She sat at the park waiting for him. It had been a month since their first date, their first amazing date, but then life got hectic, and she hadn't been able to see him as much as she would like to. He would sneak to her office for lunch, or come cook dinner for them. Then they had the breakfasts' at Kelly's. She smiled as she thought of the one last week:
She sat there waiting for him playing with Molly on her lap. He had come through the door in his usual theatrical way. His face held a scowl, but when he turned to her he beamed.
"Hey" he said before taking the baby out of her arms. She loved watching him coo at the baby.
"So is that what you are using me for, my baby?" she stated jokingly.
"Well I was planning on using you for a lot more Miss Davis" he said with a smirk.
She just arched her eyebrow at him, and sat back watching him play with the baby. She noticed something in his eyes; noticed that something was wrong.
"Okay are you just going to sit over there brooding, or were you going to tell me what was wrong?" she asked.
"I don't brood" is all he said.
"Sure you don't Mr. Broody pants" she stated jokingly.
With that he looked up to her with one of those patented dimpled smiles, "alright, I am having some problems with Michael, and his adjusting to living with Carly. But I don't want to talk about it; I just want to spend time with you."
She grinned back to that morning where she had placed her hand upon his, and told him if it mattered to him than it mattered to her.
She was snapped out of the moment when she heard a familiar voice, "Krissy!" she heard Morgan squeal.
When she looked she saw a very enthusiastic Morgan and Kristina running towards each other. When Sonny had first asked if he could bring Morgan and Michael to the park she had been reluctant. However she knew that being with Sonny meant being with his children; and in reality Kristina adored her brothers.
She looked so beautiful just sitting there in the park. This was a big step for her; well for both of us. What made him so happy was that she seemed okay with the nature of their relationship. He thought back to a certain lunch date at the Metro Court.
They were in the elevator riding down to the lobby, and he reached to hold her hand. The funny thing was when the elevator stopped at the lobby he expected her to pull away, but she didn't. She walked right out of the elevator holding Sonny Corinthos' hand. He remembered smiling at her.
"What are you grinning at Corinthos?" she asked with a smile.
"You" was all he said as he grinned over at her.
He was proud; proud that she didn't care who saw her holding his hand. He wanted to shout from the rooftops how much he was in love with Alexis Davis, but he avoided that. He was going to let her set the pace of the relationship; make sure that she felt comfortable with how things are going.
"Dad! Dad! Hello!" startled him from his daydream
He looked down to the red headed boy and answered, "Yes Michael?"
"Can I take Krissy and Morgan to the monkey bars?" he asked.
Sonny nodded and finished walking towards Alexis.
"Hey you" he said as he sat down.
"Hey" she stated shyly.
"How's Michael" she asked motioning towards the boy.
"Actually, he is doing a lot better. I took your advice and we had a long heart to heart. Hey-don't look too smug I do sometimes listen to you. Hey let me see my little angel face" he stated smirking.
"Good I am glad, and I gotta ask Sonny…are you using me for my baby" she stated with a full dimple onslaught.
They played with the baby and watched the kids play with each other. They sat there just being with each other, hands intertwined as they sat in the park. They were interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Michael, Alexis didn't expect to see you two here" Mike stated quizzically.
Sonny tensed up at the voice of his father. He didn't want Alexis to be uncomfortable but he felt her squeeze his hand and she spoke first.
"Well, it's a lovely day Mike and we figured we would take the kids to the park" she stated matter of factly while gesturing towards his grandkids.
He just looked questioningly at Sonny who decided to rectify the situation before it happened.
"Hey Mike, why don't you walk to the fountain with me so we can catch up" he told the man while giving Alexis a knowing glance. She just smiled at him.
"So what's up Mike?" he asked slightly annoyed.
"Oh Michael, you and Alexis Davis are holding hands in the park and you ask me what's up. I think that would be a more appropriate question for me to ask you. You hated each other, remember?" he spat out.
"I…Lex…we…its complicated Mike, and people change. Lex and I…were together again…and I'm sorry if this is upsetting to you, but that's out of my control. So you have a wonderful day Mike, and I am going back to Alexis" he said walking away.
"What about Carly, Michael?" his dad called to him.
Sonny just shrugged, "what about her?" he stated emotionless.
The rest of the park date went off as planned. Unfortunately Alexis had to cut it short to get ready for Ric to pick up Molly. He helped her bundle her up and put her in the carriage. He gave Molly and Kristina quick pecks on the foreheads. Then he looked to her and she grinned, and he took full advantage of giving her a quick kiss on the lips. To say she was in shock might be an understatement but she just smiled and walked towards her car.
Before leaving she reminded him, "dinner tonight?"
He quickly nodded and made way to his car. He was in the kind of mood that made him want to skip, but he avoided going that far. Then he heard Michael ask the question.
"Why'd you kiss Kristina's mom on the lips?" he asked innocently enough.
"Son, remember how we talked about me and your mom?" he asked his son.
"Yeah Dad, I know that you and mom aren't getting back together, and I am okay with that. Does this mean you are going to marry Miss Davis?" he asked.
Sonny smiled at the question and thought about how to answer it. "Well I wasn't planning on making any rash decisions about marriage, but would you have a problem if I remarried" he asked semi afraid for the answer.
"Nah, and if you married Miss Davis then Kristina would come live with you and that would be cool" he stated before he got distracted "oh Dad can we get ice cream" he asked seeing the ice cream man.
"Sure buddy' he said as he watched his sons run towards the ice cream truck. "Yes, today had been a good day" he thought.
She got home and quickly prepared for Molly's overnight trip to Ric's. She was nervous, but calmed by the fact that Ric loved their daughter so much. She heard his familiar knock on the door.
"Hello" she said opening the door.
"Hey, you look great" he stated happily before noticing Krissy.
"There's one of my girls" he stated scooping her up.
"Daddy Ric!" she heard Krissy shout as she smiled.
"Let me grab Molly, okay? She asked.
He nodded and busied himself with Kristina ramblings about her day at the park. When Alexis came back he decided to invite her for dinner.
"Hey, do you and Krissy want to come for dinner?" he asked.
She smiled, "I would love to, but we have plans."
Then Kristina chimed in, "Daddy is coming over dinner tonight!"
He saw the blush appear across her face and it told him all he needed to know. He picked up Molly in her carrier and prepared to leave, but turned to give Kristina a huge hug and kiss. He then turned to Alexis.
"Hey, I just want you to be happy, okay?" he stated looking into her eyes so that they both understood what he meant. She nodded as he walked out.
She got the call half an hour before he was supposed to come for dinner.
"Hello" she asked.
"Lex its Sonny, umm I don't think I am going to make it for dinner; I have a slight emergency" he stated.
Immediately her thoughts went to Carly, but she tried to stay calm, "fine, okay" she stated dejectedly.
"Hey, hey Lex, Morgan has a pebble stuck in his ear and I am at General Hospital waiting for the ears, nose and throat specialist to try and flush it out" he stated calmly.
Immediately she felt apologetic, "Oh Sonny, I am sorry, it's okay, we will reschedule, its just…" she let herself trail off.
"I wanted to see you too. So listen I will come over for dessert, okay?" he asked.
She tried to cut him off with, "you don't have to."
"I want to Lex…please" he pleaded with her knowing her weak spot.
"Well since you ask so nicely" she said with a grin.
Three hours later she heard the knock on the door. She opened it to a slightly disheveled Sonny with a pastry box. She took the pastry box from his hand and said a quick, "thank you" and then made a move to close the door.
"Hey no fair" he stated pushing his way in as she laughed and he enveloped her in his arms.
"Krissy's asleep?" he asked mere inches from her face.
She was having a little trouble breathing so she just nodded. After a quick couple of kisses they sat down and enjoyed the torte he had brought."
After they settled on the couch, "I was disappointed I thought you would brought biscotti" she stated flirtatiously.
"Oh you wanted biscotti?" he said turning in to look at her mouth.
He began to trail his fingers over her lips as he softly began to kiss her forehead, then her eyelids, the bridge of her nose, her cheekbones, her chin, the side of her neck. Things began to get intense as he laid her down on the couch and began to kiss down her neck. She moaned in appreciation, as they started to kiss each other deeply. She had her hands wound tight in his hair as he cupped her face and kissed her into wild abandon. Then all of the sudden he popped off.
"I got to go" he stated anxiously.
"Sonny is everything okay?" she stated kind of upset.
"Yeah, everything is fine, I just have to go…now!" was all he said before his trek to the door. He turned to her and noticed the hurt look in her eyes and walked back.
He cupped her face with his hands as he looked into her eyes and spoke, "Lex, you do not know how bad I want to stay, but not like this. I want it to be so much more special…" he said with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
She smiled brightly before she kissed him and stated "you are killing me Corinthos."
He shot his infamous dimples at him before speaking, "soon Lex…soon."
This was kind of a fluff chapter; I was feeling a Sexis romance mood…so this is kind of an interlude. Hope you enjoyed, and remember…feedback is always appreciated.
