I know it's going to be difficult, but I have no choice, and if Sophia doesn't accept it, then I will have to take her to the pack. - I wonder what my father is planning, but whatever it is, it better be good. But at the moment, I have to protect Sophia from Carlos.

SOPHIA'S POV
The next day.
As we were unpacking my bags in Nicky's apartment - cause I moved out of Bryan's apartment that morning - I decided to ask Nicky if Bennett said anything bad to her, probably anything he wasn't supposed to say.
I mean, I can't trust him so easily, I've only known him for like a few days. OK, maybe I'm lying to myself, I kind of trust him even though I don't know him that well, which is one of the reasons why I hate 'love'. Wait! What love, who loves who? Not possible.
"Nicky are you sure Bennett didn't say anything bad to you?" I asked her.
I could swear that she stiffened at the mention of his name.
"I've told you Sophia, he didn't say anything hurtful to me," she stuttered.
"Then why are you scared of him?"
"I'm not scared of him," she argued.
"You are Nicky, but if you don't want to talk about it, then no problem, I understand"
I continued hanging my clothes in the wardrobe while she unpacked them from my bag.
She saw the dress I wore to my high school graduation ceremony and she started laughing.
"The day they made this dress was the day God created clowns," she blurted out as she laughed.
OK, the naughty Nicky is back.
The dress in question was actually beautiful, but, of course, any dress that doesn't suit Nicky's taste is automatically the worst dress ever.
I snatched the dress from her.
"Give me my dress, this dress is very beautiful, I don't know why you are laughing."
"Yeah, except that it looks like a clown suit," she said and laughed.
I don't have time for her savage right now.
And since Bennett's topic has closed and the tension seems to have cleared, I decided to ask what has been bothering me since last night.
When Bennett was driving us to my ex apartment last night, I felt like someone was spying on us, I became uncomfortable, I looked at the side view mirror and saw a Toyota Corolla tailing us, I guess Bennett noticed it too, because he increased the speed.
When he dropped us off and drove out, I looked around as I was looking for my key in my purse, I saw another Corolla parked opposite the apartment. Fear gripped me when I saw it again, tailing the taxi that conveyed Nicky and I to her apartment.
"Nicky, did you notice the Corolla car that had been following us?" I asked her.
She squeezed her face in surprise, I guess that's a no.
"Corolla car, why will a car be following us or is he a secret admirer?" She asked and winked at me.
