Chapter 12:

[Author's note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I wrote this chapter a while back but was just too lazy to type it up.]

"Hey beautiful." Sonny tried to kiss her lips, but she turned her head and he kissed her cheek instead. "What's wrong? You're not having doubts about us, are you?"

"No, it's not that. Stefan's here and he doesn't know that we're dating and I would rather not tell him just yet."

"Why not?"

"When I got home after our date yesterday, he gave me this big lecture about you. He said you were trouble."

"Oh."

"Alexis, who was at the door? Oh, hi, Sonny." Stefan shot Alexis a look.

"Hello, sir."

"I have to go. I'll be back later, Alexis. Sonny." With that, Stefan left.

"Look, we're alone."

"Yes we are. Whatever shall we do?" Alexis tapped her head playfully.

"I don't know. How about this?" He kissed her cheeks. "Or this?" He kissed her neck. "Or how about this?" He captured her lips in a passionate kiss. They got so into the kiss that they did not hear the door open until it was too late.

"What the hell is going on here?! Alexis, you said that the two of you were friends. Now I find you two making out? Thank god I forgot something and had to come back to get it. I don't even want to think about what you would be doing if I hadn't interrupted."

"We weren't doing anything."

"I wasn't talking to you! I was speaking to my sister. Both of you, stay here. I'm going into the kitchen to make a call. I'm going to cancel the appointment I have."

"Stefan, that's not necessary."

"Yea, I'm just going to leave."

"Silence! I told you two to stay put." Stefan went into the kitchen to make his call.

"What do we do now?"

"We wait for him to come back. I know my brother. We're in for a big lecture." Sonny groaned. "Don't complain. This is all your fault!"

"My fault?! How is this my fault?"

"If you hadn't kissed me like that, we wouldn't be in this mess right now."

Sonny grinned evilly. "So you enjoyed the kiss?"

"That's not the point!"

"Aww.Come on, Lex. Don't you find me irresistible? I know you do, so just admit it." Sonny flashed her his dimples.

'Damn the dimples. He knows they make me weak in the knees.' Stefan's voice jolted her out of her thoughts.

"Listen up, both of you. There will be none of that in my home. That was completely unacceptable."

"I'm sor-" Sonny started to say.

"Do not interrupt me! Alexis, I forbid you to date him!"

"You can't do that! I will date whomever I chose to, it's called free will."

"Not while you're living with me!"

"You know, you didn't do this while I was dating Ned."

"Mr. Ashton wasn't a trouble-making Neanderthal!"

"You don't even know Sonny!"

"And I don't want to know him. You can be friends, nothing else!"

Sonny, who was silent this entire time, spoke: "Mr. Cassadine, I know you don't think I'm right for your sister. However, if you give me a chance, I'll prove to you that I'm not the 'trouble-making Neanderthal' that you think I am.

Stefan gave what Sonny said some careful consideration. After several moments of silence, he decided to give Sonny a chance to prove himself.

"However, I'm warning you right now. If you hurt my sister in any way, you will have to answer to me. Do you understand?"

Sonny nodded his head.

"Now that we understand each other, I'm going to leave you two alone." Stefan exited and the door shut with a bang.

"So, Lex, you never did answer my question."

"What question?" Alexis was confused. She didn't remember him asking her anything.

"Do you find me irresistible?"
