CHAPTER ONE-HUNDRED AND TWO

HELENA‘S YACHT:

Helena(sat watching Sonny on her monitor as he was taking a shower. She took great pleasure in watching him trying to scrub his skin raw)No matter how long you scrub, you won’t rub my touch off of you or undo what you did.

Andreas; Madam, you got what you wanted from Mr. Corinthos. Isn’t it time you left him alone.

Helena: I am done with him. But he is such a scrumptious site without his clothes on. Now it’s time to toy with his wife.

Andreas; Madam, that might not be a very good idea. You saw what she did to AJ Quartermaine without batting an eye or feeling a moment of guilt because he tried to harm her husband. She’s like a lioness when it comes to her husband. If anyone looks at him the wrong way she’ll tear their throats out.

Helena: Don’t worry, Andreas. I can handle the likes of her. (Helena watched as Sonny finally turned off the water and began to dry himself off, before putting on his pajama bottoms and heading into the bedroom.)This should be very interesting. This will be the first time the two of them have been in bed together since what happened. It should be very interesting to see what happens.

Carly(watched as Sonny came towards the bed)What are you doing wearing pajama bottoms. We never wear anything to bed. We always like sleeping with our skin against each other.

Sonny: I just felt like wearing them, tonight. (he climbed into bed and turned his back to her)

Carly(was shocked the way Sonny turned his back to her. He’d never done that as long as they’d been sharing the same bed together. He never even did that the first night they slept together. Was Sonny made because of what happened at the Lamaze class? She still couldn’t get over the way he acted when he had to touch her stomach. Well, she knew how to get around that. She spooned herself against Sonny back, rubbing her breasts against his back, and smiled at his quick intake of breath. Then she slid her hand inside his pajama bottoms and caressed him)

Sonny(pulled her hand out of his pajamas with a quick yank and snapped)Don’t do that!

Carly: Why not? You always love it when I caress you like that.

Sonny: Not, tonight. I’m tired. I want to go to sleep. If you don’t quit pawing me I’m going to go and sleep on the couch.

Carly: Pawing you?

Sonny(turned to her)Look, Carly, I’m just not in the mood, tonight.

Carly: You’re not in the mood? You’re always in the mood. You’re as over-sexed as I am. It’s one of the many ways were just alike. Come on, Sonny, what’s wrong.

Sonny: Nothing’s wrong. Can’t I just not want to have sex for one night without you making a federal case over it?

Carly: No, you can’t. You forget I know you and I know something’s wrong. Tell me what it is?

Sonny: There’s nothing wrong, so would you quit bugging me so I can get some sleep. I’m tired.

Carly: There’s been something wrong with you since you came back to the police station. You forget I have this weird psychic connection with you. I can feel your moods. And I’ve been feeling there was something wrong with you ever since we left the police station, together. What happened when you left me.

Sonny: That’s it. I’m not going to put up with this. I’m tired. I’m going to sleep on the couch. (he saw she was about to follow him)And don’t you follow me downstairs. If you do, I swear I’ll go and sleep down in the limo if that’s what it takes to get away from you.(with that he stormed out of the room)

Helena(smiled very pleased with herself.)Excellent. He’s so eaten up with guilt and self-loathing he won’t even touch his wife. I can’t wait to tell her exactly why he won’t let her touch him. Once I do that, I’ll finally be through with them both.

CASSADINE MAUSOLEUM, GREECE:

Bobbie(and Stefan stood watching as Alexis’ coffin was sealed up in one of the vaults in the mausoleum)Stefan, I think it was very nice of you to have Alexis buried in the family crypt even though she’s not really a Cassadine.

Stefan: Alexis was raised a Cassadine and in her heart she felt like one.

Bobbie; It was also nice of you to bring me along.

Stefan: I couldn’t leave you alone, Barbara, not with that woman masquerading as my mother running loose.

Bobbie: You really think she’ll try to kill me next.

Stefan: I think it’s very possible and I’m not going to take the chance. Now would you mind giving me a moment alone with Alexis for a moment.

Bobbie; Of course not. I’ll be right outside.

Stefan: (caressed the metal plate bearing Alexis’ name)Alexis, I’m really going to miss having you around to talk to. I’ve been pouring all my plots and schemes out to you since we were children. Who will I talk to now. Who will I confide in. I want you to know that woman will pay for what she did to you. I’ll make her pay. This probably wouldn’t surprise you to know, but I find I have feelings for Barbara aside from sexual ones. But I don’t trust her. I can’t forget how obsessed she was with DeLucca and he’s started sniffing around her, again. She claims she’s happy with me, but I can’t just take her word for it. So I’ve decided I have to test Barbara by putting temptation in her path and seeing if she resists it. I really wish you could be here to help me pull this one off. But I’ll be thinking of you while I’m doing it. I love you, Alexis. You were my sister, my cousin, my confidante and my friend. I’ll miss you. Rest in peace. (with that he walked out of the mausoleum and didn’t look back.)
