The Assignment 16,17,18
Chapter 16
When Megan came down stairs only to find Elizabeth cleaning up from the party. Rolling up her sleeves, Megan started picking up cups, plates, and wrapping paper that was discarded from Elizabeth presents. Separating from each other to finish the house sooner, Megan took the kitchen, and Elizabeth toke the living room. Two hours Elizabeth was finished with her part of the house. She flipped down on the couch only going to rest her eyes. Megan finished the kitchen felling exhausted, between her family, and the party she was whipped out.
She turned off the kitchen lights, and walked into the living room only to find Elizabeth sound asleep on the couch. Finding blankets on the chair, she covered Elizabeth up with the one, and then turned off the lights, and fell asleep on the floor, right beside Elizabeth.
At six o’clock Jason was a wake, and dressed. He bound the steps on a mission. He found Elizabeth and Megan asleep on the couch, and the floor. Picking up Elizabeth first, and taking the stairs two at a time, he place Elizabeth on her bed, and kissed her forehead. Climbing down the steps once again he picked up Megan and placed her in bed, next to Ethan. Going down the stairs, for the third time, Jason headed into the kitchen to start breakfast.
Two hours later, Anastasia was dressed, and feed, and Megan and Ethan were escorting her out the door. Elizabeth was still up stairs sleeping, when the door bell rang. Rushing to the door, trying to quiet the sound as not to wake her up, he opened the door only to find her parents on the other end of it.
“What are you doing here, and where are our daughters?” Her mother asked.
“Megan and Ethan toke Anastasia to daycare and Elizabeth is upstairs sleeping. I’m Jason and I intend to marry you daughter.” Jason said.
Her parents walked into the room, and Jason shut the door. He escorted them to the kitchen where they helped themselves to the breakfast that he made her. Hearing the commotion down stairs, she toke the steps two at a time, not worrying that what she was wearing or how her hair looked, she entered the kitchen with caution.
Three pairs of eyes starred at her, she finally realized that her hair was a mess, and she was wearing the clothes that she wore last night. Thinking about running upstairs, she declined at sat on Jason lap, making small movements with her bottom on his groin. She wanted her parents to think it was because they loved each other, and not because of an assignment, that she had to complete.
“It’s nice to see that you all are having a civil conversation. Jase where is Anastasia?” She asked.
“Your sister and Ethan toke her to daycare or some thing.” Jason said, standing up and placing Elizabeth on the chair next to him, and grabbing a plate from the cuppert, and placing fresh fruit that Johnny had delivered this morning on it.
“So what are your plans when you are married? I mean what do you want out of this marriage?” Her parents asked.
“We want a happy marriage, based on the love that we have for each other.” Jason said.
Boy, he knew what to say to make her parents fall in love with him. she didn’t know what to say. She really didn’t understand why he had even agreed to marry her.
“Where are you two going to live?” Her mother asked.
“Were going to live at his penthouse at the Port Charles Hotel, on the top floor.” Elizabeth said.
“How can you afford to live on the top floor at the Port Charles Hotel? What do you do for a living Jason?” Her father asked.
“I am a owner of the local coffee warehouse.” Jason said.
How would her parents feel about if they knew about Jason working with the mob.
“That must bring in a big slum of money, if you can afford that.” Her father said.
“Mother, father, stop asking him questions about his money. It’s none of your business where or how he makes it.” Elizabeth said.
“I’m just concerned of how he can afford to take care of my little girl, and my grandchildren.” Her father said.
“GRANDCHILDREN? Who said anything about grandchildren? First we want to be married for a couple of years, before there is even the mention of children. So you can forget that. And as you might not already know Jason can afford to buy any thing that he and I might want or need. So you don’t need to worry about it.” Elizabeth said.
Finishing up the last piece of fruit, Elizabeth washed her dish, and put it in the dishwasher.
“Please excuse me, I’m going to go get ready, I have some painting at the Pent House to do.” Elizabeth said, as she walked her parents to the door.
“Will you please join us for dinner tonight?” Her mother asked.
“We would love to, but we have plans, seeing that the wedding is tomorrow afternoon. You are welcome to join us back here at 1:00 o’clock, tomorrow for the wedding.” Jason said.
Boy was he good on his feet. I love the idea that he told my parents that we were busy tonight, but he was going to have to pay for telling them to come to the wedding. But she would have to deal with him later. After her parents left the house, she went upstairs, and put on a red shirt, and stained overalls. Coming down the stairs, she noticed that Jason was sitting on the couch waiting for her to come down.
“Are you ready to go?” He asked.
“Yeah, I just have to stop and pick up some paint at my studio, and feed my cat.” Elizabeth said.
“Ok, let’s go.” Jason said escorting her to the door.
Chapter 17
On the way to the Pent House they had stopped at her studio to feed Faith; Elizabeth cat, and picked up paint for the two bedrooms that she figured that she would get done today.
Arriving at the Pent House, Jason helped carry in 4 gallons of paint while Elizabeth carried her set of paints. Knowing that she was looking forward to painting today, he had Johnny set up some paint tarps on the floors of both rooms. Escorting her up to what would be Michael’s room her sets the paint down and turns to leave.
“Have fun, I’ll be back after I’m done with my meeting.” Jason said, leaving.
Elizabeth set to work, keeping in mind that Michael is a fun loving five years old. Starting of with the base coat being a grayish blue, and then flowing from there. She remembered that Jason said that he bought a bunk-bed for this room, and that it basically looked like it had been chopped down from a tree earlier that morning, so Elizabeth went with a jungle theme.
Running down the stairs she opened the door to reveal Max standing there.
“Max, would you mind running down to the local toy store, and big up some jungle animals, like gorillas, monkeys, or snakes, whatever you would think looks best.” Elizabeth said, handing him money.
Walking back into the Pent House she was happy to realize that this was something that she was going to pay for, and not Jason. Running up stairs to finish her leaves as a border to the room, and to the painted trees in the room. She was so caught up in her work, that she didn’t even notice Jason coming up the stairs, and entering the room.
“This looks awesome, Michael’s going to love it, do you want some help?” Jason asked.
“Yeah you want to take this pale pink and paint Anastasia room that color?” Elizabeth asked.
“Sure.” Jason said, picking up the pale pink paint.
Hours later Elizabeth finished Michael’s room, and went to check on Jason and painting Anastasia’s room. Seeing that all of the walls were covered she sent Jason out to pick up a bedspread that was multicolored, and she started painting.
“Elizabeth!” Max called, “Do you know how many stores I had to go too, to find those stuffed animals?”
Reaching for the five bags that were in his hand, “You, know you didn’t have to buy out the whole store.” She said.
Jason walked in the door with twice as many bags as Max.
“What’s with you guys, trying to buy out the stores?” She asked.
“To tell you the truth, I saw this bedspread, with a carousel on it, and though that it would look perfect in the room, and then I found an actual carousel horse, which she could sit on, like she would be actually ridding on it. Johnny’s bringing it up from the car.” Jason said.
Johnny showed up minutes later with the carousel in his hands.
“That’s so cute, I love it, she’ll love it.” As Elizabeth hugged Max, Johnny, and Jason for all they were doing.
“Do you guys mind setting up Michael’s bed, and his chest of drawers, while I finish painting Anastasia’s room?”
“Sure, no problem.” They all said as once.
Three hours later, Michael’s room was done with all the furniture and the men were setting up Anastasia’s bedroom set, while Elizabeth was adding the stuffed animals. Finishing up Anastasia’s room with little items, she retired down stairs on the couch while Jason was across the hall tending to business.
Jason walked in the room, only to find that Elizabeth had fell asleep on the sofa. Her carried her up to his bed, and called her sister. He thought that he would stay at Sonny’s, because it is bad luck for the groom to see the bride on their wedding day.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
The Next Day
Elizabeth woke earlier that day, not knowing where she was. Look over at the night stand, the clock said 7am. She jumped out of bed, realizing that she fell asleep on Jason’s couch last night, and he must have carried her upstairs to his bedroom. Running down the stairs, and crabbing her shoes she had to get ready for the wedding, in was in a couple of hours.
Arriving at her house she noticed that both her parents were there, and all her brothers and sisters, and there significant others. Emily was also there.
Megan pulled Elizabeth upstairs, to start her makeup, and hair. Dressing Anastasia was a struggle, but not more than dressing Elizabeth.
“You know your worse to dress then your niece.” Megan said.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
“Do you have the ring?” Jason asked Sonny.
“Yeah, just relax, I have everything. You ready to go?” Sonny asked Jason, Carly, and Michael.
“Yes, let’s go.” Carly said.
All four pilled into the limo.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
“You look beautiful.” Her mother said.
“Thank you. Is the groom here?” Elizabeth asked.
“Yes, he’s down stairs, in front of the gazebo, waiting for you.” Emily said.
“Ok, I’m ready if Johnny is ready to give me away?” Elizabeth asked.
“Yeah, you ready.” He asked.
She nodded and walked down the steps. She entered the garden, with Johnny on her left side, escorting her down the isle towards Jason.
Elizabeth was to nerves to remember anything that she said, but was shocked when the time came to slip the ring on her finger, the wedding band was gorgeous. It had one center diamond and two smaller diamonds on it. It took her breath away. Before she knew it, Jason’s lips were on hers, and they were having their first married couple kiss, and maybe their only kiss.
Elizabeth lost track of time, the lips on hers, were so good, she thought for only a second that she never wanted him to take his lips off of her. The clapping that she heard behind her broke her concentration on kissing. Looking around, she saw Lila, Monica, Emily, Megan, Anastasia, Michael, Carly, Sonny, Johnny, Max, Francis, clapping like there was no tomorrow.
Chapter 18
They were finally married; Jason escorted the new Mrs. Morgan down the isle, and towards the house for the reception.
Endless hours passed, and the greeting of their family, and the traditional eating of the cake, and the tossing of the flowers, and the garter took place, but seemed like a blur to the newly wed couple. Walking up the steps to change into jeans, and a button down sweater set, Elizabeth felt an unsettling feeling in her stomach that they were finally going to be alone. Grabbing her 3 suitcases, with all her clothes and notebook that she had to fill out for this project.
Grabbing her hand, and one of her suitcases, he escorted to his SUV, which had the painting of the words, “Just Married” on it. Opening the door for her, and taking the rest of her luggage, and placing it into the back seat.
“I’ll grab Mrs. Morgan’s rest of her belongings while you on your honeymoon.” Francis said to the newly weds, after Jason was sitting in the drivers seat.
“Our honeymoon?” Elizabeth asked. “I thought that we were just going back to the pent house.”
“Sorry honey, but since we are official married, I thought that we would go away, and in the bride magazine that you left at the warehouse you marked the spot of the tropical cruise.” Jason said.
“That doesn’t mean that I wanted to go, I just thought it was a pretty picture that I would paint.” Elizabeth said.
“You’ll have plenty of time to paint it, from our balcony on the cruise.” He said.
“But I didn’t back anything for the cruise,” she said.
“Don’t worry about it, your sister Megan backed your bag.” Francis said, handing it to Jason.
“Thank you Francis.” Jason said.
“Francis, can you tell my sister that I will call her later.” Elizabeth asked.
“Sure will Mrs. Mo…”
“It’s Elizabeth, Francis.”
Jason took off, with Elizabeth in the seat beside him. They arrived at the docks, in record time, Jason crabbed his bag, and his new wife’s bag. Before exiting the SUV, Elizabeth reached over to grab the notebook for this project. Swinging the car door shut he grabbed her hand, and escorted her to the boat. Walking hand and hand to the front gate, seemed right at least to Jason.
Henry, one of the clerks on the Sea Legend; walked them to their cabin on the ship. Their cabin had a king side bed, a small round table, two chairs, a sofa, and a small but very private bathroom. Tipping Henry, Jason set their bags down on the floor, taking in the whole room.
“Do, you mind if I take a shower, I’m kind of tired.” Elizabeth asked.
“Sure, go head.” He replied.
While Elizabeth was in the shower, Jason pulled out some of his coffee reports, to look over. He promised him self that he would not do any business, only to get to know Elizabeth better. But looking over papers, while Elizabeth was in the shower, wasn’t going to hurt anyone. Finishing the papers, he stuffed them back into his bag, and grabbed the newspaper that was on the round table.
Minutes later Elizabeth joined Jason on the sofa, with the comforter from the bed, and a romance book that her sister packed. She looked over at Jason who was reading the newspaper, then back at her book, she noticed that Jason looked surprisingly calm. She closed her eyes, and drifted off into the most blissful sleep. Moving her head to it was comfortable she fell into a deep sleep.
Jason noticed that Elizabeth head was now resting her head on his lap, he reached for the comforter that was only covering half of her, and pulled it up more that her body was fully covered. He set aside the newspaper that he was reading and switched off the lamp that was beside him, and ran his fingers through her hair. Jason fell asleep hours later, with the lingering thoughts of Elizabeth in his head.
Elizabeth opened her eyes to stock-market figures. Realizing that she had fallen asleep last night in the arms of Jason, she spring straight upwards, making her self fall out of the couch.
Catching her, before she fell, he had one hand around her waist, and the other one around the back of her knees. Placing so that she w as standing straight up, facing him he placed a longing kiss on her lips. She opened her mouth over his and took it such passion. She dipped her tongue inside. He found is self playing with her hair. Stepping into kiss her more, she stepped away from the kiss, and ran into the bathroom. Jason stood there amazed at what had happened.
