The
room was completely dark due to the incredible blast that it had
been a victim for. Sonny slowly began to move under the heavy amounts
of dust and wood that had fallen on top of him.
Sonny: “Alexis? Can you hear me? Where are you?” He asked
aloud trying to get an answer from her so that he’d know where
to start looking for her.
His eyes suddenly saw a body bundled together against the nearby
wall. He recognized the ring on Alexis’ ring finger –
instantly knowing that something had happened to her. He crawled
over to her, and turned her around so that he had his arms around
her body brushing away the dust from her face.
Sonny: “Hey…Can you hear me? Alexis? Can you hear me?”
He continued asking giving her face a soft kiss.
Alexis: “Mmm…What happened?” She asked slowly coming
to.
Sonny: “There was an explosion – look: can you sit up?”
He asked concerned.
Alexis: “I think so!” She exclaimed, as Sonny helped her
to sit upright.
Sonny: “You OK?” He asked moving in front of her brushing
her hair backwards, as it was all in the middle of her face.
Alexis: “Yeah, aside from a terrible headache I’m fine…”
She replied tucking a few strands of hair behind her ears.
Sonny: “God! You had me worried.”
Alexis: “Doesn’t feel good – does it?” She asked
of course referring to his recent staged ‘death’.
Sonny: “We’re going to get into that again, are we?”
Alexis: “I don’t want to fight with you, OK? I’d
just wish that…”
Sonny: “That what?”
Alexis: “…That everything was different! I’d wish
that I could provide a better home for Kristina, a more traditional
family…”
Sonny: “Kristina loves you! I mean, why wouldn’t she?
You’re the perfect mother Lex; you take care of her like no
one else. She won’t even allow Carly to take her to the park
– it has to be her daddy or mommy!”
Alexis: “She’s just as crazy about you, and she is about
me! She’s the one thing that I could make right! Even though
I have put her through some stuff over the years – she’s
never left me…” She replied looking softly into Sonny’s
eyes.
Sonny: “Like I did?”
Alexis: “We were wrong fit from the start…” She replied
looking away not wanting to get caught up in Sonny’s eyes –
that was what had made them go as far as they had the last time
around.
Sonny: “Why…?” He asked placing a finger underneath
her chin making her look into his eyes.
Alexis: “You’re someone, who doesn’t like to play
by the rules, and I do. You don’t like Jax – I do! There
are a million reasons why we can’t be, and that’s also
why I’m with Cameron, and you’re with Carly!”
Sonny: “You sure about that? I’ve been thinking a lot
about the day when Carly showed up at my door after she’d walked
in on her own funeral!”
Alexis: “Why would I care about this? Wouldn’t this be
something you should discuss with Carly?”
Sonny: “I don’t think so, because I think that I made
a big mistake…”
Alexis: “A mistake? With Carly?” She asked doubtful.
Sonny: “Why is that so hard to understand?”
Alexis: “Because like you said that day then you’ve always
loved Carly, and always will! And I didn’t want to build a
life with a man when he was in love with someone else.”
Sonny: “You got scared!”
Alexis: “Huh?”
Sonny: “Even that morning after we’d made love, you were
hoping to escape! You tried to sneak out that morning – remember?”
He asked, as they both thought back to that fateful April morning
of 2002.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “You leaving the scene of the crime? Where you going?”
Alexis: “I thought maybe home.”
Sonny: “Why?”
Alexis: “Well, I live there. I know that you're a private person
and, you know, I'm a private person and of course I'm used to, you
know, waking up in my own bed at…At least I think you are.
And you know, last night was…Last night was last night and
this morning is this morning and…And…Why are you looking
at me like that?”
Sonny: “What, now, I can't look at you?”
Alexis: “Is there anything in particular you're looking at?”
Sonny: “Yeah, you got something stuck in…”
Alexis: “Oh, God.”
Sonny: “No, no, no. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Actually,
I was staring at your…At your mouth.”
Alexis: “My mouth?”
Sonny: “Yeah. I don't know why. It just was something…Let
me see. Come here. I…Ahem. I always knew that when I got you
out of those attorney clothes, you'd be a revelation.”
Alexis: “Are you trying…Trying to embarrass me?”
Sonny: No. You…You are a fascinating woman, Alexis, multi-layered.
And to show you how much I appreciate that, I’m going to go
downstairs and make you the best breakfast you ever had in your
life – unless you got somewhere else to go?”
Alexis: “I'm OK. I'm fine.”
Sonny: “All right.”
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “Hey…” He replied softly placing his finger
once more underneath Alexis’ chin before turning her head to
face him. He could see the tears that had spilled on her cheeks
upon memorizing that beautiful memory in their past. He moved in
closer without any objection from Alexis and kissed away her tears.
Alexis: “Sonny…” She moaned, as Sonny continued to
kiss and caress the sensitive skin, which her tears had made wet.
Sonny: “What…?” He replied stopping for a minute
to look into her eyes.
Alexis: “Don’t stop…” She replied softly before
climbing on his lap, as their lips once more made instant contact
trying to please each other.
Sonny: “I’ve missed you so much baby…” He replied
softly moving his lips to her neck, loving how she would touch his
neck hair everytime he did this: it was her way of staying in control
of the moment.
Alexis: “God: this feels so good…I’ve missed you
too…” She replied softly, as her fingers moved to Sonny’s
jacket, which she slid off of his shoulders without any trouble.
Sonny: “You want to do this?”
Alexis: “Absolutely…” She replied beginning to unbutton
his shirt, as Sonny began unbuttoning her shirt – they were
both sure about the fact that this was where they wanted to be:
with each other, and no one and nothing would stand in their way
this time. This moment was made for them and their love.
‘Damn’, performed by LeAnn Rimes
There you go again when you
Rub up against my skin
I have to catch my breath
I began to sweat, oh
Lips tracin’ down my neck and
It’s scarin’ me to death
How’d you learn to draw me
To the cliff
Just to push me off
Just to push me off the edge
Chorus:
Damn, I hate the way you
Know me and
Damn, you kill me when you
Hold me
Like I’m your world, like this
Won’t hurt
Like a favorite curse hittin’
Every nerve
Damn I’m fightin’ and I’m losin’
And
Damn you, you’re pullin’ and
I’m pushin’
I’m wrestlin’ with,
I toss and twist
Till finally I give in, damn
I hate bein’ addicted only
You would have predicted that
I’d be torn and worn so thin
You can see right through
You can see right through my
Soul
(Chorus)
I get reckless, scared, confused
I feel desperate so for you
And you know it, you know it
You know it, yes you do
(Chorus)
(LeAnn Rimes – Twisted Angel)
Sonny: ”I love you…” He replied kissing her cheek,
as they’d gotten dressed, and were lying spoon fashion to conserve
the warmth.
