"MOMMY JASON MOMMY JASON" came from an exuberant Kristina.
Alexis opened one eye, "what did mommy tell you about yelling on Saturday morning" she asked groggy voice.
"I'm sorry mommy, but daddy is here in the living room...he said he needs to talk to Jason" she said before running out.
Suddenly she felt wide awake and was very aware of the naked man chest laying over her arm.
"Jason" she hissed shaking him.
What she didn't expect was for him to grab her and pull her on top of him and start kissing her neck.
"Jason...stop...Jason...Sonny...Jason...don't stop" she muttered reveling in the way his mouth was feeling on her neck.
A knock came at the door and a familiar voice, "should I come back later?"
Hearing Sonny's voice would probably always be a big ice bucket of water on the couple.
"I'm coming right out" Jason said getting out of bed and pulling on his jeans. When he was done he turned back to her, "we will finish that later"
She got up slower, and pulled on a pair of jeans and a soft sweater. She stopped in to the nursery to grab Molly out of her crib.
"Hey angel" she said kissing her on the head and scooping her up. After a much needed diaper change she walked out into the living room where she caught the last part of the conversation between the two men.
"Which is why you understand how important this is...Ric is getting dangerous"
She froze...and Jason heard her gasp and turn around.
"She should hear" he told Sonny and surprisingly he didn't object.
Alexis handed off Molly to Viola, "why don't you take the girls for a walk?" she asked.
When they were out of earshot she turned to Jason, "what's happening"
He pulled out photos and handed them to her, "he is working with Alcazar"
She looked at the photos and felt her chest tighten...she wanted to believe Ric would never put her or her family in danger...but there he was with Lorenzo Alcazar.
"What is he involved in" she asked looking to Sonny.
Sonny rubbed his chin before speaking, we don't really know yet...but I think it has a lot to do with Jason"
She felt her stomach do flip flops...she knew exactly how much he hated Jason...how much he wanted to hurt Jason. And now the stakes were higher...she was with Jason, and she had a feeling that upped the ante.
With a nod of the head; Sonny left...and Jason sat by a rather silent Alexis. He put his hand in hers and tried to figure out what she was thinking. It had been a whirlwind six months, but they had finally come to a good place. And now Ric threatened to invade their happiness.
He put his hand in hers, "you know I will protect you...you and the girls"
"You are so good to me" she said before cupping his cheeks in her hands.
He brought his lips to hers figuring there was no time but the present for them to finish what was started that morning.
She got his shirt off and two buttons undone before the door knock came and then she started laughing. He just smiled, picked up his shirt and threw it on.
The door swung open to two smiling blonds.
"Well there is my favorite ex-wife" Jax said hugging her and walking in.
"Carly" she said letting the woman in.
"And here is my best friend...with his shirt on inside out" Carly said looking like the cat who at the canary.
"Carly, Jax" he said acknowledging both of them before Alexis spoke.
"So what are you guys doing here"
Jax beamed, "well I wanted you to be the first to know" to which Carly jumped in, "and I wanted Jason to be the first to know" and Jax finished, "that we are engaged"
Carly held out her hand holding the enormous yellow stone.
"Congratulations" Alexis said hugging Jax.
Carly came to hug Jason, "don't think we are not talking about this" she said before kissing his cheek.
Before they left Carly turned around, "we want you two to join us for dinner tonight, like a double date"
Jax smirked, "seven o'clock at the Metro Court" he said without giving them a chance for excuses.
"Did we just get duped into having dinner with them" Alexis questioned.
He nodded and grabbed her, "well that means we have seven hours until then"
She let him kiss her senseless and then broke away, "no that means I have seven hours to do stuff, and you have to pick me up in six thirty"
He thought to protest, but she gave him the "I mean business look" so he forfeited. Before he left he stood poised at the door.
"I love you" he said giving his little boy smile.
She shut the door in his face and smiled picking up her cell phone. He answered on one ring, "I love you too" she said before flipping the phone closed.
She didn't know what it was about him that made her feel like a fifteen year old...and not the shy book worm type she was. She remembered the boy crazy girls and how stupid she thought they were...and now at 42 she was the same way.
He got back to the Penthouse and wasn't surprised when Carly was sitting on his couch.
"I am so mad at you" she said getting up to face him.
He licked his lips, "why Carly"
"Oh no, don't you why Carly me like you didn't know...you are my best friend...how could you not come and tell me you were...you were...whatever you are doing with Alexis" she spat out.
"And if I would have told you what would you have said"
She pouted, "that she wasn't good enough for you, that you were making a mistake"
He smiled at his best friend, "I love her Carly"
"Why did it have to be her?" she asked wrapping her arms around to hug him.
He thought about that question. It really made no sense at all...but made all the sense in the world. He had no idea how it was her...it just was.
She was looking for her shoe when she heard the doorbell ring.
"Kristina, can you open the door for Jason" she asked the little girl sitting on her bed.
Instead of hearing her Jason squeal she heard a, "mommy, daddy Ric is here"
Alexis cursed the heavens above and walked out to the living room.
"Oh well someone looks nice tonight, hot date" he asked leering.
"Kristina, why don't you go see what Molly is doing" she asked as the little girl skipped off.
"What do you want Ric?" she asked exasperated.
He sneered, "I wanted to come see MY daughter"
To that he got the eye roll, "Ric, there is this thing we have...it's called a custody agreement...remember the papers the judge made you sign...that means Viola will drop Molly off on Wednesdays in the morning...also every OTHER weekend you can pick her up on Friday night...today is not that day...so can you please leave so I can finish getting dressed"
She turned on her heel and he grabbed her arm and pulled her to where her ear was next to his lips, "I guess mother like daughter, huh...you like getting dressed up for the mob...being a mob moll?" he asked.
"Don't touch me Ric" she said pulling away and standing toe to toe.
"It was kind of sad...pathetic in a way seeing Sam's face after I told her about you and Jason...she didn't even believe me until I showed her these" he said throwing a file into her hand.
She opened it and there were pictures of her and Jason, sitting on the couch, kissing, at Kelly's, and her face went white, "where did you get these?" she asked her voice in ragged whisper.
"You photograph very well" he said.
Jason walked in and saw Alexis' stricken face and Ric standing over her, "what the hell are you doing here Lansing" he asked walking in.
"Oh the man of the hour...I was just telling Miss Davis here how well she photographs...good day" he said walking out.
Jason thought to give chase, but instead turned to Alexis, "what happened?"
She handed him the photos, "he showed those to Sam"
Jason nodded, "are you okay" he asked sitting down.
She looked at him in his dark gray slacks, blazer and the blue shirt under, "now I am"
They walked in the Metro Court fully aware that everyone was staring at them. First there was Jason Morgan in something than a Hanes Beefy T...accompanied by his ex fiancées mother. And they were meeting Carly and Jax for dinner.
He watched her walk...the black halter dress clinging to every spot perfectly. He loved to watch her walk; wondering how he hadn't noticed her legs for so long...and then he remembered the Eddie's Angel picture he saw posted in Texas and smiled...
Dinner was an interesting dance of tip-toeing around reality. Trying to ignore the stares from other tables. Jax kept the champagne flowing hoping it would keep Carly and Alexis civil...well his plan to seem to backfire; sort of.
Jason walked away from the table to take a call at the bar.
"Oh my, he does have the best ass ever, doesn't he?" Carly asked still sipping champagne.
"Hey" Jax said in mock disgust.
Both women laughed, "sweetie, you have a great ass too, but Jason"
"Those abs, those arms, he is like a statue" Alexis continued.
"That is what I thought the first time we...um...yeah" Carly said laughing.
Jason was walking curiously to the table seeing the two adversaries laughing and Jax looking green.
"What are we talking about?" he asked sitting down.
"How great you are in bed" Carly said smiling.
Insert awkward silences from the men and the women laughing.
To that Jax cleared his throat and excused him and Carly.
As they walked away Carly turned around, "we have to do this again Lex" she said slightly slurred.
Jason managed to get her to the car and the passenger seat, "have you ever been drunk before?"
She gave him a serious look, "Duh, I did go to college, people get drunk all the time...and you know what Carly is right...you do have the greatest ass I have ever seen...like seriously how much time do you spend in the gym"
He couldn't help but smile in seeing her like this state, "I think someone needs some coffee"
When he didn't get an answer he looked over to see her sleeping. He carried her inside the lake house and made busy with putting her in pajamas. He stripped down to his boxers and climbed in next to her.
The next morning she woke up with the worst headache. On the nightstand was a note.
Alexis,
Me and the girl's went out for an early morning swim.
J.
She smiled and then she smelled coffee. Yes this was the good life.
The Next Friday Night
"You play pool" he asked racking up the balls.
She grabbed the cue, "do I play pool" she repeated back sarcastically.
"What are the stakes?" he asked.
She smiled, Kristina was at Sonny's house, Nikolas had taken Molly since Ric was out of town so she had the whole night.
With a loud crack the balls flew over the table, and Jason knew he was in for a good night.
A/N: This is my light, fun, fluff chapter...I just wanted them to be happy for once, and I really wanted Alexis drunk...so hope you enjoyed, and hey if you did...leave some feedback.
