Chapter 8

"Ma'am we are about to land. Please fasten your seatbelt Mrs. Quartermaine."

The pilot spoke over the intercom as he approached the airport. Courtney felt very relieved, happy, and satisfied all at the same time as she did as she was told. She was relieved to be landing, satisfied that they task was completed, and very happy to be able to see Jason. She began to wonder what exactly she meant to Jason. She didn't know if he was feeling the same way she was or if he was just having fun. 'It seems as though he really likes me.'

As soon as she got off the plane to she went to her car, an Expedition, and began to drive to the Harborview Towers. She arrived in about 15 minutes and went up to Jason's penthouse.

"Hey Max, is Jason in there?"

"Yes, he is, Ms. Quartermaine." Max knew that Jason would be happy to see her. She was probably partially the reason why he has been mopping around for about the past week.

"Max it is Courtney. Ms. Quartermaine makes me sound so old." Courtney giggled thinking how the call Monica that and she did not want to be in any association with her at the moment. She walks into the penthouse deciding that she was going to surprise him. She sees him working out with no shirt on. She got to see his back. 'It looks so good.' She thinks to herself. She is mesmerized by how he looks all sweaty and such. She then shakes herself out of all of those dirty thoughts and knocks on the door to catch his attention.

Jason stops his work out at the sound of the knock of the door. He is kind of surprised to see Courtney standing there since she said that she would be in Paris for a couple of more days. He pats himself down with his towel and then moves towards her. He goes over to hug her and but then she moves out the way very quickly. Jason looked at her questioningly.

"You are not hugging me, kissing me, or anything of that nature with all that sweat on you." She looked at with the face that showed him that she was not joking.

"Do you mind waiting here while I take my shower?" He is praying that she says no since he really wants to talk to her.

"I am sure I can busy myself with something around here." Courtney replies with a smirk. She gives him a little peck on the lips.

"Now I thought that you said if I was sweaty no kiss." Jason said becoming amused.

"Well that's just because I like you so much." Courtney replied as she watched him walk up the stairs to take his shower. She begins to look around to see if there is anything she can really do around the penthouse. She doesn't notice any magazines or television. She goes into the kitchen and finds some Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. She grabs the container, finds a spoon and goes back into the living room. She notices the phone and decides to call Skye.

"Hey Skye. What exactly are you doing?" Courtney notices that she is kind of breathing heavy.

"Hey Courtney. I was just running for a bit. When did you get back to Port Charles?"

"About a half hour ago. I am at Jason's apartment." Courtney hears the door open but doesn't look back.

"What are you there?" Skye inquired.

"Well..."

"What the hell are you doing in Jason's penthouse?" Carly demanded as she saw a little tramp that she hated and despised just making herself at home in her best friends penthouse.

"Skye I'll have to talk to you later. The wicked witch of the penthouses has arrived. Bye." Courtney turned around and just looked at Carly. She then sat back at the couch and proceeded to eat the ice cream.

"Answer my question. What the hell are you doing in Jason's penthouse and besides that what the hell are you doing with my ice cream?" She screamed as she eyed Courtney dipping her spoon in the container.

"Well to answer your questions 1 I am here waiting for Jason to finish his shower. And for question 2 I am eating this cause it was in the refrigerator." Courtney explained amused at the whole situation. She cold tell that the news she just told Carly was being processed at the very moment.

"Why would you be waiting on Jason?"

"Maybe because I want to tell him about my trip."

"Why would you want to do that?"

"Maybe because we are a couple." Even though she wasn't sure what exactly the were, she knew that they were sort of close to that. At least she hoped. Plus she loved getting a rise out of Carly.

"Now that is hilarious. You a Quartermaine and him someone who hates the whole neurotic family."

"Well he does so I suggest you get used to it." Courtney immediately became frustrated with the whole argument especially went she brought up her family.

" Excuse me. Look you have only been in his life for about a second while me his best friend has been in his life for years okay. So do not get to comfortable, slut." Carly could not believe the nerve of her trying to act like she had a higher position in Jason's life then she did.

"You want to call me a slut. Do I need to name all of the men you have slept with? Tony, A.J., Jason, Sonny, and probably a dozen more." By the time Courtney finished they were in each other's faces.

"Why you little..." Carly was just about to slap her, when Jason pulled Courtney back by her waist. Jason had heard where the argument was heading a quickly caught Courtney before the argument got really bad. He pulled her into the hall. He dismissed Max and noticed that Coutney was pacing.

"Look at the nerve of her. To call me a slut. I should go and beat the piss out of her." Courtney started mumbling some more to herself before she felt Jason's soft lips on hers. All thoughts of Carly was soon dismissed and all she could think about was this sexy man standing in front of her. Jason pulls back. He presses the elevator button to go down.

"Look I am going to have a limo pick you up at 8:45 since we have a dinner reservation for 9 at the P.C. Grille." Jason instructed as the elevator door opened.

"We do?"

"Yes. And it is about 5 something at the moment and since I know you are going to take forever I suggest you hurry up." Jason joked.

"Alright I'll guess I will go. And Jason thanks." She expressed passionately as the elevator door closed. Jason went to his door feeling something in his heart that felt very surprising to him. He shook off the feeling since he knew he had to deal with Carly at the present moment.
