***Summary***
This is a different way for Sonny and Carly to meet and ultimately fall in love Parts of this story will be like what originally happened on the show but with my twist and tweaking to the way I would like to have seen things happen. Now remember this is my spin on everything so the parts of what actually happened on GH will be put in different sections and may not go in the same order as they happened on the show. Some facts to know are that Lily has already died in the car bomb while pregnant with Sonny's son and Brenda has not betrayed Sonny by wearing the wire just yet (but she will). More new facts to know are that Jason and Carly meet when he goes to Florida on business, Carly is a physical therapist at a local hospital and her adoptive mother Virginia is dead…she died in a car accident. Oh and yeah just to let you know this fanfic is Rated NC-17 Tee Hee! Happy Reading and as always drop me a couple of lines of feedback…you know I always love to hear from you
Port Charles, New York – Harbor View Towers Penthouse 4 (Sonny's Bedroom)
"Sonny wait…please! It's not what you think just…just let me explain" Brenda tries to plead with him to listen to her
Cutting her off, Sonny tells her "I want you out of my house right now!"
"Please Sonny! It's not…it's not what you think…"
"Oh yeah?! What do I think?!"
Brenda tries to touch his face but he pushes her hand away from him "I don't know what you think…I just…just let me try to explain why."
"Explain! There's nothing to explain it's all right here on tape!" Sonny yells back as he holds up the mini tape recorder that he ripped out of the jacket she wore that was lined with a wire. "You wore a wire into my home…in my bedroom! You were gonna get me to say something incriminating so you could take it to the COPS…and have me ARRESTED!"
Sonny throws the mini tape recorder against the wall smashing it and Brenda flinches at the sudden movement and crash against the wall.
"GET THE HELL OUT! I WANT YOU OUT RIGHT NOW!"
Still trying to plead her case, Brenda tries to reach out to him again but once again Sonny pushes her hands away from him…
"Sonny I was just trying to save you! I wanted to save you from this life; you don't have to live this way with the violence anymore!"
"Yeah you're right…instead of staying in a lavish penthouse I can live in a tiny cramped up cell in Pentonville!" Sonny yells back then says "You know what small spaces does to me and yet you still try to send me prison!"
"No Sonny! I just, I thought that maybe you could cut a deal with the Feds and you could get out of the mob and we could be together without all the guns and violence and constant fear of getting shot! Do you remember six months ago when those thugs broke into my apartment and shot up my shower with me inside!"
"Is that what this is about?! I took care of that!"
"How Sonny by tracking down the thugs who did it and had them fitted with cement shoes! Don't you see you don't have to live this life anymore…we can be free if you would just let it all go!"
"I DON'T WANT TO LET IT GO! THIS IS WHAT I KNOW!"
"Can you see I only did this for your own good?"
"I said I want you OUT!"
Reaching out for him, Brenda yells "No Sonny I won't go! I have to make you understand…"
Pushing her hands away from him every time she tried to reach out to him, Sonny screams "NO! NO! I WANT YOU OUT!"
"But Sonny I love you!"
"You're turning me into my stepfather!" Grabbing her face with the palms of his hands he shakes her as he glares down into her eyes as he screams "Is that what you want?!"
Sonny lets her go and she falls to the ground crying as he storms out of the bedroom…
"SONNY!" Brenda cries out
"NO!" Sonny yells back hearing her crying uncontrollably and calling out his name
He storms his way down the hallway and down the stairs…
She gets up from the floor still crying and runs down the hallway and down the stairs after him…
"SONNY PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!"
Snatching the penthouse door open, Sonny stares straight at Johnny standing guard and tells him "I want her out of here right now! She's not welcome in my home any longer do you understand what I'm sayin Johnny?"
Nodding, Johnny replies "Yes sir…"
"I'm not leaving Sonny! We can…we can work this out; you'll see!"
Turning around to face her, Sonny tells her in no uncertain terms "I don't want to hear it!" he walks over to stand in front of her and in a low deadly tone he tells her "You're nothing to me now…you're not a lover, you're not a friend, you're not anything…you're dead to me."
Once again he frames her face in the palm of his hands then leans down to her forehead, gives it a kiss then lets her go.
Looking at him with extreme sadness in her eyes as countless tears stream down her face, Brenda softly says "You don't mean that…" she shakes her head
"You wanna know just how much I mean it?" Sonny says with determination in his eyes; he takes her hand and quickly walks her out into the hallway and bangs the elevator button with his fist "Don't ever come back into this building…you're not welcome here anymore."
Down in the lobby of the Harbor View Towers, Robin Scorpio races to the elevator so she could get up to the penthouse to try to stop Brenda from going through with wearing the wire. Yes she knew of the deal that Brenda made with the Feds from her Uncle Mac but she didn't know that Brenda was going through with it until just now when she went to see her Uncle and he told her that her best friend was going through with her plan to get Sonny on tape right now.
Robin didn't like the idea but she understood why Brenda wanted to do this…especially after those thugs broke into her apartment and shot up her shower. She knew after that day Brenda would never be able to accept Sonny's life style. At first she tried to talk her out of wearing the wire but Brenda argued back with her that it was the only way that she and Sonny could lead a normal life; her mind was set and once Brenda had her mind set on something there was no changing it so she stopped trying. Brenda was so convinced that this was going to work that in the end she had her believing that maybe this could work…and if it did then maybe Jason could get out of the mob as well. Brenda made her promise not to say anything to Sonny or Jason and Robin agreed…she just hoped that her friend was right and that this decision wouldn't backfire on her.
Even though she agreed to keep Brenda's secret, Robin didn't know when she was planning to go through with it. When she went over to see her Uncle Mac and he told her what Brenda was doing tonight she got a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach and then rushed over to the penthouse.
Now inside the elevator, Robin watches the numbers light up as the elevator goes up to the penthouse level. Once the doors finally open she is met with the sight of a furious Sonny and Brenda in tears trying to get him to forgive her.
"Oh my God…I'm too late." Robin says as she steps off the elevator and the doors close behind her
With a confused look, Sonny stares at Robin as he says "You knew about this?" he was even more heartbroken…Robin was his friend and she knew what Brenda was doing and didn't come to him and tell him.
Brenda quickly jumps to Robin's defense "Don't blame her Sonny I made her promise not to say anything…"
Running a hand through his hair making his once tamed hair now become curly and in disarray, Sonny looks back and forth between the both "You made her promise…" he says looking at Brenda and then looks over to Robin "And you thought this was such a good idea that you decided to keep it from me!" he places a hand to his chest as he continues staring at Robin "You were my friend, Robin…I trusted you."
"I still am your friend Sonny…" Robin tries to speak
Cutting her off, Sonny yells back "Friends don't send their friends to Pentonville, Robin! What the hell kind of friend is that?!"
"Brenda thought that this would be for your own good, Sonny; she was just trying to make a way for you to be able to get out of the mob so you two could lead normal lives."
With a chuckle, Sonny replies "Do you know how naive you sound Robin?" he then yells "There's no OUT for me!" he pauses for a brief moment as he looks back and forth between the two women and says "But there is for both of you…I don't want to see either of your faces here again." He looks back at Robin and says "And as for you, I'm sure once I let Jason know that you were in on this crazy stunt that he will feel the same way as me and want you out of his life too."
Robin's eyes go wide at the realization…she knew the way Sonny would explain it to Jason and of course Jason would see it his way.
"No, Sonny please don't…this wasn't my idea" Robin tries to plead with him
"Maybe but you sure as hell went along with it!" Sonny pounds the elevator button again with his fist and then turns his back to both of them as he walks back over to stand in front of Johnny "Let the guards downstairs know that Miss. Barrett and Miss. Scorpio aren't to be let back inside the building when they leave."
"Yes sir…"
Both Brenda and Robin just stand and listen as Sonny ignored them and talked directly to Johnny.
"Once they are gone I want you to go get some boxes and put all of Miss. Barrett's things inside; after everything is packed up I want you to put the boxes out on the street with the rest of the garbage so she can pick them up there."
"Yes sir…" Johnny replies
"Sonny you don't have to do that…" Robin tells him and then says "We can pack up Brenda's things ourselves if you insist on going through with this."
Turning back to look at them, Sonny says "You think I'm letting either of you back inside my home?"
"Sonny…" Brenda tries to speak
"Save it! It's not gonna happen!" The elevator doors open and Sonny tells them "Leave now and maybe I'll consider sending your things to you instead of putting them out in the garbage where they belong."
Brenda exhales a shaky breath then sniffs and wipes her tears that were still falling down her face…she realized that there was no coming back from this. Sonny was never going to forgive her…
When the elevator doors start to close, Brenda quickly puts her hand between them before they could close all the way.
With one last look at him, Brenda speaks to Robin as she says in a somber tone "Let's go…there's nothing for us here anymore."
Sonny watches as they step inside the elevator and the doors close…he stands in the hallway for a moment longer and then turns looking at Johnny and barks out "What the hell are you doing just standing there Johnny?! Go get the fucking boxes and have all of her crap sent to her suite at the Cosmopolitan! The sooner her stuff is gone and out of my life the better!"
And with that said, Sonny storms his way back inside this penthouse and walks straight over to his mini bar to pour himself a much needed drink.
Jimmy's Bar - Florida
Jason Morgan walks inside the bar in search for the beautiful blond vixen that he'd come very fond of for the past few weeks. He was in town on "business" for Mob Boss Michael "Sonny" Corinthos Jr.…well Sonny was more than just a mobster and his boss he was his best friend and more like a brother than his real brother A.J. Quartermaine was. A.J was a drunk and it was because of him that Jason wasn't Jason Quartermaine any longer…after the car accident where A.J. was driving drunk and drove his car into a tree with Jason in the passenger seat Jason lost all of his memories of ever being a Quartermaine and so Jason Morgan was born.
The Quartermaine's of course were devastated that their Golden Boy who was going to be a doctor was now an Enforcer for the Mob and was now working for Sonny Corinthos. After his accident Sonny was the only one that Jason felt he could trust. Sonny wasn't trying to force him to be somebody he couldn't remember like the Quartermaine's were trying to do; they wanted "their" Jason back but "their" Jason didn't exist anymore…a fact that they didn't want to accept. Sonny took Jason under his wing and gave him a job…eventually Jason became involved in the "business" with Sonny as his right hand and they have been loyal best friends ever since.
Although Sonny's primary location of territory was on the East Coast he did have some territory down in Puerto Rico and Florida. From time to time Sonny would make visits down there but ever since Jason became his right hand he started sending him instead. Sonny trusted Jason with his life and knew Jason's loyalty to him was unbreakable…which is why he sent Jason down to Florida this time around. He needed Jason to check up on his business affairs and make sure everything was running smoothly; Jason had been down in Florida for close to two months now and but tonight was going to be his last night there since he would catch a plane back to Port Charles the next day.
Since it was his last night in Florida, Jason decided to look up his bed partner he'd become accompanied with during his stay. He didn't know her name and she didn't know his…that was the way they wanted to keep it and truth be told it made for more exciting sex that way. Although Jason did have a girlfriend back at home…her name was Robin Scorpio. He knew what he was doing with his bed partner here in Florida was wrong…it was cheating on Robin he knew that; but he also had his needs as a man and he couldn't get those needs fulfilled from Robin since she was diagnosed with HIV. This was the first time he'd ever cheated on Robin but he couldn't help himself…especially since being with the sexy smoking hot nameless blond was unlike anything he'd ever felt before. Looking around the room he didn't see her anywhere but it was still early so maybe she hadn't showed up just yet…he walks over to the bar to get a beer.
"Hey…" Jason says to the bartender since his back was to him in order to get his attention "Give me a beer…" he tells the bartender as he turned around
The bartender recognized him of course; word was that he was a mob Enforcer. He'd seen him come in from time to time…sometimes he'd come in with Sonny Corinthos the well known mob boss but lately he's only seen him in there with a smoking hot blond chick. He wonders to himself where she was because he always loved to watch her when she would bend over the pool table to make a shot.
"Sure thing…" the bartender replies…as he hands Jason his beer, the bartender asks "Hey aren't you usually in here with that hot blond chick?"
Jason being a man of few words simply replies "Yeah"
"So where is she?" the bartender asks with a little grin as he was picturing her in his head
"Don't know"
"She's a hot one alright…hey let me know when you're done with her so I can offer her my company for the evening. I bet she's one hot piece of ass huh…" the bartender says with a little chuckle and a devilish grin as he tries to picture her naked.
Not liking that statement, Jason puts down his beer after having taken a sip and then stares directly at the bartender with his piercing and icy blue eyes staring him down letting him know to back off.
"Don't ever talk about her like that again…" Jason tells him in no uncertain terms and then pauses for a moment before going on to tell him "If I ever find out you put a hand on her I'll break your kneecaps."
The bartender gulps at the threat Jason made and not to mention the death stare he was staring him down with "Yeah, yeah sure whatever you say man…just take it easy okay. I didn't know you two were exclusive like that."
"That's none of your business and neither is she…" Jason quickly replies back
Looking over Jason's shoulder the bartender sees the hot blond chick walk inside and sighs in relief that he could get the mob enforcer that was making him very nervous with the way he was staring at him to focus on her instead of him.
"Looks like your girlfriend just walked in..." the bartender points over to her as she came walking inside the bar
Jason turns around to see her indeed standing at the entrance looking around the bar…a slight smile comes at the corner of his mouth as he realizes that she's looking for him.
"I'll get you another beer…on the house." The bartender quickly adds in as he places the beer down on the bar top.
"You do that…" Jason replies back as he keeps his eyes focused on the blond and takes another swig of his beer.
She was looking even hotter if that were possible…
Spotting the sexy baby blue eyes that were focused on her, Carly smiles a sexy little smile as she walks over to man she had come there looking for. She had a long hard day at work and she needed to unwind. A roll in the sack with Sexy Blue Eyes was just what she needed!
Jason places his beer back down on the bar as his eyes trail up and down her body as she walked over to him; indeed he was very pleased with the vision headed his way. She was wearing a black halter top shirt that was fitting her very nicely and skin tight black leather pants that showed off her figure even better.
"Hey you…" Carly says as she walks up to him closing the distance between them. She places her hands on his chest as she looks up into his eyes "Miss me" she asks and then places a kiss onto his lips.
Accepting her kiss, Jason replies back "You're looking good…" not answering her question
"I'll take that as a yes…" Carly says with a little giggle "So…what do you wanna do? You wanna play pool…you wanna dance…" she leans in close to his lips and whispers "Or do you wanna take me upstairs?"
"I'll take option three…" Jason says in a low raspy tone
"Good answer" Carly says and then places another kiss on his lips but this time it was longer and deeper. Leaning back from his lips, she looks back into his baby blues and says "Let's go!" looking over his shoulder and to the bartender, Carly says "Hey barkeep…we need a room!"
The bartender tries to suppress a grin as he knew what they were about to do and he manages to hold it in when he sees the return of the death glare Jason was staring at him with.
"You got it…" he tosses her a pair of keys to their usual room
Carly catches the keys, takes Jason's hand and practically drags him towards the back where the stairs were. They take the steps two at a time as they hurry up to the second floor and down the hall to room number five. Carly hurries to get the key in the lock and open the door as Jason kisses on her shoulder and neck...his body is pressed up against her back allowing her to feel his rock hard desire pressed up against her as his hand slowly creeps underneath her shirt.
As the door finally opens Carly moans out "Finally…"
Jason quickly turns her around and captures her lips with his in a heated yet demanding kiss…he backs her up into the room never breaking contact from her lips. Kicking the door closed with his foot, Jason turns her around so her back is to the door…
Needless to say it wasn't long afterwards that their naked bodies were skin to skin as they quickly work to undress each other and Jason lifts her up into his arms as Carly wraps her legs around his back while he carries her over to the bed.
Lying back on the bed, Carly watches curiously as Jason hops back off the bed and goes over to his jeans lying on the ground.
"What are you doing?" she asks "Get back over here you're wasting time…"
Picking up his jeans, Jason reaches into the pocket and takes out a condom…looking over to her he holds it up with a little sexy grin as he makes his way back over to the bed. Carly wets her lips as she eyed his nude rock hard body and even harder dick as he walked back over to the bed.
"Better safe you know…" Jason says
Placing the wrapper in his mouth he rips it open…
And then rolls the condom up his fully erect member…not a second later was he back on top of her and sinking inside her heat taking her to the hilt. A looooong moan escaped her lips as he filled her up oh so good. Carly rakes her nails up and down his back as she opened her legs wider as his thrusts inside her pussy started a rhythm of the headboard hitting the wall. She grabs his ass and digs her nails into his flesh…his head is buried at the crook of her neck as the heat of his breath and his grunts of pleasure filled her ear. His grunts and her moans filled the room along with the thumps of the headboard banging against the wall…
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
Names once again were not exchanged as the two became one in a heated union in a little room above the bar downstairs.
A Few Hours and Two More Condoms Later
The two no name lovers lay in bed asleep…Carly's head was laying on his chest as she all of a sudden woke up from a dream that quickly morphed into a nightmare. Sitting up straight in the bed, Carly's breathes hard as she places a hand to her still naked breast…she looks down at her sexy blue eyed lover and sees that he is still asleep. Taking a deep breath to calm herself down she sits up in the bed as she tries to remember her dream…
Remembering back, Carly started to put the pieces together…she was dreaming about her mother Virginia Benson and how she died and then of her finding the adoption papers from when she found out that she was indeed adopted. Virginia never told her that she was adopted so when she found the adoption papers it came to a huge shock to find out that Virginia wasn't her biological mother.
In the dream however, Virginia was yelling at her as usual about who knows what; their relationship wasn't a close one. No, not since Frank walked out and left them alone which made Virginia have to be the sole provider for them…not having a lot they had to move into a trailer.
As a child Carly knew that she blamed her for Frank leaving them and after he was gone their relationship was never the same.
In the dream/nightmare, Virginia was yelling at a teenage Caroline when she came sneaking back inside the trailer…of course Caroline yelled back and the argument combusted into a shouting match. But then all of a sudden Caroline wasn't a teenager anymore she was a little girl no older five years old…Virginia was yelling at her for being bad and then she told her that she was adopted and that she was going to take her back to the adoption agency because she didn't want her anymore. Little girl Caroline was screaming and crying for her mommy not to take her back but Virginia just yanked her up and carried her out to the car kicking and screaming all the way.
After that Carly woke up and is now just sitting up on the bed with her knees up to her chest and the covers pulled up over her still nude body. She sat wondering and thinking about who her real biological mother was; the adoption papers didn't list who her parents were. Now that Virginia was gone she wanted to know where she came from, who her parents were and why they gave her up. If only she had the money to hire a good private investigator but she didn't; her job at the hospital as a physical therapist paid the bills fine but that was it…she was not rich by any means that's for sure.
Exhaling a sigh "I guess I'll never know who I really am…" Carly softly says to herself
"Did you say something?" Jason asks as yawns looking over to her sitting up and staring off into space
Looking down at him, Carly says "Hey…go back to sleep."
"I thought I heard you say something…" Jason sits up in the bed then says "Something about wanting to know who you are…"
"Don't worry about it…I just had a bad dream that's all."
"You want to tell me about it?" Jason asks
Shaking her head, Carly tells him "Remember we agreed no names and no personal information."
"Yeah, true but…I'm a pretty good listener if you need to talk." Jason tells her and then says "Besides tonight is my last night here…I'm leaving tomorrow."
"You're leaving?" Carly asks "Will I ever see you again?"
"I don't know…maybe." Jason simply tells her and then says "It may be a while before I come back down this way so…" he pauses for a brief moment then continues "Tonight maybe the last time you see me for a while."
With a slight nod, Carly then says "Well then in that case I think I should at least tell you my name so that you will have a name to go along with your memories of me."
"If you want…" Jason again simply replies
Carly laughs a little at his short and to the point response "You certainly are a man of few words…it doesn't matter to you one way or the other if I tell you my name?"
"It matters…if you want to tell me your name that's fine and if you don't then that's fine too."
With a little smirk, Carly just shakes her head at his reply and then holds out her hand for him to shake as she says "Caroline Benson…but you can call me Carly; I don't go by Caroline anymore."
"Jason Morgan" Jason tells her his name as he shakes her hand with a little chuckle that they were finally introducing themselves to each other.
Carly was shocked when he finally told her his name…although she never knew what Jason Morgan looked like she did know the name. He was a mob enforcer…she was having a heated sex affair with a man that killed people for the mob for a living.
"Oh my God…you work for the Mob." Carly says realizing exactly who he was…she moves to lie on her side and lean on her elbow as she faces him.
"I see you've heard my name before…" Jason says as he watches her intently to see if she would now be afraid of him…the longer he looked at her the more he could tell that she wasn't. In fact it looked like she kind of liked it
"Who hasn't heard your name before; I just never had a picture to go with the name obviously…" Carly replies then says "You work for that mobster guy Sonny Corinthos…"
Moving to lay on his side and lean on his elbow to face her just as she did earlier, Jason tells her "We shouldn't talk about my business…" and then changes the subject "Why don't you tell me about your dream instead?"
Closing her eyes for a moment at the memory of the horrible dream "You don't wanna hear about that…" she opens her eyes then says "It's nothing really…just my pathetic life that's all."
"You're not pathetic…why would you say that?" Jason asks
Carly quickly replies back "Because it's true…you don't know me so you can't say that."
"I know enough…and besides you don't strike me as the type to let anyone walk all over her" Jason quickly tells her then asks "What did you dream about that would make you think so less of yourself?"
A moment of silence passes between them before Carly finally opens up to him and says… "My mother…well my adoptive mother Virginia."
"You were adopted?"
"Yeah…only I never knew I was adopted. I only just found out after the woman I knew as my mother died a few months ago."
"I'm sorry…" Jason quickly apologizes
"Thanks" Carly replies in a soft somber tone then goes on to say "After her funeral I found the adoption file in her things."
"Is that what you dreamed about?"
"Yeah well…kind of; okay so in my dream my mom Virginia and I were screaming at each other because I was trying to sneak back inside after sneaking out of my window earlier and then all of a sudden I'm a little girl again and Virginia is still yelling at me but the only difference is that she tells me that I'm adopted and that she didn't want me anymore and was going to return me back to the adoption agency."
"I can see why you were so upset…"
"Yeah…well it doesn't matter anyway; I mean it's not like I can yell at her or anything for not telling me I was adopted before she died. We did enough yelling and screaming at each other to last us a lifetime." Carly explains to him and Jason just stays quiet and listens to her since it seemed she needed someone to do just that "We were never really close…especially not after Frank left us; Frank Benson…he was my dad…well adopted dad. He just up and left one day and never came back…I could always tell that Virginia blamed me for it. She would all but say it whenever we fought. I never really felt that mother, daughter bond or love that other kids had…I guess I know now that the reason for that is because she was never my mother." Exhaling a breath she goes on to say "I wish I could find my birth mother you know…so I could look her in the eyes and ask her why she gave me away? I wish I could do that but I can't…"
"Why not?" Jason asks
"Because for one thing adoption files are not easy to get opened up and another thing is I don't have the money to hire a private investigator to help me find anything out."
With a slight nod, Jason says with a half smile "Well I think that today is your lucky day because you just happen to know a guy with connections."
Realizing what he was saying, Carly smiles as she says "Are you sayin what I think you're sayin…you'll help me find out who my birth mother is?"
"Yeah, sure…although I can't promise anything but I will look into it for you."
Practically leaping into his arms hugging him and then placing kisses all over his face, Carly says over and over again between each kiss she gave him "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you…"
Trying to get a word in, Jason laughs a little as he says "You're welcome"
Now sitting up and looking down at him as her legs straddle his lap, Carly lightly nibbles down on her bottom lip before saying "I can't believe you would do that for me…no one has ever been so nice to me that they would help me out like this. Thank you."
Jason places his hands on her hips as he stares up at her naked breast and stiffened pink nipples before looking up at her face as he says "Well we're friends right…and friends look out and do stuff for each other."
"I kind of think we're a little more than friends…especially after what we've been doing with each other for the last couple of weeks."
They both share a little laugh at that thought…
Carly then starts to think to herself that he was right…they were friends. She felt safe with him and also felt like she could tell him anything in the world.
"You know what…you're right. You are my friend and as your new found friend I'm going to do you a favor."
"Oh yeah…what kind of favor?"
Getting up from his lap and out of the bed, Carly looks around the floor for her clothes and starts picking them up to put back on…
"I'm going to keep our friendship strictly friends without benefits."
Looking at her confused, Jason asks "Why would you do that?"
"Because I don't have a lot of friends and I don't want to screw up our friendship with sex and deep complicated feelings." Carly tells him as she slips her panties back up her legs and then starts to put her bra back on. "If we are going to be friends…best friends then we should just be that and nothing more."
Nodding in agreement, Jason replies "You're right…if we're going to be best friends then sex shouldn't be in the picture. Although I can't say I'm not gonna miss the benefits…"
They both knew that the "benefits" would be missed but what they would gain without it would be the start of a good friendship.
As she finishes putting the rest of her clothes on, Carly says "Come on…get dressed so we can go downstairs and I can beat you in a game of pool."
Jason laughs "You never beat me…"
"Hey there's a first time for everything so never say never."
Getting out of bed and starting to get dressed himself, Jason says "I think it's pretty safe to say you'll never beat me."
Once they were fully dressed Jason and Carly go back downstairs to the bar; of course the bartender noticed the look of total satisfaction on their faces but he made a mental note not to stare at the blond for too long because he didn't want the wrath of a mob enforcer to come down on him.
"You rack up the balls and I'll get us a couple of beers…" Carly tells Jason as she looks over her shoulder to him and gives him a little wink.
Jason just smiles and shakes his head at her…here they had made a pact to just be friends and she was flirting with him.
Walking up to the bar, Carly places the room keys down and then says "Two beers for me and my friend."
"Coming right up…" the bartender replies but inwardly saying to himself that she and the mob enforcer were more than friends since they've been banging the fuck out of each other for hours upstairs…he heard the thumping from the headboard as evidence when he went upstairs to check on the other rooms. Placing two beers on the bar top "There you go…anything else?"
"No thanks…" Carly says while picking up the beers and walking back over to where Jason stood holding two pool sticks in his hand.
"Ready to be beaten by a girl…" Carly asks with a little laugh as she hands him his beer
Jason takes the beer and hands her one of the pool sticks as he says "Are you ready to be beaten because we both know you will never beat me." He smirks and then takes a swig of his beer.
The two new best friends play pool and continue to talk all through the night up until it was closing time for Jimmy's Bar. Of course Carly didn't win any of the games they played…not that she didn't give it her best shot.
All while they played pool and drank beers they talked about any and everything…Carly told him all about her childhood growing up with Virginia and watching her best friend Carly die in a car accident which is why she's never learned how to drive. She also told him everything about her adoption that she knew from the papers she found; he'd asked her about it so that he could do what he promised and look in to finding out who her birth mother was.
Jason in turn told her about the Quartermaine's and all about waking up brain damaged in the hospital after his drunken brother ran into a tree with him in the passenger seat of his car; he also told her about Sonny and Robin...although he made sure not to give her specifics on his business relationship with Sonny.
Carly was shocked to hear that he had a girlfriend back home; however the way he described this Robin girl she sounded pretty dull and boring to Carly. She reasoned with herself that Robin's HIV status wasn't the only reason that Jason went looking to get laid when he came to Florida on business. When the bar was finally closing for the night, Jason and Carly exchanged numbers and addresses; Jason promised her that if he found out anything about who her birth mother was that he would get back in touch with her. After Jason took her back to her apartment, Carly thanked him for helping her and then gave him a kiss on his cheek before opening her door and saying goodbye.
Port Charles, New York – Harbor View Towers
Stepping off the elevator as the doors open, Jason looks at his watch and sees that the time was now a quarter to three. Max was standing guard this time at Penthouse 4 when he sees Jason stepping off the elevator.
"Hey Max…" Jason says as he places his duffle bag down in front of his penthouse door
"Jason hey…how was your trip?"
Taking out his keys, Jason replies "Everything went well not complications…" he starts to put the key in the door to open it as he asks "Is Sonny home or at the warehouse?"
Max realizes that Jason doesn't know what went down between Sonny and Brenda and it looked like he was going to be the one to have to tell him.
"The Boss is inside the penthouse…he hasn't left since after the huge fight he had with Brenda."
With the door now open, Jason turns around and asks "Sonny and Brenda had a fight…I'm sure after a few days it will all blow over and they'll be back together again like always."
"Not this time…" Max tells him
"What do you mean not this time?" Jason asks as he picks up his duffle bag to take it inside
"The Boss kicked her out when he caught her wearing a wire."
Hearing what Max just told him, Jason immediately dropped his bag to the floor "How bad is he?"
Exhaling a sigh, Max tells him "Pretty bad…he's been locked up in the penthouse since yesterday and drinking nonstop. Every time any of us tries to go inside and ask him if he needs anything he just bites our heads off, cusses us out then orders us back into the hallway."
Running a hand down his face, Jason exhales a breath then says "Take my bag inside for me will ya…I'll go over and check in on Sonny."
"Good luck…" Max says as he pats Jason on the shoulder then picks up his bag to take inside of penthouse 2.
Jason walks over to the door of penthouse 4 and places his hand on the doorknob…he waits a few seconds longer before he slowly opened the door. The penthouse was quiet you could hear a pin drop it was so quiet…Jason steps inside and closes the door behind him. Looking around he sees broken glassware on the floor and is careful as he walks further inside.
The only sound heard in the penthouse was the sound of the crunching glass underneath Jason's shoes as he walks around wondering where Sonny was at. He went inside the kitchen and he wasn't in there…when he came back into the living room he spots Sonny's luggage sitting at the bottom of the staircase. Just as he was about to go upstairs and check the bedroom, Sonny comes walking down the stairs.
Stopping in place after walking down a few of the steps, Sonny sees Jason is standing there looking up at him.
"Don't bother cleaning up I like it like this…" Sonny says as he walks down the last of the steps
Jason gestures a hand towards the suitcases "You going somewhere?"
"Thought I'd go to the Island for a while…" Sonny tells him and then walks over to stand directly in front of him "I'm gonna need you to step up and run things for a while."
"How long are you gonna be gone?" Jason asks
"I don't know…I just can't stay here right now." Sonny replies and then exhales a breath before saying "Did Max tell you what happened?"
"Why don't you tell me?"
With a slight nod, Sonny tells him "Brenda betrayed me to the Feds…she set me up. She wore a wire and I found it. She thought that she could get the Feds to cut a deal with me and that I could get out of the mob and then we'd go away somewhere and live happily ever after in some fairytale world she had pictured in her head." Shaking his head "Not gonna happen…" he looks down blowing out a breath and then looks up again as he says "Did Max tell you about Robin?"
With a scrunched up brow, Jason asks "What about Robin?"
"She knew…" Sonny tells him "She knew about Brenda's set up deal with the Feds and her wearing the wire; she knew Jason…and she didn't say nothing!"
"Wait, wait you're telling me that Robin knew about Brenda's deal with the Feds and she didn't say anything."
"Not a damn thing…" Sonny replies then says "Just as I was kicking Brenda out of my penthouse and onto the elevator Robin comes stepping off the elevator and guess what…she wasn't surprised about it all. I asked her if she knew and said she did and was going on and on defending Brenda and her decision to stab me in the back."
"I can't believe she didn't say anything…"
"Believe it Jason because she didn't…they both started yap, yap, yapping trying to defend themselves and each other but I just couldn't listen to anymore of the shit they were trying to spoon feed me so I kicked them both out on their collected ASSES!" Sonny tells him and then says "Don't expect to see Robin over here anymore and if you know what's good for you you'll drop her and never look back."
Turning around, Sonny walks over to the staircase and picks up his suitcases…
Jason watches him pick up his bags and says "You're leaving now?"
"Yeah like I said I can't stay here right now…"
"I'm just asking because I'm afraid that if you leave and go to the Island you're just going to drown yourself with liquor and depression…"
"I can't stay here Jason!"
"You won't have anyone there to help pull you out of it if you leave Sonny!"
"I don't care!" Sonny yells back then says "I leaving and I need you to take care of things for me Jason can you do that for me please!"
A moment of silence passes between them before Jason replies "Yeah...sure."
"Thank you…"
"Just promise me that when you find yourself slipping into the darkness that you'll take a step back and call me…I don't care what time it is. Call me and I'll be on a plane over there okay; promise me, Sonny…"
Another moment of silence passes between them before this time Sonny replies in a lowered tone "Yeah okay…whatever."
"Good…" Jason says as he places a hand on his shoulder "Don't worry I'll take care of business…you just focus on finding a way to put Brenda behind you and being able to move forward." he lowers his hand from Sonny's shoulder…
Nodding, Sonny then tells him "And you think about what I said about Robin…she can't be trusted Jason. Especially if she actually thought it was a good idea for Brenda to go to the Feds and wear a wire into my home." he stares Jason straight into the eyes with a very serious look "She probably thought that if Brenda succeeded with her plan to get me out of the mob that you would follow suit and leave too."
"Don't worry about anything…I'll handle Robin."
Exhaling a breath, Sonny nods then says "I'm gonna go now…I'm trusting you to take care of my business while I'm gone."
"You don't have to worry…you can trust me."
"I know… I know…"
The two best friends hug for a brief moment and then Sonny picks up his suitcases as he calls out "Max!"
Max opens the door "Sir…"
"Call down to the garage and have Francis bring the car around to the front…" Sonny tells him and then continues on saying "I'm going out of town for a while…Jason is in charge until I get back."
"Yes sir…" Max replies and then comes over to take Sonny's luggage
Walking over to the open door, Sonny turns back around to look at Jason "Thanks man…for doing this for me I mean."
Jason doesn't say a word he just stands and gives him a slight nod; Sonny nods back and then leaves out the door and closes it behind him. Jason stares at the door as he tell himself that hopefully this time away will be some good for Sonny and he won't get completely lost in the darkness. He knew that was wishful thinking but still he hoped for the best.
Rubbing the back of his neck, Jason's thoughts went to Robin and what Sonny said that she did…he couldn't believe that his Robin would do something like that but apparently she did because Sonny wouldn't lie to him about something like this. Walking over to the desk near the door, Jason picks up the phone and dials; when the phone picks up Jason speaks first before the person could even get a chance to say hello.
"I need to see you now…" Jason says into the phone…he listens for a moment then says "Meet me down on the bridge in fifteen minutes." he hangs up the phone
The Bridge
She knew he was there even before he said anything…
"I take it Sonny told you what happened with him and Brenda?" Robin says as she stares out at the view with her hands placed on the bridge and not turning around to look at him
Walking over to stand next to her, Jason looks straight ahead and says "He told me…now I want you to tell me."
Turning to look up at him, Robin says "It's true okay…yes I knew what Brenda was planning and no I didn't tell Sonny or you for that matter."
"Why?"
"Because she's my best friend and she was afraid…and on some level I was hoping that it would work so that not only Sonny but you too could leave the business and live a normal life."
"Did you really believe that was gonna happen Robin?!" Jason yells frustrated "The Feds weren't gonna cut Sonny a deal and allow him to live out his life in some foreign country of his choice! They were gonna lock him up and throw away the key; and not just Sonny they would have done it to me too! Is that what you wanted?!"
"No!"
"Then why go along with Brenda's stupid plan! You know Sonny can't be in small cramped up places he would have died in Pentonville!"
"My Uncle Mac assured me that if Sonny were to cooperate with the Feds that…"
Cutting her off, Jason snaps back "Mac! You discussed this with Mac! You believed him when he told you Sonny wouldn't go to jail?!"
"Yes I did! He's never lied to me before!"
"But the Feds do lie, Robin! There's no way in hell they were gonna offer Sonny any type of deal that didn't involve jail time."
"I'm sorry…"
"You should be…" Jason yells back
A tear falls down her face and Robin sniffs and wipes away the fallen tears "Are we okay?"
"How can we be…not after this; I can't trust you."
"I can't believe you just said that to me…"
"I can't believe you helped Brenda set Sonny up…Sonny's your friend how could you do that to him?!" A brief moment of silence passes between them before Jason finally breaks the silence as he tells her "It's over between us…"
"No…don't say that."
"It's over Robin…I can't trust you anymore." Jason simply tells her and then says "You know what…I think you should do what you wanted to do before and go to school in Paris."
Robin couldn't believe what Jason was saying…he actually wanted her to go away. She'd decided not to go to Paris and to stay in Port Charles and go to school because she didn't want to be without him but now here he was telling her to go.
"But…but we agreed that I would stay here and go to school."
"I know…but since it's over between us now there's nothing holding you back from leaving." Jason tells her and then adds in "You should go…"
Robin places a hand on his cheek and Jason places his hand on hers and lowers it down from his face. She looks at her hand that he'd just removed and her heart began to break even more than it already was if that were even possible.
"Bye…" Jason says and then turns and starts walking away without so much as a backward glance back to look at her.
That was it...he was gone. The tears flow freely now as she watches him walk down off the bridge, hop on his motorcycle and drive away.
Carly's Apartment in Florida
Five months had passed since she last saw Jason so to say Carly was surprised and happy all rolled into one when she saw him standing in her doorway would be an understatement.
"Jason!" Carly says with a bright smile and then practically jumps into his arms
With a little laugh, Jason hugs her back and twirls her around before letting her back down to the ground… "I take it you're happy to see me." Looking at her standing in front of him, Jason notices that she grew her hair out. "You hair is longer…"
"Yeah…you like it?"
"Yeah…looks good on you." Jason says while reaching out a hand to touch her hair while his other hand held a envelop in his hand
"Thanks" Carly smiles at him then asks "Why haven't you called me? I haven't heard from you since you left."
"Can I come in?" Jason asks and she steps aside so he could come inside
"You better get in here…" Carly tells him with a little laugh and then takes his hand and pulls him over to the couch to sit down "So…what brings you all the way back down here again?"
"You actually…" Jason replies and then tells her "Remember I told you I'd look into trying to find your birth mother."
Carly's heart skipped a beat…was he actually here to tell her that he found out who her mother is? "You found her? You found out who she is? Who is she Jase? Where is she?" she fires out questions wanting to know the answer to all of them
Holding up a hand, Jason says "Hold on a minute calm down first; take a deep breath."
Taking a deep breath and exhaling it out, Carly then says "Okay…I'm calm now spill It." it was then that she noticed the envelop in his hand "Is that about my birth mother?"
Nodding "Yes…" Jason tells her and then says "Before I give you this I just want to say that it wasn't easy to find out this information. Benny my accountant had a tough time getting this information but we were able to get it; it took some doing for my computer tech to break into the adoption agency's computer files. It was a long shot to find out if they had the information in their computer files since back when you were adopted they kept their records by hand and in file boxes…but lucky for us they had all their files converted over to computer."
"Did your computer guy find out a name? Who is she Jase? Who is my birth mother?"
Exhaling a breath, Jason hand over the envelop to her…Carly takes the envelop and rips it open impatiently. Jason himself could not believe it when he read the name of Carly's birth mother…it just so happened that he knew the woman and she lived right in Port Charles where he lived and to top it off he knew her.
"Barbra-Jean Spencer…" Carly reads the name off the paper she'd just snatched out of the envelop…looking up at Jason she says "My mother's name is Barbra-Jean Spencer and she lives in Port Charles, New York." she holds the paper to her chest like a treasure and then realizes something "Hey wait…don't you live in Port Charles, New York?"
Nodding, Jason replies "Yes…and that's not all." he pauses for a brief moment before going on to tell her "I know your mother…she's the sister of a business associate of mine. She's also a nurse at General Hospital and half owner of a diner called Kelly's with her older brother Luke Spencer. "
"You know my mother…you know Barbra-Jean Spencer?"
"Yeah…Bobbie's a good person." Jason tells her
"Bobbie…I thought her name was Barbra-Jean?"
"It is but everyone calls her Bobbie…kind of like you don't like to be called Caroline. Like mother like daughter I guess." Jason replies and then adds in "She also has a adopted son named Lucas…you have a little brother."
Holding up a hand, Carly scrunches her brow and says "Wait a minute you mean to tell me that Bobbie gave me up for adoption but she goes and adopts herself a SON?!"
"Well when you put it like that it sounds bad…" Jason starts out saying and then holds up a hand stopping her before she could start yelling "But you don't know why she had to give you up…she probably had reasons for it Carly."
"I just don't get how she could give me away like yesterday's trash and then go and adopt herself a brand new kid! Why couldn't she keep me?"
"I don't know…that's an answer only Bobbie can give you." Jason says with sympathy in his voice for her
"Did you tell her about me?" Carly asks
Shaking his head no, Jason replies "It's not my place to tell…"
"Good…because I don't want her to know. She obviously didn't want me and still doesn't since it she's forgotten all about me; she has a brand new adopted son to love and take care of and be a family with."
"Okay…if that's your decision I'm not gonna try to talk you out of it."
"Wow that was easy…I'm not use to anybody being on my side; I thought you were gonna fight with me about telling her."
"No arguments it's your decision…I use to hate it when the Quartermaine's would try to force their views, opinions and tell me how to live my life. They did it all the time when I first got out of the hospital after the accident…which is why I left and never went back. I won't do to you what they tried to do with me. If you say you don't want to tell Bobbie then I won't force you to…and if you say you don't want me to tell her either then I won't."
"Thanks Jase…you really are a true and loyal best friend."
"No problem…" Jason replies and then says "So…do you want to at least come back to Port Charles with me so you can see her?" he quickly adds in "You don't have to tell her anything you don't want to but if you want to come and check her out for yourself you can come back home with me."
"I don't know Jase…I'm just not ready for that yet but I may take you up on that offer later." Carly tells him with a slight shake of her head
"Okay…whenever you're ready just let me know and I'll send you a ticket."
Smiling at him, Carly says "You just want me to go to Port Charles with you…" she laughs a little then says "Admit it you miss me"
"You're my friend of course I miss you…" Jason says with a slight smile then tells her "Besides I didn't say you had to move to Port Charles I just said you could come and visit and check Bobbie out for yourself and then decide whether you want to tell her or not."
"I'll think about it…"
"Good that's all I ask…" Jason says
"So how long are you in town for?" Carly asks
"I'm leaving for the airport when I leave here…I had some business to attend to yesterday but that's all taken care of now. I didn't want to come to see you until I had everything handled."
With a little pout of her lips, Carly says "You have to leave so soon…you just got here and I never get to see you."
"Well you could see me all the time if you come back to Port Charles with me."
"So you do want me to move there with you?" Carly asks with a slight raise of an eyebrow
"Only if you want too…" Jason replies
"I can't just drop everything and move to Port Charles…I don't have a job or a place to stay."
"Well until you get on your feet you can always stay with me and as for a job you can always get one at General Hospital as a physical therapist; and hey Bobbie works at GH. She's the head nurse and you'll be able to get to know her there without telling her you're her daughter. Well that is until you're ready to."
"You have it all figured out don't you…"
"It's up to you I'm not gonna force you."Jason tells her
Standing up from the couch, Jason walks over to the door and just when he's about to open it Carly calls out to him "Okay you talked me into it…"
Jason turns around trying to hold back a smile "Good I'm glad you decided to come back with me."
"But I won't stay with you for long…just until I'm able to find my own place and get a job."
"Whatever you say…"
"I'll go start packing right now." Carly tells him and Jason just smiles shaking his head as she practically runs to her room
Jason knew that she was putting up a tough front about not wanting to meet or tell Bobbie that she's her biological daughter but still he didn't want to push her into anything…but what he could do was let her come to the conclusion herself to move back to Port Charles with him; that way she could get to know Bobbie and see that she's a wonderful person and make the decision all on her own to tell Bobbie the truth.
Although Jason wasn't stupid…he knew that the real reason Carly agreed to come back to Port Charles with him was because she wanted revenge. He caught that look in her eye when she made the decision in her head to make Bobbie pay for giving her away…but he wouldn't tell her that he knows what she's planning. Not just yet anyway…what he was hoping though is that she would change her mind and if she didn't then God help Bobbie that's for sure.
~Inside Carly's Bedroom~
Taking out her suitcase from her closet, Carly drops it on the bed and opens it up; she immediately starts filling it up with her clothes and stuff as she began to think to herself all the ways that she could make Bobbie pay for giving her away. Once she has all of her stuff packed, Carly closes the suitcase and then locks it…
"Barbra-Jean Spencer huh…just wait until you get a taste of the wrath of Carlybabe's. You're not gonna know what hit ya!" Carly says with a devious little grin
Port Charles, New York – The Brownstone
"Lucas let's go you're gonna be late for school!" Bobbie calls out to her eight year old son
"Coming mooooooooom"
BEEP, BEEP! Came the sound of the school bus outside
"Lucas your bus is here let's go!"
Not a second later did a small brown headed blur come charging out of the kitchen and practically run her down as he ran past her.
"Wait don't forget your lunch!" Bobbie calls out to him while standing at the door
Lucas quickly runs back to her and grabs his lunch bag from her hand and Bobbie makes a quick move to give him a kiss on the cheek
"Mooooooom what if the other kids see you kissing me like that; I'll never be able to live it down."
"Well I'm pretty sure their moms kiss them too so you have nothing to worry about." Bobbie tells him and then says "Now scoot…and have a great day at school."
The bus blows the horn again and Lucas takes off running while yelling a goodbye over his shoulder. Bobbie watches as he gets on the bus and the bus leaves with her precious cargo; once the bus was out of sight she is about to close the door and go back inside so she could get ready for work but stops instead when she sees a taxi pull up in front of the Brownstone. She wonders to herself who was coming over at this time in the morning…
Carly pays the taxi driver when he pulls up in front of the Brownstone…Jason had told her about this place on their way home on the plane. He told her that Bobbie owned it and she also rented out rooms there; from that moment on with that useful information she decided that would be the perfect way to get close to Bobbie so that she could ruin her life.
It's been about two months since she first arrived with Jason in Port Charles…in the short time she's been here Carly has made the rounds in town. She actually did meet Bobbie once at Kelly's but of course she didn't tell her who she was; she was just a customer getting some lunch with her best friend Jason Morgan while spying on the woman that abandoned her at birth. Jason introduced them and he also kept a close eye on Carly since he knew she hadn't given up her need to make Bobbie pay for giving her up; but again he still didn't tell her that he knew of her plans for Bobbie. Carly saw her again when she went to GH to apply for a job; Bobbie was of course nice to her and pointed out the way for her to go to human resources to apply for a position.
Bobbie smiles as she watches the familiar blond woman get out of the taxi and close the door behind her; she recognized her as Jason's friend he'd introduced her to at Kelly's and then again when she met her at the hospital.
"Good morning…" Bobbie says as Carly came walking up the walkway towards her "I'm sorry I forgot your name…I remember you're Jason's friend right?"
Making herself smile back, Carly replies "That's right…the name is Carly, Carly Benson." she extends her hand for her to shake
"Well it's good to see you again Carly…" Bobbie shakes her hand and then says "How can I help you?"
"Well I'm looking for my own place to stay…and Jason told me about this place. He said you rented rooms here."
"That's right and I just so happen to have a room to rent…come inside and I'll show it to you real quick before I have to leave to go to in for my shift at the hospital."
"Thanks…" Carly replies
Turning around, Bobbie leads her possible new tenant inside as she says "My husband Tony has already left for the morning and so has my son for school…but you can meet them another time."
"I'd like that…" Carly says with a friendly smile as she follows her inside the Brownstone
Carly's plan was simple…she would befriend Bobbie as she stayed at the Brownstone and also at the hospital since she did get the job she applied for. She would learn everything about her and when the time was right she would strike like the venom from a cobra and take her down once and for all.
After showing Carly the room upstairs and around the Brownstone itself, Bobbie asks "So what do you think? Is this gonna be your new home?"
"Definitely" Carly says with a smile while inwardly patting herself on the back for her plan falling into place…so far so good!
"Great" Bobbie smiles genuinely and then says "Oh hey why don't you stop by my brother's club tonight and we can celebrate you on getting hired at GH and moving in here at the Brownstone. Have you been to Luke's Blues Club yet? I know you're still new in town."
"I've heard about Luke's Club from Jason but no I haven't been there yet."
"Good then you will come tonight and I'll introduce you to my big brother, Luke…he's quite a character, you'll like him."
"Sounds like a plan…I'll be there."
Corinthos-Morgan Warehouse
Sitting in the office with the phone to his ear, Jason dials Sonny's number on the Island…he wanted to check up on him since he hadn't talked to him for a while. He did manage to get in touch with Sonny two weeks ago but the conversation was short since Sonny didn't want to talk.
The phone rings and rings and rings and rings until finally Jason hears the line pick up no one answers hello; he could tell someone was on the other end of the line but they weren't saying anything.
"Sonny…Sonny is that you? It's me Jason."
A few seconds pass and then "Jason…why are you calling again? Is something wrong?" Sonny finally speaks into the phone
"No nothing's wrong everything is fine; I just wanted to check in on you and make sure you're okay."
Exhaling a frustrated breath, Sonny practically barks out "I don't need you checking up on me Jason like I'm some sort of child! All you gotta do is take care of my business! Don't call back here again! If I want to talk to a shrink I'll get a therapist; I don't need you psychoanalyzing me, Jason!"
"Sonny that's not what I'm trying to do…" Jason tries to explain "I'm just worried about you that's all…"
"I'm a big boy Jason I can take care of myself…" Sonny walks over to the mini bar, picks up a bottle of Bourbon and pours himself a drink. Bringing the glass to his lips her gulps it down in one shot then pours himself another.
Just as Jason was about to say reply back, the office door comes busting open and the blond tornado that is Carly Benson comes walking inside with a devious little smile on her face. Jason knew that look meant nothing but trouble…
"Hey Jase you'll be happy to know that I won't have to crash at your place any longer…" Carly tells him and doesn't miss a beat even when Jason shoots her a look to keep her voice down since he was on the phone "I got that job at GH and I found a place to rent so we don't have to be roomies any longer."
Sonny frowns when he hears the female voice in the background that was yapping a mile a minute… "Jason…Jason who is that annoying voice in the background interrupting our conversation?!"
Jason holds up a hand for Carly to be quiet for a moment "That's just Carly…remember I told you about her the last time we spoke…"
"Who are you talking to?" Carly asks wondering who Jason was explaining who she was to on the phone
"Are you at the office at the warehouse?" Sonny asks…when Jason tells him he is Sonny erupts like a volcano yelling into the phone "What the fuck is that woman doing at my warehouse and in my office Jason! Do you even know who this woman is?! Can she be trusted?! Are you sure she's not wearing a fucking wire and bugging my office for the Feds?! HUH?! Get that Bitch out of my office right now!"
Sonny was yelling so loud that Jason had to pull the phone from his ear; he was also so loud that Carly heard everything he said. How dare he call her a bitch! He didn't even know her! What the fuck gave him the right to call her that?!
"Don't call her that Sonny…" Jason goes into defense mode for Carly "Carly is my friend and she can be trusted."
"Did you hear what I said Jason?! I what her outta my office NOW!"
Before Jason got a chance to reply back, Carly storms over to where Jason sat behind the desk and rips the phone out of his hand. Jason tries to grab it back but Carly quickly moves out of the way before he could.
"Hey ASSHOLE just where the fuck to you get off calling me a bitch?!"
Jason gets up from the desk and almost trips over the wastebasket as he goes over to Carly and tries to take the phone back…Carly on the other hand was not giving him the phone back and holds out a hand to his chest as she continues yelling into the phone at Sonny.
"You don't even know me man and if you I ever hear you call me a bitch or any other name that is not mine I'm going to personally reach through this phone and kick your ASS! You got that?!"
"Carly give me the phone!" Jason says still trying to get the phone from her but she is so quick as she maneuvers around the room keeping the phone away from him
"Lady I don't know who you are and I don't want to know but what I do know is that NO ONE talks to me like that! Do you have any idea who I am?! Do you have any idea what I can do to you?!"
"Oh I know who you are Mr. Corinthos and that's a rude and disrespectful JERK! And before you go trying to threaten me again just know this…Carlybabes can handle anything you throw at her!"
"Oh yeah little girl…you think so?!" Sonny fires back as his blood pressure shoots through the roof and the little vein at his the side of his neck throbbed
"I know so and I'm nobody's little girl, Little Man!"
"What the fuck did you just call me?!" Sonny asks completely pissed off
"Oh you didn't hear me…I'm sorry let me speak up, Little Man! I'm nobody's little girl and I'll be damned if I'm going to allow you to talk about me any kind of way and you don't even know me!"
"Put Jason back on the phone!"
"I'm sorry Jason's busy at the moment but you can talk to my Uncle Tone…first name Dial!" CLICK! And with that said, Carly hangs up the phone introducing Sonny Corinthos to the dial tone and then tosses the cordless phone back over to Jason
Pulling the phone back from his ear when he hears the dial tone, Sonny stares at the phone in his hand as he says "What the fuck just happened?"
"Carly what the hell?! Are you out of your mind? I can't believe you just talked to Sonny like that! And then you hung up on him!"
"The man was disrespectful to me and he called me a bitch so I introduced him to one!" Carly replies back
"You should have just let me handle it…"
"I'm sorry Jase but when I heard those awful things that bastard was saying about me I just snapped."
Rubbing a hand at the back of his tense neck, Jason says "I get it okay…Sonny was out of line; he was way out of line but next time you let me handle it okay."
"Well I made sure there won't be a next time and if your buddy Sonny knows what's good for him he'll think twice before he calls me names again."
Exhaling a breath, Jason just shakes his head and then asks "Was there a reason you came by to see me?"
Smiling at him as she places a soothing hand to his cheek, Carly says "I got the job at GH and I found a place to stay." she lowers her hand back down to her side
"You did…that's great you got the job at GH." Jason says genuinely happy for her and then asks "So what place did you find to rent? Let me know and I'll have the neighborhood checked out before you move in."
"Oh the neighborhood is just fine Jase…"
"So where is this place?"
"The Brownstone…Bobbie showed me an empty apartment room she had this morning. I'll start packing my things up tomorrow and you can have your bachelor pad back to yourself."
Getting a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach, Jason says "You're gonna stay at the Brownstone with Bobbie?"
"Yeah…why are you looking at me like that? I thought you'd be happy to see me making an effort to get to know Bobbie."
"I would be happy if I didn't know the real reason why you decided the make the Brownstone your new home." Before she could attempt to say anything, Jason holds up a hand and says "You think I don't know that you want to make Bobbie pay for giving you up for adoption? I knew it all along Carly I just didn't say anything."
"Jase I don't know what you're talking about?"
"Don't even try that with me Carly I know you too well…you are upset with Bobbie and you know it. She didn't keep you when you were a baby but she later on adopts another kid…you can't tell me that you're not pissed off at her and want to make her pay for leaving you."
"Okay yeah you figured me out…you're right Jason. Is that what you want to hear?" Carly says as she folds her arms across her chest
"No…what I want to hear is that you won't go through with whatever it is you're planning on doing. Bobbie is a good person if you just get to know her."
"I thought you said you weren't going to try to force me to tell Bobbie or make do what it is you want me to do? Didn't you say that you hated it when the Quartermaine's use to do it do you?"
"That's not what I'm doing…" Jason tells her and then says "I'm just trying to save you from getting yourself hurt in the process of trying to get revenge or whatever it is you are planning on Bobbie. Don't do it Carly…whatever it is you're planning don't do it because I promise you that in the end Bobbie won't be the only one hurt. Getting revenge won't take away the pain you're feeling because Bobbie didn't keep you."
Carly stands silent for a moment just staring at him with pain in her eyes "She hurt me Jason…I don't know if I can forgive her for giving me away. I don't know how to just drop it; I can't so don't ask me to. I just need you to be my friend and be there for me when I need you…can you just do that for me and not give me any lectures please."
Exhaling a breath, Jason nods and simply says "I can do that…and when this plan of yours blows up in your face I won't say I told you so…" he walks over to her and gives her a hug
Carly wraps her arms around him hugging him in return as she says "Thank you…" lowering her hands releasing him from their hug she tells him "I'm going to Luke's Club tonight you wanna come with? Bobbie invited me to come."
"You're going to Luke's" Jason asks with a slight smirk then says "Have you met Luke yet?"
"No…why?"
"Luke is a character…"
Cutting him off, Carly says "Bobbie said the same thing…who is this guy that's got you both warning me off of him."
"Let's just say he's very eccentric..." Jason tries to explain as he says with a little chuckle but then gets serious as he tells her "But fair warning Carly…if you're planning on going through with your plans for Bobbie then you'd better watch out for Luke. He's very protective of his sister and if he suspects you're out to get her he won't think twice about paying you back."
"Okay…I hear you and I promise I will be careful around the guy but I'm not gonna run away scared of him either because just like I told your boss Sonny I can handle anything he throws at me."
"Don't say I didn't warn you…" Jason tells her
"Do you want to come with me or not?"
"Sure…but you're gonna have to go without me and I'll come later. I have a shipment I have to oversee first."
"Okay that's fine…" Carly says and then places a kiss on his cheek before walking over to the door. She turns around to look at him once she opens the door and says "I'll see you later."
"Yeah…see ya." Jason says and watches as she closes the door "This should be an interesting evening." Looking down at the phone that was still in his hand, Jason quickly dials Sonny's number again…he needed to do some damage control after that showdown Sonny just had with Carly. When the phone just rings and rings with no one answering it, Jason curses "Damn! Sonny why aren't you picking up?" he asks out loud to himself
There is a knock on the door and Jason looks over as the door opens and Benny comes walking inside "Benny…what can I do for you?"
"Just some papers I need you to sign off on…" Benny hands Jason the papers and he goes to sit at the desk to sign them. As Jason signs the papers, Benny asks "Hey since it's almost lunch time did you want to go grab a bite at Kelly's?"
Handing the papers back to him, Jason says "Sure…" he sighs as he is still wondering why Sonny was not answering the phone.
~About 5 Hours Later~
It was almost quitting time for the workers at the warehouse; Jason and Benny were standing talking about work stuff when they both get a surprise neither of them were expecting to see…the one and only Sonny Corinthos walking over towards them. Jason had to do a double take when he saw what Sonny was wearing; he had on jeans with a open white shirt and a black wife-beater t-shirt underneath. His hair wasn't tamed back with gel like it usually is…no instead it was curly and disheveled. His face needed a shave too since he hadn't shaved since he left Port Charles to go to the Island…
"Sonny…is that you?" Jason asks
"Boss? I didn't recognize you there for a minute…" Benny says
"Yeah it's me who else would I be?" Sonny snaps back with attitude
"Well it's just that…we didn't uh…recognize you from your uh…appearance…" Jason tells him
"Yeah uh, I've never seen you wear jeans before boss…" Benny adds in
Looking down at his state of dress, Sonny nods in reluctant agreement then says "Well I didn't really have time to change…I just got on the next flight out and here I am." looking at Benny, Sonny says "Could you give Jason and me a minute…"
"Yeah sure of course Boss…I was on my way home anyway." Benny smiles then give Sonny's shoulder a little pat "Good to have you back."
Once Benny was gone, Sonny is the first to speak "So where is she?" he looks around
Wondering who he was talking about, Jason asks "Where is who? Brenda? She actually left town with Robin and went to Paris with her."
"Not Brenda I don't give a damn where she's at!"
"Who are you talking about then?"
"Don't act dumb Jason you know who I'm talking about…your new roommate! The one that hung up in my face on the phone earlier today!"
Jason could not believe it…did Sonny just come back home to Port Charles because Carly had the guts to talk back to him and hang up in his face.
"You mean to tell me you came back home just to confront Carly because she hung up the phone in your face."
"Damn right I did…no one talks to me like the way she did Jason" Sonny replies and then says "And then she had the nerve to hang the phone up in my face."
Jason had to laugh at his reason for coming back to Port Charles "Wow…Carly had that much of an effect on you just because she talked back to you and hung up in your face." he smirks
"I came back to reclaim my life…" Sonny tells him and then says "It's been long enough with me sulking with my tail between my legs over Brenda; it's over, I'm never gonna see her again and it's past time to move on."
"Good"
"I also came back to teach your little friend a lesson she'll never forget…" Sonny replies "Just who the hell does she think she is?! No way in hell is she getting away with that crap she pulled on the phone with me earlier."
"Sonny in all fairness you called her a bitch so she lashed back out at you…"
"I don't care…she's still not getting away with it." Sonny tells him "So where is she at?"
"I don't know…probably shopping. She's going out tonight at Luke's Club."
"Luke's…she's going there tonight?" When Jason nods yes, Sonny says "Good then I'll see her there tonight."
"Tell me you're gonna at least shave and change your clothes…" Jason says with a little laugh "The Sonny Corinthos I know would never go out in public or let alone go meet up with a woman while looking like a bum."
Taking another look back down at his appearance, Sonny looks back up and says "You're right…" they both laugh a little and then he says "I'm gonna go back to the penthouse shower and change…"
"And shave…" Jason tells him
Giving his unshaven faces a scratch, Sonny says "Yeah that too…" he smirks then says "I'll go home and get ready for tonight. You're little friend is gonna regret the day she hung up in my face."
"Sonny please don't go overboard…Carly isn't the type of woman to just not go off on you if you provoke her; and trust me you don't want to get on her bad side."
"If she's so awful then why are you friends with her?"
"She's not awful she's just misunderstood at times…she's funny and hot and fiercely loyal to those she cares about."
"Wait, wait go back to the she's hot part Jason…" Sonny says then pauses for a moment before asking "Did you sleep with her?"
A brief moment of silence passes between them before Jason finally answers "Yes…but it was only when I went down to Florida that last time before you left to go to the Island. We haven't been together in that way since then…we're just friends."
"Just friends huh…you sure about that?"
"Yeah I'm sure…we're just friends. We decided that if we were gonna be friends that we shouldn't have sex anymore so we're not. When I first met Carly I didn't even know her name and every time we were together we never exchanged names…we'd just meet up, play pool, drink beers and have…"
"I get it Jason, no need to paint me a picture here." Sonny tells him
Jason gets a thought and then says "You know you and Carly are a lot alike…in fact if you weren't so into brunettes I'd say you and Carly would be perfect together. Neither of you will take each other's crap from the other and you both have hot tempers but you are good to those that are good to you and you both are extremely loyal."
"Geese Jason you make me sound like a loyal pet or something…"
"I'm just saying for you to give Carly a chance…"
"After the way she talked to me on the phone Jason…I don't think so." Sonny shakes his head and then says "Wait I thought the other time I talked to you on the phone you said her name was Caroline; why do you keep calling her Carly?"
"Because Caroline is her real name but she doesn't like to be called that anymore…"
"Why? Is she hiding something? Did you have Benny check her out?"
"No she's not hiding anything and yes of course I had her checked out; standard procedure and before you ask she's clean so you don't have to worry about her."
"Then why doesn't she like to be called Caroline?"
"Something to do about a friend of hers that died a long time ago in a car accident…her friend's name was Carly."
"What the hell? She took her dead friend's name Jason…that's sick."
"Look you don't know Carly yet so before you go to Luke's tonight and get up in her face about hanging up on you I think you should at least take the time to get to know her…who knows you may like her."
With a scoff, Sonny says "I'd doubt that…besides like you said she's not my type. I don't go for blonds." He turns around and starts walking to the exit of the warehouse
"Maybe a change will do you good" Jason calls out to him and then laughs while shaking his head
Luke's Blues Club
The gypsy woman told my mother
Before I was born
You got a boy child's comin'
He's gonna be a son of a gun
He gonna make pretty women
Jump and shout
Then the world wanna know
What this all about?
The blues sounds of the Muddy Water's song Hoochie Coochie Man fills the club as the faithful patrons of Luke's Blues Club are dancing on the dance floor, drinking and smoking at the bar and all around just having a good time.
"Now that's good music Barbra Jean…" Luke says to his sister as comes walking up to the bar "Give me the blues anytime I tell ya! They don't make good music like this no more" taking out a cigar and a lighter Luke asks as he light it up "So darlin what will it be?"
"Hey there big brother" Bobbie smiles and then says "Uh, I'll have a white wine."
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the, Hoochie Coochie Man
Everybody knows I'm him
Putting his cigar between his teeth, Luke pours Bobbie's drink and sides it over in front of her "So what brings you out tonight little sister?" he asks
"What a sister can't come and see her favorite big brother" Bobbie asks with a little laugh
"Nice try Barbra Jean I'm your only brother…shouldn't you be at home with the good Dr. Jones or knitting booties or baking cookies or whatever it is you soccer moms do these days?"
"Ha, ha we soccer moms can have fun too…" Bobbie tells him and then says "And to answer your question since tonight is not a school night, Lucas is at a sleep over and Tony is still at the hospital but he may stop by later. As for me, this soccer mom is supposed to be meeting a friend…well she's actually a new tenant of mine at the Brownstone. I invited her out to celebrate her getting a job at GH and moving in to her own place."
"New tenant?" Luke asks "What's her name and is she pretty?"
"What does her being pretty or not have to do with anything?" Bobbie asks with little chuckle and a shake of her head as she stares at him
"Because Barbra Jean it's no fun flirting if the girl ain't pretty so if she's a dog then you're gonna have to give Chewbacca her walking papers."
Laughing, Bobbie replies "Luke you are too much! You're lucky I don't tell your wife about your constant need to flirt with anything in a skirt."
"Correction dear sister…anything pretty in a skirt." Luke winks and then takes a drag from his cigar "And besides my angel Laura knows I'm all talk; she's the only one that gets to ride on the Luke Spencer tunnel of love."
I got a black cat bone
I got a mojo too
I got the Johnny Conkeroo
I'm gonna mess with you
I'm gonna make you girls
Lead me by my hand
Then the world will know
That I'm a Hoochie Coochie Man
"So what's this new tenant's name and again is she pretty?"
"Yes she's gorgeous…she's a friend of Jason's she was staying with him for a little while until she could find a place of her own; her name is Carly Benson and she's going to be working at the hospital as a physical therapist."
"Physical therapist huh…that mean she can give me a physical."
Placing down her wine glass after taking a sip, Bobbie's eyes open wide "Now I'm really telling on you!" she points at him waving her finger side to side
"No wait I take that back if she's a physical therapist then that means she has to touch wrinkled old men to help them with their arthritis…" Luke scrunches his brow "No thanks I'll pass."
Laughing "You are crazy you know that" Bobbie laughs at him shaking her head
"Whaaaat, it's the truth..."
"You just behave yourself when Carly gets here…"
"Yes, ma'am"
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know I'm the, Hoochie Coochie Man
Everybody knows I'm him
Looking over to the door as it opens, Luke lets out a long whistle when he sees a gorgeous blond in a sexy red dress come strutting inside the club…she had a leather jacket on at first but when she took it off she definitely got his attention with the way she was wearing that red clingy dress that hugged her figure very nicely.
"Now there's a looker! Haven't seen her in here before…" Luke says
Bobbie turns around to see who he was whistling at "There's Carly now…"
"That's Carly your new tenant?"
"Pretty enough for you?" Bobbie smirks
"You better go over and get her before the wolves start circling around the fresh meat…" Luke tells her "The way she's looking in that dress she's liable to start a riot in here…the men will trip over their women to get to her and the women will want to scratch her eyes out. I can't have my club all busted up because you know I'm not paying for anyone's medical bills that's gets into a bar fight in here."
Ignoring her crazy brother, Bobbie waves at Carly to get her attention from two guys that had already gone over to talk to her as she walked her way through the crowd on the dance floor.
"Carly…over here" Bobbie calls out to her
On the seventh hours
On the seventh day
On the seventh month
The seven doctors say
You was born for good luck
And that you'll see
I got seven hundred dollars
And don't you mess with me
Hearing someone call her name, Carly looks up and sees Bobbie standing at the bar and waving for her to come over. The two guys she was talking to watch her as she leaves them to walk over to the bar…their eyes mainly focused on her backside as she left their company.
"Hey you made it…" Bobbie says as Carly comes to sit on the barstool next to her
"Yes, thanks for inviting me." Carly replies as she places her leather jacket down on the bar top
When Bobbie hears Luke's interruption of clearing his throat she shake her head at him and rolls her eyes then says "Carly I'd like you to meet my brother, Luke Spencer."
Luke reaches out his hand over the bar to shake hers "Well darlin I gotta say you certainly know how to make an entrance; those two bozos over there are still staring at ya and salivating all over my floor."
Carly shakes his hand and smiles "So you're Luke…Jason told me about you."
"Morgan? I trust he had only good things to say about me…"
Carly and Bobbie pass a look at each other with a grin and then she looks back at him before saying "Weeeell he said you were eccentric; but I told him I'd judge for myself."
"There you go darlin…that's my kinda girl; don't believe everything you here even though it may be true. So what can I get ya?"
"A beer would be great…"
But you know I'm him
Everybody knows I'm him
Well you know we're the Hoochie Coochie boy
The whole round world knows we here
As the song ends another blues hit begins to play as Luke places Carly's beer in front of her and she takes a swig of it; Carly and Bobbie sat talking at the bar for a while. Carly had it all planned in her head what she was going to do; she would play nice and get Bobbie to like and be friends with her…that way she could get her to trust her and that way she could find the best way to make her pay for giving her up. She wasn't sure just yet what she was going to do but that is why she needed to befriend her first.
Bobbie told Carly about her son Lucas and about her husband Tony and also about the best places in and around Port Charles to go. Carly of course didn't tell her that she was her daughter but she did exchange conversation with her about growing up in Florida. After they talked and drank their drinks for a while, Bobbie told Carly to go out and have some fun on the dance floor; she was young, gorgeous and had the attention of all the guys in the club anyway so she might as well go dance and have fun.
Hopping off of the barstool, Carly scans the club as she tries to see if Jason was there yet; he had told her that he would come later after he oversaw a shipment. To her disappointment, he wasn't there yet so she decided to occupy her time dancing with some guy that came up to her; he was cute at least she thought to herself but nowhere near hot as her soon the be ex roommate.
Bobbie smiles when she sees her husband, Tony Jones walk inside the club…she walks over to him, gives him a hug and a kiss and then they start to dance. While dancing she tells him about Carly being their new tenant and about her getting a job at the hospital. Tony looks over to Carly dancing with some guy…at that moment Carly looked over and saw some guy dancing with Bobbie; she assumed it was her husband. She tells herself that he wasn't all that cute but maybe she could use him as her way to get back at Bobbie. Carly gives him a smile as she continues dancing with her dancing partner and Tony smiles back at her as he was definitely liking how she was looking in the sexy dress she was wearing. With the way he was looking back at her Carly inwardly tells herself that she definitely had an "IN" to get back at Bobbie.
A.J. Quartermaine comes walking into the club…he walks over to the bar and pounds his fist on the bar top as he says "Vodka straight up."When Luke doesn't budge or say anything to him, A.J. pounds his fist again and says "Are you deaf?! I said give me a vodka straight."
"You talking to me because I'm not the bartender I'm just the owner; in fact where is that bumble head Claude at anyway?" Luke grumbles and then yells "CLAAAAAAAUUUUDDDEE! Wherever the hell you are you better get back to work or your fired!"
"Must be hard to get good help these days…" A.J. says
Luke looks at him with an annoyed look "What are you doing here anyway Junior? I thought the country club circuit or the Port Charles Grill was more your speed."
"I like to mix it up a little…" A.J. replies and then says "Now can I get that vodka?"
Luke pours the drink and slides it down to him "Shouldn't you be in a AA meeting or something?"
"Hey I'm not drunk…and I have cut back on my drinking…moderation is the key."
"Yeah moderation my Fat Aunt Fanny…" Luke tells him not buying his moderation drinking bit for one second "So if you're only drinking in moderation why are you at a club and the first thing you order is vodka?"
"Why Luke I didn't know you cared so much…"
"I don't, I just don't want you getting sloppy drunk in my establishment and start a bar fight or whatever and then I have to pay to pour you into a cab. Well I'm telling you right now that's not gonna happen…if you get drunk and pass out I'm gonna set you on the corner with a sign that says spoiled rich kid – Drunk and Stupid!"
Ignoring him, A.J. downs the vodka and then turns around looking out into the crowd on the dance floor. He smiles when he sees a smoking hot blond that he'd never seen before…he thinks to himself that if he played his cards right maybe he'd get lucky tonight. He sits at the end of the bar and watches her dance…
Once again the door opens but this time in walks Sonny Corinthos…the women in the club immediately took notice of him as they went weak in the knees of how sexy he was looking. Yeah sure he was a Mob Boss but damn he was looking sexy as hell dressed in a black Armani suit with a deep dark grey shirt…his hair was tamed and slicked back and his face was newly shaven.
Seeing Luke at the bar, Sonny walks over "Luke…long time no see."
"Hey partner…haven't seen you in a while."
"Been out of town…just got back today." Sonny tells him
"Well it's good to have you back…listen next time you get a chance you need to check the books cause you know I hate to do them."
"Why don't you just let Benny do it?"
"Because Benny isn't my partner, you are so you do it!"
Shaking his head, Sonny goes on to say "Get me a scotch will ya…"
"What the hell do I look like to you people? Just because I'm standing behind the bar doesn't mean I'm at your beck and call. And where the hell is Claude at?! That bumble head went on break twenty minutes ago and hasn't come back yet!" Luke grumbles and then pours Sonny's drink "So what brings you out tonight if you just got back from out of town?"
"I'm supposed to be meeting up with Jason here…"
"Oh yeah, well he's not here yet…although his pretty little roommate that is now my sister's new tenant at the Brownstone is here."
That got Sonny attention immediately "She's here? Where?"
Luke points out onto the dance floor as he says "She's the smokin' hot blond in the red dress that's dancing with that Brad Pitt wannabe over there."
Turning around to see her, Sonny looks over to where Luke was pointing. His eyes slowly scan her body from head to toe and back up again…he didn't realize he was doing it but Sonny was unconsciously wetting his suddenly dry lips and his eyes drank in the sight of her. He had to admit to himself that she was damn hot…but how could that be since he didn't usually go for blonds.
For some reason this blond was having some strange effect on him; he watches her for a few more minutes and then makes the decision to go introduce himself and then do what he came there to do which was teach her a lesson that no one talks to Michael Sonny Corinthos Jr. the way she did and get away with it! However before Sonny got a chance to go over to her A.J. made it their first…he stands back and watches them.
Just as Carly was ending her dance with the guy she was with she bumps into another guy; looking up at him she kind of looked familiar to her but she didn't know him.
"Well aren't you going to say excuse me?"
A.J. smiles at her then says "Well you're the one that bumped into me so maybe you should say it." When he sees that she's not liking his response and then tries to walk around him he quickly adds in as he steps to the side preventing her from blowing him off "Okay, alright you're right…I'll say it. Excuse me."
Crossing her arms over her chest, Carly says "That's better…"
"So would you care to dance?"
Carly didn't really want to dance with him…he seemed like one of those arrogant rich country club snobs; yeah he was kind of cute and for some reason he reminded her of someone but she just couldn't put her finger on it just yet. "Well actually I just got finished dancing for a long time now and my feet are starting to hurt so…"
Cutting her off, A.J. says "Come on…I watched you dance with everyone else so why not me?" he smiles "Just one dance and I promise you won't regret it..." taking her hand he walks her back onto the dance floor
"Really because I'm already starting to regret even talking to you in the first place…" Carly says annoyed
Turning around to face her, A.J. pulls her to him and places his hands on her hips "There now that's better isn't it."
"Not really…" Carly says then tells him "You know I'd really like to sit this one out if you don't mind."
Keeping his hands on her hips holding her in place, A.J. says "We're already dancing…see this is fun." he dances her around in a circle
"I said I don't want to dance not let me go…" Carly tells him wanting to get away from him…she tries to wiggle free of his hold but he keeps his grip on her
"Why are you fighting me when you know you really want to dance with me?"
Seeing the scene on the dance floor between Carly and A.J., Sonny quickly jumps up and puts his hand on A.J.'s shoulder and pulls him back off of Carly.
"I believe the lady made it clear she doesn't want to dance with you Junior." Sonny tells him while staring him down with a look that would kill "Back off!"
Since A.J. wasn't a fighter he knew not to go against Sonny especially with that look he was giving him; Carly on the other hand stood watching her savior and she had to admit that it turned her on to watch him scare off the jerk that just had his hands on her and wouldn't let her go. Yes he was definitely a sexy man and even more definite that he was the hottest guy in the club for that matter.
Holding up his hands in surrender A.J. backs up with a devilish little grin but before leaving the club all together he looks at Carly and says… "It's a little crowded in here so I'm going to leave but maybe if I'm lucky I'll see you later."
"Don't count on it creep!" Carly tells him as he walks away towards the door and storms out
Turning to face the olive tone skinned man, Carly says "Thanks but I had it handled…I'm not the type of girl that needs a white knight to run to her rescue."
"Believe me I'm nobody's white night sweetheart…" Sonny tells her and then says "A.J. was out of line he shouldn't have had his hands on you like that. I was over by the bar and even though I couldn't hear what you two were saying I could tell by your body language that you didn't like him touching you."
Yes Sonny came to Luke's tonight to confront and teach Carly a lesson but when he saw the way A.J. was touching on her and her try to pull away from him he couldn't stand by and allow that to continue. He'd witnessed his mother being abused by his step father countless times when he was a kid and couldn't do anything to help her. He may not like Carly but he never wanted to see a woman be abused by a man again.
"A.J.?" Carly asks and then says "That was A.J.? As in A.J. Quartermaine?"
"Yeah…you didn't know who you were dancing with?"
"No he never told me his name he just came over acting like it was a privilege for me to dance with him or something."
"That's A.J. for you…next time be careful who you talk to."
"Should I be careful now talking to you?" Carly asks
Flashing his dimples, Sonny says "Maybe…" he tells her then says "You're looking daaamn good in that dress…I can see why Junior wanted to dance with you." he knew he was suppose to be going off on her but he couldn't deny the fact that she was a sexy woman for a blond
Although that didn't mean he was letting her off the hook by any means…it's just that right now he was having fun with this little flirting game they had going on. Maybe he would use this attraction to get Jason to see that she was a tramp and he wouldn't have anything more to do with her. He didn't care what Jason said about them not having sex anymore and just being friends…how in the hell could he just be friends with a woman his hot after he had no name sex with her.
"Do you want to dance with me?" Carly ask with a little flirty smile
Taking a step closer to her, Sonny lightly wets his lips then says "Depends…"
"On what?" Carly takes a step towards him
"You…" Sonny closes the small space between them entering her personal space; they are now standing face to face but not touching. Their eyes meet entranced by the other "Do you wanna dance…or do you wanna dance"
"What's the difference?" Carly ask in a soft tone
"You have to ask…" Sonny asks with a little laugh and a flash of his dimples
Sonny places one hand onto her hip and the other at the small of her back and pulls her body against his…Carly lightly nibbles on her bottom lip and then places her hands onto his chest and gives him a little push back to put some space between them. Sonny drops his hands from her body but before he could say anything Carly places a finger to his lips.
"Shhhhh…don't move I'll be right back."
"Where are you goin?" Sonny asks
"Give me a quarter…" Carly tells him
Reaching into his pocket, Sonny says with a little laugh "If you're going to Luke's jukebox you're gonna need more than one quarter."
"So give me whatever it is I need and I promise I'll be back."
Sonny gives her a couple of quarters to use in the jukebox and she gives him a little sexy smile before turning around and walking to the other side of the room making sure to say her hips to give him something to look at.
She definitely had Sonny's attention…and not to mention the attention of Luke standing at the bar grinning and others on the dance floor including Bobbie and Tony. Luke, Bobbie and Tony witnessed the confrontation between Sonny and A.J. but now they were intrigued with the floor show Sonny and Carly were putting on.
Bobbie and Tony have completely stopped dancing now and they walk back over to the bar where Luke was.
Luke just grins and says "Little sister it looks like you and your new tenant have something in common…you both got a thing for bad boys…first Junior Quartermaine and now Don Corleone over there." He laughs and then looks over to his brother in law Tony who was anything but a bad boy "Oops I take that back…my little sister's thing for bad boys ended when she married you Doc Bro in-law."
Bobbie give Luke a hush up look as she tells him "Will you hush up already…we're trying to watch the floor show going on. Looks like Carly and Sonny definitely have an attraction between them."
"Somebody should tell her he's a mobster…" Tony adds in "We wouldn't want her to get hurt because of Sonny and the violence that surrounds him."
Luke looks at Tony and sees the look in his eyes as he watches Carly…he didn't say anything to Bobbie but he was getting the feeling that his Doc Bro in-law was paying a little too much attention to Carly. Maybe he was just seeing something that wasn't there Luke tells himself but he also tells himself to keep a close eye on Tony whenever he's around Carly just in case.
Sonny watched Carly as she walked over to the jukebox and placed her hands on its sides as she leans down looking for a song to play. He was enjoying the view she was presenting to him of her backside in the dress she's wearing. His inner thoughts began to become conflicted with what she was making him feel…he hadn't felt this alive in a long time.
Wait a minute what the hell am I doing? I'm not supposed to be liking the woman! Well she is one hell of a looker and I am a man with needs who hasn't been with a woman in months…yeah, yeah I'll use her to fulfill those needs and get Jason to drop kick her to the curb. It will be like killing two birds with one stone.
Looking through the selection on the jukebox, Carly was almost beginning to give up since the jukebox was filled with nothing but old blues music…yeah this was a blues club but Luke could at least have some other variety of music to choose from she tells herself. Then she sees the perfect song…Joe Cocker's Leave Your Hat On. Putting the money in the jukebox, Carly presses the button for the song she chose and then turns around to see Sonny still staring at her as the song began to play.
Baby take off your coat…real slow
Take off your shoes
I'll take off your shoes girl
Take off your dress yes, yes, yes
Carly walks back over to him and Sonny stands watching her come towards him…he nods his head to the music a little in anticipation for her to close the distance between them.
Luke and Bobbie watched while grinning like two Cheshire cats…this was definitely some attraction going on between those two, Bobbie tells herself as she continues watching them along with everyone else in the club who was pretending not to but really were.
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
Now standing in front of him, Carly places her hands onto his chest and Sonny places his hands as they were before with one on her hip and the other at the small of her back.
He pulls her close so there was no space between them…
She could feel the effect she was having on him pressed up against her thigh; she wraps her arms around his shoulders and neck…
They stare into each other's eyes as their bodies began to move to the beat of the music…
Go over there turn on the lights, all the lights
Come over here, stand on that chair
Baby that's right
Raise your arms up in the air
And now shake em
Sonny looks down at her slightly parted lips and then back up into her eyes as he says in a low sexy tone "You know you're playing with fire don't you? You don't even know me and you're dancing this close…"
"Does it bother you being this close to me?"
"Hell no…" Sonny replies
With a sexy little laugh, Carly softly says "Good…"leaning into his lips so they are inches apart she says as she continues to look into his eyes "I can feel how hot you are for me…its pressing against my thigh."
"Does that bother you?" Sonny asks
Repeating his words, Carly says "Hell no"
"Good" he flashes his dimples
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
You give me reason to live
Carly's fingers start to play with his hair at the back of his head…
Sonny holds her body oh so close to his as the hand that was on her hip slides back to her ass giving it a light squeeze while his other hand gently caresses up and down her back…
They were dancing so close and so intimately…
Neither noticed the looks they were getting from the other patrons of the club…
It was if they were the only two in the place…
Their bodies move together as they slowly dance around in a circle and their hearts begin to quicken at the sexual attraction between them…
Back over at the bar, Tony says "Uh it looks like those two have forgotten they are in a public establishment."
With a little giggle, Bobbie says "Looks like it" she grins then says "I almost think I should turn away…we shouldn't be watching this."
"Hush your mouth Barbra-Jean…do you know how much it costs to buy good porn these days? This here is free!" Luke says as he watches and then takes a drag of his cigar.
Sweet darling
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on baby
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
"So was this the kind of dancing you were talking about before…or were you talking about something else?" Carly asks
With a little hum, Sonny lightly wets his lips again showing her a flash of his wet tongue and then says in a low sexy tone "Something else…"
"Oh yeah…" Carly says then asks "Something else like what?"
"Mmmmm…something like this…"
Leaning into her neck, Sonny began to place hot wet kisses up and down until he heard her soft moan escape her lips…
Carly's eyes flutter closed "What else?" she asks while leaning her head to the side giving him more access
Sonny flicks his tongue at her earlobe then gives it a slight tug as his hand on her ass gives it another squeeze and pushes her even more into his rock hard pistol he was packing in his pants.
"Something like that…" Sonny whispers into her ear
His heated breath against her skin turned her on even more if it were possible…
Bobbie puts her hands over her eyes but leaves some space between her fingers for peeking; Tony on the other hand stood there with his jaw practically on the floor as he watched the two dance sexily for the whole club to see. Luke stood grinning with his cigar between the side of his teeth…to say he was enjoying the floor show would be an understatement.
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is
"Anything else?" Carly asks then says "Song is almost over…"
"Yeah…" Sonny says and then leans back from kissing her neck; Carly opens her eyes and they stare into each other's as he says "How about this…"
Lifting his hands from her body, Sonny frames her face in the palms of his hands and pulls her lips to his for a sizzzzzzzling hot and demanding kiss. Carly moans into his mouth as he kisses her breathless…she could feel her knees go weak and was glad that she had her arms wrapped around him so she wouldn't fall.
"Okay maybe we should stop this…I mean they are drawing quite a crowd." Bobbie says as she continues peeking through her fingers.
"Don't you dare Barbra-Jean this is probably the most action Corinthos has gotten in months since him and Brenda broke up…and hey Carly is new in town so she needs a sugar daddy and Don Corleone fits the bill. Let them have their fun!"
Sonny lowers his hands back down her body to her hips…he slides his hands to her back and caresses up and down and even further down to her ass again. Carly lowers her hands as well and places them underneath his suit jacket where she runs her hands up and down his back as their heated kiss never missed a beat. Damn the things this man was making her feel; she'd never had a kiss like this before with any other man not even Jason back when they were having no name sex in Florida. He was making her so wet for him with just one kiss…
Luke couldn't help but laugh at the free porn he was watching…
Hearing that the song was winding down, Luke yells out "Hey Corinthos! Get A Room Why Don't Ya! Otherwise I'm gonna have to charge my customers for the Porn Show you two got goin on over there!"
Not a second later did Carly abruptly pull back from their kiss and push him back some so she could look him in the eyes as she asks "Corinthos?! You're Sonny Corinthos?!"
Sonny groans in frustration at the loss of her lips when she ended the kiss but when he realized that she figured out who he was because of Luke's big mouth all he wanted to do was go over to the bar and rip his tongue out!
Lowering his hands from her body since it was apparent that their make out session was over thanks to Luke's big mouth "Yeah…that's me." Sonny admits to her then says "I'm Sonny Corinthos…."
If looks could kill Sonny would be six feet under right about now; this was the man that called her a bitch on the phone earlier today! How dare he kiss her like that when he was calling her all sorts of names and bitching to her over the phone earlier today?!
"You son of a bitch how dare you!" Carly says as she raises her hand and slaps him across the face
With the slap, Sonny's face turns to the side…he places a hand to his stinging cheek to give it a rub as he turns back to look at her. He half expected the slap but he still was taken aback from it; his eyes bulge out as his temper starts to get the better of him as he stares straight at her with a look that scared grown men in the "business".
Lowering his hand from his cheek, Sonny tells her "Don't ever do that again."
"Don't ever kiss me again!" Carly snaps back at him "Where the hell do you get off kissing me like that when only a couple hours ago you were calling me a bitch and yelling at Jason to kick me out?!"
Looking around the club and noticing for the first time all the eyes that were on them, Sonny says "You know what Caroline I think we should take this some place private…"
"Don't call me that! My name is Carly or do you got so much wax in your ears that you've gone deaf and can't hear me!"
Taking her hand, Sonny says "Let's go back to the office…"
Snatching he hand away from him, Carly says "I'm not going anywhere with you!"
Luke chimes in "Uh Partner I don't think you want to go in there anyway…not unless you like the smell of dirty socks and half empty Chinese takeout boxes."
No way Sonny was going in that pigsty now...
Taking her hand once again, Sonny says "Come on lets go to my limo…"
Carly once again snatches her hand out of his as she fires back at him "You must be deaf because I thought I told you I wasn't going anywhere with…"
Before she could finish her sentence good, Sonny picks her up over his shoulder and carries her out of the club kicking and screaming all the way!
"Hey put me down you asshole!" Carly screams then yells out "Someone call the cops! He's kidnapping me! Isn't anyone gonna do anything! Don't just stand there!"
No one said a word or made a move to call the cops as Carly pleaded for help…they knew that if they did call the cops that they would be on the bad side of one very pissed off mob boss and nobody wanted that.
Tony Jones looks at his wife as he takes out his cell phone and says "Bobbie maybe we should call the police…"
"No Sonny will handle the situation with Carly once they are alone without distractions; Sonny wouldn't hurt her he's not that type of man. Whatever is going on between them hopefully they will be able to work it out because it will be a shame for them not to since it is obvious the attraction they have going on between them…we just witnessed it not two minutes ago with that sexy dance and the floor melting kiss they put on display for everyone to see." Bobbie tells him and then says "No cops so put away your phone…"
"That's right Doc Bro In-law we Spencer's don't call the cops we're allergic to 'em! So if you're gonna be part of this family you gotta learn the rules….rule number one is don't go against the family and rule number two is never call the cops! We take care of our own…"
"Is there a rule number three I should know about?" Tony asks with a little laugh not believing what he was hearing
"Yeah smart mouth there is…" Luke snaps back
Both Luke and Bobbie look at each other and then back at Tony as they both say "Never Call The Cops!"
"Okay, okay I know when I'm beat…I won't call the cops" Tony says while putting away his cell phone
With a nod of his head, Luke says "There may be hope for you yet Doc Bro In-law…"
Inside Sonny's Limo
After carrying her over his shoulder out of the club, Sonny tells Johnny to open the door as he walked as fast as he could over to the limo while being careful not to drop her with all the kicking and screaming she was doing.
Once he has her inside the limo, Sonny closes the door and says "What the hell were you thinking causing a scene like that back there?!"
"Oh you mean like the scene you cause when you carried me out of there like some sort of caveman!" Carly yells back and then says "Why didn't you tell me who you were?! I never would have let you kiss me if…"
Cutting her off, Sonny says "So what you rather go around kissing complete strangers instead? Or maybe I should call that drunk A.J. back!"
"It doesn't matter because it's never gonna happen again! I hate you!" Carly yells
"You don't know me and besides I'm the one that needs to be upset!"
"Oh you mean like you didn't know me when you were cussing me out and calling me names on the phone?!" Carly reminds him
"Look Caroline…"
"And STOP CALLING ME THAT! My name is Carly!"
"Caroline suits you better so that's what I'm gonna call you…"
"No you're not! You're not gonna call me anything because I don't want anything to do with you! Now let me out of this limo!" Carly reaches for the door handle next to the side she was sitting on
Sonny quickly maneuvers to take hold of her hand but Carly fights him all the way and they begin a little tussling match in the back of the limo...he was trying to keep her from opening the door and she was doing everything to get it open. They were practically rolling around the back of the limo with their bodies entangled and pressed so close together just like they were when they were dancing on the dance floor inside Luke's.
It wasn't too long before Sonny had her pinned down underneath him on the length of the seat; they were both out of breath from all the tussling and rolling around; he stares down at her while breathing hard and she stares back up at him breathing just as hard too.
"What is it you want?" Carly asks then says "Remember you don't like me either…you called me a bitch."
"I may not like you but that doesn't mean I don't like you" Sonny says with a sexy dimpled grin…
Both are still breathing hard and trying to catch their breaths as they just look at each other with the position they are still in with him having her pinned down to the seat. The sexual tension was crackling around them like a newly lit fire in a fireplace.
"If that dance and that kiss is any evidence then I'd say you kinda like me a little bit." Sonny says with a little smirk
"Yeah well I didn't know what your name was before so that doesn't count" Carly tells him and then asks "Why did you come back all of a sudden?"
"To teach you a lesson little girl…no one talks to me the way you did and live to tell the tale."
"So what are you gonna do…huh…you gonna fit me with cement shoes just because I bruised your ego little man."
"No I'm just gonna remind Jason what a tramp you are because he seems to have forgotten since you two stopped having no name sex."
"He told you about that?"
"Jason tells me everything he's a loyal friend; and once he remembers what you really are then he won't have any problems with kicking you to the curb and out of his life."
"Jason's my friend too and you won't be able to turn him against me."
"We'll see about that." Sonny retorts back
Getting an idea, Carly smiles flirtatiously and then says "You're right…we will"
Placing her hands on the sides of his face, Carly pulls him down to her lips for a kiss. Sonny's tongue enters her mouth and swirls around with hers as hums a little tune and puts everything he had into the kiss. Carly accepts his weight on top of her body as she hugs her arms around his back under his suit jacket running her fingers up and down feeling his muscles underneath his shirt.
When Carly started to try to take off his suit jacket, Sonny pulls back from her kiss bruised lips and sits up on his knees. He makes quick work to take off the jacket and throw it down to the floor as he stares down at her looking up at him; their eyes mirrored each other with the passion and lust they were feeling in this moment. Carly unfastens his belt, unbuttons his pants then lowers his zipper…
With his dimples on full display as he watched her claw at his pants to get them undone, Sonny grins at her then says "Impatient aren't we Caroline…don't worry I'll take it slow so you can savor it and have something to remember after Jason throws you out on your pretty little ass."
Making a move to sit up and push him back so he's in a seated position, Carly straddles his lap and Sonny places his hands onto her ass giving it a squeeze.
Leaning into his mouth, Carly is just inches away from his lips as she tells him "How many times to I have to tell you not to call me Caroline…"
Carly captures his lips in a heated yet passionate kiss and Sonny accepts her lips upon his willingly. He moans into her mouth when she grinds her hips down on his ever ready pistol…she had him so hard he was about to burst.
Leaning back from his lips, Carly gives his bottom lip a little tug and then starts to work at unbuttoning his shirt.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa Caroline…slow down baby." Sonny tells her as he watches her quickly start unbuttoning his shirt.
"Why do you insist on calling me that?"
"Because I know you don't like it…" Sonny grins and then says "And because like I said before it suits you better."
Now that she has his shirt completely unbuttoned, Carly snatches it open to reveal his perfectly bronze chest and brown nipples. Sonny takes his shirt of the rest of the way and it joins his jacket on the floor seconds after that.
Shaking her head at his logic, Carly says "Whatever I don't want to argue anymore…"
"Then shut up and kiss me…" Sonny tells her…it was an order not a request
Sonny pulls her down to his lips for another kiss…Carly frames his face in the palm of her hands much like he did hers as their kiss began to deepen.
"Mmmmmm" Sonny moans and then does his little humming tune
Carly places a soft short but sweet kiss onto his lips and then trails kisses down his neck and to his chest. Sonny closes his eyes as he enjoys the feel of her lips kissing all over his chest and then moans out her name when he feels her tongue flicking his nipple then swirls around the now stiffened little nub. She gives his other nipple the same treatment and Sonny is loving it if the wide smile on his face was any evidence.
She had him right where she wanted him and he didn't even realize it…
After a few more kisses and flicks of her tongue over his nipples, Carly executes her plan as she BITES down on one of his nipples which causes Sonny to JUMP UP and start cursing up a STORM!
"SHITGODDAMNITFUCK!" Sonny curses out loud
While he was cursing and holding a hand over his poor throbbing nipple that was in pain, Carly uses that opportunity to open the door and jump out the back of the limo. As she looks for a cab to hail she sees of all people Jason riding up to the club on his motorcycle; she flags him down.
"Jason!" Carly calls out his name and waves her hand at him to hurry over to where she was
Seeing her waving like crazy at him, Jason stares at her like what the fuck is going on; as he gets closer he sees that her hair is a mess and she didn't have a jacket on out in the nights cold air. When Jason stops his bike in front of her, Carly quickly jumps on back and wraps her arms around his waist…
"Hurry, hurry let's go!" Carly tells him
Confused, Jason asks "What's going on? Why do you look like you were in a tornado or something? And where's your jacket?"
"Jase I'll explain it to you once we get back to the penthouse now shut the hell up and haul ass out of here now!"
Taking off his leather jacket, Jason hands it to her "Here put this on before you catch a cold."
Quickly putting on the jacket, Carly tells him "Now go! Hurry up, hurry up!" she pats his shoulder impatiently for him to get them the hell out of there.
Jason does as she ordered but as they take off he notices Sonny's limo sitting not far away from where he picked her up at. In that moment he got a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. With a sigh, Jason inwardly says to himself "Looks like Sonny's plan backfired and he was introduced to Carlybabes tonight instead…why do I get the feeling that I'm gonna be stuck in the middle? Heaven help us all!"
