18. A Queen!
Sophia's POV
As I settled in Nick's car with him , I spoke.
"Nick." I called.
"Yeah?" He said looking at his phone.
"Uhh .." I hesitated. I was worried that he might again insult me saying that it is his house and I was no one to invite someone over. His changed behaviour had given me the courage but now I am seriously worried considering his great liking towards Ryan.
"Come on , say it." Keeping aside his phone , he looked up at me.
"Actually , I uhh I had just invited my friends , Caleb and Erica over to your house for dinner . Caleb called and he wanted to meet so I uhh just thought... but please don't shout , if you want I will change the plan. I can just ask them to meet at a restau-"

I remembered how we slept last which made me smile.I was unable to move because of the weight on my waist and my legs being tangled with his. I wiggled and finally was able to turn towards him.Even in his sleep he managed to look gorgeous. His mouth was a bit parted and his hair messy. He looked cute , unlike his usual intimidating look.I couldn't control the urge to run my hands through his hair. All of a sudden I was pulled even closer to him by my waist. He was now looking at me and his lips were slightly raised at the corners." Good morning , Sophia." His morning voice was so hot , God!" Good morning ."

Sophia's POV"-and she was wasted ." Tyler said, describing Skyler's first drinking experience."Oh , I can go for hours without getting wasted."

I sometimes prepare breakfast for us because Ethan has taken a liking to my cooking. Me and Nick go and come back from the office together. Although it's Amy's job , I still sometimes help Ethan in his studies to make sure he is doing well. We have our dinner together and go to bed cuddling with each other.

Nick's POVI was getting ready for the party . I had asked Sophia to come with me. Previously, I had missed a party because at that time I didn't want to go anywhere with her but a lot of things have changed in this period. I am over my misconceptions about her and this time I am proud to be able to bring her to the party as my wife.From the very first day , each and every family member of mine has been fond of her. Even Caleb took a liking to her at the first sight but I was blind to her innocence.

Her blue eyes and hourglass figure made her look absolutely stunning.I saw Nick's shoulders were tensed a bit . He slowly turned to face the woman but his face didn't have any greeting or acknowledging smile." Clara." , It seemed like her name tasted bitter on his tongue.
