Fresh start

Chapter 4

Sophia pov

"I'm so anxious, Steffie. I want your friends to like me." I tell Steffie as we take our bags and go to the front door

"They'll love you, so stop being nervous. I've already talked to them about you, and they're excited to meet you. You're so beautiful, and you're going to drive them crazy with your personality." I'm going to say something, but she's cutting me off

"I don't hear nonsense again. You're wonderful," and it makes sense for us to leave

I nodded my head, and we headed to the elevator. "So tonight it will be Jen, who I already met her yesterday. My friends Kelly and Helen with their boyfriends, Jack and Vince. And Tyler's brother Ian. He doesn't have a girlfriend, but with Jen, there's something." "Everyone in your company is a couple? I hope I don't end up in the middle." "Don't worry, and we'll hold back. Tonight is for them to meet you. After they go home, they can do whatever they want," she says with a laugh. "I don't mind anyway, and I'm not interested in doing anything now. But being one person between four couples is not the best thing."

"I know, but don't be nervous. All they want today is to meet you." "Tyler will sit with us or have to work?" "He's taking over his kitchen assistant. We're both having dinner to welcome you, so it wouldn't be right for him to work." We had already reached the car with the conversation, and we started for the restaurant. I was fooling around with the city, and at some point, Steffie broke the silence. "Maybe Tyler's best friend will come. He's the one who helped with Tyler and he is my boss." "Yeah, you told me you were at a business dinner when you met. So your boss was the reason you met Tyler?" "It is. He does all the professional meals and dinners there. I alone couldn't afford this restaurant "she laughs at the end

"Anyway. He will come if he can. The work has been stressful lately. " '' All good. I understand. Another time. "We arrived at the restaurant, Tyler was outside, and as soon as he saw us, he hugged and kissed Steffie. "I missed you," he tells her. "I missed you too," Steffie tells him. They look for a while as if they were the only ones in the world how I want to have that one day. But at the moment, there is no such things in my life. Tyler cleans his throat, turns around, and tells me

"Sorry for that. Welcome to my restaurant Sophia. You're going to have a great night. The rest have come. I've put us in the private space on the top right. Shall we go?" "Let's go," I say to Steffie at the same time

"Kevin, classic will be a little late, but he said he would come."

Entering the restaurant is lovely from the decoration to the tables and the waiters all fantastic. We arrived at the table, and the recommendations were made. Kelly is a petite blonde with blue eyes who was a bit lost next to the tall and husky Jack, also blonde but with brown eyes. Helen is a brunette with green eyes, and she has an incredible combination. She is pretty tall. She has no difference in height from the also tall brunette with brown eyes, Vince. We started chatting, and until we ordered and the food arrived, I asked about their jobs, and they asked about me. Kelly and Helen work with a company that organizes weddings and other events. Jack works in the finance department at the same company as Steffie.

And Vince has hotel chains across the country. He met Helen when she and Kelly organized Vince's brother's wedding and have been inseparable ever since. Steffie, Helen, Jen, and Kelly are friends from high school, and so Jack was added to the company when he invited him to Steffie's birthday party and met Kelly, and the rest are known. Ian is a photographer and collaborates with several fashion magazines. As long as I sit next to Jen, he hasn't taken his eyes off her. "He stares at you," I say softly. "Who?" "Ian. He's been looking at you since you came." "It's out of the question. He work with models and actors. Why he will look at me?" she says, a little sad and looks at me, trying to hide it

"He's looking at you. And not someone else in here. Why you don't talk to him? I have the impression that you two have a story." When Jen went to talk to me, the dessert came. "Steff, look who came?" says Tyler, and we look up the stairs.

" Finally, he is here. Sophia is Tyler's friend and my boss, Kevin."

"Oh Yeah"

I think I'm dreaming. Kevin is wow. There are no words to describe him. Tall, fit, husky with dark brown hair and honey eyes. Focus Sophia, you are not for that now. You are making a fresh start. You are not for men now.

But...

"Hello, guys. I know I was late, but the meeting went much slower than I expected," he says, and his honey eyes are fixed on me. He smiles. f**k I'm in deep. Everyone greeted him. "Kevin, let me introduce you to my cousin, Sophia. She came for a master's degree and will stay in town for a long time." She tells him and then turns to me. After I get up, she tells me, "Sophia, from here our friend and my boss, Kevin" I give him my hand, and I touch it with his warm hand, I feel that I will regret it. Focus Sophia

'' Nice to meet you. I was anxious to meet the one who brought these love birds together.” I say and show Steffie and Tyler. he laughs a little what an incredible sound

"The joy is all mine. Well, I only came for a business meeting, and after that, I was left without an architect," he says, and the whole table bursts into laughter. "At least I caught the dessert."

"And I said you wouldn't come," says Tyler. "I had time to see you all, and it was an opportunity to meet Sophia," he says, looking at me strangely. I think I've turned red like tomatoes.

"What a master's degree?" he asks when we all sit down

"In Greece, I graduated with a degree in Health Care. Here I decided to generalize a bit. Business Administration so that I have more options." we kept chatting together until we all decided to continue at a club. I don't know which one, the guys decided. All I did until we got up was take a look at Kevin. Oh God, I'm in deep s**t. No Sophia focus. You are here because you have some goals. You will not let a man go back to you again. We got up and went to the club. It will be long at night!

Kevin pov

I'm so glad I ended up with my parents early. That's how I met Sophia. Beautiful name, as beautiful as she is. As soon as I saw her, wow. What to describe first? Her eyes, her hair, her body full of curves. I have always liked Mediterranean types of women. That's what I looked like in my father. After he fell in love with my mother, who is Spanish. And I already believe that they will like her very much. What is this? I haven't met her yet, and I want my parents to know her? This is new. I have to do something to get to know her better and maybe my chance is now at the club. We enter the club. The girls in front of us are men behind. f**k looks at her walking. I will definitely ask her to dance. It will be long at night!
