She stays!!!

Chapter 1

".....How???, how did I end up so helpless like this?"...the thoughts raced through Sophia's mind as she backed away further into the hallway, cold sweat breaking on her forehead with her purse clenched in her hands.

"I..I said I'm leaving" she stuttered backing further away as the figure in front of her kept shortening their distance. Who was she kidding, she had nowhere to go and who to help her out.The only person capable of that was the person standing in front of her, a very crazy man at that. She gulped.

"Oh sweetheart,No" Chris smiled devilishly as he stopped in his tracks "You're not going anywhere,You Stay!!!".

********************2 months ago***********************

"OMG OMG OMG" Louisa screamed as she bounced on her knees in Sophia's bed " This is it,this is really it" She clapped her hands and laughed like a witch.

"Oh please Louisa calm down" Sophia laughed as she folded a tank top way too neatly"we don't know anything for sure"

"Noooo" she disagreed " we know,this is to propose"

Sophia nodded " well I'd say I feel like he's gonna pop the question so..."

"Great" Louisa squealed as she grabbed her hand which held a sweater in it and wiggled it around and let out a high pitch scream

"Calm down Lou" Sophia laughed heartily and snatched her hand away to keep packing her luggage

"Noooo" Louisa couldn't stop "you know we could plan our weddings together right?" she hopped more on the bed " and oh oh,guess who called me yesterday?..Jake...hahahaha........"

Sophia's mind slowly drifted away as she watched her best friend ramble on and on.Things were working out,she's finally going to get proposed to and her best friend will be her maid of honour.

Louisa and Sophia have been friends for 7 years already and nothing could be stronger than their bond. They were college roommates and different majors and somehow grew so inseparable.Louisa got engaged to her boyfriend a week ago and was too pumped to hear her best friend was going on a vacation for the first time with her boyfriend of 6 years and couldn't stop assuming he was going to propose. Even better, her dad who was very rich said he'd sponsor her wedding anytime she's getting married, things would be easier for Mark.

Sophia on the other hand was even more certain.She and Mark were college sweethearts and she loved him so much. She'd dreamt of the perfect love as a teenager and now she was 26 and was living in it. Mark was sweet and charming, cared so much about her and just 4 months ago he asked her to move in with him. To her this was a huge step for them and she felt this vacation was going to be the seal on top.

"of course he's planning to propose" She'd thought to herself several times a day since he told her about the vacation. This has not happened before and they'd been together for 6 years already, they know everything about each other so why not?

It was a small resort in a small town in Florida ,she loved extravagant things because of course,she was so spoiled and had everything she ever wanted and always asked for. She would have wanted to be in Hawaii or someplace else but she thought it was because his family also stayed in Florida? Maybe he wanted to propose in front of his family?.The thought of it made her slightly blush to herself.

Although Sophia hadn't really meet his family yet, she met his twin sister 3 years back when she came for a wedding in their city. Courtney, Mark's twin sister didn't seem to like her very much ,that's what she thought anyway. She never had a chance to meet his other family members because they lived hours away , she personally didn't have a problem of going that far, but Mark did not like that idea at all, but now she's finally going to meet them. It got her extra excited.

They were to leave the next day, Sophia had been packing and unpacking since a week ago when he told her and now finally,for the last time ,she would be packing for real. The flight was in 12 hours and she was way more than ready to leave, she'd literally been dreaming of this all week.

"Sooo this is me" Sophia turned to take her luggage from Louisa who pouted her lips and jumped in for a hug. "I'll miss you"

"Goodluck baby" she leaned back "and don't cry when it happens, you know you're ugly when you do that" Louisa quickly jerked off her knowing what was coming next

"I'd hit you for real when I get back" Sophia laughed " but sure,I know how ugly I look when I cry why would I even do that to myself?"

The two erupted in laughter and hugged again, tightly this time

"I'll be back" Sophia said pulling away from Louisa and walking off to meet Mark, who gave a smile and waved to Louisa before he held Sophia's hand ,both walking off to boared the plane.

"shall we?" Mark asked as he smiled and looked down at her.

Sophia squealed happily and nodded her head yes. They boarded the plane after 2 hours , apparently there was a delay and that seemed like a bad feeling for Sophia.

"No no no no bad thoughts" she said to herself and cleaned her sweaty palms on her dress, then looked at Mark who'd brought out an iPad to work, Mark was an architect and had planned to work a little on the flight. Though she was hoping to chit chat a little and enjoy the time on the plane but he has to work right?

"Might as well do some work too" she laughed nervously and he grinned at her, somehow something didn't seem right but she felt she was just really nervous.

Sophia who's a fashion designer, pulled out her pink iPad and started to sketch, she already started work on Louisa's wedding dress and then slowly thought about how her own dress will be. She quickly went to a new sheet and began a rough sketch of the wedding dress she'd always dreamed of, smiling to herself as she drew.

There was little turbulence and Sophia realised she's fallen asleep ,on Mark's shoulder. She moved a bit, readjusting her head to be more comfortable and her eyes fluttered shut but not until she realised she saw something. Her eyelids flew open immediately. she squinted her eyes to the side and could see Mark's iPad a little bit clearly.

"De royal hotel?" she read , it looked so exquisite

"was it for them??, they were going to stay at a five start hotel?"

Her eyes followed every detail carefully, It was so beautiful,she really loved flashy things and she was relieved Mark new what she liked. So it wasn't a small resort after all.

Mark flew through the pages quickly and then exited and went back to his architectural drawings. Sophia was apparently too happy to keep sleeping and then sat up and faked a yawn

" Oh you sleepy head" Mark patted her head playfully and she giggled.

The ride to the hotel seemed uneding as Sophia was really tired from the 6 hour flight, she couldn't wait to sleep, her eyes were so tired and she knew her happiness also exhausted her this much.

"Sophia?" Mark tapped her gently to get her attention

"hmm?" She looked up and him

" We'll have to stop for the night, we'll go to the hotel in the morning,it's almost midnight" he said as he leaned forward to talk to the cab driver. "please take us to the closest Inn"

Sophia sat up confused, we don't need to stop do we?.the road wasn't completely empty with cars ,it was pitch black but she still felt it was safe

"Babe I'm sure the hotel isn't that far away" she tugged on his shirt "the driver can just take us there"

"you need to sleep Sophia, you look so tired" he responded

" we're here" the driver said as he pulled into the driveway of a motel looking environment.

"Thank you sir" Mark said as he proceeded to get out of the car, holding her hand he pulled her out of the car with him.

Sophia stood outside, it was so cold and the motel didn't even look like it had electricity. She didn't feel good, something felt off,why can't they just go to the hotel, she's day dreamed about it all through the flight. She looked over at Mark who seemed to have just paid the driver and watched the cab driver out.

Sophia was pissed but also so tired and felt maybe it was a good idea they relaxed here for the night. They paid for a room and it wasn't all so bad, old but not bad,it's just for tonight.
