Lois' Apartment, Bensonhurst: Sonny(lets himself in and finds Lois asleep on the couch. He bends down and kisses her forehead)Wake-up, Sleeping Beauty. Lois(yawns)Sonny, you're here. What time is it? Sonny:About an hour since we talked on the phone. Lois:That didn't take you long. You said you'd have to wait until Carla fell asleep. That's why I decided to take a nap so I'd be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when you arrived. What happened? Sonny:I don't want to talk about it. I don't even want to think about Carla Solieto. What I want you to do is go into your bedroom and put on your prettiest frock then I'm going to taking you out dining and dancing, afterwards we'll return here, sip a glass of bubbly, then make mad, passionate, love all night long. We're going to celebrate our wedding night in style. Lois:I've got a better idea. Why don't we forget about going out and you and I go into my room and slip out of our clothes and make love, then we'll order a pizza from Dino's and sip the champagne I've got chilling on ice, then we'll make love some more. What do you say? Sonny:Cerullo, I like how you think. That way we'll only have to stop making love long enough for me to answer the door to the pizza delivery boy. No wonder I married you.(they race each other into the bedroom)Last one to the bed is it. Bridal Suite, Plaza Hotel: Carla(and Moreno bask in the afterglow)God, Frank, you're the best I've ever had. Moreno:You say that to every man you're with. Carla:But in this instance, it's true. Moreno:You probably only think that because I was your first. Boy, did I ever live in fear of old Gino finding out I'd deflowered his little girl. Carla:But Daddy never did find out, did he? Moreno:No, he never did. You were always good at keeping your mouth shut when you wanted to. It wouldn't have done for your daddy to realize you weren't the little innocent you pretended to be. Talking about you making a fool out of another guy. Are you sure your erstwhile bridegroom won't be walking in on us anytime soon? Carla:You remember Lois Cerullo? Moreno:Big mouth. Even bigger nails. Carla:That's the one. Mikey is spending the evening with her. Moreno:When he could have had you? What a fool. Carla:Well, we already knew that when he gave up all that power for that Brenda Barrett creature. Look, Frank, I didn't just invite you over for a night of great sex. I'll be going to Port Charles, tomorrow, and I need a lay of the land. In particular, I want to know everything you know about Jason Morgan, especially his weaknesses. Moreno:Why? Carla:Because I intend to steal his mob right out from under him. That's the number one reason I agreed to marry Mikey. Mikey is Morgan's bestfriend, and Morgan will never expect his bestfriend's wife to take him down. So tell me everything you know about him. Moreno:Robin Scorpio. Carla:What about her? Moreno:You want to take Morgan down, she's the way to do it. Carla:How? Moreno:I was at the christening of Morgan's son, Michael. Morgan's family show up at the church, uninvited. God, what a pack of animals. They couldn't even show any respect in church. If it had been been I would have taken out an uzi and opened up on the whole lot of them, especially the old man. Anyway, Morgan finally had enough and ordered them to get out, when who should stand up and summon him to the alcove like he'd been a bad little boy but Miss Robin Scorpio. When Morgan and the Scorpio chick returned, he told his family he could stay. Carla:Frank, are you saying what I think you're saying? Moreno:Oh, it only gets better. At the after-christening party at Morgan's penthouse when old man Quartermaine started acting up, again, instead of throwing him out like anyone else would have done, he looked to Miss Scorpio, again, for permission, but she didn't give it so he let the old man stay. Carla:The godfather of the mob is taking orders from some little teeny-bopper? This is great! I thought I'd have to create some sort of situation to undermine Morgan's leadership, but it already exists and it's just waiting there for me to exploit it. Taking over the mob is going to be a piece of cake. Moreno:Glad to be of service, Carla, besides I owe Morgan a big one. It's going to be my pleasure watching you bring him down. Carla:Well, Frank, since you've always enjoyed helping me so much, there's one other thing I need you to do for me. Moreno:Name it. Carla:I need you to find out for me everything you can on Jasper Jacks. Moreno:Why? Carla:It's his fault Tracy Quartermaine came to New York. And if Tracy hadn't come, my father would still be alive. Moreno:You don't know that, Carla. Carla:Oh, I know it, I just can't prove it. Anyway since this Mr. Jacks is to blame for Tracy coming to New York, I intend to repay him for it. Moreno:Is there anyone else you're out to get aside from Morgan and Jacks. Carla:Just Mikey and Lois, but them I'm saving for last. Lois' Bedroom, Bensonhurst: Sonny(and Lois are wrapped in each others arms, spoon-style)So, when will you be heading for Port Charles. Lois:I'm booked on the same flight you and Carla are on. Maybe we all can even sit together. Won't that be fun. I'm going to ask the Q's if I can stay at the mansion so I can use every spare moment I have to work on them about Mother Quartermaine. Sonny:What with you living with the Q's and Carla and I living with Jason and Carly we're going to have a hard time finding a way to be together. Lois:Don't worry, Bensonhurst, we'll think of something. Sonny:You know, Cerullo, we've been avoiding like the plague what we're going to do about Ned and Brenda. They've got to be told about us. Lois:I know, but, Sonny, I'm really dreading that day. Sonny:Me too, but it can't be helped. Brenda knows we're partners in C&C and Ned knows I've been spending a lot of time with Brooke, but they've got to be told were also lovers. Lois:Sonny, I really think we should put this off until we've gotten Carla and Mother Quartermaine out of our lives. Because until we do, we still won't be able to be totally honest with Ned and Brenda. Sonny:Yeah, I know what you mean. We're not just lovers any longer, we're husband and wife and we tell Ned and Brenda about us, we've got to tell them everything, at once. Lois:So, do we have a deal? We'll keep our relationship a secret from Ned and Brenda until we can reveal to everyone that we're married? Sonny:Deal. Jax's Mountain Cabin: V(worriedly watches Jax as he continues to shiver)Aren't you getting warmed-up yet? Jax:I think I've got hypothermia. V:I don't know what else I can do to try and warm you up. Jax:There is one thing, but I don't know if you'd be willing to do it. V:Of course I would. Just tell me what it is and I'll do it. Jax:You could warm me up with your body heat. V:You're not suggesting what I think you are, are you? Jax:If you removed all your clothes and crawled under the covers with me your body could warm mine. See, I told you you wouldn't do it. V:I didn't say I wouldn't do it. How do I know you won't try to take advantage of the situation? Jax:Look at me, V. I'm too sick to try anything. V:Oh, all right. But I'm only doing this to save your life. Don't get any ideas that I'm going to enjoy this(she begins to pull her sweater over her head)Well, don't look. Jax:V, have you forgotten. I've already seen you naked. You don't have anything, that I haven't already seen. V:I was drunk then and I'm not now. Turn around. Jax:If you insist. V(finishes undressing and crawls under the covers with Jax. Jax rolls over and positions himself on top of her)Mr. Jacks, what do you think you're doing? Jax(nuzzles her neck)What do you think? V:But you said you were too sick to try anything. Jax:I lied. Besides, this will warm me up so much quicker. If you don't want me, V, just tell me and I'll stop. I'd never force myself on you if you didn't want me. V:You know that I do. I know it isn't right, but I still want you. Jax:And I want you. That's all that matters. We'll just think about the rest, tomorrow. (he lowers his mouth to hers and they begin to make love) Wyndemere: Mrs. Lansbury:Mr. Cassadine, may I speak to you for a moment. Stefan:What is it, Mrs. Lansbury. Mrs. Lansbury:I've been debating with myself if I should tell you this or not and I think you have a right to know. Stefan:Know what? Mrs. Lansbury:You know the painting you had of Mrs. Spencer that you kept down in the wine cellar? Stefan:Yes, Luke Spencer destroyed it. Mrs. Lansbury:No, Mr. Cassadine, it wasn't Mr. Spencer who destroyed it. It was Miss Bell. I saw her do it. She slashed it with a knife, then she burned it. I hope I've done the right thing by coming to you and telling you this. Stefan:Yes, Mrs. Lansbury, you did the right thing. Now there's something I want you to do for me. I want you to go down to the gatehouse and pack up all of Miss Bell's belongings, immediately. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
