Chapter
11 - Passionate Feelings
An
hour later Alexis had just followed Cameron and Jax to the door
saying that she'd be just fine. Sonny stood at the fireplace staring
at some pictures of mother and daughter, which Alexis recently had
placed on the fireplace.
Alexis:
"A penny for your thoughts
" She replied after having
seen Sonny stare at the pictures of his daughter and her mother.
Sonny:
"Just thinking about everything that's gone down lately! You're
sure you're OK? We can go to the hospital if you
"
Alexis:
"Sonny
I'm fine, really!" She exclaimed trying to
calm him down, as she knew that he felt partly responsible for what
Kristina had been through.
Sonny:
"I don't know what I was thinking when I just gave Carly permission
to take Kristina for a walk. I mean
I know Carly, and I know
how destructive she can be
"
Alexis:
"You love her - sometimes we close our eyes to the negative
aspects of our loved ones because we want to think the best of them."
Sonny:
"I'm sorry to have let you down!" He exclaimed knowing
that Alexis was talking about him, as she'd never really seen him
for what he truly was as when Zander had been beat up by Jason on
his orders.
Alexis:
"You are who you are Sonny, and I don't think that anyone can
change you. Brenda, Lily, Hannah or even Carly couldn't change you
so I highly doubt that I'll ever be able to do that task, and neither
will Kristina because you are who you are. You're a survivor Sonny,
but you're also very destructive, and that's probably why you've
always ended up with Carly."
Sonny:
"I know that my life isn't something that you'd like either
Kristina or yourself anywhere near but I'm begging you: don't take
that beautiful angel away from me!"
Alexis:
"Why would you even think that I'd take her away from you Sonny?"
Sonny:
"It's pretty clear that you and Cameron are extremely close.
He's a way better option for father material than the well known
'mob boss'." He replied sadly, as he walked to the couch where
he sat down.
Alexis:
"Cameron is great, and I care about him very much but that
doesn't mean that he's going to replace you in Kristina's life.
And as far as creating a family with him then I'm just not ready
for that kind of relationship with him yet." She explained
sitting down on the coffee table being directly opposite Sonny.
Sonny:
"You know what?"
Alexis:
"No, what?"
Sonny:
"If my mother was still alive I'm sure that she would have
loved you! Your personalities are strikingly similar."
Alexis:
"How so?" She asked wanting Sonny to trust her again with
his childhood memories of his mother; Adela.
Sonny:
"When she encountered a situation she always thought of her
family first - just like you with Kristina. You two are one of God's
rarest examples of selflessness."
Alexis:
"I don't think that anyone's ever used that word about my character
ever before. I think the words having been used about me have been
more in the direction of neurotic, loyal and self-determined but
never selfless - that really means a lot Sonny - thank you!"
She smiled.
Sonny:
"I could say the same thing about you
" He replied,
as he went back in time when Alexis had said some very truthful,
and from the heart qualities about her next-door neighbor.

FLASHBACK ***
Sonny:
"Well, I mean, I do have a temper.
We all know that."
Alexis:
"That's an understatement."
Sonny:
"But I already apologized."
Alexis:
"Well, you could do better."
Sonny:
"A better apology?"
Alexis:
"No, you could deal with your emotions in a more productive
manner."
Sonny:
"Oh, say what I feel, don't get mad?"
Alexis:
"That's the general idea, yes."
Sonny:
"Yeah, ok. You first."
Alexis:
"Me?"
Sonny:
"Yeah, you. Yeah. You know, you were in my apartment for an
hour, telling me how you were going to tell me how you felt, and
you didn't. Do it now."
Alexis:
"I feel that you are a domineering, chauvinistic, morally bankrupt
criminal with a great deal of personal charm. Which you exploit
on a regular basis to get people to do things that they would never
do for you under any circumstances whatsoever. But you have a great
heart, and one, two, maybe three times a year you actually choose
to show that. The rest of the time you're mildly enjoyable to deal
with, when you're not being a complete nightmare. Anything else?"
Sonny:
"I like you, too."
Alexis:
"Good. Good night."
Sonny:
"Oh, yeah. One more thing
"
Alexis:
"I'm billing you for this."
Sonny:
"I get now that whatever you say to me is coming from a good
place."
Alexis:
"Well, I'm glad that you noticed that. You're still not getting
a discount."
***
FLASHBACK ***
Alexis:
"I'm glad that we're getting more and more comfortable with
each other because that only means that Kristina's childhood will
be that more happier and uncomplicated!"
Sonny:
"It also shows how much we've grown since Kristina's death
- you've been able to get past what happened even though it was
all Alcazar but I do know why you felt compelled to blame me. That's
also why I know that this is right!"
Alexis:
"What is?" She asked smiling.
Sonny:
"This
" He whispered placing his hands around Alexis'
neck, and kissing her open mouthed, as they both groaned out of
passion.
Alexis:
"We shouldn't be doing this
" She replied trying
to separate them in fear of getting hurt again.
Sonny:
"It's right, and that's why you're resisting!" He exclaimed
standing up together with Alexis, as they lost the fight, and gave
into what they'd both been craving for months now.
Sonny
took the ends of the chestnut colored sweater Alexis was wearing
and slid it off her body, as Alexis began unbuttoning Sonny's shirt.
As Alexis was standing only wearing a pair of jeans and a peach
colored bra and Sonny was merely wearing a pair of black pants they
stared into each other's eyes, and felt as if they'd made some life
altering decision that would make both of their lives complete.
Alexis:
"I never stopped loving you!" She exclaimed with teary
eyes.
Sonny:
"I know me neither baby!" He exclaimed before claiming
Alexis' lips, and guiding her body down onto the floor where they
made love, while listening to Luther Vandross and Mariah Carey singing
"Endless Love".
"Endless
Love" performed by Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey
My
love
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's right
My first love
You're every breath I take
You're every step I make
And
I
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do
And your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Oh, yes
You'll always be
My endless love
Two
hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
And forever
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And
I
I'd play the fool
For you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind
And yes
You mean the world to me
I know I've found in you
My endless love
And
love
I'd play the fool
For you, I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, yes
You'd be the only one
'Cause no, I can't deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
(Mariah
Carey - Greatest Hits)
A
few hours later Sonny was lying on his back on the couch with Alexis'
body pressed against his with her head placed on his warm chest.
Sonny hadn't been able to fall asleep because he'd focused on watching
the beautiful woman lying on his chest promising to never ever let
her go again. They now had a daughter and a future family to fight
for, and he'd be damned if he'd let anyone stand in the way of that.
