CHAPTER FIFTEEN

SONNY’S BEDROOM, THE PENTHOUSE:

Sonny(wakes up just as Carly is about to slip her hand down the front of his pajama bottoms. Carly has been having her way with Sonny while he slept for quite some time and he awakes feeling the effects)Carly, what do you think you’re doing?

Carly:(trails kisses up his chest before looking at him)Enjoying myself.

Sonny(suddenly notices Carly isn’t wearing a nightgown)What happened to your nightgown. You were wearing it when we went to bed, last night.

Carly: It’s the strangest thing. I just got so warm in the middle of the night I had to take it off. I don’t know what it is about sleeping with you that makes me so hot. You’re looking a little hot-and-bothered at the moment, yourself. Maybe you should slip out of your pajama bottoms and get more comfortable. I think I’ll sleep like this from now on. It’s just so much more enjoyable. And I really love the way these satin sheets feel against my flesh.(she trails her finger down the middle of his chest) You must too, or you wouldn’t have them on your bed.

Sonny(catches her hand before she can slip it inside his pajama bottoms)All right, Carly, what are you up to. You told me we couldn’t do anything until your doctor says it’s all right.

Carly: Sonny, surely a control freak like yourself could handle taking it to the limit without doing that one little thing.

Sonny: That one little thing as you call it, is what makes the whole thing worthwhile. Without that one little thing it’s like having a banana split without the banana. You can have the whip cream, cherry, chocolate sauce and ice cream, but without the banana it aint a banana split.

Carly: (lays on her back and stares up at the ceiling) You really know how to kill a mood. How could you mention The Banana right at this moment.

Sonny: I wasn’t talking about her. Besides, I’ve never really cared for banana splits, anyway. A spicy blonde tart is more to my liking, these days.

Carly: Watch it, Sonny.

Sonny: I was just joking, besides you’ve more than had your revenge on me, this morning. I’m going to have to take a very cold shower to be in any condition to go to work, today.

Carly: Speaking of which, did you hear what they said on the news, last night. Because of all the hot weather we’ve been having lately they urge all the good citizens of Port Charles to conserve on water. You taking a shower than me taking a shower seems like an awfully big waste of water. Especially, when we could save water by simply taking a shower together.

Sonny: Forget it, Carly.

Carly: What’s the matter, Sonny. Don’t you have enough self-control to take a shower with me without doing something you know you can’t.

Sonny: Listen, sweetheart, anything you throw at me I can handle.

Carly: Good, then from now on we’ll be good little citizens of Port Charles and conserve water by showering together.

Sonny: You’re going to kill me with sexual frustration. You know that, don’t you.

Carly: What a way to go. Besides, just think how great the sex is going to be between us when he can finally be together, again.

GENERAL HOSPITAL:

Stefan(steps off the elevator and see Tony and Bobbie talking to Mac. He walks over that way and blatantly eavesdrops on the conversation)

Bobbie(with tears streaming down her face hands Mac a picture of Lucas)This is the latest picture of Lucas I have.

Stefan: (stepped forward)Has something happened to Lucas?

Tony: Not that we know of. Lucas didn’t come home from school and we haven’t heard from him since.

Stefan: What a world we live in. It’s gotten so a child isn’t even safe on the school playground alone anymore without being exposed to nefarious predators. If it isn’t drug pushers, it’s child molesters. Barbara, you did warn Lucas not to get into a car with a stranger.

Mac: Mr. Cassadine, you’re not helping here.

Stefan: I was just wondering if Barbara warned Lucas about the tricks some of these predators pull to lure a child into getting in a car with them or going off with them. Sometimes they use candy and other times they use a puppy to entice a child into their clutches.

Bobbie: This is all your fault. If anything happens to Lucas, you’re to blame.

Stefan: Excuse me.

Bobbie: If I weren’t so afraid that if I left work early to pick up my son that you’d use it as an excuse to fire me, I would have been there to pick him up and everything would be fine.

Stefan: Barbara, I looked at the work schedule. You didn’t even work yesterday. Don’t try to blame me for the fact that satisfying your libido is obviously more important to you than the safety of your child.

Bobbie: (slaps him hard across the face) How dare you! My child means everything to me.

Mac: Mr. Cassadine, I think it would be best if you left.

Stefan(rubs his stinging cheek)Fine, I have work to do in my office, anyway.

SONNY’S BEDROOM, THE PENTHOUSE:

Carly(glares at Sonny as she watches him whistle while he gets dressed)You needn’t be so pleased with yourself.

Sonny: What’s the matter, Carly, don’t like it when the tables get turned on you. You’re not the only one who can use sex as a weapon. And just think how good the sex will be when we can finally be together. When are you going to get that unlike all the previous men you’ve been with, you can’t handle me. What did you think I was going to do? Stand there like a stick while you did what you pleased with me?

Carly: I didn’t expect you to seduce me to the point where I’m begging you to take me and have you leave me high-and-dry. There are other ways you could have finished what you started.

Sonny: The same could be said of you.

Carly: Well, just know I will have my revenge. Unlike all the previous women you’ve been with, you can’t handle me, either. And you’re going to find that out as soon as we get to the coffee warehouse. Did you used to take showers with Lily when the two of you were married.

Sonny: No, but Brenda and I used to do it all the time. Until you, she’s the only one I’ve ever done that with. Why do you ask?

Carly: I was kind of hoping it was something you’d never done with another other woman before me. What about taking a bath with a woman. Have you ever done that before?

Sonny: I don’t like taking baths. I only take showers. The last time I took a bath was when I was seven or eight years old.

Carly(smiled)Then I take that as a no. Good!

Sonny: Why? I’m almost afraid to ask.

Carly: Because tonight you and I are going to take a bubble bath together and it‘s going to be the most incredibly erotic experience you‘ve ever experienced before.

Sonny: I’m not taking a bubble bath with or without you.

Carly: Oh yes you are. And once you do, you’ll never want to take a shower again.

Sonny: Isn’t that what you said about brunettes.

Carly: It’s the exact same thing. Sonny, a shower’s fine for a quickie, but a bath...In a bath you can lay back and relax as the water caresses your skin like a lover’s touch. (she laid back on the bed and caressed her body)

Sonny(was becoming aroused again)I’ve never liked taking baths.

Carly: Trust me, Sonny, with me you’re going to love it.

Sonny: There’s just one problem with that. This penthouse doesn’t have a bath tub.

Carly(smiled)It will by tonight.
