WHAT DOES LOVE DO🤨

CHAPTER TWO (2)

Ben entered the room, and saw Sophie sitting down on the bed starring at the door, their eyes meet immediately he entered the room and in her eyes he can sense the questioning, anxiousness and expectations but he did nothing.

He stood at the door for some minutes and the both of them just looked at each other lost in their thoughts and world what use to be a romantic and lovely scenario is now playing out with tension and uncertainty in the air. For so many times both people in the room usually delight in each other presence and get lost in their world. But now it is different they just stood there like strangers looking at each other.

Sophie came out of her reverie has Ben opened the door and although she wanted to stand up and rush to him she managed to sit down and calm her nerves waiting for him to take a step and make the first action. When their eyes meet something slowly sunk in her stomach, rather than anything she had imagined his eyes was not in anyway remorseful, nor warm, all she can see in his eyes was indifference and arrogance like always before but this time around something was a little bit different his eyes were colder and ruthless like a predator ready to finally break it's prey after a long game of chase. He looked like he was going to hurt her like never before.

Cold sweat broke out on Sophie back as she looked at him, she tried to call his name but she had lost her voice so all she could do was stare at him and for few minutes they remained in that position.

Then finally he entered the room fully after shutting the door behind him and walked straight to the wardrobe, brought out his suitcase and started packing his clothes in the wardrobe.

Sophie looked in disbelief at what he was doing, a bad feeling creeping all over her after a few attempts of trying to speak she finally found her voice and asked him " what are you doing Ben?" but silence was the response he did not stop shuttling clothes from the wardrobe to the suitcase completely acting like that was the most important mission in his life ignoring whatever existence that might be in the room. After waiting for few minutes and still no response from him Sophie lost it and became very livid she stood up from the bed and went to where Ben was standing looked at him for a few seconds and started throwing out the clothes he was arranging in the suitcase on the floor.

That got his attention because he stopped and finally spoke to her after treating her like she was non existent. " what are you doing, are you crazy?" Ben shouted while glaring at Sophie but this time he was the one getting the silent treatment because Sophie did not stop what she was doing but went further in packing all his clothes and dumping them in the bathroom under the shower.

Before Ben could react the deed was already done all his precious clothes were soaking wet . He looked at Sophie like he wanted to snap her into two before bellowing " what is wrong with you acting all crazy." Sophie was not moved by his loud voice she calmly looked up to him and said " so when you act, it is fine but when I act am crazy ?" She scoffed as she step out of the bathroom pushing him away.

Ben grunted in frustration has he looked at his wet clothes on the floor, he turned off the shower and followed Sophie to the room. He caught her midway walking out of the room and grabbed her tightly by the shoulder looking at her eyes he said " you don't get to walk out on me like that, understood you worthless thing". Then he threw her harshly on the bed and started pacing the length of the room angrily, his fist tightened visibly in anger.

As Sophie watch Ben pace the room she was shaking both from anger and hurt. Tears threaten to start flowing from her eyes any second now but she bit her lips in an attempt to hold them back, unable to get over the way Ben looked at her earlier, his eyes corroborate with the words that came out of his mouth, he really did see her as someone worthless. The same eyes that had previously adored and worshipped everything she did, always so supportive and kind but right now it is looking at her with disdain.

After giving everything a thought Sophie started laughing frantically and no longer holding it back the tears started flowing freely from her eyes, she laughed so much that she choked herself sending her on a cough fit but she still did not stop trying to laugh. Ben just stood and watched as Sophie did everything like he was watching a drama not in the slightest acting touched or moved by any of it after a while he went to sit on the couch in the room and watch has Sophie choked on her laugh emotionlessly.

Has Sophie glanced at him she realized everything was finally over there is no longer anything she can do to make things go back to how they were before. She had thought that maybe if she was understanding, gentle , compromising and doing everything he wanted then things would be good but seeing the man that is so indifferent to her choking her life out sitting comfortably in front of her without any care, finally made that point clear that she had been mistaken all along and had made decisions she shouldn't have because she believed they were in love.

After floundering about the bed for a while Sophie managed to pull herself together, she sat in the upright position she previously was when he entered the room, then looked at Ben where he is seated straight in the eye and said " I asked you earlier but you chose not to answer hopefully now would be different WHAT ARE YOU DOING BEN? ".

Ben smiled cynically as he eyed Sophie act like she is tough " you know that arrogant and bitchy bossy attitude of yours like you are everything but clearly you are nothing yeah that stuck up behavior is why I started hating you in the first place, you just don't know when to back off and act docile do you, always trying to prove a point and make decisions you scrawny bi**ch" Ben said has he stood up and approached Sophie " what are you going to do if I decide not to answer you, what the hell can you do about it don't try acting funny with me. I know that you are nothing and you have no one so stop that false act of bravado and stop getting on my nerves." By now he was towering over Sophie on the bed and was starring at her like a villain and although Sophie was really scared because all the things he said was true, physically there is no how she can force the answer out of him neither is there anyone that will rush to her rescue if he decides to hurt her right there she is all alone but still yet she masked the feeling of panic and looked at him with a gaze she hoped conveyed calm craziness and after a short stare down between them both. Ben averted his eye first, allowing wave of relive to wash over Sophie.

Ben laughed as he said " you crazy girl, alright I will try to be the bigger person here since I don't even want to deal with you ever again. You asked what am doing, well here it is am officially breaking up with your stupid self. You just have to make me say it out loud don't you? unable to take a hint all this while, pathetically clinging onto me well now am saying it clearly IT IS OVER."
