Author's Note- Thank You all my wonderful readers. I know I haven't updated in quite a while.

When they got into the lake house Jason offered to put Molly in her crib to which Alexis immediately agreed to. She threw off her heels and padded into the kitchen. Tomorrow was Thanksgiving and she had to cook for herself, Molly, Kristina, Sam, Lucky, Nikolas and...Jason.

"This is going to be awkward." she muttered to herself.

"What's that?" Jason asked smiling. His suit jacket was off and his tie gone with it.

"Do you think it will be at all awkward tomorrow with Lucky and Sam and you? After everything that happened with Jake?" she questioned him

"Possibly but Lucky and I both loved Emily and since I am a guest of yours I will be the most polite diner at the table tomorrow." he smirked.

His smiles sent a jolt straight to her heart. "Well polite houseguest would you care to help me prepare tomorrow's feast?" she teased.

"I'll have you know I am an amazing chef." he held his head out high.

"Alright then, how about this? You're in charge of the stuffing and I'll make my world famous pumpkin pie. Who's ever meal gets a better review tomorrow has to clean up everybody's mess. Deal?" she grinned playfully.

"You're on Davis." he said in a low serious tone. They set to work in different sides of the kitchen working on their dishes. Jason looked busy huddled over his dish when Molly cried out.

"She needs a bottle," Alexis sighed going over to the fridge.

"I'll do it." Jason offered. He grabbed the bottle from her hands.

"You sure?" Alexis raised an eyebrow.

"I like her." Jason shrugged heading into Molly's room.

Alexis scurried over to his dish and tasted the stuffing. Damnit! It's delicious. I'm going to have to change that she thought. She grabbed a random spice from her spice rack and dumped most of its contents into the bowl mixing it all up and ran back to her bowl before Jason came back in.

"She fell back asleep in two minutes." he beamed.

"You have a way with her." Alexis said in slight awe. "What did you do?"

"I told her a story." he explained turning back to his stuffing. He didn't exactly want to explain to her that he, Mr. Macho hit man, had told his enemy's daughter a story about a pony named Felicia.

When the sky blackened Alexis set the couch up for Jason to sleep on. Two Afghans and her special fluffy pillows would keep him comfortable she decided. He walked into the living room in an undershirt and his boxers. Alexis' heart skipped a beat. His spiky coif was wet from his shower and so were his strong arms.

"Are you alright with me walking around like this?" he asked noticing that she tensed up.

"Oh yeah," she laughed nervously her voice squeaky. "I mean sure. I mean we're two mature adults and your hot so there's no problem!" she rambled and then stopped.

"I'm hot?" he asked interested.

Alexis just stared at him nervously. I cannot believe I just said that! She thought. I could just die right here. "Well you are an attractive member of the male species." she replied wringing her hands.

"Interesting." he smiled softly walking closer to her.

Her eyes widened. His breath brushed across her nose and she thought she might faint. He wrapped on strong arm behind her shoulder blade and leaned towards her. His lips captured hers as she leaned towards him, her arm around his neck.

Her lips felt soft against his as he pulled her closer, both arms wrapping around her lower back. Alexis was lost in a sea of emotions before realizing what they were doing. She pulled away abruptly her expression unreadable. Both her brown and his blue eyes widened.

"Oh my god I just kissed Jason Morgan." she exhaled surprised and conflicted

"Oh go I just kissed Alexis Davis." he realized in the same tone.

"This is weird." she observed looking embarrassed.

"That doesn't mean it's bad." he smiled almost shyly.

"What?" Alexis asked.

"Alexis I like you a lot. In the short few days we have been spending together you have cheered me up more than I thought was possible. I don't particularly like sharing my feelings but I just want you to know that." he sighed at the end of his sentence.

"You like me?" she asked smirking slightly. She felt like a high school girl again.

"Yes, I like you no matter what has happened in our pasts." he confessed. Alexis reached out slipping her hand out to his.

"I like you too." she smiled coyly. Without words he pulled her closer once again and kissed her cheek.

The smell of spices and Turkey filled the Davis home on Thanksgiving morning. Alexis had her hair up in curlers, her nails wet and newly painted pink. She couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. The way Jason's hands had wrapped around her back, the way his breath felt against her nose. It had been so long since she had felt this way. Last night Jason had suggested that they not tell anybody until they were sure it was going to work out. She knew he didn't want to tell Elizabeth but it didn't bother her...yet. She felt a strong hand on her shoulder.

"Good Morning," Jason smiled from behind her.

"Busy Morning." she replied turning around to see his smile.

Jason pressed a quick kiss on her cheek feeling a small tingle when he did so. "I'll help you out." he offered.

"Well...you see I promised Sam but you could help us." she looked at her bare feet nervously.

Jason nodded nervously when a vibrating sound came from the end table. "My phone." he explained walking over towards it. The caller ID flashed Elizabeth's name and Jason gulped nervously.

"Hello," he greeted the young nurse.

"Jason," she chirped. "Happy Thanksgiving, I missed you."

"Oh, yeah...Happy Thanksgiving Elizabeth. How are Cameron and Jake?" he asked. He loved Elizabeth but knew that they could not be together. His life was too much for her and he was still contemplating on whether or not he wanted anyone else to know Jake was his son.

"Would you like to come over for dinner?" she asked as if she knew that he would say yes.

"Well I can definitely stop by later," he suggested.

"Oh, are you working?" she asked cautiously as if mentioning his work would guarantee her a bullet in the head.

"Well I have some plans for the earlier part of the day." he explained vaguely. Then a voice pierced his ears and he knew that this was going to be hard to explain.

"Hey, it's Sam, I'm here." Sam's voice hollered as she maneuvered her way into the lake house with an array of bags in her hands.

"Sam's there?" Elizabeth asked her voice pinched and distant.

Guilt overcame Jason and the click of the phone signaled she had hung up without a goodbye.

"Happy Thanksgiving." another voice mumbled from behind him. He turned to see Sam. Oh great another angry female. He thought. But something was different about the petite brunette. Her face was glowing as well as her partner's.

Lucky walked in with a large box trying his hardest not to drop it on anything or else Sam might kill him.

Jason gave Sam a quick hug his large arms fitting around her small body perfectly as they always had. He pulled away embarrassed when Lucky's eyebrows raised, his expression unreadable.

"Happy Thanksgiving Lucky," Jason muttered hoping that they could remain civil throughout the dinner.

"You too," Lucky smiled anxiously. "Happy Thanksgiving Alexis, thank you for having me." He gave Alexis a quick hug.

At about nine-thirty after hours of laughing between the four adults, Lucky helped a tipsy Sam up ready to go.

"Bye Mom," she slurred hugging her mom tightly.

"Bye sweetie, Happy Thanksgiving!" she laughed at the sight of her daughter's hair falling out of place and her sweater stained with beets.

"I just got to tell you…" Sam started. "Jason that was a lov...loveleeeey experience I never knew you could be so tolerable." She smiled stumbling towards the door.

"Bye, Happy Thanksgiving." Lucky called out before grabbing Sam before she fell flat on her face.

"Oh my god I am so tired." Alexis exhaled flopping onto the couch. She turned her head to see Jason smirking.

"What?" she asked suspiciously, her eyebrow rose.

"I know you sabotaged my stuffing." He chuckled heavily.

"What?" she asked rising to her feet nervously. "I did nothing of the sort."

"Of course you did." He smiled knowingly. "You can't handle being number two and you had to beat me. Alexis that is very unhealthy." He teased her.

"I do not having a problem with losing." She sniffed.

"Okay, then say it. Say I lost." He chided.

"Fine," she replied breezily. "You lost." She cackled walking away.

He chased after her, grasping her waist from behind. He turned her around and leaned in kissing her on the lips. Alexis smiled as she kissed him feeling butterflies in her stomach.

She pressed her lips against his wrapping her arms around him. She hadn't been this happy in such a long time.

Just as they started walking backwards still kissing Jason's eye caught the clock.

"Oh god," he pulled away.

"What is it?" she asked confused. Then she realized they had almost made it over to the couch. I will not be a tramp. She urged herself. No matter how good he looks.

"I'm supposed to go over and see Jake." He sighed running his fingers through his hair. "I have to go. I'm so sorry." He mumbled kissing her once again before walking towards the door.

Alexis sighed disappointed but understanding. "Hey Jason?" she called.

"Yeah?" he asked turning around in the doorway.

"Happy thanksgiving and come back soon." She told him blowing him a kiss.

"Will do." He winked "catching" the kiss.
