Waking up in the early hours of the morning, Elizabeth reaches out for her cellphone on the side table. Checking the clock on Jason's wall, she groans. This couldn't be Ruby because she doesn't have her cellphone number. Her Gram's wouldn't call this early, not that she'd call her now, so that left only one person who would actually call this early.
"Dead or dying?" she mutters into the phone, laying on her stomach.
"Nice way to greet your brother, Blaze." Steven laughed softly. "Just calling to let you know I have to cancel on the open houses. Looks like the town's in for some heavy rain today."
Just then a loud grumble echoed through the bedroom. Just great. Elizabeth hates thunderstorms.
"Is that all?" Elizabeth looked over at her boyfriend, who was apparently unaffected by the storm. "Can I go back to sleep now?"
"Sheesh, you're still not a morning person." Steven teased. "I'll let you know when we can go house shopping later."
"Uh-huh." Elizabeth mumbled. "Bye Steven."
Ending the call before her brother could say anything else, Elizabeth tossed her cellphone onto the table.
"You okay?" came the sleepy concerned voice of her boyfriend.
"Steven just cancelled on our plans." Elizabeth whispered, getting comfortable again. "Looks like I don't have anything to do today."
"Great...I vote for staying in bed." Jason pulled her close, letting out a deep breath. "What do you say?"
"Sleeping the day away sounds perfect." she whispered, closing her eyes. "If only we could actually do that."
"Why not?" he whispered, his arms holding her close, knowing that she hated thunderstorms. "We can turn off the phones, lock the doors, and pretend like we're not here."
"You know why." Elizabeth sighed, wishing sleep would just take her over right then. "Two names...Carly and Sonny."
Jason groaned at the mention of their names. He knew better than anyone that those two can ruin any plans for a lazy day in bed. Especially Carly, she has a tendency to put them to use if they decided to have a do nothing day and stay in the penthouse.
"Forget them." Jason muttered. "We're staying in bed today."
"Whatever you say." Elizabeth nestled in against him. "After a night with Michael, I could only hope we get to stay in bed all day because I'm wiped out."
"Good. So sleep." Jason laughed softly. "I'm trying to."
"Oh shut up." Elizabeth smirked, taking a deep breath, falling into a peaceful slumber moments later as she listened to Jason breathing.
Sitting up in bed, Robin couldn't believe that her uncle is getting married to Alexis Davis of all people. Add to that the fact that he fathered a child of his own because of a one night stand, that's just crazy. Since when did her Uncle Mac have one night stands? He didn't even do it right. You don't have a one night stand with someone and then fall in love with them. Its just not how its done.
She wanted to say something, but she had her own relationship to deal with that she didn't have time to deal with Mac's love life. Even though it was the strangest kind of relationship she has ever witnessed. With a sigh, Robin pulls out her diary to write in her entry for yesterday. Talk about having a lot to write about. She tried to get information out of her family about Jason, but no one knew anything. She wanted to ask Maxie, but she wasn't around and when she got back to home, she just bypassed Robin and went up to her room.
"Come in." Robin called to Brenda who was knocking on her door.
"Hey, figured you'd be up." Brenda walked in and plopped down on the bed. "You might want to brace yourself for this."
Robin hated when Brenda said that, but obliged and braced herself for whatever Brenda was about to say.
"He has a girlfriend, she's eighteen, and her name is Elizabeth Webber." Brenda said carefully, stopping her before she could speak. "That's not the part you have to brace yourself for."
"Okay."
"Lila is the one that got them together." Brenda watched as the shock filled Robin's eyes. "And apparently every one of the Quartermaines, other than Emily, support their relationship."
"She pushed her on him?" Robin couldn't believe this.
"Lila simply had Jason pick Elizabeth up for her birthday ball." Brenda shook her head. "You know, the one I asked you to come back for, but you said no?"
"Well now I wish we had." Robin sighed, running a hand down her face. "She's only eighteen though...what could Jason possibly see in a girl barely legal when he's already twenty-three?"
"From what Lila said, she had to grow up really fast. She's more mature than normal eighteen year old girls." Brenda recalled her conversation with Lila, but she withheld the parts that Lila asked her to.
"Oh please!" Robin scoffed. "No matter how mature she acts, she's still a kid. I just don't see Jason being serious about a barely legal girl. Sorry, but I just don't see it."
"Everyone I spoke to seems to think that they are serious." Brenda countered, remembering her conversation with AJ, Skye, and Sonny. "I don't know, Robin...you might have to face that he's moved on."
"I'm not going to just give up, Brenda." Robin shook her head. "Not a chance in hell."
Despite how much they wanted to stay in bed, Jason and Elizabeth pulled themselves out of bed to have breakfast. Both their stomachs grumbling, signalling that they were both hungry. As Jason cooked them something to eat, Elizabeth stood by the doors that lead to the balcony. It was really pouring down outside. She let out a deep breath when Jason's strong arms encircled her from behind.
"Hey, what do you say we take off next week?" Jason questioned, holding her close. "You don't have to start at the gallery for another couple weeks and you'll be done at Kelly's in a couple days."
"Leaving sounds so good right now." Elizabeth sighed, laying against him as they rocked slowly. "Where would we go?"
"Wherever you want." Jason said without hesitation. "I just want time with you, away from everything here."
Turning in his arms, Elizabeth smiled up at him. "Lets do it." Elizabeth slid her fingers through his hair. "I want to go to Italy."
"Italy it is." Jason leant down and kissed her soundly. "I can't wait."
"Me either." Elizabeth laid her head against his chest. "You and me in Italy...sounds perfect."
Carly walked around the penthouse, picking up the stray toys that Morgan happened to throw around early this morning. Once she was sure she got them all, she walked into the kitchen to find her husband hard at work making breakfast. Stealing a kiss from the chef, Carly plopped down onto the chair by the counter.
"I don't care what Brenda says, Robin's back for Jason." Carly said seriously. "What other reason would she have to ask about Jason's love life?"
"Baby, I wasn't born yesterday." Sonny smirked at his wife. "Which is why I made it seem as if Jason and Elizabeth are madly in love with each other."
"I would've told her to shove it, but I guess that works too." Carly shrugged, accepting the glass of juice from Sonny. "Why does Robin think that she can just fall back into Jason's life now?"
"She's the only one who can answer that." Sonny shrugged, stirring the food in the pan. "Whatever reason she has, Robin's in for a rude awakening if she thinks that Jason will leave Elizabeth for her."
"And if Jason can't knock into her head, I'll gladly give it a try." Carly smirked, loving the idea of going a few rounds with little miss perfect.
"I'm sure you would." Sonny kissed her forehead. "Now get going. Morgan will be up soon."
Brenda could see that Robin has made up her mind in regard to Elizabeth Webber. From what Brenda learnt from those she trusted most to tell her the truth, she has realized that whoever this Elizabeth Webber was, she means a lot to Jason. Enough that he danced at a party in the Quartermaine estate and gives her rides on his bike. One thing Jason never did was give rides to random people unless they meant something to him. That and he brought her into his safe haven, otherwise known as his penthouse, even going as far as to introduce her to Sonny and Carly. Yup. This girl was obviously not going anywhere any time soon.
"Just don't say I didn't warn you." Brenda gave one last remark before walking out of Robin's room.
Grabbing her coat and umbrella, Brenda decided to go to Kelly's for some of Ruby's chilli. It was always the thing to eat on days of thunderstorms. She had to admit that even with the thunderstorm brewing, Brenda was happy to be home. It may have only been two years, but she has missed Port Charles like nobody's business.
"I don't care that Robin's our cousin." Maxie spat, growing tired of her argument with Georgie. "She doesn't get to just cast Jason away and expect to get him back because she wants him."
"I know, but you can at least be nice to her." Georgie countered, both oblivious to Brenda as she walked over to an empty table, subtly listening in on them. "I mean, family's family. We can't choose them."
"Well I choose to not care one way or the other." Maxie shrugged, drinking some of her coffee. "I just hope that Elizabeth puts Robin in her place."
"Maxie!" Georgie sighed, running a hand through her hair. "Robin's our cousin. We shouldn't judge one way or the other."
"Not all of us are above reproach Georgie." Maxie definitely had her flaws, but nothing as big as what Robin has done. "Whatever. Elizabeth's not even the one I'm worried about."
"What do you mean?" Georgie eyed her sister curiously.
"I talked to Jason after they broke up." Maxie admitted, ignoring the shocked expression on Georgie's face. "There's no way in hell he's taking Robin back. Dear little Robin better watch her back if she thinks that she can do or say anything to get Jason to forgive her."
Steven was counting down the minutes until Sarah wakes up. After overhearing Sarah telling Lucky Spencer that she had forced Elizabeth's hand in telling Jason about Richard Lansing, he all but blew up at his sister. This, as juvenile as it may be, was much better than pounding sense into his sister. As the minutes ticked on by, Steven was alerted to Sarah being awake by the sound of her loud screams that vibrated through the air. A satisfied smirk touching his lips, Steven walked out of his room to make this way to the bathroom where he was sure she was.
"What's up Sarah?" Steven leant against the doorjamb. "Bad hair day?"
"You did this?" Sarah pointed to her head, her long blonde hair apparently chopped off. It looked as if someone put a bowl over her head and cut off her hair along the line of the bowl.
Which is exactly what Steven had done. Good thing that Sarah was still as heavy a sleeper as she always was.
"Who me?" Steven smirked. "Why would I do that? Unless someone happened to bring up a certain worthless piece of trash instead of heeding their brother's warning...hmm...would you do that?"
"UGH!" Sarah exclaimed, slamming the door in his face.
"That's what I thought." Steven laughed softly, walking back to his room, looking at the picture of Sarah on his phone. "So far...definitely a good day."
After sending the pictures to Elizabeth, he crawled back into bed to get more sleep in.
Her cellphone ringing had Elizabeth picking it up and laughing at the pictures that her brother sent her. A simple message at the bottom, You're welcome, Blaze.
Jason looked at her curiously before taking the phone when she held it out.
"Your brother did this?" Jason eyed her curiously before looking through the pictures. "Not bad."
"I guess he found out about her talking to you about Richard." Elizabeth shook her head. "That's my brother for you...always making sure people pay the price for what they do."
"I would have done a whole lot worse, but this is okay too." Jason gave her back her cellphone before pulling her close.
"We're still in bed, no one has come to bother us, and Sarah got paid back for opening her big fat mouth." Elizabeth snuggled into him. "Yup. Today's a good day."
Author's Note: Here's another update before I go to sleep. I don't know what time it is anywhere else in the world, but its almost three in the morning for me.
Later peoples! I'm so ready to call it a night...or day...however you look at it.
