Author's Note: I know. I know. Why haven't I updated Tame Me? Because I've been on a serious Demena kick lately. I know exactly where I'm going with this. And I like it. A big thank you to my new Beta, Miss Jammies. (:
Anyways. Inspired by Tim McGraw – Taylor Swift. (:

"It's not as bad as people make it out to be." Alex smiled at the shock in Sonny's voice.
"You mean you approve of my snuggling methods?" Sonny scoffed and lightly poked Alex's cheek.
"I meant New York, smart ass." Alex chuckled and repositioned her head on Sonny's thigh.
"Nothing is prettier than New York at night." Alex muttered. Sonny sighed dramatically and shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know about that one, Alex..."
"You think you've seen better?" Sonny slumped back against the wall of the small balcony and smiled down at the mess of black hair in her lap.
"Oh yeah." Alex furrowed her brow and tore her eyes away from the city lights to look at Sonny.
"What could possibly be better than New York?" She asked with a pout. Sonny grinned and gently squeezed the fingers locked between her own.
"You." The burnt-out light made it hard to see the blush on Alex's cheeks, but Sonny caught it as she turned her head back to the city.
"How many Disney movies did you have to watch to get that one?" Sonny smiled, but didn't respond. The light squeeze she got from Alex said more than she ever could.

Alex rocked back and forth on her heels outside apartment 3A. She'd tried calling Sonny that morning, but every time it just went to voice mail. Although it wasn't like the other girl, Alex guessed she was just sleeping in. Judging by how long it took someone to answer the door, it didn't seem so far fetched. Until a man in a business suit answered the door, obviously just as surprised to see her as she was to see him.
"Is, uh, is Sonny...? Here?" Alex squeezed her eyes shut and mentally slapped herself. Smooth, Russo.
"Oh." Mister Suit sighed and smiled weakly at her. "You must be Alex." She nodded and smiled back sweetly, the special smile that worked wonders on adults.
"Yes sir! Is Sonny home?" She tried again, attempting to discreetly crane her neck to see past him. He frowned slightly and sighed again, running a hand through short jet black hair.
"She doesn't live here, kiddo." Alex stopped and just stared, half amused and half highly confused. "I'm just her uncle. She lives in Wisconsin." Amused lost. Confused was winning.
"W-wait. What? No, I just saw her yesterday." He shifted nervously, trying to look anywhere but at her. "Where is she?" Confused was losing.
"I'm sorry, kiddo. She went home." Fear won.
