Soul Mates

Chapter 8

Will looked in the mirror at the black eye and busted lip that Nick had given him yesterday. There was no way that Justin would not notice and being the excellent lawyer that he is, he would ask questions.

Will knew he would have to come up with a reasonable excuse that Justin would believe so he wouldn't tell his son anything about the bruises.

He looked back over his shoulder at his daughter. He climbed out of the car and removed Marley from her car seat. He walked up to the door of the mansion and rang the doorbell.

He was surprised when Justin answered the door. "Hello, Will. Good to see you. And hello there sweet little one. Do you mind if I hold her?" Justin asked as they walked into the house.

"If she'll go to you, then I don't mind if you hold her." Justin held out his hands to Marley and she went straight into them.

"Let's go into the living room where we can sit down and talk." Justin led the way while Will followed him silently.

Sonny and Vic walked into the house, hearing their dad's voice. "He's talking to someone. I wonder who it is. Did you see a vehicle outside?"

"I wasn't looking Sonny. I just wanted to get inside and get something to eat. I'm starving. Plotting to take down scum makes this guy hungry." Vic laughed when Sonny smiled at him.

"Be quite Vic. I want to find out who dad is talking too. Let's listen in on their conversation." They stepped closer to the double doors so they could hear who Justin was talking too.

"Why don't you trust him to help you? I know he would want to know what that punk did to you. I think you should tell him?" Sonny couldn't figure out who he was talking too. Then he heard a voice he recognized.

"The way I hurt him was wrong Justin. Yeah, I should have told him about what Nick did. I just can't tell him about this. I don't want him to get into trouble because of me and if I tell him that Nick hit me, he'll go off on Nick and then Nick will have a reason to press charges against Sonny. I love him too much to do that to him."

Sonny opened the doors and walked into the living room where his dad was sitting on the floor playing with Marley and Will was sitting on the couch watching them.

"Hello, Will. Long time no see." Sonny knew something was wrong when he stepped in front of Will and he put his head so he couldn't see his face.

"Hey Sonny." Will refused to look up at him. "I didn't know you were going to be here. I'll get Marley and leave."

"You don't have to do that Will. I've wanted to see her and you." Sonny went down on his knees trying to get Will to look at him but he kept his head down. "Are you going to look at me Will?" he still refused to look up at him.

Sonny reached out and grabbed his chin, lifting his head up so they were face to face. That's when he saw what Will was trying to hide from him.

"What the hell happened?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Please just let it go." Will begged. "I'm alright."

"Did Nick do this?" When Will didn't answer him, he knew he was right. "I'm gonna kill that son-of-a-bitch. I'll make him wish he had never been born."

Sonny stood up and started pacing around the room. Will stood up and followed him. "Please don't do anything Sonny. That's why I didn't tell you what he did."

When Will walked up behind Sonny, Sonny whirled around and grabbed Will by the waist. He pulled him against his body and started kissing him.

After several minutes of the most intense, passionate kisses they had ever shared, Sonny pulled away from Will. "I love you so much and I'm not willing to lose you again. I know that he threatened you but I'm going to take care of that. He'll never hurt you or our daughter again, I promise. Just don't push me away again. Please don't push me away."

Will wrapped his arms around Sonny's neck and they started kissing again. Will was so happy to be back in Sonny's arms that he almost forgot that they weren't alone.

"Would the two of you like a room because I really don't think the family wants y'all to do it right here in the living room." As soon as Will heard Vic, he blushed and Sonny started laughing.

"Do you think we could find a babysitter for the night?" Sonny asked. "I want to take you somewhere we can be together and a certain you know who won't find out. I want you Will." Sonny made sure that his dad and brother weren't watching and he lowered his hand down to the front of Will's jeans.

"I'll find a babysitter."

"Son, I would love to babysit this precious little girl if you and Will want some time alone somewhere. After all, I'm going to be her pawpaw one day. Is that okay with you Will?"

"Sure. I'll go get her stuff from the house and bring it back here."

"I'll go with you."

"It's not that don't want you to go with me but if Nick is watching me, I don't think you should be seen with me going to the house."

"How are we going to leave here together if he's watching? I don't think I can spend the night with you in my parents' house."

"Y'all don't have to worry. I'll have Edward take y'all anywhere y'all want to go. Y'all can leave through the carport in the limo together."

"But what about my car?" Will asked.

"Vic can leave in your car and Edward can pick him up. Even if Nick is having you watched, he won't know what's going on."

Will turned around in Sonny's arms and kissed him. "Do you want to do this?"

"Yes, I do. I need you."

"Then let's do it." Will kissed him passionately.
