"Hey Sunshine" she smiled nervously, resisting the urge to kiss him.
"Sunshine, Moonlight?? You guys know each other??" Gia asked
"You could say that" Johnny answred
"So what are you doing here??" Tatiana asked nosey
"I'm guarding my boss, Mr. Corinthos" he told her, afraid of her response "you??"
"supporting my sister" she said pointing to Gia
"Corinthos, Corinthos..why does that name sound so familiar" she wondered outloud while turning to look at her sister.
"Its Micheal, Tati" Gia had purposely not told her that Micheal lived in Port Charles. She knew it wasn't a big city, but her sister had avoided Marcus this long. She knew that her sister had never forgiven him for the hateful things he said to her, and because of the quick change in attitude towards her never really trusted anyone again.
"Johnny we are gonna go ahead and go to the warehouse, the ladies...." Sonny called out to Johnny as he walked into the lobby. He stopped when he saw her. "...Tiana??"
He knew it was her, and all those other times when he saw her it hadn't been his mind playing tricks on him. It was his best friend the only person in the world that understood what it was like to be Micheal Corinthos Jr. and loved him anyway. The person he shoved away when things got to serious and dangerous. The person he hurt most in this world.
"Mikey??" she whispered afraid he'd get mad at her again, for what she didn't know. It didn't take much to piss him off. He moved towards her, she moved behind Johnny.
The hurt was evident on his face, just as evident as the mixture of pain and anger on hers. Everyone just stood there, Johnny and Tatiana never taking thier eyes off Sonny, Sonny never taking his eyes of Tatiana and Gia looking back and forth between them.
After a few minutes Carly came out of Laura's office "Hey sweetie.." she kissed him on the cheek " I thought you were leaving." She couldn't help but notice the tension that was in the lobby.
"Yeah, I'm leaving" he said never taking his eyes off Tatiana.
"Excuse me" Tatiana said as she let go of Johnny's hand and ran to the bathroom. She thought she was over it all, thought the pain had gone. But the sight of him looking all smug just pissed her off all over again.
Gia just stood there looking at him. Johnny got ready to go after her, but remembered he was thier working for Sonny, and didn't move. Sonny saw the slight move that Johnny made and gave him the okay to go after her. Johnny wasted no time in heading in her direction. Carly stood there confused. Sonny could sense that.
"That was Tiana" Sonny told her pointing in the direction she went.
"Oh" was all she said. Sonny stormed over and pushed the elevator button.
"That's it Mikey" Gia started "Just leave, that is what you do best isn't it, well isn't it Mikey??"
"Don't call me that..." Sonny angrily told her "Nobody calls me that anymore"
"Don't tell me it brings up bad memories for you. You know she never wanted anything from you. She was content just bieng your friend. She stood up for you against her family. And what did you do nothing." Gia was fighting hard to control her anger "Look at me when I talk to you. I lost my sister because of you. She couldn't handle that you were all the sudden so mad at her, all the time. That your time spent together was you yelling at her.
"I did what had to be done, I did what was best" ye yelled at her
"Yeah well your best wasn't good enough. Tatiana is now afraid to trust anyone. Afraid that one day they will wake up so mad at her that they turn her away." She had stopped yelling. Tears were running down her face as well as Carly's, Laura's and even Liz's "And you know what I find ironic is after all the times she forgave you, you never did tell her you were sorry"
Gia wiped her face and walked into Laura's office where everyone else shortly joined her. Nobody said anything to Sonny, what was there to be said. Words seemed empty, and gestures meaningless.
Sonny looked in the direction she ran, and then looked back into the office where the 4 ladies sat, pushed the elevator button, stepped on the elevator and left without saying a word to anyone.
