Chapter 13

Jase: Sonny what can I do for you. I was kind of in the middle of something. He grins. Sonny nods his head.

Sonny: Yeah I kind of figured that but I have to let you in on something. It is going to upset you a great deal since I have known for about a week and haven't told you. Sonny walks in the penthouse.

Liz: Should I go upstairs and give you 2 some time to talk?

Sonny: No Liz, stay you need to hear this too. It affects you also not just Jason and me. Liz sits back down on the couch.

Jase: What's going on Sonny?

Sonny: I talked with Courtney a couple of weeks ago. I also ran a DNA test then because something just didn't seem right with her. I found out she isn't my sister, when I confronted her she said that her and Ric had teamed up together and were trying to cause problems so that Ric could lay claim on my territory and take over. Sonny stops to take a breath. He continues. I told her that it would never happen and that she needed to leave town. She told me that she was, and stupid me believed it. Now that she knows she wont be getting Jason back she is scheming again. This time I know it's not Ric. I had Ric dealt with. I have Benny digging trying to find out who she is teamed with now. Liz started looking scared.

Jase: Liz honey what's wrong. I won't let Courtney hurt you, I hope you know that. Liz nods her head. Good then what is wrong.

Liz: I just have a feeling that it's going to get worse before it gets better. I have a feeling that he is going to come after me.

Jase: Liz who is going to come after you? Tom won't get near you I promise. Sonny excuses himself.

Sonny: I think that you need time to comprehend this. He leaves the penthouse. On his way out he turns around, OH Jase before I forget. Courtney will not come around you or Liz again. She now has a bodyguard and has until the end of the week to leave town. I made it clear that if she ever stepped foot in my territory again I would personally kill her myself.

Jase: Sonny 1 question though. Why haven't you killed her now this isn't like you?

Sonny: I wanted to be able to trust her. That was my mistake. I am sorry Liz I will never forget who my real sister is. It may not be by blood but you have been more of a sister to me than anyone else has. Sonny turns to leave. Jason walks over and sits down by Liz.

Jase: Honey, trust me I will not let anything happen to you. Liz nods her head.

Liz: I know that Jase. But I can't help but worry. There will be a time when you have to go back to work and then you wont be there to protect me.

Jase: No I might not be there but Liz; there will be other guards around namely Francis and Johnny. Even Max will be there. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. All three of them think of you like a little sister and they would die before they let anything happen to you. They have specific orders that they are to be with you at all times no matter where you are. If you go into the lady's room someplace they will be right outside the door. If you go into a dressing room they will be right outside the dressing room door. They are not to leave you alone. Liz nods her head.

Liz: Ok Jase I trust you but I would feel better if you are with me.

Jase: I know Honey and I will be there as much as I can. Now I have a great idea. GO get your coat. Lets go for a ride. You need to feel the wind again. Liz grins.

Liz: Be Right Back. She runs up the stairs. She comes down a few minutes later in her black leather coat that he gave her for Christmas their first year as friends. They walk to the closet and grab Jason's coat.

Vista Point

Jase: So Liz, what do you think? He turns to look at Liz.

Liz: What do I think about what Jason? I think that we need to discuss what we were trying to discuss earlier. She grins at him. He leans in to her. She leans in to him. Jase, what are we doing. He looks at her.

Jase: What does it look like I am trying to do. She grins. He leans in farther. His lips slowly touch hers. The kiss is slow and gentle. She pulls back.

Liz: Wow. She shakes her head. Jason are you sure this is what you want? I mean last time we tried this you were never home and couldn't even call me to let me know you are alive.

Jase: Liz I made mistakes. I realize that. Being with Courtney has shown me what I am missing without you in my life. I mean Courtney was always trying to make me happy but for some reason it just wasn't the same as it was when I knew I was coming home to you.  Liz trust me when I say this. I love you. I have and always will love you. Courtney was a mistake that I made. One that I regret.

Liz: Jase don't regret your time with her. She made you realize certain things. For that I will never be able to repay her. Jase let me tell you this though; I will never forgive her for how it she got you though. She tried to befriend me. She made me think that she was trying to help me get you back when in reality she was trying to get you herself and it worked. You of all people know how much I hate liars and here she was being a backstabber. It all worked out for the best though. She grabs Jason's hand. We are right where we should be. We are with each other.

Jase: Together not just with each other. I am not letting you go again.

Liz: Together forever? I kind of like that and I trust you and I trust that. Let's go home. I just want to curl up on the couch and watch a movie with you.
