Disclaimer: I own nothing about GH.
Well here I am again another chapter. I have been getting great feedback from you loyal reviewers and readers. Your votes were much appreciated. So the results are.
Carly/Lorenzo by a landslide of votes. Sonny was no contest to Lorenzo.
Emily/Zander got a landslide of votes as well. Sorry Nem fans
Sonny/Liz/Jason now this is still in the air. It's anybody's ballgame. So it could be Siz or Liason. Poor Courtney didn't get any votes. It got me wondering is the Journey really over. For all you Courtney fans out there I might have some special for Courtney. Beware of twist and turns.
Chapter 5 ~Alcazar Penthouse~
Carly stood at in front of Alcazar's penthouse door and baled her hand into a fist preparing to knock for the third time. In mid swing, she took her hand away again and sighed. 'I shouldn't even be here,' she thought 'Sonny and Jason would hit the roof if the knew I was here again, but I need to see with my own eyes that he's okay.'
She again stepped to the door this time knocking. On the other side, of the door Lorenzo smiled delightfully that she finally knocked having his people watching her worked to his advantage. He opened his door to the remarkable woman who had won him over.
Carly eyes widened "Oh God" she said framing her hands around his face looking at the discolored bruising and cuts around his neck. "I thought you said you were okay."
"Its not as bad as it looks, I've been worse, this is nothing, he said placing his hands over hers. He involuntarily began to stroke the back of her hand with his thumb. The intimate gesture sent a wave shivers down Carly's spine. Carly daringly let her gaze lift to his eyes. She noticed that his eyes were different. From the first moment she met him, his eyes were cruel and cold, so cold that the hottest summer sun couldn't warm them. All she knew now is that those sheets of ice had melted into deep pools of blue and she began to drown in them. She knew this was all wrong but couldn't tear her gaze away. Lorenzo saw her internal struggle and decided to press his luck. He let go of her hand and moved his hand down to rest on her waist. He leaned in anticipating the taste Carly's lips held. He came down in felt the brush of her cheek against his lips. Carly starting pulling away, at this moment Lorenzo felt Carly slipping from his fingers like grains of sand.
"I have to go. Sonny's waiting on me," she said shakily
He sighed and stuffed his hands in his pockets rocking on his heels. "I see." Trying not to sound dejected but failed miserably. Carly quickly dug to the bottom of her purse. "Here" she said handing him the ointment cream. "You and Mrs. Lansing think alike she gave me the same one."
"Elizabeth"
'Yes she was quite attentive to me last night," he smiled baiting her into jealousy
"Well, she does that. She fix you up then rip you apart. Remembering her version of how Elizabeth and Jason's relationship was.
"Oh what's that suppose to mean." Noticing the hint of animosity her voice held. He needed to find out how deep it went.
"Oh nothing she just has everyone thinking she's an angel when she and I both know it's the farthest thing from the truth. She makes herself the victim in any situation."
"Oh she's that kind of person." The wheels in Lorenz's head started turning.
"Well enough about 'muffin' I should be going. Maybe I'll see you around. You take care of yourself.
"I will," and hopefully you too he added silently. Carly walked to the door "Oh by the way watch your back."
"Indeed." Once Carly left he picked up his phone from his desk. "Yeah its me I want a complete file on Elizabeth Webber-Lansing. I want yesterday. He put the phone back on its receiver. "Well Mrs. Lansing you're two for two today. You're going to come in handier than I originally thought.
~Elizabeth's Studio~
Elizabeth's body was slumped in a heap on her studio floor. The light from the window seemed only to shine where she sat. She sat in the spotlight listening to the sound of her own tears. Her sobs subsided into small whimpers. She was so lost in her inner turmoil, she never heard the heavy footsteps behind her. He knelt down to her level. He wasn't sure if she knew he was there or not. So he hesitated before slipping his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. This position was all too familiar too him. It was the same position he held her the night Lucky 'died'.
Elizabeth felt someone pull her in their embrace, at that point she didn't care who it was. She just needed someone to lean on even if for a moment. Sonny and Elizabeth sat there in a comfortable silence for a few moments. During that time Sonny noticed the envelope addressed to Elizabeth in Ric's handwriting. He silently cursed his S.O.B. of a brother, what had he done now.
He was bought out of thought when Liz began to pull away, she turned and uttered a thank you while wiping her red puff eyes. "No need to thank me, you done the same for me." He replied. Liz smiled weakly "So what happened?" he asked holding the envelope. "What did he do now?"
Elizabeth gathered herself "Well you'll be ecstatic to know Ric left P.C. indefinitely. He left with Faith." She closed her eyes to get her next sentence out. "She-She's pregnant with Ric's child." More tears formed in her mid-night blue orbs.
"That's going to be a rotten child," he said in an attempt to amuse her. She stifled a laugh and a genuine smile. "Uh-Oh was that a smile I saw?" he asked flashing his dimples trying to get Liz to look at him. She smiled "Okay, okay it's a smile."
"Good but in all seriousness Elizabeth he's not worth your tears. He didn't deserve you, and you were far too good for him."
"Maybe but I still put my heart out there for him to trample on. So-- "He's a damn fool to take you for granted, like your someone who walks in his life on a daily basis. The only mistakes you make are the ones in being loyal to a fault. You've always been loyal, always wanting to see the best in people and that's a rare quality. He admitted honestly."
"You mean I'm naïve." "No, you're one of the few kind hearted people left in the world. He smiled
"Thank You Sonny although I don't deserve your comforting words after I scrutinize and look down on your line of work." Sonny took Elizabeth's hand in his. "Elizabeth I really never paid attention to any of that."
"Really," she asked astonished, after all the horrible things she said about him and Jason he didn't care. "Why?" she asked
"I knew it was your friends like Nicky and Lucky, including your grandmother that filled your head with those scenarios." The more Elizabeth thought more he sounded right. Liz snaked her arms around Sonny's neck "Thank you" in turn he hugged her back.
Jason walked in on a sight that strangely made him angry. "Hey" he called from the doorway. "Hey I was just on my way down to the limo." Sonny was so wrapped up in Elizabeth he totally forgot his reason for coming Lorenzo Alcazar.
"By the way Elizabeth my purpose for being here is Alcazar. Now I know you don't like to be told what to do, but trust me and don't let Alcazar pull you in his game he's playing. Jason butted in "You're already involved too far. Whoever tried to off Alcazar last night could come after you and Carly for your rescue operation."
"Elizabeth we need to but a guard on you. You'll never know he's there."
"Is a guard really necessary?" as she thought of having somebody watch her 24/7.
"At this point it is," Jason answered. "If you feel it's necessary, do what you gotta do as long it's Francis, Johnny, or Max."
"Thank you Elizabeth other wise I'd have to go behind your back." Sonny smiled, and Liz couldn't help but smile when he flashed that million-dollar smile. "There's that smile again I'm on a roll. This time Liz's eyes lit up with amusement.
"Well Jason or I will be in-touch, but now we should really go. Once they left Elizabeth apartment complex in the limo Jason let his questions fly. "What was that all about?"
"What"
"You and Elizabeth the smiling and the hugging."
"Well Ric and Faith left town hallelujah" he said and "Faith is pregnant she was still hurting over Ric she needed a friend." He said flatly
"So you and Elizabeth have rekindled a friendship with each other." slightly disappointed because it wasn't him she confided in.
"I wouldn't go that far and say we rekindled a friendship, but it's a start."
Jason wanted to ask more questions but sat back and stared out his window trying to whip the picture of Elizabeth and Sonny in each others arms. He didn't understand why it bothered him so that Sonny reconnected with Liz, his Liz he thought. I shouldn't care its their decision, yet seeing them struck a cord within, and now the cord continued to vibrate.
