Love At Second Sight

Chapter 21

The Cosmopolitan Carly & Jasmine's Penthouse Suite – Jasmine's Bedroom

Looking down at the phone, Jasmine smiles with a slight shake of her head…she'd just hung up with Carly after a little girl talk and telling her about the party Bobbie wants to throw for her.

Jasmine was already dressed and was just about to head downstairs when Carly called. She sits on her bed in silence for a moment as she thinks back to last night when Jason and Angelo finally got there…

FLASHBACK

Jasmine makes a quick look over to the door once she hears it opening. Before Angelo and Jason could get all the way inside she immediately launches in to their arms hugging them both at the same time.

"Thank Goodness you're back!" Jasmine says holding onto both of them with a tight hug

She was glad to see them and even more glad that this whole ordeal was over with and everyone was okay.

"Jass…I can't…breathe" Angelo's strained voice tries to plead with his sister to loosen up some on the hug

Jason couldn't believe her strength, she really had a tight hold…but he doesn't say anything, instead he just grins and bears it.

Once she lets them go both Jason and Angelo cough and catch their breath…

Jasmine completely ignores as she says "Okay so tell me everything."

Taking a hold of both their hands, Jasmine drags them over to the couch…Jason sits down next to her and Angelo plops down in the chair next to the couch. Jason was about to speak but he doesn't get the chance to before Jasmine starts firing off questions.

"Come on, come on spill it I want to know everything; don't leave anything out. How'd you find Carly? Where was she being held at? And where the hell is that bitch Eva? Did the men in white come and haul her ass off in a straight jacket or do I have time before they come so I can beat her ass down?!"

Angelo stay's silent when he hears his sister mention Eva…he was having a hard time accepting that he'd taken the life of someone else even though it was an accident.

Jason looks over at Angelo…he could see the grief on his face. Jasmine sees that Jason is looking at her brother…she looks as well and immediately sees that something is up.

"Okay what's going on? Someone want to fill me in" Jasmine asks

Jason sees that Angelo was kinda off in his own world so he speaks up to answer Jasmine's questions…

END FLASHBACK

Jasmine closes her eyes as she sits on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style. Jason had told her everything of how they found Carly and the rescue. He told her that he and Sonny cut Carly free from the chair and duct tape as Eva lunged at Angelo, but he left off the rest of it since she reached over an hugged him.

She smiles at the fact that her best friend was safe and sound away from the psycho that had her kidnapped. The thought of Eva made her begin to think back once again but this time about her brother…

FLASHBACK

Angelo quietly sits in the chair just staring straight ahead not looking at anything in particular as Jason filled Jasmine in. His mind replayed the scene in the cabin over and over again of him and Eva struggling over the gun, the shot going off and then him looking down at the blood stains on his shirt. Jason had taken him back to his penthouse to get cleaned up and he also gave him a change of clothes before they came back home to see Jasmine.

Angelo knew that what happened was an accident but that still didn't make it any better…he felt responsible for everything that happened and that ultimately led to Eva's death. If it wasn't for
him dumping her over the answering machine then none of this would have happened and Eva's death wouldn't be on his hands.

"Angelo" Jasmine says as she pulls back from hugging Jason and looks at her brother…she could tell something was wrong "What's the matter?"

When Angelo doesn't say anything, she looks back at Jason and asks "What's wrong with him?" she pauses for a moment as she looks curiously at Jason "Did something happen that you're not telling me about?" she looks back over at her brother who'd yet to say anything then turns back to Jason "Okay what the hell is going on?"

Jason sighs, "Well you see the thing is…when Eva lunged at Angelo she still had the gun in her hand and"

Cutting Jason off, Angelo finishes for him as he continues to stare straight ahead "And we struggled with the gun…I tried to get the gun away from her but she wouldn't let go. A shot went off between us." he pauses for a long silent moment "Eva's dead" he looks at his sister for a quick moment then stands up and starts to walk back to his room

Jasmine saw the guilt in her brother's eyes…the pain there…and she could tell that he was blaming himself and there was no way in hell she was going to let him continue to do it.

Standing up, Jasmine quickly places a hand on Angelo's shoulder turning him back around to face her "Don't you dare do this. This was not your fault."

"How can you say that to me? The gun was between us; we were struggling over it!"

"And it went off by accident!" Jasmine tells him as she tries to get him to understand…she exhales a breath then softly says "You didn't shoot her intentionally."

"Maybe not but my actions are what led up to that moment in that cabin." Angelo tells her "If it wasn't for me then none of this would have happened. Don't you see that if I hadn't of broken up with Eva the way I did then she wouldn't of snapped, she wouldn't have had Carly kidnapped and there wouldn't have been a gun to accidentally go off and kill her. I did all of that!" he points to himself as he looks straight in to her eyes and his bottom lip slightly trembles

Jasmine steps up close and frames Angelo's face in the palms of her hands as she looks him in the eyes and says "Now you listen to me…Eva is responsible for her own actions and ultimately her death." she pauses "Maybe you shouldn't have broken up with her the way you did but that doesn't make you responsible for the choices that she made. Eva chose to do what she did on her own. She had the choice to go on with her life but instead she chose to turn in to a psychotic kidnapper. Who knows what she would of done to Carly if you, Jason and Sonny hadn't of gotten there when you did. You didn't tell her to kidnap Carly. You didn't tell her go to that cabin. And you didn't tell her to lunge at you with a gun…that gun went off by accident. You could have been the one shot."

"Yeah, but…" Angelo tries to speak

Jasmine cuts him off, "But nothing." she tells him in a firm tone then goes on to say "I won't have you blaming yourself for something that was beyond your control. Do you hear me?"

For the first time since all of this happened, Angelo cracks a small smile "Yes Ma'am"

Jasmine smiles back as she lowers her hands from his face and brings him in to a hug…Jason stands silently as he watches the brother/sister bonding moment.

Pulling back from the hug, Jasmine decides to tease Angelo in order to lighten up the mood "Now if you want to blame yourself for anything then it should be because you left the toilet seat up again which caused your sister to take a flying dive into the water." she raises an eyebrow

Angelo laughs "How many times do I gotta tell you huh? Look before you sit." he grins then says again "Look THEN Sit…how easy is that." he shrugs his shoulders like it was no big deal

Jasmine pinches him on the arm

"OW" Angelo says through his laughter "Don't blame me because you went for a swim in Mr. Toilet Bowl…that could have been prevented with an quick look."

"Oh yeah well it's just as easy for you to FLIP the seat down." Jasmine tells him as she crosses her arms over her chest "Zip your pants, Flip the seat and flush the toilet. Zip! Flip! Flush! Three
easy steps but you can't seem to remember either!"

END FLASHBACK

Laughing, Jasmine comes out of her thoughts…she was glad that she was able to get her brother to drop his guilt trip he was putting on himself. She even got him to give Gia a call as a way to not only get his mind off of the scene in the cabin but also a way so that she and Jason could be alone.

That was another thought that brought a smile to her face…their love making always made her smile and count the hours until their next encounter.

FLASHBACK

Around three o'clock in the morning, Jason had gotten a business call on his cell…the ringing of his cell had her half awake and sleep.

Jasmine couldn't really make out what the call was about but when he finished she heard him say something like "he'd be there"…she snuggles in to his chest and sleepily asked…

"You have to leave…"

Jason sighs he didn't want to go but Benny called him and needed to see him. Jason had told Benny that if he needed anything to call him first and not Sonny…he knew that Sonny wouldn't want to be disturbed since he was with Carly.

"Yeah, I'm sorry…it's business."

"Business about the kidnapping?" Jasmine asks

"Yeah, just a few lose ends I gotta take care of…don't worry."

Jasmine looks up at him as she says "I do worry about you…especially when you have to leave our bed so early in the morning." she kisses him sweetly "Don't go" she whispers against his lips "Not yet" she kiss him again then once again whispers "Stay a little while longer" she climbs on top of him so he is underneath her as her legs straddle him to the bed

Jason grins as he places his hands on her bare hips…Jasmine stares down at him with the most mischievous grin ever. Jason wets his lips as his eyes slowly take in the sight of her nude physique inch by inch, from her

Hips…

Flat toned stomach…

And On up to her voluptuous perky breast…

Neck…

Face of an angel with succulent lips and the most beautiful brown eyes ever.

"Maybe a lot longer…" Jason says

Suddenly Jasmine finds herself being pulled down, flipped over on to her back and taken in to an intensely passionate kiss as she wraps her arms and legs around him in a loving embrace. Needless to say, Benny shouldn't be expecting to see Jason for at least another hour and a half

END FLASHBACK

Jasmine snaps out of her thoughts while grinning even wider if that was possible…she laughs while throwing her head back and says "Oh yeah, Carly and I are gonna have to definitely get together and dish out the girl talk…that is if I can pry her away from her lover boy." she grins and then heads out of her room and goes downstairs

Angelo is sitting on the couch as he looks up and sees his sister finally making an mid-morning appearance…he had a feeling of why she was just now coming downstairs for the day. He wonders to himself where 'Ol Blue Eyes is since he wasn't following her down the stairs.

Jasmine can already read his thoughts as she says while coming down the last of the steps… "Hush"

"Whaaat? I didn't say anything" Angelo laughs as he shrugs his shoulders

Jasmine sits down next to him on the couch as she says "Doesn't matter you were about to and anyways do you really want me to go into details about Jason's strong masculine hands all over my body while his mouth sucks at my…"

Angelo's quickly plugs his ears as he yells "Ewww! Stop that! That's GROSSS!" placing a hand to his mouth and the other on his stomach he says "Oh GOD I just got a visual!" he jumps up from the couch and runs in to the bathroom

Jasmine laughs her ass off as he runs away "That's what you GET" she yells out to him while hearing the door slam

The phone rings and Jasmine answers it trying to hold in her laughter "Hello…"

The Brownstone

The door slams shut as Luke comes barreling inside "Alright Barbara Jean, I'm here what's the big family emergency?"

Bobbie puts her hand over the receiver and shushes Luke as he walks in to the living room…she was on the phone with Jasmine, who'd just picked up.

"Good Morning Jasmine" Bobbie says with a smile "By any chance is Carly there?"

Luke throws his hands up in the air as he plops down in the big cushiony chair gesturing for his baby sister to hurry up since she just ignored him.

He wasn't in to good of a mood but what else was new. Luke had just came from the club after attempting to look over the books…a task that he never liked doing which is why he always stuck that job with Sonny or Jason.

No way in hell was he gonna waste money hiring an accountant when he had The Coffee Baron and The Borg to do it for him…and one of them should have been doing it instead of him but Luke hasn't been able to get in touch with either of them.

Then to top that off, Claude was in a mood…his girlfriend dumped him but how he was able to even hook a girlfriend was beyond Luke. So now Luke had to deal with the books and a love sick bartender moping around like a sad sack.

Bobbie shakes her head as she looks over to her frustrated big brother as she continues on with her conversation "She's still with Sonny" she giggles "I'll have to remember to call and invite him…it seems that may be the only way to get the guest of honor to come to her party. I'm planning on having it a Luke's Club tonight at seven."

Luke's eyes open wide at this new information, "What party and at whose club?! And what`s this about Sonny?" Luke was starting to rethink the whole thing about being okay with Sonny hooking up with his niece and the mood he was in wasn't making it any better

Bobbie looks over to Luke with a glare, her eyes telling him to be quiet…

Jasmine smiles, "Sounds like Luke just heard the good news" she laughs

~*~

Bobbie giggles, "Don't worry about Mr. Grumpy Pants he'll be just fine. Okay so, party for Carly at the club; seven o'clock be there."

Luke throws his hands back up in the air again not believing that he was being talked about like he wasn't even in the room.

~*~

"Well one thing's for sure…you work fast when you're planning a party. I thought you just came up with the idea yesterday when you called and told me about it."

~*~

"Yeah I did" Bobbie smiles "And the more I thought about it the more excited I got and the more I couldn't wait to set it up." she pauses for a moment "You know I never thought the day would come when I'd be planning a party for my daughter; I thought she was lost to me forever…but now all of a sudden here I am planning away."

Bobbie smiles a bright smile with a tear in her eye

"I know we can't get back all of those lost years but at least now we have the future ahead of us, and I'm not going to waist a single second of it."

The tear falls and Bobbie wipes it away then sniffs but covers it up quickly clearing her throat

"Anyway, uh I was just calling to try and touch base with Carly…the party won`t be to big just family and a few friends and of course you and a certain blue eyed hunk."

~*~

Jasmine smirks, "Thanks, I'll be there and Jason to even if I have to drag him"

Both Bobbie and Jasmine laugh at that

"What about Sonny, you think if Jason comes then he won't completely blow the party off."

~*~

With a grin, Jasmine tells her "I wouldn't worry about Sonny not coming to the party. He and Carly are practically glued to the hip now of days and even if he doesn't want to come I'm sure Carly can convince him…if you know what I mean."

~*~

"Oh I think I know what you mean alright…" Bobbie says with a little laugh "We women always have our ways of getting our men to succumb and now that it's out that our Caroline is a Spencer…poor Sonny Corinthos doesn't stand a chance."

They laugh

"Oh I uh talked to Carly a little while ago and told her about your plans for the Spencer Clan get together. She liked the idea and said that she'd probably stop by Kelly's or the hospital today
depending on your shift."

~*~

"I'll be at Kelly's since I'm off duty at the hospital today. Remember the party is at Luke's Club at seven"

The women say goodbye and both hang up the phone.

"Is there something you forgot to tell me Barbara Jean?" Luke asks sarcastically

"Oh yeah I'm throwing a party for your niece at the club." Bobbie informs him "I want to officially introduce my daughter to the family and all of our friends."

"And that's your way of asking to use the club? Don't mind me I just own the joint" Luke grumbles

"Don't start with me Luke Spencer! Do you ever ask me before you raid the cash register at Kelly's?" Bobbie raises an eyebrow

Luke clears his throat "That's different"

"How?" Bobbie quickly retorts

A moment of silence goes by as Luke tries to think of a reason

Bobbie smirks then says "That's what I thought"

"Well why does this party gotta be at the club, why not Kelly's"

"What's with you? I really don't see the problem with having a party for Carly at the club. It's not booked for anything else so what's the big deal. And besides…" she smiles "It's a way for me to get to know my daughter and spend some time with her." she looks at him with big brown eyes…that always got to him and she knew it

Luke blows out a breath giving in… "Okay okay you can have the party at the club"

Bobbie smiles brightly giving him a quick hug as she gets her way… "Thanks Luke, the party's at seven"

"But no Corinthos"

"What's wrong with Sonny coming?" Bobbie asks "Don't tell me you're starting in on not wanting Carly to get involved with Sonny, again." she shakes her head

"I don't know what the hell I was thinking telling the GelFather he was off my shit list…especially after finding out about their past together! Let him go play Guys and Dolls with someone else's niece because mine's is off limits!"

"That's not your call to make Luke! Obviously Carly and Sonny have worked through their past problems and she's fine with it. I trust my daughter's judgment…and besides didn't I tell you before to stay out of it!" Bobbie snaps "Now, I'm inviting Sonny to the party and you're gonna behave, Luke Spencer or so help me…" she picks up her purse sitting at her side and raises it up if to give him another taste of her purse beat down

Luke quickly stands and backs up away from his very pissed off sister and her purse as he says "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay…why you always gotta use me for target practice with that bag of bricks?!" he runs towards the door with Bobbie right behind him swinging…

"Because you never tire of giving me reasons to use it!" Bobbie says as she runs after him taking more swings at him

The purse hits Luke in the shoulder "OW! Watch it with that thing Barbara Jean!" Luke runs out the front door with Bobbie taking another swing at him as he yells out "Where The Hell Is BUBBA When You Need Him!"

Harbor View Towers Penthouse 4 – Sonny's Bedroom

Eyes closed with the most satisfied grin at her lips, Carly lays back down on Sonny's side of the bed as she hangs up the phone from talking with Jasmine.

"Mmm"

She snuggles underneath the smooth feel of the satin sheets against her nude physique…

Never did Carly ever think the day would come that she'd be in Sonny's bed…spending the night wrapped up in his arms…making love.

Love…

The word echoes in her head

~FLASH~

Their parted lips touch…

Heated breath meets Heated Breath…

Eyes gazing at each other seeing the love reflecting back

"I love you Caroline" Sonny whispers

~END FLASH~

Opening her eyes, Carly sits back up again with the memory still vivid in her mind…

Pulling the silk sheets up to cover up her nudeness she sits there for a moment with this silly little smile on her face…

~FLASH~

A soft moan escapes her as Sonny's hand on her breast begins to softly squeeze it's fullness and thumb her nipple while the softness of his lips continue to nibble and kiss at her neck.

"Mmmm…Sonnee" Carly calls out his name in whisper

Sonny stares straight in to her eyes…for a moment not a word is said they just stare at each other until finally

"I love you…" Sonny tells her once again

~END FLASH~

"He said it twice…" Carly softly says aloud to herself "And I didn't say it back." she sighs as she gets out of bed taking the sheet with her so it's wrapped around her body.

She stands in silence for a moment while looking down at the bed

"What are you so afraid of just tell him" Carly argues with herself as she just stands staring at the bed that looked like a tornado hit it "For goodness sakes he told me twice!" she says in a sharp whisper "Why? Why didn't I tell him?"

She pauses for a moment…

"Because I wasn't supposed to fall for him…" she whispers while closing her eyes.

Opening her eyes, Carly looks at the empty bed but gets a quick flash of their love making

"I didn't want to…but I did. Now all I have to do is tell him."

Carly lightly nibbles on her bottom lip with a smile as she takes in the fact that she just admitted to herself she was in love with Sonny. Standing in the middle of the bedroom, Carly grins as she runs a hand through her hair as the other keeps hold of the sheet so it wouldn't fall.

"Wait a minute…maybe he didn't notice I didn't say it back." She pauses for a moment to ponder that thought "Of course he noticed he had to of…but why didn't he say anything?"

She wonders for a moment why Sonny didn't call her on not saying the words back to him

"Maybe he'll say he loves me again and then I'd definitely say it back…I mean, he'll say it to me again, right?"

~*~

"Wow, you told her two times?" Jason asks

"Yeah" Sonny says in little haze after getting another vision of him and Carly in bed making love

"Did she say it back?" Jason asks

Sonny looks up at Jason when he asked that question…now that he thinks about it she never did answer him or say anything in response for that matter.

Looking up at the stairs with a bit of hurt in his eyes, Sonny says "No…she didn't."

Jason could tell that Sonny was just realizing Carly hadn't said she loves him back…he inwardly curses "Damn It" he shouldn't of said anything.

"She didn't say it back…" Sonny says as he stares at Jason who was looking at him sympathetically "I can't believe she…" he leaves the rest unsaid as he looks down while placing a hand to the back of his neck rubbing the sudden tension there.

Jason tries to quickly come up with an excuse "You know what maybe uh…maybe Carly didn't hear you when you said it; I mean you two were uh…you know" he smirks "When you said it to her, right?"

With a quick look up, Sonny glares at Jason with piercing eyes which makes Jason hurry to think of another excuse since Sonny wasn't too happy with the first one.

"Or, or maybe she was so overwhelmed that you said I love you and too caught up in the moment to say it back in return."

Sonny snaps "Stop with the excuses!" he closes his eyes for a moment as he tilts his head back and lets out a sigh "The fact of the matter is…I poured my heart out to her…" he looks back to Jason with a slight laugh at himself "And she succeeded in stomping on it."

Jason sees where he's going and stops him right there "You can't possibly think that Carly not saying she loves you was part of her old plan to pay you back…"

Sonny nods "Yeah why not" he laughs it off "I mean come on…you gotta admit it's perfect. We sleep together and me being the fool that I am…I give her the perfect ammunition she needed to accomplish her goal."

"Come on Sonny you and Carly worked out all of that…you're past it remember."

"Maybe that's what she only wanted me to believe." Sonny says as he shrugs his shoulders

"Okay you're talking crazy now…" Jason says in a sharp whisper as he makes a quick look to the stairs not wanting Carly to hear them…he walks over to Sonny "You need to calm down because you're saying things that you know aren't true. Carly was kidnapped you just got her back and last night you two took your relationship to the next level."

"Tell me something I don't already know Jason…" Sonny snaps back in a whisper

"No, because you need to be reminded of the things you do know. Ever since you saw her at Luke's that first night Carly has been running away from you because of your past…but you were the one who got her to realize that you weren't the same punk kid from back then…you
both agreed to leave the past behind."

"What if she can't…what if I hurt her so bad that that's impossible for her to do? And what if what happened last night was just her way to finish her payback."

"Sonny do you really believe that" Jason asks "Maybe the reason she didn't say it back to you is because she's scared to…have you thought of that? You don't know what's going on inside her head. You were never a man that she'd consider being with; she's fought those feelings trying to deny them we all saw it." he exhales a breath "Do you really think that last night was a means to a end…do you?"

Shaking his head with a little laugh, Sonny says "You know I think someone's been watching a little too much Oprah." with a grin, he waves a chastising index finger at Jason "Who are you, Dr. Phil now?" he laughs

"Whatever man… " Jason smirks "You know what I mean." he pauses for a moment "So…do you?" he asks again

They stand in silence for a moment as Sonny takes in Jason's words "No" he looks back at the stairs "You're right"

"I know I am" Jason gloats

Sonny looks back at Jason, shaking his head at him with a slight smirk "Thanks" Sonny tells him "I don't know what came over me man…I kinda flipped out there."

"Yeah…you did flip out" Jason agrees with him…they both laugh it off "Listen, it's okay. You wanted the woman you love to say the words back…and just because she didn't say it to you does not mean that she doesn't."

Sonny nods, "Yeah…I know" he glances back at the stairs for a second then turns back to Jason

Jason snaps his fingers, "Oh I almost forgot" Sonny looks at him curiously wondering what else he wanted "Benny called at like three in the morning."

"Good thing he called you and not me because you'd be looking for his replacement after I killed him" Sonny smirks

"Which is why I told him to call me if anything came up…even though I was interrupted with Jasmine"

"Uh oh…how'd she take it?" Sonny asks

"Pretty well actually…" Jason grins "Benny was the one who was a little restless since I didn't show up right away." he smirks and Sonny nods with a laugh, getting Jason's meaning "Anyway everything went smoothly but you know Benny he worries about everything."

"Yeah well I pay him to worry so I don't have to" Sonny replies then decides to change the subject back as he says "So uh what about you and Jasmine" he grins as he takes the subject off of him "Have you told her?"

Jason laughs "Oh, I see…you change the subject off of you and put the heat on me." he starts backing up towards the door with a grin "Shouldn't you be making Carly coffee or something?"

"What's wrong Dr. Phil?" Sonny laughs "No words of wisdom for yourself what a shame" he says with a laugh as he watches Jason make his escape out the door. "I take it that's a no, huh?" the door shuts as Sonny yells out "CHICKEN"

Laughing and shaking his head at his friend, Sonny stands looking at the door for a moment. Turning around, Sonny looks at the stairs and pictures Carly laying in his bed…he inwardly chastises himself for even thinking the things he said to Jason. He then tells himself that he knows she loves him because he could see it in her eyes and feel it in their love making last night.

"Something's holding her back…" Sonny mumbles to himself "Caroline's been through a lot lately." he remembers Jason's words "I'll just have to let her say it in her own time…and show her how much I love her" smiling his dimples deepen as he just stands looking at the stairs

Forgetting about making the coffee, Sonny heads back up the stairs and to the bedroom "Caroline" he calls out her name as he comes through the bedroom door

He stops in place when he doesn't see her. The bed was empty and the sheets were laying in a puddle on the floor…he wonders where she was.

Being the neat freak that he is, Sonny picks up the sheet from the floor and then proceeds to make up the bed…just as he's about to pull up the comforter over the sheets he hears water running. Looking towards the bathroom with a sneaky little grin, Sonny realizes that she was taking a shower…he walks to the bathroom.

Carly was oblivious of Sonny coming inside the bathroom…her eyes are closed as she leans her head back while running her hands through her wet hair and the water rains down on her body washing the soap away.

Tilting her head to the side some, Carly keeps her eyes closed as she blindly reaches for the soap bar again. She rubs the soap down her arms, on her stomach, then up to her breast as the water rains down on her body while her mind keeps going over ways of how she'd tell Sonny she loves him too.

Should I wait until Sonny says it again?

Or

Should I just come out and say it whether he says it again or not?

Then she started to think…

Why wouldn't Sonny say it again?

If he loves me like he says he does then surly he'd say it again…right?

This wasn't supposed to happen; I wasn't supposed to fall in love…

So caught up in her thoughts, Carly doesn't notice Sonny slipping into the shower behind her.

Sonny silently takes in the sight of her from behind from head to toe with the widest of all dimpled grins…soaking in every inch.

Although Carly hadn't noticed Sonny slipping inside the shower behind her…she was now starting to get the feeling of his presence but that couldn't be since she was alone and Sonny was downstairs. Her thoughts began to return to their incredible night together…but she still couldn't shake the unmistakable feeling of "feeling" him near.

Slowly, with eyes closed, Carly turns around as she wets her lips and softly says his name "Sonnee"

She smiles as she hears a whistle then feels his hands wrap around her waist and pulling her into him so they are skin to skin. Opening her eyes, Carly is met with the most delectable dimpled grin ever as she wraps her arms around his back holding him to her was well.

"You're a sneak you know that, right?" Carly playfully tells him with a smile "Did you get a good look…pervert?" she smirks with a raise of an eyebrow

"Did you?" Sonny asks in return with a smirk of his own knowing that she checked him out as she opened her eyes

Leaning in close, Carly captures his lips for a short sweet kiss then gives his bottom lip a little tug as she leans back and smiles. Sonny goes in for another kiss but Carly places a finger to his lips as she shakes her head with a little laugh…

"What is it with you always interrupting me when I'm trying to get clean?" Carly asks with a playful laugh "First it was my bubble bath last night and now it's my shower…"

"You know what…I seem to remember" Sonny smirks "You were the one who called me into the bathroom so I could "wash" your back." He emphasized the word wash. "And as I recall you uh…more than enjoyed" he flashes his dimples "what happened next."

With a grin Carly kisses is lips with another sweet but short union then tells him, "Mmm, definitely…" she pauses for a moment "But uh who said you could join me in here while I'm taking a shower?" she giggles

"You don't really want me to leave do you…" Sonny asks in a low husky tone as they stare in to each others eyes. He leans in to her neck where he starts trailing kisses up to her ear. "Hmm…" he says in to her ear and then gives her lips a soft peck then goes to the other side of her neck trailing more kisses.

One of his hands slowly slide up and down her back as the other slips down to her ass giving it a gentle squeeze. Just holding and kissing her like this was making him so hard and he knew she could feel the effect she was having on him.

With a giggle and a little nibble of her bottom lip, Carly tells him "You…mmm…you play dirrrty, Mr. Corinthos."

Carly exhales a breath at the feel of his mouth on her neck and the touch of his hands keeping her close which made her feel his hardness against her thigh.

Her body tingles at the sound of his voice whispering in her ear and…

As her eyes flutter closed she leans her head to the side giving him more access to her neck…

With her mouth slightly open, Carly lets her heated breath escape with every kiss and caress of his lips and hands…

Once again he whispers in to her ear, "Only when I see something that's worth it…" he flicks his tongue at her earlobe then gives it a little nibble "You"

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.

Their foreheads touch…

No words are spoken…

They gaze at each other…

Both knowing what they want…

Both seeing it mirrored in their eyes…

Sonny is the first to break the silence "You're so beautiful…" he whispers against her lips which makes her smile "I want you right now" he says in a low sexy tone

No, I don't want to fall in love

No, I don't want to fall in love

With you

In that quick moment, Carly leans into his lips…she couldn't stand waiting another second. She frames his face in the palms of her hands as their lips mate in a loving duel.

They began to slowly walk around in a circle as Carly wraps her arms around his neck and runs her fingers up into his hair. It was like they were the only two people in the world as their lips stay fused in a mating dance for lovers only.

Carly could feel the love she had for this man with just one simple look, touch and kiss…she could also feel his love for her. Every kiss…every stroke of his hands…every caress of their nude bodies to each other only made her mind ramble on with telling herself to say the words to him but it wasn't so easy since her body was on fire with wanting him so damn bad.

The water rains down on them both as their…

Hearts pound and…

Hands caress, hold and squeeze while…

Heated pants of breath escape and the sounds of…

Blissful moans fill the fogged shower/bathroom…

What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.

They stand in a adoring embrace as Sonny's back is now to the water. Sonny lifts her up from her feet for a moment while Carly kisses his dimples as he grins and slides her back down. They stare at each other lovingly

"Is this a dream…is this real?" Carly asks as she gazes in to the chocolate brown pools that are his eyes "I…" she pauses for a moment while lightly bites down on her bottom lip with a smile "I never thought in a million years that I'd be here…with you…in your arms…in this moment." she kisses him then pulls back before it goes any further "I can't think of any other place I'd rather be than here with you."

Sonny shows off his dimples and then places a soft kiss to her lips. He tells himself that this was her way of saying she loves him and that he could live with that for the time being until she was ready to say it to him for real…he didn't want to push her.

"Rrreally…" Sonny grins which deepens his dimples "Well you know what?"

"What?" Carly asks as her heart begins to race with thinking that he was going to confess his love again and that she'd tell him this time…she smiles.

"I can't think of any other place I'd rather be either…" Sonny places a hand gently on her cheek then whispers "I know I'm not a man you'd ever picture being with and that's mostly my fault because…you know" he pauses leaving the rest unsaid then continues "But that's all in the past now…no more games. What we have right here and now is all I could ever want. We're the real thing Caroline…"

What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.

What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,

Slowly they move in closer and closer until finally their lips connect once again…but it was short-lived as Carly whimpers when Sonny pulls back from her lips.

But not for long as Carly's cries from the loss of his lips were soon replaced with moans of pleasure as Sonny goes down and sucks in one of her taut nipples.

With her fingers running through Sonny's hair, Carly leans her head back and eyes shut as she nibbles on her bottom lip.

I want to fall in love

No, I want to fall in love

With you.

Keeping a hand at her back, Sonny slides the other to her boob with a light squeeze as he nips and sucks at the little pink nipple for what seemed like hours until he finally switched to the other giving it the same treatment.

Sonny trails kisses up to her throat then back down between her breast and on down to her navel causing him to kneel onto one knee.

His hands slip up her hips and side and on up to her breast in which he fondles her nipples as he kisses around her navel. Their eyes meet as Carly looks down at him and Sonny looks up at her.

Sonny slowly trails one hand back down her slippery wet body and to her leg where he places his hand at the crook of her knee; he lifts her leg and puts it over his shoulder.

Carly leans back against the shower wall as she feels the soft touch of his lips kissing at her inner thigh. Sneaking a peek up at her again, Sonny dimples when he sees her eyes are closed and she's doing that tugging of her lip thing he likes to watch her do.

"Mmm" Carly moans out feeling his fingers part her folds "Oh Sonnee"

She rolls her eyes back while arching her back some and places a hand to his head running her fingers through his hair and her other hand onto the shower wall trying desperately to keep balance.

Teasingly Sonny rubs his thumb over her sensitive nub then blows a light breeze of heated breath just to drive her crazy…and it does judging by the grip she has on his hair with the first flick of his tongue tasting her honey.

Carly thought she'd keel over any moment as her body gave in to Sonny willingly. Sonny holds her leg in place over his shoulder as his other hand grips her waist…she was even sweeter than he'd remembered from last night.

Gently, Sonny lowers her leg back down as he places soft kisses here and there all the way up her stomach and then to her breasts while making sure to give each nipple a little suck and tug. Finally, Sonny sweeps her into a kiss as his arms trap her on either side with the palms of his hand to the shower wall so her back stays against the wall.

Carly places a hand on to his back to hold herself up since she was feeling a little woozy from the aftereffects of his recent actions…she places her other hand to his chest where she slowly slides downward until she ultimately begins to stroke his pulsating member.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.

As Carly's hand slowly works him by softly squeezing and rubbing up and down she could literally feel him growing in her hand…he was so hard. Sonny moans in to her mouth then leans his head back for a moment as he got caught up in the touch of her hand.

She rubs her thumb over his tip which causes him to moan louder…their foreheads touch. He looks in to her eyes then down to her lips where he sees the smuggest little grin silently telling him that she can give it just as good as him.

In one swift movement, Sonny removes her hand from his shaft then wraps a hand around Carly's waist. Slowly, he takes a few steps backward. He turns her around so that her back is pressed to his chest while his hands slide up her smooth damp physique and his mouth makes contact with her shoulder.

I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you.

And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you,

Carly nibbles her bottom lip in an attempt to suppress a moan but it was futile as her soft moans escape while his hands slip up to her breast with a gentle squeeze and fondling her nipples.

Sonny turns her around so the water is raining down on to her breast…his mouth stays kissing up her shoulder then neck while her hands grip his hips.

Their lips crash into each other as Sonny slides one hand from her breast down to her thighs which helps her spread apart and then just as quickly he parts her folds and inserts a long slender finger.

Carly gasps in pleasure parting their kiss, "Sonnee"

Sonny adds a second finger taking them both as far as they would go then…

Slides his fingers almost free and then…

Pushes them back inside again…

Repeating over and over and over again and again and again until Carly began to tremble and cum at the aid of his fingers.

No, I want to fall in love

No, I want to fall in love

With you

No, I...want to fall in love

With you

"AHHH" Carly cries out as her head lays on to his shoulder as she leans back on to him for support.

Sonny slips his fingers free, wraps an arm around her tiny waist then reaches the his other hand out to turn off the water.

After helping her out of the shower Sonny lifts Carly up on to the countertop between the two sink basins then grabs a towel.

Carly grins as she tries to swipe the towel away from Sonny "Gimme" she giggles

Sonny smirks as he holds on to the towel while standing between her legs "Come'er" he tells her as he gives the towel a little tug pulling her forward then lightly brushes his lips over hers

Taking the towel from him, Carly began to dry off his back and when she's done she dabs the towel on his chest.

They kiss…

Sonny pulls Carly closer which makes the towel caught between them…she giggles against his lips while leaning back from him but he leans forward lingering for just a moment longer; he began to trail soft wet kisses back down to her shoulder softly brushing his kisses up to her neck.

Carly wraps her arms around his back, her legs around his waist as her head leans to the side; her mouth is slightly parted as heated exhales of breath escape.

The towel between them was starting to get in the way; Carly wanted to feel her breast against his well toned chest…she gives the towel a tug until it is finally freed then throws it off to the side landing on the floor.

With one hand placed at the middle of her back and the other just above her ass, Sonny pushes Carly closer leaving no room for the imagination as he lifts her up from the countertop. He stands there for a moment just holding her with her legs securely wrapped around him…they look in to each other eyes…he carries her back in to the bedroom.

Love never felt so damn good as their bodies tangle between the satin sheets.

Both wanting control, the lovers take turns rolling the other on to their back to gain it.

Sonny wins out as he pins Carly down underneath him and holding her hands slightly above her head as he brushes his kisses down to her breast to suck at her nipples.

Working her hands free, Carly then places them on his head to run her fingers through his hair…Sonny softly runs a hand down the length of her body and without warning rubs his thumb over her clit.

Carly gasps "Oh G…" her words were silenced by his sudden kiss at her lips as his thumb continued to play at her most girly treasure

With one last rub over her clit, Sonny brings his hand back up as he frees her lips. Sonny traces his thumb over her lips; it was so erotic and turned Carly on immensely as she begins to lick the rest of his thumb clean…he grins and she does the same.

Carly places a hand to his cheek as she pulls him down to her…Sonny tastes her sweetness on her lips which only make him need her more as he could feel himself growing and hardening with each passing second.

Trailing her hands smoothly down his back, Carly grabs a hold of his ass with a squeeze in a silent gesture telling him that she needed to feel all of him…she spreads her legs to ready for his entry.

Sloooooooooooooooooooowly

Sonny sinks his thickness inside her nookie

Stretching her walls

Filling her all the way up to the hilt

Carly cries out his name as he watches "Sonneeeee" her eyes close and her head thrashes to the side as she tugs on her bottom lip. "Mmmmmmmm" she moans releasing her lip

Their rhythm is slow…sweet…tender.

With one hand still on his ass, Carly places the other at the middle of his back digging her nails in with every thrust.

She so desperately wanted him to end this slow pace…it was driving her crazy and she knew that he knew it also by the way he was looking at her.

Carly's nails were really starting to dig in, so Sonny lifts her arms up so their fingers could intertwine…he pins her hands down then begins to drink from her lips in a most passionate kiss.

Sonny drives deep inside her walls and sloooowly inches almost all the way free over and over and over again. He knew he was driving her crazy, hell he was driving himself crazy but he wanted it to last.

Not able to take the deliciously slow pace any longer, Sonny gradually begins to speed up their rhythm.

Faster

Harder

Powerful strokes

Sweat trickling down his back

Her passionate cries filling the room

His grunts in her ear with every deeeeeeep vigorous thrust

"Ah! AH! Yes! YES! SONNEE!" Carly calls out between gasps for breath

Sonny knew she was almost there so he gives her a couple more deep strokes then stays completely still letting her climax shoot through her body. Carly trembles as her cellar walls tightly clench around his shaft and her mouth hangs open in soundless cries.

With a brush of his lips up the crook of her neck, Sonny could taste the saltiness of her sweat. Once she began to calm somewhat, Sonny picks up where he left of as he gives her stroke after stroke after stroke after stroke.

Carly wiggles her hands free of his hold then grabs his ass holding and pushing him deep in to her core encouraging him on and exciting her further so she could cum again and take him with her.

"OH MY…G" she once again tries to call out but halts not able to finish her words

Like a crash of thunderous waves the two lovers cum together in a powerful orgasm as his seeds shoot into her warm love cavern.

Carly hugs him to her in a loving embrace…he tries not to put all of his weight on her as he works to catch his breath.

"Mmmm…that was innnncredible" Carly manages to find the words to say

Sonny lifts his head from the crook of her neck…

They stare at each other and manage a small smirk of a smile…

Their lips softly connect in a short but sweet kiss…

He slips free and then rolls to her side laying down on his back…

She cuddles into him laying her head on his chest…

A thought comes to her that makes her giggle and look up to him…

"What?" Sonny asks with a little laugh and dimpled smile

Carly leans into his lips for another kiss; she smiles at his lips while leaning back looking at him then says "Now you can cook for me" she giggles

Sonny smirks, "Can I…" he laughs

Carly laughs… "Yeah, you can" she wets her lips "It seems that I've worked up quite an appetite"

"Rrrreally" Sonny playfully says as he rolls his r's

"Yeah really" Carly places a soft peck of a kiss onto his lips

Wiggling his eyebrows, Sonny says "Wonder how that happened"

They laugh…their foreheads touch…Sonny looks down at her lips as a hunger to possess them comes over him

"You're so bad" Carly tells him

Sonny kisses her passionately…once he pulls back he says "Yeah but you like it when I'm baad" he goes in for another kiss

Carly giggles as she leans back and she places a finger to his lips… "I'm hungry"

Rolling her on to her back, Sonny grins then says "So am I" he winks

Sonny begins to nuzzle at her neck and Carly could feel herself getting lost in his touch…

"Sonnee…if we don't get up now we'll never get out of bed"

"I don't see any problem with that…" Sonny says as he leans back from her neck looking down at her lips

Looking at him with an adorable little pout, Carly says… "Pleeease. I'm hungry and it's your fault so now you gotta feed me."

Sonny smirks "Okaaaaay, how can I say no to that face"

"You can't" Carly says with a laugh "Okay so lets go because I'm starved" she pushes him up some then hops out of bed.

Sonny watches her in amazement as she runs over to his closet and takes out one of his good shirts just as she did before. He gets out of bed and puts on his robe.

Just as Sonny finishes tying sash of the robe, Carly walks over to him with a sexy smile as she buttons up his shirt she's wearing.

Standing in front of him, Carly leans into his lips as if to kiss him but instead she gives the sash of his robe a tug making it fall open then quickly pulls the robe down over his shoulders and takes off running…

"You Can't Catch Me" Carly yells

Sonny laughs as he runs after her putting the robe back on "We'll see about that"

The Cosmopolitan Carly & Jasmine's Penthouse Suite

A few hours later Carly walks inside and stops in place a little shocked that Jasmine wasn't waiting for her the minute she walked through the door. Closing the door quietly behind her being careful not to make any noise, Carly heads towards the stairs holding her dress box that Sonny bought for her but never got to wear last night.

After Sonny cooked her a wonderful lunch, Carly told him that she should be getting back home…he of course didn't want her to leave but she told him that she wanted to stop by Kelly's to see Bobbie and that he would definitely see her tonight.

Reluctantly Sonny gave in but not before telling her that Max would drive her back to the Cosmopolitan and then of course kissing her breathless. He also gave her the dress that he'd bought for her and told her to wear it tonight and that they'd have a wonderful night on the town then come back to his place and make it an even better night.

Just as Carly was about to take the first step to head up stairs she hears…

"Carly!" Jasmine calls out her name as she comes out of the kitchen with a bowl of chocolate ice cream

Smiling and shaking her head, Carly knew it was too good to be true as she turns around to see Jasmine put down her ice cream on a nearby table then coming straight towards her…Carly places the box on the floor next to her. They hug for a good long time, like they hadn't seen each other in ages.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again" Jasmine says still hugging her

Carly squeezes tighter as she says, "Sounds like someone missed me."

They laugh while finally pulling back and looking at each other "Naaa…you see Angelo left the toilet seat up and instead of you falling in I was the lucky one who went for a dip in the water."

Carly laughs, "He has got to be broken of that"

"Don't worry I got him back by talking about his least favorite subject…gave him some hints in to Jason spending the night last night."

They head over to the couch to sit but Jasmine grabs her ice cream first and Carly picks up her dress box "Oh I bet he just loooved that" Carly says between her laughter

Both are now sitting on the couch, with the ice cream bowl placed between them and the dress box on the coffee table.

Jasmine says "Poor fool went running straight to the bathroom…" she grins "He said he wasn't feeling too well…go figure" she shrugs her shoulders

They laugh but them talking about Angelo makes Carly remember the look on his face…even though he was concerned more about her, she could tell that he was feeling uneasy about everything that happened.

"So Angelo's okay…I mean I know he was shaken with what happened and all."

"Yeah well…he was blaming himself for what happened in the cabin with the gun going off." Jasmine tells her

"Tell me he isn't blaming himself for how Eva…" Carly leaves the rest unsaid

"He was but I set him straight real quick…I told him if he wanted to blame himself for anything then let it be because he left the damn toilet seat up."

They laugh

"I'll talk with him later" Carly says with a slight nod of her head "Is he here?"

Jasmine nods "Yeah, he's upstairs" she says then smiles as she changes the subject, "Alright Chica" she grins "Let's get down to the Nitty-Gritty" she claps her hands together

Carly laughs, "Why whatever do you mean?" she picks up Jasmine's bowl of ice cream eats a spoonful.

"Hey get your own" Jasmine says in a playful pout "But I'd be happy to share IF you drop the phony what do you mean act" she grins "And start dishing out the good stuff."

Jasmine's eyes open wide and mouth drops open as she watches Carly get up and walk around the couch…

"Woman where are you going? Get your ass back over here." Jasmine laughs "Oh hey did Sonny say that last night?"

"Hush up you freak" Carly says with a laugh as she goes in to the kitchen and then quickly comes back out "I was just going to get a spoon"

Carly holds up the spoon as she hurries back over to the couch; they both were anxious to get to the Girl Talk.

"Okay now spill it."

"How come I have to go first why not you spill the action between you and Jason first?" Carly stalls on purpose knowing she was driving Jasmine nuts "I mean you told Angelo some of the juicy stuff why not me." she grins

"Do you wanna be wearing this ice cream?" Jasmine smirks as she holds up a spoonful of the chocolate treat. "Besides I've talked with you about Jason before now it's time for you to spill the goods on your Dimpled Don." she readies herself to flick the ice cream "Now spill it"

"OkAaay" Carly laughs "Put the spoon down"

Raising an eyebrow, Jasmine eats the spoonful of ice cream as Carly calms her laughing "There. Happy? Now lets get down to the 3 Times…"

Carly cuts her off, "Actually it's four now" she says with a smile remembering their shower encounter this morning

Jasmine's jaw drops open as Carly nods with the widest grin she's ever seen her with.

"This morning after I hung up with you Sonny surprised me in the shower. Mmmm, Girl I'm telling you the stamina on that man." Carly smiles as the gives her bottom lip a little tug

They laugh giving each other a high five

"Looks like your man Jason can't have the title of Marathon Man anymore" Carly grins

"Hey just because you're finally getting some doesn't mean that you can diss on my man."

Carly was in her own little world as she closes her eyes and continues on "Damn, girl Sonny has the softest lips and oh Girl can use them" quickly she opens her eyes, smiles and leans in close to
say
"Especially when he's going south of the border"

They grin giving each other a look then burst out laughing in their enjoyment…

"Oh and I haven't even told you about his hands…so strong but still gentle…the way he touches me is damn near sinful." Carly pauses for a moment a thought comes to her "And girl the man has the Sexiest Ass ever…"

"Don't you mean Sexy Tight Ass" Jasmine says grinning as she remembers back to her telling her about Carlybabe's coming out to play when she spent the night at Sonny's before. "Did you get a chance to bounce that quarter off" she laughs

"Girl believe me I wasn't thinking about any damn quarter" Carly tells her

They laugh

"Hey what about Mr. Happy" Jasmine asks curiously "So is he more of a Vienna Sausage or a Banana?"

Now it was time for Carly's jaw to drop open…once she gets over the shock of the question she starts to laugh shaking her head at her best friend, leave it to Jasmine to ask that question.

"Well let me put it this way…Mr. Ed has "Nothing" on my man" Carly winks

"Whaaaat" Jasmine says "It's like that…"

Carly nods and smiles, "It's like that"

"What's like that?" Angelo says as he comes walking down the stairs

The women look over at Angelo who was interrupting them from their Girl Talk…

"Hey Carly you made it home I see. Are you okay?" Angelo asks

"I'm fine, stop worrying…"

"You know that's not gonna happen" Angelo says as he walks over to the couch

Carly stands up and they hug.

Once they pull apart, Angelo says "So what are you two gossiping about huh?" he says with a smirk "It's like what?" he asks again

As Carly sits back down on the couch, she and Jasmine look at each other with mischievous smiles. All of a sudden Jasmine gets an idea…what better way to get rid of him than to tell the truth.

"Oh nothing we were just sitting around talking about penises."

Carly clamps a hand over her mouth trying to hold in her laughter.

Angelo stands completely still with his mouth slightly parted and eyes wide open

"You know what maybe you can help us answer this age old question." Jasmine says then pauses for a moment "Does Size Matter?" she asks "Because I was reading in a magazine on how a man's penis is suppose to be the length between his thumb and index finger."

Jasmine holds up her thumb and index finger and looks at it thoroughly…Carly couldn't stop laughing.

"Hmm, doesn't seem like much…kinda short" Jasmine looks up at Angelo "What do you think?" she holds up her hand showing him her thumb and index finger

Angelo knew what his crazy sister was doing; she wanted to send him away running again but that wasn't gonna happen this time…

"I don't know maybe you should ask Jason that question; he'd probably know more about that than me, you know, identify with the shortness" Angelo smiles innocently then turns around and heads towards the door laughing as he one upped his sister.

Jasmine glares at Angelo as he leaves out the door then looks at Carly who was still laughing her ass off.

"You walked right in to that one…" Carly tells her "I swear you two are crazy!" she says through laughing "I don't think there is a crazier brother and sister than the both of you."

Shaking her head, Jasmine says "I don't know about that I think Luke and Bobbie have us beat; but we come in a close second."

"A Very close second" Carly adds

"Yeah well I'll get him back later he's not allowed to get the last laugh."

"Why?" Carly laughs as she tries to clam herself

"Because I said so that's why." Jasmine smirks "Okay so back to you and your Mr. Marathon Man."

Carly closes her eyes…she smiles as she gets a quick flash of Sonny.

"He told me he loves me." Carly opens her eyes "Twice"

Jasmine smiles as she puts a hand at her heart, "Aww, that's so sweet" she pauses "Did you say it back."

Shaking her head, "No" Carly tells her "I don't know why I didn't say it…I should of."

"You were too caught up in your man rockin your world to get the words out." Jasmine grins

"Hush up" Carly says with a laugh then says "You know I was going to tell him…I told myself that if he said it again that I would definitely say it back. And when we were in the shower together, I thought he was about to say it, but…"

"He didn't" Jasmine finishes her sentence

"No"

"So you didn't say it either…" Jasmine asks and Carly stays silent which answers her question "Honey if you love him just tell him."

"I do love him…but he didn't say it again and now I'm wondering if that means he only said it because of the great sex."

"Sonny loves you…I can tell by the way he looks at you and especially by the way he never gave up looking for you. Carly you two just pick the wrong time to bring up saying the "L" word" she raises an eyebrow as she continues on saying "When you're getting your groove on." Jasmine smirks and Carly gives her a playful push on the shoulder "Anyway, just pick a better time to say it…like after a romantic candle light dinner and you're in each others arms dancing."

Carly smiles "That sounds nice…you know Sonny wants to take me out tonight." she looks over at the dress box sitting on the little coffee table in front of the couch then opens it and pulls out the dress inside. "He wants me to wear this" she smiles as stands up and holds the dress to her body while looking down at Jasmine "Isn't it beautiful…"

It was a Romantic spaghetti strapped, floor-length black dress and has a split-front sheer overlay that covers an eye-catching sparkle pattern.

"Lovely…almost as good as our designs" Jasmine says just having to give themselves the edge on the designs they make.

"Of course" Carly agrees "But it's from Sonny he wanted to pick me out a dress for a romantic evening…he has exquisite taste in clothes. Girl you should see his closet the man is a clothes horse" she laughs "I seriously believe he has over 200 suits."

Jasmine laughs and then remembers, "Oh wait you and Sonny can't go out tonight…Bobbie called again about the Spence Party thing to introduce you into the family. It's tonight…at Luke's."

Carly sighs, "Tonight?"

"Yeah, Bobbie was excited about throwing you a party that she just couldn't wait. And she called to speak to you about it but…" Jasmine leaves the rest unsaid "Anyway, she's really looking forward to this. She told me how she never thought she'd be able to do something like this for her daughter and that she thought you were lost to her forever but now you're back in her life and she's not gonna waste it."

Touched by her mother's words, Carly smiles "I don't want to waste it either." she pauses "I'll call Sonny and tell him we'll have to go out another time."

Carly places the dress back inside the box then puts the top back on it then sits down again.

"Bobbie said she was going to invite Sonny so just bring him as your date tonight and maybe while you two are dancing on the dance floor…who knows what might be said." Jasmine says dropping hints for her

Carly and Jasmine laugh as they look down at the uneaten bowl of ice cream and sees it has melted some since they practically ignored eating it while talking.

"Chocolate Mush…" Jasmine laughs

Carly gets a sneaky idea, "Not quite" then FLICKS a big spoonful at Jasmine.

Jasmine was shocked she says "You're gonna get it" flicks a spoonful at Carly in return

The penthouse is filled with screams of laughter as they break out in a good old fashion ice cream fight.

LUKE'S

The place was packed but not too crowded; the party was mixed in along with the regular customers for the night. Well actually Bobbie had set aside one section of the club for the party while the patrons had the other but everyone shared the dance floor.

Amongst the guest list were…

Luke (of course)

Lucas (he's 15 but Bobbie allowed him to come since she's there to supervise)

Laura (Luke's on and off again wife)

Lucky (Luke and Laura's son/Carly's cousin)

Elizabeth (Lucky's date/girlfriend)

Nikolas (Laura's son/Gia's ex)

Tony (Bobbie's ex husband)

The Scorpio's (Mac, Felicia and their daughters Maxie and Georgie…they were allowed to come also since Lucas was there)

Edward, Monica and Alan Quartermaine (since Monica was a good friend)

Now all that's left is for the guest of honor to show up.

A love sick Claude leans against the bar on his elbows…he changed the jukebox again and stares into space listening to the sappy pop love song.

Lying in your arms
So close together
Didn't know just what I had
Now I toss and turn
Cause I'm without you
How I'm missing you so bad

"I can't wait to introduce you to Carly; well her real name is Caroline but she likes to be called Carly." Bobbie says excitedly "What time is it?"

Felicia smiles as she places a hand on Bobbie's shoulder "Bobbie calm down you're a nervous wreck…I'm sure Carly will be here shortly and we "all" can't wait to meet her."

Mac adds in "And if she's anything like her mother then I know she's lovely."

Bobbie smiles and just as she's about to speak, Luke comes over putting an arm around her and looks at Mac…

"Now Bubba you wouldn't be flirting with my sister would you? Cause if so then I get to take Felicia for a spin around the dance floor it's only fair."

Where was my head
Where was my heart
Now I cry alone in the dark

Bobbie nudges Luke's side with her elbow, "Behave"

"What was that for I was just askin a question"

"Luke" Bobbie says warningly "I still have my purse you know"

"Okay, alright I'll be the pillar of all good tonight." Luke says as he places a hand on his heart as if saying a pledge "I Luke Spencer do hear by promise to RUN like hell if I see your purse of bricks a comin…" and with that he takes off to the bar before Bobbie could swat him

Bobbie, Mac and Felicia laugh as Luke takes off

"Bobbie you're a saint for having to deal with Luke for a brother." Mac says with a laugh

"He may be a pain in the you know what, but…" Bobbie smiles and laughs "You gotta love him."

"CLAAAAAAAAUUUUUDDDEEEEEEEEE!" Luke yells out finally realizing the song playing from his jukebox wasn't the blues "Just Because You Got Dumped Doesn't Give You Permission To Change My Jukebox To That Sappy Teenybopper Pop Star Wannabe Crap!"

Luke storms his way over to the jukebox to when he hears the sappy pop melody of 'Nsync's "Drive myself crazy"

I lie awake
I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy
Thinking of you

Luke quickly pulls the plug and all the customers turn around looking at the jukebox wondering what happened to the music…but then they realized it was just Luke. The customers were use to this since Claude always changes the jukebox and Luke always bellows and yanks the pug out the wall.

"What in the world is Luke doing?" Monica asks as she and Alan come over to stand with Bobbie, Felicia and Mac

Bobbie laughs as she shakes her head at her brother, "What else, being Luke. Don't worry the customers are practically use to it by now.

Laura comes out from the back she was in the office making a phone call…checking in on the Lulu and the babysitter. She sees Luke and heads straight over towards him.

"Luke Spencer you turn that music back on right this instant!"

"Oh hey Cupcake" Luke says looking up at Laura "I'm working on it baby doll…that Love Sick Bumble Head Claude changed my precious jukebox again. I swear he's FIRED! YOU HEAR THAT YOU BIG BABY! YOU'RE FIRED!" he yells then grumbles "Nothing but the blues will be played on this here jukebox let him get his own if he wants to listen to crap."

"You just get the music going again" Laura tells him, then looks at Claude at the bar and says, "Don't worry Claude, you're not fired…why don't you take the rest of the night off."

Luke immediately stands up straight when he hears what Laura told Claude only to see Laura standing there tapping her foot and her arms crossed as he stares at him…

When Claude comes walking over to stand by Laura, Luke grumbles out "Okay, okay you're Rehired!" and then quickly adds in "Get outta here before I change my mind."

"Now you go and find your girlfriend and talk to her." Laura tells Claude

"Thanks Mrs. Spencer" Claude says then leaves

Luke couldn't believe it! He was the one who rehired him and he didn't even rate a thank you

"What am I? Chop Liver?!" Luke says

"You said it…" Claude calls out over his shoulder as he exit's the door

With a glare at the door, Luke yells out again "Oh yeah well YOUR FIRED AGAIN!"

Just then Carly comes walking inside the club holding Sonny's hand…Jasmine and Jason come in behind them and so do Angelo and Gia. Jasmine called Angelo on his cell before they left to see if he wanted to come to the party as well.

"Don't tell me you're firing Claude again" Sonny says as he and Carly walk over to Luke

"No, he's not" Laura answers before Luke could say anything which makes Carly Jasmine and Gia trying to hold in a laugh "I just gave Claude the night off that's all." she smiles "So Sonny, it's good to see you again. Whose your lovely date?" she asks

Luke quickly chimes in "This my dear would be Sweet Caroline…our guest of honor for the party tonight. Caroline this is my wife, Laura."

"Hi nice to meet you…" Carly says as she holds out a hand to shake

Laura shakes her head no, "Nope, we're family…we hug" she takes Carly in to a hug "Welcome to the family" she pulls back with a smile then says "Don't mind your Uncle Luke, you'll get use to him."

"Hey you know I'm standing right here people…" Luke says in defense of himself

Jasmine's interests were peeked as Luke introduce Laura as his wife…since Luke as always flirting with her she tells herself that she'd have to tease him. Looking over at Luke, she winks and Luke's eyes open wide in getting what she was up to.

Clearing his throat, Luke quickly butts in "Okay" he claps his hands "Barbara Jean is waiting to see her daughter."

Luke takes Sonny's hand off of Carly's then wraps his own around her as he walks her over to the party "And I'm sure Don Juan Wannabe can find his own way over."

As they walk away, Luke wraps his other arm around Laura so that he is between the two women.

Sonny shakes his head as he watches Luke walk off with Carly "Well so much for him being alright with me seeing Caroline…should of known that wasn't gonna last for too long" Sonny says with a smirk as he looks over at Jason

"He's just chicken because he knew I was gonna have a little chit chat with the wify." Jasmine laughs "So he swept both Carly and Laura away before I could…"

"Of course he did he had to cover his back" Jason adds in

"That's Luke…he's a flirt. I had to learn that the first time I came in the club." Gia says "But it's easy to get him to back down…just mention Laura's name."

They laugh

"Well, you know what lets just hope that we don't get any more scenes like the last time we were all here." Angelo says with his arm wrapped around Gia's waist "How about a drink" he asks her and then pats Sonny on the shoulder as they walk over to the party leaving Sonny, Jason and Jasmine standing there.

"Come on lets go over." Jasmine says then hooks her arms with both Sonny and Jason so she is in the middle "It isn't everyday that a girl gets escorted to a party with two handsome men on her arms."

When Bobbie saw Carly they instantly went in to each others arms for a hug and then Bobbie began introducing her around to everyone as Luke tells Carly the real story behind the people she was meeting.

"Carly this is my best friend Felicia and her husband Police Commissioner Mac Scorpio…" Bobbie introduces them and they shake hands

Luke leans in to Carly's ear and whispers "Otherwise known as Bubba…he runs the Port Chuckles PD but they can't solve the mystery of ice. Felicia's a Private Detective…she's the only way that Bubba can actually solve a case."

Carly holds in a laugh as Bobbie continues on with the introductions.

"This is my other best friend Monica Quartermaine, her husband Alan and father in law Edward."

Once again Luke whispers in her ear, "Otherwise known as the Resident Blue Bloods of Port Chuck. Filthy Stinky Rich but they put the DISS in dysfunctional. Lying, Cheating and Backstabbing are what makes the Crazy Q's so special"

Trying to hold in the laughter was getting harder for Carly…she thought she'd burst at any moment as she keeps it in while smiling and shaking hands.

"This is Tony and also your cousin Lucky…Luke and Laura's son. I believe you've met his girlfriend Elizabeth…she works at Kelly's…and this is Nikolas, Laura's other son."

"The dopey looking one, Tony, better known as Doc Ex bro in law…he use to be married to Barbara Jean. Next up is my first born, Lucky who has recently decided to join Bubba and Port Chuckle's Finest. His girl Liz is a waitress and aspiring artist but kinda pale…sometimes I wonder if she's been kicking flour. Then there's good Ol Prince Nik… my wife's son she had when she was held hostage by a family of homicidal maniacs named Cassadine. Little Nikky's Uncle Steffy is the head vampire but his momma, Helena is the one to really look out for…she may look like a old bag of bones walkin but she's deadly. Always keep a vile of holy water with you when they're around."

Bobbie shoots Luke a look hearing what he was telling Carly and then just shakes her head at him before she continues on "And last but not least this is Lucas…my son…your brother." she smiles brightly as she introduces brother and sister to each other

"Good to see you sis" Lucas smiles

Carly and Lucas hug "It's great to see you little brother"

Bobbie stands quietly with a tear in her eye as she watches her son and daughter embrace…Luke for once stays quiet.

"So does this mean I get to hit my new cool big sister up for cash when I'm broke" Lucas jokes as they pull back from their hug

Carly laughs "We'll see about that."

"Oh and this is Maxie and Georgie" Lucas introduces

"Hi nice to meet you" Carly says

The party was going along smoothly…

Monica had to constantly keep Edward away from Sonny and Jason to keep the peace and the party from being ruined. Edward kept bellowing about the Gangster Hooligan that stole his grandson and that Jason would be living at home with them instead of being Sonny's Head Hired Goon. However, Monica did get to meet Jasmine for a brief minute but not for long because Edward was on his way over. She thought it best if they'd make their exit before she wouldn't be
able to keep the leash on her father in law.

Everyone is now broken in to couples dancing on the dance floor…

Bobbie and Tony

Mac and Felicia

Lucky and Liz

Nikolas danced with his mother Laura since he was without a date

Jason and Jasmine, Angelo and Gia, then of course Sonny and Carly.

Lucas, Maxie and Georgie all asked if they could duck out and go catch a movie…their parents agreed since the party was starting to die down anyway.

Luke watches them all from the bar as he lights up a cigar…particularly he watches Sonny holding Carly.

"Are you having a good time?" Sonny ask looking affectionately at his lady

Carly nods with a smile, "Thanks for coming with me…I know you would have preferred just the two of us going out and me wearing that gorgeous dress you bought."

Shaking his head no, "You're in my arms…that's all I need." Sonny smiles showing off his dimples "We'll go out another night you can wear the dress then…and when we get back home" he leans in to hear ear and whispers "I can peal it off your body inch by inch

Carly grins at the thought, "Mmm, well…when we leave here maybe I'll let you peal me out of something tonight."

They kiss

Luke mumbles to himself as he continues watching Sonny with Carly "What the hell was I drinking when I said Corinthos was off my shit list…must have been something pretty damn HARD to have those words come outta my mouth."

As Luke takes a drag of his cigar, an idea comes to him "I can use this party to find my niece someone else to spend her time with other than Gel Boy over there…but first I gotta get him outta the way and find a sap to put in his place…someone I can put the fear of my Fist down his throat if he treats her wrong."

Looking around the crowd, "But who?" Luke asks himself

Suddenly Luke sees one of his regular customers coming inside and heading towards the bar. Walter was a professor at PCU…good looking guy but boring as hell. Whenever Luke is short a poker player he'd call on Walter because he wasn't good and didn't know when he was being cheated in the game…Luke always enjoyed taking his money.

"Hey Walt!" Luke says as Walter sits down at the bar "How about a beer…"

"Hello Luke actually can you make that an apple martini"

Luke scrunches up his nose "Yeah, whatever." he turns to Erica one of the other bartenders "Get Walt here a apple martini." there was no way he was gonna make it

"Say uh Walt…when was the last time you went out on a date."

"Well uh…" Walter starts to say

"Don't answer that." Luke interrupts, what did he care because Walter was the perfect smuck he could control. "Stay right there I'm gonna hook you up with my niece. You'll like her."

"But Luke, I…" Walter tries to speak

Luke interrupts him again, "Stop flapping your gums! You just stay right there and I'll set everything up."

Walter drinks his apple Martini as he takes interest in watching Luke walk off. Sonny and Carly were still kissing they didn't even notice Luke heading their way. Luke taps Sonny on the shoulder and coughs loudly until the gets their attention.

"Good, you weren't busy" Luke says

Carly and Sonny look at Luke like he was crazy "Actually Uncle Luke" she stares him in the eyes while telling him "Sonny and I were busy."

"Yeah, yeah busy sucking face…this won't take too long. I need to borrow Coffee Boy here for a little while."

Sonny sighs, "What do you want, Luke."

"You back in the office" Luke says pointing over his shoulder "I was looking over the books earlier…you know I'm not good at the paperwork crap so more than likely I messed it up. I need you to go look it over."

"Luke I already went over everything…"

"Well how the hell was I suppose to know that?! No one ever tells me anything around here I'm just the boss and the one that own the joint!"

"Just stay away from the books from now on" Sonny says frustrated and then looks at Carly "I'll be back, I`m just gonna go see how much of a mess he made."

"I'll go with you." Carly says

"No, no you stay and enjoy your party…I promise I won't be too long."

Sonny kisses her softly but not for long since Luke starts to cough and clear his throat interrupting them again.

Carly watches Sonny as he walks back to the office then turns to Luke and swats him on the shoulder… "You just had to interrupt didn`t you!"

"For goodness sakes do I look like a damn punching bag? Do I have the word Everlast written across my head in Big Bold Letters?! For some reason both you and Barbara Jean seem to think so!" Luke rubs his poor shoulder

"Oh hush up I didn't even hit you that hard." Carly says with a laugh and shaking her head

"Come on I'll take you over to the bar and buy you a drink; Juan Valdez is gonna be a while." Luke says as he goes back to putting his plan in motion

They walk over to the bar and Luke has Carly sit next to Walter…he walks around to the back of the bar and hands Carly a beer.

"Say Walt" Luke reaches over and pats Walter hard on the shoulder which makes him cough and spit out his some of his drink. Shaking his head, Luke hands him a napkin then says "This is my beautiful niece Caroline Spencer."

"Benson" Carly corrects him

"For now" Luke replies with a grin then continues with the introduction "Caroline this is Walt, he's a college professor at PCU and a valued customer."

"Nice to meet you Walt" Carly says as she curiously wonders what Luke was up to

"Well, actually it's Walter" Walter smiles shaking her hand then says "Nice to meet you too, Caroline."

Clapping his hands together, Luke says "WELL…why don't I let you two crazy kids be alone and get to know each other."

As Luke tries to make his escape, Carly reaches over the bar and grabs the collar of his shirt "Oh no you don't…you're not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on. I know you're not trying to set me up when you know I'm here with Sonny."

"What's the harm in checking out your options…I'm just looking out for my favorite niece. Besides, wouldn't you rather be with someone that doesn't have a history of bad mouthing you."

"I'm your only niece…" Carly tells him then says "And Sonny and I are past all of that. You need to stay out of my business."

As Luke tries to plead his case, Walter interrupts them "Uh excuse me…"

Luke and Carly look at him "Pipe Down Pipsqueak! I'm trying to set you up with a woman other than a blow up doll."

Walter slams the palm of his hand down on the bar-top to get Luke's attention then says "I don't have a blow up doll and as matter a fact I'm not interested in women at all." he pauses for a moment then say "I'm Gay." Luke's eyes open wide "And the only reason I come here so often and let you cheat me at poker is to be close to you…" he tells Luke and then turns around in a huff and leaves

Carly lets go of Luke's shirt collar and clamps a hand over her mouth laughing her ass off…the man Luke wanted to set her up with was actually interested in him.

"That's not funny" Luke says not amused at all

"Oh I think it was" Carly laughs "And that's exactly what you get…"

"Whatever" Luke mumbles "Drink your beer."

"How about a tequila instead…" Carly says smiling and calming down her laughter some

Luke pours her a shot "What do you know about tequila…you'll probably pass out at the first sip." he jokes

"I can hold my liquor just fine thank you…"

"Have you ever been drunk…what am I saying, you're a Spencer of course you have." Luke laughs at his own joke "So, when was the last time you were drunk."

Carly picks up the glass and downs the liquor…Luke watches her in admiration as he grins

"Wow, didn't know you had it in ya." Luke tells her

"Thanks I think" Carly replies and then says "And yes I've been drunk before; the last time was when I drank a whole bottle of wine."

"Wine!" Luke laughs "That's nothing…I bet you can't match me drink for drink."

"You're on" Carly says agreeing to the bet

Fifteen minutes pass by and both Luke and Carly are still downing shots of tequila…both were plastered but no one could tell either of them that with Luke barking that he was fine or Carly saying that she could hold out longer than Luke.

Bobbie and Jasmine stand shaking their heads at them both…they tried to get them to end this silly bet but neither Luke or Carly would back down. Laura had left a little while ago to go home and relieve the babysitter.

"Well I see my daughter has that Good `Ol Fashion Spencer Stubbornness…she's determined not to let Luke win."

Gia smirks, "I gotta give it to the girl…she's hanging in there with him."

"Yeah well I have a feeling that Carly's in for a rude awakening cause something tells me Luke has done this before." Jasmine adds in her opinion

They all laugh

Jason and Sonny come out from Luke's office…Jason went back to get Sonny to let him know what was going on. Sonny sees Carly at the bar with Luke; it was obvious that she was plastered…he grins as he remembers the last time she was out of it like that.

"Okay you get Luke and I'll handle Caroline." Sonny tells Jason

Sonny heads towards the bar as Jason calls out "Why do I have to always handle Luke? Last time he barfed on me"

Carly is about to drink down another shot but a hand stops her taking away the glass.

"Hey I was about to drink that…" Carly says as she almost loses her balance when she turns around to see who stopped her

"Caroline…come on I think you've had enough sweetheart. Let me take you home."

"Oh hey Sonneeeeee" Carly giggles

"Hey butt out Sorinthos!" Luke says mixing his words together "Me and Sweet Caroline got a bet going on…and I'm winning!"

"Of course you are you drink like fish. This bet is over I'm taking Caroline home."

Carly holds on to Sonny as to keep her balance, "Wait a minute my Sexxxxxy Sonneeeee Tight Ass…I wanna stay." she leans in to his ear but doesn't whisper "Shhhh that old goat thinks he's winning but I got him on the ropes."

"Hey Malibu Barbie…who you calling Old?!" Luke points to Carly as he holds up his shot glass…Jason stands off to the side of him out of hurl distance

Sonny keeps trying to get Carly to come with him "Baby come on I'll take you back to the penthouse and you can sleep it off."

"Mmmm you mean in your bed…" Carly grins "Okay I'll go but only if you promise to peel off my clothes like you promised when we were dancing and make me Screeeeeeeeeam your name at the top of my lungs like you did this morning! Oh yeah and the three times last night!"

Sonny practically blushes as he looks at Bobbie…she was holding in a smile as she covers her mouth with her hand.

"I'll uh…I'll just take her home with me so she can sleep it off."

"Yeah, you do that…and I'll call and check up on her tomorrow." Bobbie tells Sonny

Sonny tries to get Carly to walk…she takes a step and he catches her as she slips.

Carly giggles as Sonny places her over his shoulder "Hey Sexxxxy Sonneeeee hurry up and get us in the limo so I can rip off your clothes and ride you like a prized stallion!"

"Say goodnight Caroline…" Sonny tells her as he quickly tries to get out the door before she says anything else…the crowd parts as he walks past them.

"Goodnight Caroline" Carly repeats then looks down at his ass, since he was carrying her over his shoulder

Sonny stops for a moment in place when he feels her grab on to his ass with a tight grip…Carly looks up at Jasmine and says "Hey Jass…toss me a quarter and we can find out if it bounces or not."

Jasmine laughs her ass off, "Night Night Carlybabes…" she waves

Sonny quickly starts walking again…Carly calls out to Jasmine saying…"Okay your loss you were the one who wanted to know if the quarter would bounce off of Sexxxxy Sonneee's tight Buns of Steel…oh wait my bad...I forgot you also wanted to know the size of his banana!" just as Sonny is about to walk out the door, Carly yells out "Don't worry Babe, I told her you were hung like a horse!"

Gia, Bobbie and all the other women in the club grin as they watch Sonny carry Carly out the door. Angelo just stands shaking his head as he also watches Sonny hurry out the door…he had a pretty good feeling how Sonny was feeling since he's also been on the receiving end of Carlybabe's public announcements back when they were dating.

Luke scrunches up his face as he says "EWWW GROSS! No one wants to hear about Corinthos' winky! I'm gonna be sick" he runs off to the bathroom

Jason quickly moves out the way as he passes by…he doesn't say a word as he looks at Jasmine with a "what the hell" stare.

Jasmine's mouth was hanging open at Carly's words and Jason's stare…just wait until she gets her hands on Carly tomorrow she inwardly tells herself.

Gia passes a curious look at Jasmine. Jasmine leans close to Gia and whispers "Girl Talk" for her explanation

"Looks like I'm gonna have to get in on the next Girl Talk session" Gia whispers back to Jasmine "The three of us are gonna have to have a Ladies Night soon."

"Yeah and you can watch me put Carly in a chokehold…" Jasmine says with a laugh

Gia smirks knowing that a Ladies Night with Carly and Jasmine would be a hell of a lot more fun than brownie and ribs night at Kelly's with the Scooby Gang when she was dating Nikolas.

Harbor View Tower's Penthouse 4

Sonny carries Carly up the stairs to the bedroom; she had fallen asleep in his arms on the way home in the limo. Gently he lays her down on the bed and smiles as she looks so beautiful and peaceful…you'd never know that she was the one telling all of Luke's about his sexy tight ass. He places a hand to her head and then softly moves a strand of hair from off her cheek.

Sitting there for a moment, Sonny just watches her sleep…he was so in love with this woman he felt like his heart would burst. As she sleeps, Sonny decides to go ahead and get her undressed and put her in one of his shirts to sleep in since she loved wearing them so much.

After picking out a shirt for her to wear he undresses her clothes and puts the shirt on her while trying not to awaken her…she needed her rest because she was definitely gonna feel the effects of the tequila in the morning. Once Sonny has her dressed in his shirt he pulls the covers up, tucks her in the bed then places a kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight sweetheart" Sonny whispers

Deciding to get ready for bed himself, Sonny stands up from sitting on the side of the bed and starts to quietly walk to the bathroom.

Carly snuggles under the covers and then softly calls out his name "Sonny"

Sonny goes back to her side sitting down next to her on the bed… "Hey" he smiles "Go back to sleep baby…you need your rest."

Opening her eyes, Carly smiles at Sonny…her eyes felt so heavy.

Just before she closes her eyes and drifts back to sleep she whispers "Sonny…I love you."

And with that said, Carly falls back asleep leaving Sonny stunned as he sits there watching her slumber deep.
