"I don't think we should be worried about the Feds
anymore. What do you think?" Silence greeted Sonny
Corinthos as he waited for his attorney to answer his
question. Turning dark eyes upon her, he realized Alexis
Davis-Jacks had not heard a word he had said. Not sure if he
was amused or annoyed, Sonny opted for sarcasim.
"Excuse me, Ms. Davis, is my LIFE interrupting your
daydreaming?" Nearly jumping out of her chair, Alexis turned
apologetic eyes to Sonny. "I am sorry Sonny. What were you
saying?" Shaking his head, he rose from his chair and heading for
the door to the suite said, "I need to make a couple
of phone calls. I'll be back in an hour." Grabbing
his coat and nodding at Johnny he left the room and
Alexis in stunned silence. What was wrong with her?
Ever since she had woken up in her husband's arms she
had been walking around in a daze. "It's not like
we did anything wrong." She thought. Then WHY was
she feeling so guilty? And take for instance, that
bow on the Christmas Tree! Why in the world would she
notice it was the EXACT same color blue as her husbands
eyes? Alexis became annoyed when she realized that she had not
moved since Sonny left.This is Ridiculous! What was it
about Jax that felt so strangely right? She had told
Jax memories she hadn't even told Ned! And that was
what scared her. Ned was the love of her life, her
equal, her soul mate. So why did she all of a sudden
want to talk to Jax about the demons that were
haunting her? She had almost told him after awakening from
the same nightmare. He had felt so strong and the
caring in his eyes has almost caused the fear to spill
out. It had only been through years of Cassedine
training that she had been able to keep it inside. The
ringing of the phone jolted Alexis out of her
thoughts. "Alexis Davis-Jacks", she said trying to ignore the hope
that her husband would be on the other end. "Hey
Beautiful! Have time to cheat on your husband?" "Ned!
Where are you?" "Well, I'm at the gatehouse and
Chloe is going to a meeting. Something to do with
buying fabics or buttons or somthing. I quit listening
after I realized that would leave me with an hour
free." Deepening his voice to a sexy purr he added, "So
I'm on my way!" "No wait!" Alexis said, "Ned, I'm
sorry but you can't. Sonny is coming back anytime now.
We have to work on his case, then I have to run over
to the courthouse to make sure everything is ready.
I just don't have the time right now." she
said. When he didn't answer immediately, Alexis was afraid
he'd hung up already. "Ned?" she asked. "I'm
here," He said in a confused voice, "Are you
sure?" "Yes, I'm sorry." She answered. "Well, Ok. We'll get
together tonight sometime, Ok?" "Sure that would be
great." She said "Well, I'll let you get to work. I
love you." Alexis smiled softly, "Me
too!" Hanging up the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief only to
frown as the phone rang again. "Alexis Davis-Jacks"
She retorted. "Hey Wife!" came a sultry voice with
an Austrialian accent. "Free for lunch?" Slowly
the frown turned into a beaming smile, "Why, what did
you have in mind?" She asked. "I've got a
surprise, I'm on my way" and he hung up the
phone. Chuckling, Alexis hung up the phone, oddly excited with the
prospect of having lunch with one Jasper
Jacks. Suddenly a thought hit her. One that stopped the
intelligent attorney in her tracks. And with that thought
came another. Groaning she put her head in her hands
and sinking onto the couch said, "Oh no!! How did
THIS happen?"
