Chapter 21
.
After a long day at his office then coming home to listen to his best friend sucking to him about a possible baby on the way. Chris groaned as he finally relax on his bed. He wondered how the session went with Sophie, he didn’t call her even when his driver came back with his car.
He sigh picking up his phone to call her but the image of her wearing the dress he bought for her earlier flooded his brain and he smiled at the thought.
” I don’t need to waste the picture in my imagination when I’ll soon get the real one that will last me forever,” he said still smiling turning to his side. He forgot he was planning to dial her number and sank into the comfort of his imagination for a while.
He wondered why a girl he met a week ago will have that much influence on him than the woman he had been with half of his life. It took him and Cecilia months before they started dating and it took them years for him to finally decide he want to marry her. The case is different with Sophie, he would marry her the next day if the girl agrees. But he doesn’t want to scare her by being too fast forward. He hates the thought but when the future comes and Sophie doesn’t feel the same, he won’t hesitate to buy his way to her heart.
The thought of her leaving him left a painful tug in his heart. For now, he would have to make her his, he is sure he owns her body but the goal is to have her heart and soul with it.
Damn Cecilia for interrupting them that night, he could have known what it feels like to be inside her and also explore her whole. He suddenly remembered the soft moans she makes whenever he has the key to her pleasure. They were music to his ears.
He didn’t want to invite her to the ball or have her anywhere near it but his mother had insisted on meeting the woman who has his heart for now. He had no idea what his mother was planning but he knew there must be something about getting another sibling for Liya there. He just hoped she won’t scare the poor girl away.
Still thinking about everything, his phone rang and displayed Sophie as the caller ID, just exactly the person he was thinking about.
” Hello,” She said softly making him grin from ear to ear.
” And how is my beautiful lady doing?” he said with a fake deep voice making her laugh softly.
” I’m fine. And how has the most handsome sugar daddy in the world been fairing without his beauty?” She asked in a flirty high pitched tone. Wait where did that confidence come from? His kitten is finally becoming a tiger huh?
” Wait who is this and what did you do to my shy Sophie?” He teased both of them. Judging by the sound of clothes ruffling. He knew she was lying on her bed also. It will be nice if she is alone.
” The shy Sophie is still here somewhere, I’ll summon her if you prefer that version.” She said still in her joking tone. He shook his head amusingly, he prefer this version of Sophie.
” No, I love this version of Sophie more. And to answer your question, the most handsome sugar daddy has been going crazy without his beauty” he confessed earning that soft laugh from her again.
” I don’t know anything about relationships in general but I believe that’s a line a boyfriend will tell his girlfriend. But then what do I know?” She laughed but he could imagine her shrugging her shoulders as she said those words.
” lovers share sweet words from time to time. We may not be a couple but we are lovers aren’t we?” he said she let out an ooh sound not agreeing with him but seeing sense in what he is saying.
” But then what do you know?” he added jokingly.
” Are you saying I’m dumb?” she said accusingly.
” Nah. I would never say that to my queen, would I? But we both know you are not well-versed when it comes to romance” He replied too sweetly she almost gagged.
” Okay I admit I lack in that aspect, Can the oh-so-almighty king of romance give me some lesson? Maybe I might need it in the future” she said sarcastically while also rolling her eyes.
” None of my services comes for free. How do you intend to pay? In-kind or cash?” He asked ignoring her sarcasm and he could hear her blush from the other side. He wonders why she is still shy when that was the deal that runs between them already.
” Which payment will suit your smarty pants?” She cleared her throat to hide her embarrassment. He almost laughed at how cute she was acting, keyword is almost.
” I’ll prefer the payment in kind ma’am. It’s no secret I’ve been wanting to get under your pants” He teased and she gasped in shock. How can he be so blunt?
” That’s rather blunt” She muttered.
” Would you rather I say something that isn’t true?” he threw back at her and she went silent for a few minutes.
” Seriously Sophie, take a joke. I was pulling your legs but honestly,” He said trying to lighten up the awkward mood.
” I knew you were joking. But your bluntness just came as a shock” She said shyly, her face already mirroring a tomato. She liked every bit of the conversation but her prudish side still find it awkward to listen to.
” Are you alone right now?” He asked and she replied yes. He could hear another ruffling of fabric indicating she just turned over to the other side.
” Yes, I’m alone. My roommate went out. It’s just me and the covers” she said with a grin.
” You and the covers?” He asked not getting the message she was trying to pass. She rolled her eyes, so much for the title of romance king.
” Just me and the covers, no barriers” She said elaborating on her words. He thought about it for a while before the light bulb switched on in his head.
” wait you are naked?” He asked and she said yes, almost adding Captain oblivious but bit back her words.
” Wow, now I’m starting to suspect you had a mission from the beginning?” He teased but she just just rolled her eyes. She has no mission whatsoever.
” I don’t have any mission” she defended herself but he just laughed.
” Then explain why you are calling me at midnight while lying on your bed naked? If not to put random dirty thoughts in my head?” he accused.
” That was not my intention but if that is the reaction I’m getting, I love it nonetheless,” She said flipping her imaginary hair. She was wearing a hair bonnet so all she flipped was air.
” Now you are getting sassy? I hope you keep this confidence when I finally have you screaming under me” He said in a cool manner but she could hear the threat in his tone. She brushed it off getting more and more confident.
” If I don’t know better then I might be scared right now. But no, we both know you are all bark and no bite” She said and he gasp, nodding his head at her words. He is so going to crumple this confidence like a piece of paper.
” Sophie, You should stop threading this path. It’s dangerous” he said coldly but she is not planning to stop anytime soon.
” Dangerous? Wait did I just hit a spot? Oops sorry” She cooed and he smiled thinking about how she is going to be sorry in the future.
” You didn’t hit any spot. You are riling up the devil in me” He replied to her.
” Bite me”
” Beware, Sweetheart, wishes come true” he warned but she was having too much fun to back out now.
” But why me?” she asked derailing from the conversation a bit.
” I don’t understand?”
” there were a lot of beautiful and outgoing girls at the club that night. Why did you choose the out-of-place newcomer?” she asked him elaborating on her earlier question.
” I can’t tell you the reason why I choose you. I just found you interesting or probably that ass was messing with my head” He replied in a funny manner that made her laugh.
” Nice to know you found my backside interesting,” she said with a fake annoyed voice and he laughed.
” Well, have you seen that ass? Or felt it? Damn! So soft! The men in your life must be so blind. But with the ass came a nice personality as a bonus and the most gorgeous green eyes too. At least that was the first thing I noticed about you” he said.
“What was that?” she asked confused.
” Your eyes, that was what drew me to you in the first place,” he said muffling a yawn and she muttered an oooh.
” I’ll see you tomorrow at the event Beautiful. Till then remember the pact you made tonight. Goodnight” he said before hanging up the call. That little spitfire! Does she want the beast inside him? And she is so going to get it. She managed to turn him on throughout the entire conversation though, her new side kept making shivers run down his spine. He loves every part of her, when she is shy, he has the urge to explore her and bring out the bitchy side of her, and now that she is sassy and confident. He wants nothing but to break it so he can remind her again whose bitch she is. He fell asleep to the thought.
He woke up the next morning with her as the first thing on his mind. Very funny given she was the last thing too. He went on his daily routine being a weekend. He played video games till the time the ball came. He went with Liam in one of his most expensive limos. His other driver was sent to pick Sophie up. And boy, he wasn’t disappointed at what he saw when Sophie entered the hall.
