Joyce was fuming. There was something cooking deeply at the pit of her stomach that wouldn't stop pulsing up her veins. She was really pissed off. The plan had been to see if Sophie was okay, walking into a compromising position between the duo was way out of the plan.Her gaze drifted from Sophie's wide eyes to the face of the man in front of her. Tyler only managed a small smile at her unable to tell what exactly was on Joyce's mind. If Sophie didn't notice, Tyler had turn around in time to see a small frown make its way to the latter's face.“I'm sorry, ” Joyce was anything but apologetic at that moment but she forced herself to mouth the words to her best friend who looked slightly offended by the interruption.Tyler moved away from the bed and rather than Joyce leave, she stood there by the door watching the duo. At the end, Tyler smiled and walked out of the room, brushing past Joyce with a murmur of apology. Joyce stared at his retreating figure with a tight smile.“What was th

Sophie ran the tip of the blunt red lipstick over her lips for the umpteenth time, pursing her lips here and there for the desired effect. She smacked her lips together to merge the color she had previously run over it together. Grabbing a pair of her earrings from the opened jewelry box she had brought along with her, Sophie slipped the round loops on.She took a step back and bent over to slip her feet into her Prada peep toe heels, a rest from her usual stilettos and six inches. Just as she started to fasten the strap, the door to the bathroom opened, and out came a dressed Tyler.Sophie paused what she was doing, her gaze skirting over his outfit for a second. Her pulse raced more than she intended for it to as her heart slowed for a second. He was dressed in nothing but black jeans, his feet slipped into a pair of Nike Converse. The navy blue shirt he had over the jeans, untucked, looked as beautiful as he had imagined it to be. Maybe even more beautiful.Her lips parted and her

The loud bang on the door for the umpteenth time that morning made Sophie let out a low groan. Her eyes were screwed shut and she was extremely tired. All she wanted at that moment was to sleep in but with the heavy pound on the door, she knew she had to get her ass up.The pound increased followed by a voice she was very familiar with.Sophie groaned loudly to no one in particular as she gripped the tip of her covers, she flung it off her. As she opened her eyes for the first time that morning, a loud startling scream escaped her at the sight of the blue-eyed man lying on the bed beside her. He had his eyes on her, his lips curved up in a sly smirk that almost had her bolting out of the bed.Almost.“Were you aiming to kill me?” She screamed, her hand flying to her chest to steady her now racing heart. She eyed him as his smile grew.“It's not funny, Ty.” She hissed, a bit annoyed that he wasn't taking her seriously. She almost lost her mind at the sight of him. “I almost lost my god

"This is so beautiful,” Sophie cooed at her Harper when she stepped out of the change room wearing the floral dress she had picked from the rack.“Yeah. It's not even giving maternity style in any way.” Joyce agreed.“I can be pregnant and still wear it,” Willow also added, looking away from the stack of clothes laying on the space beside her.“Ever seen a hot soon to be mom?” Harper grinned, tossing her hair to the back as she sashayed up front and back. The ladies hyped her up on her parade, smiling and laughing.“You are killing it, sis.” Sophie blew her a kiss before she dashed into the change room with the dress she had selected. The designer dress on her skin made her feel like it was made directly for her. She loved how calming the material felt too. “Guys,” she smiled, getting her friend's attention when she stepped out. Three pairs of eyes landed on her and soon, three replicate smiles stretched out on their faces.“Talk about a hot model,” Harper cooed, earning a laugh from

Harper had scheduled for the group a visit to a book store she had sighted in town. She felt that it would give her time to catch up on her business which her assistant was running and she needed a room to breath. Lately, she had taken to doing whatever would make her happy. Anything that would bring her closer to her child, that would strengthen their bond. She had started to put herself first. Prioritize her happiness over anything else.The ride to the bookstore across the road was smooth and filled with comfortable silence. As soon as the car stopped, they all stepped out, filing into the coffee bookstore.“I can't believe you brought us to a book store, Harps.” Joyce chuckled as they walked into the small yet large space. “Really? What's the next thing we will be getting?” She grumbled.“You just wait and see,” Harper winked. She ignored her friends death stare as she walked away to the area she wanted. She wanted to read every book she can find to prepare her to be a mother. T
