If I'm not in love with you
What is this I'm going through tonight
And if this heart is lying then
What should I believe in
Why do I go crazy
Every time I think about you baby
Why else to I want you like I do
If I'm not in love with you

Carly sat hunched over the dining room table. She was still wearing her
pajamas, white cotton pants and a black tank top. Her hair was loose. She
had spent nearly a week working and going to school. It proved to be tiring,
yet Carly felt proud of herself.

She had no classes today and wasn't due at Kelly's for a couple of hours.
She had spent the morning playing with Michael and was now doing some
school work. She had never realized how much there was to learn about
fashion designing, but she was determined to know it all.

Jason slowly walked down the stairs. He stopped at midpoint and watched
Carly. She was leaning over the table working. He saw her kind move her
back around like it was hurting her. He walked down the remainder of the
stairs and headed towards her.

When he was right next to her he reached out and kinda ruffled her hair.
''Working hard?''

She looked up at him and smiled. ''Yeah, I never realized how much there
was to learn.''

He sat in a chair near her. ''You'll do it.''

''Yeah, I will.'' She said with a small grin and winked at him.

He slightly laughed and than grew serious. She had gone back to work. ''So,
is everything OK? Because Carly, if it's too much, you can quit Kelly's....''
But when she looked up with him with that glare, he knew her answer. He
rubbed his eyes. ''Yeah, forget it. I knew you'd say no.''

''Yeah, I like being independent.''

''Good, Carly. That's good.'' Jason said slowly. ''So working at Kelly's is
good?''

''Yeah, it's kinda nice having a job.'' She looked thoughtful as she said. ''You
know Elizabeth Webber?''

''Slightly.''

''Well, she works there. She's nice.'' She grew quiet.

''So you're working tonight?''

''Yeah, I'll probably be home around 10? 10:30?''

Jason looked thoughtful and Carly went back to work. He looked as though
he was going to say something, but a knock on the door interrupted him.
''Yeah?''

''Ms. Spencer to see Carly.'' Johnny's voice rang out.

Carly's face shot upward in surprise. Jason watched her quickly fumble with
her hair and tossed her an encouraging smile as he called out. ''Come in.''

Bobbie walked in with a smile. ''Hi Carly. Jason.''

''Hi Bobbie.'' Jason said politely

Carly put on a smile and said. ''Bobbie, hey!''

There was an awkward silence, which Jason broken as he cleared his throat
and said. ''Uh, I gotta go. I have some business to take care of.'' He stood
up and than glanced at Bobbie and back to Carly. 'We're married. We're in
love.' He reminded himself.

Her head was slightly bent back as she peered at him. It was always a
mystery to her as how Jason would act. She bit her bottom lip as he lowered
his head toward her, but she let out a breath of relief when his lips cautiously
touched her forehead.

''Bye,'' And with that he was gone.

Bobbie watched with her eyebrows raised in amusement at Jason's haste
departure. When the door shut behind him she let out a laugh. ''Carly, You
two don't need to be shy in front of me!''

Carly's face flushed with embarrassment as she stood up and walked past
her. ''We're not shy.''

''Yes, you are.'' Bobbie said in a teasing tone and walked up behind Carly.
''You two are always so cautious with one another! Like that kiss! God
Carly! Luke has given me more passionate kisses!''

Carly turned towards her mother with her hands on her hips and made a
sarcastic face. ''That's a beautiful image!''

''Carly!'' Bobbie said in an exasperated tone. ''I'm not attacking you, I just
don't understand. You and Jason were more physical when there was
nothing going on between you two.''

''Please Bobbie, just drop it, OK?'' Carly said as she moved past her mother
and approached the window. She slowly continued. ''Me and Jase, we're
complicated, you know? It's not just black and white. Hell, it's not even just
gray! It's about a billion different shades of gray!''

''Carly, I understand that relationships get complicated.'' Bobbie said softly
as she approached Carly from behind. ''But love never does. Love is the
simple part. Don't get upset if this marriage is hard, as long as you and Jase
love...''

''Oh, wow!'' Carly interrupted her mother in a loud voice and turned towards
her. ''I need to start getting ready for work.''

Bobbie slightly smiled at Carly's obvious avoidance of the topic. ''How about
I come with you? I'd love to see my daughter in action.''

At the sound of the word daughter Carly's face brightened and she said.
''Just give me 20 min. to get dressed.''

''OK, I'll play with my grandson in the meantime.''

And if I don't need your touch
Why do I miss you so much tonight
If it's just infatuation
Then why is my heart achin'
To hold you forever
Give a part of me I thought I'd never
Give again to someone I could lose
If I'm not in love with you

''You look a lot better than you did when you first came home Carly.''
Bobbie observed aloud from the counter where she sipped her coffee. Carly,
on the other side of the counter was fussing with the coffee machine. She
looked up startled as Bobbie continued. ''You're not so skinny. I was
worried about you, but you look healthier now, not that it would hurt to gain
a few more pounds.......'' she let her voice trail off with a teasing glance
toward Carly.

Carly laughed and responded. ''Well, you can only thank Jason. He's been
watching my eating habits like a hawk.''

''Well, I'm glad someone is watching out for you.'' Bobbie said sincerely.

''Yeah, well I'm perfectly capable of taking care of myself.'' Carly said
seriously.

''She certainly is.'' Ruby's voice rang out from behind them.

''Why, hello Ruby.'' Bobbie said.

''Hello Barbara.'' Ruby said. ''Are you distracting my employee?''

''I'm doing my best.'' Bobbie said with a huge grin.

''Oh, exuse me, duty calls.'' Carly said as she rushed off to get a customers
order.

While she was off, Laura walked in with Lulu. When she saw Ruby she
walked over to the counter. ''Hi Ruby.'' She looked at Bobbie and her smile
tensed. ''Bobbie.''

''Laura.'' Bobbie said just as icely, than her face softened. ''Hi Lulu.''

''Hi!'' Lulu said as Laura lifted her onto a stool.

''Luke's parking the car.'' Laura informed them

''OH no!'' Carly groaned from behind. ''Luke?? WHY?''

''Nice to see you too.'' Laura said to Carly with a smile.

''Hi Laura.'' Carly said with a smile. ''Hey Lulu.'' Carly said as she bent down
to greet her cousin.

Suddenly she felt an arm drape over her shoulder. ''My, my. What is this a
meeting of the Spencer Woman?'' Luke said lazily

''I am not a Spencer woman!'' Carly said stubbornly and tried to get out of
his grip, but Luke held on tight.

He leaned in and gave her a kiss on the cheek. ''Sweet Caroline, don't you
realize that it doesn't matter who you marry, you'll always be a Spencer?''

''EWW!!! Get off of me Luke!''

Laughing Luke finally let her go and said. ''Is than any way to greet your
favorite Uncle?''

''No, torture devices is more appropriate, but unfortunately, I left mine in my
dungeon!''

''You two are too much!'' Bobbie said laughing.

Luke went over to miss Bobbie and Ruby's cheeks and than picked Lulu up,
sat down and put her in his lap.

Carly walked behind the counter & began preparing drinks for customers.
''Aww, look at my little niece! Working, just like a pro!'' Luke bantered.

Carly looked up to roll her eyes, but a figure in the doorway caught her
attention. ''Jason.'' The word came out as barley a whisper. After the initial
shock, a huge smile came across her face and her eyes lit up. All thoughts of
Luke and his comment vanished as she made her way over to Jason.

''Jase what are you doing here?'' she asked when she stood in front of him.

''I came to see my wife at work! Is that so odd?'' he asked with a sexy grin

Carly's smile deepened and the twinkle in her eyes brightened as she replied.
''No, I'm just surprised!''

After a few seconds of just staring into one another's eyes Jason said, ''So,
do I get a table?''

''Yeah! Oh yeah! Sorry!'' Carly rambled as she led Jason to a table. ''Um, I'll
be right back with you menu, k?''

''All right.'' Jason said with a smile and Carly walked over to the counter and
grabbed a menu and rushed back to Jason.''Here, you want something to
drink?''

''Yeah, you have beer?''

''Yeah, sure! Just give me a sec!''

Carly walked back behind the counter and began to get the drinks for the
other customers and Jason's beer.

She was rushing around and Luke, Bobbie, Ruby and Laura all exchanged
amused glances. ''Carly, what's Jason doing here?'' Bobbie asked

''Wha.?'' Carly's head flew up to look at Bobbie. ''Huh, oh, um, He just
wanted to um, come by....'' Carly was barley paying attention to what she
was saying as she fumbled with all the drinks and had the on the trey when
she looked at Bobbie and said in a panicked voice. ''Does my hair look
OK?''

Bobbie slightly laughed as she responded. ''Your hair is fine, Carly.''

''What about this apron?'' Carly asked panicky. She turned towards Laura.
''It makes me look fat, right? I look fat.''

''Carly!'' Laura said in an exasperated voice. ''You look fine! God, do you
get this nervous everytime you see Jason?''

''Yes, she does!'' Bobbie replied.

''I do not!'' Carly replied stubbornly. ''I am not nervous!''

With that she picked up the tray and headed off.

Oh why in every fantasy
Do I feel your arms embracing me
Like lovers lost in sweet desire
And why in dreams do I surrender
Like a little baby
How do I explain this feeling
Someone tell me

''Where are your bodyguards?'' Luke asked as he sat in the chair across
from Jason.

''Outside.'' Jason replied distractedly as he sipped his beer, he was waiting
for his food and hadn't taken his eyes off Carly all night.

Luke followed his gaze to Carly who was taking orders from a large group
of College guys. He let out a short laugh. ''I never pictured you for the
jealous husband.''

Jason briefly turned his gaze to Luke before returning it back to Carly. ''I'm
not jealous.'' He replied still watching her. ''I just want to make sure she's
OK.''

''You don't need to worry about that one!'' Luke said with a grin. ''She's
100% Spencer. Very strong.''

Jason looked back at Luke and thought back to Carly in Puerto Rico
''Everyone has their weak moments.''

''True.'' Luke laughed again as he said. ''You two are hysterical together, you
know that?''

''What do you mean?'' Jason asked confused.

''Well, I gotta say, when I first heard that you two were getting married, I
automatically assumed that it was a scam, to keep Michael, but now.....''

''Now what?'' Jason asked curiously

''Well, god! It's so obvious that you two are crazy for each other! Did you
see Carly's face when you first walked in?'' He let out a laugh as he the
image replayed in his mind. ''She was positively beaming! And than she was
asking if her apron made her look fat!''

Jason let out a laugh and asked. ''She asked that? Really?''

''Yeah! And you're no better!''

''What do you mean?'' Jason asked bewildered.

''Coming in here to watch your wife in action! You haven't taken your eyes
off her since you walked through the door!'' Luke tilted his head back and
laughed. ''It's hilarious!''

Jason was absorbing everything he had said when Carly came over with his
food. ''Here ya go Jase, one burger and fries.''

''Thanks Carly.''

Carly smiled in return and just as she was walking away, Jason asked. ''Have
you eaten?''

Carly groaned. ''God Jase, please don't start that again!'' When Jason just
gave her a look she responded. ''I'll eat later, dad!''

Jason turned his attention to his food, and just as he was bringing his burger
to his mouth he looked up to see Luke staring at him and shaking his head
with an amused grin. ''What?''

''You two are really perfect for each other, you know that?''

Jason held is gaze for a moment looking thoughtful, then turned his attention
to his food. Luke leaned back in the chair and looked at Bobbie who was
watching them. 'You Owe Me.'' He mouthed.

If I'm not in love with you
What is this I'm going through tonight
And if this heart is lying then
What should I believe in
Why do I go crazy
Every time I think about you baby
Why else do I want you like I do
If I'm not in love with
If I'm not in love with
If I'm not in love with you

* ''If I'm Not In Love With You'' by Kathy Troccoli

Till Death Do Us Part - Chapter 19: I Could Love You Like That

They read you Cinderella, you hoped it would come true,
And one day a Prince Charming would come rescue you,
You like romantic movies, and you never will forget,
The way you felt when Romeo kissed Juliet.

Carly stifled a yawn. This guy was so boring. Carly couldn't believe that
anyone could make clothes designing boring, but he could. Oh, well at least it
kept her mind off the other major thing going on in her life. A.J.

Two blissful weeks had gone by and it was time for Michael to spend his first
weekend with his father! Ugh! Carly was not looking forward to taking
Michael to AJ's. It wasn't going to be pretty, but she had to get use to it.

"That's all for today, class."

Thank god. It was over. She began to rise and put her books in her bag.

"Excuse me?"

Carly turned around only to find a god behind her. He was at least 6'2, had
piercing blue eyes, dirty blond hair and oh god what a body!

"Yes?" Carly asked

The guy who was around 25 years old, stuck out his hand and flashed her a
brilliant smile. "Hi, I'm Ken."

Carly smiled back and reached out to shake his hand. "Hi, I'm Carly."

"Hi, Carly, I've noticed you here before and just knew I'd never forgive
myself if I didn't come say hi...." Carly's smile deepened and he continued.
"and ask you out, for a cup of coffee?"

"Oh!" Carly said surprised. 'Tell him.' She scolder herself. 'Tell him you're
married.'

"I don't know, I'm not really dating at the moment." She felt herself
involuntarily hiding her wedding finger.

"Oh," Ken's face dropped. "I was just really hoping.....I mean, you're so
beautiful and well you seem really smart from the answers you give in class, I
guess I'm just not that lucky, huh?"

His words caused her to blush. "Thank you, I mean it, and......" 'AND?' her
mind scolded her. 'shut up!'.

"If I begin to date, you'll be number one on my list."

"I hope so." He said as he reached for her hand and gently kissed it. "I'll be
waiting."

And all this time that you've been waiting,
You don't have to wait no more,
I can love you like that, I would make you my world,
Move heaven and earth, If you were my girl,
I would give you my heart, be all that you need,
Show you you’re everything that’s precious to me,
If you give me a chance, I can love you like that,
(I can love you like that, I can love you like that)

‘Just knock!' Carly commanded herself.

"Momma?" Michael's tiny voice rung out. Carly looked down at her tiny son.
"Yeah, OK now you remember what me and daddy told you?"

"Yes, I know mommy." Michael's little voice replied.

"OK, here goes nothing." She said and finally knocked on the door. After a
minute or two Reginald came to the door. "My, my. If it isn't Mrs. Morgan."

Carly raised her chin proudly. "Is AJ here?"

"Of course!" Reginald responded. "He's waiting for his son, follow me."

As Carly began to follow him she tightened her grip on Michael's hand.
"Come on, honey." She whispered to him.

"Mrs. Morgan and Michael are here." Reginald announced to the packed
livingroom. Carly stifled a groan when she saw that all the Quatermaines
were there.

"There's my grandson!" Edward's voice boomed. He started for Michael, but
Lila held him back and nodded toward AJ. AJ slowly made his way to
Michael. He knelt in front of him and whispered. "Hey, Michael."

"Hi." Michael whispered

"Come on in and meet the family." AJ said.

Michael looked up at Carly. "Mommy?" Carly knelt next to Michael and
held his little hands. "Baby, it's OK. I'm gonna go now. You have a great
time this weekend, and I promise you that Sunday night me and daddy will
be here to pick you up. Alright?"

"Yes mommy."

"Oh, I love you angel." Carly said as she enveloped her tiny son in a big hug.
"I'll see you soon, OK, baby?"

"K, mommy, I love you." Carly smiled at her son and than looked around at
all the Quatermaines. Taking a deep breath, she finally managed to leave the
living room. She was nearly at the door when she felt a strong hand seize her
forearm and spun her around.

"AJ! What the hell do you think you're doing?" Carly hissed at him.

"I just wanted to remind you that I do not forgive you or Jason for keeping
me from my son for nearly two years of his life!"

"I'm sorry AJ, there's nothing more I can say."

"Oh yes, you're so sorry! You didn't even tell me, Robin did!" seeing the
uncomfortable look that appeared on her face when Robin was mentioned,
AJ smiled. "Yes, that's right, you remember Robin. Jason's true love?"

"Shut up AJ!" Carly screamed while she twisted out of AJ's grip. "You have
no idea what you're talking about!"

"Oh, don't I?" AJ seized. "I know your marriage is nothing short of a joke!
The only reason Jason married you was for Michael, not because he loved
you! How could he? His heart belongs to Robin!"

"SHUT UP!"

"Oh, what? Hit a SORE spot? Yes, Carly, the truth is a sore spot with you,
isn't it?" "You have no idea what you're talking about AJ. Why you're
wasting your time with your son arguing with me, is beyond me!"

"That's just it Carly, my time! I get a time limit with my son!"

"AJ, you're pathetic, if you'll excuse me!" She tried to get past him, but he
blocked her. An angry look came over her face as she looked at him.

"What's pathetic Carly is your marriage! Did Jason honestly pretend to love
you? Did he tell you there was no one else? Huh? Let me tell you something,
Robin will always dominate his heart and thoughts!! All you are is a way for
him to be near Michael, and maybe 15 minutes of pleasure in the sac!"

Carly's eyes widened with shock, anger and hurt, but it only egged AJ on.
"That's right Carly. That's all your good for, SEX and Michael, and that's
ALL you are to Jason!" Carly's face crumpled as she rushed out of the
mansion.

I never make a promise, I don’t intend to keep,
So when I say forever, forever’s what I mean,
Well I’m no Casanova, but I swear this much is true,
I’ll be holding nothing back when it comes to you,
You dream of love that’s everlasting,
Well baby open up your eyes,

Jason sat in the back of the limo and gently rubbed his temples. His head
was pounding. It had been a long horrible day and Jason just wanted to get
home. There was trouble with the organization. Rumors were that Moreno
had a great plan on taking Jason down. The problem was, Jason didn't know
what it was, and that scared him. More than anything that scared him. Than
there was the fact that all Jason wanted to do was go home and play with
Michael. But he couldn't do that. No, because Michael was with AJ, his
father.

The words were like a sharp piece of glass slicing through his heart. It
seemed like every time he heard that expression he took another shot of
tequila. He had never appreciated the well stocked limo so much. He had
never gotten drunk before. Yeah, he drunk beers and once in a while
something with a little more jazz, but he never had gotten so out of control.
Not that he was drunk. He was still quite sober, just not VERY sober.

But that was OK, he had no one to watch over, since his son was with his
father. As he took another sip of tequila, he thought of Carly. He needed to
watch over her. If he was taking the news badly, than he couldn't imagine
how bad she was right now. He needed to look after her. Than suddenly his
cell phone rang. He got it out of his coat and brought it to his ears. "Morgan."
He said tiredly.

"Hey, Boss." Pete's voice responded.

Jason sat up straighter and became alert when he heard Pete's voice. He was
Carly's guard. "Is Carly alright?"

"Yeah, yeah she's um, well, what do you mean by fine?" Pete's voice said
slowly.

"Oh, no. Where is she?"

"Jake's."

I can love you like that, I would make you my world,
Move heaven and earth, if you were my girl,
I would give you my heart, be all that you need,
Show you you're everything that’s precious to me,
If you give me a chance, I can love you like that,
(I can love you like that, I can love you like that)

Jason walked in to Jake's and was surprised to find it deserted except for
Carly and Pete. He watched her sit there. She was wearing tight blue jeans,
an off the shoulder tight red top and black cowgirl boots. She looked casual,
yet stunning with her blond slightly wavy tresses framing her face. She was
sitting at the bar with Pete next to her. They were the only two there. Jason
noticed a nearly empty bottle of vodka and a half filled glass in front of her.
He looked around wondering where the bartender was.

Pete noticed Jason first. He slid off his stool and quickly approached Jason.
Carly was too absorbed in her drink to notice the movement around her.
Pete reached Jason in the doorway. "I'm sorry. I tried to get her to stop but
she wouldn't listen to me."

Jason shut his eyes and shook his head tiredly. "Forget it. I know how she
gets."

He opened his eyes and looked around. He gestured with his head toward
the empty bar. "Where is everyone?"

"I figured Carly didn't need an audience so I paid the owner to clear the
place out." He replied and than stopped thoughtfully. "I hope that's what you
wanted."

"Yeah, it was a good move. How long has she been here?"

"We were driving around for a while and we've been here for like 45 min."

Jason nodded a little more relaxed. At least she hadn't been drinking for too
long. Pete noticed his expression and reluctantly added. "I think she was
drinking in the back of the limo."

Jason inwardly groaned but realized that he couldn't lecture her on drinking
because he had just been doing that in the back of his limo. "Thanks, do me
a favor and wait outside? I want to get her out of here as soon as possible,
but with Carly......"

"Yeah, sure no problem boss."

"Oh, Pete?" Jason called out as Pete began to leave, he waited until Pete
turned to face him and than continued. "What got Carly so upset?" Pete
hesitated before responding. "The Quatermaines."

Jason's jaw tightened and his blue eyes turned to ice. He gave a brief nod
towards Pete which sent Pete on his way. Once he was gone Jason took a
deep breath and headed towards Carly. He sat in the stool beside her that
Pete had previously occupied. To his amusement, Carly didn't even notice
him. She just kept drinking. When she finished her glass she reached for the
bottle to refill it. Just as her hand touched the bottle a strong hand grasped
her wrist. "Haven't you had enough?"

Carly's face flew up to look at him. "Jason?" she asked confused. "How..?
OH! Pete called you right?"

"Does it matter?" Jason asked tiredly

"No." she replied sullenly. "It doesn't."

They sat in silence for a few minutes until Carly finally asked quietly. "Do I
get a lecture?"

"I thought I was your husband not your father." Jason replied dryly.

"Many men get the two confused." Carly replied just as dryly.There was
another long silence until Carly let out a short laugh. "Pete emptied the
place!"

Jason let a small smile past his lips. "I know. I paid for it.""Oh!" Carly said
startled. "I'll pay you back, Maybe not right away because it...."

"Carly!" Jason interrupted her. "I can afford it."

"Yeah. you can......" Carly slowly agreed and than added. "But you shouldn't
have to."

"Don't worry about it." Jason said in an emotionless voice. When once again
the silence enveloped them, Carly looked toward the vodka bottle. When
finally the temptation was too much she began to reach for it and asked.
"Want some?"

"Why are you drinking?"

Jason's question caused her hand to stop in the air, a few inches from the
bottle. When he saw her reaction he continued. "Which Quatermaine did it to
you?"

Her head quickly turned to face him, her eyes wide with shock. "How'd you
know?"

"Does it matter?" Jason replied for the second time that night and once again
Carly responded "No."

"Wanna talk about it?" Jason asked softly.

"I'd rather toast to it." She responded bitterly and she once again reached for
the bottle, finally making contact, she poured herself the drink, before she set
the bottle down she turned towards Jason. "Want some?"

"Nah, I already had too much." He said as he slightly shook his head.

"When?" Carly asked confused.

"In the limo."

"Why?" she asked very softly.

"Long day." Was Jason's reply and he turned to her. "Your turn."

"AJ." she replied scornfully and gulped the remainder of her drink down.

"What'd he do?" his voice was tight.

"Nothing."she replied distantly and stood up and walked behind the bar, her
back towards Jason.

"Nothing?" Jason asked her.

"Nothing but the truth." She whispered and turned around reaching for the
bottle. She didn't bother with a glass as she brought the glass to her lips.

"Drinking helps?" He asked her.

"I though you said no lectures." She mumbled and than quickly turned to face
him. "Why are you here Jason?"

"For you." He said evenly.

Carly let out a derisive laugh. "HELLO!!!!! No one's here Jason. We can
stop the act!

OK? You can stop pretending you care!!!" she screamed.

"Carly," Jason said softly as he stood. "I do care."

Carly bit her bottom lip and shook her head as she looked upward trying to
avoid the tears that she knew were inevitable. She walked out from behind
the bar and walked over to a table. She grasped the back of a chair and
looked around. Finally she said. "Remember when we use to have sex here?"

"Yeah......" Jason responded slowly, wondering where she was going with
this.

"Sometimes I use to pretend I was her. I was Robin." she let out an ironic
laugh and turned to him. "Imagine that Jason! Me being Robin! And you
know what? I loved it!!! It would feel so great being in your arms and
pretending I was number one! Pretending I was special and admired, and
important!" She spat out each adjective like they were venom, she shut her
eyes and softly continued her monologue.

"It was so wonderful! I loved every second of it, and maybe that's why I
clung to you, because with you I could pretend I was number one. That I
occupied your heart." Taking a deep breath she opened her tear filled eyes.

"But it never lasted. Jase, you can be the greatest liar in the world, and you
can fool yourself, but sooner or later you realize that it's not real. And
suddenly you feel so lost and confused, because everything you believed in is
gone! The world you created for yourself has vanished and you're just alone
in this big scary uncaring world" She threw her head back in an attempt to
keep the pools of tears in her eyes, but she failed. She turned away as she
felt little rivers of tearsmake their way down her face.

Jason came up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. He was
taken back by her outburst. "I'm sorry Carly, I had no idea......"

Carly whirled around. "Make love to me." Carly pleaded with him.

"What?" Jason took a step back, shocked by her outburst. "Carly......."

"Please Jason. For once in your life make love to ME! All of me. Not just
my body. For just one moment in time make me first."

"Carly, you've had a lot to drink."

"Yeah, well maybe I can only be honest when I'm drunk, Jase. Please Jason"
she grabbed on to his shirt and pulled her tiny body against his strong chest.

"God, Jase. Just love me. That's all I ever wanted. Love me, in every way
there is to be loved. Just for this moment in time, please...." she stopped as
she leaned up on her toesand pulled her mouth against Jason's lips. It was a
deep, desperate kissed. With her mouth still against his she whispered. "Love
me." The alcohol Jason had consumed in the limo began to take it's effects.
That combined with the smell of her perfum that clogged his head and the
feel of her soft womanly body against him was too much for him. He
scopped Carly into his arms, never breaking the lip lock and carried her up
the stairs towards his old room. He was relieved to find it unlocked. There
were no lights, the room was only lit by the moonlight coming from the
window. He carried Carly toward the mattress, which was bare. He gently
placed her down, and finally pulled away from her.

"Carly, are you sure?"

She brought her big round eyes to his and slowly nodded and leaned back
untill she was lying on the bed. Jason crouched above her. His lips crashed
against hers while his hands rubbed against her body, refamilarizing them.
Carly had her hands in Jasons jacket, puling him closer and closer, molding
their bodies together.

"I love you." Carly whispered. But her voice was so low and Jason was so
occupied in loving her that he thought she asked him to love her again, and
Jason did. That night Jason loved Carly.

If you want tenderness, I got tenderness,
And I see through to the heart of you.
If you want a man, Who can understand,
You don’t have to look very far,
I can love you,
I can love you love you,

I can love you like that, I would make you my world,
Move heaven and earth, if you were my girl,
I would give you my heart, Be all that you need,
Show you you’re everything that’s precious to me,
