Author's note: I am not a big Carly Fan and after the 2/14/03 shows I really don't like her so you have been warned.
Carly came stomping into Kelly's and slammed the door behind her. She looked around then walked straight to the Counter. Penny was taking the order of one of the startled customers. When Carly simply walked ups to her and started talking ignoring the customer.
"Penny, Have you seen Ric Lansing today?" she asked with annoyed attitude.
"Excuse me." Penny said to the Customer and then turned to Speak with Carly taking a deep breath and painting a false smile ion her face. "No, I don't think he has come down yet today."
"Oh really!" said Carly as she looked over at the staircase. "Where's Elizabeth Webber isn't this her shift?"
"Yes it is her shift but I'm working in her place." Penny answered. " She had some kind of accident and sprained her wrist so I'm covering for her." Carly simply turned and started walking towards the staircase so Penny turned back to her customer.
Bobbie came out of the Kitchen. Seeing Carly heading toward the staircase she realized where she was headed. " Carly.Wait.wait a minute!" She said as she hurried across Kelly's to catch up with her.
"No, Mom I need to speak to Ric," she said as she started up the stairs
Ric woke to the pleasure of Elizabeth wrapped in his arms still sleeping with her head against his chest. Her could feel her calm even breaths. She was at peace. It had been a very long night. Several times Elizabeth crying out in her sleep had awakened him. When that would happen he would simply pull her closer whispering that she was safe and everything would be all right. Sometime just before the sunrise he had finally gotten to sleep. Now even though he was awake he really didn't want to move. It was a new day and he really had no idea what it would bring. In these few moments of simply holding Elizabeth he felt peaceful for the first time in many years and he wasn't ready to give that feeling up. It was then that he heard the voices in the hallway.
Carly stood in front of Ric's room ready to knock when Bobbie grabbed her by her arm. " Carly wait don't knock on the door," she said now irritated with her stubborn daughter.
"Mom, Why should I? He just blew off two meetings with me yesterday! I deserve answers! He can't do that to Me." Carly said angry now her voiced raised.
"Carly, He's not alone," Bobbie said trying to reason with her. "Please lower your voice."
"What the Hell?.He blows off important meeting with me because he wanted to get laid unbelieveable!" Carly said throwing her hands in the air.
"Carly ! Lower your voice I have other tenets beside Ric."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, Its that stupid little witch Elizabeth Webber isn't it! She's been sniffing around him since he came to town! He blew me off to be with that little twit well I guess that just proves he isn't as smart as I thought." Carly said in a laughing tone as she paced in front of his door. " What is it with that Girl and men anyway. It certainly didn't take her long to find another Sucker to fall for her miss innocent act. I wonder if he was able to defrost the ice princess."
"Carly it is not what you think. Now will you stop throwing a fit and come downstairs. You are acting like a jealous shrew." Bobbie was angry now and had had quite enough of her daughter's tirade.
"No! No! Mom I want him to explain." Carly said as she raised her hand to knock.
Just as she started to knock the door opened. Ric stood there in his T- shirt and sweats, feet bare hair a mess and he was glaring angrily at Carly. "Ric you look like hell." She said surprised.
"Carly," Ric spit out. "Will you please lower your voice. If you will give me a few minutes to get dressed I will come downstairs to speak to you.
"But." she started and he interrupted her.
'I will down stairs in a minute now would you please be quiet. I don't want you to wake her." Ric said firmly as he shut the door quietly in her face.
"Ok fine, she said her voice still raised. "I will be waiting downstairs Romeo don't be to long," she said as she turned and followed her Mother downstairs.
Ric turned away from the door and walked over to the bed to check on Elizabeth. Seeing that she was still sleeping he pulled the covers back over her. Walking to his dresser he pulled out some clothes and went into the bathroom to change. Coming out he sat in the chair to put his shoes on. Looking up he realized that Elizabeth was awake and watching him. "Good morning," he said as he tied his last shoe.
"Good morning." She said looking down at the covers instead of at him and blushing.
Ric realize something was wrong so he went and sat on the edge of the bed an asked," What is the matter Elizabeth? Please tell me?"
"Ric, I'm sorry I really embarrassed myself last night." She said still not meeting his eyes.
"Why?" He asked his voice full of concern.
"I came on to you like a slut," She said finally looking up her eyes full of tears.
Ric reached over and wiped a tear that was falling down her cheek. He put his hand against her cheek and she leaned into his hand. "You are not a Slut! You did noting to be ashamed or embarrassed for. He said his tone gentle but firm. He leaned over and slowly kissed her. When she began to return the kiss her pulled her into his lap an kissed her a little deeper and then pulled back kissed her nose and gathered her in his arms for a hug. " Feel better? He asked.
"Yes," she said finally smiling brightly.
We have a lot of things to talk about and I want to do just that but at the moment I have a problem. I have to meet Carly downstairs she is on the warpath." He said as he sat her back down on the bed. "So please wait here for me and don't go running away I will just have to follow you."
"Ok!" she said in a joking tone. "I won't runaway until you get back."
As Ric Opened the door he said,"I am really happy to have you with me."
"I really Like being here," she said as he closed the door.
Carly was downstairs sitting at a table with Bobbie as she sipped coffee. "Ok Mom, what happened to Ric. What in the Hell has the Twit Elizabeth done now?"
"Carly," Bobbie said already clearly annoyed with her daughter. "The man who raped Elizabeth when she was sixteen was let out of prison a few days ago." She stopped to take a sip from her coffee. "Something happened yesterday that made Elizabeth flash back or something anyway she ran away upset and Ric found her."
"So Elizabeth was raped a few years ago. Well that explains a few things. What happened did someone get sick of her ice princess act?" Carly asked her Voice full of hate.
"Carl."Bobbie started to correct her daughter when she was interrupted.
"Don't Carly Me. So now what? Now that Jason has a new life going on without her she once again plays save me. So Jason will run to her rescue? She asked.
"Carly, it isn't an act and not everything has to do with Jason. She really was upset. Courtney says that Jason is out of town anyway." Bobbie was angry.
"So Jason Finally gets away from that two faced miss Goody toe shoes Webber and he sucker some other nice guy to come running to here rescue. Well you know what that little ice princess needs someone to tell her that she isn't even worth saving. Someone has to warn Ric," Carly said.
Ric had walked up behind Carly and stood there quietly listening to her little speech.
"Carly, enough!" Bobbie said trying to stop her daughter.
"Don't Carly, me Mom You." Carly said she started to say more when she was interrupted by Ric.
"Yes Carly he said That is, Enough!"
