Chapter 4 Go pursue your true love

Joan's POV

It was nearly noon when I returned to my apartment, and the smell of baked breads from a cafe came to me. I could even hear the sound of my starving stomach, but I wasn't in a bit mood of having any of them.

Unlocking the door, I found Fletcher was no returning home yet. Through all night, he must have been fooling around with Karen again! My anger was really hard to eliminate. I threw the keys away! Poor keys but only in this way, could I give vent to my anger!

Why was I such angry? Because I still had affection on Fletcher? Of course the answer was NO.Mt feelings to him had gone away, but I hate them, Fletcher and Karen. I took Karen as my family, my friend, but what she gave me was betrayal. Damn it! What’s more, Noah’s behavior made my revenge a comedy show and I was taken an idiot! Even though  I thought taking some photos as evidence of revenge,I ran away immediately with desperation.

I was studying in Harvard University as a master, majoring in Human and Social Relationship.I was good at reading others’ heart. But at last, I was fooled by those shameful ones.What a joke.

There went the bell. It was Sophie.

“I knew you need some sleep, but I just can’t wait.” She brought me a sandwich  and a cup of coffee.  “Your favorite Latte with chocolate chips on top.”

Sophie never let me down, especially on these small preference.Latte with chocolate chips on top was always my favourite,but when I dated Fletcher, he said it smelled stinky like shit. What a shit! But everything was over with him, and he would be the heir of his father’s business and Noah would be his biggest rival.Fine,just let those stinky men go.

“You look down. Why? You are supposed to be satisfied and pleased.” Sophie patted on my butt. “Hot woman like you, I bet no one would ever risk in your hand.”

I tried hard to smile at her. “Thanks, Sophie. I know you love me.”

“I love you, girl? I would marry you if I have desire on women. Jesus!” Sophie locked her eyes on my boobs. “Come on, I need every detail of last night.”

“Gossip girl.” I turned away and fetched her some milk in the refrigerator.

“No way! I need some HOT thing, not a cold one, actually.” She said, half jokingly, and widely opened her eyes, looking directly at the milk in my hand.

“Well, Sophie. You have to believe this, first. I mean. You got to stand still before I tell you the whole things.” I touched my forehead, regretting my absurd decision last night.

“Sounds a little unusual. You never show that face unless something unexpected happened. Wait, did you not wear condom last night?”

“OH GOD! Sophie! Of course yes! I was so protective about myself. It not like that! CUT IT OFF.UGH!” I didn’t want to laugh, but I couldn’t hold to.

“Okay Okay, just forget it. Now tell me.” Sophie came closer, like having some dark deal with me. “ How’s his cock?”

“Holy shit! So great!” Obviously, I meant the sex we had last night.

“Great? How? Like this?” She stretched out her forefingers of both hands to a length.

“NO, Sophie. GOD, please. I was telling you the sex last night, not the length of...”

“If it wasn’t long and thick, then what made you so unforgettable?” Sophie looked so interested. “So now, tell me the details. How many times of your orgasm?”

“Four or five. I don’t remember.” I felt my face burning when talking about what happened last night.

“What a man! I never experienced 5 times of orgasm during one night. Is he a muscled man?”

“Wait, Sophie, what do you want? Are you gonna have sex with him?”

“Just thinking about this.” Sophie never lied to me. “He was your target not your lover, so it will be nice if I have a chance to see how great it is.”

“Sophie, stop.” I prevented her from thinking far away.

“What? Are you falling in love with him, just because of the sex last night?”

“NO.” Honestly, I hesitated for at least 10 seconds, recalling Noah’s face—  handsome and masculine. Suddenly, a note came in my mind.

“Sophie, listen to me. You need to know the truth.”

“What? Such serious. You’ve definitely fallen in love with him. I read it from your eyes.”

“You know him.”

“Who?”

“Fletcher’s little uncle. The guy I had sex with last night.”

“So?”

“He was Noah.”

“Noah? Which Noah?”Sophie stopped from some seconds and finally woke up from a deep thinking. “You mean the Noah?”

I nodded.

Sophie didn’t buy it. She kept asking for the second time. “You mean the Noah I introduced to you in the bar?”

“Pretty sure!”

“Oh God! He was a real man! You won so much!”

“I won? I don’t think so. The guy knew my full name, which meant he must have known what Fletcher had done to me.”

“Hold on, Joan. What’s your point of this conclusion? I introduced you two in the bar. Don’t you forget that. Oh my god...” Sophie covered her mouth to show how surprised she was. “How didn’t I notice that! Fletcher, Fletcher Hugo! I didn’t recognize they share the same family name. I was so stupid.”

“What’s in your mind, Sophie?”

“Noah was perfect, Joan. Don’t miss the ball.”

“No.” I rejected. “I don’t deserve HUGO family.”

Sophie apparently didn’t approve that. “Listen, Joan. Your are perfect. And I think you two were perfect to each other. Just walk out from Fletcher, the loser, and go to Noah, the winner. Trust me, You deserve him.”

“But Sophie, I ....”

“SHH. I need time to digest this information. 5 times of orgasm and the Hugo family! My head is so much full now. Just get some sleep. I’ll catch you later.” Sophie hurried out like she always did.

I closed the door, took a big bath and relaxed in the sofa. Music came from the stereo, which was connected my phone with the Bluetooth. My favorite classic violin tune flowing slowly from the stereo, whose name was The Moonlight Lovers. At this point, a message beep sounded on the stereo. Someone friended me on F******k. When I clicked on my phone, Noah's message was lying on the list.

「Just give me one more chance.」

My finger froze. To be true, I didn’t know if I would give him a second chance, or if I would give myself a whole new chance. Sophie reminded me that Noah might know my name in the bar from her introduction.

There came another message.

「I won’t let you down.」

Without hesitation, I clicked the “agree” button.

「What do you want, Hugo?」I really wondered why he did such to me.

「YOU.」He simply answered.
