Chapter 9
Daisy walked out on stage and made the men crawl. She knew she had to do this or else that husband that she thought she loved so dearly would be incarcerated and she just couldn't have that. Trying to escape the glare of the men she looked up at the bar and there he was again. "He came back, but why?" Courtney thought. "I really don't care, he here." And for the first time Daisy smiled when she gave a show not taking her eyes off of him. "Jason really here, this is not my imagination playing tricks he came back. He's not ashamed that I'm doing this and he doesn't even know why I do it. He's not going to act like this changes me" as her thoughts went wild, her smile grew bigger. Her eyes never left those big blues of his when she was on stage tonight.
***********
Jason sat at the bar and hoped that Courtney wouldn't be mad that he showed up but he wanted to take her home again tonight, if she would let him. He knew it was okay when he saw her smile and looks right into his eyes. No one had ever done that before. Not the way that she looked into his eyes anyway. After Daisy was finished Coleman walked over to Jason, "You like that don't you? Daisy! But I know you. You work for Sonny and I don't think he would like you coming here to get your hits with a married stripper. If you were smart you'd leave her alone. She loves her husband, trust me. You should see the way she can stand up for him," Coleman smirked.
Coleman was smart. What he said really got Jason thinking about what he was doing there. Courtney didn't need him complicating her life anymore. She had a husband one that she loved more than anything. "I shouldn't be here. She doesn't need this," he said to himself. As he was about to go something changed his mind. It was her smile when she looked into his eyes. He couldn't get that image out of his head. No matter how hard he tried, his heart told him that she wants him to be there she needs him there.
***********
After Daisy got off the stage she went in front of the vanity and looked at herself into the mirror. "Why? Why does Jason make me smile? Why? I'm supposed to love my husband. What kind of a wife thinks more about her husband's brother than her husband? I thought I loved AJ and he was the one for me, but what if I made a mistake," Courtney thought why she fixed her make-up.
"Hey sweetie! Those men out there are hot and rich tonight. I think my baby make actually be able to get that doll she's been asking for," Reno said as she got off the stage noticing Courtney sitting at the vanity. "Daisy what's going on are you ok? You look like you have a lot on your mind. You know I do have a daughter of my own. And she may not be that old but I do need the practice of listening and getting things off your chest help. And just knowing you have someone to talk to. So come on tell me what's going on I may be able to help you."
"I don't want to burden you with my problems. I'm sure that they're just dumb problems that really have no need to make you worried. It's just…" Courtney said turning to face Reno.
"It's just that you have this problem that you don't want to burden me with. But if you don't tell me that will burden me even more. And when I'm burden I can be bitchy and Emma doesn't need that," Reno told her.
"Alright, but I'm only telling you because I don't want to be the reason you're daughter has to deal with a bitchy mom," Courtney giggled and then turned serious, "Well as I told you before I'm only here because Coleman is basically blackmailing me till I pay off this debt that my husband owes. Well you also know that AJ knows nothing about the Oasis. Well the other day AJ brother came in here and saw me. Now before you say anything no he didn't tell AJ. In fact he and AJ don't even like one and other. Long story that I don't want to get into. Well for as long as I've known Jason, I've had a little crush on him."
"Jason is AJ's brother right," Reno interrupted.
"Yeah, well anyway I just played off the crush and blamed it on physical attraction. It was nothing more then. But my feelings never died. In fact when we became friends it just grew. Now I knew nothing would come of this crush. Not only because I was married, but Jason works for my brother. So even if I wasn't married nothing could come of this crush. But since I went riding with him on his bike, I can't seem to get him out of my mind. And I'm no longer sure if AJ's the one. If AJ were to find out about Daisy he would leave me in a snap, but Jason he knows and he came back tonight. I saw him when I was on-stage."
"Well you want to know what I think. I think you really need to sit down and weigh out the aspects of each man. Now when you do this think about stripping on that stage out there every night. And of what you tell me about your brother if Jason works for him consider that aspect of Jason life as well. You really need to take time before you decide. You should tell AJ how you feel. That would be the Dr. Phil way to go, but he's not a woman so don't mention this to AJ either. Don't mention this torn between them both ever. Well maybe more like till you decide which one is right for you. And if you need a good divorce lawyer you know where to find me, I have a great one."
Before Courtney could say anything Wynona came in and said, "Hey Daisy I think they're ready for you. Good luck. And you should check out the hot guy over at the bar. Looks like Coleman was up t something I saw them talking out there and the guy was going to leave and he turned back. It looked like the same guy who you gave a private dance to yesterday, now that I'm thinking about it."
Courtney stopped right before she was about to go into Daisy's world, "What? Coleman was talking to Jas- I mean that guy from yesterday. What would Coleman want from him?" After she said that Reno giggled and Wynona became confused as to what was so funny, but Courtney walked out on stage and let Daisy take over. Except Courtney mind went running over what Coleman would say to Jason. Sitting at the bar Jason noticed that she wasn't the same as when she was on stage early. Her eyes had lost the brightness that was there before. "What happened to her after she left the stage before?" Jason thought as he vowed to find out what it was and help her.
After Daisy did her final dance for the evening, Courtney took off all her make-up and change back into her clothes. As she finished she hoped that Jason had left because she didn't want to ask him about what happened with Coleman, but she knew if she sees him that she won't be able to keep quite. As headed out the front of the Oasis there it was and she knew that she was in big trouble.
He was there. The one time Courtney didn't want to see him there he was. "Why
didn't he leave?" was all that went through Courtney's mind. He stood there with his leather jacket on, blue jeans, solid color shirt, and his work boots standing beside his bike. "You looked a little stressed and I thought maybe I could help? You said it yourself that riding was relaxing," Jason said to her as she walked over.
"Why did you come back? I didn't ask you to. Is there something that you wanted," Courtney asked hoping her curiosity would hold out on asking him about Coleman.
"Well, I couldn't very well leave you to deal with those men. What if one tried to get a little handsy? I would feel really bad. I wouldn't be able to live with myself. I'd feel like it was all my fault because I could have done something," Jason asked.
"Well I'm not a little girl. I can take care of myself. Daisy may act sweet and innocent, but Courtney isn't. When I go on stage I may be Daisy, but Courtney won't let them get to far. Not to mention I can take care of myself. No matter what Sonny or someone else may think I know how to take care of myself because I've been doing it for a long time. My mom well she used to work night at the casino in order to get the good tips, so I had to care for myself. It's like everyone seems to forget that. Plus the club has guards to watch out for us and make sure that everything is ok. They won't let anything happen to us," Courtney told him.
"Yeah that's what you think till one man gets a little out of control and Coleman tells the guards to let it go, because it's not harming anyone except for you. The guards won't care because Coleman's the one who signs their paychecks. But with me here you won't have to worry about guards following Coleman orders and standing on stage thinking what can I do. Why won't they help me? Because I'll be there for you. I promise," Jason, told her as he grabbed her chin to make Courtney look into his eyes.
"Well I guess that should be ok. I'll only be here till I pay off this dumb debt, anyway and shouldn't be much longer."
"Debt… is that why you're stripping you own Coleman a debt. Why? You know what you don't have to tell me. Just how much more do you owe. I'll pay it. It's no problem. I mean I have more than enough money and if it would help you it's worth spending. You won't have to pay me ba…"
"You listen to me Jason Morgan. I don't need your money I can pay off this debt on my own. I've made it this far and I'll finish it. Plus I don't want people paying my way. I can pay my own. And even if I were to take your money I would always feel like I'd have to pay you back," Courtney yelled at him.
"Fine Courtney, just cool down. You looked like an angel turning into Satan. I'll let you pay your way, but first I want you to tell me why do you owe Coleman?" Jason asked her. He wasn't going to take I don't want to talk about this time. He couldn't, his gut was telling him that she needed to tell someone even if she didn't want to.
"I'll tell you if you tell me why you're working with Coleman? I saw you talking with him at the bar tonight. It's not that hard of a question. All you have to do is tell," she replied as she lied.
Jason was silent for moment not sure how to answer without telling her that he had a huge crush on her. "Well, all I can tell you is that Coleman and I are NOT working together. I would never work with that scum. Plus what would I get out of it?"
"Honestly, I don't know. I didn't really see you two talking. One of the other girls did and she remembered that I 'danced' for you last night. And she mentioned it. So I thought that you two were working together. I'm not sure what came over me. I'm sorry. And I can't tell you why I owe Coleman. I'll tell you when I'm ready and now is not the time," she told.
"I trust that you'll tell. Do you want me to take you home now? You look a little tired," he told her.
"Well, thanks Jase, that really nice of you to tell a girl she looks tired. We'll have to work on that ok? And no, I'm not ready to go home. Can you take me for another ride like you did yesterday? But today after you drop me off, don't continue to go riding till you fall asleep. The last thing we need is for Carly to find you like she did yesterday. Because if I know Carly she'll do anything to find out whom this supposed girl is. And I'm not ready for her to discover Daisy," she giggled.
"I would love to take you for a ride. It really relaxes you. I can see it," Jason giggled as Courtney began to blush. "And I promise not to go riding after I drop you off. And I'm sorry about Carly. I try to control her, but she's not easily trainable. That's how humans are. Now maybe if she were a dog that would be a different story." Courtney laughed as Jason handed her a helmet. She put on the helmet and hopped on wrapping her arms around Jason. AS they pulled out neither noticed the set of eyes that had been watching
