They laugh and then Scorpia's phone rings.

She sees Bruno's name appear on her screen and picks up right away. "Hey, Bruno. How did it go with Pia?"

"You were right sorellina. Her hearing is not good. But she does hear something. The doctor was extremely impressed with her sign language. Especially when we told him she only learned it yesterday. She is getting hearing aids next week and we'll see how she feels about them. Ti amo Scorpia. If you hadn't discovered..."

"It's all good Bruno. I'm glad I was able to connect the dots. We'll talk later. Go hug your fiance! Ciao!"

She wants to tell Logan all about it, but he says: "I've just read a long message from Lexy. I know. I'm so glad they found out what is going on exactly."

She looks at Dino and asks: "Where's Ciro right now?"

"At the hotel with Flavio." Dino still chuckles a little and says: "I always thought Flavio and Ciro were fearless."

Scorpia thinks for a second and says: "I'm going to pack a bag and then I'll go with you to the hotel. Let's see if we can increase their panic. Will you let Ciro know I'm sleeping at your place tonight?"

Dino looks at her in shock and says: "Scor, he's going to go berserk. And I'm going to get killed. And you can't really..."

"Hold on! I'm not really sleeping over, I'm snuggled up to my handsome Scot tonight. But Ciro doesn't have to know that. Not yet."

Dino lets out a relieved sigh.

She looks into Logan's eyes and he says: "If you can do it with Flavio, you can do it with Dino too. I just wish I could come with you to see it."

Scorpia jumps off the barstool and makes her way over to Logan. She wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him down for a slow, deep kiss.

He slides his hands up her back and immediately breaks the kiss. "Bonnie!"

"What?"

"Come with me! Now!"

He pulls her through the door that leads to the stairs and stares at her with eyes full of fire.

"Where's your bra?"

She giggles and points at the corner.

"Hell Bonnie. You really shouldn't do that."

"I'm getting changed right now. I can't wear this shirt if we're supposed to be fighting."

"Hold it! Come here."

She takes a step in his direction and he slides his hands under her shirt. He massages her breasts and says: "Mmmm, okay you can go."

She says his name in a begging tone and he walks back into the cafe laughing.

Dino notices his laugh and chuckles. "Thank God. I thought you were really fighting now."

"No man. I just had to get back at her."

He steals Dino's whiskey and downs it. He looks Dino straight in the eye and says: "No more drinking and no sleeping. Or she stays right here."

Dino nods and says: "I'll behave. I promise. But if she really..."

"Dino, just play along. I trust her."

Scorpia walks back into the cafe and hears the last thing Logan says. Logan looks into her eyes and smirks as he takes her look in. She made her mascara run and she's wearing on an old, wrinkled T-shirt, old jeans, and worn-down sneakers.

Dino stares at her with his jaw slacked and says: "Wow sorellina. If I didn't know any better, I'd think you've been crying."

She winks at him and asks: "Have you told Ciro I'm sleeping at your place tonight yet?"

"Doing it now. Are you ready?" She nods and runs over to Logan for a kiss. Logan kisses her wildly and checks if she is wearing a bra this time.

She bites his bottom lip and says: "I'm not that crazy my handsome Scot."

Good luck, Bonnie. Don't give Dino too much to dream about. It's bad enough as it is."

Dino chuckles and says: "Oh bro, you have no idea." He types a message to Ciro and tries to get into character.

Fratello!
I'm coming home now.
Sorellina is staying with me tonight.
It's a disaster.

He keeps it short on purpose and lets Scorpia read it. Scorpia nods and grabs her bag. "Come on Dino. Let's drive them crazy."

They walk out of the cafe and get into Dino's silver-grey Subaru BRZ. Scorpia admires the interior and Dino starts the car with a roar of the engine. They grin at each other and Dino turns onto the road.

After a minute of silence, Dino asks: "Scorpia? What was that in the children's home this afternoon?"

She softly asks: "What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. What happened when we were outside?"

Scorpia stares out of the window and says: "I remember something from the past and I... I didn't want you to see it. And when I went inside to say goodbye to Violetta I..."

She takes a deep breath and Dino says: "You saw her hugging Thomas... or worse..."

She turns her head to him fast and he looks at her with a soft look in his eyes.

"Sorellina, it's sweet that you're trying to protect me, but there's no need. I'm a big boy. I already knew we weren't exclusive. I have to admit that the time and place bothered me too, but I didn't stay to ask for details this afternoon. I didn't want to hear them."

Scorpia breathes out slowly and says: "Sorry for leaving, but I didn't know what to do with all my emotions and needed Logan and Leo."

"It's fine sis. It was a weird day with the whole Flavio thing. On top of that feeling something from the past, something you don't want. And then finding Violetta, thinking she is cheating on your brother."

Scorpia rests her head against the car window and says: "The glove and baseball triggered it... Yes, my emotions were jumbled from the Flavio stuff. And because I had just told Violetta and Thomas about my rape and mental breakdown."

Dino parks at the side of the road and looks at her. "Scorpia? Sorellina? Look at me please."

She looks at him and he can tell she's worried about what he's going to say. He rests the palm of his hand against her cheek and looks into her eyes. "Ti amo, sorellina. But as a sister. With my heart and my head as a sister. My body sometimes does things I can't control, but I swear to you that I want you to be happy with Logan. But I also think we shouldn't be weird about the past."

Her eyes turn softer and she smiles a little. "You're right Dino... I secretly went to all your baseball games. You looked so happy then. And I could stare at you freely."

She blushes a little and Dino smiles.

He strokes her cheek with his thumb and says: "It's a good thing that I never knew about that because I wouldn't have been able to play."

They laugh together and discuss their plan to tease Flavio and Ciro. Scorpia is going to pretend to be really sad and Dino will guide her into the elevator up to his penthouse. They hope to run into Ciro and as soon as he sees them Dino will touch her a bit inappropriately. If they don't run into Ciro they will wing it.

Dino drives onto the parking lot and says: "I think he's already in the lobby."

He looks on his phone and sees a ton of missed calls and messages from Ciro. He shows his phone to Scorpia and pretends to comfort her. "Her we go, sis."

He gets out of the car and quickly makes his way to the other side. He takes her bag and then helps her out of the car. He wraps his arm around her and kisses her forehead. Scorpia hides her face against his chest and they walk over to the entrance.

Ciro is pacing around the lobby and looks nervous when they come in.

Dino pretends not to notice him and takes Scorpia with him to the elevator. "Come on, girl. You'll spend the night at my place and we'll see how things look tomorrow. That Scot is crazy for letting you go. Ti amo Scorpia."

She nods and looks up to meet Ciro's eyes. He sees her run mascara and red eyes and gasps. He tries to speak but there's no sound coming out.

They get into the elevator as soon as the doors open and Dino hugs her close with both hands. Ciro looks into the elevator, just in time to catch Dino's hands sliding down to Scorpia's ass.

Dino quickly removes his hands from her ass and says: "I'm starting to feel sorry for him. He looked broken Scorpia."

"Me too Dino. Do you think he's going to follow us?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Okay, final blow, and then we're sitting down for a drink. All of us. Cause I'm done with this game. But I want to teach him a lesson too. Those damn Italian men!"

"Hey!"

She chuckles and asks: "How badly would you like to repeat out first and only kiss?"

He looks completely shocked and says: "No. No. We can't do that. If Logan finds out. I'll... I'll be dead."

"At least Violetta would be okay with it."

She pulls out her phone and sends Logan a message.

I'm going to kiss Dino.
I love you and don't want him.
But I don't want to do it secretly.

Logan replies immediately.

Hell Bonnie.
I don't like that.
Only one, okay?
That makes us even.

The doors to the elevator slide open and Scorpia pulls Dino along towards the opposite wall. She leans against it and wraps her arms around his neck.

"Scorpia? Are we really doing this?"

She nods and stares deep into his eyes.

"But Logan..."

She shoots him a stern look and Dino puts his hands on her hips. They lean their foreheads together and wait for the elevator to arrive. But they hear the door to Ciro's penthouse open before the elevator doors do. They hear Flavio's voice.

"Just come up Ciro. You can't change things from the lobby and I don't think that-"

Scorpia presses her lips on Dino's and Dino runs his fingers through her hair. They hear Flavio go silent before swearing softly.

The elevator doors open a second later and they hear Ciro. "Flavio? What is... Dannazione!"

They here his footsteps come closer and he pulls Dino away from Scorpia.

"What the fuck are you doing fratello?! Don't touch her!"

Dino turns around to him and yells: "Stay out of it Ciro! Logan let her go!"

Dino grabs Scorpia's hand and pulls her along towards his penthouse.

Ciro yells: "Scorpia! Don't throw away your relationship with Logan! Sorellina! We're sorry!"

Dino pulls Scorpia inside and closes the door behind him. He leans against the door with his eyes closed and Scorpia sighs softly. They look at each other and burst out into laughter.

Dino says: "Well, we never have to wonder about that again. That kiss was horrible."

Scorpia pretends to be shocked and says: "Ouch. I thought it was amazing."

"Yeah, right. Lie to someone else."

She laughs and says: "I love Logan, that's why it was horrible. And I think you love Violetta."

Dino sigs and nods. "We're not telling anyone about this Scorpia. Because that's going to cause a whole lot of drama."

She looks him in the eye and says: "Logan knows."

"Huh?"

"You don't really think I was going to kiss you without him knowing about it? She shows him the messages and he breathes out slowly.

"I guess he might not kill me."

She laughs and says: "Let's go and ask Ciro and Flavio if they are up for a game of quartet."

Dino's laughter bounces through the penthouse and he playfully hits her cheek. "Sister, there's no one like you."

They walk out into the hallway and here a loud discussion through the door of Ciro's penthouse. Scorpia knocks on the door and it goes silent at the other side of the door. She asks in a sad tone: "Ciro? Could you please open up?"

The door opens right away and Ciro's eyes shoot from Scorpia to Dino.

Scorpia says: "We were wondering if you felt like a game of... quartet."

Dino's eyes shimmer and he presses his lips together to prevent himself from laughing.

Ciro blinks and runs his fingers through his hair.

Scorpia asks: "You're not up for it? It's what you call it, right? A quartet?"

The penny drops slowly and Ciro sinks down on his knees. Scorpia searches for Flavio with her eyes and finds him frozen in place, staring at her. She smiles at him a bit carefully and he smiles back automatically.

Scorpia holds her hand out to Ciro and says: "Get up brother and hug me."

Ciro gets up slowly and hugs her tightly. "Scorpia? I don't understand any of this."

She says: "Well, it's not that hard. I'm going to be your new neighbor and I thought it would be fun to cozy up with each other. I've already tested Flavio and Dino and you have been with women more than once, so..."

Dino dies from laughter when he looks at Ciro's face and Flavio's deep laugh mixes with Dino's.

 Ciro stares at the two loud laughing men and growls: "I need a drink."

Scorpia makes her way over to Flavio, who spreads his arms to welcome her for a hug. "I should have known Scorpia. We shouldn't play games with you because we're bound to lose."

She looks up at him and says: "You better believe it. I always win! And hate being used for a plan I don't know the details of. Don't you ever do that again!"

She sits down on the couch with Flavio and Dino sits down next to her. Ciro walks up with whiskey and glasses. Ciro pours a glass for Flavio and Scorpia and is about to pour one for Dino too but he puts his hand on top of the glass. "No. I have to take her home in a minute."

Ciro still looks confused and pours a royal amount of whiskey in his glass. He downs it all in one go and holds his head in his hands. "Did you really fool us with all of this sorellina?"

Scorpia sips her whiskey and says: "Yep."

She pulls her phone from her pocket and sends Logan a message.

Kiss was terrible.
Ciro lost it.
Flavio gets it, Ciro is still figuring it out.
Love you. Ti amo! Xxx

Ciro looks at her and asks: "So you're not in love with Flavio? Logan is not angry? You're not with Dino... But that kiss..."

Scorpia is tempted to tease him even more but decides to end his suffering.

"I love Flavio but not in that way. You know this. There's only one man for me. Look at your chest. That answers all your questions. I love that Scot."

She puts her hand on her chest and says: "Here. Forever."

Her phone vibrates and she looks at the screen.

Love you!
I'm coming to get you.
See you soon. Xxx

She gets up and says: "Have fun gentlemen. I'm going downstairs. I've spent more than enough time in the company of other men. I need Scottish love. I'm not coming to work tomorrow either. Because I'm fitting my dress for the premiere and getting my hair done. I'll see you Saturday on the red carpet and you can only bother me if someone's dying."

Dino follows her out of the suite.

She hugs him while she waits for the elevator and says: "Thank you for playing along. And for being okay with everything. Ti amo."

"You're welcome sorellina. I love you too. I'll see you on Saturday. Now go and kiss the man who does turn you on." He winks at her and she steps into the elevator with a wide smile on her face.

She can't wait for the doors to open again and dances from side to side. She sees Logan as soon as the doors open. She runs up to him and jumps into his arms. He catches her and kisses her passionately.

He studies her face and asks: "Are you okay Bonnie?"

She nods and says: "I think Ciro's still confused but I was done with it. Flavio and Dino can explain it to him. I also told them I wasn't coming to the office tomorrow and that I'll see the for the premiere. I'm done with all those men. I only want to be with one man. The one who's in my heart forever."

Logan smiles at her and says: "You mean Leo of course."

She shakes her head and says: "Leo is for always in my heart too but I meant you my handsome Scot."

She kisses him slowly and says: "Mmm, Logannn. Only with you. Only you make sparks fly. Ti amo."

She picks her up and carries her to the jeep. She giggles and he kisses her.

"Let's go home Bonnie."

He puts her down and opens the car door for her. She gets in and Logan runs to the other side. He gets in and drives away quickly.

After a while, Logan clears his throat and asks: "Bonnie?"

He sighs and Scorpia says: "Just with my lips on his. And there wasn't even the tiniest of spark as a memory to the past. Nothing. Dino didn't feel anything either."

Logan breathes out slowly and Scorpia says, with a hand on her heart: "Here. Forever."

She looks at him and chuckles softly.

"What's so funny Bonnie?"

"Ciro's face. You should have seen him. We laughed so hard."

She tells Logan what happened and Logan laughs loudly.

"We should keep that quartet joke going to tease Ciro with. I'll buy a quartet game tomorrow to take with us Sunday. Good to know that Ciro is willing to fight for our relationship though."

Scorpia nods and says: "I talked to Dino... He wants us to be happy. He just wants to be my brother. But in his words; his body has a will of its own. And apparently, he and Violetta aren't exclusive. Not his choice by the way. And he felt bad about the fact that she did it while he was outside. Maybe I should read the messages Violetta and Thomas sent me. Especially if I have to face them Saturday night."

Logan drives onto the driveway next to the cafe and looks into her eyes. "How do you feel about that Bonnie? About the premiere?" She looks at him and he sees the fear reflected in her eyes.

She sighs and says: "I'm not sure. I acted tough and said that if we did it I wanted all bells and whistles... And I do... But I'm worried about having to look at myself. And what if the shadow tries to pull me back in? I'm afraid Logan."

He cups her face and says: "You're strong Bonnie. Very strong and you're not alone. And what if watching it gives you closure? At the very least it's going to earn you even more respect from everyone. And I'll be damned to let you go back into the shadows."

She looks at him with eyes full of tears and he grabs her hand and places it on his heart. He puts his own hand on hers and says: "Here. Forever."

She smiles and nods. "Yes, forever."

He kisses her gently and says: "Ti amo, Bonnie."

She kisses him back and says: "Ti amo per sempre."

He gets out of the car and makes her way over to her side to open the door. He holds his hand out to her and pulls her from the car, into his chest. He hugs her tight and asks: "Have you decided on a dress yet Bonnie?"

A bright smile appears on her face and she says: "Yes. I'm trying it on tomorrow. And I'm seeing Lexy for my hair."

Logan smiles and asks: "Do you have a picture of this dress?"

She nods and shoots him a naughty look. "But I'm not showing you, my handsome Scot. I want you to see it for the first time o the night of the premiere."

He looks deep into her eyes and says: "I have a feeling that my patience is going to be rewarded."

She chuckles and says: "You can count on it handsome Scot."

"Okay Bonnie, what do you want right now?"

"Do you still have some of that red tea? And shortbread?

He grins and says: "Of course I do. Upstairs? Or in the cafe?"

"You're going to relieve Marco, right?"

Logan nods and adds: "Marco's opening tomorrow morning."

"In the cafe then."

"Come with me Bonnie." He pulls her inside and she finds a spot on a bench near the window. It doesn't take him long to bring her tea and a mug. He places a plate of shortbread cookies on the table too. 

Scorpia smiles at him gratefully and he says: "I need to discuss some things with Marco. Call if you need me, okay?"

"I'm really okay Logan. Get back to work."

She pours herself some tea and picks up a cookie.

She takes a deep breath and looks at the unopened messages on her phone.
