So much to Sophia's relief, the ring fitted perfectly to Anthony's finger. After that, the all dinned together. Sophia had a good night, she and Mrs Ambrose bonded even more. She was thankful that she got such an in law like her.
It was already quite late, After dinning, Sophia excused herself and wanted to go back home but Emilia didn't let Sophia got home alone. It was her at first place who asked her to see her so it was her responsibility to assure that she come back safe and sound.
She asked Anthony to take her back.
She didn't mind it at all, in fact, she was happy with that. It was an opportunity for them to be alone and to learn about each other.
She was determined to make their relationship work.
The night was peaceful and so quiet, and made it comfortable. There wasn't that much car on the road anymore. Less noise, all the lights was was already on make the city look so beautiful.
All along the way, the car was filled with silence, a comfortable one. Sophia was too tiered to talked and was so concentrate contemplating the beauty of the city at night. Anthony was enjoying the night too.
Little by little, tiredness took over Sophia's body and her eye lids became heavier and heavier until her yes totally close.
She fell asleep.
It didn't take long for them to reach Sophia's propriety.
Anthony didn't realized that Sophia was sleeping until the moment he turned at her.
Without knowing it, it stared at the girl, analyzing her. He then realized that Sophia wasn't that bad, she was beautifully simple. A little bit pale and a little bit skinny.
So sad he thought, that a girl like her has actually a bad character.
As of on que, Sophia slowly woke up. She realized that the car wasn't moving anymore only after some minutes. The car was parked before their gate. Anthony on the other hand, acted nonchalantly, as if minutes ago he wasn't staring at her!
_"Have we been here for a long time?" Sophia asked embarrassed. She was ashamed that she made him wait for a long time even though he still had to go home.
_" No." He lied, trying to speak normally hiding the fact that he was about to be caught staring at Sophia.
Sophia feel relieved.
_"Thank you for bringing me back home." She thanked him with a little smile.
She opened the car's door and ones it opened, she felt the cool breeze of the night on her skin. She didn't plan on going back home late so she didn't bring a warm clothes.
She didn't say that she was cold but her body was showing it and Anthony saw it.
She undid her seatbelt and was about to get off the car when Anthony stopped her.
_"Wait!" He called for her.
Sophia stopped and turned to him, she didn't understand what did he wanted. Anthony reached for something form the backseat of the car, and handed it to her.
It was a jacket.
His jacket.
_"Take it and wear it." Sophia was kind of surprised by his action. She didn't expect it at all.
_"I wouldn't want to be held as the responsible if ever you catch a cold." He explained when he saw her confused.
But whatever Anthony gave her as an explanation, she didn't hear it anymore, her brain was only focusing on the fact that Anthony gave her his jacket. She was happy inside , and she tried so much to not show her feeling on her face, she tried to hold a natural face.
_"What will you wear then?" She still asked, worried about him. She has already came back so didn't really need it. She just had to run to reach the house quickly.
_"My car has an air conditioner." He replied nonchalantly.
Sophia took the jacket and wore it. The jacket was filled with Anthony's scent. She loved it. It felt like it she was enveloped by Anthony.
She finally got off the car and closed the door. She asked to the security agent to opened the gate and finally she got inside. Anthony stayed there until, watching over her, making sure that se has reached home. He got back home only when he saw Sophia entering her house.
Sophia was happy with her day, it was filled with little moments, at first unpleasant but at the end turned out so satisfying. She got see some sides of Anthony. She went to sleep with smile on her face and with Anthony's jacket just next to her.
The next day, she hang out with Oliver as she promised him
