Own Nothing.

Chapter 10

Max and Francis were approaching the Counsel later tonight. Milo had never been so nervous. People stepping above their place in the mob could easily lead to death as well as Corinthos being tipped off to what was occurring. This could be the last morning he would spend with his brothers, one by blood and one through circumstance. Suddenly he understood why Mr. Corinthos was always telling him that he should keep Lulu away from him.

Sam had just walked into the penthouse. She could see the waste barrel Jason kept near the pool table and it was near overflowing with beer bottles. Jason is so hopeless. I mean without me he would still think that living this way was alright. Especially with Carly holding her stronger influence over him. I have to remember not to lose my temper at Jason. He just doesn't understand everything. The pressure his injury is under and all.

Carly wandered down the stairs and looked at Sam with annoyance. Sam was shocked to see her walk down the stairs. "What are YOU doing here?!" Sam cried.

"I don't know…visiting Jason." She said with contempt. "Last I checked you knew we were going to play pool last night."

"What's going on Carly?" Jason asked. He came down the stairs with only a pair of pants on.

"Jason, why aren't you dressed?" Sam said near hysterical.

"Okaaaaaaaaay, I have to be at work. Have fun with this Jase." Carly said. As she waited for the elevator she would here Sam start crying and the yelling would begin. And I thought my day would start bad…she smiled.

Jason called Carly around an hour later to tell her that Sam would probably try to make a scene sometime today. Lulu walked into her office as Carly commented to Jason, "Seriously, are you almost done with her yet? I mean I know she's cute in a sluttish kitten way, but she's also a pain in the ass. She doesn't trust you at all Jase. I don't get it especially after you didn't have sex for how much time while you were with Robin."

"Carly the situation is different. You know that we have a history that most people don't have and that most don't understand. Our life together has always made sense to us and we don't have to justify it, because it just is."

"Well, I don't like seeing some brunette midget yell at my best friend just because she has issues. It's not like you even asked her where she was all night so what's the big deal?" Carly noticed Lulu out of the corner of her eye and thought Crap, why now?

"I'll handle Sam. I have to go and I'll call you later to squeeze some time in with the boys."

"Bye, Jase."

After Carly had hung up she faced Lulu like it was a firing squad.

"You and Jason stayed the night together. TOGETHER together or just lame together?"

"Haha. I stayed over, because I was really drunk and Jax and I are over. That's all."

"That's all. Carly are you crazy? Jason's been having problems with Sam for months and you are not exactly sobbing hysterically over Jax. You're both quasi-single at the moment. This is perfect timing for you to get together."

"Well glad you don't have your own soap opera to get back to, oh wait you do with the three muskrats. Nice qualifier on quasi-single. I am sure that will help you pass English Lit. So do you want something or did you just want to fill the title of Bane of Carly's Existence for the Day?" Carly stated calmly, putting Lulu firmly in her place.

"Oh I made my choice. It's definitely Milo. I've been thinking about it for hours since my last test. And then I realized that everything even remotely romantic happens with Milo."

Hours? Damn glad I am not still her age. Seriously hours, it would have taken me week, thought Carly

"What do you mean?"

"I mean my palms sweat, stomach flutters, definite attraction with the muscularly pecs, and I am disappointed every time he can barely talk to me. And not just a little disappointed but like a lot disappointed you know. He so sweet and he is always surprising me. He's close to his family…" as she continued to ramble.

"Yeah, Milo. Got it. You could have just said he was hot. That would have been enough for me, I am not Lucky I don't need pedigree rundown." Carly said cutting in.

"Aren't you happy for me?"

"Ecstatic, now I get to have Jase threaten him and nearly watch Milo piss himself. You can join me if you want." Carly offered with a sinister little smile.

"Carly I am really working on having this thing with Milo work out and…"

"Lulu let me help you help yourself. You're Lulu and you don't do nice, not because you're mean-spirited. You're a Spencer and that's the way it is. Milo will either love you for you or he won't love you at all. And since he already practically licks the ground you walk on, I don't see you having an issue with making things work. Especially things you want." Carly explained as though to a very slow child.

"But it supposed to be two of us together and what we want right." She asked hesitantly to make sure that she wasn't gypping herself out of being in control.

"Are you marrying him?"

"Well no…"

"Then you don't have to compromise on every little thing and it would be boring if you did. Do what you want and occasionally do what he wants everything will be fine. Oh yeah and this time. Don't do a Dillion idea where you try to make him jealous using someone else. Milo might accidentally cause an accident if you catch my meaning."

"Oh…"

"I am starving, let's go to lunch. I'll even sneak you a beer since your not driving." Carly offered. The two women walked out of the room. While Carly's advice rolled around in Lulu's mind.
