Trapped In Love

THE VISIT

Sophie woke up late due to the stress from the other day, the sun blazed through her window, threatening to scorch her skin.Sophie sluggishly got up from her bed, walking towards the bathroom like some heafty heavy ankle belts were tied around her legs her,s ook her bath, did her skincare and went to her cupboard to search for a perfect outfit for the day. She wore a light blue breathable gown that is suitable for the weather. She looked like an untouchable fairy that would be admired by everyone.

While admiring herself in the mirror, suddenly the door flung open. She turned around and saw Myers who's eyes beamed with enchantment upon seeing her, she cleared her throat.

"It seems you forget your manners in the bathroom, at least learn how to say excuse me or knock."

"I own the house, don't I? I have every right to step into anywhere in the house", Myers said arrogantly

"Well I do have my own rights, right to privacy and as long as i'm living under your roof you can't step into my privacy zone that is this room without my consent",

"I'm not surprised by the way you talk because since I meet you you've been like this, daring and unafraid",

"What brings you here?"

Myers threw a sheet of paper on her bed "We were invited for some kind of occasion, I wrote the dress code on the paper and the address of where you can get a dress from. If you're ready give the driver the address he'll drive you down there."

"I'll be off to work now and make sure you choose something elegant, I want us to kill the show,"

"Okay," Sophie replied softly

"Before I forget here's my card get yourself anything you want."

"By the way you look handsome in this suit" Sophie said while collecting the card

"Very unusual thanks, have a nice day"

Myers smiled at Sophie, his face was bright and over joyous, he hardly gets compliment because his life revolves around business. The compliment made his entire day.

"Same to you," Sophie replied, she watched him as he left and she got back to finish her dressing. After dressing, she went downstairs, had her breakfast and then went to the the garage to meet the driver.

"Good morning Mr Scott "

"Good morning ma'am"

"Please I want you to take me to the nearest shopping mall to get some groceries"

"Okay ma'am", he said as he opened the car for Sophie to get in.

Sophie alighted from the car when they got to the mall, she went in a bought a lot of items then came outside, loaded the items in the car with Mr Scott and they got back into the car.

"Are we going back home?", Mr Scott asked

"No, take me to this first address and after take me to the second one", Sophie said while extending a piece of paper to him

"Okay ma'am",

"Here you go I bought some treat for you" Sophie handed him a bag of goods

He happily accepted the gift,

"Thank you ma'am, that's really kind of you"

"Don't mention"

Mr Scott drove Sophie to the address she gave him and soon they arrived. Sophie took the items she bought out of the car,

"Mr Scott please wait for me in the car while I drop this items, I'll be back shortly.

"Okay ma'am".

Sophie stood at the forefront of the apartment and knocked on the door,

"Knock knock"

"Who's there?"

"It's me Sophie"

The door creaked as someone slightly open the door to check

" Look who is here today Jones, It's Sophie", Sophie's mum said while staring at her in surprise

"Will you allow me to keep standing outside like a stranger?"

"We weren't expecting you, come in", said her mother as she helped her with the items

They went inside and they all settled down. Sophie broke the silence,

"Uhm I just dropped by to check on you guys and I bought some items along",

"Well that's so reasonable of you" her father said while flossing his teeth

Sophie felt a deep sting in her heart after her father's statement, she thought " As it seems I'm of no value here in this house, I'm just an income generator no care at all. I visited, no one asked me If I'm doing well, if I am okay, no welcoming nothing-nothing. I brought items for them no appreciation then what's the use"

Sophie was lost in her thought when her mother tapped her " When will you be leaving so you won't get replaced or thrown out of the job for staying out long".

"Oh wow, I can't believe this...this is all you care about? Money, job, materialistic things? Well I don't blame you guys I was the one that cared all this while that I even came to visit you."

Sophie gritted her teeth, her fingers curled up into a fist as heat surged her chest. She snatched her bag from the chair like it owed her something, she opened it and brought out two envelopes and handed it over to her mum.

"Here is your upkeep money, one for dad and one for you. I'll take my leave now, Good day."

"When is your next visit going to be?", her mother asked

"I don't know "

"Maybe never", Sophie muttering under her breath.

Sophie went out and sat in the car,

"Let's go", Sophie said eager to leave the suffocating surrounding that always make her veamed with anger

While on the way she saw a men's store, she thought of buying something for Myers even though he has tons of wears and accessories in his wardrobe. Sophie's choice differs from his so she taught he might like her choice of gift,

"Uhm... Mr Scott can you please reverse to that store we left just now?"

"Okay ma'am"

"Mr Scott you don't have to keep calling me ma'am, it makes me feel somehow. I'd likely prefer you call me by my name, just Sophie"

"okay Mrs Sophie or should I call you Mrs Donovan?"

Sophie's heart skipped a bit," I.... I'll prefer Miss Sophie".

He drove them back to the store and dropped Sophie,

"I will be at the parking zone, when you're done notify me".

"Okay I will"Sophie said politely

Sophie stepped into the world of men's store, amused sighting different types of men's styles.

"I've never done this before but first time for everything", she said as she entered the elevator.

She wandered around searching for her perfect gift suddenly someone bumped into her, it wasn't a natural accident. It was an intentional one, Sophie without turning started guessing who it was in her mind and she thought it might be Mr Scott— no he wouldn't do such or maybe Myers

Then suddenly a familiar voice spoke behind her, it was neither of the two she thought because she heard a feminine voice.

"Who might be this mysterious lady with a familiar voice?" she thought.........
