Chapter 7
The door had been closed and Sam was now standing next to the
couch, taking a sip of the drink Sonny had gotten her while he was sitting.
"Are you free today?" Sam asked, a sparkle in her eye. "I
thought maybe we could do something together. Like going on my boat, or going
dancing or anything you want."
Sonny inwardly bit his lip while he tried to think of what to say. Well he
knew what to say, just how to say it.
"What do you think?" Sam asked, interrupting his thoughts.
"What?" He asked, startled.
"What do you think?"
"I'm sorry, about what?"
Sam tried not to let it bug her as she sat down on the couch next to him.
"About what we can do today."
"Oh Sam I can't. You see..." He stopped when he realized that she
was no longer listening. He followed her gaze to where Carly's bra was. She
picked it up with the very tips of her fingers and turned to face Sonny.
"Who's is this?" She asked.
They were interrupted when a crash came from upstairs. She looked up just
in time to see Carly standing up, holding a broken lamp. She turned to Sonny
for an explanation but he was still staring at Carly.
"I need to stop doing that," She mumbled with a slight chuckle
but then realized that no one else knew what she was talking about.
Jason appeared at her side and took the broken lamp from he hands and
placed it on the table.
"I'm going to go," Carly said, the stares that everyone was
giving her were making her jittery.
She walked down the stairs, she had already put on her shoes upstairs.
"Um that would be mine," She said as she snatched her bra out of
Sam's hands. She grabbed her purse and went out the door before anyone had a
chance to say anything.
Jason followed closely behind her.
As soon as the door closed, Carly turned to Jason. "Can you believe
that? He just chose her over me!"
"You're the one that left of your own free will. Sonny was hiding you
upstairs, that does not implicate in any way that he wanted to choose her over
you."
"You're right," Carly said as they entered the elevator.
She stuffed the bra into her purse.
"I know." Jason said as the doors closed.
Sam stood staring at her hands where Carly's bra had been a few moments
ago, after she and Jason had left.
"Sam I can explain." Sonny started but Sam waved him off.
"You don't need to. I knew this...us was only temporary. You even told
me so."
"But still!" Sonny tried again.
"No, I knew that you and Carly would eventually get back together. It
was all a matter of time." She turned so he wouldn't see the tears forming
in her eyes.
"I'm sorry."
She looked up and blinked back the tears. She wouldn't let him see her show
any emotion. She turned back to face him. "Don't be."
"Sam..."
"It's fine, I know now that we're over. We never really had anything
to begin with. Just a nice roll in the hay every now and then right?" She
laughed to herself.
"Sam I'm sorry..."
"I said it's fine. I've got to go now." She opened the door but
turned back for a moment. "And Sonny,"
"Yes?" He asked.
"I'm happy for you and Carly. I really am and I know there are alot of
other people who will be too." With that, she closed the doors behind her
and the tears began to fall. She pushed the elevator button impatiently and got
into it when it finally opened.
"Goodbye Sonny," She whispered as the doors closed.
