Sophie’s pov
There’s cheering around, but my eyes can’t move away from Aiden to see those who were cheering.
I knew that it was the people in the store who saw and heard everything. I didn’t need to know more.
He smiles brightly in relief and slips the ring on my trembling fingers. His fingers were warm, and
gentle.
“The color matches your eyes,” He whispered and looked up at me with a grin.
I nod agreeing with him even though I didn’t even hear a word he just said. My mind was a bit too hazy
with what just happened. I could not focus a hundred percent yet.
He comes closer, his bigger body almost pressing against mine. My heart is beating in my chest when
one of his arms slip around my waist and hold me firmly.
He leans down and kissed my cheek and whispered. “Nice acting.”
His words had cold water splashing across my body, freezing me and pushing reality in my face.
Acting.
We were just acting.
Stupid Sophie. Of course the two of you were acting.
He didn’t mean a single word that came out of his mouth.
“We need to show them that you’re extremely happy. We both are.” He whispered, kissing my cheeks
again. His lips on my skin burned through me and heated my veins.
I ignored the feeling, setting cold ice in my heart instead. “How are we supposed to do that?” I
whispered, my heart aching knowing those beautiful words he said had no true meaning behind them.
What a waste of beautiful words.
“Easy,” He murmurs, his head coming forward.
His hand at the back of my head, his fingers tangled in my hair, his head leaning down, my eyes on his
lips, and then a gasp….
Our lips mold, perfectly even though we both were imperfect.
He moved them against mine softly, tenderly as one would do to his lover. Someone he loves.
My foolish heart flutters in my chest again like a bird flapping its wings.
He moans, drawing me closer to him. The way he gripped the back of my head and the way his lips
sucked my lower lip in his mouth, Aiden definitely had forgotten where we were until I pulled away.
We were in a store with many eyes on us, we didn’t need to kiss like we were about to fuck in front of
everyone.
Aiden pecks my lips and brushes some of my hair behind my ear. His actions were playing with my
heart but I was allowing him to.
Great he saw me looking at myself like a weirdo.
Looking away from the rearview mirror, I decided to scoot a little further to the door and fetch my
buzzing phone. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
My brows furrowed when I noticed that it was Mila’s picture
on the screen.
Why was she calling me now? Did something happen?
I quickly slide my thumb over the answer button and brought the phone to my ear.
“Hey-
I didn’t even get a good greeting in before she cuts in like a whip.
“Sophie fucking Bell!” She growled sounding angry as hell.
Oh crap. What did I do?
“Yeah?” I winced. Did I leave the bathroom pipe open?
What’s going on?
“Why in the fucking ass am I hearing that you’re engaged to fucking Aiden Xavier through some dumb
popular online celebrity gossip site?!” She barked and I can hear Ria’s mother in the background
asking her to get off the phone and get back to work.
I cringe. So many fucks in one sentence. Oh she’s pissed alright.
“Mila,” I whispered hoping to calm her down.
“Don’t Mila me! How can you not tell your best friend about this before the whole entire world knew?”
She snapped.
I pinched my eyes closed for a few seconds. “Mila there are things I cannot explain to you over the
phone. I know you’re angry and want an explanation but right now I can’t give that to you,” I opened my
eyes and breathed out.
“I’ll explain everything when we’re home. I promise that I’ll clear everything up.” I whispered looking
over at Aiden who I felt his eyes on me the entire time I was on the phone.
His phone was still buzzing but he had yet to pick it up.
“Fine. But you have to tell me everything. Every single thing you hear me!?”
I nod even though she could not exactly see me. “Yes. I promise.” I mumbled, tearing my eyes away
from Aiden’s.
We said our goodbyes and I end the call. Looking over at Aiden with furrowed brows I opened my
mouth to speak.
“Why aren’t you picking up the calls?” I asked in puzzlement.
“Because I know who’s calling and I am not ready to speak with him.” He admitted tightly, his jaw
clenching.
“Sergio?” I asked, already having an inkling it was him.
Aiden’s stiff nod and grunt answered me without him having to say words.
“What if it’s important Aiden?” I asked, gnawing on my lips.
Aiden sighed heavily and answered the phone. “What?” He
sneered coldly and then stiffened.
“They’re quicker than I gave them credit for.” He gritted, his hands fisting on his lap.
My brows knot. Whatever Sergio said to Aiden managed to upset him so this definitely was not good.
Suddenly my phone blares, startling me. I looked at the calle I.d and my heart pummels to the pit of my
stomach.
Why was Ashton’s daycare calling me at this time?
I answered it quickly, nerves bubbling in my stomach when I brought it to my ear.
“Hello?”
“Miss. Bell, it’s about your son, he’s-”
