2021-06-12 22:39:01Sofia typed on her computer and then sent a file to the printer before looking at Audriana who was on her phone.
"Did you call him after receiving the message?" she asked.
Audriana looked up from her phone "Yes, I did" she put her phone in her bag.
"He sounded worried?"
"Surprisingly, no. He sounded rather calm but the urgency in his message got me worried"
"So, we're headed to your parents after I'm done here?" Audriana nods in response "Well then, I hope my proposal doesn't get rejected because I worked my butt trying to make it more presentable and better than the one I sent earlier"
"What did the counselor say about the previous letter you sent to him?"
In the best gruff voice Sofia could muster, she said "I will not waste my time reading a five-year-old written letter about an excursion to a place that makes no sense or adds any value," she mimicked then scrunched up her face so bad, you'd think she was bathed with acid.
Audriana bursts out laughing as she slams the table.
Sofia had a bored look on her face when she took the printed letter and read through it. A smile crept to her face when she was done reading, she handed the letter to Audriana who read through it too.
"Don't let anyone tell you that your passion is whack" Audriana put the letter on the table "I know how much you love Archeology and you know that I will always support you even if the world won't?"
Sofia grinned and then wiped an invincible tear.
"You're going to make me cry with your sweet words"
Audriana laughed.
"When someone is passionless, the passionate ones are a threat to them" Sofia grinned when Audriana whispered that to her. "Just keep at this, and maybe, just maybe when I have enough to fund a trip to the place you want to take your students, we could all have all the fun in the world as we want to," she winked.
"And everyone wonders why I can't leave you. You're my bestie"
"You're my love" Audriana blew her a kiss and she dodged it.
"I will finish up here so that we can get going," she said then went back to her work and Audriana continued typing on her phone.
A few minutes passed and it was almost 5 pm. Sofia stretched and then stood on her feet to stretch some more.
"If I don't stop now, we will not leave here on time" Aduriana looked at then stretched a bit.
"Meet me downstairs," she grabbed the key on the table and then left the office.
When she got downstairs, she saw Philp coming out of the restroom that was on the ground floor.
"Hi there" he greets and she smiles in return.
"Going home already?" she asked and he nodded. "See you later Philip"
He made a peace sign and then took the stairs to his office floor.
Audriana continued to where Sofia parked her car which was outside the campus and on the other side of the road. She felt her phone vibrate and started to check her purse for it, but she didn't see the car that just turned to the lane she was crossing from and just kept trying to find her phone.
A scream from a familiar voice made her stop, she looked to her right and saw a car stopping just a step away from her. Her heart stopped beating for a second or two, her legs felt like jelly, and her hands were shaking from the realization of what would have been a disaster.
She wanted to move but couldn't find the strength to do so, her throat felt dried and she just stood there rooted on her feet.
The driver came out of his car with an annoyed look on his face. He walked up to her and took off his glasses as he accessed the shock-looking young lady.
He was attracted to her beauty but he couldn't let himself get lost in it because she almost made him kill her had he not stopped his car on time.
He wanted to ask if she was okay but what came out of his mouth was different.
"The least you could do is watch where you're going so that no one has to go to jail for your carelessness," he said with utmost anger.
Audriana was still in a phase of a shock to answer him and just when he was going to say something, Sofia hugged Audriana and started checking if she was okay and nothing happened to her.
"Are you okay? Hope you're not hurt?" she asked but Audriana could barely say anything other than just stare.
"Sofia?" the man said her name and she looked at the black-haired man who stood beside the car with a frown which was replaced by a glare when she recognized him.
"Dimitri," she said his name like it was sour as vinegar. "Did you do anything to my friend?" she asked still angrily glaring at him.
He raised his hands in surrender "She was the one trying to get me to jail with her careless road crossing" he pointed to Audriana.
"Look at you, still selfish and arrogant. It no wonder your fiancee left you" she spat then held Audriana and helped her cross the road.
Dimitri didn't have the chance to retort because she left, he was boiling that she went as low as bringing up his past but could he blame her? People thought of him like that right from the start and there was nothing he could do to change anyone's mind about him.
With a loud grunt, he kicked his car tyre and entered his car, his head felt full of so much anger and he wanted to release it, to let it out and he knew just how to do that. Switching on his car engine, he drove away from the scene taking one last look at Sofia trying to console the crying lady.
Sofia hugged Audriana as she cried on her shoulder.

"There's no need for all this Sof, I already told you that I am fine, I will be good, I promise," Audriana said once Sofia parked close to the hospital for her to be checked. She agreed that she was a bit shaken by what happened minutes ago but she has been trying to explain to Sofia that she was just in a state of shock that's why she couldn't respond then and was okay but her caring best friend begs to differ. "Let's just be sure that things are okay with you before we leave for your parent's place" Sofia sighed "You know how worked up your parents might get just because of this, I don't want them to be worried when they find out what happened today" "They do not have to know" "But you're still shaken up by what happened" Sofia states. Audriana couldn't argue about that because it's true. She still feels shaken up by what happened minutes ago and if Sofia had not come to take her away from that harsh man, he would have kept blaming her and she would have broken down in tears. T

Dimitri sighed when he parked some streets to where he lives. A very strange habit he had grown over the past few years. When asked why, he just looks and shrugs. No definite explanation for doing so. He looked back at the food he bought for him and his friend who was staying over then the encounter he had with the golden-brown-haired lady resurfaced in his mind. If he was going to be true to himself, he mostly was at fault because he had been taking a call from one of his clients who liked to provoke him at any instance he got. He got into a heated argument with the client in question and when he threw his phone at the passenger seat, he realized he was still on the road driving and hadn't been watching where he was going. Then the lady filled his line of vision and he had to press the break on time else it would have been a different story. He had already caused enough drama for his family and this will just make his dad view him as irresponsible over again and again, he doesn't

They were in Audriana's apartment but in the kitchen, cooking pasta and turkey balls for lunch, Audriana handled the pasta while Sofia handled the turkey balls.“I would have changed if not that you had to wait with a threat you will ruin my apartment if I did change, I had no choice but it went okay, it was a perfect romantic date and it been my first made it awesome, the guy is a hopeless romantic.

… Six months later … “Here you go” Sofia handed her a glass of juice and a plate of snacks, she sat on the couch beside her and rubs her really visible bump. “Thank you” she sniffed the snack then scrunch her nose as she looks at Sofia who frowned at what she did. “Did you make this with fish?” she asks. “No?” Audriana’s brow rose and she shrugged “Maybe there was some fish seasoning added but there isn’t much of that inside,” she says. “I am not eating that, I feel disgusted, no offense” Audriana dropped the plate on the table and looks at her friend who was irritated. “Well, for your information lady, my pregnant ass is offended and I am eating them because I am craving them” she took the plate and starts eating from the plate. “I am sorry ma’am, I…” Audriana sighs and placed the glass of juice on the table then turns fully to her friend who gave her full attention “I… I have been so stressed these couple of days” she said. “Oh baby, what’s going on?

“Do you feel okay today?” he asked and she nods then lay back on the bed properly while he packed the plate they just finished eating with. It’s been a few days since that incident and they are slowly accepting what happened and wanted to move on. Dimitri had been shuffling between coming to spend time with her, going to work, and helping to find out what caused the blast that took his baby and nearly took his wife’s life. “I feel okay, I guess,” she said to him then moved a bit so that he can sit properly on her bed “I still feel weak though” she chuckled and he took her hand then kissed her knuckles and palm. “No one is expecting you to jump back on your feet so soon, we are still in the beginning stage of our healing so easy does it” he leaned in and pecked her. “We’ll be good, okay?” he whispered then kissed her cheek and leaned back. “Thanks for being here” “You don’t need to thank me, everything will be good” he nods and she nods too. “Do you need anything else?” “No, I am

It was evening already and he was woken by one of the nurses who told him to step out for a while so that they could check Audriana properly. He sat up on the couch and looked past the nurse to his wife who looked a bit pale and had no smile on her face as she responds to whatever she’s been asked by the doctor that was sitting on the stool beside her with a clipboard in his hand. “Is she okay?” he looked back at the nurse “She has no memory loss?” he asked and the nurse shook her head. “She will be fine sir but please step out for a while,” she tells him and he nods then stood up on his feet and looked back at his wife to see that she was already looking at him then she tore her gaze from him and back to the doctor. For that brief moment that their eyes met, he felt his knees go weak and the urge to cry for what she will come to know of made his heart heavy. He blinked several times and walked out of the room with wobbly legs. When he was outside, he saw only Aiden sitting outsid

Where is she?” he asked looking hopefully at the doctor. “Please be calm Mr. Lorenzo… my name is Chargo Arrivederci, I am the doctor in charge of Mrs. Lorenzo’s case” he introduced himself and held his hand out for a handshake. Reluctantly, Dimitri accepted it and kept asking about his wife. “According to the reports we were told when she was brought in, it was a blast that prompted her to be here, and seeing that she hadn’t been in any way close to where the blast happened, is a good thing” he explained. Dimitri’s face softened and he began to relax from what the doctor was explaining but he still needed to be sure. “So, she’s fine? She’s okay?” “Well, like I said the blast did nothing to her only that when she was brought in, she was bleeding so bad, and when we checked the cause of the bleeding sir… I am so sorry, but we tried our best” he said.

The Billionaire Prick After A While
The past weeks have been really stressful and it’s taking a huge toll on Dimitri. Him following up with his secret investigations to put Daniella Copello behind bars for good this time and him asking himself countless times if he should go get his wife now or not. He has been battling that within him every single day and would sometimes go to Sofia’s apartment building and stay at the angle where her window was to just catch a grasp of her. He had gone there multiple times to the extent that a resident that didn’t recognize him told him that she would report his creepy routine if he came back to creep on the window he looks at every time comes around that area so he stopped going, even a disguise wouldn’t help. So, he got news about her well-being from Aiden frequently and it brought him some sort of peace that she was okay but just trying to cope with their little space as he calls it. It is never a separation, it is just them having space to figure things out. He would be comple

It has been less than twenty-four hours since she left and he was still seated in the same position that he was in from the previous day, only that he was leaning his back on his tie shelf and his long legs were sprawled on the floor. He slept that way and was sure to get an aching back, shoulder, and numb butt if he moves a muscle. How everything just went from smiles and flirting to cries, sadness, and moving out was way beyond him… he caused it this time and he feels ashamed that he couldn’t tell her on time and couldn’t even give her an answer as to whether he loves her or not. He hasn’t fully sorted out Daniella’s feelings yet and coming to a conclusion that he loves her when he hadn’t concluded if he still feels for his ex or not would be too much and would hurt badly. “I’m stupid” he muttered and closed his eyes whilst releasing a sigh.

It was a look of intimate familiarity and that was one of the reasons she felt hurt now she is thinking ‘what if she is just putting too much meaning to what she saw?’ He might actually be irritated by her and her doings but with how she was feeling at the moment, she couldn’t see things that way… he felt like he needed that hug from her when she entered and saw them like that. ‘He didn’t hug her back’ her mind told her but she ignored it and proceed to ask her previous question. “Do you still have feelings for her?” she asked one more time and got her answer when he didn’t answer. She bit her bottom lip to stifle a sob then looked at him with the tears pooling out of her eyes and down her cheeks. “So, you still love her,” she said and he didn’t say anything but just looked at her. They stared into each other eyes with hurt written all over their face. “You don’t need to do this,” he said after a while and she shook her head and then closed her eyes as the tears kept coming down
