Sonny TRIED to focus on his beautiful fiancée and enjoy supper
with her at the No Name , but he could not help watching his
sister at the bar, and then as the bartender presented her with a
cluster of orchids and gardenias and frangipani from an admirer.
God, she was the very image of his mother! If possible, she was
even more beautiful.
To his horror, Marisol’s admirer turned out to be no other than a
member of one of The Five Families that he carved up mob business with in the Port
Charles metro area: Paulo Trujillo. Sonny’s scowl became darker, and his face contorted
in anger and disgust as he watched his sister and Paulo dance an uninhibited salsa that
riveted the eyes of everyone in the club to the sultry couple. Kate’s eyes watched
her friend, as well as her fiancé, and she KNEW the evening would not end well--- for
any of them. She put a delicate hand over Sonny’s clenched fist, only to have
it shaken off.
For her part, Marisol was blissfully unaware of the effect she was
having on her brother, for she knew nothing of the dealings of the Corinthos and
Trujillo families, nor did she care to, for that matter. Paulo was suave, debonair, and he
could dance better than any man she had ever danced with before; she was busy
enjoying the dance they were sharing. She sighed softly when it was over, and Paulo
kissed her cheek and embraced her, as the other patrons showed their approval by
clapping.
But Marisol’s livid brother was hardly approving, and the instant
the song ended, he was up out of his chair, and moving across the dance floor towards
his sister and Paulo.“You DARE dishonor your family by dancing with my enemy? You SPIT
on my mother’s grave!”, Sonny hissed angrily at his sister thru tightly clenched
teeth.
“My FAMILY?” Marisol replied coolly. “I don’t HAVE a family! You
made that pretty clear earlier,” she added. She then continued, “As for YOUR mother, I would certainly agree
with you on that. She was YOUR mother, Sonny. Not Ric’s, and certainly, certainly,
never mine.”
Sonny’s temper flared at her words, and before he knew it, he
lashed out , and delivered a hard slap to his sister’s left cheek. The force of
his blow was strong enough to knock Marisol backwards and into Paulo’s arms.
Marisol’s eyes filled with tears of pain, but she was silent.
The years of her father’s abuse had taught her well, and she was resilient. Paulo glared
at Sonny, clearly willing to avenge Sonny’s treatment , but Marisol shook her head “no” at
him.
“As you wish,” he told her softly. “For now.”
“Just help me up, and maybe you could take me to my hotel....or
anywhere.....anywhere that isn’t here?” she asked him quietly. He nodded.
Sonny remained rooted where he was, the enormity of what he had
just done consuming him. Kate was beside him, mortified and horrified by his actions.
“Marisol......”, she whispered, looking at her beautiful friend’s face,
which was already swelling and turning blue.
“Isn’t your fault, Kate,” Marisol said. “But I need to go. I’ll
call you tomorrow sometime, and we’ll talk, all right?”
Kate nodded, and didn’t press Marisol further. She watched
Marisol’s retreating form as Paulo escorted her to his limo. Once they were out of sight,
and the chatter among the remaining No Name patrons had died down to hushed whispers, she
turned to her fiancé and said quietly, “No makeup sex happening for us
tonight. And I’d say that the future of our wedding is in serious jeopardy.”
A quick cell phone
call to Maxie, and Kate was gone as well, leaving Sonny to find his way to a darkened
corner of the club with a bottle of Scotch.
