CHAPTER 10
Walking with a swagger only Sonny Corinthos possessed, he breezed into Jason's penthouse, confident that Liz wasn't there. She was still at her grandmother's for Jason still couldn't decide how to handle the Elizabeth situation. Sure he had taken full responsibility for the baby to come, but Jason didn't know if he wanted Liz to be a part of his life...in that way. "Jason, we need to have a talk."

Jason, sitting on the couch with a beer in his hands, rose up, questions evident on his face. "Did she take it Sonny?". Sonny slowly looked at this man and could only feel pity for him, yet he had to do what he had to do. Smirking at Jason, he nodded his head. "Yeah, she took it. She also wanted to give something back."

Hope was unleashed into the air. Jason said, "Sonny, is she coming back? I knew she'd give us a chance. She can't give up more than two years." Turning around, Jason brought his hands through his hair. "All we have to do is find a way to..." Jason was suddenly brought out of his reverie when he was forcefully turned around only to hit the floor beneath him.

Flexing his hand, Sonny smirked. "Jase, you're a brother to me. That's why I had to bring you out of this daydream your living in. You offered her money. Remember what happened last time?". Throwing the remnants of the check at the man sitting, Sonny finally yelled, "Are you an idiot! You slept with another women, showed no regret and knocked your one night stand up. You think Sam'll come back?". Gazing up at him, Jason silently shook his head no. "I know that, Sonny. But it's hard to let go."

As the bright moonlight shone on to her face, Sam sighed and finally opened her tired eyes. She was thankful. No dreams of the harsh past...or of the present. She was also thankful that she wasn't alone.

Picking her head up shortly, Sam saw the beautiful face of Lucky and nearly cursed at her heart for jumping so quickly at the sight. Why did he have to be so goddayum handsome? Hoping that he wouldn't wake up because of what was to come, Sam layed a small kiss on his forehead. Sighing in content, Sam placed her head lightly onto his shoulder. Finally she felt safe. She hadn't completely blown it. Without a word, Sam rearranged herself, so that her back was now against Lucky's chest. Resting her head underneath his chin, Sam was ready to drift off to sleep until she heard a small chuckle.

Looking up again, Sam saw that Lucky was wide awake. Whispering, Sam said, "I thought you were sleeping?". Lucky, with a twinkle in his eye, retorted, "I thought you wanted to be friends. Now we're sleeping together... again."

Before Sam could reply, Lucky raised his hand to stop her. "Sure, we didn't have sex, but..." For the first time that night, Sam finally laughed. "It's good to see you laugh, Sam."

After her laughter subsided, Sam looked into the eyes she admired so much and asked the question that was on her mind since Lucky decided to show he was awake. "Did you hear the chair being thrown, or was I that loud? Cuz I had to be unless you're a light sleeper."

Smiling ever so slightly, Lucky answered, "I couldn't sleep. Dreams." That was all Sam needed to hear. Nodding her head, for they were in the same type of predicament, she rested her head once again on his shoulder and let silence take over. And they drifted off asleep, with their last thought on what tomorrow may bring. "Goodnight," both whispered before exhaustion finally overcame them both.

At the Penthouse, Jason was finding it hard to sleep. He was being tortured with the thought of how he pushed away every woman that cared for him some way or another. He didn't understand it. Deciding that he would have to succumb to drinking himself to sleep, Jason went off to get another beer. He was interrupted, however, when a knock at the door was heard.

Looking at the door, Jason decided it may be Carly, who may be coming to give him a smack for being an idiot and then talk to him. He was surprised when he opened the door. It was the last person he expected to see. "Brenda?"
