Here it is, the date. I have to admit this update gave me some difficulty I wrote it, deleted it, wrote it again, took stuff out put it back in, and this is what I got from all that. Hope you enjoy.
Will was nervous, he spent the last hour cleaning his house. Sonny had called him an hour ago and after discussing it they realized it would be easier to have Sonny come over for dinner instead of going out with Ari. She had been running around all day, and after spending the night at Jennifer's last night, he knew she was going to crash early. It was so much easier to have her fall asleep at home then out, so Sonny had suggested he stop and get pizza and bring the food there. Ari was more then excited since their pizza plans for last night didn't happen. Will looked around his living room inspecting the place and finally heaved a sigh of relief, he had gotten all Ari's toys put away, cleaned up the stain on the couch from Ari's grape juice earlier and vacuumed all the glitter up from her mermaid Barbie's hair. The house looked clean. The doorbell rang and just as he was about to answer the door he heard a loud crash from the kitchen.
"Arianna!" Will yelled.
"I'm sorry daddy!" She cried running into the room covered in paint. Will couldn't be mad he should have known better then to leave his daughter alone in the kitchen playing with her paint set he was just too nervous. "I didn't mean too" Ari stood in front of him crying.
"It's fine, we'll clean it up" Will said picking her up and walking towards the kitchen before he remember the door. He ran over and opened it quickly.
"Hi" Sonny smiled at him. Then turned to a crying Ari and frowned.
"Hey, come on in." Will said holding the door open, and gesturing Sonny to follow him to the kitchen. When they entered the kitchen they noticed the water colors all over the table and dripping to the floor. "Sorry we had a bit of an accident."
"I'm so sorry daddy. Are you gonna punish me?" Ari asked still crying and clinging to Will's shirt.
"No, baby. It's ok. It was an accident." Will said wiping the tears from her face and kissing the top of her head.
"I'm sorry I made a mess Sonny. Daddy was cleaning the whole house, he wanted it to look nice for you, and I ruined it."
"You didn't ruin anything." Sonny smiled at her. This seemed to help Ari calm down, she stopped crying, and wiped her running nose off on Will's shirt.
"Ari, my shirt is not a tissue." He informed as he set her down.
"I'm sorry, Daddy. I had boogies"
"Why don't you go upstairs and change, and I'll get this all cleaned up."
"Ok." Ari said about to leave but then turned around and ran over to the table. "Oh no, my picture! Is it ok Daddy, did I mess it up?"
Will grabbed the picture Ari had been painting and held it out to her. "No, it was saved."
"I painted it for you Sonny" She said handing it over to him. "It's us, playing tee ball!"
"I love it. Thank you" Sonny said putting the pizza down on the clean part of the table and taking the picture from her."I also got something for you." Sonny handed Ari a bouquet of blue roses.
"Oh my gosh! They are so beautiful!" Ari yelled "I need to put them in water right now!"
"That was so sweet of you Sonny." Will said going to the cupboard to get a vase down, he filled it with water and put the flowers in. "Ok baby, now go upstairs and change, and clean up for dinner."
"Ok. Thanks for the flowers, Sonny." Ari yelled running past them.
"I'm sorry about the mess. Things can get hectic with a 5 year old. Why don't you make yourself at home. You can watch some TV, while I get this cleaned up."
"It's fine. I could actually start cleaning it up if you want to go change" Sonny said pointing to Will's shirt.
Will looked down at his shirt "Paint and snot, I must look so attractive."
"I bet you would no matter what you were wearing"
"There's that flirting again."
"I can't seem to help myself around you."
"Yea, well I don't feel attractive in this. I'll be right back, but you really don't have to clean up you could watch some TV or something, there's drinks in the fridge you could grab whatever you want."
"Thanks. I really don't mind helping though." Sonny looked around the room. "Paper towels?"
"By the sink." Will said pointing in the direction of the paper towels. "I'll be really quick." He ran upstairs, put on a new shirt checked himself out in the mirror, changed the shirt, checked himself out again and then headed to Ari's room where she was changing into her party dress.
"Ari, why are you wearing that?"
"I want to look pretty for our date." She said twirling around looking at herself in the mirror.
"You look beautiful"
"Oh! I gotta do my hair!" She yelled running out to the bathroom.
He laughed at his daughter and then headed downstairs,he stopped in the door way to the kitchen and watched as Sonny was bent over cleaning paint off the chair. He couldn't help but admire his ass, he started to wonder what it would feel like to touch, squeeze, it looked so firm and.. he was startled out of his thoughts when he felt a presence next to him, he looked down to see Ari staring up at him.
"Daddy, why are you staring at Sonny's butt?" Ari asked curiously
Sonny hadn't realized anyone was in the room, he spun around so fast the chair almost tipped over.
"I uh..." Will started, his cheeks turning red, again. Sonny was going to think he had a constant sunburn.
Sonny smiled at him then turned to Ari. "You look like a princess"
"You think?" She asked twirling around for Sonny.
"Definitely"
"I had to look nice for our date."
"I think you look perfect."
"How about we eat dinner in the living tonight. It smells like paint in here" Will said.
"Really? I'm going to go clean off my Dora table!" Ari yelled running into the living room. Once she was gone Sonny turned to Will.
"Staring at my ass, huh Horton."
"No I wasn't"
"It's fine I do remember you saying I have a great ass it's only nature you would stare."
"I can't believe I said that out loud"
"For the record I think your ass is pretty phenomenal too" Sonny said taking a step closer to Will.
"Oh yea?" Will asked putting his arms around Sonny's neck
"Yea" Sonny said staring at Will's lips
"DADDY!" Ari yelled from the living room.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Will asked leaning his forehead onto Sonny's "We better hurry, she is not fun when she is hungry. Can you grab the drinks?
"Sure thing, what are you having?"
"Water please and can you grab a box of apple juice for Ari. You can have anything you want." Will asked grabbing plates, napkins and the box of pizza.
Sonny grabbed two bottles of water and Ari's juice, then followed Will into the living room. They settled on the couch, and Will got up to put a movie on.
"I hope you don't mind a Disney movie" Will said looking through the collection.
"Princes and the frog!" Ari yelled
"Let's try something else this time. I think we watched that movie about 20 times in the last week."
"But it's my favorite! Don't you want to watch it Sonny?"
Sonny looked between Ari and Will, he didn't know what to say, take Will's side or Ari's. Thankfully Will noticed and didn't make him chose.
"Fine. We can watch it" Will grumbled and put the movie in, as he sat back down on the couch he turned to Sonny. "I know this isn't the evening you had planned. I'm sorry."
"I planned on spending the evening with you and Ari, if that means pizza and cartoons, I'm fine with that." Sonny bumped their shoulders together "Now be quiet the movie is starting"
About a half hour later Ari announced she was done eating.
"Did you want more Sonny?" Will asked
"No I'm fine thanks." Sonny said as Will got up to clear the coffee table off. "Do you want me to help?"
"No! Sonny, stay watch the movie." Ari said climbing onto the couch next to him.
"It's fine. I'll be right back" When Will came back into the living room his heart melted his daughter was curled at Sonny's side and he had his arm around her. He joined them on the couch, and smiled at Sonny when their eyes met. Half way through the movie Ari started snoring.
"Looks like she's out" Sonny said
"I should put her to bed I'll be right back" Will said getting up and grabbing Ari. As he was putting Ari's pajamas on she woke up.
"Where's sonny?" She asked
"He's downstairs. Go back to sleep."
"But I didn't get to say goodbye."
"I'll tell him sweetheart."
"Ok tell him this was the bestest date I ever had"
"I will." Will kissed her head and tucked her into bed.
"Love you daddy." Ari said around a yawn.
"I love you to princess sweet dreams" He shut the light off and went back downstairs.
"Welcome back." Sonny smiled over at him.
"Ari told me to tell you goodnight. She said this was the best date she has ever had."
"I was just thinking the same thing."
"Are you just saying that? I know cartoons and pizza is not really the ideal first date."
"I really mean it. I like spending time with you, the both of you."
"Did you want to shut the movie off? We could sit out back and have a glass of wine if you want."
"That sounds perfect"
They settled in on the back patio chairs and started getting to know each other more. Sonny told Will about his childhood, boarding school and the traveling he did.
"You seriously climbed K2?" Will asked shocked
"Yea it was amazing, the view was something I'll never forget."
"That's crazy. I would never be able to do something like that. I have a thing for heights."
"Oh come on. Heights aren't that bad"
"I got stuck on the top of a Ferris wheel when I was 7, and have been terrified ever since"
"A Ferris wheel, they aren't even that high"
"Anything that involves my feet not being firmly on the ground is too high."
"You are too adorable"
"I'm glad my unmanly ness is something you find adorable"
"You are definitely not unmanly" Sonny said staring at him in the eye, it was so intense Will shivered. "Are you cold? Do you want to go back in?"
"No, I'm having an amazing time I want to stay out here with you. If you do?"
"I do." Sonny said leaning back in the chair and opening his legs "Come here I can keep you warm." Will got out of his chair and climbed in with Sonny, and leaned back into his warmth. Sonny wrapped his arms around Wills middle "Is this ok?"
"Perfect" They sat there for a while, in a comfortable silence just starting up at the sky, before Will broke the silence. "After living everywhere why come back to Salem?"
"Salem is where my family is, traveling is fun but it gets lonely after a while. I came home for a visit and that was about a year ago."
"Do you plan on leaving again?"
"I don't think so, at first I did, but then I reconnected with family, friends, opened the shops. I made a life for myself here. What about you?"
"I've lived in Salem my whole, when I was in high school I dreamed about moving to a big city like Chicago or New York but then Ari came along and my family's here, and I couldn't do it without them."
"I know we haven't known each other long but I can already tell your an amazing father."
"That is the greatest compliment you could ever give me. Thank you." Will said turning around in Sonny's arms so they were facing each other. "I know this is the first date but you have to know Ari means everything to me, she is my whole life, and she loves you so if your serious about getting to know me, you have to be all in. I can't bring someone in to her life to have them leave. She's had it tough"
Sonny took Will's face in his hands and looked him right in the eye. "I understand that. I can't tell you what the future is going to bring, but I can tell I want to be a part of yours. Yours and Ari's. You do something to me Horton, I never felt like this before so quickly but I know I don't ever want to stop feeling like this." Will leaned into Sonny, and touched their lips together slowly, while the worked out a pattern. Soon Will could feel a tongue against his lower lips, it made his body come alive, he let out a low moan, and Sonny seized the opportunity thrusting his tongue into Will's mouth. Will twisted his body more, one hand in Sonny's hair the other coming down to push his legs together, so he could climb on and straddle his lap, never once breaking the kiss. Sonny pulled back from Will's mouth to capture his throat, both hands finding their way towards Will's ass and giving it a squeeze, Will thrust forward at the sensation causing their hardening cocks to brush against each other. This brought them back to their senses Will pulled away from Sonny.
"I'm sorry" Sonny quickly removed his hands from Will's ass and raised them in the arm as if he was surrendering
"No, you have nothing to be sorry for. I just can't do this with Ari upstairs."
"You right, we should take things slow. Can we at least sit like this for a little while longer?"
"I would love that." Will said cuddling back into Sonny, and again the comfortable silence from earlier was back and they just stated at the sky. This was definitely going down as the best first date ever in Will's book.
Again just wanted to say thanks for all the attention this story is getting :) I don't think I'm going to have any more quick updates. Hopefully I'll have something by this weekend, if not then early next week.
