Chapter 5:

8:00 PM, Saturday night

"Sonny, shouldn't you be hanging out with the guys?"

"Nah, I'd rather hang out with you."

"That's great, but we don't have to spend every waking moment together."

"Is there some reason why you don't want to hang out with me?"

"No, it's just that--Wouldn't you rather hang out with Johnny, Jason, Max, and Zander?"

"Let's go see a movie."

"Are you sure?" He nodded. "What movie do you want to see?"

"Halloween: Resurrection."

"Let's go."



During the movie, Alexis was so scared that she kept on jumping out of her seat. 'This movie is so scary. Why the hell does he want to see this?'

At one point, she got so scared that she gripped Sonny's arm so hard that her knuckles turned white.

"Calm down, Lex. It's only a movie." He chuckled. He found her fear to be cute.

"What are you laughing at? It's not funny!"

"Uh, yea, it is." Alexis opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Instead, she just turned back to the movie and let go of her grip on Sonny.

As the movie played, she got so scared that she jumped out of her seat and onto Sonny's lap. He was surprised, to say the least.

"Oh my god, Sonny, I'm so sorry. I have no idea what got into me. Actually, I do, it was fear. I got a little too freaked out and I just jumped onto your lap. I'm so embarrassed. Again, I'm sorry." Alexis turned a million shades of red.

"Alexis, breathe. Don't worry, I don't mind having you on my lap."

"Pervert."

"But you love me anyway." Alexis said nothing. She got off his lap and went back to watching the movie.



A half hour later, the movie ended and the lights went back on in the theater.

"Let's go, Sonny. I have to be home soon."

"You know what I learned today?"

"What?"

"I should see this movie with you again. Maybe you could jump onto my lap if you get scared."

Alexis's jaw dropped. "Oh! You can be such an a** sometimes." She lightly smacked him on the stomach.

"Remember what I told you this morning about hitting me? I was nice then, but now, you're really gonna get it."

"What are you gonna do, Corinthos? Huh?" Her question was answered when he swept her up in his arms and spun her around in a circle.

"Sonny, alright, you had your fun. Now, put me down!"

"Nope."

"Well, what are you going to do? Carry me out of here and into the car?"

"Yep."

"I don't think so. Put her down. Now!"
