Elizabeth was in the least over whelmed in the most put out. Most of the people at the table she didn't know by face. Two she did Carly Alcazar and Sam McCall, both close personal friends of Courtney. Sam nodded at her and Carly looked at her with distain. Jason put his hand on her back and guided her to a seat next to him.

-So you're Elizabeth- A redhead said.

-Skye right-

-Yes how are you darling-

-Good so nice to put a face with the voice. Pictures don't do you justice.-

-God Jason you are an ass. - Skye said.

-What-

-Why have you been hiding this woman away from all of us-

-Wanting to keep her to myself. - He could feel her eyes on him.

They all began asking her questions and talking about what she was interested in she couldn't really tell them much. Jason realized she wasn't sure, she had just decided it was time to leave and find out what she wanted to do.

They began talking about the hottest new artist and Elizabeth interest peaked. She began to talk about her favorites. The entire time Jason watched her with growing interest, he discovered something she loved. Carly and Skye watched Jason watch Elizabeth, Carly didn't like it and would to put in a call to Courtney as soon as she could. Skye thought it was about time Jason Morgan saw someone other then the little witch.

Jason drove her home and said good night, he mind wondered back to her and the day with Skye. Skye was the first woman he was in love with her opinion meant everything to him. She makes her dislike for Courtney clear from the start, then when he realized his relationship with the women was doomed from the beginning. Skye pulled him aside while everyone was saying there good byes to Elizabeth.

-You kept her hidden away for 10 years why-

-No real reason she was working most of the time. Keeping me going, I'm going to miss her.-

-Yeah like you missed how completely in love she is with you and not recently. Everything you love, she loves don't think I didn't notice.-

-I hadn't.-

-You didn't know did you-

-Can we talk about his later I need to take her home.-

-Fine come back the restaurant, this should be good.-

So he walked in and he could over hearing Carly and Skye.

-He loves Courtney why would you get in the way of that-

-Because Courtney doesn't love him and he deserve to be happy.-

-With his secretary don't make me laugh. And Court does love him.-

-Like you love Lorenzo-

-How dare you-

-Why was my brother here-

-What-

-What was AJ doing here filling for Lorenzo? You jerk the men in your lives around like their nothing I won't let happen to Jason if I can help it. Even if he doesn't realize he needs Elizabeth in more ways then one. I will be damned if I see him involved with witch again now get out! And you stay away from AJ.-

Jason watched Carly leave and walked in.

-How much did you hear-

-All of it.-

-So-

-What are the odds of them both jerking two guys around- Jason asked taking a seat.

-Good, don't worry Lorenzo will be rid of her soon enough. He's getting involve with someone.-

-Who-

Skye just smiled.

-I wasn't in Greece for the food.-

-Christ Skye are you crazy I know for a fact she's nuts. - Jason snapped.

-You don't think Lorenzo knows about her and my brother how do you think I ended up in well Greece with the man. I told him, next thing you know he's having dinner here, and then kissing me, then fu...-

-Save it.-

-After Lucky's dad I didn't think I'd feel like this again.-

-Luke was one of a kind. - Jason smiled.
-I was so young but he still loved me, I wasn't a fling I was the girl he was in love with. It cut me so deep when he died.-

-And now-

-Now I look at Lorenzo the way you look at Elizabeth.-

-I don't feel anything for her. - Jason said quickly.

-Really-

-Yes.-

-That is not what your eyes say.-

-What do my eyes say-

-Why did I waste so much time? And can I make it up-

-Even if that was true I can't make it up I wasted too much time.-

-Never, not with a woman who looks at you like that.-

-Skye I've spend the last two days making her miserable I insulted her yelled at her and blamed her for all the bad things that's happened to me last night she hit me so hard my head still hurts. Even if she loves me that pain is too much to go through, and the possibility of me leaving her for Courtney.-

-My god would really do something like that.-

-God help me I love the women.-

-Get over it.-

-Skye.-

-Tell me you don't feel it and like the way it feels. Don't tell me that you don't like going through the day with someone the you can have a rational conversation with and not have think about her lying to your face. Tell me that every move that women make doesn't shake you to the core. I watch her move and talk its all carefully regarding you.-

-You do make her sound like trained seal.-

-Tell me you don't feel it and you don't want it.-

Jason sighed.

-I feel it, I've felt it for a long time, and I've turned it into background noise.-

-Why-

-Because she's better then that.-

-What-

-Look at me Skye; I'm an alcoholic because of a two women if you count my mother. Busted up SEAL who works to hard and can be considered a cold hearted bastard. From the time I met her I knew the kind of man I even let get near her would never be good enough.-

-Jason Morgan you are a coward. Ask that women what she wants and what she thinks of you before you dismiss her again. I assure of all the stupid things you've done. That's what hurt her, the fact that you just dismissed her feelings. -

-I didn't I just thought she deserved better.-

-Did you tell her that? Ever-

-No.-

-Yeah and you wonder why she keeps handing you your ass. She should be livid you don't treat someone who cares about you like that.-

-I know I've already apologies.-

-Did you really-

-Yes.-

-You left it at that didn't you-

-Yes.-

Skye shook her head.

-Your hopeless.-

Elizabeth wore one of his shirts, not just any shirt the black one she wore with the white suite with black pinstripes. Jason had his reason for loving that suit but the shirt was a plus in his book because it was his shirt and she somehow managed to make it fit her curves tightly. All of Skye's talk about wanting to feel what Elizabeth had to offer was making him nuts.

She was sitting behind Sam's desk when he came in. Sam was pouring over the manuals that she'd written on how to run certain aspect of the office. Sam looked a bit over whelmed when Jason finally came into her office.

-Sam how you doing-

-Um well, it a lot to learn in such a short time.-

-Yes it is. - Jason said.

-You can't convince her to stay.-

-No I can't and I wouldn't want to. Elizabeth got a lot of thing she wants to do.-

Elizabeth almost choke on her coffee was he conceding defeat? Jason had made his first heartfelt apology to her for all the things he'd done. Now he was letting her go, she was happily surprised and some what sad.

-So Elizabeth what are you going to do when your gone.-

-Get a college degree first. After that its up in the air, I do want to get a house.-

-Wait you don't have a degree- Sam said.

-Never had the time this was 24/7 job.-

-Wow, what are you interested in-
