Noah's POV
I feel like it has been a million years since I last saw her. I'm seeing Sofia for the first time in more than a year and I wished the circumstances were different but it's not.
I gave her what she wanted, stayed away and went to college outside the country like I wanted even though my plans changed when I found her.I had pictured seeing her again a million times in my head but I never expected it to be this way.Her Grandfather just died and I knew I had to be here, if not for her, for me also because I also knew and loved him.I drove with my sister and father to the funeral in Malibu.I have been in shambles the whole drive, wondering what will happen if I see Sofia. What if she doesn't want me there, I questioned myself over and over again.Finally I see her, I'm standin
Sofia's POVCollege.Harvard University, Boston.It's Friday night, which means Jake and his friends are throwing a party. I have only been to twice, which doesn't excuse that fact that Jake bugs me to go every single week which I politely decline every week.My phone rings immediately I get into my dorm room."Sofi! Get ready, you're coming today." Jake says through the phone."Jake, you know I love you but I'm just not interested and honestly I'm tired, I just want to take a shower and get into bed." I say faking a yawn."C'mon Sofi, you have been like this for months. You have to move on, you shouldn't dwell on the past." Jake says.He sounds mad and a little worried and I get it, he cares about me and just wants me to get back to my normal self
Sofia's POVEarly the next morning. Jake meets me outside my dorm with coffee, the weather is cold but decide to take a walk anyway. We have a lot to talk about so."Are you mad at me?" Jake's wounded tone has me glancing over in surprise."Of course not, I just think we have alot to talk about." I say."I meant everything I said last night Sofi, I'm into you. I want us, not just as friends but I also want to kiss you and stuff." Jake says watching me take in his words."There are so many things stopping us." I say avoiding his eyes."I don't think there is, we're both single."Jake says."Yeah but I dated Zack, your best friend and you dated Paula one of my close friends." I say.Mentioning Paula didn't actually matter, it's not like I'm still friends with her. After Jake and her broke up during prom, her and Jasmine completely
Sofia's POVTragedy.My first year in college, during summer break I lost my grandfather. It was one of the sadness days of my life but I got through it, I had my family, my friends, I had Jake.He helped me through it, but who is going to help me with losing him.It happened 2 months ago but it feels like today. I still remember when I received the call, from Jake's mother telling me to meet them at the hospital."Sofia honey, meet us at the hospital." She said immediately I answered her call."What?" I asked confused."It's Jake honey, he was in an accident." She said sniffing tears."Jake? But he just left here." I said still in shock."I'm on my way," I said ending the call."What's wrong?" My brother asked as I l
Sofia's POVI stood outside Noah's room at the resort. I'd tried to calm myself down on the walk over so that I could present all my points rationally to him, but instead, I'd just gotten more worked up. He is suddenly here after years of no contact and is acting like everything is okay.He sent me flowers today asking me to join him for breakfast tomorrow and yesterday he sent me chocolates and flowers and the day before that he just showed up at my house.I am extremely in a messed up place right, I don't need this, I don't need him here right now.Why was he doing this to me? Part of me wondered if I should be at his door if I should be banging on his door.The door was closed, but I could see the light on beneath the door. I knocked and bounced my hip impatiently while I waited for him to respond."It's open."I turned the knob and stepp
Sofia's POVI was avoiding everyone, especially Noah. I haven't seen him since last night and honestly I wasn't planning on seeing him even though I do want to see him but I keep telling myself I don't.My only goal tonight was to get drunk and finally find my way home and pass out. I was already halfway there, having downed three margaritas. When I noticed Noah at the bar, it was a bar at the resort.He saw me too, he was talking with a few other men, but every time he'd glance in my direction, I felt like we were the only two people in the room which absolutely insane because I feel nothing for him, I'm obviously just sex hangover from last night. Every now he would smile at me and I'd pretend I didn't see him even though my eyes were glued to him.I chose to stop paying attention to him. It ma
Sofia's POVI wake up to the sound of my phone ringing, I look over to Noah's side and he's wide awake just watching me. He slept over last night.My phone starts to ring again and I grab it to see it's my mom calling."Hi mom." I answering the call."Hi sweetie, how are you?" She asks."I'm fine, how are you?""I'm good honey, So your dad and I were thinking of driving over there and we could have lunch together." My mom says excitedly."What? Why?" I ask now getting up to sit down."Well because we miss you and we're worried you're all alone there." She says."Mom, I'm fine and in fact I have a busy day today." I say."Really? Doing what?" She asks totally not believing me."Noah is in town and we're having lunch together." I lie because I honestly didn't want her to come, suddenly all she wants i
Sofia's POVI wake up alone, Noah stayed over last night but he must have left before I woke up. I had just gotten out of the shower when I heard voices outside my bedroom door. I poke my head out to see it's Jasmine and Michael coming up to my bedroom."What are you doing here?" I ask as they join me in my room."Just wanted to come see our friend." Jassy says rolling her eyes as she plops down on my bed."Bel Air is different without you." Micheal says with a groan."Yeah absolutely and I just graduated college I need a job." Jasmine says groaning."Okay let see if I can help." I say. "You can both move to Palm Springs and we could all live together and have so much fun." I add."Yeah does sound like fun but what about the job I need?" Jassy asks."Well I could give you a job at the resort or winery?" I say and
Sofia's POVMy mom was so happy about my trip to New York that she got our 5th Avenue penthouse ready for my friends and me.I actually wanted us to stay at a hotel or something but she insisted. When my parents got back together and remarried, my mom moved back to L.A. I don't even know why we still own the penthouse, it's a 3 floor penthouse with about 7 rooms with an amazing view of the city.When we reached New York and went to the penthouse, she had staffs waiting to cater to our every need. I know she's trying so hard, and it's all because of me and my emotional state. I would actually tell her to back off, I don't need that much babying but I know she wouldn't listen to me plus I'm kind of enjoying being treated like a princess."This place is AMAZING!" Jasmine exclaims looking around."Yeah it's beautiful and this view right here, I d
Sofia’s POV I wait for Noah to leave before I finally come out of our bedroom finding his mother in front of the tv.“So he asked you to babysit me.” She says immediately I join her.“No.” I say shaking my head. “He didn’t, I thought it’ll fun for us to spend the day together.” I add and she stares me like she’s trying to decide if I’m serious or not.“Okay then what do you want to do?” She asks after a bit.“Anything you want to do Mrs Alvarez.” I say and she frowns again.“Please call me Bianca and anything you want us to do is fine.” She says and I nod okay.&l
Sofia's POVThe buzzing of an alarm woke me, and I quickly shuffled around to turn it off before it woke Noah, who slept soundlessly beside me. After finally hitting snooze, I lay back down and stared at the ceiling with his legs still intertwined with mine and a smile on my face exhausted, sleep deprived, but smiling.I do not smile in the morning normally. I'm not a morning person I'm usually groggy."Why are you smiling, baby?" Noah whispered, his voice sleepy and tired.Glancing over at him, I saw his eyes were still closed as he lay on his side, facing me. The room was still dark this early in the morning, with little moonlit morning sky."How did you know I was smiling?""I can feel it."Turning on my side to face him, I ran my thumb across his lashes. "Because I'm happy."He exhaled before the corners of his lips turned up. He was the one who made

We spent the past two whole week settling in, everything has been surreal Noah has been absolutely amazing reminding of all the reasons I fell in love with him in the first place.I still feel guilty sometimes that I'm moving on while Jake isn't here but I'm trying to get past that so that means trying to be happy and being with Noah despite our past makes me happy.Today is my first day going to work at the my grandfather's winery, well now my winery. And also the very exotic resort I now own.I'm meeting with the appointed head of operations of the winery who in charge of running things, he's going to fill in on things."Miss Sofia Sanchez, right this way.

My mom sitting on my dad's lap while they watch tv together. They really are the cutest couple, I love how they love each other so much even though I resent them sometimes for it."Hi."

Sofia's POVNoah and I have spent the whole weekend passed hold up here, in the pool house of his parents house. We haven't been out even for food, we ordered whenever we needed to eat to avoid going out. We have been completely cut off from everything and everyone, in fact both our phones have been off. And I have to say I love being all alone with him, everything feels easy us being alone.We have basically been doing nothing, just watching tv, then making love. Talking about everything but us, I don't think we're ready to talk about us. It's been so long since we have been together like this and I think we're both afraid something will ruin it hence the being alone and not talking about us but enjoying the hell out of each other.We're currently in bed, we just finished watching avengers endgame for the
Sofia’s POVAt exactly 1 in the afternoon I was at Noah’s parents house to pick him up. The house was just a block away from the old house so it was easy to find. I text him that I’m here and he says to come in, I go through the back because he said to meet him by the pool house.And I’m met with a surprise, Noah’s mom making out with the pool boy. Naked.“Oh God, I’m so sorry.” I say turning away.“Sofia.” His mom calls my name trying to find her top and just in time Noah finds us.His face strains as soon as he understands what’s going on.“Oh my God honey, I’m so sorry.” He mom says putting on her top while the pool boy nervously dressed up leaving.“What the hell mom?” Noah says with a frown. “And I thought dad was the problem.” He adds with a frown.“Don’t talk to me like that, I’m your mother.” His mom says with a frown.“Yeah? Well you’re not acting like a
Sofia’s POVOne session with Dr Pinto and I was done with therapy, the woman is a genius. It was a good session, we talked and talked and I think I’m good or getting there.I just needed to talk to someone who knows nothing about me, someone who doesn’t have any expectations, someone that wouldn’t judge about everything.I loved Jake and he loved me, but he’s not here now and I have to keep on living. Not for anyone, but for me.But most of all I feel so guilty for being with Noah, I have always loved him and I still have strong feelings for him. In a way I felt like I was cheating on Jake by being with Noah but I’m not and I’m allowed to move on, I know that.But moving on with Noah also poses so many different feelings from me, I loved him so much and he had hurt me and I have been hurt alot in the past year. I don’t know if I can handle anothe
Noah's POVWhen we get back to New York, I put her to sleep and falls asleep immediately while I think about talking to her tomorrow.She needs help and I don't know how to help her but I would like to try which means talking to her about it. As much as I hate talking, I read somewhere talking usually helps.I barely slept and when she wakes up she finds me sitting by the edge of the bed watching her,Now as then, when Sofia was in the room, the only person I saw was her.Her gaze seemed just as intent to stay locked on mine.Seconds passed like hours. Before either Sofia or I said a word."Hi." She was the one who spoke first because I was a fucking chickenshit, though even through the glass, I could hear a rasp in her voice that said this likely wasn't easy for her either.She knows we're going to have the talk about her.I cleared my throat as if I could clear the scratch

Like a villa beach house huge. It's filled up with people, music blasting through speakers.Immediately we walk in, Michael and Jasmine disperse into the party to go get drinks while Sofia and I make it in and upsta
