Chapter 8:
"Sonny, I want you to meet my new girlfriend."
"Zander, who is she?"
"Carly Benson, this is Sonny Corinthos.."
Carly pretended like she didn't know him. "Nice to meet you."
"What? Zander, she's your girlfriend."
"Yep. Why don't you guys get to know each other?" Zander left them alone.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, Carly?"
"Look, just because you don't want me doesn't mean that Zander doesn't."
"You're using him to get to me!"
"You know what? I don't care what you think."
"Hey, Sonny. What's going on here?"
"Nothing." He pulled Alexis away from Carly and told her what had happened.
"I can't believe that she would use Zander like that. Poor guy."
"I'm going to talk to Zander about her. He's my friend and he deserves to know what's going on."
"That's a good idea."
"Hey, Sonny, Alexis. So, Sonny, what do you think of Carly? Isn't she great?"
"Zander, I need to talk to you alone. Excuse us, Alexis."
Alexis got up and gave them some privacy.
"What is it, Sonny?"
"It's about Carly. There's no easy way to say this."
"Say what?"
"Carly's using you, Zander."
"What do you mean?"
"She likes me and she's using you to get to me."
"You're just jealous, Sonny. I can't believe that you would tell me such a horrible thing about Carly. I like her, Sonny. I thought you were my friend."
"I am your friend! That's why I'm telling you this."
"As of now, you're not my friend. Friends don't lie to each other."
Zander slammed the door and ran out of the room. Sonny smacked his hand on the table.
"Damn!"
"Hey, I'm sorry, Sonny. He'll come around and see that she's just using him. Come here."
Alexis wrapped her arms around him and gave him a hug.
"Sonny, you want to go out in the hall and talk?"
"Ok."
"Ok, just let me get my stuff."
She grabbed her bag, her books, and her jacket and followed Sonny out the door.
"Here, let me get those books."
They sat down on the floor next to the door of the office.
"I don't understand how he didn't believe me."
"Love is blind. It makes you do stupid things. Don't worry, Sonny. He'll realize that you're right."
"I hated hearing him say that we weren't friends anymore."
"I know."
You're such a great friend, you know that? None of the guys would be so willing to sit out here and listen to me whine."
"I don't mind. That's what friends do for each other, Sonny. They comfort each other and listen to each other."
"Thanks. You've been a great friend and I want to make it up to you."
"You don't have to do anything to make it up to me. I'm glad to help you."
"I know, but I want to. So, how about I take you out to dinner on Friday? "
"That sounds great. Whoa, my leg's asleep. Help me off the floor?"
He stuck out his hand. She took it and pulled herself up.
"Try to walk it off."
Alexis took a step and stumbled. Sonny caught her just as she was going to fall.
"Easy there."
"Thanks for catching me when I fell."
"I'll always be here to catch you when you fall."
"That's sweet, Sonny." She looked into his eyes. She swore she could see his soul in them. Hesitantly, his mouth inched down toward hers. She titled her head and their mouths met in a sweet kiss.
"That was.wow."
"I'm speechless."
"That's a first." He chuckled.
"Are you saying I talk too much?"
"Come here." He kissed her again.
Hidden from Sonny and Alexis' view, Carly was watching them.
"Well, she's the reason why he doesn't want me. Hmm. I'd never thought he'd go for Miss Goody-two shoes. I'll have to take care of her. Then, he'll be all mine."
"Sonny, I want you to meet my new girlfriend."
"Zander, who is she?"
"Carly Benson, this is Sonny Corinthos.."
Carly pretended like she didn't know him. "Nice to meet you."
"What? Zander, she's your girlfriend."
