*~Chapter 2~*
***Alexis' Penthouse***
(Alexis couldn't sleep that night, so she just laid there. She looked at Ned and sighed, his words from earlier playing over and over in her head
"... maybe you and Sonny have more than an attorney/client relationship"
He was right. She didn't know when it happened but her feelings towards Sonny had changed. She didn't expect them to nor did she want them to. She was married and she loved Ned with her whole heart, sure they had their problems but it wouldn't and couldn't change that fact, well at least until Sonny. Maybe it was that one night, that one kiss that changed everything...
Sonny was teasing Alexis and they were having one of their typical fights, where he tells her to breathe and such.. (you get the idea I hope I couldn't write sexis fanfics if I tried) All of a sudden he leaned in and kissed her. She didn't pull away at first but she didn't escalate it any further. After a few moments Sonny broke the kiss.
Sonny: I'm sorry, Alexis. I don't know what came over me. Your married, I'm married.
Alexis: It's ok.
Ned never found out about that. They both agreed never to discuss it again and act like it never happened. And they did for the most part, but there was still an attraction and she knew it. Her thoughts were interrupted by a crash of thunder and a little girls scream brought her back into reality, as Kristen ran into her parents bedroom and climbed up onto their bed and woke up Ned as well.)
Kristen: Mommy, daddy I'm scared.
Alexis: It's ok Angel, Everything is fine.
Ned: Mommy's right, it's just raining. Nothing to be afraid of.
Kristen: I know but I'm scared anyway.
Ned: Do you want to stay in here with us princess?
Kristen: Can I?
Alexis: Of course you can. (she brushes a strand of hair out of the little girls face. In that moment she realized that she had to try her hardest to fight the feeling she was having for Sonny. If not for her marriage, but for her little girl, because a divorce would crush her.)
