Semua Bab Chasing Sofia : Bab 81 - Bab 90

ALEXI listened. I listened to him talk. It was like I was listening to a radio station and I had no other choice than to listen. His words cut deep into my soul. It sent more than daggers into my mind and the question I had in my mind was just simple.It was a question of, “what was the whole point?” Like, what was the whole point of me coming to New York in the first place. It was like I came here to play around. The total months I've been here was a waste. It was about six months, and now it was a waste. It was as if all the dreams and aspirations I had carried with me had been swallowed by the towering skyscrapers of New York city that surrounded me. I sniffed and dropped my phone on the table. The city that was once filled with promise for me if I came was now poisonous and being here, it felt like a prison, trapping me in a life that offered no fulfillment.Damn! Damn Blake Crow! Damn him to the hottest part of hell.As I watched the towering buildings, I couldn’t help but q

SOFIAThe dress was suiting, because by the time I got to the place that Alex picked for the date, I was bewildered.The dress I choose was the best yet that I had. I don’t even have much fancy dresses but this was fancy enough to wear for this kind of date. It was a dinner dress that was stunning; it has this flowing silk fabric that suited my skin colour. It featured a fitted bodice with delicate lace detailing on the neckline and sleeves, adding a touch of femininity to my looks. The lower part has a cinched waistline that accentuated my curves, and it flowed gracefully down to the floor with a slight train. I was pushed to trim the lower part but I decided against that. I love it just the way it looked. The back of the dress was adorned with intricate beadwork, creating a mesmerizing pattern. And it exudes sophistication and glamour, making me confident and beautiful.And to talk about the make up? It was the best I had ever worn. After I was done, I looked at myself and smiled.

SOFIA When I had seen Jake again, I couldn't deny the fact that something in me moved. Just like it had years ago when I first met him.And where was that? It was at a bar, I was drunk, so drunk to go back home and when I had finished my fifth bottle, I had gotten up and saw him.The bottle of alcohol was still in my hand as I stood up to come face to face with him. He was looking at me and he was coming close. When he was close enough, he had stopped and leaned closer. The way he had leaned in close, his eyes were flickering with mischief. It was a blur, yet I could still make out his features, just his eyes and his face.They were beautiful. I could even describe how he looked then. He had this piercing blue eyes and chiseled nose made that seemed to be made from one of Michelangelo's sculpture. He was that perfect. And there was a way he had looked at me then and after we began to date. It was if I were the only woman in the world. Despite our breakup then, I couldn't deny his und

ALEX Wanton splendor…I allowed the cold water run through my body like it was my second skin. It gave me this satisfaction I haven’t felt in a while. The coldness penetrated into my skin, boring into my blood streams and touching that part of me that needed to be set asleep.I closed my eyes, totally aware of the amount of water that was running through my blood stream. The sound of running water filled the room, creating a serene atmosphere that I was slowly falling in love with. I adjusted the temperature to ensure it was refreshingly cold. Even if Blake refused to give me the Crow Cartel, I would enjoy the luxury of a good bath. Right now, I didn’t even want to think about that man and his Cartel.I slowly submerged myself into the icy water, feeling an immediate sensation of complete satisfaction. The coldness enveloped my body, awakening my senses and replenishing my tired muscles. It was as if each droplet of water carried with it a burst of energy, enthusiasm and hope for me.

SOFIA So this is what it feels like? I must be dreaming but I was damn sure I was sober and very much aware of my surroundings so I knew everything that happened last night. It felt like a dream but I knew it was real, yes, Alex and I made love.As I sat down to enjoy my breakfast, I couldn’t help but smile as I reminisced about the incredible sexual encounter I had with the man I had been considering to date, that man was Alex! The details of that night were still fresh in my mind, and I found myself reliving every moment with a sense of satisfaction and longing.I hadn’t thought I would be able to take the bold step I took that night. I was scared, so damn scared of being rejected. The problem would have made me even quit because I wouldn’t know what he had in his mind each time he sees me at the office (or, I could just blame it on the alcohol because I made me think I was drunk) . And then when I had kissed him and he didn’t respond, I was shattered, damn, I was angry.But then h
