Chapter 9: Unexpected

Sofia's Point Of View :

I wonder why it's ten in the evening but Alexus is still not here. Earlier, these three of his friends were waiting for him.

"Is he still coming?" Clyde asked impatiently.

"Don't know," Dylan shrugged.

"What are you guys, don't be bored, you know our friend is busy. I'm sure he's on his way home." Felix, on the other hand, spoke as if he didn't seem impatient to wait for Alexus.

Even though I've been bored for a while, he didn't even say that he would be home late. Then these friends of his suddenly appeared, I couldn't prepare what they could have eaten.

"Oh, there he is." We simultaneously looked at the door after it opened. But we were all stunned and seemed to have seen a ghost.

"What's up guys! I miss you all! Yey!" Alexus is now with a very beautiful woman. Her smoothness, her height and how beautiful she really is. She is like a goddess of beauty.

I just kept standing here in a corner while watching them squirm. If you look at them, they all seem very close. As for me, I don't seem to exist in their world. I felt isolated because of what was happening now, I had to turn around to get away from them but it was too late because Nicole had already noticed me.

"Oh, who is she guys?" Nicole asked confusingly.

"She's Sofia, my girlfriend." Felix suddenly approached me then he put his arm around me as if I was his girlfriend. Alexus was just looking at us while I was confused again. It's like there's something aching right now in my chest, I'm not used to this feeling. It's like I want to cry that I don't understand.

"Really? Wow! When else? You, you're not saying that you already had a girlfriend. Anyway, you're something. You're cute." Nicole said.

"Thank you," I have nothing else say, so I just smiled at them— a fake smile to be exact. I didn't expect Nicole to come home this early. If I only knew now who she was, I would have gone home to my mom.

"So, since it's our 4th anniversary we're going to drink! Woah" Based on how Nicole's acted now, it is as if she's not the famous international model. She's so simple yet attractive lady. So I won't wonder why Alexus loved her so much.

I was really felt isolated while looking at them, that I was forced to just say goodbye to them. There's still have a trip home today, so I'll just go home.

"Guys, I feel bad. I'm going home," they looked at me at the same time, again I gave them a fake smile.

"I'll drive you home," Felix immediately stood up and held my hand. It's like we're really in love when he says hello today. After all, Alexus will be ruined if we don't stand by pretending to be boyfriend's and girlfriend's.

"I'll take you to two outside," Alexus volunteered. I just closed my eyes after he kissed Nicole right in front of me.

"Come back soon babe," Nicole instructed him with a smile. Alexus just smiled at her before joining us out.

"Sofia," Alexus called me that's why I stopped to face him.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry," he said sadly.

"Hey, you don't really have to be sorry." I smiled to him for assurance, that I am really okay.

"Still, I'm sorry. I know you're shocked." He insisted.

'Hey, I'm not only got shocked, I was also hurt.'

I wanted to tell him that but I knew I had no right to be hurt because in the first place, I was paid.

"It's okay." I answered.

"All right bro, we'll go first." Felix said to cut our conversation.

"Take care." He said before finally heading back inside his condo.

"Thank you." I said in almost a whispered.

While Felix and I were in the car I just remained silent. I don't want to speak, because when I speak I know my treacherous tears will drip.

"I'm a friend, don't be scared to cry." I turned to Felix who was driving seriously.

"Why am I hurting?" At the same time as I asked, my tears were flowing.

"Because you love him." I looked at him again, but a strange look.

"Hey! Are you kidding? That crazy man—I love? No way!" I refuse. How can I love him? There is someone who love him, and I know there is no destination if I love him. His heart is already occupied by someone who's better in every way, compared than me.

"Accept it, you already fall in love with him."

"How can you say so? No, of course I am not." I keep on denying to him.

"Because I feel you." I was shocked after he stopped his car to one side. If I'm not mistaken, we were in a public garden where a lot of people were strolling.

"Why did we stop?" I asked him in shocked.

"I want to tell you something," he seriously answered.

"What it is?"

"Sofia, I like you." I freeze for a moment because of what he had just said.

"What?" I asked him again in disbelief.

"I like you." He just repeat what he had said earlier.

"Felix you shouldn't like me. I'm a dirty woman, I agreed to have—"

"Sofia stop it! I know you're not that kind of woman. I'm serious, I want you." I cried even more because of what I was hearing now from Felix. As in for the first time, someone told me he liked me.

"Thank you. Thank you for liking me even though—"

"Stop it here, don't underestimate yourself. For me, you are the most amazing woman I've ever known. You have a good heart and a lovable personality."

After hearing those words from him I just felt him wiping the tears flowing from my eyes.

After Felix confessed to me, we both decided to go home. I don't know what he meant when he confessed to me before, but I only know one thing now, and that makes me happy.

I'm happy with the fact that for the first time, someone had admitted to me that he liked me.

Mom was already asleep when I came home so I went up to my room quietly, it's hard for me to wake up mommy and I haven't been preached to yet.

By the way, mommy already knew that Alexus and I were married and even Alexus' parents, they were very happy for us. If they only knew Alexus and I's secret, I don't know if they would enjoy it, especially Mom.

It's been three weeks since Alexus and I got married. We got along well, I just don't know now that Nicole has arrived if we'll still be okay. I hope I can cope with the next few days. Hopefully, I can stand this tire I entered until everything is in order.
