Sam stared at Jason, hardly believing the words that came out his mouth just moments before.

"Jason, when I was pregnant and when I – we – lost Lila, you were the most amazing person I had ever met. Jase, you still are. I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. You're loyal, and caring. But you can also be insensitive and take me for granted. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, but I can't spend it in the background of your life with Carly."

"Sam, it won't be..."

"No, Jason, let me finish. You have hurt me, a lot, recently, but I would be crazy, to give up my chance for a love that comes once in a life time. If you can prove to me that I won't be second best to Carly or the business, then, of course, I'll stay with you, forever." Sam finished with a small smile. Jason did the only thing he could think of – he pulled her into his arms and slowly kissed her, gently at first, but building up speed and passion as he continued. Their tears cried and their love expressed, they spent the night together without interruptions from Carly or Sonny.

Back to After Ric and Reese left Jason's apartment

Ric pulled the door of his car open for Reese, his nervousness showing as he had no idea what to do now. He questioned to himself whether Reese's comment had meant they were together, or mean something less significant. Maybe she was just being nice?

"Ric-" "Reese-" they started at the same time.

"You first." Ric handed the reins over to Reese, deciding to wait and see what her position was, as she already knew his.

"Look, Ric. Our night together, well, it was amazing. But I'm with Sonny, and..."

"I understand Reese. Why settle for less, right?" Ric muttered, his voice laced with light sarcasm.

"No, Ric, that's not it at all. What I was going to say was that, I'm with Sonny now, and I don't want to be with you until I can end things with Sonny. Our first night together, we were almost, kind of cheating. I want our next time together to be without the shadow of Sonny hanging over us. You understand?"

"Yeah, of course I do. But, there is one problem with that logic."

"What?"

"I happen to want to rip your clothes off right now, and make love to you for the rest of the night. So, that's our dilemma."

Smiling, Reese replied, "Well, it's not too late, I'm sure Sonny wouldn't mind to hear the news and get me off his back."

"Any man would be a fool to just let you go. Hopefully, my brother will repeat history, and be a fool again tonight."

Sonny's House

Ric and Reese slowly climbed the stairs to the house Sonny had bought for Michael. While, Reese was normally welcome here, she was apprehensive to just open the door and go in. Sonny had always been a mystery to her; maybe that was what had attracted her to him in the first place. She never knew how he was feeling or what he really meant by what he said. It was different with Ric. Yeah, the mystery was there, but so was the ability to read his emotions. She knew him like a favorite book, and she only just started getting close to him. Gathering up her courage, Reese decided to get this over with so she could go back to Ric's place for some "events" that would be much preferred to breaking up with Sonny. Though, in all honesty, being with Ric was better than just about anything else she had experienced, besides her time with her little boy, however brief it might have been.

After the second knock, Max answered the door, ushering both Ric and Reese into the entrance hall. As Max went to go fetch Sonny, both Ric and Reese were mulling over what was to be said to Sonny that would make this as quick and painless as possible. "Ric, Reese, what are you doing here this late? Together?" Sonny asked suspiciously as he entered the room.

"Well, look, Sonny, we have something we need to tell you," Reese began hesitantly.

"Look Sonny, Reese and I, well, we slept together. It was before you guys were together, so you can't go into a, well, a "you betrayed me" rant okay."

"So, you decided to come clean to me, is that it. How long were you going to keep this from me, huh? You slept with my brother! What did I do to piss you off so much? How pathetic are you, you would actually sleep with my own brother as revenge against me!"

"Sonny, it wasn't like that."

"You know how i feel about betrayal. What, and now you're going to grovel for my forgiveness, for me to take you back!"

"Actually, no. Sonny, we came here to tell you that, Ric and I decided we wanted to see where we – we want to be together. So, I came here to break up with you. I'm sorry Sonny. I care about Michael very much, and in my own way, I care about you too. But it's a different way than I feel about Ric. I'm sorry. I wish you the best of luck, I really do." With that, Reese turned to walk out the door. However, as she was nearing her exit, she felt a strong pair of hands grip her arms, preventing her from leaving. Sonny sharply turned Reese so she was facing him.

"No one, walks away from Sonny Corinthos. Do you understand me?" As he raised his hand to hit her, Ric grabbed Sonny's hand. Rage consumed Ric, as it sunk it what his brother was about to do.

"Don't you ever raise your hand to Reese again. For that matter, don't you raise your hand to another woman. Do you understand me? I might not be the DA anymore, but I still hold a lot of power, and if I hear that you hit another woman or even tried to, especially Reese, I will hunt you down like no other prosecutor, man, or criminal has before. And unlike them, I won't lose." Ric shook with fury, his voice deadly quiet.

"Fine, just leave!" Sonny huffed in an attempt to regain his control.

"Gladly." Ric spit as he and Reese stormed from the building.

Next on When Will It be Me? (btw, the following might not all happen in the next chapter, it might take a couple of chapters to get it all out – I just don't want to forget my ideas : )

Ric/Reese and Jason and Sam, all go out to dinner together – is this a start of new friendships?

Jason is unwilling to let go of some old friends – but how does he feel when they threaten the life of the woman he loves?

Will Jason connect with a previously ignored family member? (A/N maybe ignored isn't the best word – what I mean is that they don't spend time together)
