°Sophia's Pov°
The ride to Creed's place took forever or so I thought cause I was impatient. I needed to know what this man really wanted. I stared at the picture of organized food he sent to me. His maids made those...I thought. They looked good..really good. So good I was thinking of borrowing his maid. Wait, I bet he likes to eat a lot after sex cause who eats this big before smashing?! His house is breathtaking. I literally gasped when the gates opened...felt like riding into heaven. The driver parked in front, got out to let me out, but i beat him to it, i don't have that time..I let myself in ignoring the guards who tried to get the door for me. Like I knew where I was going cause damn! This house is big. I mean I've seen my share of really beautiful houses but his is kinda different and I'm guessing black is his favorite color as everything was in black except the walls and lights, some were a little bit black though, but it was beautiful!! CEO indeed.
Luckily he wasn't hard to spot as he was standing facing me with a small smile, as if he was waiting for his bride next to the dinner table. I notice the smile disappear for a second as if he was shocked I actually came before the smile came back..a little more like a smirk. Yeah, I know what you want asshole. I don't think I thought about it at all as I walk to where he's standing, not blinking or thinking, locked eye contact as i wrap my hands around his neck pulling him close to my face and softly place my lips on his.
I couldn't tell what his reaction was cause my eyes were closed but I know he wasn't expecting this and would be in shock right now. I notice he didn't try to pull me away or pull himself, I don't know what I was thinking as I use my tongue, savoring his taste, he smelled and tasted amazing...did he brush a billion times?? Now I don't mind sleeping with him. This could turn out to be an interesting night after all or so I thought as he suddenly seemed to come to his senses and pushed me off him staring in shock.
CREED: What the fuck?? Are you drunk?
I froze.
SOFIA: What?
CREED: What the hell is wrong with you? What did you do that for??!
SOFIA: What...you..you don't like it?
CREED: That's not the point! Why? Why did you do that?!
I seem to come to my senses, unfrozed.
SOFIA: What...what do you mean 'why'?!
CREED: You gotta be kidding me. Do you do this with other guys that invite you to dinner?
SOFIA: Huh...isn't this what you wanted?
CREED: What!
SOFIA: Don't fucking play dumb, you know what I'm talking about!!
CREED: Uhh...I fucking do not! So please enlighten me.
Shit..is this not what he wanted?? Okay fuck..now I'm not saying anything. Jeez girl say something!! Anything!! Really??? Nothing comes to mind?? Really!!!
CREED: I think we have all night for this. Please sit down ms.ives.
Shit. Shit. Shit!!!!
I reluctantly sit refusing to look at him, still thinking of what to say to him. I don't think his eyes left my face, I didn't look at him but I could tell he was staring deep into my soul.. I don't think I've ever been this mellow to a guy that wasn't 'Randy'. Finally, I looked at him and all I could say...
SOFIA: I'm..sorry.
CREED: No..I'm not upset. Damn, if anything, I'm actually glad it happened. I just thought it would happen after this amazing food. I wanna know why you did it.
SOFIA: I actually thought you wanted to sleep with me. And instead of telling me that first, you had to use a dinner date to cover it up.
CREED: Huh?!
SOFIA: Why'd you invite me over to your place instead? Who has their first date in thier home?! There are lots of restaurants in the city but nooo...you chose your house. Why?! Why did it have to be your house?! What could that possibly mean if not wanting to get me in bed?!
And with that, his facial expression changed. His eyes got darker still not leaving mine. And he wasn't sitting, so I felt a bit cold. He said nothing, just poured himself a drink and took it down in one gulp, hissing.
CREED: Okay...why do you think I would want to sleep with you? What if I invited you to dinner to discuss business?
SOFIA: Yeah right. *Roll eyes* You don't have any reason to ask me out, okay? We don't have the same line of business.
CREED: I do have a reason and it's not sex. Not that I wouldn't love that, and it might happen someday, not now atleast. It's weird for me, I don't know about you. Especially the way we got to know each other.
SOFIA: So...you're..you're not...and.. we're on a date? A real date?
CREED: I'm afraid so ms.ives. And if I wanted to sleep with anyone, you do realize you're not the only lady with a vagina right? There's a lot and I could pick anyone.
SOFIA: Shut the fuck up. You're just difficult to read. Plus the dumbas text you keep sending me, I thought you were flirting🫦. You need to stop being so damn mysterious over the phone. It's very misleading.
CREED: It was a simple text! How did you read that wrong??!
I refuse to reply him.
CREED: Wait...wait..so if I had wanted to sleep with you, why'd you make it that easy? Aren't you supposed to hate me or something?
SOFIA: Can we drop it? Why exactly am I here?
CREED: To have dinner with me, unless you have something else in mind which I am totally open for . I mean..it freaked me out before but I good and ready now...
SOFIA:Shut up!!
CREED: Damn your lips are soft...you're a good kisser. Which makes me want to punch myself cause I shouldn't have pulled you away.
SOFIA: Good fucking bye. *Stands up to leave*
CREED: Hey.. okay..okay..I'm sorry... Just playing .Please sit.
I really wasn't going to leave though but I'm glad he didn't want me to either. So i sit back down and take in the really attractive view in front of me and I'm not talking about the food. Yeah! Creed is very attractive like in a Telemundo kinda way. His lips, perfectly pouted, his bright brown eyes..damn! How did I not see this before? Oh yeah...I was defending my baby Preston and couldn't give two fucks about how anyone looked at that time. At least I did acknowledge the fact that he was attractive the first day I saw him, but I was blinded by anger to see any specific features. He opened the meals in front of us and I had to control myself cause...well...yeah, its not my house or my favorite person. He didn't really say anything to me and started eating.
CREED: I didn't poison it if that's what you're thinking. It's ot drugged either. I wouldn't dare.
SOFIA: That's not why I'm not eating yet.
CREED: Oh.. you're praying first? Cool.
I take a bite of the pasta 🍝 and almost screamed. What the hell did he put in this?! Then I move to the lasagna, taking a bite, my eyes wide open.
CREED: What...what is it? Are you allergic to anything in there? I'm Sorry...I'll call a doctor ...
SOFIA: No..did your maids actually prepare this?
CREED: Uh...no...not really. I made them.
Fuck No. No fucking way.
SOFIA: Oh..okay. It's good .
Who am I kidding?!?! This more than good?! How the hell is he still single?! Are women blind?
CREED: Thanks. You're not surprised are you?
SOFIA: A little I won't lie.
CREED: Can you cook?
SOFIA: Not like this atleast. So, no.
CREED: Good, thats something to keep us in contact for a while. I could teach you.
SOFIA: Really?
CREED: Not for free though.
SOFIA: You really need money from me?
CREED: Nah... something money can't buy. Not for you atleast cause money can buy the exact same thing you did to me few minutes ago and more.
SOFIA: You're silly. I'm serious though. I would love to learn to cook like this. And before you ask 'who I'm cooking for', it's for myself.
CREED: Doesn't really matter to me. Long as I get to teach you. Okay, but...But I do have one thing you should know.
SOFIA: Yeah?
CREED: If you cook for any guy, it's not gonna make any sense to him.
SOFIA: Oh..you are ..okay. got it. It's for myself.
CREED: Good. I'll let you know when class is starting.
SOFIA: Oh..no..no..I'm not coming to your house or anything. You're gonna have the receipe sent to me or something.
CREED: It's best learnt in person.
SOFIA: Of course. Uh...okay, so, are you gonna tell me why you invited me to dinner already?
CREED: To give you this.
He hands my ATM card to me and what?! He had it?!
SOFIA: Uhh...what? How'd ..
CREED: Our blind date. You left in a rage over the woman I was with and it fell. You didn't want to talk to me, so I didn't know how to return it.
SOFIA: Oh please...you could've mailed it or something.
CREED: Nah..that's not fun at all.I invited you over cause of that and I actually wanted to get to know you.
SOFIA: There's nothing to know about me mr.griffin.
CREED: There's something to know about everybody.
SOFIA: Why this sudden interest?
CREED: You're interesting. I mean..we had a pretty interesting introduction at the field, then the blind date charade...you're the first blind date I'm actually interested in and inviting to dinner.
SOFIA: Oh yippie. *Frowning*
CREED: I'm just saying.
SOFIA: Well I sorry to disappoint you mr.griffin, but the feeling is not mutual. I only came here to get you to stop bothering me. One date, and that's it.
CREED: Is that why you frenched me?
This is the first time I'm regretting kissing someone really attractive.
SOFIA: That meant nothing. I wasn't even thinking..
CREED: I'm sure.
SOFIA: Are we done here? I have to leave. I'm busy. *Stands*
CREED: With what? What are you going home to do? Okay..I'll guess...smoke? No...maybe you have someone waiting for you in a hotel. Someone you don't plan on being in a relationship with?
SOFIA: Whoa there... what the fu...have you been spying on me?!
CREED: Word gets around. It's not really a secret, is it? So please...can you sit?
SOFIA: I'd rather stand.
CREED: Okay...me too.
He walks a little too close to me, freaking me out.
SOFIA: That'll do mr.griffin.
CREED: You do know you can call me by my name right?
SOFIA: We're not friends.
CREED: And whose fault is that? I'm trying to be 'friends' with you but you keep pushing me away. Why are your walls so built up high with a lot of guards?
He is staring so deep into my eyes I could cry...and why the fuck am I trembling?! His words cannot possibly have any effect on me. No-way!
SOFIA: Can you stop coming close?
CREED: I'm afraid I can't do that.
And he really couldn't do that. I kept moving back and slowly he followed, staring at me with those eyes. Why!? Why??!! Why did I have to kiss him? Now I've put idea in his head. Is he gonna kiss me? I stop as my back hit a wall with nowhere to move, I give in an close my eyes, expecting the worse.
