Metro Court Hotel

It had been a few days he hadn't taken any of her calls``Hey Morgan it's mom can you please call me I don't like where we left things can you just call me I love you bye" Carly said. As she hung up the phone with a sigh"still no answer "Someone said from behind making her turn around "Mom what are you doing here I thought you were. In London with Tony '' she says going to hug her mother"well you said you were having a hard time so I came back to be here for you" Bobbie says. Shaking her head "Mom I've called him a thousand times and nothing you know I just don't get it he could have any girl why does it have to be her you know.

Ughh I mean he's handsome, he's smart and he can do better than that bitch's daughter and don't get me started on AJ'' she says. "Carly sweetheart you can't tell Morgan who to love anymore then I could tell you then no matter how many times Sonny. Had hurt you I couldn't stop you from going back to him and you did several times over and now it seems you got it right but how much hurt did you cause each other and other people Carly. And if we're gonna talk about AJ, he saved Josslyn's life and got shot protecting Michael that time Anthony Zaccharra took a shot at Sonny with Michael there.

He and Michael were both hurt severely and yes she may be AJ's goddaughter but that wasn't on her Carly you have to think of your son in all this' ' Bobbie says. Putting her clipboard down "Mom I am thinking about my son and I just feel like he's settling you know I mean he's only ever told Josslyn about this girl it can't be that serious. If he didn't tell his brothers or anyone " Carly replied, " Carly you know I love right but this is why he didn't tell you because you do. And you try to find ways to invalidate his feelings. Why not try and get to know this girl he seems to be crazy about" the older woman says.

As Carly looked at her mother"how do you know that it can be a momentary thing" she replies Bobbie chuckles "I Spoke to him and if I'm being honest he told me was gonna propose" she says. "He told you" she said In disbelief "Well to be fair I called him some time before and he just seemed really nervous but excited but I could tell he was really happy. So I congratulated him and he told me he would call me when it was over and he did. He seemed really , really happy when I spoke to him through FaceTime and so did she too. Come on now Carly you know how it is at that age.

And being in love look all I'm saying is put yourself in his shoes he's a combination of both you and Sonny so he's gonna dig his heels in the same as either of you would" Bobbie says making Carly sigh. Knowing that her mother was right"mom he's not answering my calls at all, not even a text" Carly replies, "I see you and Mike are busy huh" Sonny says coming over and kissing his wife and hugging his mother in law. "What do you mean" Carly says looking at him"Well let's just say I had the same conversation with Mike about the situation with Morgan.

And I can't argue with it because nobody could tell me what to do either you know and he's a lot like us and he's not gonna stop until he gets what he wants. He's determined to do this whether we like it or not we're the same way we can fight him on it but I think this is one of those situations where we have to let him fall. And just be there to pick him up when things don't go the way he thinks it is. You know we've all been there, love isn't perfect and that's what he thinks it is.

But I had Jason reach out to him. Hopefully he'll take Jason's call because he isn't taking my mine or Carly's calls" Sonny says. When Bobbie slid Carly something "call her maybe she'll answer all I'm saying is put his feelings over yours just try and see what he sees now let me see what should I have for lunch " the older woman says opening the menu. As Carly looked at the number and put it in her pocket "Mom, enjoy your lunch it's on me" Carly said hugging her before leaving with Sonny following to her office as she sat down and took a deep breath.

With him pour her a glass of water then handed it to her as he sat down "what are you thinking" he asked, "about what I'm going to say to this girl but mostly what I'm going to say to Morgan he's so like us Sonny. So I know he means every word he says" she says shaking her head as she looks down at the number " I agree Mike told me no matter how hard he tried to push. To be a part of my life I wanted no parts of it and in that way Morgan's like me he wants what he wants when he wants it and he wants this girl. I mean what are we gonna do fight him on it you know how he gets when he's like this he's gonna put up a fight " he says, "Sonny how do I do this we were forced to deal with AJ in our lives because of these people and.

Now I have to deal with these people for Morgan. I don't know if I can do that Sonny like why this girl of all people" Carly says. He sighs "I don't know anymore then you do Carly but we have to find out why and get to the bottom of this" he replies. Only making her sigh even more "Well here goes nothing" she says taking her phone out and dialing the number. "Hello is this Reya wait don't hang up I really need to speak to Morgan and you so just hear me out. He's just left so then you can hear me, you did what did they say" she says, "Put it on speaker" Sonny said making her put it on speaker phone "I want to know what your parents think of this I'm sure they can't be too happy about this" Carly says.

" Honestly they said the same thing Morgan said. It has nothing to do with him and I and that it was in the past and it shouldn't affect what we have going on. And If i'm being honest I love Morgan and I believe in him and that should be more important then. What happened when he and I were babies because they don't think about you guys like that, they're not like what can we do to piss them off. They have no personal grievances against you because I'm sure you guys would do the same for your own friends, am I right" Reya said.

"We are just concerned this is all really sudden for him just out of nowhere we didn't even know the two of you were dating. He never told his dad and I about you" Carly says, "Did you ask or did you really believe he was going to see Feddy all that time come on now. He loves the guy but not like that and you confide in who you can trust so I don't feel no way about it" she responds. "I think we just need to sit down and actually talk and get to know each other before you jump into marriage. Because it's a big step you know and he just started a business that's gonna need his attention" the woman says. "Our attention because I am one of the partners in that business that we started up. We already have a branch in New York City.

And now we are working on the branch here in Miami so Feddy doesn't have to keep flying back and forth with his wife being pregnant. So we need a branch here so not just for him but it makes sense to do so because none of us live in New York, But Morgan's and Feddy's friend Collin so it was a really good business move umm hold on someone is calling ooh crap. Umm gonna have to take this call but i'll tell him to call you guys back bye" Reya said, hanging up, making Carly look at Sonny "do you think she's gonna call us back" Carly questions. Feeling indecisive "well you called she spoke to you and if she really loves Morgan like she claims then she's gonna have to call us back" Sonny says reassuringly before hugging his wife.

Morgan and Reya's condo

He sat at the desk in their home deep in thought when she came inside wrapping her arms around his neck. Hugging him then coming around and standing in front of him making him take a deep breath "talk to me what's rattling in that head of yours " she says. When his phone rings, making him groan"did the delivery come yet" he asked, trying to change the subject not wanting to talk about it. "Let me guess it was your mother, father or your brother again" Reya says picking his face up so that he was looking at her he sighs"Rey all I'm asking them.

To do it is get to know you for me but they could never put aside what they want for me but they always did for Michael and it aggravates me that they put up. With AJ for saving Joss and Mikey's life but they can't put up with your parents for me am I not worth it to them and don't even get me started on Marlo. Trying to tell me he thinks it's the situation with Kiki all over but in actuality he thinks he can read people better than I do and he's my mom three times over .

And the fact my parents aren't on board that means he isn't either. You know he's the one that thinks that he has to give me tough love because I need to hear it. The truth is Rey I didn't want to start a company with him because to him it's about competition. He doesn't think If I win, he wins that we all win he's about himself I like doing business who's gonna see it as we do you understand" Morgan says. Gripping her waist as she caressed his face "Okay one step at a time alright don't over think this Morgan alright.

I need you to put your mind at ease if they love you like they say they do they have to prove that okay. That's it okay now I will wait for the delivery people you have to get to the office alright so just focus on that. Now Vamos Corinthos" she says going to pull him up when he yanks her towards him. With a smile "Thanks Rey for always being my sounding board I mean that" he says with his hands on her waist. As she stood over him in her biker shorts and a crop top that she wore to the gym "Anytime now come on" Reya replies, pulling him up and leading him out of their home office in their new Condo.

When he hugged her holding her tight as they walked towards the room before he went to get dressed and get to the office she was working from home. Because they were expecting their furniture to come and he offered to come in so he would as he went into the closet he found his suit and everything laid out for him. Peeking out of the closet "your welcome look in the top drawer where your ties are I have a surprise for you "she said as he smiled. "Do you know how much I love you Reya Dianelys Nakamura" Morgan said, "No tell me she says coming into the closet in her robe with her hair up.

As he brought her into his arms"very, very, very much umm" he kissed her. "Well I love you too now go get dressed. I have to take a quick shower before these people get here" she says as he tosses his head back. "Alright fine but later I'm taking that all over our new furniture" he replies as she walked away then going to take her shower while he got dressed when he opened the drawer he saw a brand new watch a Rolex president 18 k diamond set that he put on when she came up behind him and hugged him.

"You like it" she asked with her head on his shoulder looking up at him"I love it thank you and I love you more" he said kissing her on top of her head. Before putting on his jacket as she stopped him then spraying cologne on him as she turned him around with him shaking his head. "Now go be great, I love you" Reya said with a smile kissing then pushing him away. "I love you too Reya," he said, leaving to go get his shoes from the closet downstairs. Now she left them there for him to see only making him smile and then he saw it. All he could do was shake his head. She loved how he looked in suits, had them all ironed and hung up.

That reminded him he had to do something for her nice for her, maybe dinner and a movie, those old ones that she likes so much. Morgan thought when his phone rang for the millionth time it was either his parents or his brother Marlo and he wasn't taking their calls. Putting his phone in his pocket then grabbing his bag and his keys and left the house meanwhile after she got dressed. She came downstairs then looked around their new place now their furniture needed to hurry up and come. When her phone rang she looked at the number "Hello umm Hi Mrs. Corinthos I'm not what can I do for you.

Well sorry he isn't here right now he left not too long ago umm okay what's up" she said looking at the phone strangely "Honestly they said the same thing Morgan said. It has nothing to do with him and I and that it was in the past and it shouldn't affect what we have going on. And If i'm being honest I love Morgan and I believe in him and that should be more important then. What happened when he and I were babies because they don't think about you guys like they're not like he what can we do to piss them off.

They have no personal grievances against you because I'm sure you guys would do the same for your own friends, am I right" Reya said. Shaking her head "ah huh Did you ask or did you really believe he was going to see Feddy all that time come on now. He loves the guy but not like that and you confide in who you can trust so I don't feel no way about it" she responds. All she could do was listen "Our attention because I am one of the partners in that business that we started up. We already have a branch in New York City.

And now we are working on the branch here in Miami so Feddy doesn't have to keep flying back and forth with his wife being pregnant. So we need a branch here so not just for him but it makes sense to do so because none of us live in New York, But Morgan's and Feddy's friend Collin so it was a really good business move umm hold on someone is calling ooh crap. Umm gonna have to take this call but i'll tell him to call you guys back bye" Reya said hanging up.

Answering the other line"Hello yes I'm here I'll come down and show you the way up" she says before hanging up her phone and grabbing her slippers and going downstairs several hours later. He came home to find her on the sofa with a glass of wine reading through emails. She was in a crop top and yoga pants . "Hey gorgeous, did everything get here today" Morgan says, putting his bag down then taking his shoes off and going to wash his hands. Then going to kiss her "Yes it did we just need to get the bedding for the guest rooms but we don't have to rush to get anything. But I had an interesting conversation today with your mother" Reya answered, looking up at him, making him groan.

And Tossing his head back "I'm sorry Rey it won't happen again I'll deal with her" he answered, "Don't be there's nothing to be sorry about. She was looking for you. My guess is Mikey gave her my number" she replies, as he gave her another groan. "What did she want?" he questions as she turns to face him "She wanted to speak to you she says "Were just concerned because all of this was really sudden and that they didn't even know you were dating anyone.

And she made it a point to say that you never told anyone but your little sister about me and In return. I asked if they asked you which is a no then I said you couldn't possibly believe you were coming to see Feddy. All this time but she did say that she wanted us to sit down and talk and get to know each other because Marriage is a big step. Which it is then she says because you have a business you're trying to build and i told her it was our business that it wasn't just you. Then I got the call from the delivery guys so I had to hang up but I told her I would call her back. And you know I meant you would call her back, not me.

I'll be here to support you and can calm you in any way I can so what do you want to do" Reya says. As Morgan groaned, laying his head in her chest "Ahh I'll deal with them let me take a shower and then I'll call them" he replies. Laying there with his head in her chest with her running her hand through his hair "It's gonna be fine I promise now put your shoes away thank you. Ooh and there dinner there" she says making him pick his head up "Ooh what'd you cook" Morgan asked. "I made grilled chicken with asparagus and two baked potatoes for you. I just had the chicken and the asparagus" she replies. "You could eat one baked potato babe in the gym 6 times a week, it's okay" he says, "I know but it's not my cheat day.

And I don't want to be as big as a house Morgan. I was the little fat girl I don't want to be that" Reya says. Making him sit up then cupping her face "Babe look at me you're not fat you are perfect just the way you are alright you're sexy and curvaceous and I love every part of you" Morgan said. Kissing her when she grabs his face and just looks at him in awe"thank you, I appreciate that so go shower and I'll warm your food up and then you can call your parents back" she says. Only making him groan again "they're testing you Rey you have to know that" he says, "I get that but do you want me to stop being honest because of who they are.

I can't do that ,you love me because I'm me" Reya answered, "I do okay but I don't want them banking on your honesty so when I do speak to them. I'm going to tell them not to call you to make me talk to them. I will talk to them when I'm ready. I'm not gonna let them use you to get their way, no I'll be back in a minute but you can come with me if you want to " Morgan said going to shower. "Hmm still recovering from the last romping shop from earlier so that's a negativeee" she says when he kisses her, "I'll be gentle" he says against her lips.

Trying to pull up her crop top up with her keeping her hands on his stopping him from taking it off"Morggannn tomorrow please " she says with a grin. As he grabs her hips sliding her closer to him when he kisses and sucking on her neck with him on top of her with one of his hands going between her legs stroking her heated core. And the other kneaded her breast "I bet you're really wet right now just one taste baby please " Morgan whispers, making her moan and instantly reacting to his touch kissing down to her collarbone.

As he massaged her clit as she gasped when her phone started ringing "Babe , babe wait, wait " Reya says grabbing his hand that was doing The most quickly picking up her phone. While he continued playing with her breast trying to pull her shirt up to taste her bosom"hellooo umm hi coño yesss hold on me I'm fine he's right here" she says passing him the phone. "Hello shittt hi mom, yes I just got home. I've been really busy with work ,the move, me and Reya getting our new furniture and everything for our new place so yes I've been busy" He said with a groan. Never moving from on top of her with his hand on her breast still playing with her nipple ring making her look at him and bite her lip trying to get him off.

When she gripped his manhood hard catching him off guard so she was able to get up as she shook her head as she sat up next to him. Running her hands over his manhood before stopping and just watching him "Uhuh shittt yeah mom but you have to understand where I'm coming from. No you guys don't know because you don't ask when's the last time you asked me about me besides if I'm on top of taking my medication. Or hey your brother says you're not taking Perks seriously or let's try Marlo's constant bitching about not liking any of my marketing ideas.

It was always about him. So no, you never asked me about my life or why I was never home when I told you guys last year I was working on something you guys told me to get my head out of the clouds and focus on perks. Wait, my favorite just a couple of months ago when I told you I was moving and you guys also said no and thought you shut down my idea of leaving you didn't. Really and you guys have a major problem with underestimating me and if we go there let's talk about my trust issues shall I where did we come from mom.

I don't want to argue with you either, what then prove it mom put my wants and happiness over what you think because neither of you took the time to even talk to her. The moment you heard AJ was her godfather you two again shut down what I want then dad had the gall to try and dismiss her like she means nothing. In reality she means everything to me and you guys blew it off. It's not about you guys mom this is ABOUT ME AND WHAT I WANT. Would you no and I'm talking sincerely mom not telling me what I want to hear so you can come and undermine my relationship oh come on mom you're good at it. This is what you do.

I know this yes you do it all the time to get your way, not this time so I'm gonna need more assurance then that Mom haha nope. Your promise doesn't amount to anything you will say anything if it gets me to play ball umm really then bring my sisters with you guys let's make it a family thing. Now we have the room. I'll believe Joss or Avery before I believe you or dad and that's just a fact. I'm sorry the truth hurts mom. So what it's gonna be fine when the girls' classes are over bring them for a few days babe what do you think that would be good to get to know each other right yeah so let me know when.

But I have to go mom I have to shower and everything yeah I'll call you back later or tomorrow bye" Morgan said hanging the phone up. Then running his hand through his hair when she got up and sat on his lap"it's gonna be fine you said you're peace now we wait and watch because I will not allow anybody to come in here. And destroy what we've had Morgan because for so long we've been our own worst enemy so no more I got you they act up there's the door and only people that will be involved are those that support us okay.

Now go shower then you can eat your food then me and then slide in between these velvet ropes" Reya said wiggling her eyebrows making him smile as he kissed her and got up. To go and take his shower with her getting up to warm up his food twenty minutes later he was coming into the living room. With the baseball game on and his food and drink in front of his plate "COÑO MALDITO ESTÚPIDO '' she shouted at the tv. Making him shake his head as he sat down taking the foil of his food "who's playing" Morgan asked. " The Marlins and the Braves YESS LET'S GO '' she says with her eyes on the tv, " Aren't' the Yankees playing too put that one on too' ' he asked. With her putting on both games at the same time with them both watching.
