Where There's Smoke, There's Fire - Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam looks at Sonny as she gives him a small smile.
" I'm not kidding." says Sonny as he looks out onto the water.
" I know your not. I've been around. Alot. I've seen things that people should never see. And I've been with alot of men. And even more with the wrong men. Trust me, your not as bad as you think." says Sam.
" You don't even know me." says Sonny.
" Maybe not. But I know what's in your heart. I saw it that night when...when we were in my truck and you were talking about your wife. You love with your whole heart, Sonny. What's wrong with that? And don't pull the "mob" card because she knew what she was getting into when she married you." says Sam.
Sonny laughs.
" Mob card. Interesting way to put it. No it's not the business. I mean it is, but not this time. It's him.." says Sonny.
Carly flips her hair to one side as she moves her purse to the other side of her, making there be no room on the bench.
Ric lets out a small chuckle.
" Your still here?" says Carly as she looks back up at him.
" Nice to see you too, Carly. You alright? You look upset." says Ric.
" What do you want Ric?" says Carly.
" I don't want anything. I was just passing by, I saw you sitting here. You looked upset." says Ric.
" Why do you care?" says Carly.
Ric moves to the other side of the bench as he sits on the end.
" Your not gonna make this easy for me, are you?" says Ric.
Carly makes a face as she looks over at him.
" Make what easy for you, Ric? You want to be friends? Pals? Is that it? Well guess what, it's not gonna happen." says Carly.
" I've changed, Carly. I'm not the same person from that panic room." says Ric.
" Don't you dare throw that in my face." snaps Carly.
" Everyone deserves a second chance. You should know that better than anyone. I'd like to start over, try to be friends again. Like we were once." says Ric.
Carly sighs.
" I'm really not in the mood for this right now, Ric. Can you just leave me alone? Please? I just want to be by myself." says Carly.
" Did you get in a fight with Sonny?" says Ric.
" Yes, alright, yes! Are you happy now?! I'm miserable, you have your perfect little life as the "law of Port Charles", and Sonny and I have never been more unhappy. How's that?" says Carly.
Back At The Docks...
" The man you shot? Lorenzo?" says Sam.
Sonny nods.
" He keeps...he keeps pushing. He won't stop. No matter what Carly tells him, no matter what I tell him or do.." says Sonny.
" He's only a man. Your her husband. Why do you let him get to you?" says Sam.
" Lorenzo Alcazar is a hard man to ignore. He's like a sickness..like a disease that eats away at you. He's destroying everything Carly and I have built. He makes her think things that aren't real, tells her what she feels.." says Sonny.
" Have you aked her? What she feels? I mean, does she have feelings for him too?" says Sam.
Sonny puts his head down.
" She says she dosen't." says Sonny.
" You don't believe her?" says Sam.
" She just, she has this look when she talks about him. Like she's hiding something. I trust Carly.." says Sonny.
Sam tucks a piece of her hair behind her ear.
" That's good. Because without trust, there's no reason to be married. That's why I've never come close. I don't trust anyone. It's a curse." says Sam.
" I used to be like that. Then I met a woman before Carly, and she changed my life. Then she broke my heart, and everything..the trust, love. Gone. All gone." says Sonny.
" Brenda, right?" says Sam.
Sonny looks at her surprised.
" How do you know about Brenda?" says Sonny.
Sonny starts to laugh before Sam can answer.
" Never mind, I know exactly how you know about her. Candyboy wouldn't shutup about her, right? Am I right?" says Sonny.
Sam looks at her confused, but with a smile on her face.
" I'm sorry, Candyboy?" says Sam with a laugh.
" Jax..Candyboy..whatever. All he does is whine about Brenda, and about me." says Sonny.
" Well, I mean all he told me was that she hurt him, because you hurt her." says Sam.
" We both did. And she hurt herself. We all three sort of hurt eachother..it's complicated." says Sonny.
" Yeah, I can see that. Seems like all this town is, is complicated." says Sam.
Sonny lets out a sigh.
" Your damn right." says Sonny.
