"Go 'way," Layla mumbled as she rolled over in bed and looked at a bright eyed Emily staring back at her.
"I've gotta tell you something," Emily said as she laughed and pulled the covers off of her friend. "I met a guy last night!"
"What the hell do you mean you met a guy last night? When you left here you went over to your brothers and went to bed, did you meet this guy in the hallway on the way over there?"
"No silly," Emily laughed as she pulled the covers off yet again and started bouncing around the room. "I left his penthouse for a while and went out to a bar I used to know…now get your lazy butt out of bed and I'll tell you the rest."
"What do you mean a bar you used to know, you were barely eighteen when you left this place," Layla yelled after Emily and then she jumped out of bed, pulled a pair of jeans on over her boxers, and put a bra on under her wife beater.
When Layla finally made it downstairs Emily, Carly, Jason, Brenda, Sonny and Michael were all sitting in the living room talking. Like a real family, she thought with a smile.
"Good morning sunshine," Sonny said with an unbelievably annoying smile on his face.
"What the hell is wrong with you people?" Layla said as she plopped down on the couch next to Emily and looked over at the clock. "It's 8 o'clock in the damn morning and you all are up and ready to go. Is this an everyday type of thing and if so why don't I smell coffee?"
"Well she fits right into the family doesn't she? Cussing us out already," Carly turned her head a looked at Layla with pity in her eyes. "I'm sorry sweetheart, but Mr. Health conscious over there doesn't allow real coffee in his house only that cappuccino crap."
"What is wrong with you, waking up this early in the morning with only cappuccino to help you through the day?" Layla turned and asked a still smiling Sonny.
"Come on I'll take you to Kelly's you can get some coffee there and I'll tell you about my run in with Johnny last night," Emily said as she and Layla put on their coats and walked out the door, Emily throwing a victorious smile Jason's way before her head disappeared.
"Johnny?" Carly and Sonny said in unison.
"Tell me she didn't mean the Johnny that works for us," Sonny said.
"Well I think that's our cue to pretend that we like each other and take Michael across the hall to play at Uncle Jason's. What do you think?" Brenda said to Carly who was already half way out the door.
Once they got outside Brenda turned to Carly and said, "Don't worry I'll tell you everything as soon as we got across the hall."
"Johnny?" Sonny questioned again after Carly and Brenda had left. "Jason do you really think that is a good idea, especially with everything that has been going on lately. I mean I just moved him up and I don't want to have to kill him if he breaks her heart."
"He won't, I trust him" Jason said, he always had been a man of very few words and those were the most important and respectful he could or would ever use. Sonny had no argument for that, if Jason trusted someone than they definitely deserved it.
"So who is this Johnny guy?" Layla asked as the walked through the park to get to Kelly's.
"Are you ready for this?" Emily asked and waited for Layla to shake her head yes. "He works for Jason and Sonny, I've known him forever and I didn't notice just how gorgeous and sweet he was until last night. Can you believe it?"
"Can I believe that someone who works for them is gorgeous? Yes. I've seen your brother. Can I believe that he is going to let you see this guy? No."
"Yeah I couldn't either at first, but I guess Johnny talked Jason into it, either that or Jason was so busy staring at Brenda he didn't even know what he was saying. Either way I got what I want and that is totally good."
"Emily?" Both girls turned around to see what Layla could only describe as a beautiful dirty-blonde haired boy; no scratch that, he was very much a man.
"Hey Spencer." Emily said as she ran and jumped into the sexy mans arms.
"Hey brat, how's it going?" Lucky asked as he put her down. "My dad told me you called and I've heard rumors going around that you made a very…flashy entrance at the Quartermaine house last night."
"Man news does travel fast in this town doesn't it," Layla said in and amused tone which grabbed Lucky's attention and forced him to concentrate of the beautiful woman standing next to Emily.
"Yes, yes it does," Lucky, said as he kept his eye on her. "Emily are you going to tell me who your new friend is."
Before Emily could respond Layla had already told him her name and offered her hand for him to shake.
"Cool name," he replied and then inwardly smacked himself for the dorkiness of the response, until he notice that Layla was grinning at him apparently very amused by how flustered he had become.
"Hey," Emily yelled interrupting the silent communication between the two. "I hate to break up this love fest, but I'm cold and I would like to get coffee before noon tomorrow so can we continue on inside and you to can gaze at each other in there."
"Bite me," Layla said as she stepped through the door that Lucky was holding open for them.
"Oh man I don't know if I can do this," Emily said as she walked through the door to Kelly's and saw two people sitting at the counter kissing. Layla looked at the two people confused while Lucky inwardly groaned, he had forgotten that it was Liz's day to work and wherever she was Zander seemed to be lately.
"Come on," he said pulling on the two girls arms. "We can get coffee at my dad's that's about the only thing he can actually make." But before the three of them could get out the door Liz turned and saw them leaving.
"Emily…Emily is that you?" She said as she dislodged herself from Zander and walked across the diner. Zander stayed back a little utterly amazed at the fact he she was walking…and also because he had forgotten just how beautiful she actually was.
"Yeah it's me."
"I missed you so much," Liz said as she pulled her into a hug that left Emily feeling completely uncomfortable and annoyed.
"Did she actually think that it was acceptable to sleep with her best friends boyfriend and it would be okay," Layla thought. "Surely she didn't."
"So are you in town for good or is this just a visit?" Liz asked and Emily could almost see the hope spring into her face at the thought that she might not be staying.
"Oh we're back for a while…definitely." Layla said trying to spare Emily as much as she could from talking to the…
"Well yeah…but right now we I have to I promised Luke I'd stop by and see him. I sort of owe him one." Emily said as she unknowingly interrupted Layla's bad thoughts.
"Luke?" Liz said. "I didn't know you two were so close."
"Well, I am his son, so why wouldn't he be close with my best friend?" Lucky said as he pulled to two girls out of Kelly's not giving Liz a chance to respond or Zander a chance to come out of his temporary coma.
LUKE'S
"Hey dad are you here?" Lucky yelled as the three companions walked in to the club.
"Yeah, yeah I'm back here Cowboy trying to sort out these…" before he could finish his sentence the three of them heard a crash coming from the direction of Luke's office and went running back there.
"Dad…dad are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine, hey little darlin' how's it going?" Luke said as he looked over at Emily and then her friend. "Is this the owner of the other plane ticket I arranged?"
"Ummm…yes. Luke, meet Layla. Layla this is Luke Lucky's dad." Emily said as the two of them shook hands.
"Well, it's really nice to meet you," he said as he sat up in his chair. "And Emily I do want you to explain why I helped you out, but right now I'm gonna need my son's help trying to sort out all of this stuff for my taxes, so do you mind leaving us to get some work done?"
"No problem," they said simultaneously.
Lucky glared at his father as the two girls left the office and he held up his hand to indicate the he'd be back before he followed them out.
"Hey dad's got a really cool guy playing here tonight if you guys want to stop by later."
"Well I can't. I actually have a date tonight, but Layla can," she said as she nudged her friend on the shoulder.
"I don't know if I can find my way back here…"
"That's okay I can pick you up," Lucky interrupted. "Just tell me when and where."
"Well, right now I'm staying with my brother, Sonny Corinthos. I'm just going to assume you know him considering how tight everyone in this town seems to be. And you can pick me up at eight."
"Sonny?" Lucky said and then looked over at Emily for her confirmation. "Yeah I know who he is. Umm…wow. I didn't know he had a sister."
"Well neither did he until last night," Layla said a little confused at Lucky's sudden reluctance. "Is that going to be a problem?"
"No, not at all," Lucky answered and then the two girls left.
"Good job Cowboy, you really can pick can't you. I mean Sonny's little sister and right after you started working for him. This could be entertaining."
"Shut up dad," Lucky said as he snatch the glass of vodka out of his hand, and then something occurred to him and he looked over to his father. "You don't think he'll kill me do you?"
"Naw kid, just don't back down he'll try to scare you a little bit, but he knows your a relatively good guy. Just try not to hurt her, huh. I'd rather not have to go to another one of your funeral's."
"Shut up dad and help me with these receipts."
