Feedback: stingrayfan@hotmail.com
Sonny had finished getting dressed and was waiting on Carly to come out of the bathroom. "How long does it take women to get ready anyway?" he wonders to himself. He gets up and walks over to the bar and pours himself a drink. Just as he starts to take a sip the bathroom door opens and Carly steps out.
"Wow" he says as he stares at her.
"You like?" she asks.
He walks over and grabs the back off her head and pulls her into a kiss. She opens her mouth to let him in and they battle for all its worth. He pulls back slightly.
"Does that answer your question?"
"Yeah" she answers with a laugh. " You don't look half bad yourself" looking at him in a tuxedo, thinking to herself, he looked damn good. "So where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." he says and walks over to the nightstand, opens the drawer and pulls something out.
"This is for you" he hands her the box.
"What is it?" she asks
"Open it and find out." he says and watches on as she opens the box.
"Oh Sonny....it's beautiful." She says as she pulls out a wrist corsage with a white rose with the tips died to match the color of her dress, and baby's breath all around it. He takes it from her and holds it out, while she slips her hand through the loop. She reaches up and kisses him on the cheek. "thank you"
"Your welcome" he walks toward the door and holds out his arm. "Shall we go?"
She smiles and grabs his arm and they head out the door. They headed down the elevator and through the lobby. People all over the lobby watched as they walked through taking in the site of them, thinking they were so in love, little did they know. Carly and Sonny didn't notice anyone else, they were to caught up in each other.
Sonny leads her out the front doors to where a long white limo is waiting for them.
"Another limo Sonny?" she asks as he opens the door and helps her in.
"Yup, don't leave home without it." he replies.
She gets in and goes to take a seat when she sees a bouquet of the same roses that are in her corsage on the seat. "Oh Sonny, they're beautiful"
"Just like you" he leans in and kisses her. She kisses him back with everything in her.
"So you going to tell me where we're going now?" she leans back against the seat as they pull of and head down the road.
"We're going out on the town"
"Well I figured that, but where."
"Now why would I tell, that would ruin the surprise, just sit back relax and we'll be there shortly.
A couple minutes later they pull up in front of a hotel. The driver opens the door and they both step out. Carly looks around and realizes they are at another hotel. She looks up at Sonny question but he just shrugs and leads her inside. He leads her down to a ballroom.
"Wow" Carly says as she looks around.
A waiter walks up to them, takes a look at Sonny and nods. Carly looks up at Sonny wondering what's going on. Sonny just shrugs. They follow the waiter to their a table.
Sonny steps in front of Carly and pulls out her chair. She sits down and he goes to sit in his.
"What will you have to drink?" the waiter asks.
Sonny says, "We'll have a bottle of your best wine and two glasses of water please." he looks over at Carly and she nods.
"Do you know what you'll be having?"
"I'll take anything but fish" she says looking at Sonny.
"Two specials please." Sonny tells him and the waiter heads off.
"Sonny how can you afford all this?" Carly asks.
"Are you always so suspicious of people?" he retorts.
Carly looks down and frowns. "I've had to learn to be that way."
He reaches over and places her hand in his. "I'm sorry Carly, I didn't mean to upset you. Let's just say, I'm not exactly poor.
"Okay." she responds and entwines her fingers in his. They watch the other couples dance to the soft music and just sit there and relax. Sonny watches Carly while she watches the others. He can't believe how much she has grown on him in twenty-four hours.
The waiter brings their food to the table.
"This looks great Sonny, thank you."
"Your welcome, let's eat." they eat in silence, both thinking about how they feel about the other. They sip their wine and finish eating. Carly sits back against the chair.
"Wow, I'm full." she says patting her stomach.
"How about we work some of this food off?" he stand up and reaches a hand to her, "how about a dance?"
She takes his hand and he leads her out onto the dance floor, The music is slow and Sonny holds her against him. They sway to the rhythm and Carly puts her head on Sonny's shoulder.
After a couple minutes Sonny feels his shoulder getting wet. He pulls back and lifts Carly's face to him.
"Carly, honey, what's the matter?"
