Chapter 3

SOFIA

He is a real definition of a hot, sexy and beautiful Greek god.

Beautiful?

Yeah he is beautiful. I mean what else would you call a so perfect looking guy if not beautiful? His nice hair cut gave him a unique look. He has cute hazel dim eyes, gosh pointed nose, lips to die for and totally totally kissable. He had very strong jaw and smooth toned skin.

His height gosh... totally incredible. I could barely reach his shoulders or maybe reach it. God he is so handsome and to think that I felt some butterflies in my stomach when his strong but warm hands held my body preventing me from falling, they were really butterflies.

He looks rich too by the way he is dressed and the manner he spoke. I wonder what a person like him in a place like this.

He said his name is David and that made me believe that truly, David in the holy book was indeed handsome.

"Aren't you going to tell me your name?" He asked and I came back from my ridiculous thoughts.

"Oh....am Sofia" he smiled and seriously I felt like fainting. Gosh it was the most cutest smile I have ever seen.

"Sofia... That's a very lovely name"

There I felt shiver run down my spine at the sound of my name coming out of his ever cute lips.

Gosh Sofia you are totally loosing it

I agree. My name sounded sexy in his kissable lips.

He smiled again and I got lost. I couldn't keep my eyes away from his beautiful well made face. Geez God did created some people in a very special way. Unlike us who look like... I don't know what, but better off doing chores, go to the market and....

Oh geez

My purpose of coming to the market hit me as I searched for my goods but didn't find.

No no no Sofia no wha.....

"Here are your goods Miss" a cute little girl around seven or eight brought my basket along with two other little boys who were helping her to carry the heavy basket.

"Aww. Thank you so much sweethearts" I said as I moved to them and collected the basket before they break their waist due to the weight of it.

"You all are so adorable"

I heard David chuckle as he held the kids and ruffle their hair making them giggle. He seems to know them. Could it be that he is their father?

Oh no.

"Uncle David, is she a friend of yours?" The little girl asked making me let out a surprising sigh of relief.

I don't know why but I would be hurt if he was their father. I can't understand why I felt that way for a total stranger.

A cute and sexy stranger though.

"No. We just met. Her name is Sofia" he said to them and the three of them said together...

"Hi Miss Sofia!"

I smiled at them as i leaned down to their level. "Call me Sofia. What are your names?"

"Am Maria, this is Pete" she pointed to the boy at her right who gave me a bright smile. "And this is Maxie" she pointed to the one at her left. They are all adorable.

"Nice to meet you all" I said smiling.

"Same here. Can I call you Sofie?" Maria asked and I nodded. "Sure. One of my besties call me that and I like it." She nodded happily making me smile. My eyes went to David and I was a bit shocked that he was staring at me. Gosh his stare could make you nervous.

Is there something on my face? I hope not.

His stare broke away by the noises from numerous kids coming to us. Actually to him. They were not that much, maybe up to twenty. Where did he get them from? They were all calling him uncle. He can't be related to all these children can he?

He was talking.... more like playing with them a little and i couldn't keep my eyes away from him as I admired the way he related so well with the kids. He must really love kids. He is so comfortable with them and so are the kids. They all looked so adorable.

Especially him. David. Still admiring God's beautiful work, I began to imagine him in my head playing with the kids we both made together. That will be a beautiful and joyful sight.

I slapped my self mentally for thinking that far and also about a total stranger. I should go back home now. Aunt must be on her way or maybe be at home already waiting to do worse to me for not waking up early and also coming back late from the market.

Yet I can't bring myself to leave. He's too cute to stop looking. Gosh Sofia get a grip of yourself.

"Hey" he snapped me out of my ever weird thoughts. "we could drop you off if you don't mind" He said.

He is also a gentleman. Perfection must be this guy's middle name. My mind went back to what he said.

"Wha... No no don't worry I'll take the bus" why would he worry? he has known me for what...some minutes or more? We are both total strangers.

"You can join us. We got extra seats. Beside you could save your money for something else" he said with a smile and mehn did my heart flutter.

But nah...

"No I can't....."

"Please?" My heart skipped a beat immediately I heard him beg. I won't dare to refuse this time. And his cute dim eyes looking at me like they were looking deep down my soul.

Hell even you won't refuse.

"Okay" I said earning a smile from him. 

"Time to go back now!" He sang aloud to the children. Their expression changed when he said that and it made me chuckle. Kids. They don't like ending their fun.

We made our way to their bus. It was a long yellow bus almost like a school  bus but the writing on it spoke otherwise.

'Merciful King Orphanage'

An orphanage? He must be the owner. A very good one at that. Not everyone would make out time to waste on kids who are not theirs. The world is scarce of good people but he was different. Not only is he cute, hot or sexy but he is also a kind hearted man.

Perfection.

I sat in the front seat opposite him as we went on the ride. The children were singing melodiously and beautifully. Surprising me, he also joined them in singing the song. His voice sounded good and alluring from where I sat. I couldn't help but stare at him.

He would close and open his eyes as he sang, taking in the song. The wind blew his hair making him look like  those hot models in the company I work taking a photoshoot. But not one of them could measure up to his uniqueness.

Gosh what a man.

Girl snap out of it already!

My back thought yelled at me, making me look away from him and face my window. The view outside wasn't anywhere close to pleasant like him but I really have to stop admiring him. Once the bus stops at my house I won't be seeing him again.

That's normal routine for strangers. Except you exchange numbers. And a part of me wanted him to ask me for my number.

After some minutes we stopped at my house. He helped me with the door and I stepped down.

I turned to him and smiled.

"Thanks for the ride David" I said. "I wish I could repay you for your kindness" this would make him demand for my number.

Yeah.

"It's nothing okay? Take it as a gift" he said ever nicely but disappointing me. Why doesn't he want to demand for my number? Doesn't he want to see me again? I really want to see him again. why can't...

Geez Sofia cut it out!

"Are you okay?" He asked with concern evident in his words. Then I realized that I just said that out loud.

Shit.

"Yeah am fine. I'll go in now. My aunt must be waiting for me" I said as I took steps back.

Again he smiled. This guy must have bags of unending smiles in his possession. Cause he never stop smiling and that suit him perfectly. I doubt if he ever gets angry. Something tells me he would also look as cute as ever when angry.

"Alright then. Bye" he said softly.

"Bye" I gave a smile and turned to my house but the kids didn't want to be left out as they shouted my name.

"Good bye Sofie!!" I quickly turned to them. Smiling, I waved at them. Their heads were popped out of the window as their little hands waved at me.

"Bye kids"

"We hope to see you again!" Maria said out loud. I laughed as they drove off...

Yeah I hope so too.

He didn't collect my number. He didn't even ask for it. I feel like a stranger to him.

Girl you are a stranger to him.

My back thought said and I sighed.

I guess he doesn't like me. Am a dummy to think that an ever so perfect man like him could like a simple girl like me.

No way.

Sighing, I turned around and I froze when my eyes met an angry looking woman.

"Aunt. You are.....home" I said with all innocent and I knew that doesn't work for her.

"Why are you just coming back?" She asked with that usual deep angry tone of hers.

I gulped as I stuttered. "I um.....am..."

"Get in here" she entered the house after saying that.

I am in trouble and I know it.

Oh gosh.
