I feel like my break from writing has really fucked with me. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things. Your reviews definitely give some inspiration, so I appreciate them. Hope you guys like this one. Be sure to let me know what you think : )
Since Sonny missed her club meeting last night due to her attending the playoff game, the blonde was going to go over to the Russo's family apartment to see what she missed. Now, the blonde twin didn't have to go the Russo's place. Harper offered to go hangout elsewhere, but Sonny politely declined the offer because Alex hadn't been home all week. As much as she loved the skateboarder, and loved having her there every night, she knew that Teresa still loved her daughter despite the way she had been acting. And, she didn't want to see their relationship fade to nothing if it could be saved. She wanted to give Alex everything she could, and if she could help patch things up with her mom then she would be happy to see a healthy mother-daughter relationship replenish with the two Russo women.
Sonny wasn't asking for much, at least in her mind it wasn't much. "Just consider it please?" the blonde pleaded.
Alex and Sonny were up in the blonde's room. The middle Russo was lying on her girlfriend's bed watching Sonny dig through her closet for something to wear. "I don't wanna." Alex whined.
The blonde picked out a nice dress with a pair of leggings to keep her warm out in the snow. Once she found her outfit she tossed the clothing items onto the bed. Currently Sonny was still in her pajama shorts and baggy shirt. The blonde glanced behind her to see if the door was shut, it was. "Ok. Alex. I really don't want to have to play dirty." She said looking at her girlfriend.
The skateboarder stared at the blonde questionably. "What do you mean?"
"I mean.." Sonny said but then trailed off. She lifted her night shirt up over her head, and threw the discarded piece of clothing in the direction of her dirty clothes hamper. "I don't want to have to get dirty." She said surprising Alex with how sexual she was coming off.
The middle Russo thought she was dreaming. This was like something out of a fantasy. Alex watched as Sonny crawled up on the bed, and up on top of her.
The blonde bit her bottom lip, and stared into Alex's eyes. Sonny's eyes flickered from the skateboarders eyes to her lips. She took one of Alex's hands and placed it on her bra covered breast. Then Sonny leaned in and kissed Alex ever so softly.
Sonny pulled away just enough to speak, her breath hitting the skateboarder's lips as she did. "If you don't come with me.. I'm cutting you off." She stated, then quickly hopped off the bed.
"What!" Alex shouted. Realizing what just happened. "Oh. That was all kinds of fucked up."
The blonde giggled. "I told you I didn't want to play dirty." She said as she removed her shorts and starting getting dressed.
"That wasn't dirty, that was low." Alex replied disappointed. She thought with the way Sonny was acting that she was going to get some.
"I know." Sonny said. "But, I'm serious. Please come with me to your parents' apartment?" the blonde practically begged. "For me?" she added in.
The middle Russo stared at the blonde before her. 'why can't I ever say no to this girl.' The skateboarder thought to herself. 'maybe it's because she's half naked..'. Alex sighed. "Will that make you happy?" she questioned.
A look of pure joy appeared on Sonny's face. "Yes, it will."
"Fine." Alex huffed in defeat.
…..
The young couple was enjoying a nice walk through the light snowfall of Waverly. Currently the two teens were holding hands. Alex noticed there was a Starbucks up ahead, and knowing how much her girlfriend liked coffee she thought she'd buy her a cup. "Hey sweets, you want some coffee?" the skateboarder asked.
The blonde looked forward and saw the popular coffee shop. "Oh, that would be fantastic. I'd love some."
"Too bad. I'm cutting you off." Alex joked, using what Sonny said earlier against her.
The blonde scoffed. "Yeah, right." She said playfully as she reached up and snatched the yellow beanie off of her girlfriend's head.
"Whoa!" The skateboarder exclaimed as Sonny took off running in the direction of the nearby Starbucks. The middle Russo laughed as she raced to catch up to the blonde. "I don't know why you're running. You know I'm faster than you!" Alex shouted.
Sonny was almost to the front door of the coffee shop when she felt a pair of arms wrap around her, engulfing her. The blonde giggled knowing just who it was.
Alex placed a warm loving kiss on Sonny's cheek. "Now, give me my hat back." The skateboarder said with a smile.
"Or what?" the blonde teased, looking over her shoulder at Alex.
"Ooh." The skateboarder said. "I wouldn't have gone there."
"Wha-" The blonde started to say, only to be attacked in her ticklish spot on her neck. By now Alex was a pro at finding it and exploiting it in situations like this. "Ahh!" Sonny shrieked. "Haha Al-" she laughed. "St- ahaha stop it." she begged while in the middle of a giggle fit. "Aha Al- alex." She tried to say while playfully slapping Alex's forearm.
After a second or two more the skateboarder finally detached her lips from the blonde's neck. "Ok. Ok. I'll make you a deal." Alex offered, still holding the blonde in her arms.
Sonny got her breathing back under control, and let herself melt into the middle Russo's arms. "What is your deal?" she quizzed.
"If you give me my hat back.. I'll get you a nice hot cup of coffee." The skateboarder stated.
The blonde pretended to think about it. "Hmm.. I don't know.."
"Ok. How about coffee, aaand whatever else you want on the menu?" Alex said editing her previous offer.
Sonny turned around in Alex's embrace to face her. The blonde reached up and put the yellow beanie back on the skateboarder's head. "Deal." She said quickly pecking the skateboarder's lips.
….
After the young couple left the coffee shop they headed back on their path to the Russo family apartment. When they arrived in front of the Substation Alex let out an annoyed sigh. "Come on. It won't be that bad." Sonny said nudging the skateboarder.
"Psh.. whatever." Alex replied knowing better. Regardless of how the middle Russo felt the two of them still traveled into the sub shop. "Where is everyone?" the skateboarder questioned once she saw that all of the lights were off, and no one was down in the shop. Her dad was never closed on Saturday, he was too cheap to take a weekend off. So, naturally Alex was surprised.
Sonny was a little confused too. It did seem odd. "I don't know where they are, but Harper said she was upstairs." The blonde said, tugging Alex in the direction of the spiral staircase. The skateboarder followed behind her girlfriend as she led her up the steps, enjoying the view along the way.
When the two teens entered the apartment they saw the last person they expected to see. Sitting on the orange living room couch was Carter Lovato herself. Sitting by the young teen was Harper and Justin. The tomboy was kicked back relaxing as she surfed through the channels. "The fuck are you doing in my house?" Alex quizzed.
The tomboy stopped what she was doing and glanced over at Alex. "You live here?" Carter asked as she put the remote down. She was surprised to see the skateboarder too.
"Lunch is ready!" a female voice yelled. "Carter get over here!" Demi yelled again. Then the ball player saw Alex and Sonny standing by the front door. Demi glanced over at her wife, giving her a confused look.
Selena didn't know what to make of it. She wasn't sure why the young couple was here either. "What are you love birds doing here?" Sel asked politely, struggling to hide her confusion.
The skateboarder looked at Selena oddly. "I live here.. what are you doing here?" she questioned.
Just then Teresa walked down the staircase with Max following closely behind her. "Jerry wants to know if you would like apple, or pecan pie." Mrs. Russo said to the Lovato's, holding her cell phone to her ear. "Oh, Alex. What a surprise." Teresa said dryly upon seeing her daughter.
"Aunt Teresa, is Alex your daughter?" Selena asked not understanding why her aunt was coming off so mean to the teenager. Sel knew Teresa had three children and by the looks of it Alex was one of them.
Mrs. Russo sighed. "Yes. She's my only girl." She said unenthusiastically as she walked into the kitchen.
"Wait.." Sonny spoke up. "Mrs. Russo is your aunt?" the blonde asked Selena.
"Yes." Selena replied, then turned her attention to Alex who wasn't looking too happy. The skateboarder knew it was a bad idea to come here. She knew how her mother could get, and she didn't want anything to do with it. "So, Alex I guess that makes us cousins." Sel said with a warm smile.
"I feel so mind-fucked." Alex mumbled. "I didn't know uncle Ernesto had any kids."
"He doesn't." Justin stated as he stood from the couch. "Selena is Maria's daughter."
"Who the fuck is Maria." Alex nearly shouted. She was becoming aggravated. She had no idea who this supposed woman was, her mother never told her she had more than one sibling.
Carter lifted up her water bottle to take a sip, and mumbled. "Some alcoholic bitch."
"Watch your mouth." Demi warned her teenage daughter.
"What for?" Carter questioned. "All that crap she put mom through? There's no way. That woman can rot in hell." The tomboy said as she got up and headed towards the table.
Selena shook her head and looked over at her wife. "She's definitely got your personality." She said letting a smile tug at her lips.
"..So.. we're related?" the skateboarder quizzed.
"Yes." Teresa said bluntly. "Are you staying, or are you leaving?"
"I think Alex should leave." The oldest Russo child stated. "But, Sonny should stay."
Harper face-palmed. The redhead thought this was over. "Why, Justin? Why?" she whispered lowly to herself.
"We're a package deal." Sonny told Justin as she scooted a little closer to Alex, and stood on her tip toes to peck the skateboarder's cheek.
"Oooh." Max said like a kindergarten class would when someone got in trouble. "Burn! Bro you got burnt by Sonny." He said laughing.
Demi felt the tense vibe flowing through the air, and she didn't like it. For the ball player, a home should never feel like this, and she made sure her home never felt this way. "Sonny, Alex, come sit down." Demi said motioning to the table. She liked the teens, regardless of how anyone else may have felt.
….
Sure enough everyone was seated around the Russo's small dinning room table. Harper, Sonny, Alex, Carter, Demi, Selena, Teresa, Jerry, Max, and Justin. In that order.. To say the least it was crowded. Not to mention slightly awkward. There managed to be light conversation, but not much. Alex wasn't being much of a talker, all she wanted to do was leave. She picked at her food, but for the most part she was texting under the table.
Yo. Anyway you could get Mitch to the skatepark later? – Shane 1:36pm
I guess. IDK. We were there yesterday where the fuck were you? – Alex 1:38pm
At the hospital… I need to talk to Mitch. – Shane 1:39pm
About? – Alex 1:40pm
Caitlyn – Shane 1:41pm
Fuck that mess. Im not interfering and neither are you. – Alex 1:43pm
You interfered already. Its my turn. Shes a wreck. I already told Cait to fucking forget about her, but she's hung up. I gotta help her out. I tried strippers already. – Shane 1:46pm
WTF? – Alex 1:47pm
Yeah, strippers, Taylor, porn, drinking, pot.. im running out of options here.. so maybe I can talk Mitch into at least answering Cait's calls or something.. – Shane 1:49pm
Plus Caitlyn saw Mitch kiss some butchy looking slut on tv last night and I haven't heard the end of it since.. – Shane 1:50pm
LMAO . That's Demi Lovato's daughter bro. – Alex 1:51pm
Meanwhile, as Alex was having her texting conversation/argument, the rest of the people at the table had gotten into a heavy discussion. "What made you look for us?" Jerry asked Selena.
"Well when my mother passed, I just felt like I needed to meet the rest of my family." Selena began to explain. "She never talked about any of you. I didn't even know you all existed until she passed away and I read her will." The ex-cheerleader informed them. "It was old. It dated back to when I was just a baby."
"Yep. Left Selena all of her debt." Demi said as she took a bite out of her sandwich.
"But, you obviously didn't have any problems paying it off." Jerry stated. "You must make millions." He said to the pro basketball player.
Demi scrunched her eyebrows together, and put her food back onto her plate. "Right. So I should just have to pay Maria's debt off because I can afford it?" she challenged.
"Well, no.."
"Demi." Selena said sternly, knowing just how her wife could get. Nothing set Demi off more than having to defend her opinions of Sel's family. Demi went through too much crap with Selena's parents, and she felt she should never have to explain herself after what she went through.
Teresa wanted to change the subject. She hadn't spoken to her sister in ten or so years, and the guilt was starting to weigh on her. "So, Carter.. Seeing anyone?" Mrs. Russo asked.
"Wha?.. oh, not exactly." The tomboy replied. "I met someone last night though."
Demi looked at her daughter. "Yeah, we need to talk about that by the way." She said hinting to Carter's little half time show.
"What's he look like?" Harper chimed in. She found the whole lunch conversation to be quite interesting, but this was the only thing that she felt she could ask about. The last topic seemed too family related for her to jump into.
"She." Carter corrected. "She's gorgeous. Silky black hair. She's shorter than me, which I like. And, she's a year older, which I also like." Carter said with a smirk. "That and her eyes are crazy. There brown, but.. I don't know.."
Alex may have been texting away, but she still heard what Carter said. The skateboarder looked over at her girlfriend. The couple exchanged a look, both knew Carter was talking about Mitch. Sonny just smiled thinking it was cute. She would love someone like Carter to date her sister. From the looks of it the Lovato's kept her pretty grounded, and Sonny liked that.
"She sounds beautiful." Teresa told the tomboy.
Selena rolled her eyes. "Carter has ridiculous standards. I wonder where she gets that?" Sel said sarcastically to her wife.
Demi didn't even try to argue. "From me. Have you seen my wife?" the ball player asked Selena. "No? oh, well she's smoking hot. Definite 10." She said making Sel fight a blush.
"You guys are so cute." Harper said. "You remind me of Sonny and Alex." At that comment Justin, Jerry, and Teresa all looked at Harper strangely.
"How on earth do they.." Justin said gesturing to the wealthy older couple. "Remind you of them?" he said motioning to the young high school couple. "Alex is a jerk."
Sonny brushed some of her golden locks behind her ear, and stared down at her lap. She didn't like it when people ran their mouth about her girlfriend, they didn't know the truth. He didn't know the amazing person that Alex truly was. "I may be a jerk, but I'm still the one with a girlfriend.. and before you say anything, no your hand doesn't count." Alex shot back.
Justin gasped. "I- wh- i- MOM!"
"Oh, damn." Max said, coving his mouth.
"Alex! Watch you language." Her mother instructed.
"He had it coming." The skateboarder mumbled.
"Well, I for one think Alex is very sweet." Selena said to no one in particular. "I had the pleasure of meeting her last night, and from what I've seen she treats Sonny with plenty of respect."
Justin was appalled. "Psh.. clearly you haven't been around her enough." The eldest Russo child stated. "She's nothing but a hooligan."
Demi couldn't help but smile. "Who says hooligan?" she joked.
"Nerds." Carter and Alex said at the same time. The two looked at each other, thinking their timing was on point. Then without exchanging words they high fived. "I'm gonna need that girls number." Carter said to the skateboarder, referring to Mitchie.
"Why would Alex have the girl's number?" Justin quizzed, then a thought popped into his head. "Unless.. she's cheating.." he said slyly.
"I don't think so.." the tomboy said to Justin. "I'm pretty sure if that was the case she would've been busted by now." It would practically be impossible to date one twin without the other one finding out. Not that Justin knew who Carter was talking about anyway.
The eldest Russo thought about it. "Hm.. I guess you're right. Alex isn't that smart enough to pull that off.."
"Ok." Sonny said before Alex had the chance to reply. The blonde was getting mad now. She was at her wits end. "Two things Justin. One. Your sister is a faithful girlfriend, one who I don't worry about straying.. and, two. She is smart, she's darn smart, and I would appreciate it if you kept your snide remarks to yourself."
"Burned again!" Max shouted, slamming his hand down onto the table.
Carter stared at Justin. "Dude.. you're so annoying." She said to the older boy.
"Whatever." Justin grumbled. "I bet that girl you met wasn't even that attractive."
The tomboy smirked. "Oh yeah?" she questioned as she pulled out her cell phone. She unlocked the screen and went into her pictures. In her gallery she had a picture from last night. One from the big screen in the gymnasium. Carter got it from one of the tech guys that worked the monitors. "Check her out." She said extending her cell out for the older boy to see.
The eldest Russo squinted to get a better look. "That's Mitchie!" He yelled as he pointed at the picture on the cell phone.
Harper reached out to look at the picture. "Oh, wow. That is Mitchie." The redhead said, not too surprised, but still a little taken off guard by it.
"Selena, darling. You might want to keep your daughter away from her." Teresa suggested to her niece.
"Why?" Sel asked curiously.
Alex knew what was coming, and she knew she wasn't going to like it. "She's a bad influence." Mrs. Russo stated. "She's always getting Alex into trouble, and-"
"Mom!" Alex shouted.
"What Alex?" Teresa asked. "Don't pretend like it's not true."
"How exactly does she get Alex in trouble?" Demi questioned, jumping into the conversation. After all it was concerning her daughter.
Teresa sighed. "Just earlier this week Alex got arrested because she got into a fight. I thought I was going to be facing a lawsuit." The mother of three explained.
"How was that Mitchie's fault?" Demi asked. She was pressing the issue to figure out just what kind of girl her daughter was trying to date.
Alex spoke up before her mother got the chance to bad mouth her best friend again. "Her ex hit her, and I didn't think it was right." Alex said with conviction in her voice.
Demi having been told all about the relationship knew what the middle Russo was talking about, however she didn't know that Alex had taken the matter into her own hands. The professional ball player didn't respond, she just nodded her head taking in the information. It took Demi back to that day when she got into a fight in the cafeteria and Kendra came running, and jumping over tables to help her. It was safe to say Demi saw Alex as someone who was more of a good friend than a hooligan, as Justin put it earlier.
"Either way." Teresa began, but this time Demi cut her off.
"No." the ball player said. "That's friendship at its core.. To this day I could call up my best friend from high school, and if I needed anything I know she'd be there for me in a heartbeat.. Can you say the same about your friends from high school Teresa?" Demi pondered. "Kendra and I got in fist fights, hell we got in a fist fight with each other at one point.. but, I know she's there for me, and she knows I'm there for her. Alex and Mitchie have that same type of bond. Anyone can see it, and it's pretty selfish of you to give your daughter shit for helping out her best friend."
"..I just think Alex could associate herself with better people." Teresa defended.
Demi leaned forward. "I don't think you know what a bad person is.." She said quietly.
…..
Lunch had certainly tensed up after Carter showed off her new love interest. The teens had all relocated to the living room sofa, while the adults stayed seated at the table. Sonny had gotten up to get Alex a slice of pecan pie, and bumped into Selena in the Russo's small kitchen. "Hey." Sel greeted, she was cutting her wife a piece of the apple pie Jerry Russo had brought home earlier.
"Hi." Sonny replied as she picked up a small glass plate.
The ex-cheerleader watched the young blonde cut a decent sized slice out of the sugary treat. "Crazy stuff, huh?"
The blonde nodded her head. "Yeah.." she said as she put the slice of pie onto the glass plate. "You know, I made Alex come here today.."
"Why?" Selena quizzed.
Sel leaned against the counter patiently waiting for what the blonde had to say. "I thought that maybe Mrs. Russo and Alex could patch things up. Alex hasn't been home for nearly a week." She confessed.
"There's just some things that can't be fixed, sweetheart." Selena said trying to comfort the young girl. "What are you doing with a girl like Alex anyway? She seems like the trouble stirring type." Sel said, and the way she said it let Sonny know she didn't mean it in a negative manner. It was kind of obvious Sonny was the academic type, just from how well she carried herself. So, naturally Selena wondered what brought the two polar opposites together.
The blonde twin glanced over to see her girlfriend on the orange sofa just in time to see her give her older brother the middle finger. Sonny smiled watching Alex's childish antics. "Ironically enough, she's just so sweet and loving.. and a huge flirt."
"Mm.. Demi was the same way." Selena replied. "Not so much with the trouble stirring, but she was definitely a huge flirt. She still is. That doesn't go away."
"Good." Sonny said, her smile widening.
Back in the living room Alex had finally given Carter Mitch's cell number, and the tomboy decided to give her a call. Carter got up and headed out to the terrace that over looked part of Waverly. She hit the call button, and Mitchie's phone began to ring.
The rocker was currently up in her room, tuning her guitar, getting ready for a jam session. She had the itch to cause a little mischief, but her partner in crime was busy, so she settled for rocking out in her room. They had plans to reek a little havoc on Waverly Place later that night, so she could wait.
Mitch was on her last string when she heard her cell phone going off. "Ugh. Fuck." She groaned as she put her shiny black Gibson guitar down on her bed. The rocker looked down at the floor where she left her phone. The screen was lit up with a number she didn't recognize. She stared at it oddly, but never the less reached for it. The black haired twin cautiously hit the answer button, not knowing what to expect. She thought maybe it was Caitlyn trying to call her from a different number just so she would answer. "Hello?" she said as she brought the phone up to her ear.
"Hey sexy. What you doing?"
The rocker pulled the phone away from her, and stared at the number. The area code wasn't one from Waverly. "Who the fuck is this?" Mitchie questioned, returning the cellular device to her ear.
"Carter. Carter Lovato."
"Ohh." Mitch said realizing who it was. "Heyy" She said flirtatiously.
"Hey. What are you doing tonight?" the tomboy quizzed, already making plans in her head for the evening.
