The light in Alicia's room was really pretty, it had these eye catching patterns carved into the bit that held up the light. He's been staring at it for about ten minutes now. It's not like he could do much else, Alicia wasn't ready to wake up yet and if he tried to get out of the bed she would wake. Alicia usually wasn't clingy when it came to sleeping, she liked her own space, but all through the night she'd been wrapped around him. It's not that he minded cuddling, he just really had to go to the bathroom and he was stuck in Alicia vice like grip. She probably thought he would leave in the middle of the night or something, he never would of course, but it was nice knowing she wanted him to stay that bad.

Will was startled by the sudden noise coming from his phone. He reached over to shut it up before it woke her. She didn't wake up but she let him go so she could roll over. Taking the chance he quickly got out of the bed and put on his shirt and briefs, he couldn't find his pants. He went to the bathroom and saw that it was raining outside, pouring actually. He went and checked his phone and saw that it was eleven in the morning. Wow they slept for ages. Well not really, they were up for ages last night getting reacquainted with each other bodies. Will smirked to himself as he looked at Alicia lying there so peacefully. He wanted to let her sleep, so he went to try and find something to eat. Maybe that left over pizza she has, not the one he made for them last night that was still on the coffee table in the lounge room. Once she stuck her tongue in his mouth all thoughts of dinner were abandoned.

As he rummaged through her fridge, he wondered if Alicia would tell anyone about what happened last night. He sure as hell wouldn't. She hadn't said anything about it last night but he's pretty sure she doesn't want him blabbing to the world that they were together now. At least not till after the divorce. Will closed the fridge as he realised that they hadn't even discussed that last night, she hadn't even said they were separated. Okay they still had a lot to talk about. They both got so caught up in the moment last night that all his prior thoughts about knowing all the details before he agreed to be with her were forgotten. Well they were together now; he wasn't going to change that. But they were going to talk later, about everything.

He looked at his phone and saw he had missed calls from Kalinda. He should probably call her back; but if he did they would probably have a conversation that would result in him needing to come in to the office. That's the last thing he wanted to do right now, he would rather stay here and wait for Alicia to wake up so that they could talk about their relationship. Oh my god he was like an obsessed teenage girl right now, writing in her diary wondering why her boyfriend hadn't said I love you yet. He didn't want to come off as pushy and clingy to Alicia. He was going through different ways in his head about how to start a conversation with Alicia in a manly way when he heard the front door open and close. It took him a moment to remember that Alicia was still in bed, and that this was someone she might not want him to meet yet. Like her kids, if they walked in right now and saw him it would create a very awkward situation. For all he knew they might still think that their parents are happy together.

He was just starting to run from the kitchen and head to Alicia's room to hide when someone who was familiar to him appeared in the doorway. Instead of her kids, he saw Owen standing there looking at him drum struck.

"Will! Hey, I guess. What are you doing here?" Alicia told me she left your firm."

"Um, I'm not here for work. I'm just-" he paused not sure how much he should say. He had no idea what Alicia had told him, so he just stood there awkwardly.

"I'm going to take the fact that you're not wearing pants as a sign that Alicia finally called you. So how long have you been walking around here tainting furniture with my sister. Tell me now so I know what not to put my face on." Owen walked over and took some cold pizza out of the fridge. Owen looked at him waiting for an answer.

Will smiled at Owens teasing, if Alicia was awake she would probably tell him off, but he had sisters he was used to this. He wasn't sure if Owen should be filled in on the fact that he and Alicia had properly made up only last night. He knew that people would think there were moving way to fast, having only had about three proper conversations in the last 5 months before saying I love you and spending the night together. But to them it just didn't feel too fast, they've been back and forth so many times that this pace felt right to them. Besides if he didn't lead Alicia to the bedroom last night, she would've taken him. Owen would probably just give Alicia grief if he found out that they jumped into bed together after one day, so Will would just leave it up to Alicia with what to tell Owen

"Alicia's asleep in the room, I was letting her sleep in." Will didn't miss the fact that Owen rolled his eyes at how he dogged his Question.

"Well that's very gentlemanly of you, but I think Alicia needs to partake in this conversation. Alicia! Wake up!" Will moved out of Owens way as he made his way to Alicia's bedroom yelling for her to wake up. He was sure Alicia would not appreciate this wake up call, but Will knew that she would forgive Owen quickly. She loved him dearly. Not sure what to do in this moment, follow Owen or wait in the kitchen, he decided to look for his pants and let Alicia and her brother talk.

He spotted his pants in the hallway from the lounge room to Alicia's bedroom. As he was putting them on he knew Alicia was awake because he heard her voice and then her bedroom door shut. He went back to the kitchen and munched on some pizza and called Kalinda while he waited for Alicia to come out. Just like he suspected, Kalinda found a problem that needed to be addressed and Diane wanted him to come in. Alicia's voice trailed out of her bedroom and was approaching the kitchen, she stopped when she saw him in the kitchen, she looked down at his pants and smiled. Owen obviously had told her that he was walking around pant less. She walked over to him and took his hands.

"Good morning. I'm sorry about Owen; he can be a bit over bearing sometimes. I didn't know he would come over today." She leant in to give him a tender kiss. Will wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the kiss until it was interrupted by Owen.

"What do you mean overbearing?! I'm a delight, you're just over controlling. Oh and by the way Will, continue to grope my sister in front of me and I'll have no choice but to inform our mother of your newly founded relationship."

"He is not groping me, shut up Owen! He's joking, if he called my mother I would never speak to him again." She reassured him.

"That's fine, listen I'm going to take off." He let go of her and picked up his phone.

"Why? You don't have to go because of Owen. He can leave, you stay." Will smiled at how much she wanted him to stay, it was nice to finally be loved by Alicia.

"No, it's not Owen. I have to go in, work problem. But can we meet up tonight? I want to talk about some things."

"Yeah, ok. We can go to your place if you want."

"Sure. I'll call you later, Alicia." He turned to Owen and shook his hand. "It was nice to see you again."

"Yeah, you too. It was also nice to see you out of your pants by the way."

"Owen!" Alicia scolded him and he retreated into the lounge room. "I'm sorry, he's an idiot sometimes."

Will laughed " don't worry I have siblings to. I'll see you later Alicia."

"Ok. Last night was great wasn't it?" She seemed to be unsure and was asking him if he enjoyed himself.

"Of course, it was amazing" if she was insecure he would do his best to put her insecurities to rest. He took her face in his hands and kissed her. "I love you, you're all I want Alicia."

She leaned in to him and seemed relieved that he had said that. It was like she thought he had changed his mind over night. He hadn't changed his mind; he just had questions he needed answers to.

"I love you to Will. You're all I want as well. Sorry it took so long to realise."

"It doesn't matter now. Ok, I'll call you tonight when I'm home, then we'll talk."

"Bye." She kissed him goodbye and he gathered his things and headed for the door.

He had to go help Diane out at work before all hell broke loose. He played it like Owens comments had no effect on him, but when he mentioned his mother, Will felt nervous. He very much wanted Alicia's family's approval, especially her kids. Bad thought, he shouldn't be thinking about meeting her kids that was Alicia's decision all the way. They were hers after all and she knew them best.

He got to the parking lot and begun to look for his car when he realised he'd left it at the hotel. He'd completely forgotten that they walked to Alicia's apartment. Oh well, he was late enough as it was, he didn't have time to walk back to the hotel. He phoned a cab to take him to work. While he was being driven he went back to thinking about how to start the conversation with Alicia tonight. He didn't want to upset her by prying too much, but she had to be fair and give him all the details. Either way, if she cooperated tonight he'd know once and for all if she was completely serious about this, or if she had any doubts. He wanted it all on the table and he wanted to know if Peter would cause problems. Tonight there would be a lot of secrets being uncovered, because he knew after he was done questioning her about things she would prefer not to share, she would want to know all his dirty secrets. This was going to be the night that would make or break there relationship.
