I cupped my hands to Courtney's face and I looked into her eyes. And right then, I knew we could make it. I would get her out of this mess with Alcazar and I'd marry her. Wishful thinking? I'm calling it a reality.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Courtney asked me. How could she not know?
"I love you. I love you so much. I promise that I'm going to get you out of here. Me and Sonny are giving Alcazar what he wants, you know. And it'll be fine," I blurted out.
"We only have a half an hour Jason, you'd better kiss me again," Courtney smiled and time seemed to stop all at once. We weren't fighting. Neither of us were walking out. There weren't any tears.
"Marry me," It wasn't a question so much as a statement. I knew that I couldn't live the rest of my life without her.
"You're proposing to me on a yacht, while I'm kidnapped, and you have to leave right after Lorenzo comes back in. And you're proposing to me?" Courtney asked.
"Yeah," I replied, "But as soon as I get you out of here, I'll do it all over again."
"God I love you," Courtney said as she grabbed my face and kissed me.
Come and lay on my bed, sit and drink some wine.
I'll try not to make you cry.
And if you get inside my head, then you'd understand.
Then you'd understand why I've felt so alone, why I kept myself from love.
And you became my favortie drug. So let me take you right now and swallow you down.
I need you inside.
I moved my hands up and down her beautiful body, felt for all the places that I knew made her tingle. It had been so long since I'd kissed Courtney like this. Too long. So I kept my hungry mouth on hers and came to the realization that I could never let her go again.
If we had this night together.
If we had a moment to ourselves.
If we had this night together, then we'd be unstoppable.
I needed her to know that I meant what I said about marrying her, so I reached for the necklace that I knew she kept her rings on. I tore my mouth from hers, immediately noticing her gasping for air. It was good to know that I still left her breathless, because she still definetely had that effect on me. I turned Courtney around so her back was to me. I unclasped the gold chain and slid off the blue sapphire engagement ring that I had given her so long ago.
"Jason, what are you doing?" Courtney asked as I turned her back around, brushed the blonde locks of hair out of her face and kissed her with all the love I had in my heart. All of the love that would forever belong to her. And with my lips still on hers, I took her hand and slid the ring back onto her finger. I felt Courtney jump and she pulled away from me, with tears in her eyes.
"That was the most romantic thing you've ever done," Courtney bit her lower lip and smiled at me. She left me speechless, so I kissed her again.
Do you think that this is right, or is it really wrong?
I know that this is what we've been wanting.
And all this burning in my soul, it fills up to my throat.
It fills up till my heart is breaking.
Time was running out. Alcazar was due to come any minute now, and I dreaded it. Dreaded when I would have to leave her in this room, on this boat, waiting for me to save her. Again.
"We don't have much more time," I told my fiancee and she nodded.
"It was great while it lasted."
Was she making jokes at a time like this?
" I can't believe I'm leaving you with Alcazar again. How many times..." She put her index finger to my lips to silence me.
"I'll be fine, just do what you have to do and get me the hell out of here as fast as you can okay?" Courtney whispered.
"Okay. But you have to promise me something..."
"Anything..."
Now, we can both learn.
Somehow you'll see it's all we have.
Love, it keeps us together.
And I need love.
"Promise me you'll stay safe. Don't antagonize Alcazar, or Jax. Especially not Jax. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you again Courtney. I don't think I could...so please. Promise," I begged her, rubbing my fingers against the stone on her ring finger. I couldn't help but think that was where it would belong, and stay forever. I wasn't letting her go again.
"I promise." And she started crying.
When I wake up without you, knowing you're not there.
I'm only feeling half as good.
Well I'm gonna find a way to wrap you in my arms.
You make me feel alive.
I brushed her tears away with the pad of my thumb as I heard the worst sound imaginable. The clicking of the door opening, Courtney began to cry even harder.
"Lets go Morgan," Alcazar said coldly. I didn't respond.
"Don't cry baby, don't cry. Everything's gonna be alright," I said as I desperately tried to wipe away her tears. When she cried her eyes look so blue. I didn't know if I could leave her looking so vulnerable like that. "I love you okay. I love you," I said it twice just to make sure she heard me.
"I love you too," Courtney whispered. I kissed her lips and then her forehead, she wasn't letting go of my hand. I turned back to look at her, and she ran her free hand through her hair and said, "Be careful."
With all the energy I had in me I replied, "You too Courtney." and Alcazar led me out of the room and when he shut the door, I could hear Courtney break down. And I let a lone tear slip down my cheek for the love of my life, her sobs the only thing I could hear in my head. I was getting her out of there. Tonight.
If we had this night together.
If we had a moment to ourselves.
If we had this night together, then we'd be unstoppable.
