August 14th 2001…

"Not gonna talk?" Taggert asked after he walked into the interrogation room, Lily looking up after Taggert sat down across from her.

"This is false imprisonment. I didn't kill Sorel." Lily replied, Taggert uncuffing her.

"A nurse saw you go into his hospital room, you changed out of your volunteer outfit and into the light blue nurse's scrubs that conveniently went missing beforehand. Lily… I get how you feel after what happened to Emily, if someone injured Gia-" Taggert responded.

"Don't pull that sympathetic act on me, Marcus! I grabbed what I could to change into because an injured patient's blood got onto me and Tony had to get me out of the room! The poor guy bled out and they couldn't save him so I went to clean up and change!" Lily replied before she stopped to breathe. "Sorel should still be behind bars, why was he walking around allowed to cause havoc?! I didn't kill him! I'm not sorry he's dead though, he got what was coming to him!" She responded before the door opened quickly and they saw Johnny… and he ran in and Lily stood up before they hugged tightly.

"You get off on trying to badger an innocent girl for what happened to Sorel because you failed to keep him behind bars?! She called me and I drove there and picked her up!" Johnny responded, glaring at Taggert right as Alexis walked in and slammed the door behind her.

Taggert jumped and turned to Alexis, who was livid with him.

"I can't even begin to describe how disgusted I am with you, Taggert! You're done trying to intimidate a teenager who's done nothing wrong and I'm willing to bet that the only reason you had Lily brought into the police department is because you couldn't bring charges against Sonny!" Alexis replied before she guided Lily and Johnny out of the PCPD.

Never Tear Us Apart by INXS played once Lily and Johnny were alone, Lily resting her head on Johnny's right shoulder as his right arm was around her shoulders… and they held each other.

They looked at each other much like they had the night before… and Johnny leaned in, his mouth connecting to Lily's in a gentle kiss that Lily reciprocated.

Her hands rested on his shoulders as his hands rested on her face… and they looked at each other after the kiss.

"I don't know what exactly we're feeling for each other now… all I know is I want more kisses with you, more moments to ourselves and no one else to know just yet." Johnny responded quietly.

"No one else needs to know just yet." Lily replied before they kissed again…

Present time…

"Brenda?"

Brenda looked up and saw Lily and Johnny walk in before she stood up and she and Lily hugged tightly.

"Oh, Lily, you've grown so much… I've missed you." Brenda responded quietly before they let go, Brenda looking at Johnny and then to Lily. "First boyfriend?" She asked.

"Yeah. Johnny O'Brien, this is Brenda Barrett." Lily responded before Brenda and Johnny shook hands for a few seconds.

"Be good to her, okay?" Brenda asked.

"Always am, Miss Barrett." Johnny responded.

"Any idea on what happened to who got shot?" Brenda asked.

"Yeah, it was Taggert. They rushed him to the OR." Lily responded before she saw Sonny talking to Roy and Jason.

And they knew that Sonny was angered after what happened.

'Well sorry that I don't like that you were willing to fake your death, Sonny! You didn't go to those extremes when you were trying to lure Sorel into a trap and he was much worse than Luis is!' Lily thought as Johnny lightly held her right hand in his left one.

"Someone caught onto our plan, whoever it was didn't try to warn Alcazar though because Felicia got her kids and left." Roy explained.

"And with them out of harm's way, that's why you felt it was best to shoot Alcazar's men. He put the pieces together, one of his thugs most likely tailed one of us or they tailed Brenda." Sonny responded.

"Did she explain why they're after her?" Jason asked.

"Not yet. But I have a feeling something's not right." Sonny explained.

Brenda guided Lily and Johnny away from the room, hoping to keep them from getting in trouble as she sensed that no one knew about the two being together.

At the penthouse, Lily and Johnny kissed after walking into it and Johnny closed and locked the door… and snuck upstairs into the room that Lily had been staying in since she, Zander and Elizabeth had nearly gotten killed.

The storm raged on outside as Lily and Johnny undressed each other, Johnny carefully moving Lily close to him once they were naked and lightly kissing her neck… and the two looking at each other after Johnny had put on a condom.

"I'll be gentle. I promise." Johnny whispered before Lily stretched out on the bed, Johnny carefully positioning himself on top of her.

Lily cringed a bit once she felt her hymen break, Johnny knowing that their first time was going to hurt her more physically than it would with him and they took it slowly until they were comfortable with each other.

They tried their best to be quiet as they weren't sure if Elizabeth and Zander hadn't come back yet and they knew that Carly was just across the hallway… but Lily and Johnny were completely lost in each other.

By the time they crashed from the high they were on, there was barely anything of their voices left after the screams… and they held each other close, hoping that the storm had drowned them out to anyone nearby.

Lily's left arm was around Johnny's waist, half of her face obscured by her still damp shoulder length honey brown hair and Johnny lightly brushed it away from her face before they kissed… and both jumped as lightning struck nearby, which caused the power to go out.

"Mother Nature isn't happy." Lily replied, her and Johnny laughing softly before they kissed.

"She's not… but we are. No one walked in on us." Johnny whispered.

Across the hallway in the first penthouse, Carly held a flashlight as she found the fuse box and hoped that switching them off and then back on after a few minutes would help bring the power back on… but it didn't and so she looked for candles and a matchbook.

She lit two of them and blew the flame on the tiny match out… and saw Roy walk in.

"Plan didn't work, Sonny ran into someone before we got ambushed and Taggert ended up getting shot." Roy explained, Carly completely taken aback by that even though she hated Taggert.

"Is he alive?!" Carly asked.

"Last I heard, he is. I'm wondering if you saw Lily leave here earlier, I'm worried that she thought I was actually double crossing Sonny." Roy explained.

"If I had to guess, she went to meet up with her boyfriend." Carly responded, Roy startled at that.

"Are you sure that Lily has a boyfriend? She would've told someone by now." Roy replied.

"Teenagers keep secrets. I just hope whoever this boy is that he's good to her. She's a sweet kid." Carly responded.

Roy hoped so too and wondered how long Lily kept this secret.
