Sam is sitting on her living room floor contemplating everything that has happened the past couple of weeks. She slowly sips her wine just thankful for the peace and quiet, a welcome change from recent events. She still can't believe that she and Jason had sex, not once but twice. "What was I thinking?" she asks herself. "It doesn't matter because it's so not happening again" she says with a conviction she's not truly sure she feels. Suddenly there is a knock on the door and Sam looks at the clock to see that is already after 10pm. "Damnit" she yells "I just wanted one night to", flings open the door and stops in her tracks.
"One night to what Sam" Jason softly says peering down at her with those steel blue eyes. "Ummmm nothing Jason it doesn't matter. It's kind of late what I can I do for you". She is stopped by the look of passion that burns in his eyes. Jason puts both hands on the back of her neck bringing in for a crushing kiss that leaves her breathless. His tongue pushes inside her mouth and dances with hers. He pushes his way inside and kicks the door shut with his boot. Finally Sam put her hands on his shoulders, careful of his wound and says the words she said not that long ago "we shouldn't do this".
"Yes we should" he says hungrily pulling her in for another kiss. "Jason, stop!" Sam says with a conviction she's not sure she really feels and backs away. Jason thinks to himself ok enough is enough. "Ok Sam but I came here to say something." "Jason it's late and I was getting ready to call it a night so we can we do this some other time. Can you lock the door on your way out" Sam says as you turns to walk away when Jason suddenly grabs her arm. "I'm not going anywhere Sam until we get a few things out in the open".
"What the hell are you afraid of Sam, what are you running from?" Jason says. "I'm not afraid of anything" Sam says with a fire in her eyes. "Except this" Jason says as he plants his lips on hers in another passionate kiss. When he finally releases her she can see things aren't going the way she wanted.
"Sam we need to talk about what happened in Mexico!"
"Ok Jason, you got shot twice by Jerry Jax, we found Michael and Kristina and brought them back home. End of discussion … Night Jason!"
"Don't you think you are forgetting something? Like the fact that we reconnected and made love twice?"
"We had sex Jason, there's a big difference"
"No Sam, we made love and you''re right there is a big difference. I love you Sam and I know you love me too, I can see it in your eyes, why are you fighting something that is so obvious?"
"You aren't going to let this go are you?"
"No"
"Ok Jason, yes I still love you and I always will. Nothing can change that but it still won't work Jason why don't you see that? Why should we take ourselves down a path of hurt and anger? Jason I watched your son get kidnapped and did nothing to stop it. Not to mention I also hired two men to scare Elizabeth and her boys so she'd stay away. Jason I know you and I know that what I did is impossible to forgive or forget so I don't see where there is any possibility for a future for us so why don't we stick to what we're good at …. Being friends?"
"Sam I'll admit that it still angers me about what went down with Jake but a good part of that is my fault. I lied to you for months, the woman I love all because of Elizabeth"
"Of course you did Jason, you loved Elizabeth, maybe you still do"
"No Sam I was never in love with Elizabeth but rather the idea of a family. You know better than anyone how much I wanted a family but the problem was the family I want wasn't with Elizabeth, it was with you Sam"
