CHAPTER 4
Sofia's POV
"Good morning miss Sofia" Sonya said as she served me breakfast."Good morning Sonya, has dad already eaten??" I asked."No miss, he isn't home." she says.My dad is probably with his girlfriend or in the office. Since his divorce with my mom he had dated but nothing serious. I've never met any of his girlfriends, he has never brings them home.After breakfast, I went back upstairs and did some homework. After my homework I watched some of my favorites tv series and texted with my friends. I usually spend my Saturdays with either Zack or my friends but since Michael is having a party later on I stayed home.
It was finally time for the party, well I was already 30 minutes late and Michael was already blowing up my phone. I got dressed in a short black dress, high heels. Pulled my hair in a ponytail, put on some makeup. The chauffeur was taking me, I could probably go by myself but since it's a party it would probably be packed up and besides my dad doesn't want me driving.When I arrived at the party, it was already full. I asked the driver to go back home, I would call him if I needed him. The place was so packed, I looked for Michael, Zack and my other friends downstairs but I couldn't find them but I saw Noah and Haley a girl from school sitting on the couch talking and laughing. I went to the kitchen and saw Michael there, he was talking to some guy."Hey Michael." I said "have you seen Zack." I asked."He's upstairs, in my room," he answered."Okay I'll go look for him." I said.
"I climbed the stairs and went directly to Michaels room calling out Zack's name, I opened the door and entered but I couldn't believe my eyes immediately I entered the room.Zack was inside the room kissing my best friend Jasmine. They heard the door open and they quickly stood up.
"Oh my God Sofia it's not what you think." Jasmine said with a terrified look on her face. What does she even mean, I mean I just witnessed my best friend making out with my boyfriend. Of course it's what I think."Sofia baby I swear it's not what you think," Zack said.I couldn't answer them I just stood there speechless, until I quickly ran out out of the room and went downstairs with tears in my eyes. Jasmine and Zack were both calling my name but I didn't turn back, as I pushed through the crowd. Noah saw me run outside and he followed me.
"Sofia," he called out my name but I didn't answer him. I just wanted to get away from there.
"Are you okay," Noah finally caught up with me and asked. I didn't realize I was crying till he said "why are you crying did something happen up there."I couldn't answer him I just wanted to leave from there, I couldn't believe my boyfriend is cheating on me with my best friend.
"I just want to go home." I said to Noah."Come I'll take you home," he said.We walked to his car, he opened the door for me. I entered and he also entered and drove away from the party."So are you going to tell me what happened," he asked again."I just saw Zack and Jasmine making out," I said in a shaky voice."I'm sorry." I heard Noah say after a pause.
Zack and Jasmine were both blowing up my phone with calls and messages but I ignored. I got tired of my phone ringing so I quickly put it on silent and opened the car compartment between the seat and kept my phone inside.Both of us stayed silent as he drove to my house. We were just few blocks away when he said, I'm sorry Sofia about Zack but you shouldn't beat yourself about it he's kind of a douche bag.I didn't know what came over me or I was just over reacting but I quickly turned to Noah and said. "You know Noah you don't have to feel sorry for me or pretend to be my friend only because I'm crying because I don't need your sympathy and I also know you hate me so don't act like you care."Noah didn't say anything more till we reached my house, he pulled over by the gates I quickly put in the gate codes and ran inside up to my room and closed the door.I cried as I fell into sleep while and I thought about Jasmine and Zack making out.I just couldn't believe it, she has been my best friend since I was 10 years old. When my parents got divorced she helped me get through it and Zack isn't only my boyfriend but also my friend. We're childhood friends infact. It just hurts that they betray my trust like that, I even started to wonder for how long it has been going on.The worst part is that I think I was falling in love with Zack and she knew it.
Noah's POV I have known that Zack is a douche bag since I first met him but I didn't really think he could cheat on Sofia because he's clearly so in love with her. I mean who wouldn't like her, she's beautiful, gorgeous, sexy. I know I haven't been nice to her since we first met she just reminds me of someone and I just don't know why I act like that towards her but the truth is since the first moment I set my eyes on her she had hunted my mind and dreams. I just push her away because I haven't had the best luck with girls like her. I always find myself thinking about those beautiful blue eyes or her beautiful face and body. I hated when I saw her cry, I wanted to go back and punch Zack in the face for making her cry.
I didn't go back to the party after I took her home, I just went back home. She left her cellphone in my car, the truth is I didn't give it back to her because I wanted an excuse to go see her tomorrow.I was excited to see her but I waited till around 12 in the afternoon to go see her. I came downstairs and was about to go when I saw my dad and mom sitting in the living room downstairs."Hey you! Where are you up to?" my dad asked."No where really, Sofia left her phone in my car last night so I'm going over to give it back.""Okay son, so you and Sofia huh? Is something going on between you two," my dad asked with a smile."No dad we're just friends, see you later." I said as I quickly ran out before he could ask me anymore questions.
He has been trying to hook me up with Sofia since we got here. He thinks we would make a great couple together. I don't know why but he really likes Sofia, he never used to show any interest in the girls my brother and I dated.I went to Sofia's house, the gates were open so I entered inside and parked my car. I have been to the house more than once but I can't remember which door I followed to go inside, the house is really huge.
I walked to the back until I saw their house keeper."Good afternoon I'm here to see Sofia.""Sorry but you can't she said she doesn't want any visitors.""No it's okay she knows I'm coming over," I lied."Okay then follow me." We walked inside through the living room, her dad was reading a newspaper when he saw me enter."Hello Noah what a surprise. Are you here with your dad," he asked."No I'm here to see Sofia.""Oh right, she's in her bedroom I haven't seen her all morning. Sonya take him up to her room.""Okay sir," she answered.We went upstairs and walked down the hall till we reached Sofia's room.
Sonya knocked before we entered. She wasn't inside the room. I looked to Sonya and she said miss Sofia is in the closet probably doing some online shopping and organizing she isn't in a good mood so be be cautious when you enter she pointed to the closet door.I went inside, Sofia was sitting down on a stool with her laptop in front of her. She was just in her bra and panties. The closet was huge like a clothing store or something."Hey." I said. She quickly turned and saw me standing by the door."What do you want Noah? If you are here to insult me or call me a spoilt brat I'm not really in the mood," she said as she rolled her eyes.I wasn't really concentrating on what she was saying because she was just in a bra and panties and I was trying my best not to stare at her boobs. She didn't seem to notice she was just in her underwear till she saw me staring at her boobs. I mean who could not, she has the perfect body ever and I was already turned on just by looking at her."Oh God Noah really!!" She said with an embarrassed look on her face when she saw me staring. She quickly put on a silk robe on."Why are you here Noah," she asked again.I moved inside her closet and brought her cellphone from my pocket and gave it to her, "you left it in my car yesterday, you have like a hundred missed calls."
"Okay thanks for bringing it.""It's okay, I'm really sorry about yesterday.""It's okay Noah it's not your fault Zack cheated on me. It's my fault for believing that I was dating the perfect guy not some asshole my friends warned me about including the bitch he cheated on me with.""Are you kidding Sofia, it isn't your fault he cheated. He's just an idiot, no one deserves to be cheated." I said as I moved closer to her."You're just being sympathetic Noah and I told you you don't have to be. I'll probably be okay."I don't know what came over me, I closed the distance between us and moved her hair away from her face. She didn't say anything she just looked at me. Our face was few inches away. She looked at my lips which were dying to kiss her. I bent down kissed her.At first it was just a peck until I pulled her into me and used my tongue to seek entrance into her mouth. She resisted at first until she finally gave in and ran her fingers into my hair. We finally broke the kiss to catch our breath. I was already getting hard just by kissing her. She felt it press against her, she looked down at my boner and quickly moved back a little.
I finally broke the silence. "I'm sorry I say trying to hide my embarrassment.She didn't say anything more she just cut me off by saying "Noah I think you should go now.""Okay" I answered. She had this look on her face that I couldn't understand. It was like the kiss didn't affect her as much as it affected me or maybe she's still hurt because of what happened with Zack.
CHAPTER 5Sofia's POV It was finally Monday morning. I woke up a little early, got dressed in a red top and jeans shorts. I put on some makeup, perfectly winged eyeliner, little lip gloss.
CHAPTER 6Sofia's POVAfter Jasmine left I carried one of the car keys and drove to see Zack. He's probably at home with the guys, we all hang out together all time at his house or mine.
CHAPTER 7Sofia's POV It has been days since my make out session with Noah, I still can't believe it really happened. I can't stop thinking about it, whenever I close my eyes I see him loo
CHAPTER 8Sofia's POV I didn't realize I fell asleep watching game of thrones till I woke up the next morning to find me tucked in my bed. Noah must have tucked me in when I fell asleep. I carry my cellphone checki
CHAPTER 9I text Ryan back, suggesting we have a movie hang out. And he was up for it texting back immediately asking which time to pick me up. I replied back saying 5 so that I can have an hour to get ready.Zack and the guys leave immediately after Paula and Jake finish making up atleast that's what it looks like because they're both smiling.
CHAPTER 10I walk inside with Noah walking behind me, I swear I could feel his eyes on my ass. When we get inside he follows me downstairs to the basement without a word. "So how your date?" He asks when I turn around. "It was good, I had fun."His expression changes for a moment, he looked mad before he composes himself and says "So you're going out with him again?""No" I say."Why? I thought you had fun." "Yeah I did but I'm not ready for a relationship right now and I wouldn't want to lead him on." I

CHAPTER 12The week went on quickly, Noah and I haven't seen or talked to each other alone since the make out session in his car.I saw him only during lunch in school, we only have one class together so we don't see much of each other.He wasn't his usual distance self but we didn't talk, he smiled at me mostly.I was getting frustrated because I thought things were getting good with us but I didn't let it keep me down.I got my early acceptance letter to NYU today. I haven't decided if I'm going there yet, I still h
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.

Lucas lives in New York but he's home for a few days.When I get home, one of the chauffeurs helps me with my lots of shopping bags, taking it upstairs to my room while I look for my parents.I don't actually have to look for them, I find them in the living room. 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." I say walking and my mom gets down from my dads lap when she sees me."Hello princess," my dad says getting up so I give him a hug and a kiss. "How are you?" He asks still holdi
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

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
Noah's POVArthur Connelly and I met in college first day and we became friends in an instant. I'm not a friends kind of guy, I only have few friends. Before we moved to L.A I had a few guys I was cool with back in Miami but since we moved to L.A in senior year high school we kind of lost touch but then I became friends with Sofia and her whole friends group.When we broke up right before graduation I thought that was it with the new friends I made but weirdly I stayed friends with Michael, Zack and even Jake though we hardly spoke when he started dating Sofia.We just arrived at Arthur's party in The Hamptons, his house is huge. 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
