Emily ran her hands through her hair it was in loose curls. She had changed into Elizabeth's black blue silk camisole but had to put on a cashmere shawl. Otherwise she would be shivering the whole night. Emily walked out and saw Elizabeth wearing a simple black dress and had her hair half pulled back.
"You look great," she said smiling.
Emily rolled her eyes. "Elizabeth, don't lie. You look amazing."
"I don't lie and thank you. Sam said she'd meet us there."
The two waited at the bar for Sam who walked in a black leather jacket and red sateen pants. All eyes turned to the threesome.
"Sorry. I'm late," she said shrugging off her coat. "But Jason took forever in the shower." Sam had on a black silk halter top.
"Well lets get a table," said Emily.
They all sat around laughing. They had ordered and now they were waiting for the bar tender to come over with their drinks. When Sam's drink came the two almost broke a side laughing. She had gotten what appeared to be some sort of pink cosmopolitan.
"What?" asked Sam looking at the two.
"It's just- I never thought you'd get a pink drink," said Emily. "I'm sorry."
"Hey, I'm a girl too!" she exclaimed.
"I know it's just-," Emily and Elizabeth looked at each other and continued to laugh.
Sam shook her head and took a sip of her drink. "Hey, give these two Sex on the Beach," she said to the waiter.
He smiled. "With pleasure."
Sonny and Justice were having a late business meeting at Primo a new restaurant. But three women sitting only two tables away from Sonny caught his attention and any business Justice had to discuss seemed completely irrelevant. He heard the waiters comment and his blood began to boil. His hand gripped the water glass.
"Did you hear that?" he asked Justice.
Justice looked at him confused. "What are you talking about?"
"That waiter just," Sonny shook his head. "Doesn't matter. Continue."
Justice went on talking about the legalities of a business deal. Sonny half listened as he watched the girls flirt carelessly with the waiter. They received their dinner and then things settled down so he turned his attention back to Justice. Then during their dessert a man walked over and his eyes went aflame as he sat down next to Emily. Sonny stood up casually.
"I'll be right back," he said.
Emily pushed closer to Elizabeth as a guy sat next down to her. He was extremely charismatic and she felt herself flirting back even though she didn't want to. The waiter came over with another gin and tonic.
"This is for you," said the man.
"Thanks," said Emily smiling meekly.
"Want to dance?"
"I don't think so. I don't think there is dancing anyway."
He grabbed her arm pulling her up. "You want to go you know you do," he said pulling her closer to him.
"Hey," said Sam standing up, but Sonny was all ready there.
"I think she said no."
The guy smirked. "Get lost this isn't your problem. You don't know what she wants," he said stroking Emily's hair.
"Really I don't feel like-," she started as he put his hand almost on her butt.
Sonny had enough. He grabbed the guy and slammed his fist into his face sending the guy spinning. The guy sat on the ground stunned.
"Get out of here, before I do something worse to you." Emily touched her arm where the guy had held her. Sonny looked at her concerned. "Are you OK?"
Emily pursed her lips. "I don't need your pity!" she exclaimed running off.
"Pity?" asked Sonny confused.
"Well go after her," said Sam pushing him towards the way Emily had gone. She tossed her hair out of her face. She put down some money.
"No, no I want to pay my own," said Elizabeth.
Sam shook her head. "Don't worry about it. You can pay next time. Let's go. I think we're both a little too drunk to drive."
Elizabeth smiled. "Wait one minute," she said finishing her drink. "Eh, it feels so good to be drunk."
"Yea well make sure you hydrate on the way home," she said as they wrapped their arms around each others waist.
"You know. I like you," said Elizabeth smiling.
"Yea I like you too," said Sam helping Elizabeth into the limo. "But I don't think you'll like anyone in the morning."
Elizabeth laughed as she headed towards the back of the limo. Sam tossed her a water bottle but Elizabeth dropped.
"Lucky's going to love me," said Sam shaking her head.
Sonny found Emily at his house in her room packing her stuff.
"What are you doing?"
Emily tossed her hair out of her face. "I'm packing. I'm making things easy for you. This way you don't have to worry about breaking my heart."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know you and Carly are getting back together. I saw you two at the court house and Michael wasn't sure if I was going to be here when he got back. You two are probably all ready married again for God sakes," she said furiously zipping her suit case closed. She pulled it off the bed, but collapsed on the floor. "Why did I even try to make you-. I was so stupid, stupid, stupid," she said crying.
Sonny was stunned. "Emily."
"Don't. Forget I said anything ever. I'll be gone in the morning." She ran her hand through her hair. "Leave, please," she said calmly.
"No," said Sonny firmly. He knelt next to her. "I'm not going anywhere."
She looked at him confused. "Sonny, really it's OK. I knew from the beginning that you'd always love Carly."
Sonny picked her up and placed her on the bed. "Listen, I will always love Carly," he said stroking her hair. "But, I cannot and will not be with her. I want to be with you Emily as far as I'm concerned I want to be with you as long as you'll have me."
Emily looked up at him her eyes swollen and puffy. "Do you love me like you love her?"
"I never love anyone especially women the same way," he said kissing her forehead. "But I do love you and I need you." He kissed her passionately on the lips.
She touched her lips. "Hit me," she whispered.
"What?" asked Sonny confused.
"You don't know how long I've waited to hear you say that. I've dreamt it so many times. This has to be a dream." She stood up.
Sonny grabbed her waist and spun her around. "I'll prove to you it's not a dream." He kissed her more aggressively then she had ever been kissed before, but with such tenderness that she just melted in his grasp. He laid her down gently on the bed.
"I might need more proof," she said coyly.
He smirked. "Whatever you want."
