(Sophie)
The night had been going wonderfully. Nick and I were sitting in the restaurant talking about our day when suddenly his phone went off with one look his smile went away
"Um.....Who is it?" I asked
"No one," he said, hanging up
"Okay," I said before the ringtone went off again
"No one is really insistent," I said passive-aggressively
"It's fine, it's probably something trivial," he said
"Doesn't seem like something trivial. Who is it? " I said
"Yeah, it's just a friend," he said, hanging up again then the person called again
"Come on, take a damn hint" he cursed
"Nick, it's okay, you can answer the phone"
"You sure?" he asked
"Yes, the person won't stop calling so it must be something important so you can go talk to them," I said
"I'll make it quick I promise," he said as he got up and answered the phone before walking out.
So there I was, stuck in the restaurant fiddling my thumbs for five minutes when suddenly I got a message. Taking up my phone I clicked on the Instagram message and the first thing I saw on Turner's page was Taylor and Turner taking a selfie on the beach on her story. My blood was boiling, but I didn't know why. You know what I did and it wasn't jealousy. Why would I be jealous of Taylor? I didn't care that he got himself a girlfriend, but did it seriously have to be her? There's so many better girls in the town and he chose Betty-Ann Turner. It really pisses me off, before we were dating he was practically a dog drooling over a bone every time he saw her and some part of me knew he had feelings for her even when we were dating. Now he's dating her so that just proves it
"Sophie. Sophie" Nick's voice said, knocking me out of my daze
"Huh? Sorry, I spaced out" I said
"You've been doing that a lot lately. Is something up? " he asked
"No, I'm fine, I guess classes have made me a little stress," I said
"Okay, then maybe you should take more breaks. Let the genius handle the projects. All work and no play makes Sophia a dull girl" he joked
"Coming from the guy that refuses to go to school," I said
"It was just one day, Soph," he sighed
"Yeah, it was just one day the last time. But then that turned into one week, then one month and before long it was the whole semester. After that you stopped coming to school all together. You know, just because your parents have money doesn't mean you can slack off your whole life Nick"
"Do not talk about my family!" he said
"Nick," I frowned
"Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause a scene again. Can we just stop talking about this? I promise I'll be at school tomorrow, bright and early"
"Whatever, how was your call?" I asked
"It's okay, it wasn't anything important," he said with a smile
"So who was it?" I asked
"One of my friends," he said
"Oh, a friend. Would this friend happen to be a girl? " I asked
"Yeah," he said eating a piece of steak
"Is she good-looking?" I asked, cutting a piece
"I guess why?" He asked nonchalantly cutting another piece of his steak
"Oh, no reason," I said eating the piece I had cut
"Wait. Sophia Vanderbilt, are you jealous? " He asked a smug smile
"Hmph as if," I said, taking another bite from the steak
"I mean I understand why you would be. She is insanely hot," He said
"Hot, huh?" I said
"Yeah, she gets mistaken for a model all the time," he said
"A model huh," I said
"She has such a great figure. Big breast, slim waist, and a phat ass-" he said before realizing he was doing too much
"Why did you stop? Please carry on," I said in a threatening tone
"You know now that I think about it. She isn't all that beautiful. Especially when I compare her to you," he said
"Mm-hmm, nice save lover boy," I said before a waiter came up to us
"Is it time for dessert already?" Nick asked
"Um, yes, but there's someone here to see you," he said, before Nick looked behind me then growled angrily
"Damn it," he said under his breath
"Just give me a minute, please," he said before he got up and walked out of the restaurant once again
"Um Madam," he said
"Not married," I said
"Uh?" he said
"You say Madam when the person is married otherwise it's mademoiselle," I explained
"I'm sorry, I didn't do well in French class at all. I'm actually just filling in for a guy," he explained
"Oh, it's okay, I was just pointing something out," I said
"Thanks a lot so would you like to eat your dessert here or to go?" The waiter asked
"Here please," I said before he left
I turned around and saw Nick arguing with a blonde girl.
She looked a little older than us I'd say about a year or two. She looked to be a size 2 so needless to say she had a slim waist but surprisingly enough, she had big assets in front and behind. She was exactly as Nick described. The perfect example of an hourglass figure and her beautiful face made her even more attractive. About a few minutes later he gave her money, then a kiss on the cheek. I sighed as I called the waiter over
"Sorry about this, but could I change that to go pleased," I said before calling an Uber
"Sure," he said as he went back to the chef.
About a minute later Nick came back
"Sorry about that? She just wanted to borrow some money," He said taking his seat
"No, it's okay," I said, getting up and taking up my purse
"Where are you going?" I asked
"I'm getting a little tired. I should be heading home. I have school tomorrow" I listed off excuses as the waiter came back and gave me the dessert
"Thanks a lot," I said
"Okay, at least let me drive you home," he said
"No, I'm fine, I already called an Uber," I said as I started heading for the door.
Nick chased after me randomly throwing money down in the table nonchalantly and unknowingly leaving a rather sizable tip
"Come on, Sophie, let me drive you home," he said
"I'm okay," I said
"Is it about Vanessa? Listen, she's just a friend," he said
"It's not about her. I just have school early tomorrow," he said
"Then let me drive you home," he said
"Nick, I'm fine," I said
"You'll reach home faster," he said before a car pulled up beside me
"Are you Sophie Vanderbilt?" He asked
"Yeah, that's me," I said as I opened the door
"Fine," Nick said before he walked to the driver's seat window and gave him a hundred dollar bill
"Make sure she gets home okay and you can give the change to her," he said before leaning up allowing the driver to drive away
He drove me back to my house
"Thanks for the ride," I said, opening the door
"Wait, Miss, your change," he tried to give me the cash
"You can keep it," I said as I got out and he drove away, then I looked across the street and saw Taylor parking the old car on his lawn with a goofy smile on his face.
"Hey Taylor," I said making my way over to him
"Sophie? What are you still doing up? " He asked
"I just got back from a date," I said
"Really. Did Nick get a new car again? " He asked
"No, I took an Uber," I said
"Yikes, guessing the date didn't go so well," he said
"It was fine until he kissed a girl in front of me," I said
"Did he really do that?" He asked
"Well, technically, it was behind my back and it was just a little peck on the cheek," I admitted
"Sophie, that's nothing to be mad about," he laughed
"You think I'm overreacting?" I asked
"Yeah," he nodded
"Whatever so how was your... date," I said, chucking out the last word
"It was okay, I guess," he said with a perverse grin making me glare at him
"Okay, huh?" I said
"Yeah, I mean we went on a picnic," he said
"That's all?" I asked
"Um, we kissed I guess," he said
"Like a little peck?" I asked
"Um, do you remember how we kissed last month?" He asked. I tensed up a bit at that time
"Sophie, you okay?" He asked
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just surprised. You guys must be pretty serious huh? I asked
"I don't know. I think we can get there. I hadn't felt this way since... you know. I feel like with Betty-Ann I can finally start a relationship. You understand what I mean? " he said
"Yeah, yeah, totally, I felt the same way when I started seeing Nick"
"Are you really okay Soph? You're shaking" he said
"I'm probably just cold. I think I'm coming down with something; I just need to get home okay. School tomorrow and everything you know how Mrs. Jones gets" I said
"Actually, there's no class tomorrow Mrs. Jones will be out," he said
"Oh, I still need to finish up my other homework" I said rushing across the street
"Bye," he called out, but I didn't respond I just entered my house, slamming the door behind me for sliding down in putting my face in my lap as tears ran down my eyes
'Why am I crying?"
