This story takes place four years in the future.Brenda went away with Jax never to be heard from again.Sonny
Mike-I know. Julia-I mean after all this time she couldn't find five or ten spare minutes to write one of us a Lois-Well maybe she's afraid we'll be mad at her for leaving. Robin-Brenda....afraid??? Lois-I don't know.Maybe??? Mike-I bet he's got her brainwashed. Lois-Jax??? Robin-Never,Jax is so sweet and caring.....
Brenda is tied down to a chair in a large living room in that has been her living area for the last 4
Brenda-I...I know but... Jax-(Screams)But what???? Brenda cringes as if she were slapped across the face. Brenda-I just wanted to see the country side. Jax-You were trying to ecscape.Admit it. Brenda-No really I was just... Jax raises his hand and slaps her across the face.Brenda rubs the red welt appearing under her Jax-After all I've done for you this is what I get in return. Brenda-(crying)Please let me go. Jax-Now why would I do that??? Brenda spits in his face. Brenda-I hate you and I hate this place!!!! Jax-You bitch.That's it. He takes a few steps toward her. Jax-I'm taking you to the attic.I'm sure you'll find the mice and spiders to your liking. He takes a knife and cuts the ropes.Brenda tries to get away but he grabs her arm. Brenda-Ouch that hurts. Jax-I wouldn't want you to get away now would I????Come with me to your room.Then we'll find some suitable Brenda-You'll pay for this.Someone will find me.You'll see. Jax laughs wickidly Jax-They all think you left to marry me.No one cares where you are.They're all probably mad at you for leaving and not Brenda-I hate you. Jax-My dear it's been four long years.I doubt anyone still cares. Back in PC at Lukes Club.... Luke-Hey Corinthos what's shakin??? Sonny barley looks up from the papers he's reading. Sonny-Nothin much you??? Luke-Well I'm doin pretty good now that the Black Bat has picked up and moved back to Greece. Sonny-(emotionless)That's great. Luke-Come on Corinthos what's bothering you??? Sonny-Can we talk in the back room.There's a few things I need to ask you. Luke-Sure. At a table in the back... Lois-Look at him.He look terrible. Robin-He probably feels that way too,today being the anniversary and all. Julia-Yeah I really feel bad for him.I never really liked him before but he's starting to grow on Lois and Robin laugh. Lois-I wish Bren would call or write or somethin. Robin-Me too,me too. Back in Vienna.... Brenda-Eeeeew this place is gross.But at least I'm not tied up. The attic was the size of a large bedroom.It was dark with only a small gas lamp for lighting.There Brenda sat down on the bed and sighed. Brenda-Home sweet home. She got up when she noticed the mirror in the corner.She looked at herself and gasped at the sight. Brenda-This dress is so ugly.It's like from the 1800's or something. She was wearing a black dress that went down to her ankles.Jax had also insisted she wear corsets and old fashioned black Brenda-I hate these corsets or whatever they're called.They're like a cage.And these boots are so old and uncompfertable.I think Brenda walks over to the toy chest and lifts the lid.Inside there is a cream colored old-fashioned ball gown.Brenda gasps at the beauty.The dress is Brenda-Now this is more like it. She slips out of the black dress and slides into the glittering gown.The corsets act like a wonderbra and the dress looks fabulous Brenda observes herself in the mirror. Brenda-Wow.Now I'm ready to be rescued. The thought makes her sit down on the bed and cry. Back at Lukes... Sonny-Something is going on. Luke-Really???Care to tell??? Sonny-This is serious.I can feel her. Luke thinks for a moment. Luke-Brenda??? Sonny-Yeah she's out there,and I'm going to find her. Luke-I think you lost it brother.She left to be with Candyboy.I know it hurts but it's the truth. Sonny-No you're wrong.Today I felt pain under my left eye,and I couldn't figure it out.Then I remembered whenever Brenda feels pain Luke thinks for a moment. Luke-Alright I'm in. Sonny-Great. In Vienna... Brenda is on her bed sobbing. Brenda-Sonny.Please help me.
Sonny-He's got houses around the world.They could be in Australia,Alaska or some private Luke-Alright calm down.I'll send out a trace on both of them. Sonny pauses for a moment and thinks. Sonny-I got it!!!!! Luke-What,what??? Sonny-He kidnapped her!!!!! Luke-Jax????I don't know. Sonny-Luke it fits in with all the info we got.The hasty departure... Luke interupts him Luke-And I always thought it was weird the way Brenda never said goodbye.Even to Lois. Sonny-I wish I thought of this sooner. Luke-Hey man don't worry we'll find them. Sonny-Thanks,I really appreciate what you're doing. Luke-No problem.I gotta a club to run,and there's a table full of woman in the back that would like They both smile and exit the back room.Sonny walks over to where Lois,Robin,and Julia are sitting. Sonny-Hello Ladies. Lois-Hey Corinthos your in a good mood tonight. Sonny-That's right.I can't help it.I'm surrounded by beautiful woman. Robin-Well I'm glad. Julia-Me too. Lois-Wanna join us???? Sonny-No I can't stay I have some calls to make at home. Lois-Okay.We'll see ya later. Robin-Bye Julia-Bye. Sonny-See ya. Sonny leaves the club and returns to his apartment.Since Brenda left he couldn't stand to live in the ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile in Vienna....... Knock...Knock Brenda-What??? The Cook-It's me Miss Barrett. Brenda gets up and fluffs out her dress. Brenda-Come in. The cook unlocks the door and walks in bringing a tray full of foods. The Cook-Mr.Jax asked me to bring up your dinner. Brenda looks at her and decides the kind old woman could be of help to her. Brenda-What he's doing is illegal you know.He can't keep me up here forever. The Cook closes the door and steps towards Brenda. The Cook-Mr.Jax is away right now on buisness.The butler,you and I are the only people here right now.All the other maids Brenda-What are you saying??? The Cook-Do you know any phone numbers of your family members??? Brenda jumped up and gave Mary the cook a big hug. Brenda-Thank you so much. Mary-Shhhhh,the butler's a suspicious sort.Follow me child. They crept down the hall to what looked like a study.Mary closed the doors and for the first time in a long time *****Flashback***** Sonny-If you're ever in trouble my beeper number is 555-3030. *****Reality***** Brenda picked up the phone and dialed Sonny's beeper number. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Port Charles..... Beep,Beep,Beep......Beep,Beep,Beep Sonny-Who the hell is beeping me at 5 in the morning???? He walks over to his dresser and picks up his beeper. Sonny-458-598-0035 who's number is that????The only people I gave this number to are Robin,Luke,Lois,Mike,and....Brenda. He ran over to the phone and dialled the strange number. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brenda heard the phone ring and her heart skipped a beat.She could only hope it would be him. Brenda-Hello??? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Sonny heard her voice he nearly melted.He had to remind himself to talk. Sonny-Brenda is that you??? Brenda-Sonny??? Tears were streaming down her face and a few were welling up in his eyes. Sonny-Brenda are you okay??? Brenda-No. Sonny can tell she's crying so he tries to get all he can out of her before she has to go. Sonny-Alright where are you???? Brenda immediatley stops crying knowing her future may depend on this phone call. Brenda-I'm in Vienna,Austria. Sonny-Do you know the adress??? Brenda-Yes it's 166 Walnut(sorry for the cheesy street name but I don't know anything else.) Sonny-Is Jax there??? Brenda-No he's on buisness.Are you coming out here???? Sonny-ASAP. Brenda-Sonny wait please be careful and take someone with you. Sonny-I will......I love you. Brenda smiles. Brenda-I love you too,goodebye. Sonny-See ya in about a day. They hang up and Sonny immediatley dials Luke's house. Luke-(Sleepily)Yeah??Spencer here. Sonny-It's me.Are you ready for an adventure???
Two hours later Sonny and Luke were on a plane headed to Vienna,Austria.
Brenda is wandering nervously around her room.She wonders when Sonny will be coming and if Jax will find out that Sonny Vienna National Airport... Luke-Where to now Corinthos??? Sonny-I got the adress in my pocket. Luke-I'll go get a taxi or whatever they're called here. Luke got them a cab and they headed to the outskirts of Vienna. Back in Port Charles.... Robin-Lois have you seen Sonny today??? Lois-No,why what's up??? Robin-I just came from the club and he wasn't there. Lois-That's strange.He hasn't takin a day off since Brenda left. Robin-Yeah and Luke wasn't there either. Lois-Somethings up.I don't like this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sonny and Luke arrive in front of a set of unlocked massive iron gates.They could see the mansion Luke-This must be it.How do you wanna do this??? Sonny-Let's go through that woods over there it looks like it leads to the back of the house. Luke-Good thinking. They work their way through the dense forest and find themselves at the back door,or the kitchen door in the old days.Sonny rattles Luke-We're in. Sonny-Luke don't you think it would be a good idea to put out your cigar??? Luke-Oh yeah. He takes another puff and stomps on the cigar. Luke-Let's go. They walk in the house and find the kitchen deserted. Sonny-Hey here are the back stairs.Let's take these. They walk up the stairs and find themsselves in the servants quarters.They fly into a bedroom when they heard footsteps in the hall. Luke-Who was that??? Sonny-I don't know.Come on let's hide in the closet. Just as they shut the door to the closet some one entered the room. Mary-Who's there??? She looks around the room. Mary-Must be mice. In the closet... Sonny-She's gone.Luke I gotta get out of here. Luke-Oh yeah your clauster-whatever. Sonny knocks his head on something hard. Sonny-Wait a minute what's this??? He pushes back some clothes and boxes and uncovers a flight of stairs. Sonny-They must lead to the attic.Let's go up there.We might find some clues. They reach the top of the stairs and find a door.Sonny fumbles with the knob onl to find it locked. Brenda-Who's there???? Sonny-Brenda??? Brenda-Sonny is that you??? Sonny-Yeah don't worry I'll get you outta there. Brenda-Hurry Jax will be back tonight and we gotta get outta here. Sonny takes a few steps back and knocks the door down. Brenda rushes out towards him and they embrace. Luke-Uhhh I think we should get out of here. Brenda-Hi Luke. Luke-Hey long time no see beautiful. Sonny-Let's leave the same way we came.No one ever seems to be around. The three of them take the same path as Luke and Sonny took.Just as they reached the end of the forest a car was pulling into Brenda-That's Jax.He's back sooner then I expected.If he sees I'm gone we'll never make it out of the country alive. Sonny-Yeah and you won't make it too far in that dress and those shoes. Luke-You can borrow the extra pair of clothes I brought but the pants will be a little loose. Brenda laughs. Brenda-That's okay,anything to get me out of these things.You know he made me wear corsets!!! Sonny-He's more screwed up then I thought.Who knows what he's capable of. Luke-See those mountains over there??? Brenda-Yeah what about them. Luke and Sonny both smile. Sonny-We're campin out tonight. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luke-It'll be fun,we can toast marshmellows and tell scary stories!!! Brenda smiles. Brenda-Right.Anything's better than this place. Sonny-Looks like Jax is going in the house.Now would be a good time to leave. Luke-Alright on three we'll run down the driveway and out the gates. Sonny-1...2...3 go All three ran out down the driveway and made it safely without being seen.Luke and Sonny hopped Brenda-Uhhh Luke,now would be a good time for that extra outfit!!!!! Luke-Can you make it to that forest over there??? Brenda-I think so.It's really cold though. Sonny-We're almost there,don't look back. They reached the forest and Luke and Sonny sat down on some rocks and turned away from where Brenda was standing. Brenda-No peeking. Luke-Hey I'm a married man!!!!! They all laugh.Brenda finds a tree to hide behind and goes to work.She unbuttons the dress and hides it behind a rock.Then she tries to take off the corsets,but can't seem to get them off. Brenda-Ouch....ooooh. Sonny-You okay??? Brenda-No can you come here??? Sonny-Sure what about Luke??? Brenda-No just you. Sonny turns around and walks over to the tree Brenda is behind.Sonny stares at her for a minute but comes Brenda-Can you undo this for me??? Sonny-Uhhh sure.What is this thing a cage??? Brenda laughs. Brenda-Hurry though,the metal wires are digging into my back!!! Sonny slowly undos the strings and the corsets fall to the floor.Brenda wraps her arms around her bare body and Brenda-You can go now. Sonny-Oh yeah if you need me I'll be over there. Brenda-Thanks. Brenda quickly dresses and rushes over to them. Brenda-Okay let's go.I'm dying to get outta here!!! Luke-Alright we're outta here. They walk for the next four hours stopping only for water.They reach the mountains and find an abandonned cabin Luke-Are you going to be okay???We gotta a long walk tomorrow!!! Brenda-Yeah I'll be fine. Sonny-Alright well you take the bed then.Luke and me will guard the door. Brenda-No you take it I'm not even tired. Luke-You're the girl we insist. Brenda acts defiant as usual. Brenda-Well then I guess the bed is wasted because I can't sleep.eITHER OF YOU CAN HAVE IT. Sonny-Luke you take it. Luke-Are you sure??? Brenda-Positive. Luke-You're the brains of this operation you need the rest. Sonny-Take it. Luke-Alright. Luke goes and shuts the door to the bedroom leaving only Sonny and Brenda in the deserted Brenda-So. Sonny-So.What's new with you??? Brenda laughs. Brenda-How's Lois and Robin and Julia??? Sonny-They're good.Just a little mad that you didn't write.But now we no why. Brenda-Yeah I missed them so much. Sonny-Just them?? Brenda-Noooo...I missed you too. Sonny-Why does this always happen to us??? Brenda-It's fate.And it was fate that brought you here.You know what?? Sonny-What?? Brenda-You're my hero. Sonny-All in a days work my dear. They both laugh softly. Sonny-I thought I lost you forever. Brenda touches his cheek with her hands. Brenda-You'll never lose me.I'll always be right here. She takes his hand in her's and places it on his heart.Tears stream down her face and one forms in the corner Sonny-I love you. Brenda-I love you too.Always. Sonny-And forever.
Ch.5
Sonny-What's wrong??? Brenda-Nothing.It's just been so long.I don't know where we stand. Sonny-We belong together.And we will be together.If that's what you want of course. Brenda smiles warmly at him. Brenda-Of course that's what I want.That's all I need. Sonny takes Brenda's head in his hands and kisses her with such force that it was almost painful for Brenda-Whoa. Sonny-Just making up for lost time. Brenda-Why did you stop??? Sonny looks at her funny and she laughs.Brenda wraps her arms around Sonny and kisses him softly.He kisses her Brenda-Do you want to.... Sonny knew what she was hinting at and smiled. Sonny-Are you ready??? Brenda-It's been 4 long,dry years.If I have to wait another minute I think I'll die!!!! Sonny-You're sure??? As an answer Brenda wraps her legs around his waist and kisses him with passion.He kisses her back and picks her up.He takes Sonny-Not the most romantic place.You know we could always wait till we get back to Port Charles. Brenda-I'm beginning to get the impression that your not into this. Sonny-Oooooh no.I'm into it,I just want to make this special. Brenda-You're right.We should wait until we can make love in a nice soft bed. Sonny laughs. Sonny-I'm glad you feel that way.I want the next time we're together to be perfect. Brenda-Me too.But that doesn't mean we can't still do other things. She smiled seductivley. Sonny-Like what??? Brenda-Like this... She hops off the table and kisses him gently. Brenda-Would you mind just holding me??? Sonny-I'd be honored. He sat down on the hard ground and Brenda sat on his lap.He put his arms around her Brenda-I feel so safe with you. Sonny-I'm glad.You know I'll never leave you. Brenda-I know. Back at the Mansion.... Jax crept slowly up the stairs leading to the dark attic.He opened the door with the key Jax-Brender I've got a surprise for you.Brender???? Once he noticed she was missing he ran down to the kitchen and questioned all the staff.No one Jax-Dammit. He whipped out his cell phone and called an associate. Jax-Get some men over at the airport.You know what she looks like.Also be on the lookout for a short dark He hung up and looked around the room. Jax-Well Brenda,I said the only way you would get out of this country was in a casket and I meant it.
Man-Sorry boss it's been dry,but I promise to call you immediatley if we see anything. Jax-Keep up the good work. Jax hung up the phone and scowled. At the cabin.... Luke-Alright kids let's get outta here. Brenda-I'm with you.What a grand entrance I'll make looking like this when we get She sighs happily and Sonny and Luke smile. They walk nearly all day to the airport and when they make it to the doors Luke stops them from Luke-Wait.Jax knows your gone by now.The place is probably swarming with his men.We gotta get disguises or something. Sonny-Good thinking,maybe some wigs and new clothes.Nothing flashy though,don't want to draw extra Brenda-I know there's a shop on the next street that sells wigs,and we could go to a shop on the next street that sells mens and Sonny-Great lead the way. They walk to the desired shops and buy Brenda a red wig that's cut in a bob style with bangs.They could hardly tell that it was her unless Brenda-Port Charles here we come!!!! Back in PC.... Lois-I'm going nuts.Who knows what they're up to. Laura-Calm down.I'm sure they're ok. Lois-You're right,it's just I hate not knowing. Laura-Luke wouldn't tell me anything,only that we were all in for a big surpise if every thing Lois-They're grown men I guess they can be trusted. Laura-Right. They both smiled tensly knowing everything was probably going to be turned upside down when they returned.Little
Sonny-Uhh we'd like three tickets to NYC please. Lady-Coach or First class??? Sonny-First Class. Lady-Smoking or non??? Sonny-Non Lady-Okay,we have a flight leaving in a half an hour for NYC.Would that be okay??? Sonny-Perfect. Sonny handed her his credit card,and in a half an hour they were headed towards NYC without even Brenda-That was really fun!!! Luke-Risk-taking is always fun when you don't die. Sonny-We're lucky to get out alive. Brenda,unknown by Luke,took Sonny's hand in hers and squeezed it.He looked at her and she smiled at him. Sonny-We're here. Brenda-What???? Luke-Quick wasn't it??? Brenda-Ooooh Lois and Robin are gonna be surprised. Luke-Why don't we take you to the club and call them and tell em to come over.Then with that Brenda laughed. Brenda-That would be fun. Sonny-Alright let's go then. All three headed over to Luke's Club and Brenda hid out in the back talking with Sonny and gosipping over the events Laura-Luke,what's going on??? Luke smiled slyly. Luke-You'll see tonight.Let's just say that after tonight Port Charles will never be the same again!!! After making that puzzling statement to Laura, Luke proceded to call everyone important to Brenda that he knew of to Lukes that night for ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lois-I'm kinda excited,you never know what'll happen with those two. Robin-I know,Luke told me everyone was invited to the club for a private party.Now what's put him in such a good mood???

Dara-Hey I'm not missing this. Justus-Oh you can count on me to be there. Mac-Then I guess I'll go.I'm not too crazy about either of them,but this seems pretty important to Luke.

Edward-Well that's one place where you won't see me. Lila-Oh yes dear,we're all going,and that means you. Alan-I for one am interested in the meaning of that trip.

Mike-He seemed really excited on the phone. Mary-Well tonight will be a treat,you haven't seen Sonny in a while and we need a night out.

Brenda-Until a few days ago I was locked in an attic in Vienna,Austria.Then Luke and Sonny came For the rest of the party everyone took their turn talking to Brenda and catching up for lost After everyone had left Brenda finally realized something that was overlooked earlier. Ch.8
Sonny-Oh I've had that figured out for at least a day and a half. Brenda-Well....?? Sonny-You're staying with me. Brenda smiles sexily Brenda-I think that's a great idea. Sonny-Well then let's blow this joint.(He yells)Luke we're outta here Luke comes out of the back room. Luke-I'll see you tomorrow then right?? Sonny-Yeah. Brenda-Bye Luke and thanks for the party. Luke-My pleasure Sweetheart. Brenda and Sonny exited the Club and drove to Sonny's newly boughten skyrise apartment. Brenda-Why did you move...if you don't mind me asking.

Sonny-I missed you,and I couldn't stand being there without you next to me.So I bought this Brenda looks at him sexily. Brenda-We could make some!!! Sonny smiles his famous dimpled grin. Sonny-Now??? Brenda-No next year!!!Of course now. She walks over to him and he pulls her in for a long kiss.Brenda drops her purse on the floor and wraps
Brenda and Sonny are sleeping peacefully in each other's arms when the doorbell rings and disturbs their soft Brenda-Who could that be?? Sonny rolls over on top of her and smiles down at her. Sonny-I don't know and I don't care!! Brenda smiles softly. Brenda-What if it's someone important?? Sonny-They can wait. Brenda-So can this. Sonny-Alright...alright.But don't go anywhere. Brenda-I won't. She covers herself up and Sonny puts on a pair of black silk boxers and the matching Lois-Sonny....would you happen to know where Brenda is???No one has heard or seen her since Sonny-Don't worry she's fine. Lois-Then you know where she is?? Brenda-I'm right here,where I belong. Brnda was standing behind Sonny in one of his shirts. Lois-Oh did I interupt something?? Brenda-Actually...

Lois-Perfect!!I'm so glad I got my best girlfriend back. Brenda-And I'm glad to be back. Lois-See ya,and you too Corinthos. Sonny-Bye Lois. Brenda-Bye. Brenda shut the door and turned to face Sonny. Brenda-Now where were we?? Sonny-I think I was just about to do this. He takes her in his arms and kisses her softly at first and build it with passion as each second goes Brenda-What do you wanna do today??? Sonny-You know what I want to do. Brenda-Sonny come on,be serious!!! Sonny-I am. Brenda-We have forever to do that.Besides I meeting Lois tonight remember?? Sonny-Do you really want to know?? Brenda-Yeah.

Sonny-Your wish is my command. Brenda-Well in that case...since it's only 12:00 and I don't got to be at the gatehouse till six I think we have alot of time Sonny grabs her by the waist and pulls her in. Sonny-Like what?? Brenda-I don't know,we could take a bath... Sonny-I'll race you there. Brenda laughs and pushes Sonny down in a mad race to the hot tub. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning....
Sonny-How long were you watching me?? Brenda-Not long,you know,you look like an angel when you're asleep. Sonny-You look like that every time I see you. Brenda smiles. Brenda-I love you so much. Sonny-I love you too. Brenda sighs and lays back on her pillow. Brenda-I never want to leave this room,or bed for that matter. Sonny-Who says we have to?? Brenda laughs softly. Brenda-What would people think??? Sonny-Who cares?? Brenda smiles and gets up off the bed.She walks towards the bathroom with a sheet wrapped around her Sonny-This must be my luckey day. Brenda-Luck has nothing to do with it. Sonny slides off his robe and hops in.The water is so hot it almost burns,but it's also relaxing for both of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At The Outback... Lois,Julia and Robin are talking over breakfast in a corner table at the back. Lois-I normally don't gossip,especially about one of my best friends but... Robin-But what?? Lois-Well guess who Brenda's staying with?? Julia-Sonny everyone knows that!! Lois-But I didn't tell you the best part. Robin-Ooooh what?? Lois-I think they're back together. Robin-Ahhhh!!!

Lois-I think it's great. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sonny-You're gonna turn heads in that outfit. Brenda-Don't worry,their attention is unwanted.I dress sexy for you. Sonny-You don't need to dress sexy to turn me on.All you gotta do is look at me. Brenda smiles Brenda-Maybe we shouldn't have gotten dressed!!! Sonny-That would have been fine with me. Brenda-What's up for today??? Sonny-Well I'm not needed at Lukes,I finished the books last night,so I'm free. Brenda-Then let's do something,just the two of us. Sonny-Sounds good to me. Brenda-We could take a walk on that boardwalk and stop at all those cute little shops. Sonny-Sounds good. They left for the east west end of town to where the new boardwalk was located.They walked around for Sonny-Let's buy a new place. Brenda-A new place?? Sonny-Yeah,something bigger,maybe on the outskirts of town. Brenda-Are you serious??? Sonny-Yeah,why,you don't think it's a good idea?? Brenda-No it's great,I just didn't think you would want to. Sonny-Of course I do,I love you and...and...I want you to marry me. He screeched the car to a halt on the deserted road. Sonny-Brenda Barrett I'm asking you to marry me. Brenda just sat their for awhile not believing his words.When she finally came back to her senses she Sonny-Yes?? Brenda-Yes of course I will. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. It's Been So Long Ch.10
Sonny-Hey Bren come here. Brenda walks out of the bathroom. Brenda-What's up?? Sonny-Look who's on TV. Brenda looked and saw herself and Sonny kissing at the Boardwalk. Brenda-What the hell?? Sonny-Listen. He turned up the volume so they could here. Newslady-Port Charles' most eligable bachelor is taken ladies.One of our reporters caught the two in this tender embrace Sonny flipped off the TV. Brenda-Wow,we didn't even notice them. Sonny-I don't mind it,as long as it doesn't go too far. Brenda-Either do I.But why should the public be treated to our make-out sessions?? Sonny-I hardly think we ever "make out" Brenda-What do you call thirty kisses in a row then??? Sonny-Let them watch.I don't care. Brenda-You know what??Either do I.
