He stood there. Letting the rain soak him to the bone. Just standing there staring at the reflection in that window. The reflection of what could only be Courtney. He could barely make out her blond hair. She almost saw him though so he had to hide behind a tree. He thought for sure that she had seen him but when he finally returned to his spot so that he could watch her, she didn't seem suspicious at all. He knew that she was saying something but he couldn't make it out. Was she talking to herself or was someone else there? That thought made him tense up. But that was silly, he had no right to be jealous if she was with someone else. They had both made choices and now they had to deal with the consequences, even if it killed them.
He sighed, he seemed like a stalker. Standing outside her window and watching her like this. Stalker He thought. That one simple word held so many memories for him and Courtney. They all came rushing back as if a tidal wave.
He looked down for a moment and when he looked back up she had vanished. Curious, he moved closer, trying to look through the window for her. Maybe she went to bed or something. He tried to assure himself. Or maybe she's coming out here. He started to panic. He was about to leave when Courtney reappeared. The only thing was that she wasn't alone. She was with a tall blond guy.
He moved closer still, trying to get a better glimpse of the guy. He didn't know him, he hadn't even seen him around town. Courtney however appeared to know him.
All too well He thought bitterly as the blond wrapped his arms around Courtney in a hug.
The hug was followed by a peck on the cheek and then they disappeared from sight. Probably sitting on the couch or something.
His and Courtney's couch. He could picture the blond kissing her on that couch just as he had done before.
He could be her cousin for all you know. He tried to reason with himself.
Not being able to see them and what they were doing was driving him crazy. He had to get out of there before he lost it. Before he marched up there and declared his love for her. Before he kissed those sweet lips again and made it clear that she was taken.
But he couldn't. He couldn't do any of those things no matter how much he wanted to. He couldn't for many reasons. The most important being that she had betrayed him and Sonny. Above all, he had to be Jason Morgan, Sonny's enforcer.
