CHAPTER FIVE

"Two cheese burger and a lemon juice.....you can add French fries"

Sophia smiled "got it..give me little minutes ma'am" she replied smiling down at the old woman.

She brought her orders after some while

"Enjoy" She left for the rest room. "3:15pm?" She said checking her phone "wow time is really flying" she added.

Sophia returned back to work as she took other people's order. She noticed the old woman waving at her. "Hey ma'am, do you need anything else?" Sophia asked smiling.

"Why do you work here Sophia?" The woman asked, she looked up at Sophia who looked surprised.

Sophia smiled "I need money ma'am, that is why" Sophia replied

"Aren't you Mr Hernandez only daughter, I am sure he doesn't know you work here Sophia" the old woman said talking a bite from her cheese burger.

Sophia looked around. She sat down quickly "how do you know Dad?" Sophia asked as she watch the woman gulped her lemon juice. She dropped the glass of juice carefully

"I used to know your father, you were so little then, and quite popular too"

"Well...only my parents are popular, I am not" Sophia replied "I thought I was, mom and Dad can't walk in public the way I do without been noticed" Sophia added.

"Just be yourself sweetheart, you will be fine" the old woman said. "I think your manager is coming in too" the woman added.

Sophia jumped up, she looked at the old woman who continue eating

"Please don't tell Dad you saw me here" Sophia whispered to her. She left hurriedly to attend to other customers.

"She is as sweet as ever" the old woman smiled.

Sophia got done for the day as she headed out, she stood by the road side trying to get a taxi. She later got in a taxi she had stopped...she was still in the taxi when she saw him passing by.

She looked back sharply "oh my God! He is the one....STOP!" She said out, the taxi man stopped the car immediately. Sophia jumped out as she gave the taxi man his money.

She followed him silently...after a while she saw him entering an apartment.

"Is that where he lives?" Sophia whispered to herself. She stood there staring at where he lives. "He is just a normal guy, I don't think he is a ghost" Sophia said...

"Why do you think I will be a ghost?"

"Jesus!" Sophia yelled out. She looked back and could see him standing right in front of her. "How did you?" She said pointing at where he had entered "how?" She looked at him confused.

"I sneaked back here after I saw you standing right in front of my house" he replied. Sophia looked at him from his head to toes "he is the one" she thought.

"You were the one I saved yesterday at the tavern and I don't get a simple thank you?" He said

"Why are you following me? Who are you?" Sophia asked. He smiled slightly "really? If anyone is following anyone here then it is you" he said folding his arms.

Sophia looked down at her feet, she looked away shyly. "Thank you for saving me" she said

"Mmmhh! Mmmhh!" He replied looking at her as she tried avoiding eye contact.

"And I am sorry for puk...puking at you"

"Sorry? I can't hear you" he said as he pushed his head forward. Sophia smirked at him. "Sorry I puked at you too" Sophia said out.

"Hey man!"

Sophia could see three guys coming towards them...they all greeted Sophia's dream guy.

"Is this your girlfriend? This is like the very first time I will see you with a girl" one of the guys said

"Girlfriend? Sophia and the guy said out.

"Girlfriend...." Sophia bluffed out "I will be on my way now" she said as she turned to leave.

"No no...you are not leaving now that we are here" another guy said as they all except from Sophia dream guy agreed.

They pulled Sophia in, she tried getting away but she ended up in. She stood by the door looking around "definitely men apartment" she rolled her eyes

"Hey Climax, why is your girlfriend by the door step... we don't bite" one of them said as he brought out drinks from the refrigerator.

"Climax? I see" Sophia whispered to herself "he must be a pervert or something worst" she said to herself as she saw him coming towards her. She swallowed hard

"Do you want to stand there or you are going to sit" he said staring into her eyes, she looked away immediately and she started coughing. He hurried to get her a glass of water.

She took it from him and drink it all

"Easy" he said looking at her. He took the glass cup from her

"Thank you" she replied looking away. He stared at her intensely for a while, she looked up at him and caught his eye on her

"Is that Michael Jackson" Sophia said out, she moved away from him smiling "cute" she said smiling at the MJ portrait on the wall. There were 4 guys in the house. Climax was the only light skinned guy among them, there was a full black guy and two whites guys.

Sophia sat down gently on the couch near her as she noticed her dream guy also sitting with the other guys.

"You are one cute white girl" the black guy said smiling at Sophia "where are you from?" He asked. Sophia smiled

"I am from here...what about you guys?" Sophia asked. One of the white guys offered her a beer, she glanced at Climax as he looked away

"NO! I am not really good with alcohol" she said smiling.

"Okay so I am Bryan" the white guy that offered her drink said smiling.

"Pete" the other white guy said offering her his hands. She took his hand laughing out, Sophia looked at the black guy who grinned at her. They all laughed out except for Climax

"I am Daniel....me, Pete and Bryan are from California and Climax right here is from?" Daniel said looking at Climax who smiled.

"New York" he replied clearing his throat

"Wait a minute girl....what's your name?" Pete asked

"Yeah...tell us?" The three guys all said, Sophia smiled shyly.

"Anne" she replied smiling. "Wait a minute,,,why did I just lie?" She thought as she kept smiling. They all talked about lot of things and play hand games, she noticed Climax didn't take part of the beer.

After a long while, Sophia forgot it was late. She was totally enjoying her night with the guys, Pete noticed Daniel and Bryan has already fallen asleep "really guys" he said half asleep.

Sophia looked back and noticed the three guys were fast asleep, she looked around and couldn't find Climax. She saw him coming out of the kitchen, he caught Sophia staring and ignored her.

"This drunkard are sleeping" he said shaking his head, he brought out a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator.

"Why have beer in there when he doesn't take it" Sophia said to herself. She could see him gulping the water, she watched as it pass through his throat "he is hot" she whispered to herself.

"How long are you going to keep staring Anne" Climax said sitting down. Sophia chuckled as she looked away..

"Sooooooo.... Climax? Is that your real name or a nick name?" She asked looking straight at him. He gently placed down his bottle of water on the table as he looked up at Sophia.

"Why do you think I will be a ghost" he stood up walking towards her.

"Why is he coming near me" Sophia whispered to herself...
