Hello everyone! First, I would like to thank everyone for their comments.

I decided to not go along with the storyline verbatim, there will be hints of storyline/spoilers but things will not be as literal. I hope this does not turn away viewers because a jealous Jason is coming up in the next chapter (which I am working on tonight and tomorrow). This chapter is short, but I felt bad for not posting in a while. Enjoy and Comment!

Chapter 5

A week of truths had happened; the truth of Elizabeth and Nik and the truth of how Claudia was murdered and the plan to cover it. Jason was being pulled in every direction for his opinion and help. Mean while the only one who did not pressure him was Sam. Jason knocked on Sam's door; it was late but he knew she was most likely up.

"Hey" She said as the door opened

"Am I interrupting anything?" Jason asked

"No, just paying the bills. I can take a break."

"As much as I hate talking about my feelings, I need to vent and you are the only person who has not pushed me to doing what they want."

"Of coarse, come in. Do you want something to drink, I would offer food, but there is nothing except cereal"

"No, I am good" he said sitting down in the middle of her couch

"So, what's on your mind? Or do you want me to guess"

"Funny, I have gotten better at talking than when we first met—I did live with you for a few years"

Sam laughed as she thought back to when she was pregnant and when Jason was nearly mute. "I am guessing this is about Michael and not Liz and Lucky"

"Yeah, you are right. Sonny wants to frame Franco and I just have a bad feeling about this, I mean they have stuff on Sonny, it is hard to push the evidence away from him."

"Sonny thinks he knows what he is doing. Just tell him all the ways it could go badly and he may change his mind." Sam said

"He is not thinking straight—his child is involved'

"Look, he trusts you with his life and if you think this could possibly send him to prison for life he may think differently. Give him a chance to work things out in his head."

"Thanks" Jason said as he grabbed her hand and rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. Sam leaned in halfway, making sure he wanted her as much as she wanted him. He came the rest of the way and pulled her into a kiss. It was gentle but made them hunger for more. They did not want to get too carried away because Jason wanted to work things out with Sonny as soon as he could.

"I need to ask you something. I am already prepared for you answer to be no, but I figured it could not hurt to ask." Sam said

"Shoot"

"Would you like to go to this dinner with me? It is a dinner in the city acknowledging private investigators in the state of New York. Spinelli is bringing Maxie and I kind of did not want to go alone. One more thing…It is formal—meaning suit and tie." Sam said the last part with her teeth clenched

"You know I do not like this kind of stuff."

"Yeah, I know. It was worth a try."

"It is not that I do not want to spend a night away from Port Charles with you, it is just that I tend to bring negative attention."

"Yeah, it is fine. I will just have Spinelli and Maxie go."

"Sam, you should go. You earned a night out. Would if just you and Spinelli go, then it will not seem like a third wheel?"

"Maxie has already been asked…she is not backing down from a chance to dress up."

"Yeah I figured."

"If it means a lot to you, I will go" Jason said reluctantly

"I know, but you would be miserable and I do not want to put you through that. I will be fine. Plus if I do not go—you and I will have your Penthouse to ourselves for the night."

"Well I like the sounds of that!!" Jason said smiling "Well I need to go see Sonny and you should get back to your bills, I am sure being kidnapped made you late on payments, which I will happily cover."

"Thanks, for the offer but I only was late on one and the fee is a measly $10.00."

"Okay. But I will make that up to you." Jason said as he leaned into kiss her goodbye.

Spinelli/Jason

"Did Fair Samantha ask you to be her date to the fancy dinner?"

"Yeah. We decided to just take advantage of the empty penthouse while you and Maxie go"

"Well Sam has to go, she is accepting an award"

"She never said anything about that?"

"Well she is a nominee and I snuck a peek into the winner and she is the lucky one. It is a esteemed award she was hoping to share with the ones she loves"

"I wish she told me that."

"Would you still have wanted to go, Stonecold?"

"I would want to be there for her. After all she stood by me through Franco and the Claudia saga. But these parties are not my thing"

"Yes, she is one loyal friend. I think she should go and you should be the one to push her to do it!" Spinelli replied. "My my fair Maximista is calling." Spinelli hung up the phone and walked to his room to get ready for work.

I wonder what that was about Jason thought to himself well it is Maxie, I would rather not know!

Jason sat on the couch and thought about Sam winning an award and how she needed this , this was a more appropriate way to start the year. Jason then looked at the invitation which dated the event two weeks from now leaned back on the couch and contemplated going.

What do you think? I am actually afraid to know what you all think, cause it may be negative :(
