Somehow I couldn't wait for the day to end. I had a lot of work to do in the office and I kept myself busy so much to avoid going to my dark place. It's already five pm and I just want to take a nice long bath and sleep till like twelve pm the next day. Packing up my things orderly, I can't stop thinking about the relaxation I was gonna give myself tonight.
Shit. The dinner date. I forgot about that scene. What was I thinking? I should not have changed my mind the last minute. I'm not even interested in the guy. Am I really thinking of having dinner with someone I was rude to? Not just rude...he has seen me naked and in a hotel with a school principal!! What kind of woman would he think I am?! Getting in my car, I make sure I call Layla to meet me at home cause it's not something I want to talk about over the phone. She thought it's about "Gavin and Belle" but that ship has sailed.
I got home as fast as I could..he hasn't texted yet, so I know I still got time to think properly about this. Layla was already in my room on my home laptop watching "The Originals". I don't know why she enjoys these kinds movies. I mean they're good, and I would watch cause the male characters are fucking hot. But I'm sure I would loose interest quickly cause it's just too long. She has been trying to get me to join the train for a while, and we'll...it's a no for me. Crazy but I'd rather watch Adult cartoons. Yeah..cartoons. they're real funny if you give one or two a chance. Oh, and she watches these movies in the dark! Like WTF right? She can be so scary sometimes.
SOFIA: Dude! Are your fucking shoes on my bed?
LAYLA: Oops...sorry...I forgot to take them off as soon as I saw "Damien's" face.
SOFIA: Whatever.
I turn the lights on and start undressing.
LAYLA: So what's up with Belle getting married?
SOFIA: First of all...where is my baby? Is he here with you?
LAYLA: No..he's with his sitter. Why should he come? I don't want stress right now.
SOFIA: Okay...I didn't call you over to talk about shitty Belle and Gavin. Uhm...so. Creed Griffin came to my office today and asked...me to...dinner.
A Cricket definitely chirped.
LAYLA: Uh..sorry..What?!?!
SOFIA: I know you fucking heard me.
LAYLA: Your office? How'd he...okay...I know you said no..
SOFIA: I didn't. I accepted.
LAYLA: Really? Oh..wow...and why the sudden change?
SOFIA: I don't know...I..just..want to give it a shot. Nothing's gonna happen but I still wanna try. He's kind of a pest. But what do you think though?
LAYLA: O..Kay. uh..i think you should go. I mean...what could happen? It's not like you're gonna marry him or anything.
SOFIA: Yeah..yeah...wait. What if...if he just wants to sleep with me? Just sex and nothing else? I mean... I'm not involved with anyone intimately right now. Do you think that's all he actually wants?
LAYLA: Okay! Chill. You're going to fast. He seems like reasonable guy and if he wants sex, he can get it from anyone. But if he insists it's you, I think he would tell you and not hide behind a freaking dinner date.
SOFIA: Really think so?
LAYLA: I highly doubt he wants sex though.
SOFIA: Have you seen me naked? You would wanna bang me girl. No jokes.
LAYLA: I have seen you naked actually and I had to convince myself I was only into dicks. Look..just relax and go with the flow. Don't think too much about this. It's gonna be fine.
SOFIA: Alright then. I better start getting ready. Could you help me pick out an outfit. Something sexy but boring.. I don't wanna seem interested .
LAYLA: So you're... interested?
SOFIA: God no .. but I don't wanna look ugly though!! Just find something!!
I leave naked with a Doobie to the bathroom but I heard her mutter something under her breath.
LAYLA: Ugly..like you could every look ugly. Crazy ass.
I don't know how long I took in there but I feel so relaxed and i don't regret it. I came out and Layla told me my phone had been ringing and she felt like I was sleeping when I wasn't responding. She knows how much my shower or bath goes and how much I hate having it interrupted unless it's absolutely important. I check my phone and see a message from him. It's the location for our date. It's not a fancy restaurant cause I would know. It's actually a house address. Ha! Really?! I knew it. Fucking sleazeball. He is about to be so disappointed...or lucky. I already feel giddy for some reason. The outfits Layla picked out were all too sexy. Soni chose one that suited the night, a short tubeless body hug red gown. Yes. I think I'm gonna stick with being sexy to tease the asshole a little. I arrange my hair first, I thought about putting it in a neat bun but nah...letting it down is more sexy and inviting. So Layla straightened it and it looked marvelous!! Now I can't wait.
LAYLA: Okay....wow... You look...like really good...you sure you wanna go like this? He's definitely gonna want to get you in bed.
SOFIA: And that's why I'm dressed like this. To know what he really wants from me cause I don't get the sudden interest.
LAYLA: And..if it's sex..don't be sad. He's just an asshole-
SOFIA: Why? I might want just that too.
LAYLA: Huh?
SOFIA: Yeah. Okay...walk me down?
LAYLA: I'm going home so okay. Call me if you need anything, or feel weird.
We got outside, about to get in my car, i notice my security talking with a man in a black Limo a little bit intensely.
LAYLA: What's going on?
SOFIA: Did we not just come out together?
GUARD: Sorry ma'am....this man is asking to come in without your permission. He said a Mr.Griffin sent him?
LAYLA: Ohhh.. wow. That is so thoughtful of him.
SOFIA: What is this? Prom? He had to use a Limo?
LAYLA: Would you freaking get in?!
SOFIA:Whatever. Open the gate.
GUARD: Yes ma'am.
LAYLA: Have fun okay?
SOFIA: Would you shut up? I'm not going to prom!
LAYLA: You know what I mean!!
SOFIA: Okay!! Mom!!!
I get in the Limo fast as I know she would tug on my hair for calling her 'Mom'. The Limo ride wasn't bad..there was wine and a beauty magazine which entertained me till we got to his place. Lemme rephrase that...till we got to his Mansion!! I mean I'm not surprised he owns a place like this but the details...the construction...holy fucking shit!! I swear I thought I wasn't in my country anymore. But I didn't look too surprised as the driver hurriedly opens the door, I mean why is he in such a hurry though? Scanning the compound, I casually walk to the front door...taking a huge breath, I open the door and walk in. Chilly here huh.

I cannot believe I've been in the kitchen because of a woman!! That thought 💭 was on replay in my head🗣️. I have not been active in the kitchen for a while except for when my sister got sick and I had to take care of her personally with my special soup and Pancakes 🥞...basically all the food she could think of and I could make too. Honestly, I don't understand the sudden interest in Sofia. I mean, this woman was rude to a total stranger for first time talking to him, she's involved with God knows how many men and are not committed to any nor is she interested in committing. Why exactly am I interested in this mess??
I didn't get much information about her from the private investigator I hired. She's quite secretive and hides it so well. I mean, she should, considering who her godfather is. All I now is, she's an only child, orphan, her godfather happens to be one of the most Powerful and Dangerous business man in the country. Wait, why is she so fucked up if she grew up in wealth? Perhaps, lack of fatherly love? She did stay with her mom a lot. So why did her godfather adopt her? How did he even see her to adopt? What is so special about her?
Well, I'm about to find out somehow.
Anyways, this 'Mess' is about to have dinner with me which she has no idea I prepared by the way. I cannot believe I'm thinking of just 'talking' to a woman. Not just any woman Fucking Sofia ives! It's not like she's that special like a queen 👑 or anything but..man...I know a lot of guys that would literally kill to be in my shoes right now. I'm even shocked she accepted my invitation, I'm not gonna lie...I wasn't that confident, I faked it. Guess I am a good actor after all. Screw you sis. I hear the Limo pull up and hurriedly adjusted my outfit a little. Nothing too serious. Just a black long sleeve shirt and plain trousers. I apply my secret oil perfume that my sister has been begging me to let her in on. But no way, It's specially made for me by a friend. Staring at my reflection in my phone, I look good enough to eat. Expecting a guard to alert me on her coming, but she walks in instead with all elegance. Fuck she's gorgeous. I mutter under my breath. I couldn't stop staring for some reason, I also couldn't say anything and I had this stupid ass boyish smile on my face that I couldn't get rid of.
She started walking towards me, not blinking and just staring, not breaking eye contact either, I felt hot all of a sudden. What the hell? She didn't stop, she said nothing, as she walks up to my face, What is she doing??! Pretending I'm not freaked out, I place a warm smile on my face but it gets interrupted by her soft lips 👄 on mine. Her eyes were closed but mine weren't, WHAT THE FUCK??!!
