Emily watched as Jason and Sam left she just smiled and looked at Sonny. "They are so happy and lucky too. My brother is one in a million, and so is she" Emily smiled going up the stairs to wash up.
"So are you" Sonny smiled hugging Emily from behind and kissing her shoulder. He followed her up the stairs to the bathroom, and she took the first aid kit out. "Here let me do that" Sonny said bringing the alcohol out. Emily sat on the toilet and looked at Sonny.
"Why did you lie to me?" Emily asked.
"Because I wanted to take care of you. I love you Em, and if anything happened to you because of me I would never forgive myself. Then there was Jason, I couldn't do that to him." Sonny said explaining himself. He put some alcohol on a cotton ball and began to clean the back of her head first. Emily made a noise like she was in pain, Sonny just laughed. "Oh come on doctor, you're stronger than that." He said smiling. After he was done with the cut on her head he began to clean her lip that was still bleeding a little bit.
"You need a new cotton ball" Emily said smiling looking at the red cotton ball.
"Whatever you say doctor" Sonny smiled. He finished cleaning her cuts and scrapes in silence and they just looked at each other. "I'm sorry for what happened to you tonight. I promise that Manny will pay." He leaned over to where her face was and gently kissed her lips. She smiled at him and looked at his eyes.
"What?" Emily asked.
"You are so beautiful, and you are so unbelievable wonderful." He kissed her harder and he stood up with Emily in his arms, still kissing her.
He stopped abruptly and Emily's heart sank. 'Is he going to reject me?' she thought to herself. Sonny looked at her eyes, he saw the fear of rejection in them and he laughed. "No I'm not rejecting you, come on let me go tuck you in" Sonny said. They both headed to the guest room and Emily went into her own bathroom to change into her pajamas. Sonny waited for her on the couch besides her fireplace. When Emily came out she looked more beautiful than before Sonny thought. She was wearing a fitted tank top, with baggy flannel pants. Her hair was loose and she had no makeup on, but looked just the same with it on and off. "Hey pretty girl" Sonny smiled at her.
"Hi handsome" she said getting under the covers. "Come keep me warm." Sonny headed to her bed, he only took off his suit jacket and jumped into the bed. He spooned her and she turned around. She began to kiss him.
"Stop we promised Jason" he said.
"No, you promised my brother, not me. Besides you said I would stay in my room, you never said anything about you having to stay in your room!" She laughed and so did he.
"You little…" Sonny said kissing her. He stopped and looked into her chocolate brown eyes. "I think we shouldn't rush this." Sonny said his gaze going down to her lips.
"I agree, I just don't want you to leave tonight." Emily said kissing the side of his neck.
"Well, I'll be right back then." Sonny left and took a couple minutes to come back. He had on his black silk pajamas. He closed the door behind him and locked it. He took the top off and only had the bottoms on when he jumped into bed the second time. Emily hugged him and looked straight into his eyes.
"You know" She began to say. "You would be the first man, since my rape and that scares me, Sonny."
Sonny exhaled a long sigh and looked at her. She had been so hurt and she had been through so much that he just wanted to protect her from everything, including himself. "Emily, I would never make you do something that you don't want to do…" Sonny began to say but Emily cut him off.
"No, no I'm not saying this because I'm scared of you; I'm saying this because I want you to know that you're special to me. I'm also asking for your patience" Emily finished.
"You don't have to ask anything from me you know. I know what you need and I will always take care of you." Sonny said kissing her forehead and wiping tears that he noticed were coming from her eyes. She smiled at him and kissed the tip of his nose. With that she closed her eyes and started to fall asleep. Sonny held her all night but couldn't sleep.
The next morning Jason walked into Sonny's house to find him at his desk. He was still in his robe and he was looking at paper work. "Hey" Jason said coming in. Jason was already in his jeans and leather jacket. Sonny looked up at him and Jason could tell that he was upset.
"Hey" Sonny said. "How'd you sleep?" Sonny asked looking at his best friend.
"Well after I finally got Sam to stop bothering me about the bubble bath thing," Jason said joking. "I was good and had a good night. You don't look like you had a good one" Jason said concerned. "You looked troubled, is it Emily?" Jason asked.
Sonny looked at him and didn't know what to tell Jason. He felt weird talking to him about his sister, but he had no one else. "Emily told me last night that I would be the first man for her since her rape." Sonny told Jason.
Jason felt a little awkward talking about this with Sonny but he knew that Sonny needed him at this moment. "Does it bother you?" Jason asked getting a little defensive.
"No! Of course not. It bothers me that she was raped in the first place. Jason, if anything happens to her, I will never forgive myself and I don't expect you to forgive me either. I am going to make sure that Manny doesn't even look at her anymore. I want him dead. I know how you felt now when Manny tried to rape Sam, in front of you. When Manny touched her I wanted to kill him right then and there." Sonny laid his head back on his chair and exhaled. "I couldn't sleep all night. I kept thinking about Emily, and a dream that I had before. Manny killed her, and…"
"Alright stop it Sonny," Jason put his hands up in the air motioning him to stop talking. "Emily might be with you now, but she is still my sister, and I'll be damned if Manny goes near her. I will protect Emily like I have all these years, and if anything happens to her it will be on both of us. I will take care of her like I have before you began to have feeling for her" Jason said, telling Sonny in other words that he had the situation under control. "Where's Emily now?" asked Jason looking up the stairs.
"She's still sleeping" Sonny said, remembering how he held her all night.
"So is Sam, if we're going to act we need to do it know while their still sleeping, because then come the questions and the worries and we don't need that" Jason said.
"Alright just give me five minutes and then we'll leave to finish what we started" Sonny said going upstairs.
