TW; ntioning of ED.
Sofia cleared her throat and her big brown eyes swiveled to redith and she blinked before a blush crept over her cheeks.
"I-I What was what?" She questioned avoiding redith's gaze.
"You and Ace, what is going on?" redith asked, her tone curious.
"And what makes you think there is sothing going on between
and that infuriating man?" Sofia asked as she chewed her lips, a habit she does when she was nervous.
"For starters you are blushingI have never seen you blush ever.secondly you're chewing your lips a habit you do when you're nervous. Thirdly you looked like you have seen a ghost when you saw Ace so what is going on?"
"Nothing."
redith cocked her right brow. "Oh of course, there is nothing." She said sarcastically as she walked away leaving Sofia in the living room.
Sofia grunted and followed redith to the kitchen. She took an apple from the fruit basket and sat on a bar stool as redith prepare oat al.
"So how are things with Atlas?" Sofia asked bitting into the apple.
"Hmm good." redith responded.
"So you two are now dating?"
redith blushed and nodded, "Yes, I asked him to be my boyfriend."
"Huh?" For a while, Sofia just gaped at her, shocked at her words. But seconds later she recovered and broke into a wide grin.
"Hohoho! You're finally growing. Gosh I'm so proud of you! And he agreed?"
redith shrugged, "Yes. I wanted him to be my boyfriend so I asked him out. I wasn't going to sit around for him to battle with himself forever when he clearly wants ."
Sofia mouth opened,it was like she was seeing redith for the first ti.
"Who are you and what have you done to my innocent rri?!" Sofia yelled and redith chuckled at her friend's overdramatic voice.
"Love makes you bold." redith said and winked at he friend.
Sofia blinked and chuckled, "huhu you have fallen for your boss. rri you look smitten!"
Sofia chirped gleefully. She felt like a proud mom. She might not like Atlas but as long as her best friend was happy then she didn't mind.
"I might not like Atlas but the dude is really good. He only takes one partner at a ti and he really knows how to treat won well according to the rumours so I'm sure he wouldn't hurt you. If only his brother was like that! That scum bag!"
Sofia cursed her voice laced with venom.
redith raised her brows at her, "Nothing between you too huh?"
Sofia sighed, "Well we had sothing, but it was a long ti ago and I have move on." Sofia said as if to convince herself.
"Well if you have clearly move on, you wouldn't blush at his na and stutter when talking to him. Where is the overconfident superstar, Sofia?"
redith teased her friend and Sofia rolled her eyes.
"Well anyone will behave like that when they et their ex who took their virginity and dumped them the sa night."
redith stiffened and turned to look at Sofia.
"What?"
Sofia nodded, "Yeah..." She scratched an invisible itch on her nose, avoiding redith's gaze.
redith was shocked. She thought maybe Sofia had a crush on Ace because honestly it was hard not to. He was a beautiful creature and it was perfectly normal to crush on him but this past between them was cruel.
Sofia closed her eyes and let her head hang down, and then she started talking, with her head still hanging down not even looking at redith.
"I t Ace when I was eighteen. He was the most handso man I have ever seen in my life and I wanted him. Ever since I was a kid, whatever I wanted I got it. So I thought I could have him too. I chased him for a whole year before he finally gave in and accepted to be my boyfriend."
redith swallowed and walked towards Sofia. She reached out to put a hand on her shoulder to show her she was listening to her and then Sofia continued.
"Everyone told
he was only with
because I was a parasite who wouldn't leave him alone but I didn't care. He was mine and that was the most important thing."
Sofia took a deep breath and then she looked up, her eyes t redith's own and she was crying. A tear fell down her gorgeous cheek.
"On my nineteen birthday I gave him my virginity. I was so happy because he was my first love and I heard sex bonded people so I thought he was now in love with
but"
Sofia's voice broke. Poor sweet Sofia. redith wished she could take the pain away. She crouched down and pulled Sofia into a hug. She didn't know the full story but Sofia was crushed by it.
"He didn't. After we finished, he didn't cuddle
no..he looked at
with such disgust that keeps haunting every night. He said now that he has given
what I wanted, he hopes I will leave him alone and stop pestering him like a parasite because he would never fall in love with a spoiled unattractive girl like . That night was supposed to the happiest night of my life but it was the saddest.
He left and I never saw him again. Until last year when I t him at a caf walking with a pregnant woman. She was his fiance who was carrying his child. He had move on while I suffer every night.
I worked to change for him. To be more attractive and mature. I went to gym, developed an ED and started building a social dia platform so that he would always see
on the internet but he never cared. He was happy with another woman how ironic.
n aren't shit."
Sofia chuckled and wiped her tears.
redith tensed, ED. No wonder Sofia barely ate. Ace had broken her, made her insecure so she was afraid of getting fat and being unattractive. That's why she was always conscious of how she looked.
"I'm done crying over Ace. Now I'm attractive, confident and n dance according to my tune. I'm not that unattractive spoil brat who shalessly chased a guy for a year."
"Sofia."
redith called her softly.
Sofia took a deep breath and shook her head. She wiped her tears and smiled
"No more tears. Let's talk about sothing else!"
redith forced out a smile and nodded, "Alright."
