Liz sighed as Ric and her walked up to her studio door. She didn't want
the night to end. She slipped her hand into Ric's as she leaned in for
another kiss. It started out gentle but quickly turned passionate. Like
fire on fire, their tongues battled each other. Breathless they pulled
apart.
"Goodnight." Liz whispered as Ric squeezed her hand one more time.
"Goodnight Elizabeth." Ric said softly.
As soon as Elizabeth was back in her apartment, she dropped her purse on
the couch and took off her coat. After she had hung it in her closet,
she went to very compact kitchen to put on some coffee. She quickly changed
and just as she was about to sit down on the couch and pull the blanket
on top of her, pounding started on her door. At first she decided to ignore
it, but after the pounding increased she stormed angrily to the door.
"What?!?" Elizabeth shouted, as she opened the door to find Jason Morgan
leaning against the door with a determined look on his face.
"Can I come in?" Jason asks, a smirk starting to form on his face as he
took in Elizabeth. Her hair looked as thought she just woke up and was
sticking out at different angles. She was dressed in grey sweat pants that
were riding low on her hips and a black tank top that fit snugly on her,
showing off all her curves. All in all, she looked pretty damn good.
Elizabeth sighs, not wanting to deal with it right now but knowing she
had no choice she let him in.
"What do you want? Are you here to apologize?" Elizabeth demanded as she
took in his appearance. His hair was dishevelled and was sticking out at
places. He wore a navy coloured t-shirt that brought out his ice blue eyes
and lightly hugged his muscles in all the right places. Over the t-shirt
he wore his signature leather jacket and she noticed, wore his favourite
pair of jeans. 'What the hell are you thinking? You're supposed to be over
him' she thought angrily to herself.
"For what?" Jason asked innocently, knowing full well what she meant.
"That stunt you pulled tonight!" Liz ranted, as she thought back to the
kiss. The one thing that had made that night seem perfect. But she couldn't
tell him that.
As Jason started to walk towards her, she began to back up until she backed
up into the stove. At that moment the coffee pot decided to ring, telling her
that it was ready and she jumped, startled. That's when she realized that
Jason had brought his hand up to her arm to steady her.
"You're jumpy tonight." Jason joked, as he brought his hand up to her
face. He gently brushed his thumb across her cheek. She leaned into his
touch, comforted by what he was giving her. "I think we should talk
about what has happened lately." Jason said.
"I...I..think that's a good idea." Elizabeth stuttered, as she fought
back the feeling of just kissing him senseless.
The bell above the door at Kelley's rang, indicating that someone just
entered. Courtney sighed as she wished for the night to be over. After
talking to Jason, she had headed over to the café to start her shift.
That had been four hours ago. She glanced up to see the short brunette
that she had recently become friends with.
"Brenda." Courtney smiled, as she headed over to talk to her friend.
"How are you?" Brenda asked, concern etched in her face.
"I'm okay. I mean, it worked out for the best. I think I knew all along
that Jason was still in love with Elizabeth but I chose to ignore it."
Courtney commented, as she sat down across from Brenda.
"So let me guess, he's off trying to talk to her right?" Brenda guessed.
"You're right." Courtney laughed. "He's trying. You know how stubborn
Elizabeth can be. She practically as stubborn as he is. Anyway, I don't
think they're talking anymore."
"What do you mean?" Brenda asked, with a glint in her eyes, telling
Courtney that she new full well what they were doing. " You honestly
don't think they're talking anymore?"
"Well, they sure ain't sitting, having tea and crackers!" Courtney joked.
" I can only imagine what they're doing now." Brenda smiled, but it
quickly turned into a disgusted face when she realized what she was
thinking about. "EWWW!!"
After they sat in an awkward silence for about five minutes, they both
realized that talking wasn't going to help them. Five seconds later,
Jason and Elizabeth were making out heavily on the couch. It felt wonderful,
giving into temptation. For at least seven minutes, she felt like she was
in heaven, when reality came crashing down on her. She remembered the time
she had followed Courtney, only to find out that she was sleeping with
Jason. She remembered the time when she had first seen them walking into
Kelly's holding hands. She remembered the satisfaction, when she slapped
Courtney. But most of all, she remembered the pain.
He could feel her retreating back into herself, back where she had built
a stone wall around her heart to protect herself. 'No, no.' he screamed
to himself. 'Don't let her do this again.'
"Liz....I....." he stammered to find the words but she just shook her head.
"I can't do this anymore, Jason. I don't want to feel the pain that comes
with being with you. Besides, I'm with Ric now. Someone I genuinely care
about and someone who cares for me back. I.... just need some time to think."
Liz babbled all in one breath.
"Just hear me out, Elizabeth. Courtney and I.....we broke up. We just didn't
feel the feelings that we had for other people. I want you to know that when
we were together.....I was scared because I was feeling things that I'd never
felt before. I made the mistake of letting you go before when you walked out
of my life but don't think I'll make that mistake again." Jason explain.
Then he got up, grabbed his coat and left her with her thoughts.
As soon as the door quietly shut behind him, Elizabeth couldn't help the tears
that flowed silently down her face. As thoughts swirled through her brain, she
squeezed her eyes shut tightly. She brushed the stray tears off her cheeks and
then, with an clear mind, decided to do pros and cons. Pro: Jason and her might
actually work this time. Con: He could also break her heart again. Pro: She already
had a great guy. Ric. Con: He would never be Jason. He just couldn't ever make
her feel like Jason could. "ARGGG!" Elizabeth yelled, frustration evident on her
face. With a determined look on her face, she decided one thing. Lizzie Webber
was coming out tonight.
the night to end. She slipped her hand into Ric's as she leaned in for
