The Morning After

Part IV

Previously On The Morning After~

Carly was almost about to enter the back part of the club but something told her to turn around…she looks back over to where she left the guy she was dancing with. Carly couldn't believe her eyes when she sees Johnny grab a hold of the guy and started to walk him over to one of the secluded booths and made him sit down.

Not quite able to see who else was in the booth, Carly went closer so she could get a better look. She was taken back when she saw it was Sonny…Carly had no doubt what he was saying to the guy.

"That's probably why Sean suddenly didn't feel so good and had to leave" Carly says to herself "Well you know what, Sonny Corinthos…it's time you learned your lesson Carlybabes style."

Kai and Jason were dancing to a slow song on the dance floor…Kai had her head laying on Jason's shoulder and Jason had his lightly leaning down on her hair…his arms wrapped around her waist, one hand rubbing her back while the other placed just above her rear. Jason knew not to have his face buried in her hair in public, Kai would rip him a new one if he messed up her hair…he looks up and sees Carly.

"Uh oh"

Kai looks at Jason "What's wrong?"

"Nothing but trouble that's for sure."

Kai turns around and looks in the direction Jason was and she sees Carly watching Sonny and the guy she was dancing with from a distance.

"You got that right…" Kai says with a little smirk "I know that look. My girl is not about to let this slide…that fool better make like Forrest and run." Kai laughs "Run Forrest, Run." She fake runs in place in imitation, and then bursts out laughing…

"We gotta do something." Jason says

He starts to walk over towards Carly but Kai stops him putting her hand on his shoulder turning him around.

"We're not gonna do nothing…nada…zip…zero!" Kai says as she pokes her finger to Jason's chest…she looks back over to Carly with a sly smile "Your boy got himself in this mess now he's gotta suffer the consequences. And from the looks of my girl Carlybabes over there it's gonna be a helluva show."

"What's a Carlybabes?" Jason asks in confusion

Kai chuckles "Baby you're about to find out."

Carly watches as Eric, the guy she was dancing with stumbles out of the booth…she could tell Sonny had rattled him, hell scared him to death. Eric held on to the side of the table to get back on his feet…Sonny kept a deadly serious look in his eyes as he stared Eric down. Once Eric was on his wobbly feet, he made a quick dash to get the hell out of there, cutting quickly through the crowd of the dance floor and out the door.

Carly was about to go over and give Sonny a piece of her mind, but she stopped herself…she wanted to teach him a lesson…he needed to be taught one she tells herself and Carybabes is just the one teach him. Carly stays hidden from Sonny and Johnny's eyesight making sure they didn't see her.

While thinking of the perfect way to get Sonny back, Carly spots a guy she knew that was sitting at the bar…his name was Tully she had met him at Whyndoms one day when she was picking out some lipstick. Tully saw her and he commented on how beautiful her skin was and then picked her out a fabulous shade of lipstick. Tully was the headliner at a popular club in the city, his show simply called "It's Raining Men". He knew his makeup and wore it well when he was on stage and when he saw Carly trying to find a good lipstick he had to come over and help the poor girl out.

Carly quickly makes her way over to the bartender…she quietly pulls him aside and gives him a message for Tully. Carly watches as the bartender delivers the message and when Tully turns around and saw her, she gave him a little wave so that he could see and remember her. Tully smiles and gets up from the bar…Carly began walking to the back hallway that lead to her and Kai's office with Tully following not far behind.

"Carly darling is that you?" Tully said surprised to see her again

Carly smiles as she turns around facing him "Tully, it's good to see you again. Never thought I'd see you here but I'm glad I ran in to you."

"Well darling you just look so fabulous you are definitely wearing that dress girlfriend" Tully says enthusiastically as he raises a hand and they slap a high-5, Carly smiles as a little laugh escapes… "And of course I love that shade of lipstick." he winks

"Well you should you were the one who picked it out."

"So to what do I owe the honor of that handsome bartender telling me you needed to see me?"

"Well I saw you sitting at the bar by yourself…"

"Oh don't remind me…I was supposed to meet someone here but atlas he didn't show."

"Sorry to hear that, but you know what I think it works out better that way…cause see I wanted to talk to you because I think I have the perfect fella for you to get to know better." Carly says with a smile

"You want to fix me up on a blind date."

"Yeah, more or less…"

"Is he cute?" Tully asks

"Honey he's gorgeous" Carly grins

Tully smiles brightly "Okay so when do I get to meet this gorgeous fella."

"Right now if you'd like…but there's just one thing though."

"What's that?"

"He hasn't, shall we say…come out of the closet just yet." Carly informs him

"Say no more love…I gotcha. Maybe I can help him with that." Tully says with a wink "Okay so quick, introduce me to this hunk…I need some fun tonight since it looks like I've been stood up. So what's his name?"

Carly walks Tully back in to the club but she stays carefully hidden behind some ugly statue as she mentally noted to herself to get rid of the hideous thing.

"His name is Sonny and he's right over there." Carly says as she points Sonny out for him…

Tully gets a look at Sonny "Mmm, you weren't lying when you said he was gorgeous honey. Are you sure he's gay?"

"Well like I said he hasn't come out the closet yet…" Carly successfully avoids the question, and then adds… "And when you meet him, if he seems a little edgy or keeps trying to deny his shall we say preference for men…don't let that discourage you in any way. He's shy..." she says in a sympathetic tone

Tully nods in understanding "So what are we waiting for come introduce me to this Sonny."

"Well you know what, I think it's best that you go over alone and introduce yourself…he'll be upset at me for trying to fix him up. So I was thinking maybe you could…."

"Say no more sweetie…I wouldn't want your friendship with Sonny jeopardized don't you worry I won't even mention your name."

Carly smiles brightly as she watches Tully walk into the crowd over to Sonny…he wasn't sitting in the booth anymore he'd gotten up trying to look around for Carly. Carly took this opportunity to quickly sneak her way over to Jason, Kai and Johnny…she wanted to make sure Jason and Johnny kept their big noses out of her plans for Sonny.

"Here she comes, here she comes…" Kai says as she elbows Johnny "And she's looking right at you to Johnny" Kai smirks and then teases "Ooooh you're in troubllllle."

Seeing the look in Carly's eyes as she made her way over to them gave Johnny a slight chill down his spine and his eyes go wide. Yeah he was a big bad tough bodyguard for the mob but the look Carly was wearing he knew all too well back when he was living in Detroit growing up with Carly and Kai…he knew what she was capable of and quite frankly it scared him a little.

"Okay hide me." Johnny said as he stood behind Kai and Jason…

Jason turns to look at Johnny "Johnny! Come on man she's one tiny little woman. I can't believe you are hiding from her."

"Believe it. Ever heard of the story David and Goliath…well David, that would be the Pissed Off Blond heading this way is getting ready to grind Goliath, which would be me, in to Mincemeat!

"Hey guys what's up?" Carly says with a sneaky smile trained directly on Johnny and with a hand on her hip leaning to the side.

"Now Carly I was just following orders, you can't blame me I'm just an innocent bystander just like before." Carly kept staring at him and Johnny keeps rambling on "Hey this is supposed to be my night off anyway."

Carly interrupts "Save it Johnny…I'm not gonna do anything to you, I know you were just following orders. Well right now you're gonna follow a few of mine." she smiles then looks over at Jason "And so are you…can't have you running trying help Sonny now can I."

Kai smiles as a slight laugh slips out "That's my girl…" she looks at Jason "Babe I'd like you to meet my home girl, Carlybabes."

Johnny slowly shakes his head no…"Ah Damn, not another Carlybabes plaaaaan. I've had my fill of those from our days back in Detroit. Just don't get me stuck in the middle anymore…in fact just call me Bennett, cause I'm sure as hell ain't In IT! No way do I want any part of this. I'm out. Cya!" he says the last part with a little salute

Johnny quickly makes his exit, leaving Kai laughing her ass off as she called out to him…

"CHICKEN!" Kai laughs

"Hey at least I'm a live one." Johnny calls out over his shoulder "BockBockBockBock" he says while flapping his arms and getting the hell out of dodge.

Jason just shakes his head as he watches Johnny leave…he looks back to Carly and Kai "What the hell did you two do to the poor guy back in Detroit?"

"You know what never mind that…Kai can fill you in on that later. But for now I don't want you trying to intervene in anyway. My plans for your boss have already begun."

With a wicked gleam in her eyes, Carly turns around to where Sonny and Tully were…Kai and Jason look over as well and see Sonny with trying to fight off Tully's advances.

"Girl what did you do?" Kai laughs

"Oh nothing…I just told my good pal Tully that Sonny's gay but hadn't come out of the closet just yet. Tully was stood up tonight by his date so I thought he deserved a new one." Carly informs them

Kai burst out laughing "Girl no you didn't…"

"You did what?!" Jason practically yelled in his shock "I gotta get over there and stop this right now."

Carly grabs on to Jason's ear yanking him back as she kept a tight hold on to it "You are not going to do Jack Squat! The only thing you're gonna do is sit back and watch the show otherwise you can get a taste of Carlybabes wrath to."

"Shit Carly that hurts, let go."

Carly tugs on his ear again "Not until you agree to not do a damn thing trying to help Sonny."

"I'd agree with her babe that is unless you want to keep that ear from turning blue." Kai smirks

"Okay, okay, okay you win. Now let go." Carly let go of his ear and Jason stood up rubbing his now red ear trying to get the blood to flow again "Remind me not to get on Carlybabes bad side again."

Carly, Kai and Jason who was still rubbing on his ear look back over to Sonny…

"Hey, hey I don't know where you got your information pal but I'm not gay! And if you know what's best for you, you'll back the hell off and keep your damn hands to yourself."

Sonny was fuming mad, this Tully character kept trying to rub and massage all on his shoulder and get him to dance with him.

"I know what you're going through…" Tully says soothingly as he tried once more to pat Sonny's shoulder for support but Sonny pushed his hand off. Tully ignored Sonny's resistance thinking he was just not ready to come out in public yet. "It's hard to admit to the whole world you inner desires…so if you'd like we can go someplace quiet and talk. It's always good to have someone you can talk to about these things…believe me I know honey."

"How many times do I have to tell you? Here me when I say this and let it be the last time because I don't like repeating myself! I-AM-NOT-GAY."

"Aww, you're still so nervous about the whole thing aren't you, you poor dear? It's only natural" Tully says as he pats Sonny's cheek "Hey I know what, why don't we blow this Popsicle stand…" he leans in close, making Sonny back up… "We can go back to my place, have a little wine, we can talk…no pressure. And since you don't want to dance here, I can put on some music and I can find out if you have two, BIG, left feet or not." he stresses the word big, raises an eyebrow and smile with a little laugh, as he reaches out to pinch Sonny's cheek, but once again Sonny pushes it back…

"Stop looking at my feet!" Sonny snaps out

"Oh, come on" Tully says with a little laugh "Stop playing so hard to get. So tell me what type of music do you like, huh? Hey remember that Right Said Fred song. Oh My God I just love that one!" he says enthusiastically then starts to sing "I'm too sexy for my shirt, to sexy for my shirt so sexy it hurts…" he tries to get Sonny to sing with him "Come on Sonny, sing with me…" Tully starts to sing some more "I'm a model you know what I mean, I do my little turn on the catwalk…yeah on the catwalk, on the catwalk yeah I shake my little touche on the catwalk."

Sonny looked at Tully like he grew an extra head as he muttered under his breath "This cannot be happening to me…"

Carly and Kai were laughing their ASSES off as they watch Sonny try to fend off his admirer.

I'm the Kind of brotha

Who been doin it my way

Gettin my bread for years

In my career

A new song comes on and Carly lights up as she realizes how perfect it is for the next part of her plaaaan…she couldn't of picked out a better one herself.

Carly grabs the hand of a cute guy who was passing by "Dance with me."

"Whatever you say baby…" he answers

Kai and Jason watch as Carly goes off on the dance floor to dance with this random guy she asked to dance…Kai lifts a hand to her mouth trying to suppress a laugh as Jason just shakes his head.

And every lover

In and out my life

I hear love and left the tears

Without a care

Now on the dance floor not too far away from Sonny and Tully, exactly in his line of sight just like Carly wanted it, she dances with this cute nameless guy…she didn't want to know his name since she didn't need to cause his only use was for her payback plan and nothing more. Carly's hands pull him close to her as she grinds her hips in to him in rhythm with the fast beat of the song.

"You're so tense, Sonny…I can help you with that. I'm good with my hands." Tully tries flirting again as he reaches out to try and massage Sonny's shoulders again

"Hey! Unless you and your hands want to find yourselves at the bottom of the river in a clunk of cement I suggest you don't try that again. Do you know who I am? I know how to get rid of a body."

"Ouch you're so forceful…I like that." Tully grins totally turned on

"Where the hell is Johnny?" Sonny says as he looks around trying to find him…

Sonny didn't want to cause a huge scene on the dance floor by kicking Tully's ass to get him to back off…if he did that, it would be a sure way for Carly to continue to push him away for making her first night as a club owner a disaster.

As he looks around for Johnny, Sonny instead found his eyes on Carly who was dancing very provocatively with some other punk. He starts to ball up his fists at his sides; his eyes grew dark with rage as he continues to watch Carly all over this other guy.

Until I met this girl who turned the tables around

She caught me by surprise

I never thought I'd be the one breaking down

With her hands roaming all over his chest, Carly continues her dance while making slight glances over at Sonny…the corners of her mouth curve in a smile as she saw Sonny couldn't keep his eyes off of her and the look in his eyes was dark and intense.

Inwardly Carly says to herself "Aww what's the matter Sonnyboy? Don't like the Carlybabes School of payback is a bitch! Well too bad…that's what you get!" Carly runs her hands up her body and through her hair…she turns around so her back is to the guy she's dancing with as she backs her body up against his and he places his hands on her hips.

I can't figure it out why

I'm so

Caught up

Got me feelin' it

Caught up

I don't know what it is

But it seems she's got me twisted

Sonny was seeing red right about now…his jaw was tightly clenched as he kept a watchful eye on Carly. Tully was talking to him but Sonny wasn't hearing a word he was saying since he was still so focused on Carly who should be his woman and in his arms right now instead of being on the dance floor dancing with another man. It was like everything was going in slow motion; the sound of the music fading in the distance and the only thing Sonny could see was Carly rubbing her body up and down this preppy boy punk.

Tully was still trying to get Sonny's attention but it was like he was in another world. Tully finally looks over to what Sonny was clearly so focused on…he sees the hunk Carly is dancing with and comes to the conclusion that he was also who Sonny was eying like a hawk.

"Honey, he's cute but it looks like he's a little more than occupied with Carly…those two are closer than white on rice" Tully says with a little laugh as he brushes his hand slightly on Sonny's arm.

Feeling a hand brushing up against his arm, Sonny's head quickly snapped around looking at Tully causing him to shrink back some in fear…the look in Sonny's eye was homicidal.

"Carly certainly wasn't lying when she said you were edgy." Tully admits

Sonny heard him mention Carly's name…it was like a light bulb went off "You know Carly? How? Answer me!" he snaps "Was she the one who told you I was gay?"

I'm so

Caught up

Got me feelin' it

Caught up

Tully answers…"Yeah, but don't blame Carly…I wasn't supposed to let it slip that she told me." he sighs "You're so manly and take charge and my weakness for bad boys makes me blurt out secrets all the time. Listen, she knew you'd be upset with her for telling…oh, she's gonna just hate me now."

I'm losin' control

This girl's got a hold on me

Sonny got to thinking why Carly would say he was gay… "She must have spotted me talking with those pricks she was dancing with…" Sonny silently says to himself.

He looks back at Carly dancing with that punk while his eyes began to roam her body from head to toe. Watching her body move to the music was like watching sin in action…his own body started to react by just watching her especially one part in particular.

Let me go baby

Now listen

My momma told me

Be careful who you do cuz karma comes back around

Same ol' song

But I was so sure

That it wouldn't happen to me

Cuz I know how to put it down

But I was so wrong

As Carly's hips swayed to the beat, she looked directly at Sonny giving him a knowing smug little smile, letting him know that his suspicions were right, she had seen him talking with the guys she was dancing with and for payback she sent him Tully. Carly's back was still to her dance partner, she lifted her hands sneaking them behind his neck tickling the little hairs there…he took that as a sign to move her back even closer to him, his hands still on her hips. They grinded against each other as Carly kept her eyes on Sonny the whole time.

Carly's smile got even smugger as she thought to herself, "Eat your heart out Sonny Corinthos." she lowered her hands and placed them on the muscular ones that lay on her hips, "What you see is what you DON"T get!"

Carly raised an eyebrow to Sonny…making sure he got her silent message.

This girl was mean

She really turned me out

Her body was so tight

I'm lookin' for her in the daytime with a flashlight

My homies say this girl is crampin my style

And I can't figure it out but

Jason and Kai stood by watching everything and to be honest they were both getting a little worried at this game their friends were playing.

"This does not look good." Kai says

"I know…and Sonny looks like he's about to snap."

They didn't know how right they were, Sonny was about to pop! Especially since it seemed like Carly's little sexy dance was getting even hotter.

Tully sees that Sonny's eyes hasn't left the gentleman that Carly was dancing with…he takes out a business card to his club which also had his home phone number on it then tapped Sonny on the shoulder.

"Sorry honey but Tully is a one fella man…give me a call when you get Carly's little cutie over there out of your system." Tully winks at Sonny and then slips the card in his breast pocket.

As Tully leaves he waves a goodbye to Carly…she gives Tully a little smile saying goodbye. Sonny takes out the card Tully slipped in his pocket and tears it up then drops the paper letting it fall to the ground like confetti.

I'm so

Caught up

Got me feelin it

Caught up

I don't know what it is

But it seems she's got me twisted

Sonny had enough of this…he started cutting his way through the crowd not caring anymore if he caused a scene…just watching Carly dance all sexy up on this other guy was driving him crazy.

Jason and Kai saw what was about to go down and without a word they both instantly start moving through the crowd so they could at least try to keep the damage to a minimum.

I'm so

Caught up

Got me feelin it

Caught up

I'm losin control

This girls got a hold

Carly was now face to face with her dance partner as his hands are still at her hips and her hands running up and down his back. She saw Sonny coming over towards them out the corner of her eye but she didn't let on that she saw him.

Sonny snatched the little prick's hand off of Carly and gave it a painful twist "Get your fucking hands off of her."

I'm so

Caught up

Really feelin' it

Caught up

The guy was taken by surprise, he didn't know what the hell was going on…one minute he was dancing the hottest woman in the place and the next some guy was practically twisting his arm off.

Carly pushed at Sonny's shoulder "Let him go Sonny."

Jason finally got over to them…he steps between Sonny and the guy and got Sonny to let him go.

"What the hell is your problem man!" the guy yells out as he rubbed his wrist

A crowd started to form around watching what was going down…

Sonny ignores the guy and looks straight at Carly "We need to talk."

I'm losin control

This girls got a hold on me

The song continues to play…Carly was about to answer Sonny letting him know where he could stick it but her dancing partner beat her to it…

"Hey! She's not interested…so I think maybe you're the one that better back off." he says as he gives Sonny a shove…obviously he didn't recognize who he was mouthing off to.

And before he knew what hit him, Sonny's right hook made contact sending him to the ground and holding on to his nose that was now bleeding.

"You broke my nose you asshole!"

"Sonny have you lost your mind?!" Carly said in shock.

"We need to talk" Sonny repeats once more as he looks her straight in the eyes "Come on, let's go."

Sonny grabs Carly's hand and then looks at Jason giving him a silent message to take care of things…to make sure the little punk didn't decide to press charges against him later on. Jason gives Sonny a nod and Sonny walks Carly back to her office with her resisting all the way.

Jason takes the guy by his arm and walks him out the back door so he could have a little talk with him…Kai started to do damage control with the crowd on the dance floor.

"Okay, show's over…nothing more to see here…drinks are on the house." Kai says with a forced smile, and then says under her breath as she walks back to the office "And Sonny you better BELIEVE I'm taking that out on your hide!"

The crowd claps and Kai kept up her forced smile as she waved a hand in the air and silently fussing and cussing through gritted teeth as she walked.

"Sonny let go of me!"

Snapping the office door open it flies back until it hit the wall causing a loud bang to occur. Sonny let Carly's hand go once they were inside…

"What the hell was that back there?" Carly yells as she places her hands on her hips ready for battle

"You sent that Tully character over didn't you? How could you tell him I was gay?!"

Carly smirks, "Aww, what's the matter…Mafia Boy didn't like his new admirer?"

"You know damn good and well better than anyone that it's not true. I can prove it to you right here and now. Have you ever done it on a desk before?" Sonny says motioning his hand towards the desk behind her.

"Hey, hey no one needs to see all that!" Kai interrupts as she barrels her way through the opened door "You just keep Sonny Jr. zipped up in your pants you freak…I got a bone to pick with you. Just who the hell do you think you are causing a fight on our first night as club owners? Do you know I had to put all drinks on the house as to not scare all our customers away! And you know what, your ass is gonna pay for that to" Kai says and gives Sonny a little push ending her tirade. "If not then I can just beat your ass like you stole something all over this office." she says the last part very nonchalantly

"Fine. Whatever." Sonny quickly agrees "I don't have time to argue with you right now…"

Sonny takes Kai's hand and leads her to the door

"Hey! Man you better let the hell go of me…" Kai yells

Sonny continues on as if Kai hadn't said a word "Carly and I need to talk alone. So if you wouldn't mind."

"Have you lost your damn mind…" Kai spats out

"See you later Chewbacca" Sonny says the last part with a raise of his eyebrows, a dimpled smile and a slam of the door in her face. Sonny turns around facing Carly "Thought she'd never leave."

"Well, well, well…looks like that phony Mr. Nice Guy routine with Kai earlier is over." Carly calls him on his act… "You know you're gonna pay for that comment right…cause if you think Kai is just gonna let that slide you're sadly mistaken."

"I can handle Kai…but right now she isn't what I want to talk about."

"Oh okay…so you want to talk about the fact that you're a Control Freak Jack Ass! I saw you scaring away Eric and I have no doubt that you did the exact same thing with Sean!"

"So are you admitting to telling that guy I was gay?" Sonny asks again

"What's the matter Sonny…you didn't like the Carlybabes School of Payback? You should have thought about that before you thought you could go around controlling my life!"

"I wasn't controlling your life."

"The hell you weren't! What was that with Sean and Eric then?" Carly fires back

"Okay maybe I made a mistake and went about that the wrong way…but when I saw you with those guys" he pauses "I dunno, I couldn't stand seeing another man with his hands on you."

"Oh, so you're saying you just got jealous?" Carly asks

"Yeah, yeah I guess you can say that…"

"Well you know what, your little plan backfired on you…because I wouldn't be with you now if you got down on your hands and knees and begged! What did you think you were doing huh?!"

"Carly…" Sonny tires to interrupt

"You think you could scare them off then swoop in and charm me with your dimples and we share a dance or two and then you claim me for yourself! Well you know what…you thought wrong! All you did was make me realize that there could never ever be anything between us! We had great sex Sonny but that's all!"

"I can't believe that you actually believe that…"

"Believe it because it's true."

"No it's not…what we had the other night wasn't just sex Carly and you know it. Ever since we met there has been something, some force drawing us to each other…I don't know what it was but it was there…and it's here right now. I know you feel it to. The more we both tried to suppress it…to deny the feelings happening between us the more we argued. When we finally gave in to temptation…I thought it was the start of something new for us…something that could be so good…so right."

"We can't have that Sonny…don't you get it. Relationships are disastrous! They always end up hurting someone in the end…I don't trust them."

"Why? Because of your parents." Sonny asks her point blank "Or because of some loser who conned you in to thinking what you had was love."

"How did you know about…" Carly stops mid-sentence but then it dawns on her how "Kai told you didn't she? I'm gonna kill her!"

"Yeah…she told me. And she wouldn't have if she didn't see in your eyes what you're so desperate to hide."

"What? That I like you and want to be with you?" Carly laughs it off

"Exactly. I'm glad you're finally admitting it to yourself."

"I'm not admitting anything. You're both delusional…and I'm not hiding anything. And anyway I'm not like the usual women you date that jump when you say how high or whose there for your personal bed toy whenever you call or some dim wit who doesn't call you on the shit you shovel to them on a daily basis. You want to go all Control Freak on them then be my guest but you won't do it with me!"

Sonny stood there for a minute taking in everything she said…he starts to think that maybe it was useless to even try to make anything out of them. With a look of hurt and disappointment in his eyes he decides to give her what she wants…but not before he has one last say.

"You know what…" A long sigh escapes… "I'm tired…I'm not gonna argue with you anymore. It's obvious you're comfortable in your world of denial and that I'm just wasting my time trying to convince you otherwise." Sonny tells her…Carly has a look of shock on her face because she couldn't believe he was giving up. Sonny continues "But before I go, let me just leave you with this. I think you're running scared…I think that your relationships in the past are clogging your judgment now and that makes you not able to trust them to not hurt you in the future. Everything can't be perfect Carly. We don't live in a perfect world. You're so afraid of being hurt that you're condemning us before we even start…and by doing that you're wrecking any possibility of ever being happy. Those things that happened in the past are just that…in the past. If you use them as your guide of how all things turn out…you'll never be happy…but maybe that's the way you want it. And if it is then I feel sorry for you because you'll never experience the greatest feeling in the world two people can share…love."

And with that said, Sonny turns around to leave…he doesn't look back. That speech Sonny just told Carly was a hard one for him to make because of his own experiences with past relationships…Lily…Brenda. However he was ready to move on move forward from his past and he'd hoped to move forward with Carly if she'd have let him.

Carly is left standing there speechless watching him turn to walk away. As soon as Sonny opens the door he saw Kai standing there with a smug smile on her face…then he sees why. Kai had a pitcher of what looked like beer in her hand and before he knew it she pours it on top of his head.

"Chewbacca huh?" Kai says repeating what Sonny called her before he slammed the door in her face "Well lets see how you like going home smelling like the bottom of a beer barrel."

Sonny doesn't say a word as he lifts his hands running his hands back through his beer drenched hair and then wipes his eyes. He unbuttons the top buttons of his shirt and without saying a word he walks away.

Carly rushes over to the door and watches Sonny walking away…she looks at Kai "Why did you do that?!" she practically yells

"Hey, you're not the only one who can dish out a course of payback…did you hear what that fool called me."

"Yeah and you've called him worse things but he's never poured a pitcher of beer all over you!"

"So I see he got to you huh…that's why you're defending him?" Kai asks and Carly stays silent just looking down the empty hallway "When I got back with the pitcher I was gonna come back inside and pour it on top of his head but I stopped when I heard what he said to you. And I can't believe I'm about to say this but…" she sighs, "He has a point."

"You agreed with him and you still poured a pitcher of beer on his head?" Carly asks while raising an eyebrow

With a hand on her hip, Kai says "Look at you" she smirks "Getting all defensive over your man." Carly gives her an annoyed look and Kai continues "Retract those claws Cat Woman" she says with a laugh "Anyways, agreeing with Eddie Munster is one thing…letting him get away with that crap he called me and slamming the door in my face is another. Look my point is I want you to be happy…I want you to be able to experience the kind of happiness and relationship I have with Jason. And if you truly have feelings for this man then you need to go for it. Don't let it pass you by. I may not be crazy about the punkass but he's a decent guy." she then waves her finger in a scolding manner "And if you ever tell him I said that those will be the last words you ever say" They laugh "Anyway…you need to figure out what it is that's going to make you be happy. Only you can decide that. Think about it."

Jason was sitting at a table waiting for Kai. Jason had looked around for Kai when he got back inside but didn't see her…he decided to have a seat. He also made sure the guy Carly was dancing with, didn't even attempt to think about pressing charges against Sonny. Once the guy realized who Sonny and Jason were any thought he had about going to the police were quickly exited! Jason made sure the guy knew that if he went to the cops it would be bad for his health.

Jason sees Sonny quickly cutting his way through the crowd…he was all wet and didn't slow down one bit as he storms his way up the entrance stairs and out the door. Not liking what he saw one bit, Jason decided to find out what was going on…he gets up from the table and goes in the direction Sonny had come from. He realizes that Sonny was probably coming from the office in the back so that's where he went.

Once Jason got in the back hallway he sees Kai standing there with what looked like a pitcher in her hand…he noticed it was empty and then realizes that's no doubt the reason why Sonny was all wet.

"Tell me you didn't pour a picture of water on Sonny." Jason says as he walks over to Kai and Carly.

"Okay, I didn't pour a picture of water on Sonny." Kai says with a smile

"What's with the pitcher in your hand then? And why was Sonny all wet just now when I saw him?"

"Because it was a pitcher of beer I poured on him, not water." Kai states plain and simple.

"Why would you…" Jason sighs as he runs a hand through his hair "You know what don't answer I don't even wanna know. I shouldn't be surprised at these things anymore with you and Sonny. You two are never gonna get along."

"We'll get along just fine as long as he treats my girl right…that is if she's having a change of heart about things." Kai looks over at Carly as she says the last part.

Jason looks at Carly and notices she hasn't said a word and looks like she's in deep thought about something.

"You okay" Jason asks but Carly doesn't respond "Carly…hey"

Jason places a hand on Carly's shoulder and she looks up at him…

"I'm sorry did you say something?" Carly asks in a soft tone

"Yeah, I was just asking if you were okay." Jason lowers his hand back to his side

"I'm…I'm fine" Carly says stumbling with her words

"You sure?" Kai ask concerned about Carly.

A small smile creeps at the corners of her mouth as the realization of what she wanted became so clear…

"Yeah…I'm sure." Carly answers

Carly couldn't deny it any longer. She starts to leave but then quickly turns back to Jason and Kai "I have to go."

Carly runs off hoping that she didn't blow it…she was about to take a chance at the happiness she always wanted but never thought she could have. Jason and Kai watch as Carly runs away…

Kai calls out her name wondering where she was going "Carly, Carly!"

Kai and Jason were left standing in the hallway…

"Well she certainly perked up." Jason says as he slides an arm around Kai's waist

Kai smiles "Yeah and I think I have a pretty good idea why."

"Care to share?"

"Later…" Kai turns around to stand in front of Jason…she puts her hands around his waist pulling him to her. Jason does the same as his piercing baby blues look down in to her chocolate brown orbs "Right nooow…what do you saaay…we salvage what's left of tonight?"

"Well, what did you have in mind?" Jason asks but has a pretty good idea what she was thinking.

"Wellllll…I just happen to notice a huge couch in the office. Maybe we should make good use of it?" Kai leans up on her tiptoes and takes his lips in to a fiery kiss "Mmmm what do ya think?" she asks as she leans back.

Jason grins as he takes Kai by surprise lifting her up and she wraps her legs around his waist laughing all the way as he carries her inside the office and slams the door shut with his foot.

"I take it that's a yes!" Kai laughs excitedly

Harbor View Towers

Carly steps off of the elevator on the penthouse level and immediately turns towards Sonny's door. She was surprised when Marco who was guarding the door stopped her.

"Sorry, Carly but the boss doesn't want any visitors. You might not want to see him right now anyway…he's in a pretty bad mood."

"I'll take my chances Marco…" Carly says as she tries to go around him but Marco won't let her.

"Sorry, but I can't let you go in…the boss was very clear about not wanting any visitors and with the mood he's in no way am I trying to get on his bad side."

"Well I'm the reason why Sonny's in such a bad mood but I have something that's guaranteed to cheer him up." Cary says with a wink. She tries to go around Marco again but he still won't let her pass. Carly sighs in frustration but then gets an idea "Maaarrcoo" she puts her hands on his shoulders and rubs up and down his arms "What if I were to uh, hmmm I don't know….scream" she smiles and Marco looks at her confused "And then just when Sonny comes to open the door he see me in your arms and you about to kiss me."

Marco's eyes open WIDE "Oh Come ON now Carly…you trying to get me killed here? You wouldn't do that to me would ya?"

Carly picks a few pieces of invisible lint off Marco's suit jacket and loosens his tie before pulling him down to her so they are inches apart…

"Try me"

Marco saw that she was serious and he had no doubt that she'd do it to…he straightens up and fixes his tie as he sighs in defeat "Okay, okay…" he steps aside, opens the door and he waves his hand for her to enter "Hurry up before I change my mind."

Carly smiles smugly as she strolls inside "Good boy" she gives Marco a pat on his cheek as she walks by him…just as Marco was about to close the door again he stops when he hears "Oh and Marco" Marco looks at Carly as she tells him "No interruptions for real this time or Sonny will be the least of your worries." she says sweetly and tops it off with an innocent smile.

Carly turns and begins walking up the stairs as Marco stands there like a statue for a moment then when he got the feeling back in his legs he quickly went back to his post and closed the door.

Since Sonny wasn't downstairs when she came in, Carly had no doubt where he would be as she made her way up the stairs. Sonny was a neat freak and since Kai poured a pitcher of beer on top of him there was really only one place he would be…

As Carly enters the bedroom, she hears the sound of water running in the shower. She slowly began to walk over to the bathroom door while unzipping the back of her dress…the dress drops to a pool on the floor and her other undergarment soon follow until she is completely naked.

The bathroom door was open just a crack…Carly pushed it open the rest of the way as she silently walks inside making the steam surround her nakedness. Quietly, Carly closes the door making sure she didn't tip Sonny off she was there…she wanted to surprise him.

Sonny stood directly under the warmth of the water as his hands were up and relaxing draped on to the showerhead…eyes closed with his head down as the water rained through his hair and on his body.

When Sonny got back from the club he ordered Marco none too nice that he didn't want any visitors and then proceeded upstairs to take a shower since Kai left him smelling like a beer barrel…he couldn't get clean soon enough as he took the stairs two at a time.

Sonny had been in the shower for a while now and as he stayed inside visions of Carly plagued his thoughts…from the first moment he laid eyes on her to their love making the other night….up until tonight watching her dance while wishing it was him she was dancing with and then their argument.

Just thinking about their argument made Sonny full of disappointment…he couldn't feel the anger right now because he knew that what he and Carly could have had would have been so damn good, so right. Carly wasn't like any of the other women he'd been with…she didn't let him get away with anything, she spoke her mind, and on top of that she matched him in every way in the bedroom. Sonny lets out a long sigh as he silently tells himself he'll get out in a few minutes…

So entranced in his inner thoughts, Sonny didn't pay attention to the cool breeze that came in when Carly slowly pulled back the shower curtain and steps inside behind him. As Carly stood silently behind him she took in the sight of him…from the taut muscles of his back and all the way down to his ass that she couldn't wait to give a squeeze. Biting down on her lip bottom lip some, Carly moves in to make herself known…her hands slowly sneaking around and sliding up the slick wetness of his chest as her breast made contact with his back and her lips with his shoulder.

A light smile crept at the corners of his mouth, Sonny couldn't help it this dream seemed so real like he could actually feel Carly there with him. Carly ran her hands up and down his slick chest…she slid one hand down to his navel and the other further down to his manhood…her hand surrounded his fullness, giving it a light rub, her thumb stroking up and down as her kisses went to the back of his neck and her nipples turned hard pressing against the dampness of his back.

"Carly…"

Sonny calls out her name, still thinking he was dreaming but at the same time it felt so real to him.

Hearing him call her name, Carly brought her hands back up to his chest smoothing them up and down…

Carly whispers his name "Sonny" answering him

Sonny's eyes open and his heart began to race as he realizes that he wasn't dreaming…he lowers his hands from the showerhead and slowly turns around.

For a second he thought his eyes were deceiving him "Are you really here…you're not a dream?"

Carly smiles as she takes his hand in hers and lifts it up to caress her breast "I don't know, you tell me."

Sonny fondles the soft curves of her breast with his thumb passing over the stiffness of her nipple. His eyes watch the gesture and basking in the glory of her nudity. Looking up in to her eyes, Carly sees the silent question Sonny is asking…

Carly places a hand to his cheek "You were right" she pauses "I, I don't want to live in the past…I want to be happy…I want to be with you." she smiles when she sees Sonny's dimples start to show "And if you still want to…I, I want to give us a chance."

Suddenly without warning, Sonny captures Carly's lips in a heated kiss…her arms wrap around his neck while he hands grip her slippery hips and then slides up her back and pulls her body press into him.

Carly felt the rock hardness of his shaft against her; she lets out a moan in anticipation for what was to come. Sonny turns so that Carly's back was to the water making it rain down on her back…he moves his kisses down to her neck and even lower to her breast. Carly lightly nips at her bottom lip as she tilts her head to the side making her hair gets wet in the process…his tongue works its magic as her breast stood at attention. Carly arches her back some making him suck in her nipple…he traces his tongue around her areola and after a while gives the other breast same attention.

Sonny trails his kisses between her twin peaks and back up to her neck at that special spot he learned she loved so much the other night. Carly suddenly found herself being turned around with the water now cascading down her taut breast…her back was skin to skin with his chest. Sonny's hands at her breast lightly squeezing their fullness…Carly leans back against him as she turns her head to the side and their tongues meet in a seductive kiss.

Carly felt a hand travel down the slickness of her stomach and to her quivering heat…she gasps breaking their kiss as she feels him enter a finger inside and then another was entered just as quickly. Sonny dimples at the sight of her mouth gaping open and her eyes rolling back…he began to work his fingers inside her sugar walls. Carly leans her full weight back onto Sonny since the things he was doing to her she wasn't sure if she could stand for much longer. Sonny adds a third finger pumping in and out over and over…faster and faster until Carly found herself panting out loud and her body trembling in orgasmic ecstasy.

Sonny slowly pulls out his fingers as they walk around so that the water is raining down onto his back. He raises his fingers to Carly's mouth letting her taste her herself…it was so erotic.

Looking over her shoulder at him, Carly smiles lazily before saying "My god the things you do to me…I want you so damn bad."

Sonny dimples "You got me." he tells her

Carly turns around facing Sonny and her lips immediately claim one of his nipples giving it a little nip and then lick to sooth the pain…she slowly slides down the length of his body while trailing her nails lightly down his chest as she went.

Once Carly was on her knees, she takes one hand gripping his ass and the other holding his fully erect cock caressing him…slowly she takes his tip between her wanting lips swirling her tongue around its surface. Sonny sucks in a breath as he places one hand on her head and the other on the shower wall for balance…Carly slowly inches him fully in to her mouth; she began working him in and out sucking his fullness.

"Dios Mio" Sonny pants in Spanish…he blows out a breath as Carly continued to work him in and out faster and faster. He grunts out "Yeah, yeah…oh shit!"

Sonny felt himself about to break…Carly stills her movements leaving him inside filling her hot lips to the hilt. Sonny looks down wondering why she'd stopped…little by little, inch-by-inch Carly eases his length out until she once again reached his tip and then just as slowly she took him back inside in sweet, sweet torture.

Once again she gradually eases him out and then slowly suck him back in again with her lips surrounding him like a glove. This slow pace was indeed torturous for Sonny but still he loved every minute of it…Carly slowly began to pick up her pace until he was grunting and moaning once again and finally bursts. Sonny runs his hands through her wet curly hair as he fights to catch his breath.

Carly stands up trailing kisses up his stomach, his chest, his neck and then finally captures his lips as her tongue dances with his. Sonny wraps his arms around her back pulling her to him as Carly digs her nails in to his back as the passion of their kiss intensified.

Sonny reluctantly pulls back from her lips as he looks deeply in to her eyes "Maybe we should get out of here…we stay in her any longer we're gonna prune." Sonny dimples show as he laughs a little and Carly smiles with a slight nod "Besides I got bigger plans for you so we're gonna need the room." he says in a low raspy tone

Carly lets out a little delighted squeal "Mmm" she gives him a quick kiss "Let's go"

Carly reaches behind Sonny and turns off the water. Sonny laughs a little while watching her quickly get out of the shower…he follows. Once Sonny is out of the shower he sees Carly is wrapping a towel around her body. He raises an eyebrow…

"What's the towel for it's just gonna come off anyway?" Sonny asks with his dimples flaring in full force

Sonny pulls Carly to him with her towel-covered body now against his bare one…

"Oh really?" Carly smirks "Then how come it's not off yet, huh?"

Sonny unwraps the towel from around her body and then snaps it away completely…Carly lets out a little laugh as he did. She takes the towel from him and began to lightly pat it on his chest drying him off somewhat. Sonny silently watches her as she dries him off…Carly takes the towel and moves it around to his back as he pulls him to her still holding the towel against his back. She began to smooth her hands up and down his back letting her movements against the towel dry his back as their nude bodies are pressed together.

Dropping the towel to the floor, Carly says "There we go…all dry."

"Yeah…well I hope at least one part of you is still wet."

Sonny lifts Carly up and she wraps her legs around his waist…their lips meet in a heated kiss as Sonny carefully opens the door and walks them in to his bedroom. Sonny lays Carly down crossways in the middle of the bed…his body half laying and hovering on top of hers as not to crush her with his full weight. Carly runs her fingers through his hair making it a damp curly mess…their kiss is suddenly halted as Sonny looks down in to her eyes with a wicked gleam.

"You know what…" Sonny flashes his dimples and then clears his throat some "I think I should go down and uh check to make sure… my woman here is still nice and moist for me. I'm a little thirsty."

Carly nibbled down on her bottom lip as Sonny proceeds on his way down her body while trailing kisses here and there until he reached her sweet spot between her legs. Not wasting anytime Sonny spreads her legs and helps himself to a taste of her flavor…his tongue licking and swirling around as his face is practically buried between her legs as he drinks from her.

Carly was in complete ecstasy from his wicked tongue…she thrashes her head side to side as she stretches out her arms and took a fist full of the covers pulling them down exposing the blue satin sheets. Her hips began to jerk which takes Sonny even deeper inside. Carly put her hands on his head running her fingers wildly through his hair as she arches her back and let out a cry of joy as her body began to vibrate and her orgasm overwhelms her body.

Sonny continues to lap her honey as she rides out her climax and then crawls his way up her quivering body. He flashes his dimples at the sight of her loving that he was the one making her feel so good. Their lips meet and Carly can once again tasted herself…the bed became a jumbled mess as the lovers roll each other back and forth taking turns being on top until they finally found themselves in between the sheets.

Sonny was back on top and he took that opportunity to enter her in one swift move hitting her core. Carly lets out a heated breath and Sonny stays still while looking down at her mouth gaping open at his swift entry taking her to the hilt. Once Sonny was sure Carly was ready he starts out with a slow pace as their eyes stay trained on each other.

Carly runs her nails down his back and to his ass giving it a squeeze signaling him in a silent message to pick up the pace. Sonny took the message and began to do just that. His slow thrusts increase faster and faster until he is drilling his steel pipe with deep thrusts causing the headboard to thump loudly against the wall.

Their bodies are covered with a sheen sweat! Carly's turns her head to the side as Sonny was nestled in the crook of it…the thumping on the wall gets louder and louder with every drill, every grind, every stroke, every pump and thrust.

Carly was the first to break…Sonny follows soon afterward with a couple more thrusts flooding her with his liquid love. His body collapses on top of hers. Carly welcomes his weight as she lightly runs her hands up and down his back. Sonny slowly pulls out and rolls to her side…he places a hand to her cheek stroking it lovingly with his thumb as he looks deep into her eyes. She smiles lazily at him.

"You're incredible you know that…" Sonny says

With a little grin, Carly replies "You're not so bad yourself."

"I'm glad you changed your mind."

"Me to" Carly smiles

Sonny continues to stroke her cheek as he says "So you know what this means right…this makes you my lady. That's not gonna spook you again isn't? You're not gonna go running out that door again right?"

Shaking her head, Carly replies "No…I'm right where I want to be and that's with you."

"Good…because your mine now and I'm yours." Sonny tells her in no uncertain terms

"Oh yeah…" Carly says with a little giggle and then says "You're lucky I like the sound of that."

"You wanna know what I like?"

"What do you like?"

"I like the fact that you're so strong…feisty…passionate…beautiful and sexy as hell…" he pauses "Oh and did I mention stubborn" he flashes his dimples and Carly playfully swats his arm at his last description. She smirks and Sonny continues "You're everything I could ever want in a woman."

"Yeah?" Carly asks

Sonny whispers "Yeah…"

"Hmmm…I think you're just hooked on the Great, Fabulous, Mind-Blowing, Kinky Sex" Carly says with a raise of her eyebrows and a little giggle.

Sonny grins "That too…but I'm also hooked on the woman. You're not like any other I've ever met."

"Oh so you like Carlybabes huh? The Bad Girl Extraordinaire…"

"Carlybabes?" Sonny questions with a laugh

They sit up some with Sonny lying back against a pillow while Carly straddles his lap and he places his hands on her hip…his eyes are now fixated on her full perky breast on display.

"Yeah…that would be me. There's just one thing to know about Carlybabes and that's don't get on her bad side. She's a bitch when it comes to payback." Carly grins as she adds in "A lesson you had to learn tonight."

Sonny looks up at her face as he takes his eyes away from ogling her breast "Oh so it was Carlybabes that sent that Tully guy over then huh?"

Carly laughs "Yep" she nods and then leans down until she is just inches away from his lips as she tells him "Carlybabes is damn good at being bad…" she captures his lips in a quick sensual kiss and ends it just as quickly with a tug at his bottom lip "Just wait until you see her looking Hot in her black leather mini skirt, blue sequenced tube-top and thigh high boots. You'll be addicted at just the sight of her."

"Rrrreally" Sonny says rolling his r's

"Yeah…really."

With a hunger in his eyes, Sonny frames her face with the palms of his hands "I'm already addicted."

And with that, Sonny swiftly seizes Carly's lips in a fiery, breathtaking kiss…their bodies fuse together again as one in heat, passion and desire. It was sure to be a loooooooooong night of love making…no sleep for the two passion driven lovers.

The End
