CHAPTER NINE

Sophia decided to stay with Ava for some days without going out. Ava always meet her on the bed every time she gets home.

"You need to get your lazy self up Soph. You can't just keep sleeping you lazy roach" Ava said as she got in.

"What? Since I have no job now, I will just have to stay home and sleep till I get lost in my dreams" Sophia replied, she felt Ava pulling her legs.

"Get up and go out..take in fresh air and stop acting like an old lady" Ava said "FINE" Sophia replied

"Where do you expect me to go now?" Sophia said groaning out

"Just go out, you need to go out for a little while" Ava said and gave Sophia her backpack "there, now go out!!!" she said pushing her out. "Come back after 5hours" Ava added.

Sophia groaned out "where am I supposed to go for 5hours Ava? You know I don't want to go home for now" Sophia said "please just let me in sweetheart"

"Go out" Ava replied as she locked the door. Sophia sighed "my best friend is mean" she said and walked away from the door "do I even have money" she searched her pocket "yes I get some" she brought out 20dollars from her back pocket

"Wrinkled 20dollars....interesting" Sophia cried out. Where do I go now?" She rolled her eyes.

"Taxi" she called out for a taxi

"Where to ma'am?" The taxi driver asked.

"Yes Sophia...where to?" Sophia said to herself. She remembered she haven't seen Climax in days "yes that will be a perfect place to go" she said.

After awhile she got to Climax apartment, she knocked and couldn't hear anyone reply. "Are they even home?" She said as she turned to leave

"Anne?"

Sophia looked back and could see Climax standing by the door, he was looking so beautiful as ever "Wow" Sophia blinked fast "Maxy" she said smiling "I don't know but I feel so happy to see him" She thought.

"How are you Anne? I haven't been seeing you around, are you okay? I went to your house and your work place...I heard you quit, I thought you disappeared on me and you were the actual ghost" Climax said smiling.

"I just....it's a long story for real, can I come in?" Sophia replied.

"Yes why not...please come in Señorita" Sophia Walked in, "I was arranging my room before you knocked Anne, will you wait for me here or...." Climax said looking at Sophia.

"Let me guess, it is so rough and you have been cleaning for hours?" Sophia said folding her arms.

Climax smiled "I just started....hey I am not that dirty" he replied "wanna come" he said. "Yes, let us see your room" she replied as she followed him in his room.

"Oh my God....Maxy, your room looks rough..like super rough" Sophia said laughing out. "Hey don't mock me Anne, I saw you that day, you kicked your panties under the bed" Climax replied.

Sophia stares at him "you...you saw that?" She said shyly and could see Climax laughing as he continue cleaning up.

"Where are your friends?" Sophia asked.

"They don't stay here with me, they come here sometimes" he replied. Sophia saw a novel on his table, she picked it up "you read novels? Interesting". She opened it

"Romantic novels?" She looked up at Climax who smiled.

"I am a love person Anne, so yes I read romantic novels" Climax replied, he locked his wardrobe "done with that" he said to himself. Sophia sat down looking at Climax who caught her "what? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.

"Where are your parent?" Sophia said. Climax was startled with the question, he sighed "can we please not talk about that for now?" He replied.

"Okay I don't want it to seem like I am prying" Sophia said, she noticed a stuffed rabbit on his shelf. She stood up "you got a stuffed toy too? I can see you are a baby Maxy." Sophia stretched to take the toy but her hand couldn't reach.

"I have kept that since I was 6...I really love that little dude there, I feel like he get me" he moved near Sophia to get the toy down. Sophia took it from him "Awe, he is so cute, what do you call him?"

"Mr Heliopes"

"What?" Sophia laughed out, she fell on his bed laughing "Heniopes?"

"Mr Heliopes, call it right" Climax replied smirking at Sophia who was laughing "and I just arranged the bed" he added. "Get up"

"Nooo!" She said "hello Mr Heliopes, how was Climax like when he was little?" She said as she move Mr Heliopes closer to her ear "uhm...uhn...yeah..." she gasped "really, I knew it" she added.

"You are crazy" Climax shook his head

"Where are your parent Anne?" Climax who sat on the chair said looking at Sophia. Sophia put down mr Mr Heliopes "they are doing good and please let's not go there Maxy" she replied.

There was a silence between them "are you okay? Why did you quit your job? Was it because of what happen that day at your job?" Climax asked

"No...I just, I don't know... I guess I got tired of the job" she replied looking up at the ceiling.

"You are one weird lady" he said smiling "so what will you be doing to make money miss Anne?" He asked

"I don't know Maxy, I could clean your room everyday and you pay me" she replied grinning at Climax. He laughed out "what? Weirdo" he laughed harder "like you really going to do it" he said "and thank you so much ma'am, I can actually clean up myself" he added.

"Nah, you are such a baby" she said in a low voice. She closed her eyes and sighed deeply "I am so broke Maxy, I am so broke and that is not good...is it?" She opened her eyes and could see Climax on her.

"What are you doing so close to my face" Sophia said nervously

"You called me a baby remember? What about you getting away from a baby" Climax replied smiling.

"He is so handsome! How is he so handsome, how is that even possible?" She thought as she stare at Climax who was still smiling .

"Get up" she tried pushing him off but she couldn't. He pinned her two hands down "what did you call me again?" Climax said as they stared at each other for awhile

"You are so pretty" he said.
