Sophia's lie

"Hi Alexander, I wanted to talk to you, it's that okay?"

"Yes, please come"

"Thank you"

Sophia went inside and sat on Alexander's couch.

"Sorry if I took the liberty to sit before you tell me to do it"

"No, it's okay, please feel at home"

"Thank you..."

"So... What do you want to talk about?"

Sophia began to cry.

"What-What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"Alexander, you are my only friend, the only one that has been with me for a long time... "

"What happened?"

Sophia began to cry harder.

"Do you remember the man that married my mother?"

"Yes"

"He wanted to touch me!"

"What?! Let's go to your home and tell your mother, that monster can't live there anymore, he must be in jail!!"

"No Alexander, please don't... I have already told my mother that man was harassing me but she didn't want to hear me... I don't have a place to live for now until I find an apartment... I wanted to live with one of my friends but they are living together in a tiny place, I can't bother them... So can you please let me stay here until I find somewhere to live?"

"Yes, you can stay here all the time you need but that man can't go away with what he has done"

"Please, don't make things more difficult between my mother and me... I just want to forget everything"

"Ok ok don't cry, you can sleep in my room, I'll sleep here"

"No, how can I do that, this is your home, I must be the one sleeping here in the couch"

"How can I let you sleep here? I'm a gentleman don't forget"

"*Giggle*... Thank you!"

....

Next morning, Alexander went to college with Sophia, they were talking and laughing while walking towards their first class.

Elizabeth saw at this and she couldn't help but feel a painful throb in her heart, she didn't like him being too close to another woman.

"Hi Elizabeth" Alexander greeted her.

"Hello Alexander, Sophia"

"Hi Elizabeth" Sophia smiled.

"Elizabeth, today you don't have to go to work, I'm going out with Sophia to look for an apartment" Alexander didn't feel anything wrong, after all for him Sophia was like his sister.

"Ah ok" Elizabeth was really sad, but they are not a couple, she can't say anything.

Sophia smiled looking at her expression.

'I will let you know who is the true winner... I have been with him for a long time so he will always prioritize me'

....

Elizabeth felt extremely down so she didn't pay much attention to the class. She knows Sophia and Alexander have known each other for a long time but she thought the fate was stronger and that he wouldn't let her aside for another woman.

Alexander wanted to invite Elizabeth to have lunch but Sophia approach him with tears in her eyes saying that she talked with her mother and she didn't believe her. So Alexander decided to spend the lunch with Sophia, just the two of them.

Alexander's friends were speechless, they didn't know what has happened but this was definitely intriguing, after all they know that Alexander likes Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth, do you want to have a meal with us?" Paul asked, he felt that it was wrong to leave her alone after spending all these days with her, he could feel that she didn't have more friends, and even though she was with them because Alexander, they like her.

"No, it's okay, I must go to my room to study, I'm not feeling really good right now... But thank you for inviting me" Elizabeth smiled at Paul and left.

Paul could see why Alexander likes the girl so much, she is cute.

"Something must have happened, Alexander wouldn't go to eat with Sophia just because she wanted to" Charles said.

"Yes, this must be one of Sophia's plans" Wilson said.

"Well, we can't say anything, she is like a sister to Alexander so he loves her, remember the last thing we said about Sophia, she went to cry in his shoulder and he didn't talk to is for a month" Paul ended the conversation with that and walked with the group to the cafeteria.

....

Elizabeth went to her room and her tears just fall down.

She knows well that Alexander is a human so he can't feel the connection, but for her it's different, she is a vampire and he is her beloved, it's a connection that starts even before they met each other.

"Don't cry my child, don't cry... Humans are like this, one day they love you and the other they change you... But fate is fate, even if he is now with another woman at the end he will be with you"

"But I don't want a man that has been touched by another woman while I'm near... I shouldn't have come grandma"

"We are already here sweetie... Let's forget about this, today I'm going to teach you how to read fortune"

"With what? Tarot, hand reading, runes, coins?"

"Let's begin with the tarot... The tarot mallet has 22 major arcanes and they represent the most important keys of the tarot..."

Granny Moon began to teach Elizabeth they ways of reading the tarot to stop her from thinking about Alexander.

....

Meanwhile Alexander went to every single place with Sophia looking for an apartment but she didn't like anyone, they were too small or too big, at the end of the day she went to his apartment to sleep, but that night Alexander didn't sleep there, he went to sleep at his mother's house because she was in her honeymoon with her new lover.

The next day neither Alexander nor Sophia went to class, this caused Elizabeth to feel worst, but she had to go to work, after all Alexander didn't say anything about not working that day.

When Elizabeth went to Alexander's apartment the one who opened the door was Sophia. Elizabeth felt like someone stabbed her heart, and then Alexander just happened to appear with food for Sophia.
