From the moment the birthday party started, Greg's eyes were at the entrance. It was his birthday, yet he couldn't focus on the event. He had told Pete to inform Sophie about the party, everything Sophie told Pete that day, he heard everything.Greg knew the right thing to do was to personally invite her, but he couldn't bring himself to do that.Part of him still had hope Sophie would show up just like the way she did during his mom's birthday. His parents, Nana and Victoria were all present, they'd asked him about his wife, he lied to them she was busy with school and couldn't come.Rose has been by his side since the event started, Greg could hear side talks from his guests about them probably getting engaged today. He ignored it as his mind was somewhere else.The dinner was gradually coming to an end, yet there was no sign of Sophie. It was at that moment he realized Sophie really meant what she said. That realization made him angry, the thought that Sophie never rated him.It

The following morning, Greg woke up early. He felt Sophie's weight on him, she was now wrapped in his embrace with her head on his chest.Greg smiled at this sight and gave her a peck on her forehead.He had work to do but he didn't want to miss this moment. He went back to sleep.A call entered and woke both Sophie and Greg up. Greg reached out for his phone and picked the call after checking the caller ID" What is it?" He said coldly" Where are you? We've been looking for you since yesterday" Pete said on the other end." I'm at Bellaris country with my wife" Greg said with all seriousnessSophie was already awake when he said that, she immediately sat up on the bed. " Why are you here?" She asked touching her forehead" Let's talk later," Greg said to Pete and hung up the call." Are you okay?" Greg asked concerned" What are you doing here! How did I get here!" Sophie shoutedShe checked herself and realized she was wearing Greg's shirt" What happened? Did you take advantage o

I stood there speechless. I looked at both of them and ran out of words. I felt my chest tightened, the more I looked at them, the more pain I felt.Coming all the way from Bellaris to see this? Greg looked at me for a few minutes and walked past me. Few minutes later, Rose came out of the kitchen, she held two cups and made her way towards the sitting. Immediately she saw me, she was startled." When did you get here? Why are you here?" She asked surprised at my presenceI didn't reply and walked to the sitting room to where Greg was seated, he was busy with his laptop." I want us to talk" I said to himHe didn't reply and continued with what he was doing on his system.This time, Rose was now seated beside him. She gave him a cup of tea and they both continued talking about business." Are you ready? We're going to start the meeting Soon" Greg told Rose who nodded to his question.WowI'm not leaving here without talking to him.I sat down on the cushion beside Greg. Greg was now

" No thanks" I simply replied" Why? It's just to eat something nice after all the stress we've been through these past few days" he said smiling" Or should I call the rest to Join us? It seems you don't want to eat with me alone" Elliot said looking at me" It's not that Okay, let's eat dinner together then" I agreedWe both went to a small Restaurant outside the school. It was a popular place amongst students. Elliot ordered for both of us at my request.After we were done eating, we talked for a while and left.He tried to pay for my taxi back to the hostel but I declined. I got home a few minutes later. " Did you go somewhere after your exam?" Diana asked immediately I entered our room." Oh sorry I didn't call to inform you, Elliot and I went out for dinner after the exam" I replied" Hmm.. so, you went out on a date with him?" She asked " You heard me clearly Diana, it was not a date. Going out to eat with a coursemate isn't a date" I replied" But…. He's handsome and……"I
