| Chapter 11 "I'm sorry." Courtney said to Sonny as she broke away from the emrbace Sonny had her in and wiped her eyes, angry at herself for crying over him. "I didn't mean to go crazy on ya. it's just..." "I know." He said quietly. "I know what it's like. But I want to here more about you" Quickly changing the subject he took her hands and led her over to the couch. He looked around the room and noticed Carly wasn't in there. "Stay right there." "Johnny?" He asked as he went to the door. "Where's Carly?" "She left about 10 minutes ago." "Did a guard follow her?" "Yes sir, Max is with her." "Good, thank you." He replied closing the door. He wondered why Carly would just leave. but he needed to talk to Courtney and he would go look for Carly later. "So, ah, you wanna tell me about yourself?" "I'm 24. My birthday is January 3. I was born in New York. Lived there with my mother til I was 18 then I left and I went to a college for two years studying fashion and then I've just been hoping from place to place. No sibling, no aunts or uncles or cousins. My life has been pretty uneventful. Unlike yours." She said with a tiny smile. "So Carly tells me you're a "coffee importer"." He showed his dimples as she quoted with her fingers 'coffee importer'. "Yeah I'm just a coffee importer." "So you going to tell me a little about yourself? You got to know the basic info on me, it's your turn." He took a deep breathe. He knew she would want to know about him. But he had to wonder if she would run away after she heard about his life. She obviously knew his real buisness, but he wasn't exactly Mr. Nice Guy. He thought it might be better if she ran away, that way no one else would get hurt because of him. He began to tell her all about him. Everything just came out. Sonny knew that he could trust Courtney, how he didn't know how he knew that, but he just knew. HE told her everything. From His Mother to Deke to how he could involved into the buisness to Lily to Brenda and finally to Carly. When he was through with it all he quickly apologized. "Sorry? For what?" "Ah," He said as he stood up and went towards the bar, he pointed to the drink asking if she wanted any. She shook her head no as she stood up also and made he way towards him. "I just dumped this all on you. If you want to run, by all means go. I wouldn't blame you at all." "No, Sonny it isn't like that. I'm so overjoyed that you would share this all with me. I had some fears that you wouldn't klike me..." SHe said looking at the ground. "Not like you? Your my sister. How could I not?" "You know everything that Carly told me about was true.... Where is Carly?" She asked. "She snuck out before. Where are you staying Courtney?" "At the moment? Carly's but I'm going to see if I can... "No. You're staying here." "What?" "You need a place to stay, I got a room, you're staying." "Yeah Carly said you were a control freak." "She did?" "Yeah, but I bet she meant it in the most loving way." She grinned.
