Dear Angel - Chapter 23

A/N: So Sorry for taking so long to update this fic. Been busy and uninspired lately. Hoping this little pre date chapter will help me out. Thanks for everyone's continuous support! Love you, Angels! - Roxy

(Will's POV)

"Earth to Will!" Chad voiced with a chuckle, causing me to snap out of my current musing state of mind.

"Is it time to leave yet?" I asked my friend, anxiously hoping that it was indeed five o'clock and time to head out of the office for my date with Sonny.

"Not since the last time you asked," Chad pointed out and laughed. "you really need to relax, Horton. It's just a date."

"It's a date with Sonny, and I'm nervous, alright?"

"I get that you're nervous and that you're excited about tonight, but Will, you need to focus on what important here." Chad informed me and pointed to the folder containing our presentation. "We have to wrap this up tonight."

As frustrated as I was with myself about not being able to concentrate and anything other than my date with Sonny, I tried my hardest to regain my composure and to focus on the presentation. "I'm trying here!"

"Try harder. We have less than an hour to get done."

I let out a sigh in frustration. "Fine. I'm just going to check my emails again, before I get back to it."

I opened my emails and to my surprise, there was an email from Sonny. I smiled as I opened it up.

Jackson S. Kiriakis(J.S.K. ) Sent: 4:05 P.M.

To: William Horton (W.R.H.)

How is the proposal going? I miss you already.

I quickly responded back.

William Horton (W.R.H. ) Sent: 4:07 P.M.

To: Jackson S. Kiriakis(J.S.K. )

The proposal is not going I'm afraid. I've been trying all day and nothing seems to be making any sense. I miss you too and I can't wait to get out of here! Help!

Your Angel

I hit the send button and once again, I stared at my blank screen, hopelessly.

After a few minutes, I finally started jotting down ideas that I had for the pitch, none of which were actually pitch worthy, but still, it was a start. I continued on for almost five minutes when I received a notification indicating that I had a new incoming email.

Jackson S. Kiriakis(J.S.K. ) Sent: 4:15 P.M.

To: William Horton (W.R.H.)

Help is on the way! Maybe I should call it inspiration? Just try to relax for me, babe. Can you do that? Just give a few more minutes. Trust me on this, okay? I love you.

I smiled when I read Sonny's new message, which didn't go unnoticed by Chad.

"Did lover boy send you an email or are you just smiling at the screen like an idiot?" Chad snickered.

"As a matter of fact, lover boy did send me a message, and for your information he's going to help me with my pitch." I said proudly. Finally, things were starting to look up.

"How is he going to do that?" Chad questioned, doubtfully.

"Well, he said he would send me some inspiration." I smiled.

"I bet he's going to send you a few nude selfies. Wouldn't that be inspiring!" Chad wiggles his eye brows at me.

"Shut up! He's not going to send nude photo's of himself at work. That would be very unprofessional don't you think?" I smiled at the idea though. I honestly wouldn't mind having a few snapshots of the hunky Kiriakis as my personal wall paper. Okay, Horton! You need to snap out of it and focus on what's important here! The pitch!

"I guess you're right. But still, it would be sexy as hell." Chad pointed out with a laugh.

"God! Remind me again why I'm friends with you?" I specified, gaining a huff from Chad.

"Pfff...You love me and you know it!" Chad said, crossing his arms as if he was offended by my question.

"Don't flatter yourself, DiMera." I retorted with a evil grin.

"You love me!" Chad repeated.

"That's debatable!"

"Very funny, Horton." Chad sneered. "You can be a real dick when you want to, you know that?"

"So I've been told." I said, rolling my eyes at Chad.

"So, when is lover boy going to send you this 'inspiration'?" Chad asked, changing the subject back over to the proposal pitch.

"He said in a few minutes." I informed him. "He asked me to trust him on this one."

"I hope he knows what he's doing."

"You and me both." I admitted, worried that this might just be another waste of time. However, knowing how passionate sonny was with his work, I knew he wouldn't let me down. "Oh here we go!" I said as a new notification popped up on my screen.

It was from Sonny.

"Hurry up and open it!" Chad enthusiastically ordered.

"Alright, I am! Calm your tits!" I took in a deep breath and looked over at Chad who was sitting on the edge of his chair waiting. "This is it!"

I stammered before clicking on the email to open it.

Chad nodded. "Go for it!"

With another agonizingly painful deep breath, I opened the email.

I hope this is not crossing the line here. I really wanna help you get this done so we can have the entire week-end to ourselves without having you worry about this proposal pitch. I have included a file within this email with my idea of what you might be looking for.

My inspiration was you.

I tried to describe how you smell when I close my eyes. Knowing that your product is a perfume, I thought that this might be exactly what you're looking for. Hope I was right! I'll see you later, My Angel.

P.S. I didn't know the name of your product, so I left it open so you could add it ;)

I love you oxo

"So? What did he say?" Chad nervously await Sonny's idea.

"He sent a file attachment."

"Well open it!"

I clicked the file attachment and waited for it to load. "It's loading. God, I'm so nervous right now." I admitted.

"I bet!"

"Okay, here we go," I started reading over the description and let me just say that I now understand why Sonny got the promotion in the first place. His work is amazing. Everything was written eloquently and perfectly laid out on the page. All I could say was wow!

"Oh my God! This is-..." I was lost for words.

"Lover boy really has it bad. This is brilliant, Will." Chad agreed.

"This is exactly what I was looking for! This is amazing! now all we have to do is add the files and the product name and we're done!" I exclaimed excitedly. "I have no idea who I'm ever going to be able to repay him for this."

"Oh, trust me. I'm pretty sure you'll think of a way to repay him tonight. If you know what I mean." Chad winked. "Which reminds me, it's almost five o'clock."

"Oh god! I have to get ready! I need to get home and-...Shit! We're not done! I still need to add in the files and the name..."

"Just go, Will. I'll be happy to finish this is up. You go and have fun for once. You deserve it!" Chad offered.

"Are you sure? I mean...I can stay and finish this-..."

"Go thank your man!" Chad insisted, and I wasn't about to refuse him this time.

"Thank you, Chad. So much." I sincerely said as I scrambled to gather my things before heading out the door. "I promise you that I'll make this up to you."

"I'll hold you to it!" Chad smiled brightly.

"Well, I guess this is it! Wish me luck!"

"Good luck! But I don't think that you're going to need it."

I smiled and walked out of the office. I was almost at the elevator when I heard Chad yell out from the office. "Hey, Will? You never told me what our product name was? I kinda need it to finish this up."

I laughed. Chad was right. With everything that's been going on with the proposal, the pitch, Sonny...I forgot the mention what is probably the most important detail of all. The product name.

"Anonymous..." I informed Chad, practically screaming the name out loud across the cubicle filled room with a huge smile plastered all over my face, and that's when I knew that without a doubt, that this was exactly the perfect name for our product.

"I love it! It's perfect!" Chad agreed and waved me off as the elevator door opened and I stepped inside, feeling grateful for having Chad as a best friend (even though I will never admit it to him) and for having Sonny (the perfect boyfriend in the entire world) in my life.

Now, all I have to do is get home and make sure that everything's perfect for tonight.

I reached inside my pocket and pulled out my phone and sent a quick message to Sonny before leaving the office. I wanted to thank him for everything's that he's done to help me out with this project.
