Sophia CensatioAll through the ride, I was thinking of Seb. I had promised I was going to treat him to lunch this afternoon but, Aaron had to show up and won't let me be. He wouldn't even give me the chance to talk. He kept threatening me he was going to kiss me if I let a word out. Seb on the other hand has been calling me but I can't pick up his call. I decide to send him a text.Hey! I'm sorry, something came up. I'm with Aaron right now. I'm going to make it up to you next time.Aaron's car came to halt and we both hopped down. I stood in front of the same restaurant we both came to eat at the other day and stood there looking staring around, stunned. Is this man joking right now? Why is he not scared of the paparazzi? What if, they took pictures and make false news about us? "Wh... Why are we here?" I asked him but the idiot only stood there smirking at me. "The last time we came here, you left me all alone. I couldn't even pay for the meal we took! Your mom had to!." I bu

Sophia Censatio"Of course, Mr. Blake. It will be a pleasure to work for you." I smiled as I answered him but, not without feeling Aaron's hard glare on my body. Me Blake left the meeting room and Aaron also left to receive a call. I was left in the meeting room with Nic... No, Jonathan. I hurriedly got up and pick up my bag to leave, I do not want to be in same place with him. He has fooled me enough and, it's so uncomfortable being alone with him in same place. I took my mini iPad and turned to leave but, he stopped me with his voice."Sophia please, don't go." He said as he hold my hand." I do not want to talk to you now. Just let me go""Sophia, I know you're upset at me and you have a lot of questions going through your mind right now but please, just give me the chance to explain myself.""A chance?!" I turned around and glared at him. "A chance you say? You got all the chance while we were together but what did you do? You never use those given chance!" " It's not what you

Sophia Censatio"Yes, Sophia. Please, work for me. I promise you, I'm willing to pay you four times the amount he offered you. Just work for me, that's all I've asked for... huh?." He beseeches me as he holds my hand tightly in his."W..wh...what are you saying? Wo...wor...work for you? What about my work at Aaron's?.""Don't bother about that? I'm willing to pay you four times what he offered you." He repeated the same statement again."What nonsense are you talking about, Nic!" I burst angrily at him as I roughly yank my hand from his. I'm still not used to his new name."Sophia, I-""I can't." I immediately declined him.For some weird reason, I'm scared of leaving Aaron. I should be happy, right? If Nic won't add up to my salary, I should be happy that I've gotten a job and Aaron would finally be out of my life but, I don't want to leave him- for some weird feeling, I d don't have the gut to do that."Why?." He asked."Because I don't want. Yes, he may be arrogant and annoying at

Sophia CensatioI ran to where Aaron's car was parked and leaned against it and poured my heart out. I thought, he was sincere with me. I thought, he was someone I could always rely on and trust but.. everything was all lies. It's all fake. He wasn't genuine with me. His emotions towards me were all lies!I ought not to get myself worked up right? But, I trusted him so much but he lied to me! Not only that. He has someone else in his life but made me believe that I'm special to him."That's because you're stupid." I heard a voice say behind me. I jumped and turned around to face him. I gave him a quizzical face. What's he talking about?"I heard you, silly." He said in a small tone. I can't believe, I said that out loud.I watch him stare at me for a few seconds and sighed. He moved closer to me and muttered "stupid" before he wipe off my tears with his hands.I stared at him stunned. What's going on? What's happening? I can't believe, Aaron just wipe off my years rather than screa

Sophia CensatioI realized I was nothing but a pawn to him and suddenly pushed him away from me before running out of his. I couldn't breathe properly and ran as fast as I could to my house. I drop my bag on the floor and relaxed on my door just to catch a breath.What just happened? Oh my goodness! What does he think of me now? My whole body shivered again as I recalled how he held me tightly there in his car. I could still feel his touch on my body and the taste of his lip on mine.I brought my hand to my lip and touch it.Arrgh!!! You're getting crazy, Sophia- I groaned and smack my head softly.I took my bag and sat on the couch. Brought out my phone and dialed Janet's contact. "Tell me you call me for something important else, I'm going to roast you alive whenever I set my eyes on you." She threatened me as she pick up the call."I kissed him again." I said in a frustrated tone."Wait, what?! You kissed who? Girl, you better open up and tell me what exactly is going on. Stop be

Sophia CensatioI laugh even though it's quite hard on her. "You crazy man! I wasn't talking to you, why did you have to do that?." She jumped on him and start to tickle him.That's Nic's weakest point. He doesn't like it when he's been tickled. "Admit that you're wrong and I will let you go." She said.I sat there smiling at the two. How great it would have been if mom was to be here now."Fine! I'm sorry." He said and she get off him."So, tell me my darling Sophia. Are you fired?.""No, I'm not. Except if you want me to be fired, I will gladly tell my boss to grant your wishes." I said. Even though I didn't mean what I had just said, she took it seriously and glared hard at me."Are you crazy, Sophia!! You want to be fired?!""Don't worry, I won't be fired anytime soon. At least, I'm going to work for him for the next months.""Months? And not years?." I shook my head at her and got up."Go in and get change. I'm going to prepare something for us to eat." I said and sauntered to t

Sophia Censatio"This is not about your relationship with someone else, I don't care about that but, you lied to me, Jonathan. You made me look like a fool and for that, I'm never going to forgive you. I trusted you with my whole heart and treated you like a friend but you betrayed my trust in you. Now, you want me to believe that you're genuine? What if, there's something more you're hiding from me? I can't just find it in me to believe you. Just give me some time... I can't face you right now." I said."Does that mean, you will give me a chance?.""What chance are you talking about?" I questioned, confused. "You just said to give you some time," He said. "I do not understand what you're talking about but, just give me enough time to think about the whole thing. You want me to believe every word that comes out from you but, I don't think now is the right to do that. I'm still upset at you." I said and the idiot's face lit up all of a sudden. Brute!"Thank you so much, Sophia. You

Sophia CensatioWhat just happened?!I stared at them, stunned. I can't believe I just made a fool out of myself. I decided to get my seat and forget about everything that just happened. I do not think, my head is functioning well at the moment. I can't believe he kissed me anytime he feels like it, claim me as his girl and the next thing he does is kiss a random girl that he doesn't know?- that, in my presence. Do I look like a joke to him? How dare he!!•All through the ride to the hotel we were to log in, didn't utter a word to me. Despite seating beside each other on the plane, he didn't say a word to me either. He acted like I never exist, I'm invisible to him. We stood in front of the big hotel and I can't stop admiring the place. It's so beautiful. Beautiful was an understatement until we go in and I saw the interior. It was so beautiful and classy.I wonder if this is a hotel or a house. I look around the places again and keep admiring them. Aaron booked a separate suit for

Sophia CensatioI really have to explore the whole city for a while before meeting with the girls. I picked up my bag and went out of the room.It's been an hour and it's still hard for me to believe that I'm here. This was like a dream come true for me and o will keep repeating it.I've always had this passion for reading novels but for the past months, I stopped. Not because I don't want to but because I do not have free time to do that. I decided to look for a bookstore I will be lucky to get one. Before I could take a step and probably get a cab and tell him to take me to any bookstore, I heard my name being called by a familiar voice.I turned around and stared at him stunned. "Now, you're stalking me Jonathan" I questioned in a disbelief tone. "No! Why would I do that? I wasn't stalking you. I'm here for work." He said and chuckled at the same time before he moved closer to me. He seems sincere."It's nice seeing you here, Sophia. I remembered, you.told.me you would love to

Sophia CensatioI looked at my wristwatch and realized we arrived at the party at the exact time. We all sauntered in and the journalist decides to show their power by flashing cameras on our faces. The fact that I'm not comfortable because of Aaron. The moment we hopped down from the car, he sneaked his right hand around my small waist and draw me closer to himself making the situation worse for me but, I have no choice but to comply. I think Aaron is going crazy! I was treated like a nobody, he acted like I do not exist and now, he's acting like a protective boyfriend again. Bipolar!I wonder what he wants people to say about us, he's putting me more in trouble by doing this but he doesn't care. One moment, he's sweet and caring and another moment, I'm being treated like trash.He won't stop confusing me all the time. We walked into the interior of the building and I couldn't close my mouth. I opened them in awe. The decoration is so beautiful, simple, and yet classy. "Finall
