The Brownstone: Jax:Why would you think Bobbie should tell you if my brother asked her to marry her or not? You two aren't still married. Stefan:Why indeed. Bobbie:Why don't we have dessert and coffee in the living room. Brenda:Bobbie, I think Jax and I will have to skip that. I really want to go and check on Robin. Find out why she wasn't here, tonight. Bobbie:Of course, I'll just see you to the door. Brenda:Oh, that won't be necessary. You just go and get the dessert and coffee. Jax and I can see ourselves out. Stefan:I'll help you, Barbara.(Bobbie and Stefan head into the kitchen) Brenda:Jax, darling, could you go and get our coats while I thank Bobbie for dinner. Jax:Of course. Brenda(grabs Sonny's arm as he's about to follow Nik, Carly and Kat into the living room)Baby, I know you're mad, but please meet me at the docks at midnight. We really need to talk. The Kitchen: Stefan(corners Bobbie)Barbara, when I arrived here, tonight, you told me Mr. Jacks wouldn't be joining us. You never mentioned he'd left town. Why? Bobbie:So you wouldn't be thinking what you're thinking now. That since Jerry's gone, I'll be hopping right in bed with you. Stefan;Won't you? Bobbie:No, I won't. Stefan:You know you want me, Barbara, as I want you. Bobbie:I also want strawberries eventhough they give me a rash. That doesn't mean I'm going to have them. Stefan:Why did you turn down Mr. Jacks marriage proposal. It was because of me, wasn't it? Bobbie:You might say that. Being married to you cured me of even wanting to be married, again.(with that she heads to the living room with the dessert. Stefan follows after her with the coffee) The Living Room: Kat(corners Carly)Your mother put you up to saying all those sleazy things you said to Nikolas and I when we arrived, didn't she? Carly:You mean all those true sleazy things I said. I do believe you've actually out-sleazed even me in the man department. Kat:Oh, no, Carly, dear, you still hold the title as the queen of sleaze. Carly:I don't know about that, Katherine. Just think about it. First, you were vamping Cassadine from your wheelchair when he was married to my mother. Then you moved on to his nephew. Sure, it was sleazy of me to sleep with my mother's husband, but at least Tony wasn't a virgin. Doing it with a nephew and his uncle is pretty damned sleazy, don't you think. Kat:Stefan and Nikolas aren't even related. Carly:But you didn't know that at the time, did you? Kat:Well, at least I didn't sleep with them both at the same time the way you did with Tony and AJ Quartermaine. Nor did I get pregnant and not know who the father was. Carly:Can you even still get pregnant or have you already gone through menopause. Kat:Nice try, Carly, but you're still the queen of that cesspool you reside in. You give your mommy dearest a little message for me, won't you. You tell her I'm going to repay her in full for tonight. Oh, look, here she comes now. The Basement: Tony(with his ear to the vent)Hey, people, it's time for you to go home. I've got big plans for Bobbie, tonight and you're keeping me from them.(he begins to pace the floor in agitation)Up until now I've just been toying with you, Bobbie, but, tonight, will be a different matter if these people would only go home. Sonny's Penthouse: Carly(place two Viagra pills in an envelope and proceeds to crush them into dust)I suppose you're with her, now, Sonny. Brenda's the appointment you had to keep when you seen me home, alone, in the car. Obviously, little Brender wants to explain why she's stringing along both you(she suddenly chuckles)and what is that name you call Jax? Oh, yes, Candyboy. Only I know Sonny better than she does and I know she's just wasting her breath. No matter what she says, it isn't going to work. And when Sonny comes home fed up with little Miss Head and Shoulders, I'll be waiting here to soothe and comfort him. Me(she holds up the envelope)and my little friends, here. The Docks: Brenda(as Sonny arrives)I wasn't sure that you'd come. Sonny:How did you explain to Jax about being out so late without him. I'm sure you didn't tell him the truth. Brenda:I told him I was spending the night with Robin. That she and Jason were having problems and that she needed me. I could see you were shocked when Jax announced we were getting married. Sonny:You might say that considering you told me you realized you and Jax don't belong together. Brenda:Sonny, I didn't lie to you. I never said anything to you about leaving Jax. Sonny:We made love. Didn't it mean anything to you. Brenda:It meant everything to me. Sonny;Yet, you're still with Jax. Brenda:And you're still with Carly. Sonny:I can't just leave Carly. I made promises to her before I knew you were alive. And if you know anything about me you know once I give a promise I don't break it. Brenda:Well, bofore I had my accident I promised Jax I'd marry him. Sonny:It's not the same and you know it. I've been honest with Carly. She knows you and I may be getting back together, but Jax doesn't. You're leading him on. What happened to that nice little speech you gave me about if you love somebody set them free. Brenda:I meant every word I said to you. I'm willing to wait for you to come back to me for the rest of my life. Sonny:While planning to marry another man? You really think I'm stupid, don't you? Do you really think I can't see you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth. On one hand you're saying you're willing to give me all the time I need to decide to come back to you or not, but on the other hand by agreeing to marry Jax you're giving me a deadline to either come back to you or lose you, forever. You're trying to manipulate me. Brenda:Look, Sonny, I gave you the chance to make the right choice once before when you had the choice to run away with me or marry Lily and you chose Lily. So until I know for sure that you're coming back to me, I'm not giving up Jax. I'm not going to take the risk of winding up alone, again. Sonny:So until I make my choice you intend to start planning a wedding to Jax and climb in bed with him every night, is that what you're saying to me. Brenda:That's exactly what I'm saying. Sonny:God, I'm an idiot. After you and I made love, I moved into Stone's old bedroom and told Carly until I made my choice there'd be nothing between us. You see, after we made love in the boathouse, I didn't think it would be fair to you to continue sleeping with Carly. I felt like I'd be betraying you. But since you're continuing to sleep with Jax, I guess there's no reason I shouldn't continue to be with Carly, is there.(we that he storms off) Brenda(stomps her foot in anger)Damn you, Jason. This is all your fault. Sonny return's Thursday and the Senate hearings are supposed to start the same day. Will we actually get to see something we want to see, Sonny, opposed to something we don't want to see, the Senate hearings? ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
