"I'm sorry, what?"
"Oh no, you heard me."
"I heard you I'm just not sure you actually said... I mean why?... How?... What?"
Sonny smiled.
"Well the why is actually pretty easy, you're the most intelligent, beautiful, sexy, fraustrating, stubborn, amazing woman I know. The how is a bit more tricky, mostly because I'm not certain myself. I mean one day you're Alexis, my best friend, my sparring partner, my confidant. Then suddenly I realize you're all those things and more. You're the first person I think of in the morning and the last, before I close my eyes at night. You're the person I run to when I'm happy or sad, or angry, knowing that you will be there for me. You're the woman I trust more than anyone else on this earth. I come here with legal problems or family problems and realize they're all just excuses, excuses to see you. I feel whole when I'm with you and even when you're driving me crazy there's no one else I'd rather be with. I don't know how to explain what you mean to me except to say that I love you."
"Wow."
"Good wow or bad wow?" he asked with a nervous smile.
"Definitely good, you're very eloquent when you chose to be."
"Thank you"
"You're welcome."
"So are you going to tell me how you feel about me now?"
"I..."
At that moment the door opened and Kristina walked in. Before she could step fully into the room Sonny was up.
"No, no, no. "
"Sonny?"
"You have to leave, we're in the middle of something very important."
"Alexis?" But Sonny was the one to reply.
"Kristina you're Alexis' sister I respect that but if you don't let us finish this conversation right now, I'm going to throw you out the window." Kristina's jaw dropped and she quickly turned around and headed out the door, shooting Alexis a "What the hell is going on with you two look" as she went.
"You know threatening my relatives isn't exactly the best way to my heart." The smile on her lips denied her serious tone
"I will apologize to her later, I'll even send her flowers."
"Gardinias?"
"No, I only send those to you. Now stop stalling and answer my question."
"Sure, what was it again?"
"Don't toy with me sweetheart, you know the question. Do you love me or have I just made a complete idiot of myself?"
Alexis paused as though thinking and finally replied, "yes."
"Is that yes to the first question or the second?" Sonny probed impatiently.
Alexis leaned over until her lips were mere inches from his.
"You're a smart man Corinthos, I think you can figure it out."
He kissed her, losing himself in her sweetness. His hands began to reach for the buttons on her shirt when he remembered that Kristina could be back at any moment probably bring Ned or Jax along to rescue Alexis from the crazy man.
"Maybe we should go to my place."
"I was just thinking the same thing," she replied as they headed towards the door.
Now in order to be a good bodyguard one is supposed to notice everything but in his years working for Sonny Johnny had learnt that sometimes being a good bodyguard meant not noticing things. Therefore Johnny did not to notice the fact that Sonny and Alexis were holding hands as they practically ran accross the hall. Nor did he notice that Ms. Davis' shirt had only the botton two buttons done up. He certainly didn't hear the arguement over whether or not Sonny would carry her upstairs or any of the sounds that followed. Of course he had missed it all but that didn't stop the comment that escaped his lips as he stood at the door ignoring what was happing inside. "It's about time."
