A/N :UR where Sonny is Lulu's guardian after her parents' deaths when she was six years old and her brothers could not care for her. He never legally adopted her because it would have caused all sort of legal trouble for him and makes Lulu a target for his enemies. But Lulu considers him as her father and he considers her his daughter. Sonny is still a mobster that all of the Eastern Seaboard fears. Lulu is at a fancy Ivy League college studying to be a lawyer. Dante is still an undercover cop trying to bring Sonny down. She comes home for the summer for her annual visit.


Chapter 1:

Dante Falconari fidgeted with his tie with one hand, and stifling a yawn with the other one. He was in the baggage claim area of the Port Charles Airport waiting. It was empty except for him and a janitor that was vacuuming the carpet.

In the other hand was a handwritten sign with the name 'Lulu' written all in capital letters. What kind of name was Lulu anyway? He wondered. He had no idea what this person looked like. He was only told to pick up this person half an hour ago by his boss Sonny Corinthos the world famous mobster. When Sonny told you to do something you'd better or you would be in the middle of the river with cement shoes if you refused.

He checked the time on his cell phone, her flight just landed. It was coming from Boston's Logan Airport. So this mysterious Lulu person was probably a Red Sox fan. They were not going to get along since Dante was a life-long Yankee fan. It didn't help that she was also taking the red-eye into town either. Nothing about getting into town under the cover of night to peak someone's interest, especially a mob infested town like Port Charles, New York.

Dante was an undercover cop that was in very deep in the Corinthos' organization. He had been gathering information for the past six months on Sonny. He quickly moved up the ranks only for Sonny to demand that he pick up this Lulu person at the airport. Whoever she was, she must have meant a great deal to Sonny so that he had one of highest ranking men pick her up at the airport in the middle of the night.

Then it hit him, this Lulu person must be Sonny's lover that he had flown in for the summer. She must have been a resent acquisition because he had never heard Sonny talk about this Lulu person ever. All Dante knew that Sonny called Lulu 'precious cargo'. Dante cringed he did not even want to know what that meant. He knew of Sonny reputation with women. Dante was surprised that Sonny didn't have more than two children sons Michael and Morgan that were in college in California studying to be an engineer and business. Dante thought Sonny would have thought he would have enough kids for a softball team.

Dante then heard some voices before he saw a group of people enter the area. He fixed his tie and held up the sign to his chest.

Then he saw the most beautiful blond haired woman dressed in the highest, most sexiest pair of black heel he had ever seen, a red pencil skirt than hugged her curves, a white button down shirt that the first few buttons were undone, giving Dante a view of the curvature of her best and her lacy bra. For a moment Dante wondered if her panties matched. His mouth went dry. She carried an expensive looking leather bag and a matching carry-on bag.

Her hazel eyes fell onto the sign. She sighed heavily and made her way to him. "You must be new. I should have known that he would send someone to meet me when I repeatedly told him not to," she muttered when she saw him. "I am more than capable to get there on my own."

With that she turned her heel, heading to the baggage claim carousel to retrieve her luggage.

Dante smiled as he followed her, tucking his sign under his arm this was going to be fun.

"Lulu, right?" Dante asked as Lulu bent to get her luggage he couldn't but help looking at her backside and legs as she struggled to get her black designer luggage.

Lulu grunted as she tried to lift her suitcase with one hand and getting another bag with her other.
"Here let me do that." Dante easily picked up her bags and placed them at her feet. "You ready to go?"

"Are you my driver?" Lulu demanded. "If you are I can take a cab. You can tell Sonny that."

"I am not your driver, he is outside waiting. I don't think that Sonny is going to be too thrilled if he finds out that I let you take a cab. I might up end up in the river. My ma wouldn't have a body to bury. You wouldn't do that to my mother, would you? I mean it's a real selfish reason to get someone killed, not taking a perfectly good, free limo ride rather than pay for a stinky cab. "

"Lulu," she stuck out her hand. "Nice to meet you…"

"Dante Perelli, at your service, ma'am." Dante shook her hand.

The moment that their skin touched Dante felt a jolt of electricity. It was like he was stuck by lightning. He bent to get her luggage. "Let's go."

Like Dante said the black stretch limo was waiting for them. The driver got out of the car. Dante placed the luggage in to the truck. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the driver pull Lulu into a huge bear hug. "Glad that you are here," he said to her.

"You too, Max."

Dante opened the door for Lulu and held it open until she got in.

"You can stop staring at my ass now, Dante," Lulu said as she settled into the back of the limo.

Dante was going to climb inside with her when Max caught him by the arm. "If you knew what is good for you, stay far away from Miss Lesley Lu."

Dante settled in the seat across from Lulu. He got a better look at her. She had tanned lean legs that seemed to go on forever. He wanted to know what they felt like wrapped around his waist as he plunged into her.

Lulu opened a small bottle of water that was near by. "You are new, how long have you worked for Sonny?"

"A few months," Dante responded.

"He must have trust you a lot to get a job like this." She screwed the cap back on the bottle.

"Picking up somebody from the airport for him seems like a…"

"Menial task?" Lulu offered.

"I didn't mean that," Dante stammered. "So you flew in from Boston. What do you to there?"

"I am going to law school," Lulu answered. "I just started. I am off for the summer so I came here."

Sonny with a lawyer? Dante thought. He must be grooming her to be his next defense lawyer. "Where at?"

Lulu kicked off her shoes. "I go to school at Harvard. Sonny has been very generous with my schooling and many other things."

"I bet," Dante muttered.

He wondered what else Sonny was generous with her.

"You a Red Sox fan?" he asked instead.

Lulu vehemently shook her head. "No! I grew up here in Port Charles. I am a Yankee fan."

"Me too, we should go to a game or something," Dante said. "If you want to, of course."

Lulu was going to respond when the divider that separated the driver from them came down. Dante sighed in frustration; he really wanted to hear Lulu's answer.

"Sonny is going to be out of town for a few days," Max announced. "He wanted me to tell you make yourself at home like old times. He will be back on Sunday. He wants you to call him the minute you get settled in."

"Okay, thanks I will do that," Lulu answered.

Dante shook his head. Lulu was what, twenty-three at the most? Mr. Corinthos sure liked them young. He wondered what she saw in Sonny because he knew what Sonny saw in her.

"Why are you coming in so late? I mean Boston isn't that far away, you could have taken an earlier flight or even the train."

"The train?" Lulu asked. "I don't think that Sonny would let me take a train. He wanted to send his private jet for me. I put my foot down on that. We compromised for me taking a red-eye because not too many people are on it."

"You got that right, Lulu," Max chuckled from the front seat.

Dante pressed the button to send the divider back up. "Now we get comments from the peanut gallery on the mode of transportation you took?"

Lulu laughed. "Max is harmless. He is…over-protective to say the least."

Sonny's driver over-protective of a woman that Dante deemed to be a mistress/lover? Sonny was really protective of this one.

Lulu glanced out of the window. A slow smile spread across her face. "We are here! I sure missed this place."

"When was the last time you were here?" Dante asked.

"Last summer. I come here for the summer break since I been at school," Lulu answered. "During winter breaks we go skiing in Europe."

That meant she hasn't been here for a year. That is why she was not even mentioned in the file that he was given about Sonny when he first started. That for Sonny had kept her existence secret from everyone. It was just another question that came up. What was the nature of their relationship?

Max pulled the limo to a stop in front of the gothic style mansion. He opened the door, helping Lulu out. Dante soon followed. Milo was pulling Lulu's luggage out of the trunk. He broke out in a huge grin when he saw her.

"Hi Lulu," he blushed.

"Hello, Milo," Lulu returned. "You look good. Have you been working out?" She touched his biceps.

Milo tried to say something but it came out as gibberish. Max sighed as he hit Milo upside the head. "Snap out of it! Take Lulu's stuff upstairs."

Lulu stifled a laugh as Milo headed back to the house.

"Can I show you inside?" Dante asked.

"I already know my way. Is my room ready, Max?"

Max nodded. "It is the usual place. The maids finished this morning."

"Good, I am going up there, change, and call Sonny. I am starving so I am going to raid the fridge."

"I can heat something up for you if you want," Max offered.

Lulu waved his offer off. "I can do it myself. I will see you guys inside."


Dante found her twenty minutes later in the kitchen. She had changed from the outfit she had on the plane to a fuzzy terrycloth robe that ended at her knees.

She had a bowl of ice cream in one hand in the other hand was her phone. He bet she was talking to Sonny. "I just got in a little while ago. I am having some ice cream. I can't believe that you remember my favorite flavor, thank you for stocking up on it. The flight was fine. I was hardly even full…I guess that was your doing. I am not going to take your private jet! Stop asking. Do you know how that will make me look?"

She sighed as she listened to what Sonny was saying on the other end. "I know. I know. I can't wait to see you either. No, I won't be any trouble. Goodnight."

She hung up and saw Dante standing in the doorway. "How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to see that my boss cares a great deal about you," Dante answered.

"Why are you still here?" Lulu asked, taking a spoonful of ice cream. "Shouldn't you be home or something?"

"I am off the clock," Dante said as he went to the refrigerator pulling out two bottles of beer. "Want a beer?"He popped off the caps of them, handing her one.

"You are off the clock and yet still here?" Lulu questioned, taking the beer from him.

"I live here," Dante answered. "At least I have a room if I get off too late."

Lulu arched an eyebrow as she took a sip of beer. "Are you blaming me, Dante for getting off really late?"

"Of course not, it is part of my job," Dante stammered. "Is Sonny okay?"

Lulu nodded. "Yeah, he is going to come back on Friday morning."

It was Sunday night. That is a long time before Sonny would return home.

"Friday? That is awhile."

"I know." Lulu drained the last of her beer. She threw the bottle away in the trash can under the sink and placed her empty bowl of ice cream in the sink. "Good night, Dante."

"Goodnight," he muttered as she left the room.

As Dante ascended the stairs to go to his room that was the third door to the left, he noticed that there was a light coming from underneath the first door on the left. He smiled to himself knowing that she was in that room and the second door was their attached bathroom.

He was going to share a bathroom with her for the entire summer, this could be interesting. Even more interesting since he knew it and Lulu did not.
