Misery Made Beautiful - Chapter 9

After seeing Lucky again after five long years. Liz did not know where to go. After thinking about it she decided to go to the one person who understood her and stood by her in the last five years. Liz made it to Jason's penthouse. She reached into her purse and pulled out the key that Jason had given her nearly a year ago. Liz unlocked the door and walked inside. It was dark inside so Liz knew Jason must be asleep. She quietly made it up the stairs to Jason's room. Liz had spent the night here many times, but she and Jason had never been intimate. Granted they have they not been completely innocent, but it never went all the way. There was one time when Liz and Jason almost made love, but Liz pulled back at the very last second. Jason being Jason understood her reasons.

Liz walked into Jason's room to find him sound asleep. Liz walked over to the bed and sat down. She removed her coat and kicked off her shoes. Just then she started to cry. Jason awoke to the sound of her whimpering.

Jason: Liz? What's going on?

Liz: Nothing, go back to sleep.

Jason turned the light on and sat up in bed.

Jason: Look at me.

Liz slowly turned around to face Jason. Jason knew something was instantly wrong due to Liz's tear stricken face and the fact that she was shaking.

Jason: Okay something is wrong. Please just tell me what happened.

Liz: (wiping her tears away) Something did happen. Something happened tonight that I never thought possible. Jason Lucky…..is alive.

Jason leaned back on his pillow when he heard Liz say that Lucky was alive. There was a few seconds of silence before Jason spoke.

Jason: What did you say, Lucky is alive? How do you know?

Liz: I just left him on the docks. He just came out of now where. He's been back for a few days and you would think he would tell me.

Jason: Wow, what does this mean? Are you and Lucky….

Liz: Jason no, I have finally gotten on with my life….with you. I'm with you now and Lucky being back from the dead wont change that.

Jason felt a little uneasy about this, but after he considered what Liz had been through he decided to let her have the last word. Jason gathered Liz in his arms and hugged her.

Jason: I love you Liz

Liz: I…I love you to

Liz sunk down into the bed; Jason turned off the light, and spooned her from behind. Liz laid in Jason's arms trying to get Lucky out of her mind. Her mind wandered back to their kiss and how wonderful it felt to be in his arms again. Liz thought about the feel of his lips on hers and his hands on her body. She had missed that so much. Liz closed her eyes and soon there after feel asleep.
