"But Car--" Lorenzo started but Carly interrupted him.
"It's now or never." She crossed her arms and stared defiantly at
him.
Not that it would do her any good, he couldn't see her.
"Fine, I see how it is." Lorenzo turned and started to walk out
the door.
"Oh you see do you? And how exactly do you do that?" Sonny asked.
Lorenzo grimaced and slammed the door behind him.
"God I'm sorry." Carly said, turning to face Sonny.
"What was that all about?" He asked.
"Don't worry about it."
"Why did you make me stop?"
She paused. "Sonny I love you and nothing is going to change that but
I wasn't going to let you throw your life away."
She pulled him down onto the couch. "I have to tell you something
important."
"It meant as much to me as it did to you." Sonny said with a
smile.
Carly smiled back as she felt her heart fill with happiness. "You don't
know how much that means to me but that's not what I meant."
"What else could you mean?" He asked, a silly grin on his face.
"I overheard--" She was interrupted by the door opening again.
"Alcazar!" Sonny growled as he turned but it was only the guard.
"What is it?"
"Ms. McCall?" He said quietly, seemingly afraid after the fiasco
with Lorenzo.
Carly jumped up as visible
hurt crossed her beautiful face. "I'll be upstairs."
"But Carly..." He sighed as she disappeared up the stairs again.
He rubbed his temples.
"Ms. McCall?" The guard asked again.
"What? Oh yes, let her in."
Sam stood in the doorway with a smile on her face. "I'm not intruding
am I?"
"I thought you were at the safe house."
"I was,"
"You left?" He accused.
"With my chaperon of course." She gestured to Jason who was
standing behind her, a frown coming over her features.
Sonny thought of the hurt that was so clear on Carly's face when Sam showed
up. It nearly broke his heart.
"I need you to go upstairs and find Michael's toy. He left it here
last time." Sonny said to Jason.
Jason frowned in confusion but obediently went upstairs. He figured that
Sonny just wanted time alone with Sam but why didn't he just say so.
He was passing Sonny's room when he saw some movement out of the corner of
his eye. He pulled out his gun and quietly looked into the room.
"Carly?" He asked with amazement.
"Shhh!" She scolded him as she looked up.
"Carly?" He asked again, quieter this time. "What are you
doing here?"
"Going camping, what do you think?"
He looked around. "Does Sonny know you're here?"
Carly looked at him with a dumfounded look. "Of course Sonny knows I'm
here! How else would I get in here in the first place?"
"You're determined and resourceful, you tell me." He crossed his
arms across his chest and looked at her.
She sighed and pulled him down so he was sitting on the bed next to her.
"I've been here since last night."
Now it was Jason's turn to look at her with a dumfounded look.
She rolled her eyes and continued. "I um, was petty drunk last night
and Sonny brought me here so the boys wouldn't see me."
He nodded as he continued to watch her.
"And we...well you know but I think it really means something. At
least it did to me and Sonny said it did to him too but then Sam shows up just
as I'm about to tell him..." She stopped and looked at him. "Never
mind,"
"Tell him what Carly?" He prodded.
She looked at him, her brown eyes widened in fear. "I'm scared
Jase."
"Don't worry, you and Sonny will work everything out eventually."
"No not that. I know something that could ruin his...our and someone
else's life." She admitted.
"What is it?" He asked.
She looked down and stared at the floor.
"Carly, if it affects Sonny he needs to know. So do I,"
"I know and I was about to but little miss 'Look At Me I'm The Whore
Of The Month' showed up." She said bitterly.
He cracked a grin at her not so flattering name for Sam.
"It's not funny Jase. I know I have to tell him it's just how am I
going to do it, that's the problem."
"You need to tell him soon before he finds out some other way."
Jason warned for what seemed like the millionth time.
"I know," She said with an exasperated sigh.
She walked to the doorway and tried to look down the stairs. "What do
you think they're talking about?"
Jason shrugged and looked uninterested.
"Do you think he's telling her about me?"
