Chapter 4

"AJ? I'm sorry, but do I know you?" Carly asked, knowing that it sounded like a stupid thing to say.

" Carly, you don't remember me. Oh God." AJ said turning away from her to make it look like he was terribly upset, when the truth was that he was overjoyed in the inside.

"Are you okay?" Carly asked, she hoped that she hadn't hurt his feelings she just couldn't remember, "Why don't you sit down and we'll talk maybe I'll remember something about you."

"Carly you have to understand how much this hurts, I mean, we share a child together… We're in love each other."

His statement shocked her, she thought that she was or had been, up until recently, been married to Sonny. How could she have been married to one man but be in love with another. And even if she had been in love with AJ why did he make her feel uncomfortable. Carly sat in shock for at least five minutes before AJ spoke again.

"Are you okay? I hope I didn't make a mistake by telling you that, I know that I shouldn't be telling you about your life before the accident."

"No, I'm just surprised because Sonny never mentioned you." Carly replied.

AJ let out a small sigh before speaking, " He wouldn't. Sonny was really heartbroken when you told him about us. See, we were having an affair. You had just told Sonny and I was about to explain it to my wife. You didn't want to hurt Sonny but you wanted to be honest with him and let him know that you didn't love him anymore."

"I don't understand that if Sonny knows that I'm in love with you then why hasn't he said anything about why we divorced? Why weren't you ever at the hospital to see me?"

She was all ready back to her quick witted self, AJ thought. " Because Sonny wouldn't let me near you, he had body guards all around you so that way I couldn't get to you."

This way so overwhelming to Carly, she had to leave, she had to talk with Sonny. If what AJ was saying was true why didn't Sonny tell her? Besides, Sonny had said that she was to busy with her club and Michael, it didn't seem like she had time to have dated anyone. And why would she be uncomfortable with AJ if he was her lover, wouldn't she feel safe with him, like she did with Sonny.

"I have to go." Carly ran off, before AJ could say another word to her.

It was perfect, AJ thought, now Carly would run home to Sonny and ask him why he kept her from the man she loved. Now all he had to do was get Courtney away from Port Charles, which would be easy, he could send her to Paris and say that he had to stay behind to work with Grandfather on ELQ. She would go and be gone for at least two weeks, which would give him enough time to make up a lie about why Carly thinks that they are lovers.

"Now it's my turn to take something you love Corinthos."
