Becoming Elizabeth [6]

Alexis Davis eyed Billy while she drank her morning coffee. Something about the new version grabbed her attention bold, loud and bitchy. Not rich tart stuck up bitchy, but just plan old raunchy bitch. Carly had said something to her a got a Gucci outfit ruined, Courtney begged her to behave herself. The whole time Billy shrugged, Sonny came in and sighed and asked Billy to behave.

-Hey if Wifie can't be nice I don't have to. -

Alexis took in Sonny, while he studied Billy, she knew him well enough to know there where buttons you didn't push in people and Sonny of all people was going out of his way not to push Billy's buttons. The Cassadine in her marked and filed it away for future reference, what was it about the new Elizabeth Willimina Weber that made even Sonny Corinthos think twice?

-Can I help you?-

-What?-

-You've been eyeing me from go. What do you want?-

-Alexis Davis, lawyer.-

-I don't have money and I didn't break any laws.-

-So?-

-You ain't here for me?-

-No, I just find you interesting.-

-Boarding school right?-

-Yes, why?-

-Interesting.- Billy said mockingly while plopping into the seat opposite Alexis.

Alexis eyes her.

-I'm not picking on you.-

-Really?-

-I find it interesting that high-class lawyer and lady has an interest in me. Whom has been called on occasion the scum of the earth.-

-Have you?-

-Yes. I piss off people apron first meetings.-

-I've notice I was in the Cellar when you made that announcement.-

-Why where you eyeing me by the way?-

-Sonny.-

Billy eyed Alexis carefully. Then smiled.

-Bad blood. There a story there I'd like to hear it.-

-No.-

-Oh come on, I'm sure your dying to tell the story.-

-Not really.-

-You where in love with him. Probably still are.-

-What will it take to shut you up?-

-Nerve?-

-No.- Alexis sighed.

-Yes. So what happened that bitch Carly pull a stunt.-

-Right in one.-

-Why didn't you fight. You seem like the better women.-

-Oh I don't know Carly's improved... an inch.-

Billy laughed. Carly notice.

-What are you doing here. I told you weren't welcome.-

-Kiss it Carly. Your mad cause you didn't win.-

-Really? Well here's a thought get out.-

-Carly your getting into legal territory right now.-

-Shut up Alexis.-

-Hey! What your mouth!-

Alexis and Carly jumped at Billy's out burst.

-I've had it with you and your bullshit! You are not better then me or anybody else cause your husband is Mr. Corinthos and frankly I'm up to the neck in how fucking tired of your bullshit I am. So from this point on you got something say, say it through Morgan or your husband. Or I swore if I hear your voice again.- Billy grounded that last part out.

-I think Billy's made her point why don't you tell Sonny Carly and run along.-

Alexis looked at Billy who seem to be fuming

-You okay?-

-Rich wife with shity attitude bad memories.-

-Ah.-

-And I really was tired of her bullshit.-

-Sonny has the patience of Job.-

-You seem to be happy she's gone you going to come to my club and tell me about it.-

-That and order?-

-Yes. Later Lexy-

Alexis smiled this should get interesting.

Jason was now looking for Billy, according to Carly she threatened her with bodily harm and that wasn't going to happen. Jason had avoided this meeting sense the night into he club when she left after her strip session. He didn't know what to think when he fell for Courtney it was while she was in the middle this she needed him to help her out. Billy didn't seem to need anybody completely different form the Liz he once knew.

-Morgan?-

-You threaten Carly?-

-Yeah what about it?-

The tone made Jason think twice about what he said next.

-Don't.-

-Oh I've heard that tone before didn't scare me then, and it never will. You keep her out of my face and I won't have to make good don't and...-

-You good and making them can you keep them?-

Jason couldn't believe that he was threatening Elizabeth.

-Don't do that. I'm not her and if she had balls she kick you in yours now. Let me be straight like you, I ain't little miss Lizzi anymore. Like you I'm just as if not as dangerous as you are, you want to go ten rounds over that women go ahead. I like Courtney but I don't roll over for anybody. Bye Morgan.-

She walked away fuming again, she was letting Carly let a small squabble get out of hand and she needed control. Luc watched the whole incident.

-Hey pal you need to deal with her. I got what you need.-

-Really? How do I know this ain't some game?-

-Trust me Billy likes to forget where she came from. She shouldn't.-

Jason didn't like the sound of that at all. He indulges this idiot for now.

-So what do you have to say about Billy?-

-What do you want to know?-

-Everything they didn't tell me in Vegas.-

-She's a hooker for one.-

Jason swallows a lump in his throat.

-Don't let her fool you she worthless tramp. She's clean now but she'll be back on the chrap again in no time and selling it to whoever byes it. She killed a guy that's why she left town got this rage in her like the hulk. Blacks out and never know what happens she sold out a couple of people including me and she owes money, the rest of them where glad to be rid of her. I won't let her off that easy.-

Jason took it in. It made since, but Billy never clamed to be a saint. In fact she even admitted to a couple of crimes. He looked this guy over if what he said was true Billy was dangerous or in need of help. He has to mull it over with Sonny.

Penthouse

-I don't buy it. In fact I don't by most of it.-

-I checked she was a hooker for a year then she got out.-

-Why?-

-A John put her in the hospital, after she killed him for beating on her.-

-Did you ask her?-

-No.-

-I think you should. I'll deal with Carly.-

Jason walled into 101 and looked around.

-Harry! You go find out if Luke's got a spot you jackass!-

Jason looked to find Elizabeth soaking wet.

-What Morgan?-

-You alright?-

-Not really busted water pipe. Harry! Get me a plumber or I'm going to use this wrench on you... you monkey!-

-I thought I was fired?- Harry said.

-Are you getting snotty? I said call a plumber.-

-Sure thing boss.-

Liz walked back to her office, Jason followed her, when he walked in she was topless. She turned her back to him and revealed what looked like a raised tattoo of a dragon. Jason cleared his throat.

-Unusual?-

-All the rage these days boss got really pissed when I came to work with it.-

-What happened?-

-I was good they got over it.-

-I talked to a Luc yesterday.-

-Son of Bitch he wont quit.-

-Said you where a hooker.-

-He was being polite when he was selling me, he was calling me his prized whore.-

Jason blinked.

-He's your pimp.-

-Was my pimp and my dealer.-

-Dealer.-

-I don't know what YOUR Liz was like but I'm no angel didn't have anybody didn't have anything. I did what I had to do.-

Jason wanted to say she had her family but Liz was just like him. She didn't know those people from Adam why should she let them help.

-Why didn't you go after her?- Billy asked out of no were.

-I didn't love her.-

Jason couldn't believe he'd just said that. But he did he didn't love Elizabeth, but he knew he could. He could have loved everything about her but he didn't he fell for someone stronger and less needy then Elizabeth was. If she were anything like Courtney then he wouldn't have thought twice. He woke when she snapped her fingers.

-Where'd ya go.-

-I'm sorry.-

-For what, that was her, from what I heard I can see why. She's a chump, raped, suckered and duped.-

-Elizabeth wasn't a chump.-

Billy's eyes went up in surprise.

-No then what? I ain't ugly, most people prefer me to some blonds I know. So why'd you leave her high and dry?-

Jason didn't answer.

-Chump.-

-Liz was a good woman.-

-Just not the one for you. Courts a good girl, young and naive, but tuff and she'll learn fast. Perfect for all your ruff sides. You didn't come to discuss the not so finer points of the late Lizzi Weber so talk to me. Montgomery's a moron, believe his horseshit and he'll bring you and Sonny down single handily. Trust me I've seen him do it.-

-What does he want?-

-Revenge. After I killed that guy I made him bad news all over Vegas. Put him out of business he was his prize piece back then and I ain't scared or nieve anymore.-

-So he tells me this so you'd come running back.-

-It's been a year he knows shit about me or what I've been through. He's an -

-Idiot.-

They looked at each other.

-I'll run him out of town.-

-No, the Cajun ain't going easy trust me. No he's going to need an ass whooping before long. Be careful how you deal with him and be careful of Court. Don't go getting her hurt or I'll have to hurt you.-

Something crashed.

-Harry! I'm calling Luke's you jackass.-

-Boss that wasn't me it was the plumber I'm going to quit you keep blaming me for everything.-

-Did you just talk back to me!-

-No boss I don't know who that was.-

-Funny. Don't stand there like a speed bump find out what he did.-

-I want a raise.-

-What was that?-

-Temporary loss of sanity.-

-That what I thought.-

-For working here.-

-Always got to have the last word don't you? Don't you? Don't say anything!-

Harry disappeared mumbling something Billy let out flustered cry and walked Jason to the door. By 10 the place was bumping as usual. Alexis came in and was meet at the door.

-Ms. Davis this way pleases.-

Billy was sitting her private both having a glass of vodka.

-Vodka?-

-Why not.-

-So Lexy talk to me. Cause I get the distinct feeling you don't have many lady friend around this town.-

-I had a sister and a friend she was murder as was my sister.-

-Damn, Sonny?-

-No, not directly.-

-You where close.-

-Once.-

-Tell me about it.-

Alexis never expected to tell her anything. But she did she told her everything including who Kristina real father was. By the time she was done Harry was closing up and Alexis felt better then any of her session with Cameron.

-Boy, you need to do something other then get into trouble.-

-What Billy?-

-These Quatermains sound like a problem. There ain't a problem I don't know how to solve and you need to get back in with Sonny. Just to piss Carly off, not like she doesn't deserve it. But first meet here tomorrow.-

-Why?-

-You'll see.-

Alexis watched her go.
