Today was just like every other day Sonny Monroe came to Spartan Wood Park, a local national park just about two miles from her apartment complex. The twenty year old Starbucks barista sat comfortably under the shade of a large oak tree, just like she did every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. It was almost 6 o'clock now, so the sun was beginning to set. She patiently waited as she fiddled with the sleeves of her thin navy blue hoodie that she bought at Aeropostale. Off in the distance she could hear what she had been waiting for. She grew anxious, and bit her bottom lip as her heart rate picked up.

From deep within the national park's nature trail came a booming cadence. "Left! Left! Lefty! Righty! Left!" a smile tugged at the corners of Sonny's lips as a group of Army soldiers came jogging from behind the tree line of the nature trial out into the clearing of Spartan Wood Park. Each of the service members had on a grey shirt that read 'ARMY' across the chest in big black capital letters. The group was four across and four deep, a total of 16 soldiers running in formation. "Mission Top Secret, destination unknown!" The military members chanted as they followed the paved pathway through the grassy park. "Don't even know if were coming home!" Miss Monroe only had eyes for one soldier. "Blood, tears, sex, and danger!" Sonny doesn't know the soldier's rank, name, or even where the soldier was from. "That's the living of a Rescue Ranger!" All the twenty year old knew was that every Tuesday and Thursday that beautiful soldier would be here, at this park, at this time, running. So, Sonny came here just to see her.

A new Jodie had begun as the group approached the sitting brunette. "Momma told Sally not to go downtown!" Sonny purposely chose the oak tree next to the gravel path, just so she could get a good look at the mystery soldier she grew so enamored with over the past month. "Too many Rangers hangin around!" As the mystery soldier, aka Alex Russo, came closer Sonny could see her skin glistening from her sweat. "Sally didn't listen, and she went anyway! Didn't come home till the very next day!"

Alex Russo's dark chestnut, almost black hair was pulled back into a pony tail, and it bounced freely as she ran. Sonny watched the stunning twenty-five year old soldier as she jogged passed her. Sonny always wanted to talk to the unknown soldier, but never once was graced with the opportunity. This was the only time she ever saw Alex Russo… and it was only for a short 35 seconds. That's all.

…

That next day Sonny was up at Starbuck's doing her job, taking a customer's order. "What can I get for you today?" The brunette asked, putting forth her best smile.

"Um.. I'll have a Grande Caramel Moca." The young man replied with a smile of his own as he placed the menu down on the table top.

"Great!" Sonny said after writing the order down. "I'll be back shortly with your order." She said beaming with politeness.

From behind the counter her best friend watched her take the young man's order. The man was quite gorgeous. Everything you could want in a man, physically at least cause she really didn't know him, but he was seriously attractive. "Ooh Sonny." Tawny cooed as Sonny approached the counter to turn in the order. "He's sexy." The blonde said just in time to catch the young man checking out her co-worker's backside. "And, he's totally checking you out!" she squealed.

The 20 year old brunette rolled her eyes. "Tawni stop it." She practically whined in annoyance. Tawni was always trying to hook Sonny up. She was the only one that knew Sonny was bisexual, so she even tried matching her up with a few girls she knew. But, for some reason Sonny would never agree to go out with anyone Tawni set her up with.

"Come on." Tawni defended. "When was the last time you had sex?" The blonde quizzed. Sonny just looked down at her notepad. "Right. That's what I thought. You could use a good bang."

"I don't need a good bang. I'm fine thank you." Sonny shot back. "Besides.. it hasn't been that long." She said ripping off the order and handing it to Tawni.

The blonde took the piece of paper. "Mm hmm. Hasn't been that long, huh?" She taunted knowing fairly well it had been almost a year now.

The brunette scoffed. "Oh my god! Just get me the order already!" she said exasperated. "Please."

"Ok. Ok." Tawni said giving in.

As Sonny was waiting for Tawni to make her customers icy caffeine beverage, she glanced back over to the young man who was patently waiting for his order. 'He is pretty cute.. ok, who am I kidding. He's really cute. Oh shoot. He saw me watching him. No. Crap. Oh wait he smiled at me. Aww.' Sonny thought as she smiled back at the fit man. Then her eyes caught sight of something, or more like someone walking outside. 'it cant be'. She thought to herself.

The twenty year old brunette froze. "Here." Tawni said with the drink in her hand. "Sonny?" Tawni called out.

Sonny felt her heart rate skyrocket as the mystery soldier entered the Starbucks shop. She immediately spun around to face the counter. "Oh my god." The brunette said breathing heavily.

Tawni was utterly confused. "What?" she quizzed. "Why are you freaking out?"

Sonny took a quick peak over her shoulder and saw the woman she watched twice a week run through the park glancing around the shop as if she were looking for someone. "That girl." Sonny said turning her attention back to Tawni as she tried to get a hold of herself.

"What about her?" the blonde asked, but then it hit her. "Ohhh.. you like her?"

Sonny began nervously picking at her pastel pink nail polish. "Maybe.. I don't know.. I've never talked to her before." She said fidgeting.

"Well now's your chance." Tawni said extending the drink out to her co-worker. "Apparently she knows Mr. gorgeous over there." She said nodding in his direction.

"I can't." Sonny told her friend. She was just too panicky to function. With her luck she would drop the drink, either that or spill it on something, or worse, someone.

"No. you're doing this." Tawni demanded. "You need to get laid. I don't care which one you chose to bang, but pick one." She said aggressively placing the drink down for Sonny to take.

"I'm not going to bang one!" Sonny whisper yelled so that Tawni would get the point, and the customers in the coffee shop wouldn't hear their not so appropriate discussion.

"Hey Tim." Alex greeted her friend, also known as Mr. Gorgeous according to Tawni, as she sat down.

"Hey Russo." Tim replied. "Man, I don't know why you liked the desert so much. It was way too hot over there for my taste."

Alex just shook her head. Yeah it was hot, it was scorching hot, but Alex was in love with her job. "I had some unfinished business to attend to over there." She said as she picked up a drink menu.

"Like what?" Tim pried. He knew Alex had a Confidential clearance, and he knew that she knew tons more about what was really happening over there then he did. "What kind of shit did you blow up?"

"I'm not E.O.D." Alex stated as she scanned the beverages they had. "Is there anything here without caffeine, holy shit."

"Um. Here's your order." Sonny said as she approached the table. Her hands trembling, something Alex picked up on immediately. Her training made her very observant. She was always aware of her surroundings, even when she didn't have to be. It formed into a natural habit. "One Grande Caramel Moca." The nervous brunette said, placing the chilled plastic cup down.

"Why are you so nervous?" Alex asked looking up to the unknown barista's eyes.

"Uh.. me?" Sonny responded with a question, while pointing at herself confusedly.

"Yes. You." Alex said. "Are you alright?"

"Mmhm." Sonny nodded. She could feel a lump start to form in her throat, and her hands weren't only shanking but they were becoming clammy as well. "Is there anything I c-could get you?" She stuttered as she retrieved her notepad and pen from her apron.

Alex shot her fellow soldier, and friend a look. Tim shrugged, he didn't know what was up with their waitress. "Do you have anything without caffeine in it?"

"Yeah." Sonny replied as she took a step closer to the mystery soldier she watched run in the park by her apartment. "We have a variety of teas, not to mention we can make almost any drink decaf." She said pointing at certain places on the menu. "I personally am a fan of hot chocolate." Sonny finished. She felt relieved that she managed not to stutter.

"Then I'll take that." Alex said closing up the drink menu.

"Hot chocolate?" Sonny asked just to be sure.

"Yes ma'am."

When Alex looked up at Sonny, Sonny felt her nerves kick back on. She wrote the order down on her note pad. "O-okay. I'll be right back with your order." She said desperately trying to avoid eye contact.

The waitress turned on her heels to give the order to Tawni, but Alex stopped her. "Sonny!" the soldier called out.

Sonny stopped dead in her tracks, and clenched her eyes shut tight. 'How does she know my name..' she thought to herself. She reopened her eyes and turned around to face her customers. "Yeah?" she said with a polite slightly forced smile.

"Can you get me some cake to?"

"Yeah, sure." She replied. "What kind?"

Alex shrugged. "I don't know. Whichever is your favorite."

Sonny nodded her head, and resumed her walk back to the counter. "How'd it go?" Tawni asked excitedly.

Sonny huffed and slapped her notepad down on the counter. "I think I'm going to have an anxiety attack." She said lowly.

Tawni glanced over at Tim and Alex's table. "How do you know her?" the blonde asked her co-worker.

"I don't." the brunette barista replied. "I don't even know her name."

"I see." Tawni said as a plan developed in her brain. "Don't worry. I'll handle this." The blonde said patting Sonny's hand as she walked out from behind the counter.

"What are you doing?" Sonny said panic struck. "Tawni!" she shouted when the blonde didn't halt.

"Seriously Russo. You gotta let me know some of the crazy shit you Rangers do out there." Tim said, still trying to get some information out of his friend.

Alex just chuckled at her friend. "Well maybe you shouldn't have signed up for Medical Admin, and maybe your ass could've been out there doing this shit first hand." She told him. "Damn, Tim you know I cant release that kind of information."

"Excuse me." Tawni said interrupting the soldiers' conversation. "My friend over there." She said pointing back where she left Sonny. "She thinks you're really h-" she was cut off by Sonny's hand covering her mouth.

"Haha sorry." Sonny laughed nervously. "She's part of our special ed program." She said as Tawni licked her hand. "Ew!" Sonny shrieked.

"As I was saying." Tawni said shooting Sonny a glare. "My friend right here, happens to find you-"

"Tawni!" Sonny shouted, grabbing the blonde's arm in the process. "Can I talk to you over there. Please." She demanded.

The two military members exchanged another knowing look. "The cool shit always happens to you." Tim said looking at Alex.

Alex smirked, letting Tim know she was going to have fun with this. "Um, Tawni what was it you wanted to tell me?"

Sonny covered her face with her hands. "Please, god." She grumbled.

"Right." She said turning her attention back to the woman at the table. "My friend here thinks you're hot and wants to get in your pants."

Alex was shocked at the bluntness of Tawni's statement, but didn't let it show. Truth be told Alex hadn't had sex for months. She had just gotten back from deployment two months ago, and during her time overseas she didn't have time to try to get any. "You can tell your friend.. that I would be more than happy to take her out to dinner because I happen to think she's stunning." Alex replied. She wasn't normally a forward person, but judging by the blush appearing on her waitress's cheeks it was clear she did in fact find Alex attractive.

At Alex's words Sonny slowly dropped her hands from her face. "See, she thinks you're hot too." Tawni stated.

"Sonny why don't you have a seat." Alex said pulling a chair out for her. "Let's talk a little."
