20. You're Jealous.
Sophia's POV
Nick parked the Porsche in front of a very posh restaurant. I guessed that he would set up our date at such an extravagant restaurant . I tried dressing up accordingly, in order to not look out of place.
Coming out of the car , he came to my side and opened the door for me. I took his hand and walked out. He placed a hand on the small of my back which caused me to shiver a bit but I didn't pull away . I felt safe being close to him . The familiar cologne filled my nostrils.
On entering the restaurant , the manager hurried to us . By the look on his face , he was tense.
He greeted and led us to a table that was beautifully decorated with flowers and scented candles.
Nick pulled out a chair for me and settled down opposite me. A waitress arrived to take our order.
Yeah , a typical one ! Extremely short skirt and her top giving away too much view of her cleavage.
She stood in front of Nick , p

Sophia's POVBright sun rays falling on my face caused me to wake up. While I tried to stretch my body , I felt a heavy arm on my waist, Nick. 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 ." I smiled and turned my head to look at the clock. It was already 8 and my eyes widened." Nick, we are going to be late . Get up ! " He still did

Sophia's POV"-and she was wasted ." Tyler said, describing Skyler's first drinking experience."Oh , I can go for hours without getting wasted." Jenny proudly said at which Max slapped the back of her head playfully. I loved spending time with these four people. They don't treat me like I'm their boss's wife unlike the others who unnecessarily sweet talk to me. They treat me like friends and that's what I wanted. We pull each other's legs , make fun of each other."Even though I don't have a high alcohol tolerance . My first time wasn't-'' I was cut off when my phone started ringing. I mouthed them a sorry before picking up the call."Hello.""Am I speaking to Mrs. Carter ?" A female voice asked. Mrs. Carter? Still seems a little weird."Yes , who's this ?""I am Sarah Adley ,the Principal of Ethan's school. I had tried reaching Mr. Carter but failed. I would request any one of you to come to the school now.
The Arranged Bride 23. 'Close' Friend?
Sophia's POVIn the past few weeks , Nick and my relationship has been on a steady track. I am not nervous anymore to sleep with Nick in the same room.Everything has been pretty on track. 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. Me and Nick have kissed a lot of times but have never gone beyond that. Maybe we need a bit more time and he has never made me uncomfortable with his advances. In simple words , everything is perfect right now but that scares me sometimes. I hope everything stays this way.I was sitting in front of the television, watching a random romcom when I heard the doorbell ring. After a minute , Caleb came in."Hey Soph !" He sat down beside me and put a h
The Arranged Bride 24. So Whipped!
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. The urge to not trust any woman had overpowered me and I behaved so pathetically towards her.These days, being so close to her, has definitely affected me. I like sleeping in the same bed and cuddling with her and waking up together. I miss her when I am at work. I try not to work till late night just to have a family dinner. Sometimes I think that what I feel for her is more than mere liking but I am scared to feel anything deeper .Taking a f
The Arranged Bride 25. There's More.
Sophia's POVI was talking to Char when I heard a loud voice." Nick , is that you?" I turned to look at the owner of the voice. There stood a red haired woman in a black plunging neckline dress. 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. But the ignorant woman walked up to him and straight away hugged him . I looked at Caleb to see him extremely bothered . Last time I saw this expression was when Christina was at home but this time it looked more serious. I hope this isn't something like that."Who is she ?" Char asked, looking curious."I don't know. Never heard of her." I replied, keeping my eyes on them."Of course you don't. Must be another fling of that jerk-face." Char venom

Nick's POVAs I kept playing with Sophia's hair , she slept peacefully with her lips parted. I had shared my story with Sophia yesterday and honestly I had felt better after talking to her. I want to trust her , I want to be with her and maybe someday fall in love with her. I don't know if I am going to be left with a broken heart once again but still I want to take this risk.I was so focused on my thoughts that I didn't realise when she woke up. I looked into her grey eyes which were staring back. Her beautiful grey eyes were the first thing that I had noticed when I saw er in the office for the first time and they have never failed to captivate me. A soft smile was playing on her face which automatically had my lips curved up in a smile."Good morning." She said, stretching her hands and yawning."Good morning ." I smiled ."Nick , I was thinking of going to the park today with Ethan. " Sophia excitedly said."No

Without looking anywhere I ran to Ethan." Ethan !" I sat down beside him and took his head on my lap . Blood was trickling down his head. Never had I imagined of seeing such a sight." Ethan, Baby get up please . Look at me , Ethan ?" I was desperately pleading while tears were freely rolling down my cheeks." Leo, get him inside the car, fast." He took up Ethan and once I settled in, he put Ethan on my lap and started driving." Everything will be okay , you will be okay." I was assuring myself more than anyone. The ten minutes drive seemed to be the longest of my life.........I was sitting outside the emergency unit while Leo stood opposite to me.
