Jason hadn't said a work as they'd run to his motorcycle and taken off. She sat holding on to his reveling in the freedom she felt as the wind ripped through her hair. After a while he slowed down puling the bike to a stop he helped her off.

"Thanks, I needed that." She said smiling.

"It's good to se you smile." Jason replied. "You want to talk about it?"

"It was just Mike being Mike." She replied. "I don't know why he can't just leave me alone."

"He seems to care about you." Jason began.

"Jason." She interrupted. "Were friends right?"

"I'd like to think so." He replied.

"Well then, piece of advice, never take his side or defend him in any way to me." She said annoyed. "I don't care if everyone thinks I'm being an irrational bitch, I have my reasons for treating him the way I do and nothing can change the way I feel about him."

"Ok." Jason said putting his hands up in mock surrender. "I know better than to piss you off." He teased. "So, how was church?"

"You think I'm a nut for going don't you?" She asked.

"No, I just don't really get the whole god and religion thing." Jason explained.

"Well, the way I look at it there are two options, either there really is a god and heaven and all that or there isn't. I like to think there is, it makes me happy, brings me some comfort and if in the end I'm wrong and this is it, it wont really matter anyway." She explained.

"So your basically just coving all the bases." He replied.

"Yes and no, I mean if it makes me happy what's the harm. I'm not hurting anyone." Liz replied honestly.

"I guess that makes sense." He said thinking. "But, wouldn't you be disappointed if your wrong." Jason asked.

"That's the beauty of it, if I'm wrong and there's nothing after this life, then I wont get the chance to be disappointed." Liz explained.

"I never thought of it that way." He replied thoughtfully. "That doesn't mean I'm going to jump on the bandwagon or anything."

"Don't worry, I wont hold it against you." Liz laughed. "But, just to be safe I'll pray for you."

"Thanks, I think." He said smiling. "Come on we should get back." he said leading her back to the bike.

"Damn it." She groaned tripping over a rock and falling.

"Are you ok." Jason asked concerned kneeling beside her.

"Yeah, graceful as always." She laughed. "I just scraped my knee."

"Let me see." he demanded as he tenderly probed the cut. "It doesn't look to bad. We can clean it out when we get home."

"I'm fine." She declared. He glanced up pausing as he noticed how close their faces where. His eyes automatically went to her lips he watched as she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth a habit she often displayed. He cupped her face using his thumbs to release her lip from the torture she was inflicting on it. She wasn't sure who leaned in first but, the next thing she knew his lips were brushing against hers. Her arm as if it had a mind of it's own wrapped around his neck pulling him closer. Just as he went to deepen the kiss her brain kicked back in and she panicked pushing him away. She quickly stood unable to meet his gaze. She hurried over to the bike. Silently waiting for him to get on.

"Elizabeth." Jason began unsurely.

"I'm sorry." She said softly. "That shouldn't have happened."

It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped on him. He'd kissed her, something he'd wanted to do since he first saw her and she thought it was a mistake. They road back to the penthouse in silence stepping inside. She dashed upstairs without a word. He was confused, she'd kissed him back why, did she pull away. He debated going upstairs to find out, but he had to go see Sonny and give him a report on the situation with Alcazar. So he decided to let it be, for now.

Safe house:

"How's everything going at the warehouse?" Sonny asked after Jason briefed him.

"Normal." Jason replied. "We had one suspicious shipment, but I had it turned around before it could arrive."

"Good, how's Carly doing." He asked.

"Fine." Jason replied.

"Hey man, where's your head?" Sonny asked noticing he was unusually distracted. Jason turned to look at his partner, and friend.

"I kissed your sister." Jason declared not wanting to lie to him.

"I'm guessing were not talking about Courtney." Sonny replied walking over and pouring himself a scotch. Jason nodded. "So, what are you looking for me to say?"

"I don't know, I just didn't want to lie to you about it." Jason replied.

"Well, I appreciate your honesty." Sonny began. "If your looking for my permission to go pursue her, your not going to get it, not that you need it. I'm never going to think anyone's good enough for her, but she could do a hell of a lot worse than you."

"So your not mad?" Jason asked.

"No' Sonny replied. "However, you may be my best friend, my business partner, my enforcer but, if you break her heart, I break you kneecaps, understand?" Jason nodded. "Ok, anything else you wana spring on me?"

"Nope, that's it." Jason replied.

"Ok, we should be able to move on Alcazar by the end of the week and this can all be over." Sonny said smiling.
