Things Change: The Date
Elizabeth had been going through her clothing all day looking for the prefect outfit. He told her he was taking her to The Grille so she knew she had to dress nice. It had been a week since their kiss on Easter, and he hadn't kissed her since. So she was surprised when he asked her out the day before. She had thought that maybe he had lost his mind when he kissed her.
Audrey watched her put on the fifteenth outfit in the last ten minutes shaking her head. She was glad that Elizabeth found someone who cared for her. But that that person was Jason Morgan worried her greatly. But then she remembered him carrying her in after Tom Baker almost raped her. She remember him sleeping on the floor fully clothed not even taking off his shoes or getting a blanket. But he was still Sonny Corinthos's enforcer and right hand man.
"Sweetheart," Audrey said.
"Is the blue one better than the red one or maybe the black," Elizabeth said tossing her shirt around.
"I think what you have on is wonderful," Audrey said.
"I know you're right…what about my shoes do they go," Elizabeth asked nervously.
Brenda watched from the couch laughing as hard as she could as Jason tried for the sixth time to tie his tie. Brenda was making him dress nice for their dinner to night and he was about to change. Brenda got up and tied it for him. His hand were still shaking he looked like a teenager going on his first date. Sonny walked into his Pen House as Brenda was helping him put on his jacket.
"So tonight is your big date with Elizabeth," Sonny said.
"Yea…maybe we should just go to a movie or Kelly's," Jason said.
"No a first date should be special The Grille is prefect," Sonny said.
"What if she doesn't like it, what if," Jason said.
"Calm down, you're just nervous and so is she," Sonny said.
"How do you know," Jason said.
"Because this is a first date silly, she's probably gone through her closet ten times by now," Brenda said.
"Jason take my advice and don't rush it, take things slow," Sonny said.
"Right slow nice and slow," Jason said.
Brenda watched as Jason tried to stop himself from shaking and smiled. He was so nervous he could barely open up his own door. She was glad Sonny was having Francis drive him and Elizabeth to The Grille. Francis just smiled as Jason first stopped off at a flower shop then went to Elizabeth's home. When they got there Jason felt dizzy and nauseous Francis just told him to take it a step at a time.
"Mr. Morgan," Audrey said.
"Mrs. Hading," Jason said handing her a bouquet of flowers.
"Elizabeth will be here in a moment and you can give them to her," Audrey said.
"Oh no these are for you," Jason said smiling.
"Oh how sweet of you…did Elizabeth tell you I love lilies," Audrey said.
"No I was so nervous I just picked them," Jason said.
Audrey smiled at Jason she was beginning to like Jason more and more. She remembered her first boyfriend did the same thing for her mother. It was a gentleman thing to do, but most guys barely gave their date flowers anymore. Elizabeth walked down stairs in a knee length black shirt and a dark blue short sleeve blouse with her curly hair was down. Just looking at her made his knees go weak to the point he didn't know if could walk.
"You look…you look beautiful," Jason said.
"Thank you, you look very handsome," Elizabeth said.
"Thank you, you ready to go," Jason said.
"I am," Elizabeth said.
"Have fun and," Audrey said.
"Have her home before 11:30," Jason said.
Jason put her jacket on her and opened the door for her allowing her to go first. Audrey watched him open the limo door for her as well. Jason might be in the mob but he had more manners than half the respectable men in this town. Francis started one his way and Elizabeth smiled at him.
"You got Gram lilies," Elizabeth said.
"Yea," Jason said.
"That was sweet...I'm sure you've won her over," Elizabeth said.
"I didn't do it to win her over," Jason said.
"I know that just Gram loves lilies dad sends them to her every holiday birthday and mother's day," Elizabeth said.
Parking the car Jason got out of the car offering his hand to Elizabeth, she accepted it. They walked hand in hand inside The Grille. Keesha was with a friend of hers who was trying to convince her it's time to start dating again when she saw them enter. She watched them get their seats and look at each other.
Jason and Elizabeth gave their orders to the waiter he smile when he heard the song. It was the song they danced to at Quartermaine's Easter Party. Taking her hand he led her to the dance floor, he was sure he was going to fall down. As they danced they saw people watch them she looked in his eyes. It was like they were moving as one body as one soul, like nothing could separate them. Bending his head down he brushed his lips with hers gently resting his forehead on hers.
"Hey guys," Emily said as Elizabeth sat down.
"What are you two doing here," Jason asked.
"Family dinner," Nikolas said.
"Sorry to hear that," Elizabeth said.
"Well Grandfather thinks we want to get married next month," Emily said.
"When do you want to get married," Jason said.
"October 20," Nikolas said.
"Come on lets go get this over with," Emily said.
"Good luck," Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth looked at Jason who had taken her hand that was sitting on top of the table. He never let go of it as they talked about any and everything they could think of. Keesha had tried not to watch but she had and it tore at her heart. She watched the way he held her so tightly during their dance and their sweet kiss. Tears filled her eyes when he took her hand leading her back to their table pulling out her chair holding her hand as they talked. Keesha just couldn't take it, this was the proof that they were done. That her Jason was truly dead running out she made choice to leave Port Charles.
"What do you think about Nikolas and Emily's wedding," Jason said.
"They're in love anyone can see that," Elizabeth said.
"Yea I'm glad they're waiting to have a real wedding," Jason said.
"Yea they want to wait a few months after graduation," Elizabeth said.
"That is coming up," Jason said.
"Yep then my 18th birthday," Elizabeth said.
"That's in June right," Jason said.
"The 20," Elizabeth said.
When they food arrived their hands separated and they ate in a comfortable silence. They would say a few things every now and then. They danced a few more times getting smiled from an elder couple remembering when they were in their place. Soon their dinner was over Jason called Francis to have him pick them up. So far it had been a great date and Jason couldn't let go of her hand. Even on the drive back to her house, he just couldn't let her go.
"You know I remember hearing your voice when I was in my coma," Jason said.
"What," Elizabeth said.
"When I was waking up I heard this sweet sound I knew that I was holding something," Jason said.
"Yea my hand," Elizabeth said.
"I felt connected to you in those moments, when I saw you I knew you were special," Jason said.
Elizabeth just looked at him with a smile on her face she had no idea how to comment to that. Francis stopped showing them that they were at her house. Opening the door he helped her out holding her hand as they made their way towards her front door. She had no idea what to say, he had totally surprised her with what he said on the way here. Jason hoped he did scare her off or make her feel uncomfortable.
"I didn't make you feel uncomfortable in there did I," Jason said.
"No that was one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to me," Elizabeth said.
"It's the truth when I hold your hand or touch your face, I feel connect to you," Jason said touching her face.
"Me too," Elizabeth said.
Jason caressed her cheek bending down pressing his lips to hers for a light gently kiss. He smile at her and walked towards the limo as Elizabeth walked inside. It was after eleven o'clock and Audrey was in bed by now. Walking into her room Elizabeth fell on top of the bed. She had a huge smile on her face she knew now that she was falling head over heels for Jason Morgan.
Jason walked into his Pen House with a smile on his face. As much as he wanted to grab her face and kiss her with all the passion and need he felt he decided to wait. Sonny had a point they needed to take this slow, he wanted to enjoy all of those special moments. Jason saw the note, Sonny had taken Brenda away on a trip they'd be back tomorrow by seven. Jason went to bed deciding to call the flower shop tomorrow.
Elizabeth woke up bright and early to find Audrey with a smile on her face. The lilies were where everyone could see them and Elizabeth knew she liked them. Walking into the kitchen she saw a vase of roses. They were a mixture of red white, and pink on the side she saw a note. I had a great time last night hope to go out again soon, Always Jason.
"You got yourself quite the gentlemen Elizabeth," Audrey said.
"Does that mean you approve," Elizabeth said.
"You're going to be eighteen you need to make these decisions for yourself," Audrey said.
"But be careful and think wisely," Elizabeth finished.
"Come on church starts in an hour get ready," Audrey said.
