"So,what made you want to apologize to me?" Sophia asked
"Well,for one I learned that a man should never talk to a female like that.And like I said,I felt really bad"
"Oh,well that reason is way better than the other men's reasons when they apologize"
Jacob raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is the only reason they treat me in a rude way is because I decline them when they ask me something sexual"
"Wow,are you serious?"
Sophia nodded her head. "It happens every time.It's like they don't want to get to know me or anything"
"Wow,If I was there when that mess happened.I would be kicking somebody ass"
"You would really do that?"
"Yea,it's called respect.I was raised in a house filled with mostly females.My mom and my three older sisters"
"Hmm,that's funny because what you said back at your job was nowhere near respect.I bet if your mom and three older sisters found out,they would have kicked your ass."
"Trust me,they would have done worse than that or maybe even after that"
"Really?" Sophia asked "Like what?"
"Well,they would throw my things out of the house,lock me out,and change the locks so I won't get back in"
"Wow"
"Oh,and they would turn the sprinklers on too,so my stuff would get all wet"
"Damn they don't play!" Sophia said as she started to laugh. "And you would have definitely deserved it,too"
"Yea,I can't argue with that" Jacob said as he chuckles. "So,what about you and your family? "
"My mom is in Jamaica and I'm the oldest sister"
"How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
"I have one little sister and she's living with my mom in Jamaica"
"Do you have a father in your life?"
"Yea,he's in Jamaica with my mom and younger sister.They're getting remarried in a few months"
"Oh,nice and that's a nice place to have a wedding at"
"Yes,it is" Sophia said giving him a friendly smile as he smiles back.
"What about you? Do you have a father?" Sophia asked
"Sadly no,my father left my mother for an drug addict when I was young"
"Wow,I'm so sorry to hear that"
"It's cool,she died in a car accident while snorting up some crazy drugs in the passenger seat"
"Oh my lord! Is your father okay?"
"My father wasn't there when it happened"
"So,the drug addict was the only one that was in the car accident?"
"Yep"
"Did you like her being with your father?"
"Not really but I never disrespected her even though in reality I never had any respect for her"
"That makes sense"
"I guess so" Jacob said as he slaps on the bar counter. "Can we have some drinks over here?"
The bartender nods and holds his finger up as he continues to write down the other couple's order.
"Do you still want that drink or you good?"
"I guess I'll get that drink.I'll have one glass of mixed Vodka"
"Just one? Are you sure about that?"
"Yes,because this is your money"
"Psh! You can get more than one drink if you want to"
"Then how am I supposed to get home if I'm gonna get more than one drink?" Sophia asked
"I'm pretty sure that your best friend is sobber enough to take the both of you home"
"Think again,amigo"
Sophia pointed to the dance floor to the left as Jacob followed her finger direction that it's pointing at.Jacob sees Sophia's best friend Jennifer dancing on the dance floor with a huge glass of mixed alcohol. Looking like a complete fool but enjoying every minute that she having with herself trying not to fall or spill her drink on anybody.
"Okay,so maybe just one wouldn't hurt or two"
"Just a couple of drinks and that's it" Sophia said
"I promise and if I'm lying then may the Lord punish me for it.I wouldn't lie to you and I'm not going to start either"
Sophia crossed her arms. "Okay,but don't give me anymore if I ask for more"
Jacob smiles. "You have my word"
A Male bartender walks to Jacob and Sophia but this time it's a different one. Which was a big relief for Sophia because she didn't want to deal with him again unless Jennifer is with her
"What can I get you two?" He asked
"I'll have straight Vodka,no ice"
The male bartender nods and writes down Jacob's order. "And for the lady?"
"I'll have mixed rum with vodka"
"Okay,so that's one straight up vodka with no ice and one mixed rum with vodka" he said as he writes down Sophia's order. "I'll be back with y'all drinks"
"So,tell me about yourself"
"Oh,now you wanna get to know me? After all of that judgmental stuff you said at your job" Sophia said laughing a little
Jacob chuckles. "I did apologize to you,didn't I?"
"Yes,you did apologized to me but--"
Jacob raised his eyebrow. "But?"
"You still gotta deal with my crazy best friend"
"Nah,I said that I wanted to get to know you not your crazy best friend"
Sophia rolled her eyes. "Either you like it or not you'll still have to deal with her sooner or later"
"I'm pretty sure that I do but you look good in that outfit by the way"
"You're just saying that because you're drunk"
"Our drinks haven't came yet,so no I'm not"
"I'm pretty sure that you had a few drinks before you came to me"
"I did but I'm not drunk"
"Then you're tipsy?"
"Damn,I can't compliment you?"
"I didn't say that"
"But you're shooting my compliment down like I'm trying to have sex with you or something"
Sophia sighed and looked away from Jacob as the male bartender comes back with their drinks as he placed it in front of them and leaves.
"I just didn't want to play easy to get"
"What do you mean?"
"Because when men go to a night club and sees a woman he thinks that looks good.He goes to her and compliments her and then he flirts with her so she can get soft and falls for the trap"
"What trap?"
"You really gotta get out more often"
"I do--" Jacob paused as he looks at Sophia knowing that she's not believing him. "Sometimes"
"Exactly but what I mean by that is that he'll just wait to see if she'll fall for what he says to her"
"But I wasn't trying to do that to you"
"Good because I'm not easy to trick"
"I bet because you look too smart to fall for something like that"
"Thank you" Sophia said smiling
"You're welcome"
Sophia grabbed her cup and took a couple sips from her drink and placed it back on the table as Jacob stares at her.
"What?" Sophia asked trying not to blush
"Nothing it's just that you're really pretty"
"Thank you,that's really sweet of you,Jacob"
"I'm just being honest"
"Like you said last time" Sophia said mumbling
Jacob sighs. "You're making me feel terrible over here"
"Good! That means my plan is working" Sophia said winking at him
Jacob starts to laugh. "You're cold for that" he said as Sophia sticks her tongue out at him. "But I low-key like that" he said as Sophia smirked at him and continued to sip on drink.
{3 AM} "Wow,I never knew that some women would treat you that type of way" Sophia said buzzed "Yea,each and every one of them used me for my house,for my car,and my money.And I hated myself for letting that happen to me but all I wanted was love" "I'm so sorry to hear that,Jacob,don't beat yourself up for that because you deserve better" "Yea,I know that I do now" "Were they big boned,skinny,thick,or thin?" "All of the above" "Is that the reason
Sophia's POV Sometimes I wonder to myself if the things Jacob said and the things that we did at the club was real or not.Or if it was only the alcohol that made all that stuff happened.Did he really meant what he said to me? Or was it just lust? What if it was just a silly ole dare that his friend told him to do? Ugh! I need to stop thinking negative and start thinking positive.He said that he's been raised in a house filled with females ,so I'm pretty sure that last night wasn't a joke and he meant what he said.I mean I'm not that into him but I do think that he can actually be a good guy after all.But if not then I owe Jennifer a huge apology for not listening to her. {Sophia's house/9 AM} Jennifer hums and sings along to Maroon 5 "Sugar
Jacob sits on a chair at the dinning room table holding a big bag of ice on his head as Sophia sits across from him with an very apologetic look on her face. "Stop it,Sophia" "What? I can't help but feel bad for what I did to you" Sophia said pouting. "I told you it's okay,I'm fine" "I know but I still feel about it" "Well,don't because I'm okay and still living" "Okay,but I have a question to ask" "What's your question?" &nbs
Jacob's POV To be honest,I would never have thought that Sophia and her best friend Jennifer would be fun and entertaining more than my male friends.They're really cool,and they're really nice,too....Well,Sophia is the really nice one but Jennifer? She can get friendly if you're not on her bad side.But ever since I've been hanging out with them,she's been kind to me.So,I guess I'm no longer on her bad side anymore like I was when I first met them at my job.There's something about Sophia though like every time I'm with her,I feel all happy or I'll have that feeling when I look at her in a special way like she's my close best friend already and I ended up falling for her.How she looks at me makes my heart jump for joy and I get butterflies in my stomach.How she treats me ,how she speaks to me,when it's my turn to talk she does this look that makes her beautiful eyes look so gorgeous and I can't help but star
{Sophia's house}"Okay,girl,spill it" Jennifer said asSophia sighs and looks up at her best friend who's standing over Sophia with her arms crossed."Okay,fine!" Sophia said. "I think I'm growing feelings for Jacob" she mumbled"Excuse me? I'm sorry,I couldn't hear you.Say that again,please""Ugh,fine! I said that I think that I'm growing feelings for Jacob""Ha! I knew it! My cousin now owe me twenty dollars"Sophia looks at Jennifer and raised her eyebrow at her best friend as she leans back on her couch.
{Jacob's job/11:20 PM}Jacob stands outside looking from left to right in the parking lot waiting and hoping that Sophia's car appears soon before it gets more late.Aaron watches Jacob as he sighs,gets out of the car and started to walk towards Jacob with an Arizona fruit punch in his hand."So,when did she said that she was coming to pick you up?" Aaron asked"I got a text from her that they're on their way right now""And how long ago was that?""Like twenty minutes ago""Maybe there's a traffic going on or something"
Sophia's POVI can't believe it...It can't be real...I told him that I was going to be there in a few minutes and as soon as I arrived at his job after dealing with traffic he was gone.Did something bad happened? Did he decided to walk home? No,he lives too far from his job to walk home.He probably took a bus home but if he was planning to take the bus home he would have told me,so I wouldn't have to waste gas.Then where could he be? The store is closed and locked with chains.His friend couldn't have took him home because he had to do something for his wife.Maybe one of his other coworkers must have given him a ride home...hopefully.I just pray that I didn't took too long for something bad happen to him.I'll never forgive myself if something bad happened to him while he was waiting for me.{Sophia's house/7:30 AM}
{Aaron's house/Superbowl Party}"Now,remind me why did Jacob told you to bring me here? I don't even like football""But you do love buffalo wings and french fries along with a nice cold drink"Jennifer raises her eyebrow. "No chips and dip?"Sophia sighs. "Your love for chips and dip" she said giggling. "I heard that it's down the hall on your left""Thank God! Because I'm starving.I don't know if I can wait on buffalo wings any longer""It's already cooked and prepared.You don't smell the buffalo or the seasoning of the fries that's been cooked and hal
