Chapter 3 – Just a Little Push

Sonny shook his head. Johnny led Liz to the dance floor and Sonny thought Jason's head was about to implode. He texted Max to call Johnny and tell him to get to the warehouse; that he heard the cops were on the way, and then call him right afterward. Sonny watched it unfold. Johnny stopped dancing and answered the phone. He hung up and looked like he was apologizing to Liz and they walked off the dance floor. Sonny answered his phone and turned to Jason as Johnny and Liz walked towards their table. "Jason, something is up at the warehouse, why don't you see that Liz gets home and Johnny and I will handle it."

Jason nodded. He watched them walk away and Liz sat down in Sonny's seat. "Hello Jason." She said smiling.

"Hi." He said softly. "I'm surprised to see you here."

"Johnny asked and I wasn't doing anything so I said yes. He's very funny."

About as funny as a heart attack, Jason thought to himself.

"You want something to drink?"

"Sure. How about a margarita—on the rocks—no salt."

Jason called the waitress over and ordered her drink and a beer for him.

"You want to dance?" She asked.

Jason would have normally said no, but he didn't want to disappoint her. "Sure."

He stood up and led her to the dance floor. They swayed to the music.

Carly watched from behind the bar. She wasn't amused in the slightest. She had always wanted Jason but he would never bite. So, she had settled for being just friends. There was a brief affair with Sonny and now she was single.

"You look beautiful tonight." Jason said softly.

Liz smiled. "Thank you. You look pretty good in that suit."

"I don't really like wearing them but it's a requirement for meetings."

"Well I like it on you and the blue shirt brings out your eyes." Liz said touching his chest. She knew she was making him squirm but she didn't care.

Jason didn't know what to say. He just stared at her not believing that this petite woman was having such a big affect on him. The song ended and they walked back to the table. The waitress had brought their drinks.

Liz took a sip. "Yum." She said smiling.

Jason smiled back. It was hard not to.

"So Jason, how come someone hasn't snatched you up yet?"

Jason shrugged. "I guess I'm just waiting for the right woman to come along."

Liz nodded.

"What about you?" He asked curiously.

"I've been in a few relationships. I just got out of one a few months ago, so I'm on a break."

Jason nodded. "I see. Who was the lucky guy?"

"His name is Pete. He is a professor at the University; one of Patrick Drake's friends."

"What went wrong?"

"He just wasn't the one." Liz said before sipping her drink.

Jason was actually glad to hear that. He watched her finish her drink and then flagged the waitress. "You ready to go?"

Liz nodded. "That's fine."

Jason paid the bill and then stood up. Liz took his hand that he held out and they walked to the elevator. They went down to the parking lot in silence. Jason still hadn't let go of her hand. When they got to his SUV, he looked down at her and asked, "Are you into Johnny?"

Liz smiled. "Not really. We're just friends."

"Does he know that?"

Liz chuckled. "Yes."

Jason breathed a sigh of relief and then opened the door and she climbed inside. He'd have a little talk with Johnny later.

They rode to her apartment in silence. Jason parked and walked around to her door and opened it. He held out his hand and walked her to her door.

"You want to come in for some coffee or a drink?" Liz asked as she fiddled with her key.

Jason shrugged. "Sure."

Liz smiled and they went inside. "Have a seat." She said walking into the kitchen. "What can I get you?"

"I'll take a beer if you have one." He said casually looking around.

She came back into the room with two beers and handed him one. They both took a swig and Liz put her beer down on the coffee table. "So besides pool and motorcycle riding, what else do you like to do?" She asked curiously.

"I like traveling."

Liz smiled. "Really, what is the most interesting place that you've ever been too?"

Jason thought for a moment. "Italy. It's my favorite." He said smiling. "What about you?"

"I'm an artist. It's my passion. Maybe you'll let me sketch you one day?"

Jason frowned. "Why would you want to do that?"

Liz grinned. He was a bit clueless sometimes. "I have a feeling that under that shirt, you've probably got a great body. And believe it or not, they actually pay people to model for the university so that we can practice drawing the human anatomy; mainly because it's so complex."

Jason was surprised. He watched Liz stand up and then turn and get on her knees beside him. She touched his face and Jason got goosebumps on his arms.

"You have a great facial structure as well." She said before gazing into his eyes. "And your eye color is beautiful. They aren't just one shade of blue you know." She said softly.

Jason sucked in his breath as she leaned in closer and brushed her lips over his. Her tongue found its way into his mouth and teased and played with him until she finally pulled back for air. "Jason, I want you to kiss me like I just kissed you." She said softly.

Jason looked a little uncomfortable.

"Relax, just go with it and do what feels right." She said. "Close your eyes and feel." She said breathlessly. "Go slow."

Jason grabbed her face and then lightly ran his tongue over her lips. His tongue dove inside her mouth and he remembered how lightly she flicked her tongue and he did the same. The kiss got more intense and Liz moaned into his mouth, startling Jason who pulled back and looked at her. She was beyond hot and for the first time in a long time he really wanted to be with someone.

Liz smiled. "That was really good." She said biting her lip.

Jason went in for another kiss and pulled her body closer. Liz ended up straddling him. Slowly unbuttoning his shirt, she ran her hands over his chest causing Jason to shiver. She kissed his neck and then moved back to his mouth.

"Mmmm." She moaned. "Nice."

Jason was having a hard time staying in control. It was taking every ounce of his strength to not move. They were quickly going into unknown territory for him and it made him a little uncomfortable.

She watched him doing inner battle for a moment and then slid her face across his and whispered in his ear. "What are you thinking about?" She said before nibbling on his ear.

Jason's breath caught in his throat as he fought a moan. "Elizabeth." He breathed out.

She pulled back and gave him a saucy look. "Yes Jason."

"We probably should stop."

"We're just making out Jason." She said smiling.

He looked away suddenly feeling embarrassed. "It's just…." He started to say before his voice trailed off.

She grabbed his face and turned it towards her. "You can tell me anything. I'm not going to judge you."

"I can't say it if you're looking at me." He said softly.

Liz slid off his lap and sat next to him crossed legged. She closed her eyes. "Go ahead."

"I've never been with anyone before."

Liz slowly opened her eyes. "And?"

He frowned. "You don't care?"

"Do you feel comfortable with me?" Liz asked ignoring his question.

"Yes."

"Good. I'm not going to force you into doing anything you don't want to do."

"Okay." He said slightly relieved that she was being cool about it.

"Wanna watch a movie?" She asked.

Jason shrugged. "Sure."
