Entangled Chapter 16
"I'm coming." Sophia answered from inside the kitchen at the persistent knock on the door. She grabbed a dry towel from one of the kitchen drawers and wiped her hands as she hurried to get the door after putting it away on the dinning table. It was almost 8pm and knew she wasn't expecting any visitors neither was her mom. Well whoever it was, they had succeeded in delaying her cooking by a minute.Her right hand met the door knob, turning it in a clockwise direction, she opened the door and her eyes beheld Jethro standing by the door with a bag in one hand and flowers in the other."Mr Gibbs, what a surprise to see you here." She remarked as she played out different possible reasons in her head as to why he was there, standing by her door at such time of the night. What baffled her more was the fact that he had with him a bouquet of flowers."Who could it possibly be for?" She pondered."I'm sorry for stopping by unannounced. I just got off work and thought to stop by.""I see." Sh

The morning sun peered through the brightly colored chiffon curtains in Matt's bedroom. He wriggled in bed, disturbed by the sunrays.It was a Saturday morning meaning a work free day for him and he intended to make the most of it resting in bed. Just when he seemed to have triumphed over the persistent sunrays, his phone started to ring and this made him grumble."I should have set it on silent mode." He thought to himself.He lazily reached for it on his bedside drawer and the caller ID showed it was Vida calling."It's so early in the morning, what is it?" He mumbled, half awake."Are you sure you're on planet earth? It's almost 12pm silly and you're still asleep." She responded."What!?" Matt blurted out, fully awake now. He sat up straight on the bed, checked the little alarm clock by the drawer and it really was almost noon. He didn't realize he had slept for so long. It had been a hectic for day for him yesterday, trying to get acquainted with his father's business before hi

Sophia was seated with her legs folded on the couch and lost in her phone when Luisa arrived at the sitting room.She had been calling out to her daughter for more than five minutes but because of how carried away she was with what she was doing, she hadn't heard her at all.Luisa snatched the phone from Sophia's hand when she got close enough. "Mom!" Sophia tried to reach for it but Luisa wouldn't let her take it."I have been calling you for more than I can remember but here you are lost in your phone. What are you up to that's keeping you so occupied?" Luisa asked, taking a look at the content of the phone.She saw that it was a website on how to secure admission as a part timer at a university."What is this? Are you planning to go back to school?" Luisa asked, surprised at the discovery."Well, I haven't decided yet. I was just thinking about it and maybe decided to check out the possibility of it." Sophia answered."So why haven't you decided yet?" Sophia curled her toes and w

"Hey, I'm here at the restaurant. Where are you?""I can see you. Look up ahead, I'm four tables away from you." Matt answered.Sophia saw him afar off and waved at him, smiling widely. She was so happy to see him. Something she never saw coming.She walked over to the table and while she was at it, Matt couldn't take his eyes off of her.Time seemed to have stood still but only Sophia defied that law. Her beautiful smile that showed off her perfect dentition melted his soul and a gentle wind swept past her red hair, playing with it even as she tried to keep it stuck behind her ear.It was a strange feeling for Matt. He had never seen her look more beautiful than she did as he gazed at her. Putting together what this feeling was was something he was having a hard time doing.Sophia snapped her fingers in front of his face, bringing him back to reality."You seem spaced out, is everything alright?" She asked, taking a seat across from him."Yeah, sure. Everything's fine. Thank you so m

It was Monday already and for Matt that meant the start of a new phase for him. It was a day he had always dreaded but here it was.Being put in charge of his father's company felt too much of a burden for him but there was nothing he could do. The announcement had already been made and even though he had always tried to avoid being a part of the business, it was still his responsibility as the son of his father to carry on his legacy.And the Davies Corporation was a part of that legacy.He looked at himself one more time in the mirror in his bedroom. "Who would have thought that you, Matt Davies would put on a suit. Argh!" He sighed.Suits were never a fashion trend he had fancied but it was one of the jobs requirements. He was more of a causal, smart casual kinda guy.Matt loved to play with his colours but being in the corporate world, business formal was now a thing if he wanted to be taken seriously in the industry."How boring." He thought.What was more exhausting for Matt w

Sophia crept into the house like a thief on a mission, trying as hard as she could to avoid making a sound but the moment she got to the bottom of the stairs, the light from the nightstand came on.She froze on the spot and slowly turned, cringing her face to look her mom."It's past 10pm Sophia. You ought to have been home hours ago." Sophia grinned and brushed her hair behind her ear. She could see the frown on her mom's face but worse was she had no idea what to tell her.Sophia wasn't ready to tell her about Matt. She didn't want her mom putting silly ideas of how he could be the one in her head.And knowing what her mom was like, she would insist on inviting him over and she wasn't ready to involve him in her personal life no matter the form of their relationship at the moment."Why are you quiet? I've been calling your phone all night, worried about where you could possibly be but not once did you return my call." Luisa accused."I'm sorry mom. I would have called but I ran out

Daniella stared suspiciously at Sophia who couldn't keep her eyes off the clock on the wall as she tapped her nails absent mindedly on her desk.There were barely any customers at the moment so she had alot of free time on her hands.The tapping of Sophia's nails on the desk was becoming too much for Daniella to ignore and she knew she just had to ask what was going on."You've been staring so hard at that clock, it's a surprise it's still in its place and not shattered on the floor yet. Also, what's with the tapping of fingers on the desk?" "Oh!" Sophia paused and quit the tapping. "I'm sorry." She adjusted in her seat."Tell me what's on your mind. Is something the matter?" Daniella asked, concern laced in her tone.Sophia fiddled with her fingers for a while and touched the necklace on her neck. She was lost in her thoughts and her flushed cheeks showed they were happy ones."Hey, Sophia." Daniella touched her. "Are you seeing someone?" She asked, giving her the suspecting stare.

Matt gulped down the contents of his glass and began pouring himself another as Andrea watched him, pitifully. He was about to gulp down its contents when Andrea snatched the glass from his grip.“C’mon man, you’ve had just about enough drinks for tonight.” He said, pushing the bottle of liquor and glass away from Matts’ reach.“No, I just need one more glass and I’m done.” Matt pleaded in a drunken state.“That’s not gonna happen. You’re done and if I were you, I would pull myself together.”Matt sighed and sank into the couch at the VIP section of the bar where they sat. Andrea looked at him quietly for a while as he stared into space.He looked horrible and so dejected, Andrea had never seen him in such a state before. It was a first. “You know man, I still do not understand what the problem is with you. I mean why are you letting yourself get wasted? And why are we here at this bar and not at yours?” Andrea asked, worried for his friend.“I don’t want to talk about it.” Andrea si
