Sofia's POV
Tragedy.
My first year in college, during summer break I lost my grandfather. It was one of the sadness days of my life but I got through it, I had my family, my friends, I had Jake.
He helped me through it, but who is going to help me with losing him.It happened 2 months ago but it feels like today. I still remember when I received the call, from Jake's mother telling me to meet them at the hospital."Sofia honey, meet us at the hospital." She said immediately I answered her call.
"What?" I asked confused."It's Jake honey, he was in an accident." She said sniffing tears."Jake? But he just left here." I said still in shock."I'm on my way," I said ending the call."What's wrong?" My brother asked as I lSofia's POVI stood outside Noah's room at the resort. I'd tried to calm myself down on the walk over so that I could present all my points rationally to him, but instead, I'd just gotten more worked up. He is suddenly here after years of no contact and is acting like everything is okay.He sent me flowers today asking me to join him for breakfast tomorrow and yesterday he sent me chocolates and flowers and the day before that he just showed up at my house.I am extremely in a messed up place right, I don't need this, I don't need him here right now.Why was he doing this to me? Part of me wondered if I should be at his door if I should be banging on his door.The door was closed, but I could see the light on beneath the door. I knocked and bounced my hip impatiently while I waited for him to respond."It's open."I turned the knob and stepp
Sofia's POVI was avoiding everyone, especially Noah. I haven't seen him since last night and honestly I wasn't planning on seeing him even though I do want to see him but I keep telling myself I don't.My only goal tonight was to get drunk and finally find my way home and pass out. I was already halfway there, having downed three margaritas. When I noticed Noah at the bar, it was a bar at the resort.He saw me too, he was talking with a few other men, but every time he'd glance in my direction, I felt like we were the only two people in the room which absolutely insane because I feel nothing for him, I'm obviously just sex hangover from last night. Every now he would smile at me and I'd pretend I didn't see him even though my eyes were glued to him.I chose to stop paying attention to him. It ma
Sofia's POVI wake up to the sound of my phone ringing, I look over to Noah's side and he's wide awake just watching me. He slept over last night.My phone starts to ring again and I grab it to see it's my mom calling."Hi mom." I answering the call."Hi sweetie, how are you?" She asks."I'm fine, how are you?""I'm good honey, So your dad and I were thinking of driving over there and we could have lunch together." My mom says excitedly."What? Why?" I ask now getting up to sit down."Well because we miss you and we're worried you're all alone there." She says."Mom, I'm fine and in fact I have a busy day today." I say."Really? Doing what?" She asks totally not believing me."Noah is in town and we're having lunch together." I lie because I honestly didn't want her to come, suddenly all she wants i
Sofia's POVI wake up alone, Noah stayed over last night but he must have left before I woke up. I had just gotten out of the shower when I heard voices outside my bedroom door. I poke my head out to see it's Jasmine and Michael coming up to my bedroom."What are you doing here?" I ask as they join me in my room."Just wanted to come see our friend." Jassy says rolling her eyes as she plops down on my bed."Bel Air is different without you." Micheal says with a groan."Yeah absolutely and I just graduated college I need a job." Jasmine says groaning."Okay let see if I can help." I say. "You can both move to Palm Springs and we could all live together and have so much fun." I add."Yeah does sound like fun but what about the job I need?" Jassy asks."Well I could give you a job at the resort or winery?" I say and
Sofia's POVMy mom was so happy about my trip to New York that she got our 5th Avenue penthouse ready for my friends and me.I actually wanted us to stay at a hotel or something but she insisted. When my parents got back together and remarried, my mom moved back to L.A. I don't even know why we still own the penthouse, it's a 3 floor penthouse with about 7 rooms with an amazing view of the city.When we reached New York and went to the penthouse, she had staffs waiting to cater to our every need. I know she's trying so hard, and it's all because of me and my emotional state. I would actually tell her to back off, I don't need that much babying but I know she wouldn't listen to me plus I'm kind of enjoying being treated like a princess."This place is AMAZING!" Jasmine exclaims looking around."Yeah it's beautiful and this view right here, I d
Noah's POVWhen I'm done getting ready, I hear voices downstairs in the kitchen. Sofia laughing out loud with my brother Rafael."Hey." I say joining them."Hey you." My brother says.Sofia pours me a cup of coffee and passes it to me."Thank you." I say with a smile then I take a sip."So you're staying here?" My brother asks. "What about your apartment?" He asks and I frown.Yes I have an apartment here in New York but I didn't mention it to Sofia, mainly because I want to be wherever she is."You have a place here?" Sofia asks turning to me and I nod yes."Cool, I'll like to see it." She says with a smile and I breathe a sigh of relief, she's not mad. In fact she's very happy today, the happiest I have seen her in a while."We should get going." My brother says getting up."You're going out?" She asks."Yeah, lunc
Sofia's POVIt's still dark when I walk up morning. I wake up disoriented until I feel Noah's arm around me and his warm naked body pressed up against my back. None of the anxiety that usually plagues me at night showed up while I was in my bed with him, allowing me to sleep better than I have in a long time.I try to ease my way out of his embrace to go grab a quick shower, but he tightens his hold on me."Not yet," he mutters in a gruff, sleepy voice.Coming down from a high, I need a hot shower. I say."Mind if I join you?""Of course not." I say.I look away from him in the shower, suddenly I feel so exposed.He turns to face me, and I'm caught off guard by the intense way he looks at me. His hands frame my face, forcing me to gaze up at him, not that it's a hardship. He's even more handsome in the morning, God I missed him so much.
Noah's POVArthur Connelly and I met in college first day and we became friends in an instant. I'm not a friends kind of guy, I only have few friends. Before we moved to L.A I had a few guys I was cool with back in Miami but since we moved to L.A in senior year high school we kind of lost touch but then I became friends with Sofia and her whole friends group.When we broke up right before graduation I thought that was it with the new friends I made but weirdly I stayed friends with Michael, Zack and even Jake though we hardly spoke when he started dating Sofia.We just arrived at Arthur's party in The Hamptons, his house is huge. Like a villa beach house huge. It's filled up with people, music blasting through speakers.Immediately we walk in, Michael and Jasmine disperse into the party to go get drinks while Sofia and I make it in and upsta
