Things weren't going so well with his business and then I noticed that he changed a bit, he wasn't so friendly and nice again he got angry each time I tried to know what was wrong he said I was been noisy.
Later I got to find out about his failing business. I just tried to help thinking he'd appreciate what I was doing but I turned out he didn't appreciate it at all instead he saw it as an abomination, as a threat. .....
He was so upset that a woman tried to help him, he had a big ego that couldn't be helped. And then he became violent... She was silent for a while before she then continued.
Well I thought it was fine, It was probably my fault, that's what I kept telling myself, until I almost lost my life. She chuckled.
My parents told me initially but I didn't believe until it was almost late. well I later ran to them for help, they took care of me till I recovered and then they sent me to country k, to start a new life.
You have absolutely no idea how I felt at that time, the hatred, anger, bitterness was so much. I vowed to never love anyone again.
When I arrived at country k I found a church in a local area, I just decided to attend and well I continued and soon I started to become free, it took my a while to completely heal. and then.....
Sophia didn't even know how to react, she just smiled stiffly.
I met someone, her eyes twinkled as she spoke. I disliked him from the first day we met in church, he was loud, carefree and a talkative.
Well it was quite obvious that he fell for me, she pushed her hair backwards, exuding charm. Sophia giggled this was the first time she saw Mrs alexandria act so...cute.
Well I poured all my anxiety and fear on him, I refused him so many years because I thought he was probably worse than the first guy, I thought all men were the same. So I hated him for no reason.
It took a lot of persistence from him. Gosh! I said terrible things to him, ignored but he just kept coming back. Soon my heart began to sway, and I lowered my guard against him. then I got to know that he was a scientist. She looked into Sophia's eyes, He was a psychologist that brought a revolutionary idea that would change the world.
Well his idea was awesome and beneficial to mankind. He proposed a way to control the neurons which in turn would control the body. Well how do I explain this.... He found a way to control the brain which will then affect the body.
For people who were in a vegetative state and crippled, it was a major breakthrough because their brain would receive a signal which In turn would affect their body resulting in movement. Sorry I'm not really a science nerd so I can't explain it like he did.
Ha! It's okay madam I totally get it, and it's totally awesome. So what happened next?
Well soon the word spread and people harbored interest, especially the bad ones. Well at that time he wasn't aware so he continued and was making significant progress. But soon he found out their intentions were totally different from what he had In mind. He wanted to help people but they wanted to control people. Their impulse, making them do things against their will.
Well although the facts and data were available they were still unsuccessfully, they tried and tried yet they couldn't bring it to reality. because he refused to continue with the research. After much experiment and failure. They discovered that babies were the best test subjects. sophia shrieked.
Soon he was kidnapped and forced to act against his will. They carried out experiments with children who were just born, a lot of them didn't make it, some did but we're not perfect. There was only one gave them what they wanted. She was perfect, her body perfectly synchronized with the system. She looked at sophia knowingly, but quickly looked away, sophia was immersed in the story so she didn't notice anything amiss, alexandria sighed! ...jason will tell her...
Well he later informed me, when things got out of hand, he took the child and manage to return her to her parents. Well..... I never got to see him again.... Sophia could see tears form In her eyes. She had to put away all the questions going through her head. I'm sorry about that madam.
It's okay she sniffed..
Well I'll come back later.... She walked out giving her space.
..........
Time quickly went by, soon it was the end of the year. 6:00am sophia got up as usual, after taking her bath she was about to put on her clothes when jason called.
Good morning sir!
Morning sophia, don't head to the office I sent the driver to pick you up. You'll be coming to my house instead.
And why is that sir?
Don't worry it, it's a surprise just come over first, I'm about leaving the office, we'll meet at home.
Eh....okay.
When the call ended she just stood still pondering on what he was up to. Oh well! At least I don't have to wear these suit today, she danced for joy as she picked up a pair of jean, a black bunny top and a pair of sandals. Looking around she saw the cute hair pin Mrs alexandria bought for her, it had cute rabbit ears so she decided to add it to her outfit. She picked her bag and skipped to the door.
....
Once they arrived at jason's house, sophia didn't come out immediately she quickly surveyed the area, incase there was a big fluffy beast around. Once she confirmed that he wasn't close by, she bolted to the door.
It wasn't locked so she pulled the handle and walked in. She was greeted with a cool breeze which came from the ac.
Woah! That's more like it, she smiled. Soon she heard hurried footsteps, a little handsome boy ran towards her, she bent down and stretched her hands wide open.
Little tim couldn't stay put since his big day was approaching, jason wanted to tell sophia but he refused cause he wanted to tell her himself. He had to wait for school activities to end before he'll start making his plans.
He told his uncle to invite her over today, he was so happy when he saw her.
He quickly pounced on her. She wasn't expecting that, so she fell to the ground. They both giggled and hugged each other.
Oh my! I've missed you so much baby, you're growing up too fast and you've gained more weight, but the most important thing is that you're still handsome.
Little Tim's face was as red as a tomato. Thanks aunty sophia, I missed you too. He got up and moved a bit so she can get up. Sophia got up with a smile plastered on her face.
Little tim stretched his hand indicating to be picked up, and sophia happily obliged. This was the scene jason captured once he got in. He was putting on his suit as usual, he tidy hair was a bit messy, he looked exhausted.
They both turned to look at him the same time. Little tim shifted his gaze back to sophia immediately. He touched the cute band on her head. You look pretty aunty sophia, you're getting prettier every time I see you.
Aww.... Thanks baby, sophia hugged him tight. Jason just rolled his eyes, your pick up lines are excellent, the way things are going you'll break a lot of hearts when you grow.
Little tim scoffed, I'll be glad to teach you some uncle, cause you're gonna need it.
What! Jason was speechless. Sophia laughed gosh I never knew you guys have an awesome relationship.
Put him down he's not a kid anymore.
Uncle jason I'm just 5, I'm obviously a kid.
Technically only your body is 5, your brain is as that of a 56 yr old man.
to avoid problems, she decided to change the topic. Boss why did you ask me to come here?
Ask him! He walked in and sat down massaging his temples. Aunty sophia my birthday is coming this weekend, I decided to give you a personal invitation that's why I asked uncle to ask you to come.
Wow! Happy birthday in advance baby, that's awesome so what are your plans?
The party will be outside in the garden, I've already formed the guest list, I just hope charles doesn't come up with something mischievous he frowned.
Oh! What about the cake, snacks, food and drinks?
Uncle and nanny zo will take care of that. We don't really like strangers coming in here so, we'll do everything ourselves. So pls can you help me out aunty sophia.
Sure thing dear, I'm dressed for the occasion. They discussed completely forgetting that someone else was present.
C'mon aunty sophie I'll take you to the spot. Oh! And don't worry June isn't going to be around till we are done.
Aww..... You're the best tim. Holding hands they left the house. Jason just sat there looking at their backs he just didn't know how to react. I'm i invincible? He wondered.
****
Saturday morning, sophia came early to help and finalize the preparations, she wore casual clothes which she'd change later when she was done. Looking at the settings she wondered if she was the child. Timothy was certainly different from other 6yr old children, he didn't want balloons and stuffed animals. According to him, it was too childish. "..."
Thankfully he liked anime so she decorated the place with different anime characters and themes.
Walking into the house jason called her to the kitchen. When she walked in she saw him steadily preparing the cake with an apron wrapped around him.
Come over, pls help me wrap these napkins into star shapes.
Oh that looks easy, she folded her sleeves as she walked over.
Five minutes later.....
Sophia was a mess, she couldn't get one to be perfect, not even one. Jason looked at her then the napkins... Pfft.....
I thought you said it was easy, how is it that you can't even get one done?
It's too complicated she said with a frown on her face I don't think anyone can do it.
He sighed, I'll show you how, he held her hands. Turn it from here and then fold it here. Press it here and here, that's how you do it.
Must it be like this? It's just a napkin no need to go through all this, just for napkins.
He shrugged, I like it that way, timothy likes it like that also.
Ding! The timer went off. Oh! My cookies are ready, jason quickly put his mittens on to bring the cookies out of the oven.
Sophia just stood still watching his every action. If other people see you like this. They'd be marveled.
Why? He raised his brows.
You're rich, smart, handsome, a good cook you're what we call "husband material"
Hahaha... Sophia you say the weirdest things.
But I'm serious, a lot of people dream about having people like you.
Oh! Really he smirked what about you then?
Cough! She almost choked on her saliva. What kind of question is that. She frowned.
Be right back! He quickly rushed out of the kitchen.
Sophia just stood there, suddenly her eyes wondered to the sweets kept by the side. The aroma was intoxicating, I can't believe jason made this too.
Taste me! Taste me! The sweets cried out in Sophia's mind. Omg I'm imagining crazy things now.
She took one, I'll just taste you, it's not like you're as good as you look. Rainbows! Oh my this is better than it looks, she picked another one and another one. Suddenly she heard footsteps, she turned feeling guilty because the sweets were almost gone.
Jason came in and noticed that was a bit stiff. He slowly walked towards her, she quickly averted her eyes from his. You have something here, he rubbed the side of her mouth.
She finally looked up, her pretty blue eyes sparkled as light fell on it. Well I'm sorry about that I just wanted to just taste it a little, when I did, it was too good so I tried another and now it's almost gone. She put on a sad puppy face.
He chuckled.... You're so predictable sophia. Anyway I made it for you, I know you have crazing for sweet things so I made it just for you.
Really she smiled, thank you! It's good like really good. I've tasted a lot of snacks but this particular one is amazing. Bravo.
Pfft.... They laughed together.
Matilda and Zack came to help also, Zack was there to inspect the guest list and make sure that only those invited would enter.
Matilda was helping to arrange things outside she then came in to talk to jason. She halted by the door when she saw the happy scene before her she was stunned. They were so close to each other smiling not minding whether others were around. She squeezed her hand tightly for a while before smiling and then walking in.
Here you are jason, I've been looking for you. She moved closer to him.
Good morning miss matilda! Sophia greeted
Morning sophia! She spoke with gritted teeth.
So is there anything I can help you with jason.
Not really he looked around trying to see if there's anything she could help with.
Oh I can fold the napkins, it just reminds me of how we did this a lot as kids. In few minutes she had folded more than five napkins.
Yeah but that's for sop.....
Don't worry she quickly cut him off, I'm not good at it anyway. I'll just go and see the birthday boy.
Oh! He replied with a low voice.
Sophia turned and walked out of the kitchen before she left she turned and looked at them, matilda was very pretty, standing together they looked like they were made for each other.
Oh my! Don't tell me they're a couple, which explains why matilda always looks at me weirdly. Wow I made a big discovery today. I need to maintain some distance from him so they won't have any misunderstanding because of me.
Poor jason didn't know that he being totally misunderstood.
******
Sophia later changed into a short open back black lace gown which complimented her fair skin. It had no extravagant design, it was just simple but yet elegant..
What else do I do? She stood before a gigantic mirror. Oh my hair! What to do, what to do? Suddenly an idea popped into her head.
She quickly pulled out a chair, opened her bag after searching for a while, she found it. Thankfully I brought it. she pulled some hair extensions from her bag. Parting her hair into smaller parts, After watching countless youtube videos and tutorials she got the hang of it. And in less than an hour, she was done.
Perfecto! She smiled at the result in the mirror.
She giggled when she saw a lot of makeup kits around. He's such a sweetheart. Little tim told her he had prepared everything she'd need. But at the same time she felt helpless not knowing what to do with all the products before her.
Then she remembered kylie. Oh gosh! I can't believe I haven't contacted her in a while, she remembered her when she saw the mascara and eyeliner kylie was the first person to apply makeup on her face.
She tried using the mascara, then the eyeliner after the toll and tears that came out she managed to make it look okay. Oh my God! She almost fell when she looked at her reflection. Is this me? She looked like a dark queen, completely different from the cute and calm sophia.
Can eyeliner and mascara make you look so...enchanting. she swirled around for a while with a smile on her face.
Aunty sophia pls help me out! Timothy yelled from his room. Sophia stopped admiring herself, she just look one last look at herself before going to timothy's room. Once she got to the door she knocked.
Oh c'mon aunty sophia, come in! Why are you knocking?
She opened the door and a handsome little face surfaced.
