Chapter 11

Jason and Courtney tried to steer clear of one and other for the next few days. Not seeing each wasn't that big of a problem since Courtney didn't have to work at the Oasis that week and Jason was busy with work. Even though they didn't see one and other Jason mind was always on Courtney, and Courtney kept having visions of what would have happen if Sonny didn't call Jason that night on the cliff.

"Hey, Jase it's Carly I wanted to know if you would meet me for lunch Friday at Kelly's? It's important or else I wouldn't of asked so give me a call after you get this message so I can tell you what time to meet me," Carly told Jason's voice-mail. After she hung up the phone she walked into Kelly's with Johnnie. "And Johnnie my man that's how you get what you want," she told him regarding her phone call to Jason.

Carly grabbed a table as her waitress started walking over to her. "Hey Courtney!" Carly said as Courtney came by to take her order.

"Hi, Carly. How's it going Johnnie? That big brother of mine isn't working you to hard is he? Never mind that I can see he is because he has you guarding Carly," Courtney giggled.

"Ha, Ha! It was so funny that I forgot to laugh," Carly told her friend, "Well now that were done harassing Carly let's change the subject. So, Courtney what have you been up to? I haven't seen you around. If I didn't know any better I would say that you're ducking me,"

"No, Carly I haven't been ducking you. I've been working. I am doing well though. Really good considering," she told her friend than changed the subject, "So what can I get you today?"

"Do you see that Johnnie? Courtney has become a subject changer just when a conversation gets good. So you tell me what you meant by 'Really good considering.' Now I want to know what you meant by considering. And once you tell me I'll tell you what I want."

"What been going on with you lately. You're mind hasn't been in your work. It's like you're in your own little world. Now that's not something we need right now. Not with the business like it is right now. Do you hear me Jason? Hello anyone up there?" Sonny said waving his hands in front of Jason's face.

"Look Sonny I'm sorry. There's a lot on my mind right now. You know with the business and all. I'm trying to find this guy and my leads are coming back empty. And I don't know where go. I just want to find this guy and nothing comes up," Jason lied. He hoped Sonny didn't see right through him and know that he does have a lot on his mind; only it had nothing to do with business. In fact it only had one connection to the business and that was her brother was involved in the business. No matter how hard Jason tried he just couldn't get Courtney out of his mind.

"Look man, it not business so don't even try to lie to me. I know you man. We're brothers remember? It's women."

***********

"So are you going to tell me Courtney?" Carly asked.

"Trust me Carly you don't want to know. And I know you'll say try me so, truth be told I miss my husband. He's out of town. I miss falling asleep next to him and doing all the things that husband and wife do," Courtney lied to her friend as Johnnie giggled and Carly looked liked she was going to vomit. The truth was she was doing good considering the fact that she was married to one man and always thinking about another and how what would have happened if they kissed. "So are you now going to tell me what you want to order because if not I have other costumers waiting."

"Just coffee. Anything for you Johnnie?" Carly asked and Johnnie nodded his head no.

"I'll be back with your coffee," she said as she walked away.

***********

Jason looked at Sonny with complete shock. He knew everything about his feelings for Courtney and how they almost kissed and how she's been stripping while he watched over her to make sure things didn't get out of hand.

"I know your problem is women. Now I don't have to worry about this problem that you're having because I'm married, but if you needed a good lay. A nice romp in the sac you just had to tell me and I would understand and help to get you a woman. It's no problem," Sonny told him. Jason stood there in complete shock unable to believe the words that had just come out of Sonny's mouth. Yet at that same moment he was relieved he rather has Sonny think that he needed to have sex than the truth. He couldn't let him know about Courtney. Jason was finally able to speak, "Sonny, I don't need to get laid. Thanks for caring. I think."

"Well now that that's out of the way how about you tell me about how the Courtney thing is working out. Did you get her to consider taking money from me?" asked Sonny.

"Courtney is very headstrong," he giggled, "and she has yet to budge but I'll talk to her about it. I was going to go over to Kelly a little later and see what I can do. First I wanted to go home and gets some work done," Jason told Sonny as he left and walked across the hall into his penthouse.

After Jason entered the penthouse he sat and tried to think about business. 'Courtney now I need you to leave my mind so I can work. What is wrong with me? Why can't I get you out of my mind? This has never happened to me before. Why do I want you so bad? I want you because I can't have you that's why. I can't have your hand to hold. Those blue eyes to gaze into. Your long blonde hair to run my hand through. I can't have you to kiss. When out of everything in the world that what I want most. You're my chocolate. I'm that little kid who chases after you the ice cream truck. I could live with out but life isn't that sweet when your not here. I can't pretend that we can be just friends much longer. There's something about you that when I see you smile I feel like there is no life. Oh God Jason Morgan get a hold of yourself. You are acting like a high school boy. Remember you're Jason Morgan, dangerous hit man. Whose falling for your brothers wife.' Jason thought as he sat at his desk. "You need to take a nap and clear your head," he said out loud and headed toward his room.

Once Jason reached his room he went over and turned on the radio and headed over to the bed. As his head hit the bed "I want you to want" by Letters to Cleo came on. The song continued as he drifted to sleep with thoughts of Courtney lingering his mind.

"Jason, I tried to stopped, but I couldn't no matter how hard I tried not to I fell in love with you. I'm sure where when I knew that I was in love with you, but it was between the eggs at Kelly's and when we almost kissed on the cliff. I told AJ that I didn't love him. I can't just let what we had go. And I know that you might not love me," before she could finish

"Don't say that I might not love you because that's a lie. I do I love you with all that I am and I can't pretend that were just friends. I want to spend the rest of my life having you to come home to. Courtney, ever since I met you something has come over. I didn't know what it was until Carly found me in the elevator that night after I drove you home. The way you would hold on that bike made me like I was the luckiest man in the world because no one else had you with them," Jason told her. She then ran straight into Jason's arms. "Now is why the phone rang the first time we kissed. Destiny was waiting for this moment for us." Jason put his hand and rubs the tears away from her face. There faces moved closer and closer as their lips finally met. This was the happiest moment in Jason life. He hadn't wanted to kiss someone so badly ever. He wanted to kiss her more than he wanted to get out of the hospital after he woke up from the car accident. The kiss was long and passionate. They kissed till they were out of breath. Courtney was the first to back away. "Jason, I want you to want me, I need you to need me. I loved you to love me. I'd get up early from work if you say you love me. I did not did not see you crying. Feeling all alone without a friend you feel like dying. I want you to want me"

"I do want you. I truly do I want you more than anything," Jason replied.



"Jason!! Jason!!" Carly shouted.

"What are you doing here?" Jason asked as he was pulled from his dream.

"What are you mad that I found out you want. You want me more than anything. Now I don't think Sonny will be to happy to hear that so that will be are little secret," Carly giggled. "Anyway who were you dreaming about? Because I know it wasn't me. It's that woman that you say doesn't exist. I'm right. I know it."

"Listen Carly I don't want to talk about. Can you just drop it? You know to stay out of my personal life," said an aggravated Jason, "How did you get in anyway?"

"I tell you my secret once you tell me what the mystery girl said to make you go 'I want you. I truly do want you more than anything'? That was a classic moment where I wished I had a video camera"

"If I tell you will you leave me alone?" Carly nodded and waited for Jason to tell her, "Well she said 'Jason, I want you to want me, I need you to need me. I loved you to love me. I'd get up early from work if you say you love me. I did not did not see you crying. Feeling all alone without a friend you feel like dying. I want you to want me' okay are you happy now leave me alone."

"Jason what were you listening to before you fell asleep. That's a song. Yeah, it ah… that Letters To Cleo cover for the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. Courtney loves that movie and she made me watch it with. That how I know. Plus she loves Letters To Cleo. I think that's interesting because you don't really listen to unknowns a lot."

"Carly that was the song that was probably on when I fell asleep. Now you can leave me alone. I have business that I should have taken care of inside of napping."

"Well to keep up my end of the deal. I knocked on the door and no one answered so I walked in and was putting your mail on the table and I heard something so I came up to see what it was and hear you were. I came in and turned off your radio thinking that was the noise and then I heard what you said. I'll leave you alone for now, but I haven't dropped who this mystery girl is," Carly said as she walked downstairs a back to her penthouse.

After Jason heard the door downstairs close he got up and went into the bathroom and took a shower. He wanted to be nice and clean when he went to see Courtney. Jason got ready as soon as possible. He couldn't wait to see Courtney, but he was still a little afraid. What if she didn't want to talk to him? Like five days ago they almost and he hasn't seen her since. What would he do if she were to say I can't see you not ever? His heart would break and he knew it. He hesitated before he grabbed his jacket and the keys to his bike. He had to tell her how he felt no matter what happen he couldn't leave another day with this secret from her. She deserved to know even if it did change their friendship.
