Chapter Twelve: The Surprise Part 1
"That's not what we agreed to. Damnit Roscoe. I don't want any more trouble from you. I told you, I am starting fresh, I don't want to run illegal money and drugs through my docks" Lorenzo argued quickly in the kitchen.
"We had a deal a few months ago, Alcazar. My people are waiting for your docks to be open for that shipment to pass through smoothly. Now, you don't want me sending one of my extras after your sweet Courtney, do you?" Faith grinned evilly.
Lorenzo paused a moment, he didn't want Courtney to get hurt. He had to make this one last transfer to be finished with all of this. For good.
"Okay, one last shipment. But we are over after this. I can't afford any suspicions with this, Courtney's Company isn't a drug-house" Lorenzo turned around, placing his hand on his hip.
"Okay, Okay. Mr. Grumpy. One last shipment, then I'm through. Besides, this could be great for me. I will finally be on top of Sonny. Well, not literally, but you know what I mean" Faith continued on, then was interrupted.
"End of discussion, Faith" Lorenzo slammed his cell phone closed.
"Lorenzo?" Courtney called, walking into the kitchen. "Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine. Just had to make a quick phonecall" He smiled, and walked over to her.
"Have you found a movie you would like to watch?"
"Yes, I think so. Come and see" Courtney quickly smiled.
"Titanic?"
"Yes, Titanic. I know it's old, but I like it. How about you?" Courtney asked teasing.
"I do as well. Let's watch it" Lorenzo said smiling. He reached down to pick up the movie and placed it in the dvd player. "Oh, I almost forgot. Be right back" Lorenzo quickly walked to the kitchen.
Courtney's eyebrow raised with curiosity.
"Popcorn and Smoothies" Lorenzo returned, both in hand.
"Popcorn and smoothies?" Courtney laughed. "Odd combination, but it sounds great"
"It is, you have to try these two together" Lorenzo handed her the bowl, and the smoothie, and seated himself on the couch.
Courtney sat right after, staring at the smoothie and then the popcorn. "All set"
"It's been too long since I have seen a movie, especially this one" Lorenzo said, sipping his smoothie.
"Me too, I've been so busy lately, it's nice to do these simple things. Thank you for all of this" Courtney smiled.
"It's no problem at all, Courtney. In fact, it's my pleasure doing this for you. It makes me happy to see that your happy" Lorenzo smiled right back, with that charming smile of his.
One hour into the movie, Courtney was already fighting herself trying to stay awake. Lorenzo didn't mind this at all, especially when she leaned on his shoulder, during the rest of the movie.
He didn't want to disturb her though, so he kept still. Admiring her pretty blonde hair, he couldn't help but touch it, running his fingers through it. He looked down to see if she stirred. Not a movement was made. She amused him, she looked so innocent by him.
The movie had ended 10minutes earlier, of course, he didn't want to wake her up. So, he let her sleep, with his arm around her other shoulder, his head beginning to tilt on hers, from his own drowsiness. His legs were crossed like they usually were when he sat, hers rested up on the couch. They slept in silence for what seemed like hours. Only one last thing would make this moment perfect. If it lasted forever. Ah, yes, forever is a very long time. But worth spending together.
These were the thoughts of Lorenzo Alcazar in his deep sleep. He dreamt of a whole new life, a life he would be happy with. She was turned around, away from him in his vision. A beautiful white summer dress, with white sandals were on her feet. Her hair, freely flowing behind her. He knew it had to be her. His hand reached for her arm, for her to face him slowly.
Bang Bang!
Lorenzo jumped up startled out of his sleep. He immediately looked over at Courtney, who was still sound asleep. Careful not to wake her, he got up slowly.
"Who the hell is that!" Lorenzo mumbled. "Excuse me?"
Lorenzo opened the door, and was surprised to see Jason on the other side. Of all moments, he had to choose this one to just barge in.
"I didn't invite you in, Morgan" Lorenzo turned around, as Jason let himself in.
"What the hell is this? What are you doing with Courtney?" Jason stopped, when he saw Courtney sleeping.
"There's no need to wake her. Besides it's none of your business. In fact, why do you care anyway?" Lorenzo folded his arms.
"Shut up, I had enough of you putting Courtney's life in danger. I heard about the fire. Was that your sick attempt to get her to trust you even more, Alcazar? Huh?" Jason raised his voice, than lowered it.
"You have no right to accuse me of such a crime. You're the one that just let yourself in here uninvited. Courtney does as she pleases, I thought you would respect that by now" Lorenzo added.
Jason looked back at Courtney. She looked so peaceful, and content. It made Jason extremely uncomfortable at this point.
"She doesn't belong here"
"And neither do you, now get out before I throw you out" Lorenzo warned, opening his door wider.
Jason wanted to bash his face in the wall, but then what would Courtney think of him? Angry as hell, he stormed out of Lorenzo's place. Lorenzo, shut the door quietly and locked it. Courtney was still fast asleep. She must have been exhausted, or she would have waken up at the sound of Jason's voice. He was glad she didn't. He pinched the bridge of his nose, and sat back down next to her. His watch read, 'Ten Fifteen P.M.' It was a bit chilly in the apartment, so he reached over for the wool blanket behind their heads. As he covered her, he noticed something around her neck. Careful not to wake her up, he got a closer look. It was a locket. Curious as to what was inside, Lorenzo opened it.
It was a picture of Courtney, it looked like a few years back. Slowly taking his eyes off of her picture, he shifted his eyes to the right of the locket.
"Morgan" Lorenzo disappointedly said. 'Courtney still kept a picture of him, and around her neck' he thought to himself. He was afraid of what that might mean, surely Courtney was over Morgan, or was she? Was she just pretending to move on all this time? Could Jason hold the other half of her heart still? It killed him inside, he wanted to rip the picture out, but refrained himself from doing so.
Courtney's began to stir in her sleep as he was closing it. He didn't want her to see him with her locket, so he quickly shut his eyes so that it would appear as he was sleeping and Jason never interrupted them.
She looked over to her left, and found him sleeping. He looked troubled, his eyebrows moving around, like he was dreaming. 'I guess I fell asleep' she thought. Something quite wasn't right. If she recalled, she heard voices while she was sleeping, but thought she was only dreaming. "Lorenzo?" she whispered.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Lorenzo's eyes opened quickly.
"How long were we asleep?" Courtney asked, waiting for his answer.
"For a while now. Are you okay?" He asked checking his watch.
"I'm fine, just didn't plan on falling asleep. Sorry about that" Courtney said sitting up.
"No need to apologize, you were tired" Lorenzo smiled fixing his shirt of wrinkles.
"Um, this may sound stupid but, did someone come here while we were sleeping?" Courtney asked, looking at the door.
"No, no one" Lorenzo lied, obviously not wanting to tell her about Jason's interruption.
"Oh, okay. Just making sure" Courtney eyed him closely.
"Well, you can sleep here on the couch, or in your room. Which ever you prefer" Lorenzo stood up.
"Okay, thanks" Courtney answered, a moment of silence over took them.
"Sleep well, Courtney" Lorenzo finally said, leaving the room.
Courtney got up as well. "You too"
Even though Courtney wanted to believe him, she had a funny feeling that he wasn't telling the truth. She was too tired to think about it that night, she went straight to the guestroom and fell asleep almost immediately.
The next morning was cloudy, but nonetheless beautiful outside. Partly clouded and a chance of scattered showers, possibly a thunderstorm. But that wouldn't stop the citizens of Port Charles from going on with their crazy lives. No, it wouldn't at all. In fact, the day would go by quickly with all the drama that happens around in this city day in and day out.
Courtney was awakened by the wonderful smells of breakfast. She quickly got dressed and prepared herself for the new and exciting day. She couldn't remember the last time she felt this much excitement. She wasn't about to waste a minute of it.
"Courtney? Are you awake?" Lorenzo asked, a smirk on his face. He was already dressed for the day.
"Yes, I'm awake! I'll be out in a minute!" Courtney called out from the bathroom.
"I'll be waiting in the kitchen, take your time" Lorenzo smiled.
Three minutes later Courtney opened her bedroom door and walked out. The smell of the breakfast was stronger, and she was dying to try whatever Lorenzo had cooked.
"Good morning" Lorenzo smiled and approached her.
"Good morning! This looks absolutely delicious! You did all of this?" Courtney asked, impressed.
"I did, especially for you" Lorenzo admitted, showing her to the dining room table.
"Aw, you didn't have to do that. But thank you, it was sweet" Courtney blushed.
"Oh, you don't have to thank me. It was a privilege to make it for you" Lorenzo smiled politely and returned to the counter to serve the food.
"Pancakes, Muffins, Eggs, Bacon, freshly squeezed orange juice, and fresh fruit" Lorenzo finished, as he placed everything down.
"Wow, I'm even more impressed. This looks great" Courtney's eye's lit up.
"It is, have a bite" Lorenzo held out the fork with 2 layers of pancake with syrup on it.
"Oh yum!" Courtney chewed.
"Delicious I assume from your expressions" Lorenzo smiled and seated himself.
"Very, you are a great cook, Lorenzo" Courtney smiled, and took a sip of her Orange Juice.
"Good morning, Sage" Lorenzo smiled.
"Morning! Oh, don't mind me, I'm grabbing something and I'm out of here. I have practice at the studio! It's going to be big, this guy from out of town, Simon Niles, is going to be there judging me, Brooklyn, and stuff for our girl group singing. I can't wait!" Sage blurted before anyone had anything to say.
"That's great, I'm happy for you!" Lorenzo got up to hug his niece.
"That's awesome, Sage! I'm happy for you too" Courtney smiled.
"Thanks you guys! Okay, I have to go. Bye! Be back later! hehe!" Sage ran out.
"Wow, she's really excited" Courtney grinned.
"Yeah, It's great to see her so happy" Lorenzo smiled. "A toast to happiness"
"Cheers" Courtney replied.
After five wonderful minutes of breakfast and talking about the different places of the world, they were finished. Courtney helped with cleaning up everything, but Lorenzo insisted that she wait in the living room and get ready for a surprise he had for her. She finally listened and waited for a while. Lorenzo came out with a huge smile on his face. She always wondered what he had behind that smile. She loved trying to figure him out and the things he did.
"So, what is it? What's the surprise?" Courtney asked getting up from the couch.
"You will have to wait and see" Lorenzo smiled, mysteriously.
"Okay, I'll cooperate. Where are we going?" Courtney asked noticing Lorenzo getting his coat.
"For a walk, get your jacket" Lorenzo winked.
Courtney hurriedly retrieved her jacket and found Lorenzo already standing by the front door with it opened, waiting for her.
"Okay, I'm ready. Let's go" Courtney smiled, and walked ahead.
"As you wish" Lorenzo followed behind.
Not to far from Lorenzo's place, the two spies from yesterday were back at their post, waiting for the two of them to walk out at any time.
"Sir, we got them. Looks like their taking a walk"
"Okay, thanks for the update" Jason hung up. He was determined to get Courtney away from that dangerous bastard. Sonny's orders or not.
