Chapter 12

The Loft

Sonny knocks on the door.

Sonny: Hey Courtney if you are in there open this door right now.

Courtney opens the door.

Courtney: what's wrong? Why are you acting so mad? What did I do?

Sonny: Can I come in or do you want to have this conversation in the hallway? Courtney steps aside and lets him in. Sonny walks in and sits down on the couch.

Sonny: Courtney why did you do it? Why did you have to go and try and talk to Jason again. Didn't I make it clear the last time? Stay the hell away from him and Liz. They want nothing to do with you. If Jason knew the whole truth you would be dead instead of me telling you to get out of town. If you are not out of town by the end of the week he will know it all.

Sonny stands up and walks to the door.

Sonny: Oh and one other thing, if I ever see your face around this town again I will kill you myself. Sonny walks out the door. Courtney sits down and starts to cry. The plan has blown up in her face and now she has to figure out what to do now.

Kelly's Diner

Jason walks in and sees Francis sitting in the corner drinking coffee. Jason walks up to the counter.

Jase: Hey Liz how's it going.

Liz: It's fine. Want some coffee?

Jase: Sure. Do you know how I like it? I am going to go relieve Francis. He walks over to Francis.

Jase: You can leave now Francis I am going to be here until she is done. Sonny might need you for something else you need to check in with him for sure.

Francis: Yeah sure ok I am out of here. Francis turns to leave. He turns back. I'll see you later Liz. He walks out the door. Liz walks over bringing Jase his coffee.

Liz: Hey Jase don't get too comfortable I am done in a matter of ten minutes.

Jase: Ok just order some dinner for us too. I'll pay of course.

Liz: Sure what do you want?

Jase: Do you even need to ask? You have been my waitress how many times? I always order the same thing he jokes.

Liz grins and walks away.

10 Minutes later.

Liz: Hey Jase, Lets get out of hear. Liz says coming over with the take out order. He nods his head and stands up. He leaves a 20 on the table and walks out with Liz.

Penthouse:

Liz and Jase walk into the penthouse.

Jase: Where were we before we were interrupted?

Liz: I believe we were clearing the air.

Jase: I believe we were past clearing the air. He goes to sit on the couch. Come join me Liz. Liz shakes her head.

Liz: Nope dinner will get cold we have to eat now. She goes to get drinks and plates. Liz comes back into the living room. She sits down across from Jason on the floor.

Liz: I brought you a beer. I didn't know what else you would want.

Jase: That's fine he goes to grab his beer. Liz looks across at Jason and gets lost in his eyes.

Jase: Liz, LIZ!!! She shakes her head.

Liz: What why are you yelling?

Jase: I was trying to get your attention for 5 minutes. What are you staring at? She shakes her head.

Liz: Nothing just thinking.

Jase: Come on, come sit on the couch with me. She stands up and comes over and sits next to him. Jason looks deep into Liz's eyes. She stares back. He leans in to her. She starts to lean towards him when there is a knock on his penthouse door.

Jase: Damn it who is knocking now. Why are we always getting interrupted? He stands up. This better be good he yells to the door. Jase opens the door and there stands Sonny.
