Abigail Romanova's Monologue and death [Sophia Miller]

I wake up, do my routine, and get ready to have another day of one hectic emotion after another.

Yeah right. The first thing I do in the morning is write to Nick.

"Good Morning" -. It was written in the message I sent.

I looked at how in a short time, the message was sent, received, read and answered; everything in that sequence. It seems that he does not lose the habit of getting up early as usual.

"Starbucks, at 1PM"

. . .

At that moment, something in my head told me to immediately call this airhead.

After pressing the call button, it didn't take half a second for him to answer.

"Did I do something... to annoy you...?

His voice is hesitant. Hah... it would be nice if you didn't think that I'm going to mistreat you all the time, you know?

─Nothing yet. I just wanted to hear your voice early in the morning and ask if we go to school together.

─I'm getting out of the shower. If you're going to pick me up, I'll be waiting for you in twenty minutes.

─ Are you going to hang up?

─... shouldn't I...?

As always, you are so dense!

I hate having to tell you things directly so you don't misunderstand what I'm saying! Fool!

─Just stay like this for a moment. I want to talk about something important with you.

─Hah... I hear you.

─What was that sigh?

─My hopes of going to my first college class on time. Wow, Anatomy I will have to wait.

─We are in college, it's okay if we miss a couple of times, but only once in a while.

─So what are you going to tell me?

I hear the exasperation in his voice.

Well...

It is time to properly organize the ideas that I had last night before going to sleep. Starting with the reason why I would like Nick to really become my boyfriend. But I can't be direct about that. Nick will reject me deadpan if I ask him right now about being real boyfriends. If I say something like that, I'm sure he will tease me mercilessly. I'd hate that and then lock myself in my room to vent over wine. Therefore, I cannot be too obvious. I have to make Nick come to the same conclusion as me on his own account, if he were to say that he wants to have a real relationship with me, then there would be no problem after that. The tricky thing will be how to convince Nick that this is what he wants. Of course. After so much torture and blackmail, Nicholas naturally became quite reserved with me and tries his best not to expose his own neck in my direction. I know he trusts me, but I can't make him love me even with that. What is the best course of action then? Simple. I have to do something to blow Nick's ideas to such an extent that even he is capable of bowing. Of course. Without violence.

Considering all the factors and possibilities in this bet, I have to play my best persuasion and charm cards from now on. All with the motive of making Nick focus his interests totally on me.

By himself, he already acts that way by pretending to be my boyfriend. Therefore, only a little push will be necessary to fully convince you.

Hehe, I'm a genius, don't you think so?

Who would say that Sophia Miller has the famous Nicholas Hawk in her hand as a mere pawn?

Therefore. My strategically selected words are the following:

─Hey, Nicholas. -. Start.

─What? -. Ask for courtesy.

A satisfying smile appears on my face and even though he can't see my expression, I let him know of my happiness using my tone of voice.

─I was thinking. What should I wear. I am currently in underwear and I would like to know what you might like.

─Ghgfhfghfhg!

His reaction is just as he expected.

Even if he's a... Fuckboy is what they call him? Nah, he doesn't care. Still, even as an expert on women as he is, Nicholas Hawk is quite touchy when it comes to suggestive situations like this.

It's a fact, I'm in my underwear right after taking a bath. Lying on my bed, phone in hand near my left ear.

I stand up, open the camera application on my cell phone and take a photo reflected in the mirror. Just like that, I send it to Nicholas. In the photo I show myself, with the excellent and desirable figure that I have wearing black lingerie.

─You...! Sophia, don't send this kind of thing to my cell phone!

Hearing his voice complaining is so adorable, as always, hehe.

─And if not, what? Are you going to punish me?

Obviously my best course of action is to bother him with this.

What...? No, well... it's just you and I... we're not really in a relationship. This will stay that way until you get bored of me and I can't complain... just please keep these things for someone who really gets to love you, okay?

. . .

─Mainly... because we are not in a relationship, I am sending you these things.

His comment went too far this time.

I'm not going to punish him. But still...

Even so.

Why am I... crying?

I feel a horrible pain in my chest. So strong. Unbearable and inescapable that makes me clench my teeth to bear the pain while the silver drops of water fall down my cheeks.

─U-uh... -. The sobs inadvertently escape my lips, I'm trying to wipe the tears away but they don't stop coming out.

─... sorry. I must hang up. I'll make it up to you later.

─Wait! How will you make up for the tears a lady sheds because of you?!

─About that... I'll think of something. Just be sure that she is going to make up for all the times I've made you cry. Sorry. I apologize for never taking your feelings into account.

And after that, the call was cut.

Well, at least he didn't say anything about me not picking it up, so I guess it's okay if I do it anyway.

Haha, did you believe it?

Of course this was all an act to trick Nick into owing me something. Nothing more than that.
