TITLE: nope, I still haven't changed it
AUTHOR: still me, Micky
DISCLAIMER: They still aren't mine no matter how much I try to convince 'em. j/k. I am making no profit from this piece of fiction.
SYNOPSIS: Still fixated on Alcazar's soliloquy's. Still toying with the idea of an appearance by Mrs. Corinthos herself. We'll have to see.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thank you all once again for your wonderful feedback. I wasn't sure if I was going to continue because I had no idea where this thing was going (still don't actually) and I wasn't sure if I really liked it anymore. But since you were all so nice in your reviews I thought I'd give you some more. This takes places after and kind of during the episode on 8/13/03.
Reviews always welcome.
PS I have nothing against Courtney and I really like her but the views stated here are those I think Alcazar would have.
Lorenzo stood at the door to Kelly's, looking through the window and watching Carly. She was right there, sitting on a stool at the counter. She looked calm, happy, but impatient. She must be waiting for someone. As he took in the room around her he could see no guard. He found that curious, as he was sure Sonny would have her followed by a guard everywhere now. He looked more carefully and still couldn't see one. Either the guard blended in well, he was incompetent, or Carly had given him the slip. He was going for the last two. If that were so, he could waltz right in and waltz right back out with Carly. Simple, neat, clean and tidy. There was just one problem.
He wanted her to come of her own free will.
After yet another argument with Courtney (she was so damn annoying), he had thought about it. Courtney was right. Carly would never divorce Sonny. He was always on her mind and she loved him very much. But Alcazar wanted Carly with him. And so he began to plan, scheme and formulate a plot. He'd come up with all sorts of schemes with Luis for business reasons, so now he applied those skills to this particular situation.
He wanted her to come of her own free will.
The first part of the plan he had formulated was to get off the yacht and into Port Charles without detection. He had taken the helicopter from the yacht to the jet in Leon. The jet had then flown him to a private hangar near New York City. He had then driven from there to Port Charles. All the traveling had given him time to think. Think about the plan. Think about Carly.
He wanted her to come of her own free will.
Courtney had said Carly had been playing him. And she probably had at times. During their backgammon games he could practically see the wheels in her brain turning as she schemed on how to use things to her advantage and play him. But there had also been other moments. Like during her premature contractions when she had looked at him with such fear. There had been nothing but truth and honesty between them. And after the contractions had stopped and she thanked him for helping her and believing in her, there was no lying in her eyes, she wasn't playing a game. And as he had seen the truth in her chocolate brown eyes something had happened.
He wanted her to come of her own free will.
She was lightning. She was fire. She was damn explosive. Carly had a spark. She exuded life. She glowed and happiness seemed to flow out of every pore. This woman was amazing. He now understood Luis's weakness for Brenda. Jason's weakness for Courtney. Sonny's weakness for Carly. Lorenzo was developing an ultimate weakness for Mrs. Corinthos. And he couldn't just take her. No, because his feelings were so deep and he wanted her to feel free.
He wanted her to come of her own free will.
It would seem impossible to many that Carly would walk away and leave everything of her own free will. The husband she had married three times. The son she had fought for so hard. Her other family and friends she cared for so deeply. She couldn't just leave them. And that was why he was falling in love with her. She was loyal. But that loyalty left her with one weakness. She would do anything to protect her family. Including Courtney.
He wanted her to come of her own free will.
Sure he could waltz in there and back out with her with him. But then she would be constantly fighting to be set free. Duping the guards and playing him. But if she came of her own free will to protect others in her family, she would follow the deal and keep it. And stay with him as long as he needed her.
He had a plan to convince her to come with him. A proposition of sorts for her. And her loyalty and need to protect her own would cause her to take it. She would willingly waltz out of Port Charles with him.
She would come of her own free will.
He hoped.
