“He tells me he loves me, but I don’t know what I believe.” I said to Paris on the phone.“How do you feel…what does your heart tell you?” She asked me as I scrunched my brows downwards.“That I can trust him, his affection seems familiar but…I don’t know.” I told her as she chuckled lightly.“You don’t know what?” She asked me.“Like…what about Jayden?” I asked her with a heavy sigh.“What about him?” She asked me.“He’s been there for me…I actually remember most of our moments together.” I reminded her.“Well, it won’t be fair to him, if you like Leo and you’re still in a relationship with him.” She bluntly stated.“So what now?” I asked her.“Do what’s right.” She said to me.“Which is?” I asked in frustration.“I don’t know, Sophia.” Paris answered.“But I need to know.” I said with a loud groan.“You alone know what you want…what makes you happy.” Angela chimed in.“More like who makes her happy.” Paris added.“You’re right. I’ll think about it later.” I stated.“Procrastination

“We are having a family brunch.” Leo informed me as I sipped my lemonade.“Okay?” I asked softly.“Well, I want you there with me.” He stated as I smiled.“I don’t know…” I began cautiously.“You don’t know what?” He cut my sentence off with his question.“Being around your family and you know…socializing.” I said to him.“Well, they aren’t so bad. I promise, it won’t be like the last time.” He assured as I frowned.“The last time?…what happened the last time?” I asked him curiously.“Oh. Nothing, it’s a long story.” He brushed it off.“Okay. We have all the time in the world.” I insisted.“This isn’t the right place.” He said with an awkward sip of his black coffee.“Nowhere is ever going to be the right place for you.” I told him.“But ~” He began as I shook my head adamantly.“Please, I need to know. Help me remember who I really was.” I plead.“It’s just…I fucked up then.” He said.“You’ve said that before. I’m sure I messed up in other ways too.” I said in consolation.“Not reall

As I ate my dinner slowly,, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awkwardness around Leo. The dream I had about him had left me feeling shy and reserved, and I didn't know how to process my emotions.Leo noticed the change in me immediately. He would catch me looking at him, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment, and he would smile knowingly.I offered to clear the table, despite the workers doing so just to give my self some distance away from him.I followed the chef into the kitchen with the dirty dishes before realizing Leo was right behind me with some plates too.Leo turned to me and asked, "Sophia, is everything okay? You seem a little...distracted lately."I blushed, feeling a little self-conscious. "I'm fine, Leo. Just a little...tired, that's all."Leo raised an eyebrow, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Tired?" he repeated. "Or maybe just a little...preoccupied?"I looked away, feeling my cheeks grow even hotter. How did he figure it out exactly?But Leo just chuckled and t

I woke up to the sound of laughter outside my window, feeling a sense of warmth and happiness that I hadn't felt in a long time as I remembered the kiss Leo and I shared last night.. As I sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep from my eyes, I realized that I had just had a romantic dream about Leo.In the dream, Leo and I were walking on a beautiful beach, hand in hand. The sun was setting, it’s reflection showed over the waves. Leo turned to me and smiled, his eyes shining with love and adoration. He took my face in his hands and kissed me, and I felt a rush of emotions that left me breathless.As I lay in bed, my fingers on my lips, reliving the dream, I realized that my feelings for Leo went far beyond friendship. I was falling for him, hard.I got out of bed and began to get ready for the day, my mind racing with thoughts of Leo. We were still at his family’s estate and I knew that we would not be spending the day together, since he planned on traveling for business.“ I thought you’d

“Sophia!” Stan said as he rushed towards me with glee all over his face.“Oh my…” I heard Angela’s usual expression as she followed suit and I accepted both hugs happily.Leo’s deception still gnawed strongly at the back of my mind, but I wasn’t planning on letting it affect my initial plan of surprise.I laughed happily as the both narrated how they spent the days without me.“We didn’t expect to see you till tomorrow or next.” Angela said as I smiled knowingly at her.“Yes. I planned on surprising all of you.” I informed her as Edgar continued bringing in the bags.“Either ways, I am so glad…a part of me thought you’d miss my birthday.” Stan said with a grin.I roughed his hair with my fingers, as I said,” I can’t miss it for the world.”“Doesn’t mean you’ll mess my hair up!” He exclaimed as I laughed and searched for the gift packs.I gave both of them their gifts from my shopping and withheld the specific items for Stan’s birthday.Giving Angela also the gift I got for Paris’ fath
