Will roused from his impromptu nap a couple of hours later and stretched languidly, feeling the delicious ache that filled his ass. He desperately needed to relieve his bladder but Paul's arm was draped across his waist and he hated to wake him.
He lay there for a few minutes just enjoying the feel of Paul wrapped around him warmly. He thought one more time about his decision, even more convinced that he had made the right choice. Sonny was his past and Paul was his future. He knew that with certainty now. Everything that he had said to Sonny was true, it had hurt him to open himself up to feel all of those things again, but it was worth it.
Finally when he was about to burst and could not stand it anymore he eased away from Paul toward the edge of the bed… but Paul's thick arm tightened around him, pulling his body flush against him again. He pressed his growing erection against Will's backside.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked sleepily.
Will started to settle back down, but his bladder was pretty insistent that he move. "Just to the bathroom, I'll be right back." He said, scooting off of the bed.
"Come back….." Paul protested loudly, as he cracked his eyes open and watched Will walk toward the bathroom naked.
"In a minute." Will said, going into the bathroom and closing the door. He used the toilet and then examined himself in the mirror as he washed his hands. He had a couple of faint red circles on his neck and throat, his lips were cherry colored and his eyes were sparkling bright. Abigail would take one look at him and know how he had spent his morning. He groaned inwardly… he was not ready to face the world but he did need to go and get his baby girl….. maybe after one more round with Paul, he thought wickedly. It had been a long time since he had been with anyone... and that one time with Paul had awakened all of his desires.
He walked back out of the bathroom to see Paul out of bed, he had his jeans on, but not fastened, and he was folding the blanket that had covered them.
"What are you doing?" He asked, sauntering over to Paul.
Paul laid the blanket on the bed and pulled Will against him, kissing him softly on the lips. "We should go get Arianna and go celebrate!" he said.
Will's heart melted when he realized that Paul wanted to include Arianna. He grinned and put his fingers in the belt loops of Paul's jeans jerking the man closer. "I love you." He said, his voice was thick with emotion. He was actually fighting back tears… How had he ever gotten this lucky? He connected their lips together and kissed Paul deeply.
Paul's hands went to Will's hips and slid down over the globes of his ass only to be reminded that he was still naked. With great discipline he moved his hands back to the small of his back and held him close.
When they broke for air, Paul set Will away from him purposefully and put a hand on the end of the bed… "You need to get dressed fast." Paul said. "Or we are going to be spending the rest of the day rolling around in the bed."
"Hmmmm." Will said smiling, advancing on him. "That doesn't sound so bad to me."
"Me either….but I want to see Arianna." Paul said.
"Fine." Will said, pretending to pout. "But bring some clothes, I want you to stay with me tonight."
"Deal." Paul said, pulling his tee over his head and fastening his pants.
Will turned and gathered his clothes, slipping them on one article at a time. Once he was dressed he sat down on the couch to pull on his shoes. "Where should we go to celebrate?" Will asked.
"Wherever you want…. Out to eat….Ice cream…. The zoo…. Anything that sounds good." Paul said, not really caring where they went as long as they were together.
"Maybe we can grab some food and take her on a picnic… then to the park, I think she would like that, and it isn't freezing out there today." Will said.
"Sounds like a plan." Paul said, tugging on his sweatshirt. Once he was done he grabbed his duffel bag and pulled a couple pairs of jeans and underwear from the chest and then grabbed a couple of polo's from the closet. Then he shoved them in, zipped it quickly before opening the door.
"You ready?" he asked, turning to look at Will.
Will was still sitting down on the couch frowning at his phone.
"What's wrong?" he asked, immediately closing the door and going over to sit beside him on the couch.
Will looked at him, and smiled. "Nothing." He said, "Dad texted and said mom was planning a party for tonight and insisted that I come and bring you with me."
"Great!" Paul said, "sounds like fun."
"You don't know my mom…. Half the town will be there." Will said, "I don't want to deal with them tonight…. I want to have a quiet night with you and Ari…"
"Then we will politely decline the invitation." Paul said, "Whatever you want, is what we will do."
"We will have to go… Mom is not going to let this go." Will whined resigning himself to go and get it over with.
"She will listen to me…" Paul said. "Leave everything to me."
Will shrugged and got up to follow Will out of the door.
Paul pulled out his phone and handed it to Will. "Can you put her number in so I can call her?" he asked.
Will did as he was asked and handed the phone back to Paul. They walked out of the hotel hand in hand. Once they were outside on the side walk… Paul stopped… and dialed the number Will had entered into is phone.
Instead of raising the phone to his ear as Will expected him to do he hit the speaker button. His mother answered on the second ring.
"Hello." She said, "Who is this?"
Will snickered… Sami Brady… well Sami Dimera had never been known for her subtlety.
"Hi Mrs. Dimera this is Paul Narita." He said.
"Paul… Hi!" She said excitedly. "It's Sami please, what can I do for you?"
"Well Will just talked to his father, and he is under the impression that you are throwing a party tonight and expecting that we will be there." Paul said. "I was just calling to make sure you had enough notice that we will not be able to make it tonight."
"I'm going to kill Lucas for spoiling the surprise, I was going to…. Wait what did you just say?" she asked switching gears quickly.
"I'm sorry Mrs… excuse me Sami… but we will be spending our first night as a couple, having a quiet night with Arianna. We won't be able to come to a party tonight…" he said patiently.
"But you have to come. I want to introduce you to the whole family and tell everyone that you are together… and " Sami wailed… sounding close to tears. "I have planned everything and invited everyone already and the cook is already working on the food… and…."
"Mom it's okay we will…" Will started, stepping closer to the phone.
Paul hit the mute button on the phone and turned to Will…. Looking to see if he had changed his mind… Will still looked sad but he shrugged "I feel bad." He whispered.
Sami continued rambling on and on…. She hadn't even taken a breath.
"Sami." Paul said, turning off the mute. When she didn't acknowledge that he had spoken… he raised his voice a bit… "SAMI." He said again.
"What?" she asked, cutting off her tirade mid sentence, clearly aggravated.
"I am sorry. We really appreciate all that and of course I want to meet the whole family but we can't make it tonight… now if you want to have the party next weekend Will and I would be glad to come." Paul said, his tone of voice indicating that he was not going to waiver.
Sami got quiet, then sighed. "Fine." She said, "Saturday night you both need to be at the mansion at 7pm."
"We will see you then." Paul said, then he clicked off the phone and dropped it into his pocket. Then he turned to Will, "Ready to go babe?" He asked.
"How did you do that?" Will asked, dazed.
Paul took his hand and pulled him into step beside him as he led him to the car. "I think she likes me." He said shrugging.
"That's an understatement." Will said. "She must really like you, to let you get away with that!"
"Get away with what?" Paul asked. "I only told her we were not coming to the party."
"Yeah… I know." Will said, "Nobody says no to Sami Brady without paying the price."
Paul chuckled… "Whatever it is… it will be worth it to spend the night alone with just you and Arianna."
Will blushed and got into the car, realizing that they were there and Paul had already opened the door.
They drove over to the apartment in companionable silence. But when they pulled into a parking spot, Will remembered that Abigail knew that he had made his decision, and though he wasn't sure how she would feel about it, she was bound to pry for a few details before being on her way.
"Paul…" he said, turning in the seat. "Abigail is with Arianna and she knew that I was talking to you and Sonny both today… so since I am bringing you home with me, I won't be hard for her to figure out that I chose you… I hope you don't mind."
"Mind?" Paul asked… confused… "Of course I don't mind, I want everyone to know that I am the luckiest man on the planet."
"Stop…" Will said, ducking his head and pushing at his arm… "Come on I am ready to go see my baby girl."
Paul grinned and got out. He went around and opened Will's door for him.
Will could open his own car door of course but he had to admit it was nice that Paul did it for him. No one else had ever taken the time or the initiative to do that for him.
When they got to the door to the apartment, Will took out his keys and opened the door, just in time to see Chad hold Arianna above his head and swing her wound like an airplane…. He dropped her onto the couch for a crash landing and she giggled like crazy. "Gin… gin…." She pleaded.
Abigail looked up as the door opened, she took in the sight of Will standing there with Paul standing behind him. Will looked genuinely happy, and she was really relieved since Sonny was already on his way to prove to Brian that they could make it.
"Will." Chad said, "Give me just a minute sweetheart and we will do it again." Chad promised. He carefully extracted himself from the tangle of Arianna's arms and legs. He came over and held out his hand to Will. "Good to see you, what's new?"
Will took the proffered hand. "Hey Chad, long time no talk… this is Paul." He said moving into the living room so Paul could follow him and close the door.
"Paul Narita…. Right?" Chad asked shaking his hand as well.
"Yeah man, have we met?" Paul asked.
"No…. but I have heard a lot about you from Abigail here" he said inclining his head in her direction… "and for the record let me tell you, I am damned glad that you aren't straight…" he said.
Paul laughed and Abigail blushed a deep crimson. "Shut up CHAD." She said indignantly.
"What?" Chad asked, trying to look all innocent. "I don't need any more competition… and she hasn't shut up about you since you walked her to her door a couple weeks back."
It was Paul's turn to be embarrassed, "It was no problem, I just wanted to make sure she was safe."
"Well, I appreciate it man, thanks for looking after my girl." Chad said.
"HA!" Abigail cackled… "You had a conniption fit when I told you a very handsome man walked me to my door." She teased….
"Well yeah….. " Chad said. "The way you sang his praises… I thought I was going to have to hire a hitman."
"WOW." Will said laughing heartily as the color drained from Paul's face.
Chad looked at him with a cocky grin. "Don't worry she finally told me a couple of hours later that you were after my man Will here" Chad said slapping Will on the shoulder, "You are completely safe with me…. Well…. Unless you hurt Will, then I may have to give Sami the number to the hitman."
Will looked over at Paul, who was smiling through the teasing but he also looked relatively pale. "Okay Okay… Chad that's enough." He said.
Abigail looked at Paul. "Don't mind Chad, he is totally kidding." She said.
"She's right, I am teasing." Chad said pulling Abigail under his arm. "Mostly."
"Stop it Chad." Abigail said laughing. "Soo Will, you look happy." She said.
"I am." Will said. "I am really happy."
"I'm glad." she said. "You deserve it."
"Thanks." Will said, picking Arianna up. Apparently she had gotten tired of waiting for Chad to return to their game, and was pulling at his Pants leg.
"Hi Pumpkin." He said, kissing the tip end of her nose. "Did you have a good morning with Aunt Abigail?" he asked.
The little girl nodded enthusiastically. "Airpane." She said grinning.
"Yes I saw you being an airplane." He said. "What do you say we go see great grandma, get some food and go on a picnic with Paul?"
" Pway….pway " She said struggling to get down… will set her on the ground and she raced out of the room.
"Sounds like a fun afternoon." Chad said. "I had better be going, I have a meeting in a little while over at the hospital. Want me to drive you home?" he asked looking at Abigail.
"Please." She said. "Let me just go and kiss Ari goodbye."
She disappeared into the nursery where Arianna was jumping trying to get some clothes out of her closet. Abigail giggled at her antics and held her up to pick out the outfit she wanted.
Abigail knelt down and changed her clothes for her, then brushed her hair putting into two small pig tails. Once Arianna had picked out her boots and Abigail had helped her get them on they walked out into the living room to find the three men sitting around talking about sports.
"We are all ready." Abigail announced. "Ari here is ready for her picnic and I guess I am ready to go run my errands." She said sighing.
She went over and kissed Will's cheek, "I mean it you know you deserve to be happy."
"Thanks." Will said, hugging her. "For everything."
Will watched them go, closing the door behind them. Then he turned to Arianna. "Ready for our picnic princess?" he asked.
"Paul tum wif us?" she asked, looking at Paul earnestly.
"Of course I am coming… You're my main girl, remember?" Paul said hoisting her up in his arms.
"Wuv you." She said, laying her head on his shoulder.
Paul's eyes filled with moisture… "And I love you." He said, his eyes connected with Will's over her shoulder. "Both of you."
