Nick's POV
Jealous ? She thought I was jealous ? Huh.
And she was right.
No she wasn't. I don't give a shit but that doesn't mean she can bloody flirt with another man in front of my parents. But can't really blame her , a gold digger like her can't be better than this.
But what I don't understand, is that why the hell did I kiss her ? I was pouring all my frustrations and anger in that kiss but why ? I must admit that her lips tasted sweet, it was like there was a certain sensation in me. I was feeling connected -
"Bullshit ! It had a been long since I had got laid." I shook away these thoughts.
Sophia's POV
I had cried myself to sleep last night. It was around 7 in the morning when I woke up.
Doing my morning routine I first decided on making breakfast since it was my first day with Ethan.
Coming to the kitchen , the maids helped me to find the required ingredients and I made choco chip pancakes and strawberry smoothie.
I went to my room and changed into my work clothes. When I came back to the dinning table , Nick and Ethan were sitting on the table and having the pancakes. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
" Mmm this is so tasty and...different ." Ethan said looking at the pancakes.
" Did you like it ?" , I asked sitting down beside him.
" You made it ?" He asked and I could feel Nick looking at me. I nodded .
" I love it . It's the best I have ever had ." Ethan said and I kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you li'l guy."
Nick stopped eating mid way. Pushing away the plate , he got up and suddenly left without even looking back.
Was his ego so big that he had to push away his food? I shook my head at his maturity.
" Was Dad angry on me ?" , Ethan asked looking sad.
" No baby, he can't be angry on you." , I assured him. " Now come on , I will take you to your school."
" Yes let's go." He said , his smile returning and it was good to see him happy again.
.....
" Bye Ethan , be a nice kid , okay ?" , I asked coming out of the cab.
He nodded. " Bye Sophia " , he waved and ran off.
" Don't run ." I yelled after him but he was already gone.
I got back in the cab and went to my new office.
...
I entered the same overly luxurious building.
Again everyone stopped to look at me. Some even wished me good morning on my way while some women were giving nasty glares. Ignoring them I went to the marketing department which was on the
20th floor .
......
My first day was pretty nice. Some of them were nice to me and some overdid it because I was their boss's wife. I had made some new friends.
Skyler had been working here for three years and she and Tyler are a couple. She is a bit reserved and quiet in contrast to Tyler who is overly energetic and lively. Nonetheless, I liked their company.
Jenny is a sliver head and is extremely outgoing in nature and finally there was Mark , a good-looking fun guy.
We bonded pretty well over lunch at the office canteen.
The day passed smoothly for me and it was around 5 when I left the office. I hadn't seen or heard from Nick throughout the day but then , he was clear when he showed disinterest in me.
I tried not to let these thoughts dampen my mood.
On reaching home , I didn't see Ethan anywhere. So I first went to change and then walked to his room. He was sitting on his bed , lost in his thoughts.
"Ethan ?" , On looking at me a bright smile came on his face only to disappear the very next moment.
" What's troubling you baby?" , I cooed as I sat beside him.
He didn't say anything but kept fiddling with his fingers while I waited for him .
" Uhh I had a small fight with Joshua at school today and our teacher has asked to bring our parents tomorrow." He said and I knew there was more to the story.
" Why did you fight ? You know nah , good boys don't fight." , I said.
" But brave men do ." He said proudly but I found his expression amusing.
" So , my brave li'l man, can I know what was the fight about? "
He looked down and hesitated.
" He was saying that I am a very bad kid and therefore I didn't have my Mom with me." He looked very sad which broke my heart.
" I -I ..." He hesitated again.
"Go on ." I urged him .
" I - I told them that I have a mom and said your name but he said that I was lying and that you were not my mom. I am .. I am sorry." He said.
I could realise where this was leading to and I would be lying if I was not hopeful.
" It's okay." I smiled at him.
" Umm , do you mind if I call you Mom? If you do , I won't call you Mom. Sophia is fine too . Please don't be angry on me." He again looked down after his mini rant.
I was hoping this but hearing it from Ethan was made me much more ecstatic than I had ever imagined. I had goosebumps.
I pulled him to my lap and made him look at me.
" Oh baby , you definitely can call me Mom. I would love to be your mother." I said , my eyes were blurry.
He looked shock for a minute and then a thousand watt smile adorned his face.
" I love you Mom." Ethan hugged me.
My heart skipped a beat hearing him call me Mom. I always saddened at the thought that I couldn't be a mother but today he filled that void. I hugged him back.
" I love you too baby ."
"Now come on , let's go and watch a movie , shall we ?" I asked getting up.
" With popcorn ?" , He asked stepping down .
"Sure " , I smiled at him and made our way to the living room.
When I came to the living room I was stopped by what I saw. The sight in front of my eyes completely broke my heart.
