Now
What? Part 5 Alexis
woke up the next morning with a silly grin on her face. Then she
realized that it was just a dream. I can't continue like this.
Dreaming of you every night. Sonny, it's driving me crazy. Alexis,
just forget about him. Get up, start your day. But he's coming
over today. Oh, brother, more pretending that he means nothing to
me. I must act merely professional with him. Whatever he wants to
discuss, I can handle it. I can handle it, yes. She got out of bed and went into the bathroom to begin getting ready for the day. She decided to wear one of her severest black pantsuits. I want to at least feel like I'm in control today when he comes over, not someone who could lose control at any moment, like I felt last night. This outfit should help. I hope so, anyway. *** Sonny
got maybe 1 hour of sleep that night, if that much. He tossed and
turned most of the night, thinking of the woman across the hall.
He fretted about what to do. Finally, he came up with a plan of
action. He quickly took a cold shower, which had become a habit
lately. He grinned, thinking about the day that maybe Alexis would
join him in the shower. God willing, I won't have to wait much
longer. After the shower, he quickly dressed in a silverish-gray silk top and some charcoal colored pants. He slicked back his hair with some gel and went downstairs. *** Alexis
was unsure when Sonny would show up, so she dressed early. She was
all put together when she heard a knock at the door. Here we
go again. Stay in control, Alexis. Breathe. Act professional. You
can do it. She
opened the door, not bothering to look through the peephole this
time. "Hello, Sonny." He's gorgeous. Stop it. Professional. "Good
morning, Alexis. Let's go." He waited for the explosion that
was sure to come. "Go?
Go where? I'm not going anywhere with you. I'm staying right where
I am." The man must think he can tell me what to do. No
way, Jose! "Oh,
yes you are. You're coming with me." He grabbed her arm and
started to pull her out of the apartment and over to the elevator.
"Just
what the hell do you think you're doing? Let go of me! Sonny, let
me go!" What a jerk! He can't treat me like this! I won't
let him! Sonny
was having trouble holding onto Alexis. I'll never let you go,
if I can help it. Boy, you sure are strong. Good thing the limo
is right outside the elevator waiting for us. They
struggled all the way down in the elevator. When the doors opened,
Sonny shoved Alexis into the waiting limo. She tried to struggle
free but Sonny was just too strong. Why is he forcing me to go
with him? I'm being kidnapped! But, strangely, I am not afraid of
him, just royally pissed off. Now what do I do? I'm stuck here in
this limo and now that I'm calming down, Sonny is starting to look
cute to me again. Dang it! Why, why, why . . . Sonny
hated doing this to Alexis, but he really couldn't see any other
way to get her to come with him. He wanted it to be a surprise,
and he was certain that she would not agree to come "somewhere"
with him without knowing why. So, he decided to make her come. I
guess some would consider this kidnapping and I guess it is. But
I felt I had no choice. I wanted you to come with me, Alexis. Please
forgive me. I was desperate. "Damn
you, Sonny. I never thought I ever had to worry about you, of all
people, rough handling me. Did you have a personality transplant
or something?" Sonny
looked at Alexis opposite him in the limo. "I'm sorry, Alexis.
I just knew you wouldn't agree to come with me so I could think
of nothing else to do." "Did
it occur to you to at least have the decency to ask me?" "Would
you have said yes?" "No,
absolutely not." "So
there." Alexis
just glared at him. She didn't bother asking where they were going;
she was resigned to the fact that he probably wouldn't tell her.
So she just sat and glared. Boy,
she's really pissed at me. I don't blame her. It will be worth it,
honey, if you can just hold on. I promise. Finally,
they arrived at the airport. The limo drove straight onto the tarmac,
right next to the plane. Alexis still had no idea where their eventual
destination was. Sonny was going to go to extreme measures to keep
it from her. He wanted her to be surprised. He had told the pilot
in advance that he was to not give any information about the flight
over the plane's intercom. If there was an emergency or something
that Sonny needed to know about, the pilot was instructed to summon
Sonny to the cockpit. When they arrived at their destination, a
limo would pick them up on the tarmac and Sonny planned on blindfolding
Alexis. Sonny
guided Alexis onto the plane. She had stopped struggling, thankfully.
She had not said a word to him for at least 20 minutes. As
Alexis boarded the plane, she asked the pilot where they were headed. "I'm
sorry, Ms. Davis, but I've been instructed not to tell you." "It
was worth a try." Alexis
sat down in the big chair across from the couch. She did not say
a word to Sonny. This is ridiculous. I am not going to glare
at him the whole time -- takes too much energy. I am going to sleep.
With that, Alexis put on her seat belt, leaned back in the chair,
and tried to sleep. But now, with my eyes closed, I can smell him
better. Oh, god, he smells delicious. What is that he is wearing?
It's driving me crazy. Wait, Alexis, you're supposed to be mad at
him. I am mad at him. But he smells so darn good I can't help wanting
him. Body, get control of yourself. Turn your sense of smell off!
With that last thought, a smile came to Alexis' face. She almost
laughed aloud. Sonny
saw that smile cross her face and wondered what she was smiling
about. He would give anything to know. He felt a tightening in his
groin. Whoa there, Sonnyboy. Not so fast. You have a long way
to go yet. Sonny closed his eyes and also tried to go to sleep. Both
Sonny and Alexis awakened when the pilot came on the intercom. "Mr
Corinthos, we are beginning our final descent. We should touch ground
in about 30 minutes." Alexis
glared at Sonny again with her arms crossed over her breasts. "Are
you going to ever let me in on where we're going?" "All
in due time, all in due time. Good things come to those who wait." Really,
what was the deal with all these trite sayings? Give me a break.
Alexis shut her eyes again and tried to shut Sonny out. Finally,
the plane touched down. Alexis was hopeful that she would finally
be able to figure out where they were. "Alexis,
I know you're going to fight me on this, but we've gone this far
without you knowing where we are. May I please put this blindfold
on you? Pretty please?" He
gave her the cutest dimpled grin he could muster. C'mon, Alexis,
surprise me and don't fight me on this. I don't want you to be angry
with me anymore. I want you to love me instead. Alexis
looked at him. You must know I can't resist those dimples. You're
not playing fair. What am I going to do? "Well,
since you asked so nicely, fine, put the blindfold on me. Hurry
up before I change my mind." Sonny
was relieved that she wasn't going to fight him in this. He felt
a rush of feelings towards her. Oh, I hope this turns out the
way I hope. I hope I'm not going to lose the most important thing
in my life. As
Sonny gently put the blindfold over Alexis' eyes, he caught a whiff
of her hair. Is that the scent of gardenias? Damn, I want to
kiss you right now. You smell delicious. As
Sonny's hands touched her hair, Alexis' breath caught in her throat.
The sensation of his touch made her want to melt backwards into
him. It took all her strength just to stand there and let him tie
the blindfold. Control yourself, Alexis. Stay strong. Sonny
steered Alexis to the exit of the plane. "Take my arm, Alexis.
I'll not let you fall." I've
already fallen, don't you know that? It's too late. They
slowly went down the stairs to the waiting limo. Sonny opened the
door for her and guided her inside. She sat down but Sonny, instead
of sitting across from her, sat next to her. Why are you sitting
so close to me? You like torturing me, don't you? Oh,well, you might
as well enjoy it while it lasts. Sonny couldn't stand not being closer to Alexis so he decided to sit next to her instead of across from her. He could smell her scent better that way, and even though it only served to torture him, it was the sweetest kind of torture in the world. C'mon driver, drive fast. I want to get there as soon as possible.
