Sophia p.o.v.
Sophia sits in her empty apartment
debating what her next move should be.
Her life she has been building for the last
5 years has all but disappeared. She sits
on her couch wondering how she didn’t
see it unfolding in front of her eyes. Her
engagement to Oliver was what she thought
she always wanted. He was her high school
and college sweetheart, she truly didn’t see
it ending the way it did. Who knew coming
home early due to getting demoted from her
dream job wouldn’t be the worst part of her
day. Sophia busted her ass in school to land
her position at the best magazine in the
south hoping to one day be to head
photographer. Looking
back the signs were all there . Oliver’s
late nights at work, the unexpected work
trips out of town. He had these conventions all of the sudden pop up where he’d be gone for week sometimes two. Had Sophia herself not been
so busy she would have caught on sooner.
Sophia thought she was getting called into
her bosses office to get the promotion
she’s been chasing for the past year.
Sophia has been working night and day to
hopefully become the head
photographer at Georgia’s number one
magazine “ Natural Living “.
Yet when she stepped into the office her
boss Sandra told her not only was she not
getting the promotion she was gonna have
to take a pay cut due to lay-offs.
As Sophia spent the next few hours packing up her
office to move from her big corner
window to a small cubicle she played it over and over in her
head. How the hell did I not only get passed
over I got f*****g demoted. Bad things come in 3’s so what’s next .
Then to come home and find Oliver in their
bed with her boss .Sophia finally snapped on the both of them.
“ What in the f**k is going on here ? You got to be kidding me right in my f*****g bed in my f*****g apartment. With the woman who f*****g took my dream and destroyed it?”
As little as Sophia and Oliver saw each other she remembers complaining to him on occasion about the s**t Sandra was putting her through. He would always come up with some excuse .
“ Oh I’m sure it’s not that bad, I’m sure your just stressed she seems like a nice lady.”
All the while he was f*****g her, and not just that from what Sophia saw when she walked in . Oliver was tied down to the bed and had a gag-ball in his mouth. Sandra was wearing some leather contraption.
In the 7 years that they were together they never did anything besides missionary. Not that Sophia wanted to try that s**t but she did try to spice it up little.
Already pissed at Sandra for toying with her these past few months. Threatening her with “ Oh you have to work this weekend or you could lose the position.” Asking me to redo a shoot several times over because she wasn’t feeling it. All the while f*****g my fiancé .
You’d think that would hurt me more. Yet it doesn’t s*x with Oliver was nothing special. I hope that’s not how it will be with the next guy. I’ve only been with Oliver I have nothing to base it off of. So I didn’t know any better but if that’s what Sandra likes good for her. So now I’m out a fiancé,
out a job and at the end of the month
Im gonna be out of an apartment. No way am I staying here after what I saw. If Oliver wants it he can keep the apartment.
Sophia gets up off the couch throws the
engagement photo and the ring she was holding in the
trash and starts to pack a bag. I need to just
go home she thought. I don’t want to be
here another second. I’ll come back with
Jordan and grab my stuff this weekend. I’ll stay with him until I figure out the mess that is my life. He’s
gonna love this he hated Oliver, always
thought he wasn’t good enough for his
little sister. The joy he will get when he
finds out he was right. I just don’t have it
in me to call him now and tell him. I’ll just go
home crash in his guesthouse and find him
first thing in the morning and let it all out.
Nothing like going home with your tail
between your legs in defeat. The one thing I truly love about my family is they won’t judge me or make me feel bad. Yes Jordan will be happy but he won’t gloat to my face at least.
To think I thought Oliver was just this boring man who wasn’t interested in s*x but that’s not the case he just wasn’t interested in it with me.
If that’s the stuff he is really into then by all means feel free. It’s time to start over, I just can’t be here anymore not after that.
Oliver p.o.v
Sandra climbs off of me with a huge smile on her face. While Sophia is standing the the door way screaming. I nod for Sandra to untie me and she finally does.
“ Sophia please wait, please let me explain” I’m begging her to let me explain myself.
I look over at Sandra and she is now laughing while she puts her dress on over top of her leather outfit. Sophia hits the door frame and is yelling for Sandra to get the f**k out of her house. Then she walks into the living room.
“ Sandra you set me up what in the f**k is wrong with you? Do you know what you just did?” I’m now the one yelling, I’m sure loud enough for Sophia to hear.
Her only response is “ I told you that you should have chosen to marry me instead. Now you get neither of us, this wasn’t about hurting her but you.
It’s sad actually she is a great photographer you were right about that,oh well.” That woman is such a b***h I should have listened to my dad when he said to find another girl. There was a reason her and my uncle weren’t together when he died.
I rush to put my clothes on and head out to the living room. Sophia has finally stopped yelling as she slams the door behind Sandra.
“ I don’t want to hear any excuses Oliver I just want you the f**k out of my apartment now. After the day I’ve had I can’t even look at your face just go now ! “ Sophia is so mad she won’t even let me get a word out.
I grab my shoes, keys and wallet then head to the door. I’ll come back later tonight or tomorrow to try and talk to her once she’s had time to think.
I get I f****d up letting her find out about Sandra I shouldn’t have used our f*****g apartment. She won’t throw away 7 years over this. She would be lost without me and she knows it.
