Falling for the hitman

Comforting Sophia

Lee p.o.v.

After getting dressed in the hall I meet Jordan in the living room. I might as well get the awkwardness out of the way now. “Hey man if you wanted to get me a gift I don’t think it should be little Sophia” I say with a chuckle.

Luckily that broke the tension, Jordan came over to me and handed me a cup of coffee.

“Sorry man, I didn’t know she was here until her dumb-ass I’m assuming now ex-fiancé called and woke me up.” Jordan went on to explain everything Oliver relayed to him this morning.

What a tool, like Jordan I never liked Oliver for Sophia. I didn’t even know they were engaged. I lost touch with everyone but Jordan. The birthday and Christmas cards with Mr. and Mrs. Hill but not much else .

Now I feel like an ass for what just happened and what would have most definitely followed 5 min ago in my room if Jordan wouldn’t have come in. Sophia is here like me to escape and I took advantage of her.

I want to kick myself for my comment now, thank god he came in when he did. The last thing either Sophia or I need right now is a tangled mess.

Jordan’s timing is impeccable, I’d feel like a piece of s**t if I slept with his sister in her distressed state. I feel like I owe her a big apology.

Trying to push the image of her out of my mind is gonna be hard . God those noise she was making . The way she couldn’t take her eyes off my body. The feel of her hands running up my chest . f**k I got to stop I don’t have a choice I can’t I just can’t. Just then Sophia walks out of the hallway and runs to Jordan and throws her arms around her big brother.

Sophia p.o.v.

Sounds like Lee is buying some time with Jordan out there. That’s just what I need right now for my big brother to walk in on me half naked and practically f*****g his best friend.

I rush to get dressed but still trying to impress Lee I grab my tightest sundress that shows off my breast really well. Then pause in the hallway when I hear Jordan telling Lee about a conversation he had with Oliver this morning. Why in the hell would he call Jordan, he knows he don’t like him no matter how much I tried to assure him he did. f**k now Lee knows what a loser I am, no way can I get him to finish up what we started .

If Oliver seriously thinks he can get Jordan to convince me to take him back he’s sadly mistaken. I let Jordan finish telling Lee whatever nonsense Oliver told him then I rush out and hug my big brother. I always feel better when I’m around Jordan .

This right here is exactly why I came home, Jordan’s always here for me. For as long as I can remember my older brother has always been my protector. Our parents had me when Jordan was 4 years older . He’s always thought of himself as my knight in shining armor. Which to this day he has always been , there’s never been a moment he hasn’t been there for me. I hated disappointing him as much as our parents.

I really should have listened to him when he said Oliver was a weasel. It would have saved me so much heartbreak. But then again I wouldn’t have had the morning I just had.

The mystery man being Lee makes it even hotter to be honest. I can’t remember the last time Oliver made me feel that way. Nothing we just did has Oliver ever tried and I’m still all weak from it and flustered.

I know that the timing is bad but I’m gonna take the bull by the horns. I need to let this play out and see if it’s the wine from last night or if there is something here.

As I slowly let go of Jordan I walk over to steal Lee’s coffee cup and wink at him and finish it with one gulp. I thank them both then walk back into the bedroom to grab my shoes. Yelling for them to be ready in 5 cause I’m gonna go up to the main house and make breakfast.

I’ve heard the way to a man’s heart is through food. If I wouldn’t have gone to school for photography it would have been culinary school.

Now all I need to do is convince Lee I’m not some loser who is looking for a rebound. Things with Oliver have actually been over for a while. I’ve known it but I thought why chance being alone when I got some who wants to marry me. I thought settling for Oliver would be enough. Wow how wrong I was, after this morning I could never go back to bland . I finally found spice and I like it, I feel alive for the first time in ages.

Lee p.o.v.

As we are about to head up to the main house I get a text from an unknown number.

“There is a new head of the Sorento family, he’s here in the states. Be warned they are looking for you . They want your head for Spain . They thought they took care of you with the motorcycle accident . There is a mole at headquarters . Trust no one, they only know your code name. Give it time and I’m sure they will figure out the rest. “

What in the hell, who is this psycho I tried to call the number and got a dial tone. It’s got to be some kind of joke. The whole company has access to files . Anyone could know about my accident.

See this is why I can’t afford to get caught up in a relationship. I need to make time to get over to the Keller Group sooner rather than later.

As much as I enjoyed this morning with Sophia it’s never happening again . First she is Jordan’s sister, second my job . f*****g hell, I can’t put any of the Hill family at risk.
