Chapter 4
Troy POV
“YOU! WHAT DID YOU DO TO Sonia??!!” Rani snapped which made me confused with her current attitude.
“Me?? Doing what???” I asked confused and didn’t understand at all, Rani chuckled and showed me her annoyed expression.
“You dare mark her while she’s not yet your wife!” Rani accuse me which made me look at her without any guilt at all. Rani knows my habits very well, since breaking up with Atika, I have often been seen dating different women, not infrequently I do One Night Stand with the women I date.
“She does not-“
“I don’t care if he refuses or not, but just watch out if you hurt her you’re not only dealing with me but Mama and Dad too, do you understand, Mr. Arrogant??” Rani looked at me with her horrible look, I nodded with a frightful expression that I made up, apparently Sonia managed to captivate my whole family, just look now everyone is defending her.
I sighed when Rani left me in the dressing room, I remembered my fondling of Sonia, I touched my lips again and then tried to remember her intoxicating scent and her chewy mound that seduced me, she was very seductive, even just thinking about it made me excited. I rushed out of the dressing room before Rani caught me daydreaming, she was like a psychic. She can guess what I’m thinking and it’s really annoying, you seem to have no privacy even in your own thoughts.
When I came out of the dressing room, my eyes fell on Sonia who was currently laughing with Rani, the girl had her own charm in my eyes. She always showed her natural face and her appearance as it was, except for his nervous attitude that she always showed me like I was his first man, but I don’t think it’s possible, considering she’s a famous singer there must be a series of men who have been her boyfriend. Imagining that makes me not willing, just seeing her fans hug and kiss her makes me feel like I want to turn into the Hulk let alone have to see her with another man.
While I was daydreaming, our eyes met and he gave me a beautiful smile before turning his attention back to the magazine that Rani had shown her. I want that smile to be mine forever.
Sonia POV
Florence looked at me with a serious face. Right now, we were in one of the cafeterias which was quite quiet. The woman urged me to talk privately and seriously about my relationship with Troy.
“Ana, marriage is not an experiment, don’t be reckless, you don’t know her let alone love her.” Florence started, I could tell she was holding back her emotions right now, I could feel the aura of real annoyance she was emitting. I can only stare.
“I don’t have the balls to argue, everything was what my parents wanted and this seems to have been planned since I was little, well, before I was even born,” I said honestly and resignedly, Florence chuckling in disapproval.
“Where’s your assertiveness?? Where’s the independent Sonia?? Do you guys love each other??” Florence bombarded me with questions, I shook my head.
“I don’t know, but I didn’t hate him the first time I found out, if he’s my future husband, it’s not like most people would immediately refuse.”
We were silent for a while, then Florence broke the silence between us. My mind is full.
“If one day you start to love him be honest with your own feelings, don’t hurt yourself.” Florence took my hand, I nodded.
“And I hope you don’t experience unrequited love again.”
I also remembered Phillip, you could say he was the first person to make me feeling have boyfriend, but my feelings were not reciprocated. Phillip only thinks of me as his younger brother and he likes another girl. Since then, I became traumatized to start new feelings for other men, I was afraid of being rejected. I put my chin on my palm, I’m still confused about my decision to have a relationship with Troy who will soon enter the stage of marriage.
My cell phone rang, Troy’s name was on the screen, I just stared at my cellphone lying on the table without wanting to answer it, I needed time to think about all of this, finally the phone went silent again.
“Why wasn’t it picked up?” asked Florence, I took a deep breath.
“I need time to think.” That’s all I can say, and it’s true, I need some time to think, I don’t know how much time is left for me before I let everything go according to fate(?) that has been determined for me, I’m not sure.
My phone rang again with the same caller, I decided to turn it into silent mode.
“What if he doesn’t love me?” The question just came out, because right now I was thinking the worst.
“You guys are just getting started, why do you always think of the worst first?”
Shrugging my shoulders. Sometimes it becomes a habit of mine, thinking the worst so I can be prepared if it happens but Florence always raves about it and defies me to always think that way, she says it dampens my optimism, I’m just getting ready instead of wanting to give up.
“Live this to the best of your ability, if he is toying with you, I will kill him myself.”
I smiled as I looked at Florence, she is my cousin who is very understanding and is like my own sister.
“He wants me to quit Entertainment,” I tell him, and Florence looks at me in disbelief, she almost jumps out of her chair. I know this news must have shaken him too.
“What??? And you accept it???”
I nodded, Florence plodding languidly into the back of her chair.
“Are you okay if I stop?” I asked worriedly, Florence smiling lightly as she waved one of her hands.
“I’m not a nameless manager, Ana, even without looking for artists those artists come to me,” he concluded arrogantly, I pressed my lower lip to mock his arrogance, but what Florence said was true. He is one of the experienced artist managers and the most sought after by artists out there.
“I’d better take you home, I also want to meet Aunt Alina,” said Florence, we left our seats. Just as we were about to pass the cafe door, Troy’s figure blocked our path and I could clearly see that the man was holding back his emotions.
“I want to talk to you, Sonia,” he said with a slight hiss, I’m like a rabbit that will be eaten by an anaconda now.
“I’ll wait at home.” Florence left without trying to help me. When Florence’s figure was out of sight, Troy grabbed my wrist and then slightly dragged me to his car. Luckily I didn’t bring my Audi here, I went with Florence after the launching of my second single.
