look at him. "You need to listen."
Elizabeth cried out as Jason grabbed her arm and spun her around she felt her breath catch and her eyes filled with tears as she felt the bones rub together and she screamed.
When he heard Elizabeth scream he thought it was anger and he simply picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. "I don't have time for this we are going now." He said as she started towards the door.
Elizabeth started fighting him she was kicking and screaming like a mad woman. Finally just as they reached the door he let loose of her and she landed on the floor. "What the hell is the matter with you, " Jason asked.
Elizabeth Jumped up and ran across her studio and grabbed her baseball bat. Holding it tightly in her left hand she screamed, "I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE WITH YOU!" as she swung the bat and hit Jason in the shoulder.
Ric had finally finished his meeting with Carly and had just pulled in front of the studio when her heard a woman scream he took the stairs two at a time and got there just in time to witness Elizabeth Hitting Jason with a baseball.
She once again had that mad look in her eyes and was pulling back to swing the bat again when Ric yelled "ENOUGH."
Elizabeth stopped mid swing at the sound of Ric's voice she looked up dropped the bat and crumbled to the Floor crying.
Jason stood like a statue staring at Elizabeth and then Ric.
"What the hell happened here Mr. Morgan? Why was she hitting you with a baseball bat." Ric asked as he walked to stand between Jason and Elizabeth.
"I was trying to take her to the penthouse to keep her safe from Tom Baker and from you!" Jason said. He tried to step around Ric to get to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth I am only trying to keep you safe."
Elizabeth looked up her eyes still full of tears. "Jason please go. just Go.I am not going anywhere with you. I am safe with Ric. Please just go!" As she was speaking she got up walked over to Ric. He pulled her into his arms.
"Mr. Morgan Please leave as Elizabeth asked you or I will call the police and have you charged with assault and attempted Kidnapping." Then put his hands on Elizabeth's cheek and asked,
"Are you alright."
"Elizabeth, You don't understand Ric used to work for Alcazar, Jason said as he stood looking at them.
Elizabeth took a step away from Ric and turned toward Jason still keeping a good distance away from Jason. "What did you Just say?" Elizabeth asked. Picked up her cell phone off the floor.
"I said that Ric used to work for Alcazar and he's gonna hurt you," Jason said as he leaned against the doorframe.
Elizabeth turned to look at Ric; "Did you work for Alcazar?" She asked her voice calm almost to calm after how upset she was moments ago.
"Yes," Ric said, as he looked her into her eyes silently pleading for the chance to explain.
"See I told you Elizabeth." Jason said as he started across the room.
"NO! Jason stay over there!" Elizabeth shouted as she took a step back and reached her hand out for Ric. Still watching Jason while Ric moved closer to stand behind her and put his arm around her. "Ric did you work for Alcazar last summer?"
"NO, last summer I was in a South American Prison, I had been sent there for angering Alcazar. Why do you want to know?" Ric asked he was concerned and could feel Elizabeth Relax as she heard his answer and he pulled her a little closer not caring about the glares from Jason Morgan.
'Last summer when I was kidnapped it was on orders from Alcazar. He was trying to use me to control Jason. ." Elizabeth said and then she laughed a bitter sounding laugh," Too bad he picked the wrong girl. Anyway Jason you can leave now!"
"Elizabeth you are not listening to me!" Jason said as he stepped forward.
Ric stepped around Elizabeth to get between her and Jason.
Before things could get worse Elizabeth Yelled," STOP IT! Both of you." She turned to look at Jason. "Jason so help me if you touch me again or touch Ric I will call Tagggert. I have had enough of men pushing me around in the last few days to last me a life time".
Jason stopped and put his hands in front of him. "But Elizabeth you don't know this man he will hurt you."
Elizabeth had tears in her eyes as she started to speak in a broken voice. "Jason, Maybe I will get hurt but I am gonna take the risk. You hurt me, when you locked me up in your penthouse, all safe and alone. I won't go back there. Maybe Ric will hurt me or maybe I will hurt him. I don't have the answer but I know I want to find out. There is a difference in Ric." She held up her wrapped wrist "When I was upset yesterday Lucky tried to force me to do what he wanted and hurt my wrist in the process." She stooped and took off her paint smock and held out her arm it was red and you could see Jason hand print from the struggle. "Now look, You tried to force me to do what you wanted and now my arm is bruised. You and Lucky have both hurt me now physically and emotionally. Ric listens! We talk and he makes me laugh. We have things to learn about each other and we will. Maybe in the end he will hurt me. All I know is I choose to be with Ric."
Jason stood still for a few seconds letting the word set in. "I am sorry Elizabeth, I will leave but if you need me."
Before he could finish. ,"Goodbye Jason." Elizabeth said
He simply turned and walked out the door.
Ric walked over and shut the door and then came back to stand in front of Elizabeth. "All you OK?" He asked his voice full of concern.
Elizabeth looked up at him and smiled "I will be OK." She reached out and hugged him
Ric kissed the top of he head and asked, are you ready to go?"
She walked across the room to paints and started to pick up. "I have to clean up first."
Ric walked up behind her and smiled," I like your painting you wear it well.
"What? Oh no don't tell me paint in my hair again? Elizabeth asked as she turned to look at him.
"Actually, It's on your cheek." Ric said as her reached out to touch her left cheek and pulled back to show her the blue paint before touching it to her nose. "You look cute."
"Ooh! So you like paint on my face? Do you?'" she asked with a gleam in her eye.
"You look cute," he said before he cracked up with laughter.
"Well. Then," She said as she reached over to the pallet and took one of her paintbrushes and filled it with blue paint. Taking it she dabbed at Ric getting paint on his chin. "There now you. look cute too!" she turned and ran across the studio.
Ric grabbed the other brush from the red paint and started to chase Elizabeth around the room painting her and getting painted. They were laughing like a couple of Kids and by the time they were both finished they had blotches of red and blue paint all over. Rick had Elizabeth backed onto the closed front door and was holding her hand with the paint brush over her head while the rest of her body was pinned to the door by his.
Holding his paint brush just inches from her nose Ric asked,"Do you give up?"
"No.Never," Elizabeth answered giggling.
"OH To Hell with it," Ric said Laughing as he dropped his paintbrush and he kissed Elizabeth
And it left them both weak in the knees.
