Chapter 8 Sonny was laying awake all night long reeling from Wills news and his revelations to him. William Horton today is the day. I do not know why is has taken me almost two years now but today is the day. Will started stirring in his arms he had fallen asleep to the sound of Sonny's heartbeat that is one of Wills favorite things to do falling asleep in Sonny's arms listening to his heartbeat. Sonny knew that has always been .Wills favorite position and it was Sonny's too to go to sleep holding Will and waking up With ills blond hair tickling his nose it was just as natural for them as breathing. Sonny was stroking Wills hair as always it just seems like that is an automatic thing for him and truth be known Will had woken up allot over the past two years to Sonny aimlessly stroking his hair and it was like at that very moment there was nothing bad in the world and everything was just perfect as he would lay there listening to Sonny's heartbeat and feeling him aimlessly stroking his hair. Will started to stir in Sonny's arms. Babe I am sorry did I wake you? No honey I have been awake for hours . And I know that you haven't been asleep that long or if any at all. What makes you think that Babe? Because Honey I could feel you stroking my hair and by the sound of your heartbeat. I am sorry Babe it is just that all of this has just thrown me off kilter a bit and I think that I am still in shock from everything. I know honey and I am not sure if I need to apologize or exactly what I should do but the only thing that I know is that I am very at peace with every choice that I have made and I just hope that in some way the holdings that I got for you will help HOL. I hope you understand that it has all been done because I love you so much and I want HOL to be the very best and the most exclusive fashion house in the business where everyone who hears HOL knows that you built it from its conception and that you are the one who has taken it to levels unlike any other design house in the world. I have only gone by what other people had told me was up for grabs and so I used a little BS knowledge on them and I held on to them until the right time to give them to you I just never knew exactly when that would be until the France deal came up for grabs and I went in first and I went in hard as for the rest I do not know of anything else that I have done except the France deal has made one bit of difference but Honey you are HOL. Sonny kissed Will and he felt a sudden jerk he was very concerned. Babe are you OK? Yes Honey why? Your whole body just jerked did you not know that? I am sorry Honey no I had no idea. I guess it was just one of those odd things that just happen some times. I don't know Babe. Well I don't know and you don't know and that was the only time it happened so I don't think that there is very much to worry about. Babe that is not the first time it happened. What come on Honey I am sure that things like that has happened to everyone at one point or another. Babe I am telling you that it happened twice last night. Will sighed and said just one more thing to add to the William Horton Collection of what the hell now? Babe do you feel OK? No worse than I have been feeling for the past two and a half months now. What time is it Honey? Sonny reached over to his nightstand and looked at his phone and said Babe it is almost 7AM . You know Honey I think that I have to have an internal alarm clock that goes off every morning because every morning I am awake long before you just laying there listening to your heart beat and when you wake up your hand automatically run through my hair as you are holding me and I feel like as long as I am in that position there is nothing that can hurt me and I feel so loved and so safe in your arms listening to your heartbeat. Well Honey my appointment is at 8:30 I guess we better get up. Yes Babe I am afraid so. GRRRRRRR! Sonny laughed and said Babe I have always loved it when you growl and grunt because you dread doing something. I guess over the years you either learn to love it or just get used to it because God knows that you have heard me growl and grunt too many times to count especially in the bullpin and Babe I have heard a few other things coming from you in the bullpin and they had nothing to do with growling and grunting lets just say that its a good thing that I don't have virgin ears that get easily offended. Oh mu gosh am I that bad Honey? No Babe but let someone screw up down there and trust me you do tend to lose your temper. It takes a whole lot to cause you to do that so I know that someone is in deep trouble and soon after I get a full detailed report and their pink slip to sign. I hate doing that it is the worst part of the job but after you have given them warnings and written them up so many times or at least I do wait to lose my religion but never in front of the rest of the employees and it is normally in your office with reports in hand. I know Babe. I know that you have saw me lose my religion allot more than you have lost yours because you are normally there to referee and defuse the situation because you have the patients of job with me and you can calm me down no matter how angry that I get and so you do the explaining from the reports and tell them exactly what they did wrong. Me on the other hand I am about to jump over the desk and rip them a new one. I know honey especially if a special order was completely screwed up because they really made a mess of things and it has to be scrapped a redone and out in a very short span of time. I think that we maybe the only Fashion house to give our employees a voice and to allow them to pitch out design ideas too. Once in a while not very often but once in a while I can see from the bullpin that Greek temper about to go off on someone and then I step in and- Babe whats wrong ? Nothing Honey don't worry about it we just have to get up and get ready for my appointment. William Horton don't even try to snow me. What is wrong? Nothing Honey really come on and lets get up. Will rolls off of Sonny and Sonny looks at Will and he says . Horton you will tell me whats wrong because I know you all too well for you to try to snow me but we will revisit this conversation later. Honey it is fine please just drop it there is nothing to talk about OK? No Will I am not dropping it and no its not OK but we will talk about it. Do you understand. We cant talk about anything when there is nothing to discuss. William! OK OK OK you want to play this game fine but I know better and so do you. Sonny sat up on the side of the bed and Will slowly sat up and as Sonny was almost around the corner of the bed Will started to stand up and suddenly Sonny saw that Will was about to pass out and he ran to Will and caught him before he hit the floor . Sonny called to Will several times and then Will came to and he was dazed and he very confused he was trying to focus and gather his barrings and he said what happened? Babe you passed out I caught you before you hit the floor now do you know what happened? Will looked really confused and said I have no idea unless I got up too fast Honey. Babe are you sure? Honey right now no but we have to get to the doctors appointment I don't even have time for a shower let me get up and wash my face and get my clothes on and then I will be ready. Will tried to get up but he was tangled in the bed clothes and almost fell and Will yelled out DAMN IT TO HELL! Sonny just said.. Hold on Babe you are all tangled up here lets see if we cant get you out of this mess. Wills head started hurting really bad and he bent down trying to untangle the sheets and he was trying to stay really calm but every time he moved his head felted like he was getting hit by a lead pipe and he almost toppled to the floor but slowly he got himself untangled from the bed cloths. Sonny was watching Will and he went to the bathroom and didn't even turn on the light and he got a cloth and washed his face brushed his teeth and kind of brushed through his hair. Honey are you ready? Babe sit down please for just a minuet Sonny said in a soft and gentle voice and he said Babe Your head is really hurting bad isn't it? Will did not answer but tears came to his eyes and he said yes it does I was about to take something for it. Why didn't you just tell me and I would have gotten it for you? That is exactly why! Babe I don't understand. I know you don't understand Honey and neither do I and never mind. I don't know what I am saying or trying to say I am sorry Honey. I am sorry . Hey Babe no I think that you do but that it hurts to bad to talk about it. Honey can we just go we do not have time for all of this. OK Babe. Wills foot slipped as he was going down the steps Sonny said Babe are you OK? Will said yeah I'm OK. and he tried to carefully get down the steps and then to the door he hit his knee on the corner of the coffee table and Sonny knew what was happening to cause Wills bad mood and he just walked up beside him put his arms around him and he said Babe I love you so much I am here no mater what we will get through everything together. Sonny was helping Will to the car and Will Suddenly started shaking and started crying. Will said... Honey I cant do it! Sonny stopped and he looked at Will and said... BABE ARE YOU OK? Honey please just help me to the car please just help me to the car because I can not make it there. Baby I am going to help you but I need you to please tell me are you OK? Damn it I don't know just get me to the damned car and help me sit down before I fall on my face! Sonny just said... Honey you need me to help you well here it comes. Sonny picked Will up and sat him down gently into the seat and Will was trying to find the buckle of the seat belt so he could put it on but he was reaching every where except where it was and Sonny was almost in tears but he knew that he had to be strong for Will although he was really scared for Will. Sonny handed Will the seat belt and Will was shaking so bad that he could not buckle it up and Sonny asked Will... Babe may I do it for you because you are shaking so bad that you are having such a hard time is that OK? Yes I really do your help Honey I do need your help! I need you! I need you so much and I love you so much Honey! Can you tell what is wrong then? Honey I cant see anything every thing is a blurry shadow and my head is hurting worse than it ever has in my life and it is hurting so bad that I literally can not do anything! I am shaking so bad that I feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. Babe do you need to go to the hospital instead of your eye appointment? No Honey We need to go there and see if this may be something that is going on there with my eyes first. Honey I am not going to lie to you I am terrified right now and you may need to help me inside. But please do not carry me although I do not mind it myself others may think that you are crazy. Babe I don't give a damned what anyone thinks because I am going to carry you push you hold you whatever you need for me to do!v If you need my help I am going to do it because you are my husband and if you need me to carry push drag whatever you need for me to do I am going to do it! Will sat there and he was quiet for a minuet Sonny said... Babe did I say something wrong? Are you OK because you have a very strange look on your face and you have been so quiet. Will softly said no Honey you did not say anything wrong but did you realize what you just said? Before you say yes just think very hard about what you said just now. Oh Babe you mean the husband part? Will said yes Honey I mean the husband part. We only talked about that the day that I came out and told you my true feelings for you and you never mentioned it before . Was it only a slip up or was there more meaning behind it? William Robert Horton I knew exactly what I said and I mean it a piece of paper does not mean a damned thing but make it legal! I am all for that too but I love you so much that a husband on paper could not even start to show my love like I have for you. There is not anyone else who has ever loved a man any more than I have loved anyone ever than I love you! I have loved you for so long we will be married but in your time but until then we are husbands in every way with or without papers! Honey I know that but this seems like it has came out of the blue but if you have been waiting on me to say something about it I am so sorry that I have not said anything before now and as you know everything I have ever done in my life was to give you the opportunity to one day see that I have always had your back and that I have always loved you and I always will and I do want to revisit this topic but for right now we need to get into that office and talk to him about my eyes so we will know what is going on. Babe you are right stay right here and I will ask about a wheelchair. Sonny walked up to the window and he softly says excuse me but do you happen to have a wheelchair that we can borrow? Yes we do when you walk out of the door it will be on your its probably hidden behind the fake tree again that cleaning lady never puts it back where it is supposed to be. I am sorry if she did that. Sonny said oh and yes Will Horton is here for his appointment and he has an emergency can he be seen right now? Let me see we just opened the office and if he is in I will ask him if he can see Mr. Horton now fore the other appointments get here for the day. Thank you nurse . Sonny got to the car and helped Will sit down and the nurse said Mr. Horton Dr Taruson will see you now. Sir if you will have a seat and wait he will be out soon. Excuse me not to be rude but I am going back with him. Yes he is going back with me I have no secrets from him.
