| CHAPTER 7
Sonny walked into the kitchen and saw Alexis on the phone which he wasn�t too happy about. �I�ll take care of it.� He heard her say just before hanging up the phone walking over to the kitchen table and taking a bite of Molly�s peanut butter and Jelly sandwich. Sonny laughed to himself when he remembered a conversation about a month ago that he had with Kristina about how upset mommy was that Molly won�t eat anything other than peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for breakfast, lunch or dinner. He figured by now she would have gotten her to eat something else but he could tell by the look on Alexis�s face that she hadn�t. �Mommy loves you both.� Alexis said as she gave them both a huge peanut butter and jelly kiss. �And the sandwiches you helped make Kristina were perfect, but mommy has to go to work.� �What?� Sonny yells in disbelief as she then preceded to walk past him. This woman must have completely lost it when she fell if she thinks I�m going to let her go to work after just getting out of the hospital. Sonny mumbled to himself as he followed her down the hall and into her bedroom. Alexis pulled an outfit out of the closet and started to get undressed only to notice Sonny standing there looking at her through her mirror. She turned and cocked her head at him and he just gave her a don�t even think about it look. She wasn�t sure how she was going to pull this off but she knew she wasn�t going to finish getting undressed in front of him. She picked up her blouse that she let fall to the floor and the outfit she was going to put on and walked over to the bathroom. Sonny couldn�t help but flash his dimples when he heard the door lock. �We�ve slept together how many times now Alexis and you still have a problem with me seeing you naked?� Alexis held her clothes tight to her body as she leaned against the bathroom door. She felt like a school girl caught with her pants down� or her shirt off whichever the case may be. Was she being totally childish? Yes and she knew it but couldn�t help it. Sonny continued to talk to her through the closed locked door which only caused her to blush more and more with every word. She finished getting changed and then looked at herself in the mirror. Oh god if I go out there looking like this Sonny is going to know he�s getting to me. That just his words alone are enough to cause me to lose my mind. Damn she wanted him so bad she almost started to cry as she turned around and leaned against the sink supporting herself with the palms of her hands. �~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~**~~*~*~*~**~~**~*~ Alexis after a long while was finally able to compose herself and walk out of the bathroom and confront Sonny. She stood up straight looked in the mirror and fixed her outfit and then her face. She was going out there and letting him know in terms he would understand that he wasn�t going to stop her from going into work. She was capable of making up her own mind and like it or not he was not in control of her. She took a deep breath and unlocked the bathroom door. She was just about to open it when she realized that Sonny had stopped talking to her. Maybe, she laughed to herself, he got the hint and left. Great she thought as she slowly opened the door. I won�t have to argue with him at all because he knows it�s a fight he isn�t going to win. The bathroom door opened and she step out of the room smiling. She was completely in control of herself and damn it if it didn�t feel good. Well that was till her jaw dropped and her face fell flat. There was Sonny in all his glory sitting back on her bed with his arms strapped in front of his crest, his legs crossed at his ankles and his dimples flashing bright and smug. �Going somewhere?� He simple questioned as his dimples deepened. She so wanted to just turn around and crawl back into the bathroom. But then she thought about just walking over to him and smacking that smug look right off his face. Instead however she recomposed herself, took a deep breath, ignored his question and walked over to the bedroom door and try to pull it open. She turned around quickly when she found that he had locked the door and was about to yell across the room at him but found him standing inches from her face pulling her into one hot and heavy kiss. Why? She asked herself. Does his kiss make her feel this way? Why does she lose all control when she�s with this man? Why does ���.. her mind drifted as she realized Sonny had walked the two of them backwards and over to the bed. Slowly he pushed her back and watched her breathe for several seconds before he undid his pants and let them fall to the floor. I can�t let this happen. Alexis said to herself as he brought his body down on top of hers kissing her neck with such emotional desire. He needs to know the truth about why I slept with Jerry before they could do this again. His kisses became more intense and lower on her body as he pushed her shirt from her shoulders. She knew she had to put a stop to this but so didn�t want to as her hands began roaming his body as well. Like a person lost in the woods not needing a road map her hands found their way under his shirt and she was caressing his body. Her touch was driving him insane, he needed her and more importantly he wanted her. He knew they shouldn�t be doing this, that they should be talking through things but he was scared. He was scared that if he pulled back and the two of them started to talk he may never feel this way again. He loved her so much and the last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. She grabbed his face and made him look into her eyes. They were sparkling bright and nowhere near full of the regret he feared they might have. In fact her eyes were saying just the opposite. They were telling him to stop playing games with her and make love to her. He looked deep down into them for a while before he made her wish came true and the two of them became one ��.. one more time. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ A few hours later Alexis was lying on her bed staring at the ceiling. There was just something about the sound of Sonny�s breathing that brought a calm sense of peace over not only her body but the room. She couldn�t believe however that yet again the two of them made love without so much as talking about what was happening around them. �Crud!� she said out loud as she sat up and held the sheet close to her chest. What�s going around us she thought. The girls oh my lord we made love while the girls were eating lunch. She laid back on the bed and closed her eyes as Sonny rolled over and kissed her cheek softly. �What�s the matter Alexis?� He asked as he looked into her eyes. She looked at him in disbelief. How could they have made love with the girls and Viola just down the hall from them. She bite her bottom lip and explain to him what the look on her face was all about and waited for the worst. Sonny started to laugh and she wasn�t finding it very funny. �Sonny the girls could have walked in on us? They could have seen the two of us....� She motioned with her hands. �You know the two of us�...� She hit his chest when he started to laugh even harder. �Alexis sweetie, the girls couldn�t have come in the room for the same reason you couldn�t get out. The bedroom door is locked.� A little comfort came over her face. �Besides you have nothing to worry about, they�re too young to know what we are doing in here anyway.� �Them maybe.� Alexis said shocked by his words. �But Viola isn�t.� Sonny controlled his laugher and pulled her lips to his and just before he over took her mouth with his he simply said. �I love you Alexis Davis.� Alexis�s head was spinning as she was sure the words that she thought she heard didn�t actually come out of his mouth. There was no way he could have said that, she thought to herself not even realizing that Sonny had broken the kiss and was staring deep into her gleaming eyes. �Alexis.� Sonny said several times before she reacted to his voice. �Did you hear what I said?� Did I hear what you said? She asked herself over and over again. Yes I heard what you said the only thing is you didn�t actually say what I heard. I just heard what I wanted to hear so therefore no I didn�t hear what you said. Should I tell him no I didn�t hear what he had to say? She debated with herself. I mean if I say I didn�t hear him then he�ll probably just say it again. The only thing is will I actually hear what he says this time or will I hear what I want him to say again? There is no way he said I lo�. Oh my god I can�t even say in my head what it is I thought I heard him say. She quickly unlocked her eyes from his. But then again what if he did say it am I suppose to say it back? Or is it just a test to see if he says it what I will say. I so doubt he wants me to tell him I lo�. Ohhhh�� why can�t I just say the word� al I have to do is say I lo�. I lov� I lov�. �I love you too Sonny!� She spit out so fast she couldn�t stop herself from saying it and then covered her mouth like she said a four letter word in front of one of her children. �I can�t believe I said that. I didn�t mean to say it, it just kinda like came out. So therefore I object �.I didn�t say it and you can�t say anything about it because it was never said.� �Where are you going?� He asked as she quickly made her way off the bed and onto her feet. She couldn�t even look at him as she picked her scattered clothes up and ran into the bathroom. Sonny laid his head back onto the pillow and smiled as the words �I love you too Sonny� ran wild through his thoughts. She loved him she really did love him, weather she wanted to say it or not she did and that�s all that matters. He got out of bed and slipped on his pants before picking his shirt up off the floor and putting it on as well. He then looked back over to the bathroom and smiled one last time before he walked out of her room and made his way into the living room. �Daddy where�s Mommy?� Kristina asked. Sonny walked over to where she was sitting on the floor and sat down next to her. He told Kristina that mommy was in the bedroom calling her office and letting them know that she wasn�t going to be coming into work after all. Kristina smiled brightly at him as she handed him a crayon and gave him a picture to color. She was so lost in what she was doing that the fact that her daddy was sitting next to her somewhat dissolved didn�t even phase her. His shirt wasn�t tucked neatly in his pants, he wasn�t wearing any shoes and his hair was dissolved to say the least. Alexis came walking out of the bedroom a few minutes later and watched Sonny sit on the floor and color with his daughter like he belonged there. The picture of the two of them together like that was priceless and something, thanks to her own insecurities for Kristina�s safety, didn�t occur very often. Maybe just maybe if he can get past everything that she has done with Jerry Jacks and he can help her get out of all the trouble Jerry is causing her right now things between the two of them can work. They could be the family she always wished they would be. Or was she just diluting herself and avoiding the unavoidable. She took a deep breath, it was now or never. �Sonny we need to talk.� He turned back and looked at her. He could tell she meant business and things were about to hit the fan. He got up and kissed Kristina on the top of her head and then walked over to Alexis. He took her by the hand and grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch before they headed outback. She looked up at him but never spoke a word as he watched her sit on the porch swing and then covered her with the blanket. He loved the way her eyes sparkled and her hair shinned under the light of the full moon. He knew the conversation they were about to embark on wasn�t going to be an easy one, but he didn�t care. He knew she loved him and because of that love they could work through anything. At least he thought they could when the words that came screaming out of her mouth were the last ones he thought he�d hear. �Jerry Jacks is partially responsible for the hit on you that almost killed your son.� |
