A/N: It's been some time, and I have only gotten one review. But I like my story, and my one reviewer Claire liked my story, so I am just going to keep on posting. I have written all the way through chapter 8, and we'll see what happens after that. But seriously, if you're reading and not reviewing, REVIEW! I am getting desperate, as you can see from the change in summary. (Did I trick anyone into reading? Probably not.) Alright, here it goes…


Chapter 4- Faithfully

It became harder to keep their relationship a secret, but Jason and Serena were willing to do whatever they needed to do. Any stolen kisses, secret embraces, and quick sex they could fit into their busy schedules meant the world to them. They only wanted to be together.

Jason found himself alone at their cliff. She was over a half an hour late. He was worried about her. He knew that she could take care of herself, but what if someone got the one up on her? Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He saw that the caller ID had her name, and he answered it, a smile uncontrollably creeping on to his face.

"Hey" he said

"Hi" she whispered

"Where are you?" he asked.

"Look baby, I am so sorry, but Adriano wanted to spend the night together, and I can't tell him no. So I'll talk to you tomorrow, ok?" she whispered.

"Yeah, ok" he said, his heart breaking on the inside.

"I love you" she whispered

"I love you too" he said as the line went dead.

He sunk down on the stump. He didn't want her to spend the night with Adrian. He wanted her to be his and his alone. He knew that it would be difficult, getting involved with a married woman. He knew that her husband would come first. But he wanted to be there. He wanted to come first.

'She loves you, she loves you' he told himself over and over in his head. But it wasn't enough. He couldn't control his jealousy. But he needed to. He needed to control it. Truthfully, he wanted to hurt her like she was hurting him. He wanted to sleep with someone else just to get back at her. But he knew that she wasn't hurting him on purpose. He knew that if it was up to her, no one would be hurt. He knew that she was hurting enough by being torn between him and Adrian. He could never intentionally cause her pain. He sighed, and got on his bike, riding back to his empty penthouse.

He sat down on the couch, only able to think of her. He turned on the radio, and found it in the middle of Journey's Faithfully. He instantly thought of Serena. She loved cheesy love songs that made you cry for no reason. If she was here, she would be singing on the top of her lungs to it.

"I'm forever yours...faithfully"

Some of the cheesiest lyrics ever written, yet why did he feel like they totally applied to his life right now? He started to smile as he listened to it. He could imagine her saying it to him, and he to her. He knew that he had to share her for now, but one day, it wouldn't be like that. Their love was strong enough to wait until then. He could deal with this. Because when push came to shove, she loved him. And he knew that she wouldn't let him go without a fight. And he certainly wouldn't let her go without a fight either.


Across town, Serena lay in her bed, her husband next to her. Their clothes were in a heap on the floor. She turned on the radio and heard one of her favorite cheesy love songs- Faithfully.

"I'm forever yours...faithfully"

"I'm forever yours...faithfully. Jason" she whispered. She smiled at her sappiness, and then rolled over and fell asleep, Jason on her mind.


Serena sat brushing her hair in the mirror. She heard her bedroom door opened, and she turned to see who it was.

"Kemen!" she cried, delighted to see her brother. She ran into his arms and the two hugged. They were close, even for brother and sister. But Kemen was her only brother, and the two had relied on each other growing up. Their mother had abandoned them, and their father was an abusive alcoholic. As soon as Kemen turned 18, he packed up Serena, who was 9 at the time, and they hightailed it out of there. He had raised her. He had helped her with her homework; he had taught her the necessities of life. He had taught her how to shoot a gun, and how to fight. He had taught her everything. What would he say if he knew she was in love with Jason Morgan? Sonny Corinthos' right hand man was definitely off limits to her in Kemen's eyes.

"How are you mi subió? asked Kemen

"I'm good. I'm actually very good" she said

"I can tell. You look happier then usual"

"Do I normally look sad?" she asked

"No. You just look extremely happy today" he said to his sister.


Across town, Sonny was pacing a hole in the floor of his penthouse

"Jason, I don't like this" he said

"Sonny, calm down"

"Do not tell me to calm down! This shooter has been at large for the past month. No one knows who the hell he is! Not you, not Stan. No one! My family is at risk! I can not just let this keep going on! You need to find him and kill him. You need to eliminate this threat"

"Sonny, I'm trying. But I've been having a hard time tracking the sniper down"

"Does this have anything to do with you not trying to track the sniper down?" asked Sonny

"Sonny, what are you talking about?" asked Jason.

He was uncharacteristically panicked. Had Sonny found out about Serena?

"Carly mentioned something about a mysterious girlfriend"
"Now you're listening to Carly?" he asked his best friend

"I don't know. Carly's usually right when it comes to your love life. I guess she has to be right about something every once in a while. It must be difficult being wrong all the time"

"Carly can hear you ya know!" cried Carly's voice from the kitchen

"Then Carly fell for the trap" yelled Sonny. "I knew you were listening when you shouldn't be"

"Dammit" she said walking out.

"Carly" said Sonny

"Yes dear" she said sweetly

"Go away"

"Gee thanks, love you too" she said, giving Sonny a kiss.

"I do love you. Which is why you and Max should go shopping together"

"I know that that's code for me to get out of here so you and Jason can talk business and I should take a guard with me"

"See, you are right sometimes" he said with a smile that showed his dimples.

"I can take a hint, I'm going. But I am right about Jason's secret girlfriend" she said as she walked out the door.

"Is she right Jason?" asked Sonny

"Sonny, there is no secret girlfriend" said Jason. He hated lying to his boss. But he knew Sonny would murder him if he found out that he was in love with the hit woman sent to kill them. The woman who was causing Sonny so much grief.

Jason went back across the hall to his penthouse. He knew that he was killing Sonny by not telling him the truth. But if he told the truth, Serena would be killed. He needed to formulate a plan. Honestly, he needed a Carly plan. He needed something completely crazy that he could twist around to make somewhat logical. Of course, this all started with telling Carly the truth. He knew what he had to do.


Carly wouldn't pick up her phone, as desperate as he was. She couldn't hear it over the roar of the women fighting over the strappy sandals at the shoe store. Luckily, she had Max to help her beat off the other size 7's.

Unable to wait for her, Jason decided to go looking for her. He tried every shoe store, hoping to find her. He had walked all over town when he finally came to the last one. He knew that he should have taken his bike, but he felt like walking. It gave him more time to think about Serena. He sighed, running his hands through his hair. Who could know that what would happen next would happen?


Serena was lounging in the pool. It was unusually hot.

"Shouldn't you be working" called Adrian from the side

"You don't really want a workaholic for a wife, do you?" she called over to him.

Adrian pealed off his shirt and shoes and wadded in with her.

She laughed as she saw how difficult it was for him to walk in the pool in his wet jeans.

"No, I certainly do not" he said as he kissed her.

Despite her love for Jason, Serena couldn't help but still love Adrian. He was her husband, her lover, her protector. She didn't need a protector, but it was still nice to have one. Adrian had been there for her, to get her out of trouble. And she certainly managed to always get into a lot of trouble. It hadn't been easy for him, marrying a hit woman. There was always the fear of her getting killed or arrested. But he was a mobster. And mobsters all had to deal with the same problems. Adrian knew that he didn't exactly choose the moral path. He knew his family dealt in drugs and prostitution, but he didn't care. He had been raised a mobster, and would always be a mobster. But Serena brought out the best in him.

"I love you" he told her. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you" he said.

Serena's smile faded as guilt consumed her.

"I love you too" she said as she kissed him. But when she did, her eyes were open. You fall in love with your eyes closed. You pretend with your eyes open.


Could it be? Was Jason consuming her life? She was standing in the shower, allowing the warm water to wash over her body. All she could think about was Jason. When she looked at Adrian's chiseled body, she thought of Jason's. When she kissed Adrian, she thought of Jason. What was happening to her world?

She got out of the shower and blow dried her hair. She slipped into a black tube top with dark jeans and black high healed sandals with a little bit of sparkle. She put on her favorite diamond hoop earrings, and a brilliant blue necklace. She flawlessly applied her makeup. She was going to visit Jason. Sonny Corinthos didn't know who she was, so it wouldn't be a big deal if she should show up at Jason's penthouse. She knew Jason didn't want Sonny or his wife Carly finding out about her though. According to Jason, Carly was a bit of a busybody. But she needed to see Jason. She was desperate. She was about to leave when Kemen walked in to her room.

"I have good news mi subió" he said.

"What is it?" she asked.

"I just finished your job for you. I got Jason Morgan"

"No" she gasped.
