Goodnight My Love
Part Six
Stepping out of a shower that had washed away the grime of the working day. Rebecca rubbed her hair with a towel as she sat down on the couch. Next to her was a table that held her phone and message machine. The light was blinking showing she a single message. Pressing the button she found herself humming as the machine rewind and clicked.
"It's me," Sonny's voice sounded tired. " Give me a call."
Grabbing the phone she dialed his work and got his machine. " Since this is machine and not you, I'll try your pager." Ending the call she counted to ten and dialed his pager. It was useless to sit and wait for him to call her back, so she paced. Minutes later her phone rang and she jumped.
"Hi there." His voice sounded cheerful. " I was hoping you would call me."
"I was in the shower when you called." She said and felt her toes curl up with delight.
"Oh really?" He teased in a throaty voice. Giggles that would not stay down bubbled up from her and he chuckled. " It's good to hear you laugh." There was a shuffling of papers as he closed the file. " What do you say to meeting me for dinner?"
"I'd say...." She paused and then laughed, "Yes of course, anything for a man in blue."
"I'll be there in twenty minutes." He said, hanging up he grabbed his coat and left the office. For the first time in hours he felt okay with the world. As he crossed the foyer his happiness shattered as he met up with his Sire. "Something wrong Julian?"
"You seem extremely pleased with something Sonny." The Prince regarded him with dark eyes. " I saw John did he say something good for a change?"
"Not especially. The basic doom and gloom stuff, same as always." Sonny frowned at the look he got. " What Julian? You've never had any reason to not trust me."
The Prince shook his head. " It's not that Sonny. I trust you more then anyone else I have. But I am concerned over this sudden change in your behavior. There is a very serious threat and I want to know I can count on you."
"You just said you could!" Sonny snapped, " Look Julian, I am happy. It has been too long since I have ever been so happy." He glared at the man in front of him. "You have Caitlin, why can't I have someone?"
The Prince flinched a little and took a step back. " You are right Sonny, I am sorry. Have a good night."
The door to his office closed as Julian left and Sonny closed his eyes for a moment. Fighting with his Sire was not something he liked doing. Especially when their lives were in potential danger. Shrugging off the thoughts he left the compound and got into his car. Leaving the mansion behind he headed toward Rebecca's apartment. Not noticing the car that followed him.
