Thank you all for reading and reviewing!


"Will, I…" began Sonny, but was interrupted by Will.

"What? That you are sorry about this? Sonny, could please stop feeling bad about yourself? Things like this happen when… you know… two people get intimate in the backseat of the car…" said Will, smiling and wiggling his eyebrows.

"Ok… it is still painful there?" said Sonny, softly.

"Oh no. I'm fine now. Absolutely! So… come here… and kiss me better" said Will, leaning against the car window and sexily beckoning with his index finger.

Sonny crawled close to Will and started kissing him. During that 10-minute kissing session, Will's hand roughly roamed all over the posterior of Sonny's body. When his hand firmly landed on the small of Sonny's back, Sonny began trembling through the kiss. Upon sensing that, Will gently broke away from the kiss and smiled at the inexperienced doe-eyed beauty.

"I think for over 20 minutes we have been stuck here in the parking lot" said Will.

"Oh yeah!" said Sonny, chuckling and looking around.

"Ok. Shall we go to some restaurant? It's almost dinner time…" said Will, playing with Sonny's hair.

"Ok. But I just want to have a light dinner, as there is a big game tomorrow morning" said Sonny.

"Yeah, I forgot about that. Then… we should probably go the coffee house that one of my college mates owns. The turkey sandwich made there… awesome!" said Will.

"Wow! Then let's go" said Sonny, enthusiastically.


"This is the best sandwich I've ever had! Delicious!" said Sonny, wiping his mouth with a napkin.

"I told you so. Also, I heard that the Irish coffee served here is just… heaven. But sadly, I'll have to wait for 6 more months to have it" said Will.

"Why?... Oh, it contains whiskey…Then, I should wait for another 4 years! Oh gosh!" said Sonny, with a funny face, which made Will laugh out loud.

"You know what? Even tomorrow, you can just walk into a 12th grade classroom like nobody's business" whispered Sonny.

"mhmm… do I look that young?" said Will, cutely wrinkling his nose.

"Oh yeah… With that cherubic face…"said Sonny, as he leaned forward to kiss Will's rosy cheek.

"Thank you!" said Will, with a mushy heart, as he squeezed Sonny's hand.


As Will's car came to a halt near the Kiriakis mansion gate, "So…next week is gonna be too busy for both of us… I have a couple of papers to write... and you have your midterm exams…" said Will, rubbing Sonny's knee.

"Hmm...But we can still talk over phone…at night…And, we can hang out next weekend!" said Sonny, flashing his pearly whites.

"Yes! Can't wait… So… good luck for tomorrow's game!" said Will, before kissing Sonny goodnight.


Will's House

"Hey Allie, had your dinner? Wait… I can smell cheese cake…" said Will, as he entered the house.

"Yes, you are right! Mama Maxine is making it" said Allie, swaying her hips.

And, then a cheerful voice was heard, "Oh somebody's back home!", as a tall Afro-American lady emerged from the kitchen.

Maxine is a kind-hearted 55-year-old spinster who was Will's landlady. Will and Allie had been living in her house for 2 years. The earlier days in this house were emotionally tough for both Will and Allie, as they had to sell their own sprawling bungalow after their father became bankrupt. But Maxine had been supportive of them since then, like a mother. She even insisted them to call her "mama."

"Hey mama! Long time no see…" said Will, smiling brightly.

"Oh boy! I was away to Chicago… to attend Oprah's dinner party… I'm just kidding! Come here you…" said Maxine, laughing loudly, as she strutted forward to hug Will.

"I heard that you are seriously dating someone…" said the big lady, in a gossip mode.

"Yeah, his name is Sonny. And…" said Allie, chirpily, before Will cut her out.

"Dear Allie, could you please be a good girl and wash those dirty plates and cups lying on the dining table?" said Will.

Allie silently went into the kitchen, but not before making a face.

"Yes, mama. He is a very nice guy and I can feel the connection, you know, like I never felt with anyone before …" said Will, shyly.

"I'm glad to hear that, sweetie. What can I say… he is one lucky guy… to have captured the golden heart of Will Horton! God bless you, my child!" said Maxine, as she kissed Will's forehead.


Kiriakis Mansion

Sonny was lying on his bed, reading a novel, when his mom Adrienne knocked on the door.

"Hi mom! I thought you would have been asleep by now" said Sonny.

"No babe. I just came to see how my son his doing…So... how are things?" said Adrienne, as she sat next to Sonny.

"Well, school is fine… we won the last game and tomorrow is another challenge…" said Sonny, resting his head on his mom's shoulder.

"I'm confident that your team will definitely win this time as well!" said Adrienne.

"Thanks mom!" said Sonny.

"So… how are other things? I mean… you seem to be happy dating this person…" said Adrienne.

"Yes, mom. I can't tell you how happy I feel when I'm with Will. He is a great guy!" said Sonny, with twinkling eyes.

"Oh sweetie, I'm happy to hear that! You deserve a very good person in your life… you are my perfect little baby…kind, sweet, confident…And, please remember… your mom will always be there for you" said Adrienne, with tears welling, as she hugged her cub.

"I know, mom" said Sonny, rubbing his mom's shoulder.

But Adrienne eyes had a worried expression, which Sonny couldn't and was unable to read as he was curled up in his mother's warmth.
