This time, it was Sonny's turn to wake up a little late, since he was closing. Will had went in early for work, and Gabi had taken Arianna and went to see Rafe.
As Sonny was making coffee, he still had a vivd memory of last night which brought a huge grin. He knew he wouldn't take back a single time he spent with Will, and there is no reason for him to have those thoughts.
Sonny sat down on the table with his coffee and unrolled the newspaper. He nearly choked when he read the front page. Prisoners escape: Nick Fallon and Vargas had escaped last night and are on the loose. Their whereabouts are unknown and they are considered to be armed.
This turned alarms in Sonny's hand. They had already went through an emotional roller coaster with Nick and Gabi from before. After the divorced had been finalized between them, Nick's involvement with Vargas began. It got to the point where they wanted the same thing, and they weren't going to get it no matter who or what got in the way, even if they had to kill a cop.
Sonny had hoped that Will had not seen it just yet, he had to figure a way to tell him, without him freaking out. Sonny folded the newspaper and got ready for work. He needed to take a few things off his mind, especially what he just found out.
Vic walked into the Pub to wait for his parents, before he went to see Sonny. He hadn't expected to see Will at the counter working.
"I didn't know you worked here." Will lifted his head when he heard a familiar voice.
"Oh, hey Vic. Yeah. I've been working here for my great grandma for almost three years now."
"Wow. I guess business runs in the family." Those who were a Brady, Dimera, or Kiriakis were all in business. It seemed as if it was in their blood to carry on what has been started through generations.
"I know. So what's up?" Will threw a dish towel on his shoulder as he finished wiping the counter top.
"I'm meeting my parents here in a bit before I see Sonny. But I want to ask you a question." Vic's tone turned a bit serious.
"Shoot." They walked over to a table in the corner where no one could hear them. Will didn't know what this was about, but a part of him thought that it was something serious, or someone may have said something to him. Will squirmed in his seat a bit getting a little agitated.
"I'm really happy that you and Sonny are together. But I need you to be honest with me. I heard his side, but I want to hear yours." Will was shocked at his reply.
"I'm sure you know everything Vic. You heard it all from Sonny and you heard it all in the news." Will was about to get up but Vic stopped him.
"I know. But I need you to tell me your side. Everybody's side is always different. I even remember the time Sonny told me how you two broke up after Nick and Gabi's wedding. He was shaken up and didn't want to hear what you had to say. Am I right? But when he called me and told me, I was so upset. I tried to make him see things your way, but I couldn't. And I'm no expert on this, but his voice sounded different and he felt lost. I have never heard him cry that much, especially to someone who he fell in love with so much." Vic sighed heavily.
"Okay. I'm sorry. It's just, I don't think you want to hear about it all." Vic raised his eyebrows with a slight smirk.
"Okay, you asked for it." Will sighed before he told him. He skipped a more than a few things that he didn't want to get into with him, especially about the shooting. Will didn't want to go into too much detail, but he managed without feeling like he was under a microscope.
"Wow. I'm sorry I have been a bit hard on you before. The both of you have been through a lot."
"Yeah. And Sonny has been great with me. I didn't think that he would stay with me this long you know?"
"I understand. He's the kind of guy that commits. And I'm glad that he has you."
"Really?" Will was surprised at his remark. He didn't that Sonny's brothers are so accepting of them both. Will knew that it took time for his brothers to accept who he is. Especially Vic, he had a rough time and they fought. That was one of the reason why Sonny had left everything behind to travel.
"Yeah. We weren't that great from before, but now that we're here, we just want to get closer to Sonny again and to get to know you better."
"I would like to get to know you guys better as well. He has told me a lot about the three of you. And it's nice that you're all here."
"That, and it's almost Christmas." Vic laughed.
Justin and Adrienne stood outside the Pub watching Vic getting along with Will. They walked in a few minutes later and walked towards the table and the conversation has made a different turn from there.
"Hey mom, dad." Vic got up from the chair.
"What were you two talking about?" Adrienne quipped.
"Oh, just catching up that's all." He look from them both.
"Let's have a seat. Care to join us Will?" Justin asked.
"Thank you, but I have to get back to work." Will smiled.
While the three of them were having lunch, Will stole a few glances towards them. This was the first time that he felt a close connection to them. And maybe today might be the day that he will go for it.
Will waited ten minutes after Vic left and walked to the table. He sighed heavily knowing that this was it and he had to go for it.
"How was your lunch?" Will asked trying to make a conversation before he got it going.
"It was great as always thank you. I actually have to get to a meeting with a client in five minutes." Justin said and got up and pulled out his wallet to pay.
"Um, before he you guys leave though, there is something that I have to tell you."
"Okay."
"I'm off in an hour and would it be possible if you could meet me in the Square?" Will could feel his nerves building.
"Of course. We will be there." Adrienne smiled and hugged him before they left.
"Thank you." So many things were rushing in his head now. He wasn't sure if he could do it. Just breathe. He thought.
Vic made his way into the coffeehouse and saw that Joey and Alex were already there.
"What took you so long?" Alex exclaimed.
"I met up with Will at the Pub."
"And?" Sonny's eyes went wide and sounded eager.
"He's an amazing guy that's all I can say."
"That's the guy I fell in love with. Can I let you all in a secret?" Sonny smiled.
"No!" They all exclaimed.
"Fine then. I was just going to say that he's hot. But whatever." Sonny laughed at them and went back to work the counter for a few minutes. He had forgotten all about that morning. He was glad that he did, because he didn't want to linger on all that anger and depression mode. Even, not with his brothers and not on a good day like this which might get even better.
When Will walked into the Square, all he could think about is how nervous he's getting. Will is the type not to express his emotions, and when he did, it sounded a lot better spoken than hidden in his thoughts. Each step he took, took him a closer to what he had hoped for.
Justin and Adrienne were sitting at one of the tables in the Square and saw Will coming closer to them. They were hoping that they didn't have to dread the worst. It was now or never.
"Hi." Will cleared his throat and sat down.
"Is everything okay Will?" Justin asked in worry.
"Uh, everything is great. But there is something that I have to ask you. The both of you." Will took his time and breathed heavily before he found the right words.
