A/N – Thanks for the comments! A major villain is revealed this chapter…muwaaahhhh. * Guest – Thanks for pointing out the errors. The name thing is kicking my ass this time around. I fixed them. * KLJLizFan – That is the dilemma with amnesia. You as the reader know it's Jason so I refer to him as such when he's having his own thoughts etc but then use Jake when someone is addressing him (although I did make a few mistakes with that). In the very beginning you don't know that he has amnesia and I wanted it to be a surprised so I started out with Jason and continued from there. Oh well. I didn't think it was confusing because you know it's Jason but I think I'll just change it all. New people reading just won't be surprised about the amnesia. * chicki62 & Blackberry - Sorry was out of town and a friend posted for me. Thanks Liasonrules!

So going forward, not referring to Jason at all by Tom's River peeps.

Chapter 3 - Falling

A few days later, Liz and Jake were eating and her phone vibrated. Liz groaned.

"Hi Sarah."

Sarah smiled. "Hey Lizzie, what are you doing?"

"Eating." She said flatly.

"Listen, I was wondering what you're wearing for the party."

Liz smiled. "My scrubs with some heels."

"Very funny." Sarah said rolling her eyes.

"Why do you care what I wear? Everyone will be looking at you anyway." Liz quipped.

Sarah smirked. She was the one with the rock on her hand. "That's true. So, are you bringing a date?"

Liz looked over at Jake. "Yes."

"Is he hot?" Sarah asked.

She grinned. "Very."

"He's sitting next to you isn't he?" Sarah asked excitedly.

She held the phone away. "Say hi." She said to Jake holding the phone up.

"Hi." He said.

"Sexy." Sarah said. "Of course, not as sexy as Patrick."

Liz chuckled. "Why don't you go sex him up so I can finish my dinner."

Sarah smirked. "If you want to go have sex with….what was his name again?"

"I didn't say." Liz said grinning picturing Sarah's reaction in her mind.

"Come on Elizabeth." Sarah said frustratedly.

Liz loved messing with Sarah's head. "His name is Jake. Bye, bye, I have to go."

She ended the call as Sarah protested in her ear.

Jake chuckled.

"We like to needle each other and trust me, she's easy to pick on." Liz said. "She has a point though, I have no idea what I'm wearing."

"You'll look beautiful in anything." Jake said.

"Thank you. I'll make Maggie go shopping with me. She has no life."

"If you need some help changing….."

Liz grinned. "I'll be sure to give you a call."

He partially got up so he could give her a quick kiss. "Blue."

"Huh?"

"You should wear blue."

She smiled. "I'll keep that in mind. You know, you would look yummy in blue too."

He smiled. "I'll keep that in mind as well."

They finished eating and then snuggled together on the couch.

Carly looked at a picture of Jason and sighed. Another month was almost gone and still no sign of him.

She had just gotten off the phone with Lila wishing she could have given her some good news.

Michael squealed and she turned and watched Bobbie playing with him and then sat down next to her mom.

"Don't give up hope." Her mother said as she bounced her grandson.

"I won't. It just makes me sad knowing he's out there somewhere alone."

Bobbie sighed. "Jason is one of the strongest men I know. He's a survivor Carly. You know that."

"Trust me, I do. It's the only reason I'm not having a complete breakdown."

Michael looked over at his mother and smiled.

"You are so cute." Carly said as Michael babbled away and drooled.

Bobbie was a little worried about Carly. It was hard to get her to eat much of anything and she felt like she looked a little thin. No one was handling Jason's disappearance well and she just hoped that he would be found soon.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Emily grinned at Lila as she spun around. "So, you like this one?"

Lila smiled. "It's perfect but Sarah might be jealous if you look more beautiful than her."

Alan walked into the room. "Some things can't be helped."

Emily hugged her father. "You're biased."

"Maybe but you are still beautiful."

She kissed him on the cheek and ran off.

"Have you heard anything yet?" Lila asked him. She was so worried about Jason. He never left for any length of time without telling her first.

"No. Carly said there is still no word." He said sitting down on the couch.

"This isn't good Alan."

"I know. I hope nothing really bad has happened." He said softly.

"Me too." She said solemnly. When AJ had crashed his car and Jason had lost all his memories, it had rocked the family to its core. It was especially difficult when Jason lashed out at them, but they refused to give up on him, even after he went to work for Sonny. Killer or no killer, he was a Quartermaine and they never turned their backs on him. Eventually, their persistence had paid off and with Carly's help, Jason came to understand and accept his family. They didn't see each other often because of the danger, but he made sure that he kept in touch with them. After all they had been through, it was enough.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Stefano DiMera put his drink down and sighed. He wanted some of the warehouses that Sonny Corinthos owned, not only were the properties prime territory, but their locations were great as well. He had already tried to take out Jason Morgan and his sources said that the man was still suffering from amnesia from the accident. If he started to remember, then he'd finish the job he started after he messed with the man a bit. He needed Sonny vulnerable. The only reason he hadn't struck yet was because he liked a good game of chess. Sonny was not only reeling from Jason being missing, but EJ had been doing little things to mess up his shipments and had also developed a friendship with Jason's girlfriend. She would be their 'in' and she didn't even know she was being used.

If need be, he'd sic Kristen on Carly. She could go after Sonny and destroy his marriage. They would never see him coming.

He smiled. Life was good and it was about to get even better. "May the best man win." He said holding up his glass.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Maggie sat down in a chair and munched on some candy. They had been shopping for two hours and Elizabeth still hadn't found a dress.

"Ughhh." Liz yelled from inside the dressing room.

"This is what you get for waiting until the last minute."

Liz poked her head out. "You are not helping."

"Let me see." Maggie said impatiently.

"No, I look like a bloated grape." Liz said groaning.

Maggie chuckled. "Come on."

Liz stepped out into the open and Maggie bit her lip. "Go ahead and say something, you know you want too."

"You looked like a very pissed off bloated grape. I won't argue." Maggie agreed.

One of the employees walked over with a blue dress and handed it to Elizabeth. "Try this one on."

Liz nodded and went back inside. A few minutes passed by.

"Why I am not hearing anything? Did you pass out from exhaustion?" Maggie asked.

"Very funny." Elizabeth said looking at herself one more time. "Not bad." She muttered.

She walked out and a slow grin appeared on Maggie's face. "That is definitely the one."

"Good. I'll take it. And there better be some chocolate left over."

Maggie smiled. "I do value my life Elizabeth."

Liz smiled and went back inside of the changing room. Mission cause Jake to drool was on. Two days to go and she could get this party over with.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Matt knocked on Patrick's door. After a few seconds, it swung open.

"Hey little bro." Patrick said giving him a hug.

Matt smiled. "So this is where the magic happens." He said looking around.

"You know it." Patrick said grinning.

"I still can't believe that you got engaged. She must be pretty hot."

Sarah walked into the living room with shorts on and a tank top. "Who was at the…" She gasped.

"You must be Sarah." Matt said grinning.

She blushed. "I'm so sorry. I would have worn something more appropriate if I knew you'd be here this early."

"I got bumped." Matt explained.

She gave him a hug. "Welcome to our place." She said smiling.

"Thank you."

"Did you already go to the hotel?" She asked.

"Yes. I'm checked in and ready to go." He said.

Sarah smiled. "Good. You'll need a good rest tonight because I invited a lot of single nurses to the party."

Matt smiled. "Now you're talking."

"Hey babe, I'm going to take Matt out for lunch. You want to come?"

"No, you two go catch up. I need to run in and give a consultation. We can have dinner together." Sarah said.

"Sounds good."

Sarah's phone rang. "Dr. Webber."

Matt's face paled.

Patrick frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Her last name is Webber?"

Patrick rolled his eyes. "Did you not even bother to read the invitation?"

"Not really."

"What is the problem?" Patrick asked.

Sarah's call had ended and she watched the two men closely.

Matt looked over at Sarah. "Do you by any chance have a sister named Elizabeth?"

Sarah smiled. "Yes. Why?"

Matt groaned.

Patrick's eyes grew wide. "Liz is Elizabeth; the person who dumped you?"

Matt sat down. "Yes. I take it she will be there?"

Sarah nodded. "Why did she dump you?"

"She had decided to move and felt like it was the best choice." He said sadly.

"But you didn't?" Sarah asked sitting next to him.

He shook his head no. "I was in love with her."

"Was she in love with you?" Sarah asked. She and Elizabeth chatted from time to time but Liz never was one to say much about her love life.

"I don't think so, at least not like how I felt." He said.

Sarah sighed. "I'm sorry."

"Is she bringing someone?" Matt asked.

"Yes."

Matt groaned. "Great."

Patrick grabbed his brother's arm, "Come on, let's go eat. You can tell me all about it."

Matt got up and followed him out. This was not the visit he was expecting.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jake finished work and then went to his apartment and made sure it was clean. Elizabeth hadn't been up there yet and he wanted to make a good impression.

He frowned when he heard the knock on his door. Marching over to it, he swung the door open and was surprised to see Elizabeth standing there.

"Hey." She said softly. "I thought I'd save you the trip."

He smiled. "Come in." He said stepping back.

She walked past him as her eyes surveyed the room. There was minimal furniture. It was simple yet masculine and tasteful. "I like it." She said.

"You don't have to say that."

"No, I mean it." She said.

He accepted it and then asked her if she wanted a drink.

"Some water would be nice."

He got a bottle from the fridge and handed it to her.

"Thanks." She said sitting on the couch. "Something smells good."

"It's pasta." He said.

He grabbed two beers and sat down next her. "Are you nervous about tomorrow?"

"Very but I'm really glad that you'll be with me." She said smiling.

"I'm a little nervous too."

She frowned. "You just stick close to me. I'll make sure my family doesn't bombard you with a million questions."

He leaned over and kissed her. "That is becoming the favorite part of my day."

She blushed. "Mine too."

He stood up and held out his hand and she took it and walked over to the table. "Have a seat." He said before going into the kitchen and dishing out the pasta. He put a plate down in front of her and she smiled.

"It looks delicious." She said smiling.

"Dig in." He said.

She took a bite and smiled. "Yum."

He smiled and they ate in a comfortable silence. After a while, Jake got up and turned some music on.

Liz sat back. "I'm stuffed."

"But I brought you dessert."

She smiled. "I sure I can fit it in later."

He got up and took her plate and she followed him into the kitchen and started helping him clean up.

When they were finished, Jake trapped her against the sink and kissed her senseless. She loved the feel of his lips. The man certainly knew how to kiss. He made her swoon. Moaning into his mouth she felt the sensation of being lifted and she wrapped her legs around his waist and his hands slipped up the back of his shirt.

"Jake." She whispered as she tried to catch her breath.

"I want you so badly." He said fighting for control as he leaned his forehead against hers.

Things had moved so fast between them. It was heady and overwhelming. "I want you too." She whispered.

He groaned and kissed her again with everything he had and as their tongues mated, he carried her into the bedroom and placed her down gently. "Are you sure?"

She nodded and pulled her shirt over her head and he took her in and licked his lips before diving down quickly and plundering her mouth again. She felt her bra slip away from her body and then his mouth was on her breast and she moaned, aching for him. He switched sides and her hands found their way into his hair and pulled him closer. Jake licked and sucked until Elizabeth was shuddering in need. She watched him pull back and take off his shirt. God he was so beautiful. He pulled off her pants and underwear.

"You're so damn beautiful." He said as his eyes filled with want.

Quickly, he took off the rest of his clothes and Elizabeth was stunned at his size.

"Do we need protection?" He asked.

She shook her head no. "I'm on the shot." She said.

Pausing, he turned a little red and looked down at her. "I haven't done this since the accident." He sputtered out. It was kind of like he was a virgin in a way because he didn't remember having sex before.

She reached up and touched his face. "It's okay."

Jake's mouth crushed hers and Liz was lost again. In a haze, she felt him touch her and her body jerked. Moaning loudly, she pulled back. "Jake please…" She begged.

Liz reached for his erection and stroked it a few times and Jake cursed under his breath. He felt like he was barely holding on. She lined him up and he surged forward gasping as he bottomed out. Liz's mouth dropped open and she moaned loudly as he filled her up. Jake kissed her passionately before starting to slowly move. Liz began to thrust back against him. "Harder." She yelled.

Jake pulled back and grabbed her hips and began pounding into her.

"Oh God." She yelled. He felt so good.

He changed the angle and was rubbing against her clit as she began to make the sexiest noises. Knowing he wouldn't last much longer, he moaned her name. "Elizabeth."

"Touch me." She said knowing he was getting close.

She took his hand and moved it over her clit and Jake watched her start to fall apart and as she screamed his name and her body shook, her walls tightened and Jake cried out her name as he erupted and total bliss made his body tremble. His body collapsed as he still jerked inside of her and Elizabeth wrapped her arms around him. After a few minutes, he rolled on his side. "Did I hurt you?" He asked.

She smiled. "No, it was fantastic."

He kissed her softly. "Now that I know what I'm missing, we may never leave this bed." He said huskily.

Liz laughed. "I would actually love that."

She touched his face. "Jake, you already mean so much to me. What if you remember who you are and you have a family? I'm so scared I'm going to lose you."

He closed his eyes for a few seconds. It was something he actually dreaded thinking about. "I don't want this to end Elizabeth. I'm already falling for you and I don't know if I'll remember the past but I could never forget you."

Liz hugged him tightly. "We'll just take it day by day. I don't want to live in what ifs. I just want to enjoy my time with you."

He pulled back. "You make it sound like it will end."

"I really hope it doesn't but…."

"It's a possibility that eventually I will remember." Jake sighed. "Maybe we shouldn't have done this. I never want to hurt you."

She kissed him. "I don't regret the time I've spent with you. It has meant so much to me. My thoughts are consumed by you." She said emotionally.

He ravished her lips and soon they were making love again. This time, Jake took his time and savored every moment.

A/N – There are still villain surprises so I'm going to wait to post my banner! For those who don't watch DOOL. Don't worry. You'll get the info you need to know about the characters. Stefano is pretty much the Helena of GH and EJ I guess would be Nikolas.
