Chapter 25
"Hey Carly, it's Penny. I've got some news about you know what and it's important so if you could give me a call as soon as you get this that would be great," Penny said into the phone leaving a message to Carly. Before she knew there she was.
"Hey, Pen. Is my mom here?" Carly asked as she walked into Kelly's and over toward the counter.
"No, but did you get my message? I just left it for you," she responded. And Carly grabbed a seat at the counter.
"No I forgot my cell phone it's still on the charger. So tell me what up? And I have a feeling that it's good news."
"Well that all depends. I just got back form my break and I was with Max. so were talking and he tells me that Jason had him go over to Courtney's apartment and get her some clothes, and stuff. For a couples of days worth of clothes too. But that's not all Marco walked into Jason penthouse this morning to ask him something and he found Courtney and Jason on the couch." Carly looked at her with a huge grin across her face. And she knew that grin was one that proved Carly was right. So she continued. "Now they were both asleep but they were wrapped in one and other's arms. And Marco just walked out he because he felt sort of like he was intruding. But he didn't mention it to anyone except Max. so I told him about your plan and of course he laughed but said if he noticed something between Jason and Courtney he'd tell me. But only if it had to do with Jason and Courtney possibly being involved and that's it."
Carly let out a little grin. "I knew it. I knew it. He should have just told me the truth and none of this would have happened. Well I should get going, but if you see my mom can you ask her to call me. And thanks I'm going to see if I can get anything else from the rest of the guards." Carly grabbed her purse and headed off back to the penthouse. She was going to know how this relationship started and planned on never letting Jason live this one down.

"Table for two," Jason told the hostess. She than grabbed two menus and walked them to their table. "Here you are. Your waitress will be here in just a moment." with that the hostess walked away and back toward the front of the restaurant.
"Wow I feel underdressed for Friendly's. it's been a long time since I've gone to a Friendly's," Courtney smiled. She wasn't used to having to wait to be seated. "I feel weird. That probably sounds dumb but I'm not used to being the customer. I usually do the waiting on the customers. And AJ and I never really went out." After that Courtney stopped talking and picked up her menu. She wasn't going to talk about her sham of a marriage. As there was silence Jason thought about what she had said. He couldn't believe that AJ never took her out. Jason knew that he would want to show her off and let everyone know how lucky he was. As the silence started to go awkward a teenager with long brown hair that was place in a pony tail and her Friendly's uniform came up "Hello my name is Anna and I'll be your server today. Can I start you off with something to drink and maybe an appetizer?" they both looked up from the menus as Anna started to speak.
"Hi! I'll have a Cherry Coke," Courtney told her and than they both looked over a Jason.
"I'll have the same," Jason told the waitress. He gave Courtney a look to see if he could indicate whether or not she wanted an appetizer. As he looked up he seen her head duck as though she was looking at him but didn't want him to know. He smiled. The waitress noticed this and she wonder if they were going out.
"Um…I know that this isn't my business," she began. Jason hated any sentence that began with none of my business because it usually ended with but are you that hit man for the mob boss. "but you two seem really in love and I was wondering how long you've been going out." Courtney looked up at the your young girl who couldn't have been any older than 15, maybe 16. She couldn't believe that she thought her and Jason were in love and dating because all she saw this as was a one -way crush. There was no way that Jason saw her as anything more than a friend. Jason wouldn't say it but he liked that the girl thought they were something special. "I mean I see a lot of couples come in here. And even some couple who have been together for 50 years but none of them seem like you two. I mean you can feel the love. Well look I'm sorry to intrude and I'll be back with your drinks and to take your order." she than walk away a little embarrassed that she was being so nosy.
"Can you believe that she thinks we're dating? I wonder what gave her that idea. She seems nice though. So do you know what your going to get?" Courtney asked trying to break the silence.
Jason just smiled at her. He knew that she could never like him. She just said it herself how she was so surprised that the waitress thought they were going. "Yeah! I'm going to get one of those burgers. How about you?"
"I'm getting the Chicken Wrap. Um.. But what I was thinking was that tonight I'm going to tell Sonny. He needs to know. And I already have an apartment. Plus I want to get this divorce rolling. I can't wait to get rid of AJ," she told him. Jason couldn't tell you how happy he was to hear that she wanted AJ out of her life as quick as possible. "I know I should be more upset but I don't want to be married to someone who never trust me and that I really don't love. But at the same time I don't want to get into a relationship. I'm afraid in a way what if I get hurt.
Jason couldn't believe his ears. He didn't we want her to be afraid to get involved with anyone because he wished every night that Courtney would become his and they would be together. But in a way he understood. AJ is not really a spokes person to keep females interested in the male species. "Look I know that these feelings you plastered up for AJ really have you questioning love but don't give up on it. And look I'm not saying you need to get involved with anyone just yet, but promise me you won't give up on love in the first place?"
"Ok. I promise that I won't give up on love, but that doesn't mean I'm looking for it. I won't go out and seek love, but if it does come I'll see what happens," Courtney smiled. As she smiled Jason couldn't help but smile back. And than Anna, the waitress, came back with their drinks. She took their order and left to give it to the cook. Jason and Courtney continued to talk while they waited for their food. Courtney did most of the talking while Jason preferred to just listen. She told him about summers in Freehold with her grandma, and growing up in Atlantic City. Jason really enjoyed listening to her. He loved to learn about how she turned into such a great person. They finally decided that they should leave if they planned on telling Sonny tonight about her leaving AJ.

Carly stepped out of the elevator and seen just the man she was looking for standing right outside her door. But before she could speak with him she wanted to make sure his husband wasn't home. Lord knows that he would ask her a million questions and he wouldn't take her not answering. As she entered her penthouse she called for Sonny. Hoping to get no answer. After she got no answer Carly walked back over to the penthouse door and peaked her head out. "Hey! Marco is Sonny or Michael home?"
Marco turned to face her. For some reason he was a little nervous. He felt like something was going to happen and he didn't want to look at her. "I'm sorry Mrs. Corinthos but you're all by yourself. Sonny went to the warehouse and Michael is at the park with Leticia. Is there anything I can help you with?"
She looked at Marco with a look on her face that told him if you only knew. "Well in fact you can. Please come in and go have a seat," Carly told him as she gestured toward the couch. Marco was a bit hesitant to enter the room. He had a feeling that whatever he said would cause a problem for someone. He just wasn't sure who.
Marco finally walked into the room and headed toward the couch. Carly closed the door as a smile spread across her face. She was going to get some of the answers she needed to figure out how some much was happening right under her. Carly continued to walk over to the mini bar, "Macro would you like something to drink?"
Marco could feel the sweat forming on his temples. He didn't know why he was so nervous. He has faced many thing far worse than Carly and he wasn't ever nervous than, but for some reason with Carly all he wanted to do was run like a little child. She continued to stare at him waiting for an answer. She knew that he was nervous. And she planned on using that to her advantage. "So? Do you or don't you?" Carly said trying to drag him from his thoughts. Still he did not answer she so she poured herself a glass of water and asked again. This time Macro realized that Carly was talking to him and left his thought for a moment.
"No, no thank you Carly. Look I should really get back to work. I don't want to lose my job or have anything happen to you," Marco told her as he tried to get up only to be stopped by Carly.
"Stop trying to get out of talking to me. Now you won't lose your job because if Sonny comes home I'll tell him I asked you into talk and wouldn't take no for an answer. And you can protect me best when your with me. So you're not leaving. Not yet. I have to talk to you about something," she told him as she got him to sit back down.
Marco was now really nervous. He didn't know what she wanted to talk about, but figure it was probably bad because she had never ask to talk to him alone. He was started to get choked up, "So uh… what is it that you want to talk about?"
Carly just smiled at him. She loved that he was nervous, even though she wasn't sure why he was. "So you have no ideal why I want to talk to you do ya?" Marco just nodded. He was a little afraid to answer. He had a feeling that maybe it was Jason for some reason. Because as he sat and thought about what Carly would want to talk to him about that was the only thing that made since. He knew that Carly didn't really care about the business she was more into Jason's personal life. "Well I wanted to talk to you about something that you saw this morning when you went to Jason's penthouse this morning. So why don't you tell me what you saw and how you perceived things?"
Marco began to relax as soon as she started to say Jason. He let out a sigh of relief. Carly was just trying to bud into Jason's life. He had nothing to be nervous about unless Jason finds out that he told Carly everything he knows that has been going on over at his penthouse. "Well, do you mean this morning when I went into Mr. Morgan penthouse and seen him and Mrs. Quartermaine asleep on the couch." Carly simply nodded. She was going to get her answers if it was the last thing that she did. "They were ahhh…wrapped up in one and others arms. It look as though they were hugging and fell asleep. If it weren't for the fact that they had on clothes I would have thought that they had just had sex and fell asleep. But Courtney face also had tear stains. So I would guess she was crying and Jason he uhh… he was comforting her and they fell asleep."
She sat and listened, but totally missed the part when he had said that they were clothed. And when Marco said that Courtney had tears stained cheeks she figured that the two had slept together and Jason was so good he brought her to tears. Carly was now giddy assuming that Jason and Courtney were in a relationship and she had proof. Marco had basically just told her or so she thought.
"Well Max actually knows more about Jason's personal life right now than I do because Jason has asked him to do a few things. So uh you need to talk to him but there's something else that seems a little weird now that I'm looking back at it Jason he uh…he"
Than the door opened and in walked the last person that Carly wanted to enter.
