Jax and Carly arrived at the beach to find it completely deserted.

"Just the way I like it. No loud people interrupting us"

"Yeah me too. I have always loved the beach. the water feels like home"

They got the stuff out of the car and found a spot near the water.

Jax laid down the blanket and all of there stuff. Carly was standing there taking off her skirt and tanktop she had put on over her suit. Jax took off his shirt.

"Are you ready?"

"Ya almost..hair up or down?"

"Down is hotter"

"Your a such a man"

"So what if I am"

"I bet you cant catch me"

"And if I can?"

" You cant. you run like a girl" Carly said laughing. Before Jax knew she took off running into the water.

"Damnnit..." Jax said chasing after her. He ran right into the water.

"Carly?"

Jax swam through the water playfully looking for Carly. He had just given up when someone jumped on his back.

"Miss me?"

"Of course." Jax said as he turned to face her.

Carly had her arms around his neck and they were turning around and around. She let go of his neck and took off swimming. It was another game of chase and this time he would win.

Jax took off and caught up to Carly.He came up behind her slowly and barely breathed on her, just enough to send chills down her spine. He smiled as he took off to the shore, she chased after him and caught up quickly. He reached the shore and went to get up but Carly grabbed onto him and they slipped and fell onto the ground. Carly was on top of Jax and there was this awkward moment where they just looked into each other's eyes. Jax finally got her off of him and he went over to the basket and brought out another blanket.

"You wanna lay down with me and watch the stars?"

"Wow...that sounds so..." she pauses and smiles lovingly.." corny" Carly says now laughing.

Jax got all depressive looking and Carly felt bad, so she apologized.

Jax laid down and Carly laid on his chest they were pointing at the stars in the sky and and just laying there together.

"Your not even going to ask me why I freaked out like that are you?"

" Sam says it's yours to tell and you will tell me when your ready."

Carly sat up and so did Jax they looked into one anothers' eyes.

"Jax, I was married before to Jason Morgan. He and I had our problems but they werent your normal problems. Jason beat me"

"By beat you, you mean he abused you phhysically or emotionally"

"Phsically, Emotionally,Sexually. you name it. If Jason had a bad day at work and he came home and wanted sex. and i didnt want to, he would force me." By now Carly had tears in her eyes.

" That bastard where is he? I will fucking kill him"

'He's dead. He committed suicide. The night I left him."

"How are you dealing with this?"

"It wouldnt be as bad if I didnt have nightmares."

"Carly...im sorry"

'It's okay. Jason is my past." Jax looked into her eyes and wiped away her tears.

"I just have a hard time being touched by guys. And today what you said and then what happened I freaked on you. I figured you would leave like every other guy."

"I'm not going anywhere. This past week has been the BEST week of my entire life."

"Mine too. I dont know what it is about you Mr. Jacks"

They were just laying on the ground, silenced filled the air as they looked at the sky.

"Jax?"

"Yeah Carly?"

"Can you hold me in your arms tonight?"

" Of course"

Carly laid on Jax's chest and he held her in his arms. They continued to watch the sky until they fell asleep.

For the first time in a LONG time, Carly slept peacefully. She didnt have a single night mare.

The next morning she woke up in his arms, her cheeks were grinning.

"Oh Jax!"

"ZZZzzzzz..."

He was still sound asleep. She crept out of his arms and went to the car. There was an ice chest in the back seat. She grabbed a cup full of ice and went over to Jax. He was still sound asleep.

Carly dropped the enttire cup of ice on Jax. He jumped up in less than 2 seconds.

"Holy shit that is COLD!"

"Morning Sunshine"

"Why did you do that?"

"Do what?"

'Pour ice on me"

"Me? I did no such thing" Carly said trying to look innocent.

"Alright then. Would you like to join me for breakfest or do u want to go home?"

"Breakfest"

They packed up there stuff and got in the car. Jax drove them to Kelly's and they sat the the booth.

"Hey Carly, Jax. Nice to see you together"

"Yea." Carly said smiling.

They ordered breakfest and ate, Jax drove Carly to her house.

" So I guess this is it."

"For now...Mr Jacks. "

"When will I see you again?"

"I dont know. It depends. You could always come by anytime, just call first."

Jax opened her front door and put her stuff down. She walked into the house and turned back to face him.

"Last night was amazing Jax. That meant so much to me. For the first time in a long time, I felt safe."

"You will always be safe with me"

Jax kissed Carly's forehead and left.

About that time Sam came downstairs with Lucky. She was only wearing her sports bra and lucky's boxer shorts. He was in her robe.

"UH...Hey Carly"

"Well well well dont you two look guilty"

"What?"

"Lucky... Can I have a moment alone with Sam?"

'Yeah sure. Sam I am going to go shower, maybe when your done you can join me?"

"Yeah"

Lucky kissed Sam's cheek and went upstairs.

"So what happened?"

"Well we went to the beach and chased each other in the water, and we almost kissed. But we didnt, then we looked at the stars. I told him about Jason. And then there was silence as we looked at the sky. And I asked him if he would hold me in his arms. We fell asleep and for the first time in a long time I didnt have a nightmare."

"Wow.. Sounds like you have landed yourself Prince Charming"

The girls laughed and decided it was time to get ready they had businness meetings galore today...
