Sophia was still catching up with Alex when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID to find out that it was Jayden who was calling her. She knows that it's because of the text message she sent to him a few minutes ago.Sophia sent that message because Alex does romantic stuff and says that it's what he would normally do for a friend, so she has to go ahead with the plan to know if he's actually being truthful that he doesn't see her in a romantic way."Um…I really enjoyed my time with you tonight. I'm happy that we got to talk. And I'm also happy that we have squashed our little beef. Now, I have to retire to bed." Sophia said, still looking at her vibrating phone. She wanted to leave the dining room immediately and answer the call."Are we back to hiding stuff from each other?" Alex asked out of the blue. He was sipping his black coffee because it helps him stay up at night and get some work done."I don't understand–what do you mean?" Sophia asked in a confused tone. She didn't

Alex was already having breakfast the next day when Sophia hastily made her way to the door without noticing Alex's presence. She was almost at the door when Alex's voice stopped her."Hey you, where are you rushing off to this early?" Alex asked puzzled.Sophia immediately stopped and turned to meet eyes with Alex who was already looking at her. Wow, she wondered how she didn't notice him in the first place.She swiftly walked over to him and hugged him from the back, "Good morning bestie. I'm sorry that I didn't notice you. I was just in a hurry to leave. I have to be somewhere in the next few minutes." Sophia apologized.Alex tugged at her hands making her stand in front of him. He gave her a once over just to discover that she was looking exceptionally beautiful today. She made a lot of conscious attempts on her look today."You look extremely stunning today. Don't get me wrong, you always look beautiful but I can't help but notice that there is a lot of effort being put into your

Alex is very worried about his best friend. Ever since the news of this new admirer, Sophia's behavior has totally changed towards him. She no longer calls to check on him during working hours. She doesn't pick up his calls immediately he calls and she doesn't return them either. He was truly concerned and totally worried that he would lose his only best friend to a stranger.He has been restlessly sitting in the sitting room waiting for Sophia to walk through that door. It is 10 pm already and She is nowhere to be seen and she isn't even picking up her calls or replying to his text messages.He called Jayden about an hour ago and he said the same thing– that Sophia was ignoring his calls too. Alex still couldn't rest even after Jayden told him that Sophia was with her new love interest and that she was in safe hands. Alex doesn't like this new development at all. In his opinion, This dude she is now going out with has changed her behavior drastically. Normally, Sophia wouldn't be out

Sophia sat on her bed pouting. She was so pissed right now. "Like– how could he?" She asked herself for the umpteenth time. Just before she could stand up and go to the bathroom, her phone started vibrating. She looked at it to see that it was already 11: 45 pm and that it was Jayden who was calling her.Sophia picked up her phone, "Yeah, why aren't you sleeping?" Sophia asked immediately in a clipped tone. She wasn't in the mood to exchange words with another person tonight.Jayden didn't need any soothsayer to tell him that the fight went bad. "I just wanted to check up on you. Have you trashed your differences with Alex? Are you both cool with each other now?" Jayden asked even when he already had an inkling what the answer would be."Well, I should really thank you for bringing me back to this hellhole to come and receive the greatest insults of my life. Alex is just so mean. I don't even want to see him right now." Sophia said, confirming Jayden's suspicions."What happened exact

Jayden was about to open his mouth and say something when Sophia abruptly cut him off."Don't you dare say anything?" Sophia snapped and Jayden held his lips to avoid a slip of the tongue. He was just being dramatic and Sophia knows this.Alex immediately got up, wore his flip-flops, and left the room without saying anything. He was still trying to piece together what happened back there. He made his way to his room. When he got there, he opened his bedside drawer and took out some pain relief pills. He downed them with water and flopped on his bed.Meanwhile, Jayden still hadn't left Sophia's room. Sophia looked mortified over what she woke up to but she did not doubt that nothing happened between them. Alex is a noble man, she has nothing to worry about about him sleeping on the same bed with her. Her only worry is that Jayden got to see them in that position, that was the only reason she was mortified.Jayden made his way to Sophia's bed smiling from ear to ear. He looked like he j
