I arrived a school at 9:40am because there was a minor traffic on the road, I had 20min left before my class start.
I fastened my pace to my class so I wouldn't be late, I got to class early because the lecture hadn't begun yet so I arranged my books and awaited the lecturer. The lecturer arrived on time and started lecture immediately, time flew and class ended at 11:30. I packed my stuff and left the class to go meet Nora and Whitney.
Lucky for me I had only one class today so I was done for the day. I saw both my best friends walking towards me but they didn't see me yet . I hadn't seen them throughout the weekend and I already missed them. I smiled when they saw me and they both had huge grins on their faces. When we were finally close enough, we embraced ourselves in a tight hug.
"My bestie, Sofia, I missed you so much. It's like you left for a year" Whitney said while breaking from the hug.
"yeah it like she left us for so long meanwhile it was only for the weekend" Nora added still smiling.
" I know right, I missed you girls", I told tell while were moved towards the school exit.
"My mom sends her greetings to you both", I said to both of them.
" oh sweet Mrs Williams, I miss her cooking. She is such a nice woman" Whitney say as we got to the gate.
"True indeed, the next visit we will be going with you" Nora said as we got to my car.
"Yeah, so where are we going now. It's either we go home or we go to a nearby restaurant because I'm starving" I told them as we entered my car.
Whitney and Nora didn't have cars of their own because according to them cars are not in their budget yet. I got my car first year of college as a gift from my parents. So we shared the car because I consider them my sisters and the car was theirs as much as it was mine.
"Oh let go to a restaurant because I'm not sure we have enough food at home so after lunch we go to buy groceries, okay?"Nora said while I was driving to the nearest restaurant close to us.
"Yeah so how was your weekend?" I asked them as I started off a conversation.
"For me it was boring because I had a test today so instead of spending my weekend clubbing, I spent it studying" Whitney said with a frown on her face.
" Well, I went on a date with a guy I met at work" Nora said to us as we arrived at the restaurant.
Nora and Whitney worked at a unisex saloon, while I worked at a shelter home for animal, mostly because I loved animals and I didn't want to depend on my parents for everything.
"Waow! wait! hold up!. You didn't say anything about a date to us" Whitney yells a little as we we entered the restaurant.
"Yeah , about that I didn't know if I wanted to go on the date or not so I didn't say anything but the guy was so persuasive that I had to consider going. So sorry "MOM" for not telling you" Nora said playfully as we found seats and ordered our lunch.
The restaurant was nice and the service here was good because I've been here twice and I know they served good food.
"What about you miss Sofia, tell us how you spent your weekend", Nora say with a smile on her face.
"Well my weekend wasn't as eventful as yours Nora, I spent my weekend studying for my upcoming test and yeah baking cookies with Mom". I told them as the waitress brought our food to the table. I thanked her and started eating.
After lunch, we paid our bills and headed to the cars. On my way out, I bumped into someone. I looked up to see a very handsome man.
Waow... he was the most handsome man I'd ever seen. He was staring down at me with his blue eyes that looked so beautiful, he is probably 6'3 or so in height because he was towering over my 5'5 height.
Yeah I know I'm not favoured in height. I hadn't realized I was staring at him probably drooling for like two minutes until he spoke "Uhm , excuse me".
He said, he had a strong accent probably Italian. I was still staring at him until I saw a smirk on his face and my face was red at that point.
" I would like to go and get something from inside but seeing as you are standing in my way piccolo, I don't think that will be possible" he said again with his thick voice and he still had that smirk on his face.
"I'm sorry" I said as I moved out of his way and he went inside still with that stupid smirk on his face.
"Sofia what are you doing here we have been waiting for you by the car for the past five minutes".
Whitney told me but I was absentminded still thinking about those mesmerizing blue eyes I just saw. "Earth to Sofia, what are you thinking about you this silly girl" she say a little irritated that I wasn't listening and that snapped me back to reality.
" Uhm.. Uhm..N-Nothing" I stutter still dazed." Nothing , let go now" I said after clearing my throat.
"Are you sure you're okay" she asked again. "Yeah I am" I reassured her.
"Girl where were you, we were waiting for you" Nora ask me as we arrived at the car. "Sorry, Uhm, my car keys fell so I was looking for it" I told them as we drove home.
On our way home the girls were arguing about a movie they watched on Sunday night while my mind was elsewhere, I was thinking about a particular blue eyes. A strange thing I didn't fail to observe was that he had a strange aura, I couldn't quite decipher what it was but it was disturbing.
I quickly cleared my mind from the stranger and involve myself in the movie my friends were arguing loudly about. I laughed to myself at how lucky I was to have such friends as I drove us home.

We arrived home and we went to our separate rooms. I was tired so I decided to take a nap. Thirty minutes, while I was still sleeping I heard a knock on my bedroom door, "Sofia, can I come in" I heard Whitney say on the other side of the door." Yeah, come in, the door is unlocked" I said to her as I sat up and rubbed my eyes still feeling sleepy. She came in and said "Nora and I are going to get the groceries, because we forgot to go get them on our way back from the restaurant". I chuckled remembering that we were supposed to go to the supermarket after we left the restaurant but we were so engrossed in our conversation that we actually forgot. "Yeah ok ,I'll just continue my nap then. Bye". I told her as I got back in bed since I had nothing to do for the day. The rest of the week was uneventful as we went to college and we went to work after college. Today was Friday and we just got back from college though we didn't work today. It was 4:00pm and we were all laying lazily o
Matteo pov~ I was walking towards the entrance of my club because I got bored and was probably going to a putana to relieve my stress at one of my hotel. I was bumped into by someone, I was pissed because I was already tired and someone decided that it would be interesting to bump into me. As I was about to cuss out the person and possibly strangle the person, the frown on my face faded into a shocked one as I saw the familiar face.." Oh come on why do I keep bumping into peo-", She was stuck on her words as she looked up to see who she bumped into. " The second time we meet and you bumped into me, again tesoro (treasure) " I said as I smirked at her. She looked into my eyes dazed. " I'm sorry, I didn't see you ", she said shaken up maybe at the fact that she didn't expect to see me again. "Si(yes), it seems you like bumping into me Mia cara ( My dear) " I said to her. Before she could reply, my phone rang and I told her as I left "Mi scusi". (Excuse me). I got a phone call from se

I stretched my muscles and went to the kitchen to fix something for my self cause I was starving, I saw Whitney and Nora sitting by the counter talking and eating macaroni nd cheese, they hadn't seen me yet so I made my presence known. "Hey girls what's up" I said, my voice still sound sleepy. "Oh hey Sof, how was your sleep" Nora said as she ate the last food in her plate. I walked to put some macaroni for myself. " it was nice. Whitney what's up" I said as I notice Whitn
A/N; Good morning everyone. Please I would like you to comment what you think of this story in the comment just for encouragement. Thanks Sofia pov cont'd~Today made it a month since the whole Matteo incident. It was Saturday and I was grateful that we didn't have college today or work because I was so exhausted from all the nausea I'd been feeling. It was 9:00am and around this time on a normal day, the girls and I would have been preparing breakfast and chatting but since 3:00am I'd been throwing up, so I was still in bed. While all these thoughts had been in my head, I heard a knock on my room door. “Hey Sof, are you awake and.. can I come in?" I heard Nora asked. “Yeah, you can" I replied back. She came in not alone though but with Whitney behind her. “Hey girl why you still in bed..... Whoa, what happened to you? You look like you didn't sleep last night" Whitney said as she notice my face which I'm guessing looks like that of a ghost. “Yeah, I couldn't sleep
Sofia pov~ **Beep.. beep.. beep**, that was the first sound I heard once I woke up. Uggh, what was that sound?,So disturbing. I groaned as I tired opening my eyes but failed due to it being heavy, I tried again and it worked, but my eyes shut as quickly as it opened due to the brightness in the room. I opened my eyes successfully this time as I adjusted to the bright light in the room. I recognized the beeping sound and the IV and it dawned on me that I was in the hospital. But why though; last thing I remember was blacking out, oohh I guess the girls brought me here, I wonder what happened to me. I was interrupted from my train of thought by Nora voice, I hadn't even realized that they were present in the room. “Sofia, you're finally awake”. Nora said a little loudly as the tone of her voice woke up a sleeping Whitney. “Nora, what happened? Why'd you wake me up?” Whitney said a little irritated as she rubbed her eyes. “Whitney, Sofia woke up”, Nora said excitedl
Sofia POV It was friday today, making it almost a week since I got discharged from the hospital. The whole week had been the most stressful week ever; my morning sickness continued and it was worse the day after I returned from hospital, I hadn't been able to perform my daily activities and go to college. I had lost weight cause I didn't really eat much, despite the doctor saying I should eat more and eat slowly, that shit doesn't work out though. All in all, the week had been depressing. The girls tried to lighten my day by watching movies, playing games though it helped a little but it's not the same. I lost appetite because food just became horrible and I couldn't sleep well. I still hadn't gotten over the fact that I was pregnant, I hadn't called my parents the whole week and when they tried calling I didn't answer because I didn't want to lie to them neither did I like keeping things from them. I hadn't even begun searching for my baby daddy; hell, I didn't even know
Matteo POV~ Since the night I spent with Sofia, I had been restless, mainly because of the way she left that morning before I even woke up. I had to admit she was good in bed and I was starting to feel something for her. I saw something in Sofia that I couldn't see in any other female but that feeling and thought flew out the window when I woke up the next day and she was gone. It was frustrating on how she made the night feel like a one night stand whereas I had other plans. I tried to clear her off my mind and focus on my work and other things for distraction but she was always getting in my head. I got tired of this feeling and explained everything to Santi and he advised that I searched for her. At first I thought the idea was dumb as fuck but when it started interfering in my work and I couldn't focus a day without thinking about her smile, her eyes, her laugh, her everything infact! I knew I had to do something, anything to overcome this new feeling, even if the thing
Sofia pov~ I woke up to the bright sun rays from the open windows, my eyes Immediately closed due to reflex. I opened my eyes again as I adjusted to the brightness in the room. I tried to stretch but found out I'm hooked to different hospital machines. The only sound in the room was the sound of my regular heartbeat. I realized I was at the hospital, but how did I get here and who brought me here. I looked around the room to find out that I wasn't the only person in the room. I had company, two people to be precise. Oh did something happen to me, is that why the girls brought me here? Or did something happen to my baby. At the thought of that, I gasp loudly as tears gathered in my eyes. Whitney and Nora, the two people in the room who were sleeping on the uncomfortable couch woke up with a jolt due to my gasp. “Hey, Sofia what's wrong? Are you okay? Are you in pain? Is something wrong?" Nora questioned me soothingly with panic in her voice as she checked to see if

•FIVE YEARS LATER• ~Omniscient~ “Aurelia Starr Russo! Get down here now!" Sofia called her five year old. She had just returned from medical school and the house looked like a tournament had just taken place. It was scattered with crayons, books and toys. She sighed when she thought of how to begin cleaning the house when she had just spent 6 hours at med school. “Hey mommy, I missed you” Aurelia engulfed her mother in a tight hug as she smiled at her. “My love I missed you too.... Mama, why are your things scattered everywhere. I already told you not to play with all your toys the same time” she spoke gently to her as she lifted her on her hips. “I'm sorry mommy, I didn't mean to make a mess” Aurelia apologize as she pouted. “It's okay, we'll clean it up...

MATTEO POV~ Today made it exactly a month since the incident and the birth of my daughter. I still hadn't figured out a name yet, I was secretly hoping Sofia would wake up anytime soon so we could name her together. Today my little angel would be out of the NICU and I would be able to hold her for the first time. I stood outside the children's unit as I watched the doctors and nurses detach the machines from her. I couldn't wait to lift her tiny body in my hand, I wished Sofia was here with me so we could cradle our little baby together. Mariella asked to come with me but I refused, I still hadn't come to terms with the situation and I didn't want to create more distance between us. I was brought back from my train of thought when one of the nurses gently placed my baby girl in my arm. I smiled appreciatively at the nurse and held my baby protectively. She squirmed in my arm and open her eyes as she stared at me. I was blessed with the sight when I stay
MATTEO POV~SOFIA!!My eyes widened in shock as I screamed out her name. He had shot her at her side and she was bleeding profusely.Sofia's hand grasped her side as she stared at her bloody hands in awe. She screeched in pain, shuting her eyes before falling to the ground but Santi caught her in time.My head whipped swiftly in Dimitri's direction as I shot him thrice. He was caught off guard as he was watching Sofia so he didn't expect me to shoot him.I shot him in his shoulder, thigh and side.... He fell to the ground and he was immediately unconscious.I rushed to Sofia and I was grateful that she was still conscious but the look and sweat dripping from her face told how much pain she was in."Santi prepara subito la fottuta macchina!!"{Santi get the fucking car ready now!!}Sofia was starting to loose consciousness and I didn't know what to do because she was in so much pain and she was loosing lots of bloodPer favore Sofia resta con me.... cazzo!! {Please Sofia stay with me.
