Elizabeth still couldn't believe this was happening. Jason had moved from
the chair and was now sitting on the edge of her bed, her hands in his.
She still hadn't forgotten how his hands felt when they were against hers.
She smiles softly to herself at the contact and then looks up in the
direction that he was sitting.
"Jason, I treated you horribly. I aimed a gun at you." She says softly. She never thought that after what had happened between them while she was married to Ric that they would ever be sitting here like this. Not that she would complain or anything, but it was a big surprise to her.
Jason rubs his thumb over her knuckles gently. "Elizabeth, it's alright. What you saw was me attacking your husband. He was someone that you loved and trusted, that happens when you get married." He says. "He broke that trust Elizabeth, but your better off without him. You're a much strong person than that to depend on someone like him." He says.
Elizabeth lets out a little laugh and rolls her eyes. "Yeah, that one worked out real well." She says. "I have the best of luck with guys, don't I?" she asks. She drops her face down slightly at the thought of Ric and then feels Jason fingers under her chin.
"Elizabeth, don't think of him right now. That part of your life is over with." He says softly. He reaches up and brushes a piece of hair out of her face, gently tucking it behind her ear. "I'll do anything I can to make sure you are safe from Ric." He says.
Elizabeth turns her face towards Jason and licks her lips. Could it be true? Is he going to tell her what she has always wanted to hear? "Why?" she asks softly, her hands linking together in hopes of hearing what she wanted.
"Because I still love you." He says softly.
*********Emily & Nikolas
Emily puts a hand out to Nikolas as they get to Elizabeth's door. She had seen Jason in there and was about to just walk in to surprise her until she heard Jason's confession.
"Because I still love you." He says softly.
Emily's eyes grow wide and she turns towards Nikolas with a big smile. "Nikolas, did you just hear that?" she asks.
Nikolas looks down at Emily and laughs at the expression on her face. "Yeah, I did." He says. "So, Jason loves Elizabeth? What's the big deal." He says with a grin, knowing that would get her going.
Emily quickly looks at Nikolas and gently hits his arm. "Are you serious? Jason just told Elizabeth that he still loved her!" she says with a smile. "That is awesome news Nikolas." She says. She turns back around to hear what Elizabeth was going to say.
*********Elizabeth & Jason
Now more than ever Elizabeth wished that she could see. Jason just told her that he still loved her and she wished that she could have seen the look on his face when he said it. She takes a deep breath and licks her lips, her hands still in Jason's. "Jason." she says.
"Elizabeth, you don't have to say anything back. I just had to tell you how I feel." He says. "I've waited too long to tell you that." He says.
Elizabeth reaches out and slides her hands up his arms gently, resting on the sides of his neck. "Jason, I need to tell you something too." She says. She rubs her fingertips on his hair gently. "Jason, ever since you first got with Courtney I have been jealous." She says. She takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out. "I didn't give Courtney the chance at first because she was the one that was with you and not me. I hated seeing another girl by your side Jason." She says. She lets out a sigh. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that I still love you too Jason." She says.
Jason lets out the breath that he didn't realize he was holding when Elizabeth started talking. He runs his hand over his hair and then brings his hands up to Elizabeth's face and smiles at her, wishing that she could see the happiness in his eyes. "Elizabeth, that is what I have wanted to hear for so long now." He says. He leans forward and presses his lips to hers gently, not wanting to startle her.
*********Emily & Nikolas
Emily presses her hands over her mouth as she watches Jason kiss Elizabeth. She couldn't help smiling but she didn't want to yell out anything. She quickly turns around and throws her arms around Nikolas' arms in excitement and unconsciously kisses his lips.
