Sophia POV
I wake up early in the morning because I have something to do before I leave the country, I take a bath, wearing my peach-colored sweater and my black jeans along with the only pair of sneakers I own.
I grab my purse with the money, and I head out, I catch a cab down to the familiar apartment, I walk in through the door and the guard still stares at me with disgust, oh come on if I wore a tight skirt and shirt he would be staring at me like a puppy.
I roll my eyes and get in the empty elevator, soon I stop by his door, grab the extra key from its hiding spot, open up the door and I hear the TV on, wow he's actually at home.
Then I hear the unmistakable voice of a woman
“Hello, who are you?” The blonde woman asks me in John's white T-shirt
Uhm I bit my lips, “Who are you?”
She smiles widely, “I’m John's wife”
“Wife?”
“Yes wife” she nods, “Is anything the matter?”
“How long have you guys been married?” I ask in disbelief I don't believe someone can get married in just a week
She chuckles “We have been married for 4 year
“So where have you been all this while” I ask in disbelief
“Uhm excuse me I still don't know who you are” She crosses her hand over her chest.
“Uhm I’m his roommate” I chuckle
“Oh” she nods, “he did tell me about you, I thought you moved out”
I did, I nod, “I just came to get some things I forgot,” or to steal something but she doesn't need to know that and yea I said steal
She nods, before I hear a baby cry, her eyes perk up and she rushes in the direction of the guest bedroom I follow behind I can't believe this bastard he has a wife and a child!!
“So where have you been all this while?” I ask her
She looks at me, “With my parents, John and I are trying to get our own house so I decided to leave the apartment so he can rent out the room and get extra cash” She shrugs her shoulders “We are almost done”
I nod “Wow, never knew he was married”
“Oh well now you know,” she says cooing at the little girl in her arms
“So are you going to get those-" she raised a brow at me
I nod, moving to his bedroom “Is that where you stayed?”
I nod “Yeah he stayed in the guest bedroom”
She nods and moves to the living room, I watch her leave with a sigh, I can't believe that bastard will lie to such a sweet woman, I roll my eyes and enter the room, it still looks the same the difference you can find women's clothing around.
I head to John's side of the bed, opening the drawer I find nothing, I move to the closet, and looking through his clothes I find nothing, I check his shoebox and jackpot, they are several wards of cash bundled together, now if I was wicked I would have grabbed everything and left, but instead I grab just one bundle closing the box back up I grab some of the woman's clothing since she looks the same size as me sticking it in a plastic bag, I walk out to the living room where the baby is now asleep
“I’m going to go now,” I announce
She nods “Want me to leave a message?”
I nod, “tell him his roommate was here and he should not look for me or he'll face the consequences”
She frowns, “what's that supposed to mean
“It's nothing” I smile tightly before walking away, when I reach the lobby I do something I've wanted to do for ages now, I stick my tongue out to the security guard before flipping my middle finger at him leaving him stunned, I go to a nearby cafe to charge my phone.
Once the screen lights up I see a message from Chuck
Chuck: they are okay with it, when you get on the flight simply go to this address Preston Road area, Wembley HA9 you can spend a day or two with them before you find a place for yourself
Good luck
I nod to myself ordering a sandwich and juice, it's still early, so I spend some time in the cafe, browsing for the cheapest place in London to rent and I finally find one, and I print out the details and location before grabbing my phone and heading out of the cafe.
First I head to the bank to deposit all my money keeping only some for my plane ticket
I get a cab back to the motel, I arrange my clothes along with John's wife's clothes which are now mine, when am done, I take a quick bath and still wear the same clothes as before grabbing my things, I check out of the motel before heading to the airport in a cab.
Soon I find myself settled in between a Large guy and a boy not more than 10 years old, I close my eyes and try to catch some sleep for the flight.
||~||~||~||~||
Six hours I’m boarding the plane, I get my bags, before trying to find a taxi, I get one and show him the address hoping he does not decide to kidnap and r**e me.
I know what is she thinking but it's just the nerves, I look around the beautiful city, it is truly amazing It is currently 6 am here in London and it's not really that cold but still nice since it is the beginning of summer, soon the cab stops and I look around
“We are here lady, my money,” the driver says
Oh, I nod grabbing the money I changed earlier at the bank, I give it to him before stepping off with my bag in hand watching him zoom off, a smile crosses my face when I realize, I’m in London, like f*****g London I never imagined I'll end up here, I look around and see a shop that has a closed sign it corresponds with the address Chuck sent me, I walk up to the dark windows and knock but nobody answers, I turn the door handle and it opens, well that was easy, I enter the dark shop, trying to find my way, when I hear faint music from what I assume is the kitchen I walk my way through and soon come up to a white door leading to a set of stairs, this probably looks like am breaking in so when I reach the second door, I knock but the music is really loud I don't think any one can hear me, I twist the handle and it opens, like what the hell are these people asking for? Robbery?
I enter the small house to see an old couple dancing to a slow song I don't recognize when the old man decides to spin the lady her eyes catch mine and she freezes
“Hi I wave to them I'm Sophia, Chuck's friend,” I say innocently
“Oh oh wow, you're so beautiful” The lady comes closer to inspect my face with her hands her British accent thick
I nod smiling at least somebody else recognises my beauty
“I’m Johnny but you can call me John,” the man says
I laugh lowly at another John, I nod to him turning my head to the lady
“Oh excuse my manners I’m Rosie” She places a kiss on both sides of my cheeks
I nod, “thank you for having me”
They nod, “we are delighted to have you and start up the shop again”
I nod with a smile
“It's been 5 years since we closed it down,” she says sitting on their vintage couch, Johnny following
I nod and take a seat, “I’m glad I could help”
She smiles “Oh come on let me show you to your room you must be tired after your trip”
I nod, “thank you again”
She nods, “Oh it's no hassle” She walks down a corridor with three doors the head being their bedroom, the one on the left the bathroom, and the one on the right the guest room, I enter and the room is decorated the same way as the house, vintage
“Thank you for having me” I turn to her
She smiles “You can stay as long as you want child if you want anything just ask”
I nod and watch her leave closing the door behind me, I lay down on the bed sending a quick thank you message to Chuck before drifting off to sleep.
