Chapter 23

"Who's Jason?" Courtney asked, with urgency. She woke from this dream about somebody with amazing blue eyes jsut boring into her, but there was no face. But all she could think of saying was Jason. And she didn't even know who this Jason was, and she wanted to know.

"Hello? Who the hell is Jason?" Courtney demanded to know. Lorenzo didn't know what to do. He could just tell her the truth, but that would mean any shot for him and her to be together with that baby would be shot down. He looked at her expected face, that was quickely turning ot anger when she didn't get an answer. Then a thought came to him, and he went with it.

"Jason was the person who set that bomb in your car. He followed you every night into the club to watch you strip, and you would hate it. Then I guess he got mad at you when you didn't want him, so he took revenge and placed a bomb on your car. He hates me, and when he knew you and I had a one night thing, he acted in revenge." Lorenzo said, knowing that was a bunch of lies and that Jason would never hurt Courtney, but she didn't know that.

"Oh my god! That bastard! He could have hurt my baby." She said as she instinctively put one hand on her still flat stomach. "That's why I'm here, with you. On this boat?" She asked.

"Yeah. I couldn't let that man hurt you, or our unborn child. And I never will let him get to you. I promise that." He said as he softly caressed her cheek. She felt a little uncomfortable, because she hardly knew this man, even though she was pregnant with his child. For some reason, it just didn't seem possible. She moved away from his touch and went over and retrieved a glass of water.

"So... where are we going?" She asked, her curiosity taking over.

"I am taking you to a remote island that I own in the carribean, near South America. You'll love it. It's beautiful and tropical, and I cna't wait for you to see it." He said,a s he went over towards her. She looked up at him, and looked deep into his eyes. She saw that they were blue, but they were not the same blue that she saw in her dream. The ones she saw in her dream were a deep blue, that anyone could get lost in. Just then. Lorenzo said something, interupting her thoughts.

"Well you know you are welcome to roam anywhere you'd like. Tell me if you need anything." Lorenzo said as he started to walk out of the room before Courtney's voice caught him.

"Wait, what's you name again?" She asked with slighlty furrowed brows.

"It's Lorenzo." He said to her, smiling.

"And... do you happen to know my name?" She asked feeling really foolish.

"It's Courtney. Courtney Matthews." He said as he looked into her eyes.

"Thanks." She said.
"Your very welcome. Well I ahve to make a call, but if you need anything, you know where to find me." Lorenzo said with a final nod and left.

Courtney turned back around and went over to the window. Those eyes. For some reason, she just couldn't stop thinking about them. THose blue eyes that were shining back at her. She tried to shake the image out of her head, but she couldn't. No matter how hard she tried. For some reason, she wanted ot know this Jason. She needed to know who he was. For some reason, she got the feeling that he knew things about her, that this, Lorenzo guy didn't know.

Jason was sitting on his couch, watching tv, looking at the news, seeing that Courtney's death was still top story news. He wish that they would just let it be. She didn't need this. All she needed was to be left in peace. He sighed as he leaned back, thinking about Courtney, before he drifted off into a deep slumber...

He was standing there, looking at her and her bright smiliing face, as she held their beautiful baby girl in her arms. She cooed at the baby, as he watched her, just gazing at the beautiful sight that she gave him. The suddenly there was a loud boom, and a loud scream, and he looke dup and saw that Courtney and their baby were gone. The she appeared behind him, pointing an accusing finger at him, while screaming at him, "You did this! You did this to us! You killed us Jason! You killed our baby, and me! How could you do this to us? How could you! I hate you!" He watched her drifting farther and farther away from him, as she shouted, "You killed us! I hate you!" He lifted out his arm, begging her to come back. "Courtney! I'm sorry! Come back!" He suddenly saw a man snatch them away and ran off. He never saw the man's face. All he could see was Courtney's distraught face, and her mouth moving, knowing what she was saying. Her heard her faint calls of help, but he couldn't reach her, then he yelled, "Courtney!"

"Courtney!" Jason yelled as he abrubtly woke from his nightmare. He looked around and saw that Courtney was nowhere. He sighed deeply and put his head in his hands, still hearing her screaming, I hate you and you killed us! Then he heard her cries for help, and he whispered,

"I'm sorry Courtney. I'm so sorry." He sat there, haunitng himself with her face in his mind, and her screams of pain and distraught, while he held his head in his hands, begging the pain to stop, and wondering if it ever would.
