Chapter 5

Carly pulled back and shivered, still looking into his eyes. She had missed his touch, his caress, his everything.
"Sonny I--" She began but he silenced her by putting his finger to her mouth.
"It doesn't matter right now," He leaned in to kiss her again but this time it was longer and more passionate.

Lorenzo had searched all night and now all morning for her but with no luck. There was only one place he could think of that he hadn't checked yet but he had put off checking there so far. Obviously he couldn't put it off anymore. He got out of the elevator and went to the door with the assistance of his cane of course.
"You can't go in there," The guard warned him.
"Get out of my way." He warned back in a gruff voice. He found the handle and pushed the door open. The guard tried to pull him back but he persisted. "Where's Carly?" He demanded, entering Sonny's penthouse.

Carly's head jerked up from its spot on Sonny's bare chest. "Oh my god," She whispered.
Sonny sat up as she did and narrowed his eyes. "What is the meaning of this?" He bellowed, at both Lorenzo and the guard.
"He pushed his way in here, I'm sorry." The guard tried to protest.
"How hard is it to restrain a blind man?" Sonny demanded.
He pulled on his pants and his t-shirt. "What are you doing here?"
Carly wrapped the blanket around her and quietly bolted up the stairs. She shot a frightened look at Sonny before she disappeared from sight.
"Where is she?" Lorenzo repeated.
"Who?"
"Don't play games with me. Carly, where is she?"
"I haven't seen her since yesterday when I went to see Michael." He glanced upstairs but fortunately Lorenzo couldn't see that.
"I know you've seen her, just tell me where she is." Lorenzo's voice filled with more urgency.
"What did you do to her?" Sonny menacingly moved closer to him.
"I..I didn't do anything. I just need to find her."
"Liar," He breathed as he grabbed him by the collar. He glanced towards the guard. "Get out of here!"
"Just tell me where she is." Lorenzo repeated.
Sonny lifted him up and slammed him against the wall with a thud. Lorenzo's cane fell to the floor. "You asshole, what did you do to my wife?"
When he didn't reply, Sonny slammed him against the wall again, creating a louder thud. "Answer me dammit,"
"She's not your wife." He said, refusing to back down.
Sonny smashed a nearby cup and held a shard of glass to Lorenzo's throat. "You feel this? This is glass, pretty sharp too. It would do a nice job of slitting your throat."

Carly's shriek made him lose his grip on the shard of glass but he didn't quite drop it.
"Carly?" Both men whipped their head in the direction of her shriek.
Now in a spring dress, she rushed down the stairs.
"What are you doing down here?" Sonny demanded.
"What are you doing?" She rushed over to them and looked at Sonny with wide eyes.
"Just go back upstairs." He urged her.
She put her hand on his shoulder. "Let him go,"
Sonny looked at Lorenzo and back to Carly.
"Please!" She persisted.
He pushed him against the wall but let him go. He walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Are you okay?" She asked, looking him over for any cuts.
"I'm fine. Carly you have to let me explain. Come outside with me and we'll talk." Lorenzo grabbed her shoulders but she shrugged him off.
"No, I'm not going with you."
It was a good thing that Lorenzo couldn't see or else he would notice what disarray Sonny and Carly's clothes were in and guess what had happened between them.
"Please, you have to give me a chance."
"I already gave you a chance Lorenzo."
"But let me explain,"
Carly stepped back. "If you want to explain then go ahead but whatever you say is in front of Sonny too."

Sonny was concentrating on a spot on the floor but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alcazar touch her. He wanted to go over there and snap his hands in two, just for touching her but he resisted. What was Carly's deal anyway? After what they had shared not even half an hour ago, she was all about Alcazar again. But he last sentence caught his attention and he looked up. He could see the frustration on Alcazar's face and couldn't help but smirk.

"Yes Enzo, please enlighten us." Sonny drew out his words as he talked.
