Chapter 7
Before leaving the hospital Jason called Earl to tell him what had gone on. He said that he was sorry but that he wouldn't be returning back to the sea with him that day nor any day. His life was with Sam now and he would be looking into some other form of employment. Earl was upset but happy that Jason had found someone to love who could love him back 110 the way it was supposed to be.
Stopping by his place on the way home they packed up some of his belongings and put them in the suitcase. He would be back in a few days to gather the truck and the bike since now wasn't the time move those over. After leaving Jason's apartment they swung by the supermarket quickly and gathered up a few items. Finally making their way back home. Once inside Sam brought Jason's stuff upstairs and put it away. Jason's cell phone started ringing once they got inside. It was Justus, Jason's attorney asking how everything was going. He had agreed to stop by there and have a conversation with Jason before heading out today.
" Hey" Jason said.
" What is up, is it okay if I by now?"
" Yeah."
Jason gave him the directions to the house. And he said he would be waiting for him. Meanwhile Sam made a fresh fruit salad and some sandwiches. Looking at the clock it was nearly noon.
" How are you doing?"
" Better than good now that I am here with you."
" Is there anything you need or that I can get for you?"
" Well, that is a loaded question isn't it?"
" You know what I mean." Sam said with a sly smile.
" No there isn't." Jason said.
Sam stood on her toes and gave him a kiss that could melt an iceberg.
" I love you Mr. Morgan, do you know that," Sam asked and he told her yes.
Turning to go into the study Jason put out his hand and touched her arm. Looking around at him she couldn't believe how incredibly sexy he was with those eyes and that intenseness. She willingly wanted to be near him. Gathering her to his heart is where she belonged always and forever. He was so in love with her and that love was reciprocated from Sam. She hugged him close to her never wanting to let go. No words needed to be spoken between the two of them because they weren't necessary. He followed her into the study where she turned on the tv the local news was on. On one of the segments they showed that Sonny Corinthos was being held without bail on a attempted rape charge. Without giving all the details they just made the point of announcing that his crimes finally had caught up with him. In California the 3-strikes-your-out law was going to be putting Sonny behind bars for a long time. They showed a shot of Carly his wife breathing threats at the cops and anyone else who was within ear shot. Sam just shook her head Carly was a wildcard totally out of control and idiotic most of the time. Sam turned to look at Jason who was looking back at her. Reaching out with his right hand he grabbed her left hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss. Just then the doorbell rang.
" That's Justus." Jason said.
Helping him up from the couch Sam walked over to the door with him and opened it only for it to be a slew of news crews from allover California wanting to hear her side of the story about the Corinthos accusations. Quickly shutting the door she picked up the phone and called police commissioner Mac Scorpio for help. He said that he would be sending out some officers to get rid of the media.
" Miss Mc Call, I think you ought to hire yourself a lawyer also to represent you in court." He said.
" I already have." Sam said.
" Good have your lawyer get in touch with me." Mac said.
" I will." She said and hung up.
Meanwhile Jason had gotten on the phone with Justus and had agreed to meet with him over his offices instead. Putting the food together they stuck it in the fridge. Sam picked up her keys and they went out to the garage and got in the car. They pulled out without being seen since the garage had a secret entry away from the house. And sped off down the street leaving a mass of reporters.
" This will all be over and done with before we know it." Jason said looking at Sam.
" I know." She said.
Finally meeting up with Justus at his office in Newport they got out and walked hand-in-hand into the building.Extending out his hand to Sam she shook it and Justus said that it was nice to meet her. He could see how Jason was over-the-moon for her. She was beautiful and had this mysterious presence around her. The two were very much alike. Justus could figure that much out at least.
Sam told Justus her side of the story how she had come to know Sonny Corinthos to begin with. About their brief affair and break up. Then the phone calls that started just over the past few days that led to him assaulting her.
" This is pretty much an open and shut case that unfortunately for Mr. Corinthosit won't be leaning in his favor." Justus said.
" So, what are we to do now," Jason asked.
" Don't talk to the media or anyone for that matter. And if you remember anything else about that night I want you to give me a call." He said.
" Okay."
" I will be in touch with Mac Scorpio." Extending his arm out to shake Sam's hand she did the same." I will be in touch soon. Take care of each other now." Justus said.
" We will."
" Thank you Justus." Sam said.
" Anytime." He smiled.
And turning they walked out of his office and to the car Jason's cellphone went off. It was Earl wanting to get together with him to discuss a business opportunity. Jason said that he would be available to meet with him later on in the afternoon at Jason's place. Sitting back in the car he looked over at Sam who was turning the key over in the ignition.
" What?" She asked.
" I want to take a drive down PCH with you." He said
" No problem." She said with a smile
Putting her hand around the gear shifter she put it in reverse and backed out. Glancing briefly back to Jason she thought to herself that she was the luckiest woman in the world. With the wind blowing through her hair she kept her eyes straight ahead. She was so thankful that Jason had come home early the other day. She didn't even want to think of what could have happened to her if he hadn't.Driving down the road with one hand on the wheel she put her right arm around Jason caressing the back of his neck with her fingers. Her touch felt like magic stroking his neck. She glanced over at him and saw him closing his eyes giving in to her touch upon his skin.
" Pull over up here and when we stop take off your shoes and leave them in the car." He said to her.
Pulling over to the side of the road he looked at her and licked his lips in anticipation. Opening the door she turned in her seat and bent over while he did the best he could. Coming around to his side of the car she pulled off his right shoe. Her hands felt divine on his foot. Looking up at him she just smiled as she tickled his feet.
" I'm going to get you for that." He said.
" Oh yeah, you think you are quick enough to get me?" She said slyly.
" Yeah, I do. I will even give you a running start." He said.
" Well being in the condition that you are in maybe I should give you a running start." Sam said with a wink.
He just looked at her with those intense eyes and beautiful face.
" Catch me Jason Morgan, that is if you can." She said taking off down the stairs and onto the beach.
Looking back she saw him taking it slowly down the stairs. This part of the beach wasn't full of tourists and beachbums, so he would have a clear path to catch up with her. She took off again and when she got a few hundred feet ahead of him turned back once again to find him not that far behind her. Looking ahead she found some a place to hide so she ran to it but before she could make it there she felt his warm hand on her arm.
" Gotcha!" He said.
Trying to catch his breath he leaned into her pushing her up against something hard.
" Sam..." he pulled her to him, as she lifted his shirt and started kissing his chest softly driving him wild with desire for her.
" Let's go home and finish this."
