Jason walks into Luke's. It's crowded as always, but Luke is nowhere to be found. He sits down at the bar, still reeling from the kiss with Brenda. "Hey there, Morgan! What can I get you" Luke greets him as he jumps up from behind the bar causing Jason to jump. "Whatever you've got on tap." Jason replies, "When did you get back?" "Just yesterday." Luke says handing him a beer. "Thanks, did you find Laura?" Luke begins absent-mindedly cleaning shot glasses, "No I didn't, but Cassadine knows where she is, I'll figure it out, the sick bastard." "Sorry to hear that." Jason says taking a drink. "Well enough about me, which isn't something I often say so make this interesting, what's up with you?" Luke insists. "Well, Courtney and I broke up, after she slept with A.J. and um Emily was diagnosed with breast cancer." Jason begins. "Jason, I'm sorry, Lucky told me about that. She'll be alright, she's a fighter." Luke tells him apologetically. "Thanks, and well, Brenda is back. That's about it." Jason finishes. "Well that might be good news for Jax when he gets back." Luke says continuing his commentary. "Good news for me." mutters Jason under his breath, taking another drink. Luke hears it, and drops the shot glass he was cleaning, it shatters. Jason looks up at a now curious Luke.
How many heartaches must I stand
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, yeah it's almost gone.
Brenda is on her way back to the PC Hotel. She passes by a closed Kelly's, and looks in the window. Liz and Emily are at a table chatting over chocolate shakes. Liz notices Brenda and gets up to open the door for her. "Hey Brenda!" she greets her giving her a hug. "Hey Liz, um I didn't mean to interrupt, I was just on my way back to the hotel-" "No don't be silly," Liz assures her, "Come on sit down, have a shake, I've been wanting to talk to you." Brenda looks at Emily who smiles and nods. Brenda pulls another chair up to the table, Liz pours her a shake, and sits down. "Thanks." Brenda tells her taking a sip. Both Emily and Liz are looking at her smiling. "What?" Brenda asks. "So, spill! What's really going on with you and Jason?" Liz blurts out. "Wait-what? How did you know? Emily?" "I didn't tell her much I said you've seen him but that was a while ago, I was about to say more, but I didn't. How do you know, Liz?" Emily asks. Liz looks at both of them laughing and begins, "Well, one night after I closed up, Jason came to see me. He said it was about how I was doing with everything, with Ric. I knew better. So we ended up talking, about him…and you." "What did he say?" Brenda asks urgently. "It was all good, don't worry." Liz smiles, "So I'll ask again, what's been going on with you two?" Liz and Emily look at Brenda who is dying to tell them, "Ok…" she begins slowly.
I remember mama said
You can't hurry love
No you'll just have to wait
She said love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
"So let me see if I got this straight," Luke begins handing Jason another drink, "You…and Brenda?!?" "Well, I don't know really. I mean-" Jason is cut off by Luke. "Didn't you two hate each other? I mean most of the time it was like some kind of holy war between the two of you!" "Oh it was not a war," Jason scoffs, "You-you and Stefan, Lucky and Stefan, all the Spencers versus the Cassadines that's a war. Me and Brenda we were just like, I don't know what." "Well what are you now?" Luke asks pouring himself a drink. "Well…you know I don't know that either." Jason replies. "God Jason what have you done with her, where have you gone with her, dinner, your place, her place what?" Luke presses on. "Why do you care so much?" Jason asks irritated. "Because I've been gone for a while, I need to know these things. If I don't know what's going on the whole town, all the power is thrown to either your kooky grandpa or worse…Count Vlad. So talk!" Luke demands. "Ok well…she came to my place when she first got in," Jason begins, "We went to Kelly's, and yesterday night, I went to her room at 2 A.M. and kind of had her come with me to my place-" "Oh this could get good after all." Luke says excited. "Shut up. She said she wanted to know how to pick a lock and I taught her. Then she left." "You're lying." Luke insists, "What else happened." "No, nothing." Jason tells him, "That's it." Luke smiles playfully, "Jason…did you kiss her?" "W-What?" Jason asks wondering how he knew. "You heard me.' Luke continues, "Did you kiss her?" Finally Jason gives in, "Yes." "Ahhh! I knew it, never try to get anything past Luke Spencer you will fail!!!" Luke yells kind of dancing around. "Well, you know I don't know if it meant anything to her, or me." Jason lies. "Oh-Oh really now, it didn't mean anything? Anything?" Luke teases. "No I-I don't think it did." Jason lies again. In a surprise move Luke jumps over the bar and kisses Jason, as if he was trying to prove something. "What the hell Luke? What was that?" Jason yells taking a drink. "That, my boy, that was a kiss that didn't mean anything!" Luke yells happily also taking a drink still dancing around, "Now I doubt that was at all like your kiss with Brenda." "Alright Brenda's kiss meant something to me. What do I do now? A-And you just stay on that side of the bar." Jason says calming down. Luke stops dancing, turns to Jason and says quietly, "Well, if it meant something to both of you, you kiss her again Morgan!" Jason looks at him and sets down his drink. "You're right. You're right Luke." He throws a few bills on the bar and puts his jacket on, "That is for you. I will see you later!" He walks out of the bar, as Luke yells after him "Go get that girl you crazy kid!" He goes back over the bar to clean more shot glasses and says to himself, "What would this town do without me?"
No, I cant bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that I, I can't go on
These precious words keep me hangin' on
"You kissed him!?!" Emily says shocked. "Well, no…he kissed me." Brenda corrects her. "Oh my God. So…what then?" Liz asks excited. "What do you mean what then, I left nothing else happened." "No I mean what did you like it, were you surprised?" Liz explains. Liz and Emily are both staring intently at Brenda. "Yeah, I mean I don't know if it meant anything to him, but I…well lets just say I was happily surprised." Brenda tells them. "Oh my God, of course it meant something to him!" Liz says. Emily continues Liz's sentence, "Yeah, he wouldn't have kissed you if it didn't mean anything." "You think?" Brenda asks. "We know." Liz assures her, "And he kidnapped you and taught you how to pick a lock, that is so sweet." "Yeah that was fun." Brenda says. "You know he never did anything like that with Courtney." Emily tells both of them. "Or me-"Liz begins. "Oh Liz, I'm sorry are you ok with this?" Brenda asks worried. "Oh yeah I'm fine. We're friends. I've moved on, and obviously so has he. Besides we weren't really even together." "Ok. So, I don't know what now?" Brenda asks. "Go talk to Jason. Then you'll know what to do." Emily tells her. "You're right. I will. I'll go see him tomorrow. But right now I have to go. And you should too, if Jason finds out I kept you out talking this late, I don't think we'd go anywhere else. Liz you too." Brenda says. They get up, clear away the dishes, and Brenda gives each of them a hug. "I'll see you guys later." "Bye" Emily and Liz say overlapping each other. Brenda walks out and heads for the hotel. Emily and Liz look at each other and smile. "You want to stay at my place tonight?" Emily asks. "Definitely." Liz tells her, knowing they'll spend the entire night talking about Jason and Brenda. "She's going to be good for my brother." Emily says to Liz. Liz turns off the light and they walk out.

It's a game of give and take
I can't hurry love
No, you'll just have to wait
She said trust, give it time
No matter how long it takes, gotta wait.
