The next day I woke up and my neck was in so much pain. It didn't take long for the memories from yesterday to flood my mind. I still couldn't believe that someone was going to try to kill me so he could get away with another murder. Slowly standing, I made it to the bathroom and pulled out the bottle of pain reliever and poured three out in my palm. Swallowing was going to be difficult for a while so I had to swallow each pill individually so that I wouldn't end up choking on them.

Today I planned to head over to Brian's apartment because I knew that he would be in pain today. Not just because he got drunk last night but because he was still upset about the breakup. I slowly put on my clothes because you don't realize how much you use part of your body until it hurts. Like I didn't realize how much neck muscles you use to put on clothes.

When I was finally dressed I went to my bedside table and picked up my wallet. As I was putting it in my pants I suddenly remembered that I had a bodyguard now. How could I have forgotten about that delicious man? Maybe the trauma of almost being strangled to death must have worn me out. Oh well, I remember him now and it was time for me to turn on my flirtatious side.

I stepped out of my room and there he was. Standing outside my door in the same black suit; I smiled at him and winked, "How long have you been standing there?"

"Since 7:00 this morning, I replaced the guy who was on the night shift."

So there was someone watching over me at night. I didn't think Will would stand outside my door all the time since he had to eat and sleep sometime during the day but I wasn't sure. I smiled my best smile as I walked closer. "So what exactly are you going to do as my bodyguard?"

I saw Will swallow heavily but that was the only clue that told me I was affecting him. He scanned the hallway, probably to make sure there was no one around to attack me. When his eyes fell back on me I was composed again. "I am just going to follow you everywhere you go. If you are going somewhere I would suggest you have someone drive you around so that I can be available to protect you at all times."

Seeing that I wasn't going to get anywhere with him right now, I just nodded my head and stepped back. "Well I was going to go visit a friend of mine because he really needs a friend right now."

I turned to leave and I could feel and hear him follow behind me. This arrangement was going to be awkward for awhile, but I knew that in no time I wouldn't think about it anymore.

It was weird to have my parent's chauffer drive me to my friend's apartment but Will suggested that it was the best thing to do right now so I complied. Once the car pulled up in front of Brian's apartment I had to wait while Will stepped out first and took a look around to make sure that nothing was suspicious. When he was done checking our surroundings he gestured for me to come out of the car.

As I stepped out, I purposely did it close to him and whispered, "You are making me hot with how thoroughly you are protecting me."

Will kept his eyes straight ahead but he did suck in a breath and stepped away from me. I smiled at him before I walked to Brian's apartment. Of course his apartment was on the top floor so I had to walk up a few flights of stairs. Once I reached his door, I knocked and waited for Brian to answer. Finally after a few more knocks and me threatening to come in there to dump a bucket of ice on him he opens the door for me. Brian's hair was sticking up all over the place and his eyes were swollen and blood shot. He leaned against the door frame and squinted at the light coming in through the hallway window. He frowned angrily at me, "Why are you bothering me Sonny? Don't you get that I need to rest?"

He was always cranky during a hangover, so I just pushed past him into the apartment. I didn't look to see if Will followed or not, but I was sure that he did. It didn't take long for Brian to understand that I wasn't going to leave so he went into the kitchen and brought out water bottles for the both of us. When he handed it to me he finally looked up and his eye shifted to look over my shoulder. He looked confused and turned his eyes on me, "Who is this guy?"

He pointed over to Will and I turned to look at him and winked, "He is my stalker."

When I looked back at Brian he looked shocked and tried to grab my arm, "Why did you bring a stalker here? They can be dangerous."

I laugh, "Wow Brian, I forgot how slow you are when you are hung over. I was just kidding. He isn't a stalker; he's my bodyguard."

He relaxed for second before he tensed again, "Why do you need a bodyguard?"

I sighed. "Do you remember anything from last night?" When he shook his head I explained to him all that happened last night with the murderer.

After I was done, Brian was sitting on his couch and scowling at the floor. "You could have died and I wouldn't have been able to do anything about it. I am so sorry for not being a good friend last night."

"Why do you think you were being a bad friend last night?"

"Because I have been so focused on me and my breakup, I haven't been there for you. I know that I was being selfish." He rubbed his eyes and then looked at me apologetically, "I am so sorry."

I rubbed his shoulder, "You were not being selfish. I was there for you to help you get through this just like I know you would do for me."

He nods his head, "I guess you're right, but I still feel guilty."

I knew that no matter what I said it wasn't going to make him feel better, so I just moved on to a different topic.

Brian and I talked like we normally did, but we both were aware of Will being in the same room. I don't know how long Brian and I talked before I noticed that Will was trying to subtly move from side to side. At first I had no idea what he was doing when I realized that he probably had to go to the bathroom. I gave Will a wicked smile, "You know that you can go to the bathroom if you need to. You won't be lacking in your duties if you were to leave for a minute to relieve yourself."

Will nodded at me before he practically ran for the bathroom. Once the door I was shut I looked over at Brian and he was looking at me curiously, "So what is the story with him?"

"I already told you."

He shook his head, "No, I mean about that look you just gave him. That wasn't a normal look someone gives their bodyguard. So, I am asking again. What is the story with him?"

I smiled, "I think that he looks delicious and I want to be with him, but he is serious about this job. Every time I flirt I can tell that it affects him somehow but he doesn't reveal much, so I am not sure if he is uncomfortable or if he is attracted to me as well."

"I don't know, but I think that just keep doing what you are doing and eventually you will get your answer."

"You're right. I will let you know as soon as I know." I smiled at him.

He grinned back. "I am so glad that you know me so well." We both laugh at that but instantly stopped when Will steps out of the bathroom. He looks at us for a second, probably wondering why we were acting weird, before he moved back to his spot and resumed his position.

(Will's POV)

Later on that day, we finally made our way back to Sonny's place and I was exhausted. It wasn't from Sonny's constant flirting but it seemed that whenever Sonny and Brian were together they couldn't stop moving. First they went out to eat and then they went to a movie, which wasn't that busy so it made my job easy. But the most nerve racking of all the places they went to was when they went to the local rock climbing business. The place was really busy and there would be times that I lost sight of Sonny. I almost had a heart attack, but then I caught sight of him again and that was when I stood next him the whole time, unless he was climbing a wall.

I walked behind Sonny with my back straight so that no one knew how tired I was. The walk up the stairs felt like it took forever but I knew that was all in my head. After the long walk up the stairs and down the hall we were finally at our bedrooms. My replacement was already standing by Sonny's door and I was completely relieved.

Once Sonny was standing in front of his door, he turned around and gave me the same heated look he has been giving me all day. "Well it looks like you are off the clock until tomorrow morning. What are you going to do with yourself?"

I could tell that the question had more meaning to it but I ignored it and his look, "I was actually going to get some sleep. I haven't done that much activity in a long time." I nodded my head once at Sonny before turning around and going into my assigned room.

**To be continued**
