Liz was ready to make nice with Courtney and Jason when Jason looked up and met her gaze.
Jason felt his breath falter. Liz looked stunning, no she looked beautiful in her simple
blue dress. He always thought she looked good in blue. It brought out her eyes. As he
gazed into her eyes he saw something he hadn't before in the park Anger. 'Of course she'd
be angry. I told her I'd try and then I left her. For Courtney, no less.' 'But that's over
now. I'm going to show her just how hard I'm willing to try.' With that he headed over to
where Elizabeth was standing besides Ric and Sonny. He slid one arm around her waist and
another one up to her face. He then brought his lips down to meet hers in a powerful but
passionate kiss. She moaned as his tongue massaged hers. For a few seconds, she could swear
that she could feel love in that kiss but when the pain of the memories and what he had done
to her came crashingback she pushed back abruptly.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Jason Morgan?" Liz demanded placing both of her hands
on her hips. "Do you think that you can just kiss me and make me fall....make me care about you
again? Make me forget all the pain you caused me? Because I'll never forget." Liz said backing
up as tears streamed down her face. "I don't want to feel anything for you. I don't want you
to matter to me. I'm stronger than that. You've moved on with Courtney and I've moved on with
Ric so let's leave it at that okay?" Elizabeth suggested moving away from him as quickly as
possible.
"Elizabeth, wait." Jason said, silently begging her to stay so they could talk.He reached out to
grab her when Ric stepped in front of him.
"Stay the hell away from her. Can't you see that you've hurt her and she doesn't want you around
anymore. You cause her more pain just being in her sights. Do her a favour and stay away from her."
Ric responded
"Look, Lansing, this isn't any of your business. So just back off or you're going to be feeling
some pain." Jason snapped. He couldn't help it. This guy continuously got on his nerves and was
fed up with it.
" Jason, stop it. Ric is a part of this no matter what you'd like to think. Ric and I.....have
been getting closer lately and we've decided to see each other, just like you and Courtney did.
Only I have the guts to tell you to your face!" Elizabeth exploded. She grabbed Ric's hand and
said "Let's get out of hear."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ARHH!!!" Liz yelled a the top of her lungs as Ric and her entered the park. A couple passing by
gave them a weird look but continued on. " I can't believe that he did that! The nerve of him....
." Liz began to pace as she rambled on.
"Liz calm down. Are you angry because he kissed you and you liked it or is it something else entirely?"
Ric calmly asked.
Liz stopped pacing and Ric knew that he was right. Elizabeth was angry at herself for still caring
and maybe even loving Jason. Ric walked over to where Liz was standing and guided her to a bench.
They both sat in silence, waiting for the other to start.
"Elizabeth, what you said back there.......about us being together. Is that what you want? Or are
you just saying it to get back at Jason?" Ric asked wanting to know if she felt the same connection
as he did.
"Ric, You're an amazing man. I've known that ever since we met. And for a while now I've been having
feelings that I thought I'd only ever have for Jason. That's something special. I want us to try this
and see where it goes. We might end up friends or maybe even more than friends." Liz tried to explain
and knew that he felt the same way when he smiled at her. A smile that made her feel special and that
only her could make him do that. Ric leaned down and brushed his lips lightly over Liz's making her
shiver at the contact. "How about I walk you home?" Ric asked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason had been sitting in one of Sonny's chair with a beer in his hand for over an hour and
couldn't help thinking about Elizabeth's reaction to the kiss. He's expected her to at least hear
him out but obviously she'd changed. He took a sip of his beer and then set in down on the table
and stood up, not liking the idea of going back to the empty apartment across the hall. Just as
he was about to leave, Courtney came up behind him.
"Hey, are you okay?" Courtney asked concerned.
"Not really."Jason replied shortly.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Courtney asked, knowing that Jason probably needed it but wouldn't
ask for it.
"I know she wouldn't want to talk to me but I thought I could at least explain." Jason said wincing
as he remembered her harsh words.
"Ric and I.....have been getting closer lately and we've decided to see each other, just like you
and Courtney did. Only I have the guts to tell you to your face!" Liz exploded.
"It's too late for us now." he sighed
"So you're not even going to do anything?" demanded Courtney. "You're just going to let her walk
out of your life without telling her that you love her?"
"What are you talking about? I.....I don't love her......I do love her. I guess that's why I've
been pushing her away." Jason stammered as he realized the extent of his feelings for Elizabeth.
"You're right, Courtney. I don't want her gone from my life." With that he grabbed his jacket
and went off to find Elizabeth.
Jason felt his breath falter. Liz looked stunning, no she looked beautiful in her simple
