Notes: Another one shot. Alexis is out living on her own, and probably old enough to buy her own beer in this one. This was posted to Tumblr like an hour ago, and now it's coming to you.
Alexis lazily flipped the channels on the TV in front of her, finally coming to land on a Grey's Anatomy marathon. With a heavy sigh she sat back against the couch to try and get lost in the drama at Seattle Grace. Her phone buzzed across the small coffee table in front of her as she took a long pull from the amber bottle in her hand. She reluctantly reached for the infernal device with every intention of chucking it out of the room. She stopped short when she saw the the text was not from the ass she formerly referred to as boyfriend, but from her father.
"Hey Pumpkin, Kate and I are on our way over to drag you and Jacob off to dinner. Bring your appetite!"
She sighed and thumbed open the keyboard. She pondered how to tactfully cut them off and let her wallow. She settled on a lie. "Not home. Sorry."
"We can meet you somewhere. I want to see my Baby Bird!"
Alexis rolled her eyes. "Not tonight, Dad. Please." She knew that the moment she hit the 'Send' button her phone would be ringing in response. Her father was nothing if not predictable, and her phone rang only moments later.
"He- APPLES! APPLES! APPLES!"
She smirked, and waited. There was a rustling sound and some whining from the other end before a female voice floated over the line.
"I'm going to send him over to play Call of Duty with the boys. Call me when you feel like talking."
"Thanks, Kate," Alexis replied before ending the the call and sinking back into the couch. She knew she'd be calling Kate back in an hour or two, right now she just wanted to finish her beer and watch Addison Montgomery make life a living hell for Meredith and McDreamy. So she did. She nursed her beer, and put her thoughts in order.
