Chapter 13
Kelly's was empty aside from the two souls that were now intertwined. If it wasn't for her blonde hair and their clothes you would think that they were one. One person who was completely at peace, which is really what they were only instead of being one they were 2 people, who were deathly afraid to admit that they were anything but friends except to themselves that is. Jason and Courtney stood there dancing without any music, both aware of their feelings, but the other's. Their moment was suddenly interrupted when the door to Kelly's opened. There stood the one woman who could possibly ruin everything.
"Oh! Hi guys. I'm so sorry, am I interrupting something," the red haired owner said as she noticed Jason and Courtney.
"Hi, Bobbie I was just waiting till closing when Jason came in, and we started talking and somehow we got into dancing and I offered to teach him," Courtney told her hoping that she wouldn't tell anyone what she walked in on.
"Courtney, your shift ended like two hours ago. I got a call from the woman who owns the building next to us and she called and let me know that the lights were on down here, so I came to close and see if anything happened," Bobbie replied as she noticed the shock on Courtney's face, "Listen Courtney, it's no problem that you here I'll leave you two alone and again I'm sorry for interrupting, just remember to lock up once you leave." Bobbie walked out and headed home, her mind hoped that Courtney knew what she was hopping into. The last thing she wanted was for Courtney to get hurt.
"I can't believe we lost track of time I can only think what Bobbie thinks happen her tonight. I hope she doesn't go round and tell people. I can't dance with you anymore Jason. For some reason I got lost and drifted away into my thoughts. I should really finish putting the chairs up and head out it pretty late," Courtney said as she starting flipping the chairs over and placing them on the table.
"I told you I didn't want to dance Courtney, so don't go blaming me," Jason joked, "and don't sweat Bobbie. She maybe Carly's mom, but she's not a nosy nor does she spread thing around. Do you wants some help? Then after wee finished I could give you a ride home."
"That's really nice of you to offer but I can lift chairs and I sort want to walk home. It's nice out and I have a lot on my mind."
"Courtney, you really don't have a choice I'll walk you home after we put these chairs on the table. You said it yourself that it was pretty late and it's not safe at night. I'll walk you home. It's no problem and I want to. I want to make sure nothing happens to you," Jason stated as he looked into Courtney's eyes.
Staring into those eyes of his Courtney couldn't resist, "Fine, and you're right. If I didn't make it home no one would notice, AJ's out of town." For the first time that night Courtney remember her husband. Jason remained silent when Courtney mentioned AJ. They didn't speak until Jason spoke up when they were finished with the chairs, "Are you ready Courtney? Don't forget your purse."
"Let's go. Everything's clean. The stove and grill is off. The dishes are washed. We got the lights," Courtney spoke as she walked out the door, "and the doors are locked. Let's go. I'm all ready to head home and crash."
On the walk to Courtney's apartment there was little conversation here and there, but nothing real interesting just small and silence. They had been walking in silence until Courtney finally spoke up, "Jason, why do you work for my brother?"
The question caught Jason off guard, "Where did that come from?"
"I just want to know."
"Ok, well after my accident everyone wanted me to be Jason Quartermaine and I just couldn't. I couldn't remember and they all treated me like this hopeless case that was nothing as long has he couldn't remember his past, but than I met Sonny and I wasn't this hopeless case, I was this person, who was real and no one had really treated me like I was a person. All I was was a brain damaged guy who wasn't going to be able to do thing on his own."
"I always wanted to ask how someone got involved with Sonny but was to afraid that they would tell me I was dumb. And I want to thank you I figured you would be like all mean about asking. Saying it's non of my business, which it is."
"I don't mind. In fact no one has ever really asked me that truly wanting to know and not criticize me about that. You like telling how I was dumb for getting involved and I didn't have to work with Sonny. But the truth is he taught me life. And I own him everything. He's like my brother. Well since you asked me a personal question can I ask you one? Why AJ? What make you sure AJ is right for you?"
As soon as Courtney heard the question she didn't know how to answer. She couldn't answer; she didn't even know the answer. She remained silent until they came up to her apartment building. "Thanks Jason. I really appreciate you walking me home."
Courtney began to walk into the building when Jason called to her, "Courtney!! Wait. Let me walk you to your door. You never know some freaky guy could live in your apartment building. And you said that AJ wasn't home." Courtney didn't respond she just waved her hand to come along and Jason followed. They didn't say a word a to one and other until they were standing outside her door as she place the key in the keyhole to unlock the door. By the time she got the door unlocked she asked "Jason do you want to come for coffee or something?" Jason wanted to go in so badly, but he knew if he did he would see the life AJ and Courtney lived, even though AJ wasn't there their life is in that apartment. Jason made a simple response, "Thanks for the offer, but it really late I should get home. I have a meeting tomorrow. I'll see you. Wait do you have work tomorrow night." Courtney simply nodded both knowing where she had work.
As Courtney entered her apartment she was greeting by a very excited dog. "Hello, Rosie!! Did you miss me? Yes, yes you did. You miss your mama didn't you," Courtney baby talked to the dog as she scratched behind Rosie's ears. They then walked over to the couch where Courtney sat and Rosie soon follows. "Well, girl it looks like your mama could be in trouble. Yeah, with the whole Jason, AJ situation. No matter who I choose you will still love me right?" Rosie than jumped and licked her face, "That's what I hoped you would say. Now whom could I ask for advice? Well the only person I can talk to in Port Charles is Carly and I can't talk to her about AJ and Jason." she sat and thought for a moment. "Oh I know I can called Natalie. She moved from Atlantic City to Llandview. Where did I put her new number? Ah! Here it is." Courtney than reached for the phone and dialed.
