It was Friday night and Sonny was at work, well not technically he was at his club, but he wasn't working. His friends Luke and Anna were getting married. He and Luke had been friends since eighth grade attending the same boarding school in London. Whether it was to help with a bad breakup or climbing a mountain together, Luke was always there. Luke was even the first person he had come out to, so he wanted to do something for Luke and Anna as a sort of thank you. He decided to invite some friends out for a night of celebrating, and since he owned his own club, what better place to have it. It meant he could save money on a venue and the alcohol. He arrived early to do a little work, and make sure the new bar tender Aaron had everything he needed to deal with the crowd on a Friday night. Just as he was making himself a rum and coke, his friends arrived.
"There he is, my best man!" Luke called walking into the club and over to Sonny.
"Best man, really?" Sonny asked
"Of course. Who else would I ask?" Luke said
"Maybe your brother?"
"You are my brother from another mother!"
"That line died a long time ago. But really man, thanks I'm honored." He said pulling
Luke into a hug.
"You better watch Anna, they might be cuter together then you and Luke" Sean laughed
earning him an elbow to the gut from Luke.
"I don't think so, I'm prettier then Sonny" Anna said jokingly flipping her hair over
her shoulder.
"Ouch. You wound me Anna" Sonny laughed back, going behind the bar to make everyone
drinks, and informing Aaron that all their drinks would be on the house for the night.
About 20 minutes later he was dragged out onto the dance floor with Anna.
"Sonny you need to loosen up. You can touch me, I'm pretty sure Luke won't mind." Anna
laughed
"I don't dance." Sonny answered back.
"Ok, let's take a break. You need more alcohol." Anna informed dragging Sonny over to
the bar, he wasn't the greatest dancer but with some alcohol in his blood stream he
seemed to think he was.
His friends quickly joined and after a few round of drinks and a couple shots they
were back out on the dance floor.
"Ok now lets see what you got Kiriakis. I bet you know how to work those hips. Just
pretend I'm a hot sweaty guy." Anna joked
"No, please, god. Don't ever put that imagine in my head."
"Fine just don't act like I'm your grandmother. Get closer, Luke isn't going to care.
"Yea probably not, seeing as your not my type." Sonny agreed and put his hands on her hips. As they swayed to the music his eyes scanned the room and landed at the bar where the man who haunted his dreams stood staring at him. Will Horton.
As soon as Will realized Sonny caught him staring he turned back to the bar and waited for his drink. As the bar tender put his drink down Will reached into his back pocket for his wallet, but felt a hand on his arm stopping him.
"Aaron his drinks are on the house too" Sonny said
"Sure thing boss" Aaron the bar tender answered then left to help the other patrons.
"Boss?" Will questioned
"Yea this is my club"
"Oh, so not only do you have the tough job of coaching tee ball but you also manage a
club."
"Own actually, and as hard as it is to coach 5 year olds, I needed something a little
less stressful to keep me sane." Sonny joked back.
"I see. Well thanks for the drink it wasn't necessary."
"I wanted to. I missed you and Ari on Thursday."
Will was so confused, Sonny seemed to be flirting again but what about the girl he was just dancing with. "Yea she was sick. Not a fun day. That's why I'm here, don't
usually get out much but my cousin decided I needed a night out. "
"Aw poor, Ari. I hope she's feeling better"
"Thanks she is. Must have just been a 24 hour bug."
"That's good, and I'm glad your cousin was able to get you to come out."
"Yea, well I uh...I don't want to keep you all night. I bet your girlfriend would like
you back sometime soon" At Sonny's confused look Will elaborated more. "I seen you
dancing"
"Oh Anna. No she is just a friend she's actually marrying my best friend Luke." Sonny
said pointing to Luke and Anna who were dry humping out on the dance floor. "Besides she is far from my type. Wrong equipment."
Will spit out the the sip of his beer he was in the process of taking. "Oh your gay."
"Yea" Sonny laughed handing him napkins.
"That's nice." That's nice, what the hell Horton. Will scolded himself "I mean, I'm
gay too. So I don't have a problem with that."
"Yea Ari told me." Sonny said smiling.
"She kinda has a habit of announcing that to people. I try to tell her not everyone
needs to know. It's not liking I'm hiding it but telling cashiers at the grocery store
is taking it a little too far"
"She doesn't"
"Oh she does. If someone is wearing a wedding ring she has to announce that her daddy doesn't want a wife, one day he'll have a husband."
"One day soon?"
"What?"
"That was his way of asking if your seeing anyone."Luke said coming up behind Will.
"Thanks Luke. I think I can handle it from here." Sonny said looking at Will who
wasn't answering "So are you single?"
"Um no." Sonny frowned at Wills answer. "I mean no I'm not seeing anyone. I'm single. It's kinda hard dating when your a single father."
"Too busy?"
"No, it's just sort of a deal breaker with most guys."
"Most, but not all" Sonny said looking directly into Will's eyes.
"Will!" T yelled coming up to the bar "Time for shots!"
"I guess I'll let you get back to your friends." Sonny said disappointment in his
voice.
"No stay, shots for everyone!" T said still yelling even tough he was right next to
everyone.
Will couldn't remember the number of shots they did but a few hours later, he was way more then buzzed, passed drunk, and pretty close to being trashed. He was at a table with his friends as well as Sonny, Luke, and Anna. The rest of Sonny friends had just left. They were all talking, getting to know each other and having a good time.
"How do you and Sonny know each other?" Abby asked Will.
"Sonny coaches Ari's tee ball team." Will informed
"Who's Ari?" Anna asked
"My daughter" Will replied
"I thought you were gay." Anna said laughing
"I am"
"Oh, so how do you have a kid?" Anna asked
Sonny turned to her and gave her an annoyed look.
Will didn't want to get into the whole Gabi thing in the middle of the bar, but had to say something to ease the tension he could feel. "Oh the normal way. Sex with a women." Everyone just stared at Will for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.
"Well I knew that" Anna said laughing as well. "So, if you had sex with a women are
you bisexual?"
"Why do you want to know that? Are you planning on running away with him and leaving me?" Luke asked
"Maybe, he is hot" Anna answered back, sticking her tongue out at Luke.
"Sorry, to ruin your plans but no. 100% gay." Will said
"Yea, Will only likes the penis. I took him to a strip club for his birthday once and
he rejected the free lap dance. He turned down a chance for boobies, I mean big
boobies in his face." A very drunk T said holding his hands to his face open like he
was grabbing watermelons.
"They were not that big" Chad laughed
"Still, they were huge and Will just turned them down"
"You weren't complaining when you pretended to be me and took the free lap dance."
Will said
"Hey what are friends for? I took one for the team, and would gladly do it again."
"I bet you would" Abby said taking a break from laughing to talk and actually try and
breath.
"Thanks man." Will laughed putting his arm around T.
"Of course, I love bro"
Will couldn't tell if T was joking, or so drunk he actually thought he was taking one
for the team. He was laughing so hard he almost missed Melanie decide it was time to
play matchmaker.
"So Sonny, tell me. Why is a nice, successful good looking guy like yourself
single?"
"I guess, I just haven't found the right guy." Sonny said then looked over to Will "Or
at least haven't had the chance to ask him out yet" Will was staring right back at
Sonny, again red faced and blushing, he really needed to get that under control. Sonny opened his mouth to speak again but was interrupted by the bar tender calling last call.
"We need to do shots!" T said jumping up from his chair and almost falling into Will's
lap.
"Maybe we don't" Will said trying to help T sit back down.
"Actually we should probably get going. Dress shopping tomorrow." Anna said getting up from her seat. "It was nice meeting you all"
"Come on Sonny. Were sharing a cab and your paying." Luke said slapping him on the
back, as he got up to follow Anna.
"Yea ok. So I guess I'll see you Tuesday." Sonny said looking at Will.
"Yea I'll be there and on time." Will said watching Sonny leave. "God he has a nice
ass." Will said louder then he had meant to.
"Thanks" Sonny called back smiling over his shoulder and winking at Will.
"Oh god I said that out loud." He groaned throwing his head in his hands.
"He's cute." Melanie said
And I just made a fool of myself. Another point deducted there. Will thought.
Yay! I posted another chapter! Thanks so much for all the reviews. Not sure when the next update will be, hopefully soon. I'm aiming for at least once a week, if not sooner. P.S. reviews give me the confidence I need to write. :)
