Chapter Two

The Walk

The next morning, Alexis woke up with a splitting headache; she felt as though her head had been mistaken for a nail, and someone was pounding a hammer into it. It had been years since she felt that lousy waking up. In fact, the last time she felt that way, she had been on chemotherapy for lung cancer.

- "Why the hell did I drink so much! I swear, it's that child's fault. She and that criminal she's stupidly decided to date again. I have to remember to vomit on her for this."

She squinted her eyes as opening them to their full extent only made the room spin. Since the sun had the nerve and audacity to shine brightly into the room, her ability to see through her dizziness was severely compromised. She had never resented the sun than she did at that moment. She closed her eyes as the sun's constant shine perpetuated the radiating headache she was fighting.

- "Damn you! How dare you shine in my eyes! Ow! Why the hell didn't I close those stupid curtains—"

Suddenly a realization hit her.

- "Wait a second; I've never seen those curtains before! I don't even HAVE curtains in my room."

She sat up straight in the bed and took in her environment; it was a very manly like room with dark furniture, and blue walls. She had never been in that room a day in her life.

- "Ok, where the hell am I?"

She covered her face with her hands and tried to think about the events of from the previous night.

Flashback

She continued to drink at the bar as the party continued. Sam walked over to her.

- "Hey Mom, lushing it up, aren't we?"

She threw a peanut at her daughter.

- "Hush you. I'm just enjoying myself here. I see you are."

Sam smiled at her mother.

- "I'm not going to lie to you, but I am."

- "Honey, I really wish that you'd reconsider this thing with Jason—"

Sam crossed her arms.

- "Mom, didn't we already have this conversation? I thought you weren't going to interfere?"

- "I'm not interfering! I'm just having a conversation with my first born. What's wrong with that?"

Sam glared at her. Alexis put her hands up in defeat.

- "Okay, you win. But, I'm still going to be worried about you."

Sam smiled at her mother.

- "That's fine, but I just want you to know that your opinion matters to me, too. I appreciate you caring about me—"

- "Honey, I'm your mother, of course I would care about you."

Sam took her mother's glass from her.

- "HEY!"

Sam finished the drink for her.

- "This is me being worried about you and caring for you; you'll thank me for this later."

Alexis rolled her eyes.

- "Yea, I'm sure. Listen, can you take your sister's home for me please?"

Sam was apprehensive.

- "I think I should be taking all three of you home."

- "No, I'm fine, honey. I'm going to just sit with Kate; I feel like I haven't spoken to her in weeks."

Sam shook her head and gave her mother a kiss.

- "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow?"

She wrapped her arms tightly around her daughter.

- "You'd better! Be careful, honey."

- "I will, Mom, but I can't breathe."

She let go of her Sam.

- "Sorry."

XO XO XO XO

She and Kate sat down catching up on their lives over the past few weeks.

- "I cannot believe that you lost your job as D.A.! What's worse is that I can't believe that you did those things, Alexis! It's so not like you—"

Alexis was slightly inebriated… well, let's call a spade a spade… Alexis was at the crossroads of being drunk and wasted.

- "Look, I'm not some perfect little Miss Muffet! I've done stupid things before; one of which was sleeping with that itsy bitsy Mayor, and the other—"

She may have been drunk, but she was not stupid enough to admit to anyone outside of her family that it was really Kristina who caused the accident.

- "Well, you know what the other stupid thing was."

Kate smiled and left the table when she saw Coleman pass by.

- "Oh, he's sexy."

Alexis waved at her friend.

- "Get them girl! That's what the young kids say right?"

Mac swayed over to the women.

- "HEY LEX!"

She frowned at him.

- "You're an incredibly loud drunk, you know that?"

He tapped her on the nose.

- "I'm a HAPPY drunk! I feel like it's Christmas, Lex!"

He sat in the chair Kate previously occupied.

- "Let me tell you something: When Sam marries that … that… that THUG, Jason Morgan—"

Alexis put her hand up.

- "My daughter will NOT be marrying Jason."

- "How do you know that Lex? Look at Maxie! She almost married that computer geek!"

- "Exactly, Mac, ALMOST. Sam's not marrying him."

- "She might."

- "She won't"

- "She will."

- "Mac, shut up."

She got up and walked away.

End of Flashback

That was the last thing she remembered.

- "AH! What the hell?"

She heard a muffled snore beside her.

- "Oh dear God—"

She pulled the sheet down from her bedfellow's face; there he was, a sleeping Mac … correction, a sleeping topless Mac beside her.

- "God, PLEASE let him have pants on!"

She looked under the sheet and not only was he in the buff, she had been so deep in thought about the night's happenings that she failed to notice that she too was missing her clothing.

- "Ok… um… Lex… it's not necessary as bad as it looks. Nope, he might actually sleep this way…. But, what about you, dingbat? … Um, there's an explanation for that as well… When I figure out what it is, you'll be the first to know."

She slowly rolled out of the bed, careful not to wake him up. She wanted to take the sheet, but she was not sure if she really needed to see Mac in his full glory.

- "Goddess above, if you love me at all, you'll keep this man sleeping! It's one thing to have drunken sex, it's another for him to wake up and see me naked!"

She found her clothes scattered all over the room. As she bent to grab her underwear, Mac grunted and slowly opened his eyes.

- "WHOA!"

He quickly covered his eyes.

- "Oh my goodness, I did NOT need to see all of THAT!"

Alexis was mortified and angry at the same time. She covered herself the best she could with her dress she found on the chair in the corner and pulled the sheet off from him.

- "YEA! I didn't need to see ALL of THAT either, MAC!"

Mac reddened and covered himself up.

- "What the hell was that about Alexis!"

She turned her back to him and slipped her dress on. Her head was pounding but she did not care.

- "You screamed in disgust at my naked body, and I'm not supposed to be offended?"

He shook his head and waved his hands forgetting what he was covering; Alexis took a pillow and threw it on him.

- "Cover yourself up!"

- "NO! I was just shocked! I mean, did we? You know? I mean, you and me?"

Alexis rolled her eyes.

- "I don't know! But I'm sure we weren't playing naked twister in here, and from what I can tell, that pillow is covering the only board in this room."

She grabbed her bra that was hanging on the bed post and stuffed it in her purse and walked to the door.

- "NOT a SINGLE word to ANYONE, Mac Scorpio! NO ONE!"

She stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her, aggravating her headache.

- "Sh!t!"

When she stepped out of the house, she remembered that she did not have a car; she had taken a cab to the bar and she had no idea how she and Mac got back to the house. She reached in her purse for her cell phone.

A sleepy voice answered.

- "Hello?"

- "Sam, honey, it's Mom—"

Sam looked at the clock at the bedside table; it was seven in the morning.

- "Mom, do you know what time it is?"

Alexis honestly did not have a clue.

- "Honey, I'm really sorry I woke you up, but can you pick me up?"

- "Now?"

Alexis rolled her eyes.

- "No, Sam, next week! Yes, NOW!"

Sam sat up in the bed.

- "Wait, where are you?"

Alexis pressed the bridge of her nose.

- "I'm at Mac's. And before you say ANYTHING Samantha McCall, you will bite your tongue because I'm in no mood."

Sam smiled; this was highly amusing.

- "Give me 10 minutes."

Alexis let out a sigh of relief.

- "Thank you honey."

Sam got out of the bed, and realized that she did not have anything to wear but the dress she wore the night before; she was at Jason's place.

- "This is wonderful. My mother and I are taking the walk of shame on the same morning."

She shook her head in both horror and slight amusement at the irony of it all: her mother had probably just slept with the police commissioner, while she had spent the night with the mob enforcer; only in her family would something like this happen.

Jason watched her dress.

- "Where are you going?"

She walked over to his side of the bed and gave him a kiss. She slipped her hand under the sheet; he was pleased… that was an understatement.

- "I have to pick my mother up."

- "From where?"

- "I don't think I can tell you that."

He tried to pull her into the bed, but she resisted him.

- "Oh, as much as I'd love to, I really can't. I told her I'd be there in 10 minutes."

He sat up straight and grabbed her moving hand from under the sheet.

- "Sorry, but if you want to go and get her from wherever she is, you might want to stop doing that."

She laughed and kissed him again.

- "Okay… I'll see you later?"

- "Yea."

She gave him one last kiss before she ran out of his room.

As she passed Spinelli's regrettably pink room, she laughed at the escaping sounds.

She left the apartment and made her way to her car; she could not wait to hear what her mother had to say.

Mac came down the stairs to see Alexis sitting on the steps outside like a child waiting for the school bus. He had put on a pair of pajama bottoms and a t-shirt, but he still could not believe that he might have had sex with Alexis the night before.

He opened the door.

- "Alexis, what are you doing?"

He noticed her ears reddened when he spoke to her.

- "I'm waiting for Sam; it seems that I don't have a car."

He looked in his driveway and noticed that his car was missing as well.

- "I'd offer to drive you home, but it looks like my car was left at the hall or at Jake's."

She had not noticed that his car was also missing.

- "So how the hell did we get back here?"

He shrugged his shoulders.

- "Cab?"

She shook her head, she did not believe that could be right.

- "Please, your niece and her husband were there; my daughter and her… something… were there, there's no way that either of them would've let us go home in a cab. Since Sam had no idea where I was this morning, I'm assuming that she didn't drive us, maybe Robin? But why in the world would she leave me here?"

He knew that his niece had a habit of setting single people up with each other, but he seriously doubted that she would have had two drunk single people… two drunk single people who had not had sex in some time, go home together. He hoped his niece had more sense than that.

- "I don't know. It doesn't seem like her."

A horn honked behind them; it was Sam. Alexis blushed again.

- "Um, well, I need to go."

She was not sure if she should kiss him or hug him, or anything; she settled for a handshake. Sam was watching the interaction from her car; she could not help but laugh at the awkwardness.

Mac tried to look Alexis in the eye as he said goodbye, but his eyes traveled southward. Alexis blushed harder; she snapped her fingers at him.

- "That's the last time you're going to see them; by your reaction upstairs, I'm sure the image of them are burned in your brain."

It was his turn to blush.

- "I'm really sorry Alexis, it's just really… weird."

Sam honked again; she was getting restless. Alexis put a finger up to her to tell her to wait and stop being rude. She turned back to Mac.

- "Um… I'm gonna go before Sam falls asleep at the wheel; I should've known better than to call her to get me, she's not exactly a morning person."

- "Bye Alexis. I guess I'll see you at—"

She shook her head.

- "I basically got fired, remember? But, I guess that's great for us, right? I mean, it's not like we have to really encounter each other too much… Yea, this will be fine. We don't even know if we actually… you know. So, it's fine. Um… okay, I'm going to go now because I'm just rambling."

He smiled at her; he never realized how cute she looked when she was nervous. He noticed how her dimples deepened and the way she spoke with her hands, and passed them in her hair constantly. Or how… his eyes began to wander again.

She noticed and walked away.

- "Bye Mac."

When he snapped out of his semi-conscious state, she was half way to the awaiting car.

- "Bye Alexis!"

She waved without turning around to face him; he noticed that her ears flashed a bright red.

Sam sat in the car watching her mother walk towards her; her face took on a completely new shade of red. Alexis opened the passenger side door, and sat down.

- "Not a single word."

Sam smiled.

- "Well, the only thing I was going to say… well, the only TWO things I was going to say were: One, good morning."

Alexis smiled back.

- "I'm sorry honey, good morning."

She leaned in to give her daughter a kiss on the cheek, but Sam pushed her back to her side of the car. Alexis was shocked.

- "What's wrong with you."

Sam shook her head.

- "And two, Mom, I don't know where your mouth's been, and we won't discuss mine. Let's save the hugs and kisses until after we get showered and brush our teeth, because clearly both of us need to take care of that."

Alexis looked down at her clothes, and looked over at Sam.

- "Oh God—"

Sam nodded her head.

- "Yup, the walk of shame. Oh, and your bra, is on the ground."

Alexis looked out of the window; sure enough, her bra had fallen out of her bag.

- "Sh!t."
