Living a Dream

Carly Benson and Brenda Barrett walk down the steps of Yankee Stadium on a warm July day. The Yankees are playing the San Francisco Giants. They check their tickets and find that their seats are right behind home plate.

They’ve arrived about an hour or so early to watch the guys warm-up. Derek Jeter was catching the ball with Bernie Williams while pitcher, Roger Clemens warms up with catcher, Sonny Corinthos.

C: “Take a look at Corinthos’ ass, hot and tight, just like I like it.”

B: “Yeah, well did you mention that to Jason?”

C: “You kidding? Then he’d never let me come to these games. He thinks I actually like the sport.”

B: “I happen to enjoy the game. The guys are just an added bonus.”

C: “Right.. whatever you say Bren.”

Carly stands up and yells.

C: “Hey Corinthos, ya got a hot ass on ya.”

Sonny turns around and looks at them. He smiles and then winks. Carly laughs then turns to Brenda.

C: “See they like it.”

B: “Oh yeah just builds up their ego.”

Clements waves off Sonny and walks over to the dug out continuing to stretch his arm. Sonny takes off his mask and walks over to where the girls are. He dimples as he looks up at them.

S: “So you’re an ass girl huh?”

C: “Oh you betcha baby.”

S: “Well you gonna tell me your name or what?”

C: “The name’s Carly.”

S: “Well what about your friend here?” He looks over at Brenda and his dimples deepen. “What’s your name beautiful?”

B: “I’m Brenda, nice to meet you.”

S: “Oh baby, the pleasure is all mine.” He winks and walk over to the bench.

Carly squeezes Brenda’s arms and starts squealing.

C: “Oh my god. He totally digs you.”

B: “Oh yeah right. He’s just major flirt and nothing more.”

C: “Nah I’m tell ya B. He definitely has the hotts for you. I mean he totally ignored me and his focus was all over you.”

B: “The heat must be affecting your brain. Can you just drop it so we can enjoy the game?”

C: “Yeah, I’ll drop it... for now.”

Sonny comes walking back over to them with his hands behind his back.

S: “Hey chicas, long time no see. I got something for ya but you have to pick the right hand.”

Carly reaches out for his right arm.

S: “Ah so you want the right one huh?”

C: “Just let me see what you got.”

Sonny dimples and pulls two Yankee hats from behind his back.

S: “Here, now everyone will know which team you’re rooting for.” He said, as he hands on hat to Carly and reaches up and puts the other hat on Brenda’s head. “Perfect.”

B: “Thanks Sonny.”

He dimples then wink and walks away again.

Carly looks at her hat and can tell it must have been expensive. It looked just like the kind the team would wear.

C: “Can you believe it?”
B: “Car, it’s just a hat.”

Brenda pulls her hat off her head and looks at it. She flips it over and looks on the inside.

B: “What’s this?” There’s a taped piece of paper inside. She pulls it off and reads it.

C: “Well what does it say?”
B: “He wants to go out with me.”

C: “OMG, I told you he dug you. You gotta be crazy if you don’t. He’s even hotter than Jeter.”

B: “I’m gonna wait to see if he hits it or not.”

C: “Hits what?”

B: “A home run.”

C: “What are you talking about?”

B: “Here, read this.” She hands Carly the paper.

C: “God girl...” She smiles. “Well do I get a thank you or what?”

B: “For what?”

C: “Well if it wasn’t for me callin’ him a hotass then he woulda never looked over here and saw ya, so I think I deserve some kinda thanks.”

B: “Thanks, and when I marry him you can be in the wedding okay?”

C: “WHAT??”

B: “Calm down, I just messin’ around. Now lets watch the game.”

They settle back and watch the game. It’s the fifth inning and the Yankees are ahead 2-1, when the announcer comes on.

A: “Now batting for the Yankees, your catcher, # Sonny Corinthos. He’s 2 for 2 so far this afternoon. Let’s see what he can do now. Here’s the pitch... ball 1.”

He regains his stants and prepares for the next pitch. It comes right down the strike zone, Sonny swings, connects and the balls starts flying.

A: “It’s going...going.... HOMERUN!! The Yankees lead 4-2!

Sonny rounds the bases and as he gets to third he looks into the crowd for Brenda. He finds her and smiles. She smiles back at him and nods before waving.

Chapter 2

The Yankees won the game 7-3 and now everyone was starting to leave the stadium. Carly wasn't about to let Brenda just leave without seeing Sonny again so they headed off to where the guys would come out from the locker room.

B: "Okay Car, we came, we didn't see anybody come out, so can we leave now?"

Carly put her hands on her hips and grilled Brenda.

Ca: "Listen, do you know how many figures that guys salary is? We're talking millions! You think me, of all people, is going to let you walk away from that? No shot in hell."

She looked towards the locker room mischievously.

Brenda's eyes widen when she realizes what Carly was suggesting.

B: "Are you kidding? We can't just walk in there? Think of it this way, how many girls do you think he's given this paper to? I mean c'mon."

Carly grabbed Brenda's shoulders.

Ca: "Think, tight buns!" She stared at Brenda. "Are you with me?"

She didn't wait for her answer, and instead grabbed her hand and yanked her into the locker room. A grin spread across her face as she watched all the Yankees, undress, shower and walk around in towels.

Ca: "Well now isn't this a buffet of sorts!"

She winked at Joe Torre as she walked deeper into the locker room, bumping into Andy Pettite.

Ca: "Oh I'm sorry." She smiled as she watched him nodd and walk past her, she slapped his ass as she did so. "I knew it was tight!" She looked up at the ceiling. "Thank you God."

Brenda's hand comes to her mouth in shock.

B: "Oh My God. I can't believe you just did that."

Just then Derek Jeter walked past them wearing only a relatively small white towel. He looked at them and smiled before winking at Brenda.

DJ: "Hey baby."

Brenda shakes her head in disbelief. This was far too abnormal.

B: "Let's just find him and leave okay?"

Carly waved as Derek past them.

Ca: "Are you kidding me? They love us...oh God! Look at the package on Knoblach!" She squinted as she peered at him. "And he isn't wearing a cup either!!"

She looked at Carly and couldn't help but laugh.

B: "You are enjoying this far too much, but I gotta say this is much better than a strip joint."

Ca: "Who's gonna tell him?" She leaned closer to Brenda and pointed towards the showers. "I'd know that ass anywhere..it's hat boy!"

Brenda blushed as they stood there watching him.

B: “So what am I supposed to do, just walk over to him? He's gonna think I'm some nut. I don't wanna act like some crazy fan."

Carly smiled at Brenda as she took her hand and walked with her deeper into the Locker room.

Ca: "Now, Brenda..I'm sure he doesn't think you're the crazy fan. A crazy fan would be someone who took pictures of this scenario...but I forgot my camera home." She pushed her quickly into the shower, that Sonny was in.

Before she can think she's standing in front of Sonny gapping at him. Her eyes scan his body unable to help themselves. Finally they once again meet with his and she smiles slightly.

B: "Uh, hi."

He flashed his dimples as he grabbed a towel from the rack.

S: "I thought we'd do dinner before you got to see me naked." He winked.

B: "Um yeah. That's what I kinda wanted to talk to you about. Did you really mean what you said in that note?" She follows him as he walks to his locker.

B: "Or was that some kind of game you play with all the girls? I want you to you know straight up I'm not just any girl."

Sonny raised his eyebrows intrigued. He turned and leaned against his locker and stared at her.

S: "I meant what I said, I want to take you out." He looked at her for another moment before turning to his locker and pulling at deodorant. "As for playing games, I only play one game, the one that's going to win me a world series ring."

Brenda smiles feeling a whole new attitude come over her.

B: "Good. I'm glad we both understand what's going on. Now, I'm gonna go wait for you outside where we can discuss this further. Don't keep me waiting long." She turns to walk away but looks back at him and smiles saying, "what the hell," and grabbing his towel before walking away.

Sonny grins widely as he watches her walk away swinging the towel.

Steinbrenner: "OUCH! Who the hell let you in here?"

Ca: "OH MY GOD, You the billionaire who own's all these asses! I'm Carly Benson, I'm a fan!"

Brenda's eyes widened and she dragged Carly out of the locker room. Sonny laughed as Clemens looked at him.

Cl: "Who are the broads?"

Sonny pulled his pants up and then slapped Roger's back.

S: "The Brunette's mind, hands off pal."

Brenda pulled Carly over to a bench outside of the locker room.

B: "Now I hope you didn't just get him in trouble. Oh well I guess it doesn't really matter. He wants to take me out, seriously, I can't believe it." She holds out the towel and laughs. "Look I stole his towel."

Carly grinned.

Ca: "Save it, we'll sell it on ebay!"

B: I'm saving this one. If you want one to tell take Ventura's and sell his but this one is not an option."

Ca: "So anyway!" She rolled her eyes but smiled. "When's the date?"

S: "Whenever she's free." He said walking out of the locker room.

Brenda stands up when she sees Sonny approaching them.

B: "Hey handsome, good game. You got lucky with the homer though."

He shoved his hands in his jean pockets and looked at her, raising an eyebrow.

S: "You think so?"

B: "Yeah, definitely. You seen the pitcher, he was completely dried up. You got lucky cause they pulled him right after you took him over the wall."

S: "Can't it be that I'm just good at what I do?" He said as he tilted his head to the side and eyed her sexily.

B: "Oh I definitely say you were good at what you do but.... for that one you got lucky. Changing the subject, when and where are we going out?"

S: "Why don't you leave the details to me, and tell me what day and time is good for you?"

B: "Sounds good. I work during the day but nights are usually free. Here.. (she reaches in her purse and grabs a pen and paper) here's my number and you call me when you're free."

He looked down at the piece of paper and grinned, before holding her wrist. He stepped towards her.

S: "You planning on keeping that towel?"

Her skin sets on fire at his touch.

B: "I don't know maybe, besides would you rather have Carly sell it on ebay?"

Sonny looked over at Carly who was playing with a calculator.

Ca: "From my calculations we can get an easy 250 for that."

Sonny looked back at Brenda, smiling.

S: "Well since you have something of mine, don't you think I should have something of yours?"

Brenda smiles as she laughs.

B: "You want something of mine. I thought I already gave you my phone number, but if you insist on something tangible...."

She turns around so that her back is facing him. Her hand reaches up the back of her shirt and unclasps her bra. She expertly takes it off without removing her shirt. Then turns back to face him, holding out her black lace bra.

B: "That good enough?"

He chuckled and took the bra, imitating her as she did with the towel, he swung it around.

S: "It'll do." He grinned and stepped towards her. He leaned over her shoulder and whispered against her ear. "I'll call you." He blew slightly feeling her shudder against him. He pulled back and winked.

She laughed as he started walking backwards to his car.

B: "You better."

After Sonny turned around and left Brenda sat down next to Carly.

B: "Can you believe all that?"

Ca: "Don't you dare screw it up Brenda, he's worth more than our lives!"

B: "Not only that but he's incredibly sexy, drop dead gorgeous and a huge flirt. Definitely not relationship material but this date has promise of a good time."

Ca: "AH! And he's a YANKEE! Listen he may not be relationship material, but you'll never in your life be able to say you were with a New York Yankee again, so make it worth it! IF you know what I mean." She wiggled her eyebrows.

B: (laughing) "I plan on making it a night to remember. I still can't believe it though." She gasps and looks seriously at Carly. "I have to find something to wear!"

Carly brought her finger to her lip as her eyes widened.

Ca: "You know I have the perfect outfit! C'mon we'll stop at my house before I take you home and you can check it out."

B: "Great girl. Let's go."
