"Yeah you wore me out." She laughs. "So what are
we going to do now?"



"What do you mean?" Sonny looks at her strangely.



"How do we get a divorce?"



"We're not" Sonny replies.



"What do you mean we're not?" Carly asks her voice
growing louder.



"Exactly what I said..." he says staring at her,
she stares back in disbelief.



"Well, you can't exactly expect us to stay
married." she says



"Why not? We got married, we're gonna stay
married, end of story."



"Who the hell died and made you boss, we don't
even know each other." she screams at him.



"I don't believe in divorce and I'm not going to."
he states as he walks over to pour himself a drink.



"Who exactly are you anyway?"



"I'm Sonny. I already told you that." he
says as he takes a sip of his drink.



"Well, I know that, do you have a last name?" she
is getting frustrated and starts to pace.



"Hey hey, just calm down.." he says as he walks
over and takes her hand leading her to the table and chairs. "How about I
order us some lunch and we'll discuss this?"



"LUNCH!!! Is that all you can think about is food?
first you wanted breakfast when we were trying to figure shit out and now you
want lunch, what exactly are you?? a pig??" she yells.



"A pig?? No, I don't think so, I just like to eat.
" he flashes his dimples "Now would you like something to eat? or would you like
to starve while you watch me eat?"



"Fine, I'll have a club sandwich and fries."



"Fries aren't' good for you, you should have
something else."



"Now your telling me what to eat?? You've got to
be kidding me" she stands up and walks over to him. "I will eat what I want and
you won't stop me."



"Fine, this time you may have what you want."
Sonny says as he picks up the phone to order.



"Whatever." Carly says as she stomps back to her
chair.



Sonny orders the food and walks back to the table.
"They said about ten minutes, now where were we?"



"We were discussing who you are" she yells. "Since
you seem to be all in charge. and how can you afford all this...?" she
asks pointing around the room.



"I own a coffee warehouse."



"Must be really good coffee." she says
sarcastically.



"Yes the business is doing well." he says. "Now
what about you?"



"I told you my name, I'm Caroline Benson, but
everyone calls me Carly, which by the way I still don't know your last name."



"I'm Micheal Corinthos, but everyone calls me
Sonny. Isn't that nice we both have nicknames." he says with a smile.



"Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever." she gets up from the
table. "I'll be right back, I have to use the restroom." she walks to the
bathroom.



"Hurry honey we're not done." Sonny laughs.



"Don't honey me, I'm not your honey." Carly yells
as she slams the door. Sonny just laughs and stares out the window.



A couple of minutes later as Carly exits the
bathroom, there's a knock at the door. Sonny walks over gets the food and
pays a handsome tip.



"See, I didn't know coffee paid that well." Carly
says.



"Well, I guess you don't know much, now come eat"
he says as he puts the food on the table.



"Grrrr, why do you keep doing that, you aren't my
boss."



"Fine,.....will you please come eat?" he asks.



"Fine...now where were we?" she asks.



"We were finding out about each other. I
know why I was in the bar that night, why were you?" he looks up and sees the
surprised and fearful look in her eyes.
