Chapter 6
Sonny stood outside of Alexis door knocking continuously
Alexis are you there?
He pounded on the door again.
Suddenly the door swung open to a half-dressed man now towering over Sonny
Can I help you? Harrison said looking almost annoyed at Sonnys impolite continuos pounding on Alexis door.
Sonny looked stunned to see Harrison standing there and he for a moment even forgot why he was in a hurry.
Uh is Alexis here?
Shes showering Harrison said suspiciously Can I help you with something?
Could you tell her Sonny would like to speak to her ASAP
So are you the Sonny Corinthos or one of his messengers? Harrison said intimidatingly making it clear he had no idea whom the supposed notorious Sonny Corinthos was nor did he care.
Im Sonny and you are?
Harrison Blair
Neither man stuck out his hand
Well uh if you could get that message to Alexis
No problem
And the door closed behind Sonny
AAHH! Alexis jumped at Harrison peeking into the shower You scared me!
Harrison let out a light chuckle at scaring her
Sorry I didnt mean to frighten you
Alexis grinned back as she cut off the water and stepped out. Harrison never took his eyes off of her naked body with beads of water still sliding down her skin.
You could hand me a towel
Why? Harrison still grinning and then reaching for her a towel
I thought you would sleep for a little while longer after your travels last night?
I actually was sound asleep but I woke up by the pounding on your door
Pounding? Who was it?
I have now met the notorious Sonny Corinthos
Alexis let out a small snicker at the word notorious
Hes not as a big and scary as I pictured
But are they ever? Alexis said shaking her head
Well he mumbled something about needing you ASAP
Alexis rolled her eyes
So it was him personally so hes not in jail. Was he bleeding?
It didnt seem so
Ok, it can wait at least until Ive had my coffee
And I thought you were known to be at his beck and call?
Well, my mind seems to have wondered elsewhere she said kissing him repeatedly
Ah the cure for the common Corinthos! again grinning at his humor
Ok you get in the shower, I will get my coffee and deal with Sonny just in time for you to have breakfast ready for me when I get back she said giving him a playful wink
Its troubling how well you adapt to me being your house boy
Its because youre just so damn good at it!
Harrison got in the shower and Alexis got dressed and with coffee in hand headed across the hall
What? Alexis sounding unconcerned by not raising her voice
Who is that guy?
Thats was what you needed to see me for?
No, no sorry I uh needed to know if you had heard anything about the new contracts being signed so we could go ahead with the deal.
No I havent. And you know they werent suppose to call until later on today
Oh right, I forgot
You forgot?
I got a lot on my mind
Ok. Is something else wrong?
No, no! Uh how was your vacation?
Good, are you sure youre ok? You seem more strange than usual?
Im fine, he said getting defensive
Ok Alexis said giving up
You never answered me
Hmm?
Who is that guy? letting out a jealous tone
Alexis uncontrollably let out a grin
Harrison
Is he your friend?
Uh yeah hes an old friend Alexis paused for a minute Hes more than an old friend
And she left Sonny there alone to think of her words that left lingering effects
Back so soon? You must really be a great crime fighting, super lawyer!
Well I try
So you solved all his problems?
Im not sure exactly what his problems were
What do you mean?
I think the majority of the discussion was about you
Really? What did you say that I was your incredibly handsome, smart, loving making machine BOYFRIEND!?
No that wasnt it She paused for a moment waiting for the reaction on his face Actually I just told him your name and that you were an old friend.
I didnt know I was your secret
Harrison if we make love the way we made love the other night you wont be a secret for long
Then maybe we should get to it As Harrisons lips went for Alexis neck as she giggled
A few minutes later before they could go too far, they were interrupted by Kristina walking through the door. She looked as if she had on her clothes from the day before and it was obvious where she had been all night.
Im sooo sorry! Ignore me, Im going upstairs, ignore me!
Kristina, its ok!
Harrison good to see you again
You too he said giving her a polite smile
Well again, I can see you two were in the middle of something so Im going to head upstairs!
Harrison and Alexis watched her walk upstairs and Harrison again began to kiss Alexis.
Harrison then stopped noticing Alexis was no longer playing along
Lex what is it? Harrison said noticing her sudden change in mood
Uh nothing she now had gotten up from the couch
Your mood just changed, just like that
Im fine
Did Kristina just do something to make you change your mood?
Harrison its not a big deal ok? she let out an obvious disappointing grin
Im sorry Harrison now realized where Kristina was She was with your ex wasnt she?
Lets not talk about it ok? Im over it
Obviously not
Harrison its just hard for me sometimes but I think I found the cure for the broken heart she said now gibing him a shy smile
Lex, I dont want to be the man who just takes your mind off of Ned Ashton
Alexis let a serious silence come between them before she spoke
Its just that simple Harrison. When Im with you I dont need Nedor Sonny or anyone else that will fill up the emptiness inside of me. You shown me time and time again that youre here for me unconditionally and youre who I want and youre who I need.
Harrison wrapped his arms around her and squeezed her tight enough to comfort her and let her know that he would be there, unconditionally. Because she was also the one he wanted and needed.
