"Sophie... If you don't want it... tell me while I can still stop myself" Looking into her glazed eyes, he noticed how sad they were.
"What is it about? Something's wrong?" He looked at her tenderly, hoping that she would answer.
"I don't know where I stand... Who am I to you... In such a short time I feel like I've known you for a long time and I want to be with you. I've said before that I don't want to get into another relationship, but it's different with you. You're making me confused..." She tried to explain her feelings when he lifted her chin to look into his eyes.
"Be my woman. I want no one and nothing more than to be with you, to touch you, to fall asleep by your side" He surprised her with his confession. "You are my haven, my peace. One touch of yours can make all my anger and frustration melt away. Over the past few weeks, you have only confirmed this for me. You're the only one for me" He purred sexily, picking her up and taking her onto his lap. His hand gently ran along her spine as she sat snuggled into his neck.
"I would like to..." She began quietly.
"Hmmm? What would you like?"
"I wanted my first time to be special... with the person I love" She dared to say out loud. Darell inhaled sharply when he heard her confession.
"Of course it's your first time..." He said more to himself than to her.
"Don't worry, I will make your first time an unforgettable experience for you, but only when you are really ready for it" He kissed her on the neck and hugged her to him. There is no power on earth that could take her from him now.
"We have to get to work" She snuggled into him, not wanting to go anywhere. A cheeky smile appeared on his face. He picked up the surprised Sophie in his arms and carried her to the bathroom. He sat her down on the cabinet, slowly examining her body with his eyes.
"Maybe we can jump in the shower together, hmm?" He began to slowly unbutton her shirt, getting excited again.
"Come on. No more jokes" She laughed, grabbing his hands. Let me get ready so I can make you something for breakfast" Sophie jumped down from the cabinet and, holding her hand on his chest, pushed him playfully out of the bathroom.
She quickly changed her clothes and did her hair. When she left, she blew a kiss to Darell waiting outside and went to the kitchen to prepare something quickly.
"Are you going to tempt me like that now?" He snorted dissatisfiedly as he entered the bathroom. He didn't notice Sophie's smile and how happy she was at those words.
"Tempt, hmmm? This could be interesting."
While eating breakfast, she was humming a happy song to herself, being in a good mood. While eating breakfast, her cheek no longer hurt so much. She tried to hide the scratch from the others, but the swelling was still visible. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to say that she was allergic to something.
"Diana was supposed to come to work on monday but if you need her..."
"Don't worry. I'll make it through the day," She assured him, knowing how his sister would react to her slap. Knowing what happened earlier, she probably wouldn't have been fooled. Maybe after tomorrow, the cheek will go back to normal.
After eating breakfast, they entered the elevator and went to Darell's office, where Noah was already waiting for them. They went inside together and handed over all the documents to their boss, reporting once again what had happened while he was away.
Afterwards, Sophie was released to her office without incident. Darell needed to find out from Noah what had happened. After reporting on Sophie, Noah sent his boss photos of the manager.
Even though he had seen the video, he sat contentedly in his chair, staring at the woman immersed in her work. He even began to wonder whether he should put the photo on his wallpaper, which would arouse a stir in the beautiful employee. Imagining her outrage, he smiled, looking at the photo one last time.
He had a lot of work to do and he knew it wouldn't be easy. The day passed peacefully for everyone.
Sophie decided to go out early today with everyone, suspecting that Darell would call her over. She needed to spend the afternoon alone and think about what to do. After all, she had promised to help Darell with his sleeping arrangements, and that meant she would have to spend practically every night with him. Sighing, she didn't even have time to grab the doorknob of her apartment when she was caught in the arms of an extremely joyful woman.
"Sophie! It's so good to see you!" Diana squealed extremely loudly, making Sophie have to move her head away from her.
"Diana, come on. Don't bother her. Hello Sophie. I'm sorry for her but she couldn't wait to see you." Trying to pull the happy Diana away from the woman, Tomas tried to explain the situation. Sophie just smiled, knowing she could dream of being alone today.
The two of them entered her apartment, sitting comfortably on the sofa. Sophie made warm tea for everyone and sat down next to them.
"I have a good cream for swelling. Wait, I'll bring it soon." Out of the blue, Tomas informed the women as he left the apartment. Diana's gaze immediately shot up to Sophie's face.
"How did this happen? Please tell me it wasn't because of her," Diana visibly became sad. Knowing that Darell wouldn't hide it from her and that she would find out sooner or later, Sophie slowly nodded. Diana grabbed her hands, kneeling in front of her.
"Sophie, I'm so sorry about that..."
"Stop! Get up. I'll explain everything to you in a moment." Knowing that Tomas would bring something for the swelling, she went to wash her face. When she came back, they were both sitting on the sofa and whispering something to each other.
"Before you start imagining who knows what, know that I provoked her on purpose." Sophie started to explain, sitting down in the chair. "I decided to get rid of her in a rather unusual way. I provoked her to hit me in the office. I took the recording to the prosecutor and today I was supposed to receive confirmation of a restraining order. Because of this, working together and living in the same building, she will not be able to meet you together without your permission. I'm sorry I did it without your knowledge but..." Sophie didn't finish speaking as she was hugged by Diana.
"Thank you so much. This will allow us to breathe easier and not have to worry about her."
"Now show your cheek" Tomas knelt down next to Sophie and carefully rubbed her swollen cheek. The momentary pain was quickly replaced by a cold feeling.
"Apply this three times a day. It should disappear in two days."
"Thanks," Sophie looked at the couple, trying to convey to them without words that she would like to be left alone. Fortunately, apart from the unaware Diana, Tomas was also there and quickly understood the situation.
"Diana, we should unpack. You can talk to Sophie another time. Sorry for the intrusion." He took the disappointed girl's hand and they left her apartment, waving goodbye.
Sighing in her chair, Sophie decided to take a relaxing bath. Immersing herself up to her neck in a pleasantly warm bathtub full of bubbles, she began to wonder what to do. Her quiet time ended when she agreed to work for Darell.
"Actually, this is where I can relax a little more and work without any pressure." She rested her head on the edge of the bathtub and closed her eyes. "It would be perfect if siblings didn't bully me at every step, but I should be happy with what I have." A slight smile appeared on Sophie's face.
She was deep in thought and did not hear someone carefully enter her apartment and stealthily enter the bathroom, which she had not locked. Why would she do that? After all, she was at home and only she knew the code. It's just a pity that she forgot about another person who loved to irritate her. Opening her eyes, she felt something was wrong.
She slowly turned her head and, seeing her boss staring at her, she wanted to grab him by the throat and drown him in the bathtub. Rolling her eyes and trying not to burst out, she covered her face with her hand.
"Can I just have one fucking evening to myself?" She asked with resignation in her voice. "What did you come for?"
Her patience was slowly running out. How much can you annoy a person before he does something he will regret? Apparently Darell wanted to find out because he was on his way to seeing what the fucked-up Sophie could do.
"I thought we could eat something out. What do you say?" He asked, pleased to see the irritated woman.
Sophie tilted her head languidly at him and gave him a look that could kill.
"And you had to come into my apartment... into my bathroom... to ask if we were going out?" A terrifyingly cold question escaped her lips.
Darell smiled cockily at the woman and, crossing his arms over his chest, nodded slowly.
Are you enjoying this?... If so…
