Jason ignored her smirk, "At least I don't cry at your 'tissue-worthy' movies that put me to sleep. Just because I critique a few movies on their reliability to the truth of our business does not mean anything. Besides you are always critiquing Kong fu movies 'miss kick boxing expert'."

Courtney glared and stuck her tongue at him, "oh shut up Morgan!"

Jason smirked, "make me Matthews."

Courtney smirked and leaned over and quickly pecked him on the lips successfully silencing him, "I just did."

Jason couldn't find his voice even though it was only a quick peck she stirred emotions that were beginning to settle so he leaned over and kissed her but more than a peck which left her breathless and speechless and Jason smirked as he caught his own breath, "I...just...did...too...baby."

Courtney glared then shrugged and pulled him down to initiate another kiss but he stopped and looked into her eyes, "We are not going further until we settle our issues."

Courtney looked into his passion-filled sapphire eyes, "fine but I want to kiss you and then we can have this heart to heart. Now stop listening to that noble brain and kiss me."

Jason smirked as his head said hey do what the lady wants...its noble they kissed forgetting the pizza box which was practically empty and their empty bottles as they lay on the carpet kissing and petting each other. They broke it to breathe and looked into each other's eyes and Courtney said, "I have issues you know this but they come from my past. I don't like being weak and I don't like giving up total control. Being with you was wonderful and you had total control but I hated it because I felt ok with giving myself to you. There's step 1 I admitted my problem, you're turn."

Jason kissed her again but without all the pent up passion as they had expressed for the hour and a half before, "I was told I would never feel and I believed them but the truth was I did feel and you made me feel. Robin didn't I only felt pain and betrayal when she told Aj about Mikey. When you betrayed me I felt anger, pain, sadness and regret because I just shut the door in your face without every hearing your reasons."

Courtney nodded, "wow Jase we're really screwed up sure you want to know my twisted mind?"

Jason smirked, "yes because you once told me you knew me that the cold enforcer wasn't me and you loved who I really was well the same applies to you, I know who you really are from your journal but I would love to experience it first hand and I love you all of you; your fears, your plans that actually do work, your obsessions, your quarks, your past...once you tell me, your wishes and desires. I just love you."

Courtney smiled and he felt his heart lift knowing he got her to smile instead of just smirk and she said, "Hmm I don't have quarks and don't give me that look Morgan I'm perfect and you know it."

Jason saw the amusement in her eyes and shook his head, "Stubbornness is a quark you have, your love for scary movies even though they scare you especially shark movies and you're terrified of them but you still watch. You are not perfect but you are as close as they come and I wouldn't change you for anything."

Courtney rolled them so she was on top and looked down into his eyes, "I'm sorry if you thought I wanted to change you. I didn't, I love you strong cold enforcer and soft loving Jase. I'm sorry if I ever gave you impression that I hated your work because I didn't. I just hated that you would always go away whether for sonny or Carly we didn't get much time together."

Jason nodded, "I'm sorry we never did get our time as newly weds but we can do that here if you want...after we tackle our issues."

Courtney teased, "Spoil sport."

Jason kissed her, "tough you love me anyway."

Courtney kissed him, "damn straight."

He rolled them over again still lip-locked but then broke apart and jumped up leaving her breathless lying beneath him he held a hand out for her smirking but she returned his smirk and knocked him down by sweeping his foot and he went down then glared at her once the shock wore off but Courtney smiled, "I am a kick-box master."

Jason rolled his eyes but quickly got up then looked at her and she looked at him, "What, not going to be all noble and give the lady a hand up?" She flipped herself up and muttered, "geesh men these days no chivalry."

Jason shook his head and swept her up into his arms, "Oh but m'lady I can be very chivalrous now let's go play some pool and we'll learn more about each other."

Courtney snuggled closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck finding no complaints in being held in his arms. He carried her into the game room and set her down on the pool table, "You rack them while I clean up our mess and get two new bottles."

Courtney feeling a bit relaxed watched his butt sway in his jeans as he left and shook her head at her thoughts, "Damn I never noticed how tight his butt looked in his jeans. Ugh I'm all open, oh well it's about time we dealt with our issues…and I'm talking to myself. Great."

Jason stood in the doorway watching her and shook his head as she racked them expertly, "So do you always talk to yourself when racking up a set?"

Courtney didn't look at him but mocked, "Do you always tease the person you're trying to open up?"

Jason shrugged, "ya I find it relaxes her more. So it's lady's first go ahead and break them."

Courtney took the stick after glaring at him warningly so he wouldn't pull any macho BS like this tip is what you hit the ball with and the white ball is the cue ball you have to hit that to hit your other balls but you can't scratch meaning sink it

She lined up her shot and hit a solid blue ball into the side left pocket with a few more solid and one striped which Jason removed from one of the pockets and put back on the table, "So you're solid and I'm striped. Now since you sunk the first shot, let's do other questions beside just your journal. So have you and Jax ever..." he wasn't sure if he should ask that but Courtney rolled her eyes and took a sip of her bottle

"Have Jax and I had sex? No he tried I pushed him away and won the bet. Did you and spam?"

Jason smirked, "I got to shoot first."

Courtney glared, "Oh hell no, I am not waiting to know if you and that whore did it on MY bed!"

Jason looked into her eyes, "It's not yours any more but no we didn't I don't love her. Why want to burn the mattress like Carly did?"

Courtney nodded, "Yes I'd burn your penthouse to get all her germs out but then you'd be homeless and I don't want you touching the loft, I mean no burning it to get rid of Jax cooties."

Jason snapped his fingers, "darn and I was soo looking forward to it."

Courtney jumped up onto the table, "Ok enough with the game I think we're open enough so how was your rain kiss?"

Jason looked away shamefully then looked at her, "You knew? How?"

Courtney sighed, "I love the rain so I was out playing in it because Jax couldn't ruin his ugly expensive suit when I saw you two kissing I didn't stay long enough to take notes but I did see it then I left and puked up that disgusting meal your scene was just the catalyst to rid me of that crap."

Jason sighed, "She pushed herself on me and yes I know that's lame but it's true I kissed her but it wasn't with passion or anything really. Kissing her was just lips touching lips nothing like you and I where we touch hearts and souls through our kisses. When we kiss our passions and feelings clash like lightning that's why when we kiss outside it's usually raining because our passion affected nature. Sam doesn't do that. You never had to wear sexy clothes everything you wore was sexy but Sam tried too hard."

Courtney nodded, "oh ya and she always showed her 'grand canyon'."

Jason took a swallow of his beer, "that's an interesting way to put it but ya she liked to display it I guess she thought I loved to see it but in all honesty I think it haunted my nightmares. Now enough bashing on Sam let's bash on your ex or Brian."

Courtney pouted, "why I was having more fun bashing on spam. But fine seeing as how I had the fun last time I guess it is your turn. So start with Aj then work your way up to Jax."

Jason looked at her, "You're not even going to admit fault or say what you don't like I did."

Courtney glared at him, "Who was the idiot that kept pushing me away? Ya that's what I thought. You're in this solo mister. So bash away but then I get to pick apart your past loves starting with Robin to Liz to Brenda I had enough fun with spam."

Jason swallowed some beer, "You really hate Brenda? I mean your eyes go all cold when you say her name. But I guess I'll hear your rant later. First let me say your taste in guys present company excluded of course sucks."

Courtney took a sip of her drink then stuck her tongue out, "You know my dad would say you aren't excluded but you are the better of the bunch."

Jason looked at her, "Which one?"

Courtney's eyes melted with tears and Jason wanted to kick himself and went around to her side and pulled her into his arms as she cried into his chest, "My father was Mike but my dad is and will always be Victor he raised me and was there for everything."

Jason rubbed her arms and rocked her gently, "Sh I'm sorry baby that wasn't fair of me. So victor actually thought I was the better of the bunch?"

Courtney giggled, "Mr. ego rears his ugly head."

Jason smiled glad she had left her sorrow behind, "So Aj was a drunken psycho and yet you married him care to explain what he held over your head?"

Courtney sighed, "My family in AC did a lot of legit business like I said the only illegal stuff was how we dealt with the opposition and such. so ELQ was a major business we dealt with constantly and I was usually either running the books or out being the enforcer sometimes both. Anyway Aj had pictures of me working with them out of context it could be I was betraying you guys working with the 'enemy' and that my relationship to Sonny was only to get on his good side for a take over not to mention he has stuff on Janine. Her trying to blackmail Eddie would put her away and I couldn't have that so...I married the ass.

It was over and done with. Brian next guy you want to harp on was not my doing or choice he had an obsession with me not the other way around and I tried to tell you I so wasn't interested in him but you were bitten by the green eyed monster and decided to go all jealous lover on me."

Jason sighed, "Ya you're right I was wrong and if Aj wasn't dead I'd kill him myself for all the crap he put you through. ok that's the past now my fun Jax...what the hell did you see in him?"

Courtney looked up into his face, "No clue but you're one to talk Mr. McCall."

Jason actually shivered with revulsion, "Never call me that again. Besides we're critiquing your choices right now so spill it."

Courtney sighed, "He came to me all pompous and I laughed at first then I felt good having a guy chasing me so he made that bet even though I knew it was to piss you and Sonny off I agreed knowing I could keep him away and I did. I will admit even though I'm not a flower and fancy dinner girl it is nice once and a while to do that, yes he took it to the extreme but a nice restaurant with normal foods and a simple bouquet of flowers is nice. Anyway I guess I got caught up in the romance but then the illusion shattered when I saw him with Rachel but she got her heart broken because the minute he heard something from Brenda he was gone. Rachel and I are ok like Elizabeth and I are ok...we can tolerate each other but don't push for anything else."

Jason nodded, "Did Diego really punch him?"

Courtney nodded, "Yep right after he found out that Jax had kissed another girl totally before the Rachel affair he was pissed because I was hurt and he didn't want me to be hurt by him. So are we done with my men and can talk about yours?"

Jason nodded, "Sure go ahead I like the flashes of green your eyes get when you speak of my exes."

Courtney glared at him, "Shut up Morgan. First Robin Ms. too pure to sin yet she had AIDs I heard the story from both Sonny and Carly so I got both sides and I don't like her but I can't really judge because I never had the pleasure of meeting her. Brenda is and will always be a troublemaking slut in my book. She went from Luis to Lorenzo then to Sonny to Jax then to you...I don't care how short and now Jax runs after her."

Jason nodded, "Don't worry you have nothing to fear she gave me intense headaches worse than Carly the only thing I wanted to do when with her was gag her or shoot her."

Courtney nodded, "ok good. Now I think we've spilled our guts enough so care to take me to bed or lose me forever."
