Patrick: "What are you doing in that exam room?"
Sabrina: "Oh, I was just cleaning up."
Patrick: "Really because from who I saw come out of the room before you didn't look like a patient at all. It was your ex-boyfriend."
Sabrina: "Alright Patrick, what do you want?"
Patrick: "Sabrina you know what I want. I want another chance with you."
Sabrina: "Well that is not going to happen. You know how things went the first time."
Patrick: "Well I do know that, but I know that your father and brothers would much rather see you with me than your other ex boyfriend at this point."
Sabrina: " You wouldn't blackmail me would you?"
Patrick: "No, think of it as an agreement to keep my mouth shut for who I saw come out of the exam room you were in from your father and brothers."
Sabrina: "Fine, but if I find out you are rubbing in it Carlos' face. I will just tell my brothers and father myself."
Patrick: "Sounds good to me. So where to you want to go for dinner?"
Sabrina: "Oh goody, it's starting already."
Sabrina had texted Carlos what had happened and what the new situation was. He wasn't happy about it, but knew that until Sonny and her brothers saw him as a good person for Sabrina, they wouldn't let him near her. Sabrina and Patrick kept everyone out of their secret as the less people knew the better.
Sonny's Restaurant
Sonny: "My sons!" Coming up to Dante and Michael.
Michael: "Hey dad, what is going on?"
Sonny: "Well Morgan and I had an encounter with Carlos today at the hospital. We were able to run interference but we lost him. That's why Morgan decided we needed to meet to come up with a plan."
Morgan: "That's right, we don't know anything about this guy besides he is from Puerto Rico and he dated Sabrina."
Dante: "Yeah, well I would do a background check on him, but I don't know his last name."
Michael: "Well I guess we need to get all the information we can out of Sabrina."
Michael pulled out his cell phone and called Sabrina. Sabrina was walking with Patrick on their way to dinner at Sonny's restaurant. She knew what she was risking going there with him, but her family only came in before the restaurant opened to check the books.
Sabrina: "Hey Michael, what's up?"
Michael: " We were wondering if you could come to dad's restaurant to tell us about Carlos."
Sabrina: "Yeah, sure. Patrick and I are actually headed there now."
Michael: "Patrick? What are you doing with him?"
When Michael said Patrick, the rest of the Corinthos men started to pay more attention to the phone call.
Sabrina: "Listen I will explain to you all when we get there."
Michael: "Okay, see you soon."
Michael hung up the phone and the rest of them were staring at him.
Michael: "I have no idea, she said she would explain when they got here."
####
Sabrina: "Great. I hope you are ready to get an earful."
Patrick: "Why?"
Sabrina: "Because not only is my family at the restaurant, but they also want to talk about Carlos."
Patrick: "Well should we just pretend we are in love?"
Patrick leaned in and kissed Sabrina. She couldn't help but get lost in the moment and remember how she had wanted so badly to date him the first time. They broke apart.
Sabrina: "Come on let's get this over with."
They walked into the restaurant and stopped cold when they saw the four sets of eyes staring back at them. She knew she couldn't turn around and run, so she made forward movement and greeted them with a kiss and a hug. Patrick hung back as he knew his turn to feel the wrath was coming.
Sonny: "Sabrina, what are you doing with him?"
Sabrina: "Well after you left the hospital, Patrick wanted to talk and we agreed to see how things would go if we went slowly."
Sonny looked at Morgan.
Sonny: "I should have had you stay."
Morgan: "Sorry dad but we were both so focused on making sure Carlos didn't find Sabrina that we forgot about Patrick."
Patrick: "Well that makes me feel better."
Sonny glared at him.
Sonny: "Why don't you two join us? We have to talk to Sabrina anyway and it may take a while."
Sabrina looked at Patrick as if to say 'sit down now.' Patrick did as she said and they got on with the meal. Patrick made sure to be grabby at the table as he knew no one would do or say anything in front of Sabrina or to disrupt the other patrons.
Dante: "So about Carlos."
Sabrina: "I don't think it is very polite of you to ask about him in front of Patrick." Grabbing Patrick's hand.
Patrick: "Oh don't worry, I want to hear all about him." He said kissing her on the temple.
Sabrina pasted a smile on her face.
Sabrina: "Fine. His name is Carlos Rivera. I met him in high school and the man who was my supposed father didn't like him."
Sonny: "A man after my own heart."
Sabrina: "He was out of school when I met him but the age difference didn't bother me, so when my dad forbade me to see him; I snuck around seeing Carlos and we got pretty serious. We dated until I graduated college. He wanted to get married and have kids right after I graduated, but I wanted to be a nurse. He didn't agree with that and that is when I broke up with him and moved here. Any questions?"
They were all stunned with how much she told them.
Dante: "Did you know what he did?"
Sabrina: "No, that is the only thing in all the years we dated, I never knew. That is what makes me nervous."
Patrick saw how concerned Sabrina's family was at the last statement. He was concerned too.
Sonny: "I'm glad that you told us this. This makes me glad we are watching out for you at work, and you are staying with me. Dante do you think you could find him so I can talk to him, figure out what he does."
Dante: "Yeah, sure. We will bring him in." Grabbing his brother's shoulders.
Sabrina: "Just don't kill him." She said as they got up from the table.
Dante: "That's not my job, that's Sonny's."
Sabrina put her hand over her face.
Sabrina: "Oh my God."
Sonny: "Don't worry about it. It will be taken care of."
Sabrina: "Just please don't kill him." Looking at him as he went out the door following his sons.
With the door closing, Sabrina could see her hopes of a possible relationship with Carlos fading.
Patrick: "Well I guess we finally have quality time."
Sabrina: "Yeah I guess so."
Though she enjoyed Patrick's company she couldn't get Carlos out of her head and especially out of her heart.
