"Do you love her?" Sam asked prying a little bit.
"What?" Sonny asked.
"You heard me loud and clear" Sam said smiling. "I think you do. The way you look at her, the way your eyes soften and the way you want to protect her. That has me and Jason written all over it. You love her!" Sam said knowing she was right.
Sonny just exhaled. He had managed to pour himself and drink and was ready to drink when he realized that Sam had a point. "I do not" Sonny said lying.
"Hey man, I don't know how you woo your women, didn't work with me, remember?" Sam and Sonny both laughed at that remark. "But denying her won't help you, Sonny" Sam said knowing the truth besides the denials.
"Nothing can happen and Emily and I are friends" Sonny said pointing at Sam.
"Well Jason already knows that Emily loves you, so he won't hear that you love her back from me. Just for your information though, I told Jason that I think both of you are great for each other." Sam said smiling and giddy like a little girl. Sonny just laughed at her and before he could think of his realization of the night the window guys got there and the cleaning crew began to clean up along with Max.
-----------------------
At the same time Jason was following Emily all the way to the gardens. "You know it would be nice if you could wait for your brother who is recovering from brain surgery" Jason yelled at Emily who was only a few steps ahead of him. She stopped dead in her tracks and turned to Jason her face streaked with tears and her eyes sadder than Jason had ever seen before. "Hey what's wrong?" He said hugging her and kissing the top of her head.
"I don't know Jase. When I heard Sonny say that he was going to kill Manny it's like the most dreadful feeling came over me. Not because he was going to kill though, just the thought of him getting hurt it was like someone punching me in the stomach and not being able to breathe." Emily said wiping her tears.
Jason laughed a little bit and said "That's exactly how Sam feels when I leave the house to Sonny's everyday. It's my way of life, its Sonny's way of life and I told you that it was going to be hard. You do love him don't you?" Jason asked.
Emily laughed and asked Jason "Geez, Jase how many times do you need me to repeat it?" Emily said smiling amidst all the tears.
"No, it's just that I don't like it and it's hard for me. You need to get over him. I will not have Sonny yelling at you like he did just now and being your boyfriend. I can't handle that. I'm not telling you how to live your life but I am telling you that you can't see him as you are right now. You can't think of him as anything more than a friend or a big brother." Jason said clearly getting upset.
"Deal. You know you really have nothing to worry about Sonny still loves Carly and I saw that with my own eyes." Emily said smiling. She started to walk in from of him and Jason remained sitting down. He knew his best friend better, and he knew that Sonny was falling for Emily. He had yelled at her in a way that he only does to the people that he loves and are close to his heart. He had to talk to Sonny not Emily. With that he stood up and both started heading back to the house. Emily and Jason could both see that the window guys were there and cleaning crew was cleaning the mess.
"Hey you guys" Sam said greeting Jason and Emily as they came in. Sam headed over to where Jason was and hugged him. She winked at Emily and gave her the biggest smile and Emily wondered what that was about.
"Emily go with Sam and get all the stuff you need from the Quartermaine's, Max' didn't get a chance to do it before. Max will go with you; Sonny and I will stay to make sure the windows get done right. We'll wait for you guys right here." Jason said giving them an order.
Sam caught that and said "Excuse me, are you dishing orders at your fiancé?"
"Please" Jason smiled.
"Much better" Sam smiled walking out with Emily.
Sonny knew Jason like the back of his hand. He knew what was coming and he was ready for it. "Don't you ever, EVER, Sonny talk to my sister the way that you just did again, do you hear me?" Jason asked.
"I know I was out of line Jason. I apologize and I intent on apologizing to Emily as well" Sonny said finishing the drink that he had already poured when he had his own conversation with Sam.
"I'm letting Emily move in here, because I know she'll be safe here." Jason began to say. "I want you to stay away Sonny. I want you to tell her that you are not in love with her, and I really don't want to know if you are. If you lie to me I'll know, and if you don't I have a feeling I'm not going to like your answer, so we'll leave it at that." Jason finished walking away from Sonny, but not leaving the room. "You are my best friend Sonny, and I respect and love you, but I love my sister and nothing is going to hurt her again. Not Nikolas, not Manny, or any other sick asshole out there looking to get to me through her." Jason said angry at all the men that have hurt his sister. "And I will not let you hurt her either" Jason said finished with his argument.
Sonny just stood there silent and wide eyed. "I know that I am not the best man in the world and that I do not deserve a woman as great as your sister. I don't even plan on pretending that I do, Jason." Sonny began walking away from Jason and giving him his back. "I do not love her and I plan on telling her just that" Sonny said leaving the room, fearing that Jason would know he lied and that Jason would see right through him.
------------------------
"You okay Em?" Sam asked getting into Sonny's limo.
"Jason officially forbade me from going near Sonny" Emily said. "I understand and I will respect his wishes." Emily said disappointed. "At least he doesn't love me" Emily smiled and laughed a little, "that should make it easier."
'Ughhh' thought Sam to herself. She was definitely going to have to talk to Jason. Sam decided not to tell Emily about her conversation with Sonny. It would only make things harder on her. But she knew, they both loved each other!
