A/N: I know this a little shorter than usual, but I felt that I should leave things as they were. Thanks for all the continued support everyone! It means a lot…

This applies for both parts: Its now over a year since Brenda's return to PC. Brenda is starting to move on with her life and leaving the life she had with Eric in the past. Basically, she's ready to start thinking about other men. I hope no one felt it was too rushed, but I felt this was necessary to keep things moving along…

PART A

Brenda answered the door with her phone to her ear.

"Hey" she whispered and smiled at Sonny standing on the other side. She quickly ushered him in from the cold November day.

Sonny paced around the living room as he waited for her to finish her phone call. His nervousness was getting the best of him. As Brenda hung up the phone he took a deep breath.

"So what brings you out here? Is everything ok?"

"Yeah, everything's good. Actually, I came here to ask you something"

"Ok, shoot"

"So I'm not quite sure how you'll react to this. Maybe I shouldn't even be asking"

"Well I guess you won't know till you ask…"

"Yeah. I was wondering if you would like to join me for dinner tomorrow night. It just seems like it's been a long time since you've been out. Besides, we really haven't spent a lot of time together lately." Sonny looked up at Brenda, glad to have the question off his chest.

"Dinner….as in what?"

Sonny grinned, but only for an instant. "As in a date, I guess. But, if that's too much for now, just say the word and I'll back off"

Brenda took a deep breath. "I don't know. It has been a long time. Almost a year and a half now since Eric died" She paused and looked back at Sonny. Of course, it wasn't just the timing. It was the man himself. Was she sure about this?

"No pressure, I promise. We don't even have to call it a date. We'll just get something to eat and talk and just enjoy each other's company"

Brenda nodded slowly. "It really has been a long time since I've been out. But let's not call it a date just yet, ok?"

Sonny nodded and smiled. She was giving him another chance, and that was all that mattered.

PART B

Sonny parked his car and was not surprised to see Jason's bike sitting in the driveway as well. He sighed, They both keep telling me that nothing is going on between them, but I can't help but doubt that. He got out of his car and slowly walked up Brenda's driveway. As he approached the door he could hear the musical sound of Brenda's laughter.

"That was the best part of the movie!"

"I can't even believe you would say that. You're such a girl"

"And you would prefer I was what?"

"All I'm saying is that the fight scene was much better than the emotional weepy scene"

"Always the mobster, aren't you? For your information the 'emotional weepy scene' had far more depth than the violence you're talking about" Brenda said sticking her tongue out at Jason.

Jason laughed at her childish ways. "You're just lucky I like you, otherwise I would not be bothering with stupid chick flicks"

"Chick flick! It had a fight scene, what do you want?"

They both started laughing at that. "Fine next time you can pick the movie" Brenda surrendered.

"That only works if you don't yell at me for my selection" Jason grinned at the face Brenda made in response.

"Well maybe if you got some taste I wouldn't have to yell" Brenda said placing her hand against his chest.

Jason covered her hand with his and smiled back. "You know, I'm really glad we learned to fight without hating each other"

"Hey, I never said I didn't hate you. What I said six years back is still true. I'm grateful for your help, but I still hate your guts!" Brenda said very seriously before breaking into a large smile. "I guess its time to clean up" Brenda said as she got up to fold the blanket and put away the popcorn.

"Let me help" Jason quickly got up as well, almost knocking over Brenda in the process. Luckily for her he caught her just in time and pulled her against him to steady her.

Their faces were inches apart and as Brenda looked up at Jason he leaned down and gently kissed her. The soft kiss soon turned into more as Brenda wrapped her arms around his neck.

Sonny, watching this from the door, felt like his heart was breaking all over again. Angry, envious and dejected he left the door, got in his car and went home.
