Chapter 2
For the sake of argument it is around November time.
Sonny put his drink down and turned to look at Jason. Sonny was still in shock over the fact that Jason and Courtney knew each other before hand.
"So how do you guys know each other?" Sonny questioned. Jason wondered if he should say the truth or if he should just do the basis of the relationship. He still didn't really understand his whole relationship with Courtney.
"Well while I was traveling in Italy I think, I met Courtney in a bar and we struck up a friendship." Jason explained. Jason took a sip of water.
"So were you guys ever sexual?" Sonny kind of figured it out that they were more than friends he just needed to know what exactly. Jason spit out his drink at this comment, which caused Carly to laugh.
"Um, sexual. Well we kissed." Jason knew that Sonny didn't want to know all the gory details so he silently prayed to God that he didn't question him anymore. "Does this bother you at all? You know me and Courtney."
"At this moment it doesn't really bother me but who knows." Sonny stated trying to diffuse the situation.
"Well you know what I have to go and talk to Emily about the wedding. See if there is anything I can do." Jason said kind of quickly and then he left.
"I hope you don't believe him talking about 'we kissed.'" Carly exclaimed as she fell on the couch. Sonny winced a little and then joined Carly putting her head on his chest.
"I kind of got the picture."
Meanwhile across town
Courtney just got out of the shower and put on her silky black robe. She pulled her hair up in a messy bun and then began unpacking. She was still kind of in shock that her bed buddy, Jason Morgan, was not only her brother's best friend and hitman but also they same person she sort of traveled with in Europe. She heard a special knock on the door.
"It's open." Courtney replied since she already knew who it was. It used to be their special code when they would want to talk to each other. The door opened and she heard footsteps behind her. Courtney felt a pair of hands snake around her waist while grabbing her tightly.
"Why did you leave me there to explain to Sonny what exactly our relationship was?" Jason said as he whispered in his ears as he tried to appear angry.
"Well I figured you could deal with him. I may not have known my brother long but I know that I wouldn't have the patients with some of his questions. So how did it go?"
"It went great. I didn't tell him in so many words that we would have sex occasionally.."
"Occasionally?" Courtney said as she raised her eyebrows in curiosity.
"Well frequently even though I think he got the idea. He doesn't have a problem with it or anything I think he is just still in shock like I am." Jason replied as he took his leather jacket off and lay down on the bed.
"I was also in shock to see you. I really missed you." Courtney replied as she walked over to the bed and then went to straddle his mid-section. She was pleased when she heard him groan; glad that she still had that effect on him.
Jason opened his once closed eyes and then looked in Courtney's baby blue sparkling eyes. "I really missed you too, Court." Jason replied as he put his hand on Courtney's cheek and pulled her down into a passionate kiss that soon lead into something else.
Chapter 3
A/n here is a hint about the Journey relationship: Even though they were bed buddies, they were kind of more just never admitted it to each other.
Jason woke up and was glad that he had not just dreamed making love to the beautiful creature beside him. He pulled her closer to him and then started kissing on her neck. Courtney turned around and started kissing him also with just as much intensity only to stop when she heard banging on the door. She started to pull away only to have Jason pull her back into another kiss.
"Maybe if we are quiet their go away." Jason said as he went back to kissing Courtney. When the knocking kept going Courtney pulled back very angry mumbling a sorry.
"Who is it?" Courtney yelled making sure that the person disturbing her heard her question.
"Carly." She yelled right back.
"She is definitely not leaving unless she knows you are dead so you better go and get it. I'll stay in here." Jason said knowing how Carly is. Courtney gave him a quick peck, grabbed her robe, and went on her way to meet Carly. She opened the door and let Carly in.
"What took you so long?" Carly felt as though she had been waiting outside for about 5 minutes.
"Well, I was sleeping and I thought you may just go away on your own." Courtney said truthfully laughing at the comment. "So what did you come here for?"
" I just wanted to see if you would join me, Sonny, and the boys for dinner tomorrow night." Carly replied hoping that she would accept that for the truth. In all truthfulness, she came to get the scoop on her and Jason as well as get her the invite.
"I don't see why not. But that really isn't the reason you came huh Carly." Courtney saw the glint of defeat in her eyes and knew she was right. She had a gift of knowing how somebody felt at the moment. If only she could use that on her own life.
"Ok you caught me. After the conversation Sonny had with Jason, it left me with a lot of questions about you guys like how serious were you guys."
"We weren't serious at all Carly. We messed around that was it." Courtney said really trying to show that she didn't want to talk about the whole situation.
"I don't believe you." Carly stated.
"Well that is all the answer you are getting out of me. I really need to go and take a shower so if you don't mind…" Courtney didn't want to just come right out and say get the hell out of my house but she really just wanted Carly to leave.
"Okay I get the hint. I will leave my questions for another time. But don't think you're off the hook." Carly said as she hugged Courtney and then left. Courtney walked back to the bedroom and crawled into bed with Jason.
"So what did she want?"
"Guess."
"She wanted to know about us." He saw Courtney nod and knew he was right. "What did she ask?"
"She asked if we were serious and I told her no."
Jason backed up with a pretend angry look on his face.
"How can you say we weren't serious? I mean even though we didn't put a title or anything on it we traveled together for almost a year." Courtney took a look at him and decided to play along.
"Well if I would have gotten a ring maybe I would have said it was serious."
"Really. I could have gotten you a ring out the candy machine for all that."
Jason said jokingly with a little bit of seriousness in his voice. Courtney caught on even though he didn't mean for it to slip out. Courtney lay on top of him with her head on her hands, which was on his chest.
"Are you serious or are you just joking with me? Did you really want to have a serious, meaningful relationship with me?" Courtney asked as she stared into his eyes searching for a honest answer to an important question to her.
Chapter 4
"Are you serious or are you just joking with me? Did you really want to have a serious, meaningful relationship with me?" Courtney asked as she stared into his eyes searching for a honest answer to an important question to her.
Jason was about to answer her when his cell phone ringed. Courtney let out a big sigh and rolled off of Jason completely upset that another interruption interrupted a moment between Jason and her. Jason understood the feeling but knew that he may need to take the phone call.
"Morgan."
"Hey Jase, it's Em. I just wanted to see if you were back in town." It would be his little sister calling to check up on him to ruin the mood.
"Yeah. I got in town about 3 hours ago. I was just settling in."
"Well, how about you have dinner with me at Kelly's so that we could catch up and such. I don't really know what you have been doing for about the past 2 years." Emily knew that the guilt would get Jason over to Kelly's quicker.
It worked. "Alright I will be try to be there in 15 minutes."
"Thank you." Then they hung up the phone. Jason moved from out of the bed so that his feet were planted on the ground. He pulled his boxers on and then stood up.
"That was Emily. She wanted me to meet her for dinner." Jason spoke in a quiet tone. They both felt the uneasiness that had suddenly came between them. They wanted it to go away but didn't want the other to go away.
"Yeah I heard. Well we can finish the conversation later." Courtney said trying to make the situation better. Jason nodded and finished putting the rest of his clothes on. Jason put his leather jacket on and then gave Courtney a small lingering kiss on her forehead hoping to answer her question through the kiss. He then grabbed his cell phone and left her hotel suite.
Jason arrived in Kelly's about 20 minutes later. He saw Emily sitting at a table near the window with a glass of Coke sitting in front of her.
"Hey Em." Emily looked up and saw her long lost brother. She ran up to hug him and felt very happy that he finally decided to come back home.
"Hey Jason. God it is so good to see you. I am very proud of myself that I was able to bring you back to Port Charles."
"Well don't get your hopes up. I don't even know if I am staying." Jason replied and then he began to think if maybe Courtney was staying in town.
"No you are going to be staying in town. I mean this is your home rather you like to think of it that way or not. You need to stay here." Jason knew better than to try and argue with this subject at the present moment and decided to take up the conversation at another time.
"Well how's the wedding going?"
Emily lit up at the mention of the wedding started talking about it instantly. While she started talking about the wedding, Jason started thinking about Courtney and some of the good times they spent together traveling. They had lots of fun together and were good friends too. Even though they never were really in the committed relationship, they still cared deeply about each other and would have done about anything for each other. He still felt the connection they had and knew she felt it too. He just needed to know if he would have enough guts to go through with it.
" Jase…Jase…( Emily replied as she started raising her hand in front of his face. When she realized that she finally got his attention she asked a question only a sister would ask.) Who is she?"
"Who is who Em, what are you talking about?"
"The girl that has you spaced out so long that your not even paying attention to the subject you brought on."
"No one. I don't know what you are talking about." Jason looked at Emily and decided that he didn't feel like talking about Courtney until he decided his feelings on his own. Luckily, Emily's cell phone started ringing and since it was Nikolas she happily obliged to let Jason leave the conversation alone. Jason signaled to Emily that he was leaving. He went back to his penthouse and went to sleep thinking about all of the past memories of Courtney and him.
