Chapter 155 - After Valentines (2) (1/2)

~ New York, USA ~

Around eight in the morning, Sophia woke up because of the persistent doorbell which would not stop ringing.

She stumbled out of the bed pulling her dark red dress down while heading to the front door. Two steps later, she realized that she has a splitting headache.

Sophia's mind was a mess, and she didn't even think of looking through the peephole before opening the door. Next thing she knows, she is facing Felix.

In one hand he was holding a bouquet of red carnations, and in the other a large grocery bag. He looked at Sophia's sorry appearance and it was obvious that he is struggling to keep a straight face, ”Did I wake you up?”

Sophia realized that she looks like a hot mess. Without a word, she turned around and headed back to the bedroom. She closed the door behind her.

Felix found himself standing at the apartment entrance by himself. 'Well, at least she didn't slam the door in my face.' He was happy that there is a silver lining and entered her apartment. Felix let himself in and headed to the kitchen.

…

In the bedroom, Sophia sat on the bed and held her head in her arms.

She felt a mild nausea and a strong headache. 'Why do I have such a headache?' She remembered cocktails from previous night.

'How did I get home?' Image of her and Felix walking home popped in her mind.

'How did I end up in the bed?' Different images rolled in front of her closed eyes while she held her breath.

'I didn't!' Few more scenes appeared in her mind, and she could hear her own voice ringing in her head: 'Touch me'. Sophia rubbed her temples. 'It seems I did...'

She looked at herself and remembered that she is still in the dress from yesterday.

Sophia stood up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

After shower, Sophia needed some time to gather courage and get out of the bedroom. She was embarrassed to face Felix. She knows what happened, and what didn't happen. 'He just left!?' Sophia is aware that she is ready, that she wants him, and he is right there… her mind was a mess, but there is only one way to clear it up. She needs to get out and face whatever is coming.

…

Sophia exited the bedroom wearing a comfortable light green A-line dress. Her hair was still damp from the shower, falling over her shoulders. She followed sound of the blender from the kitchen.

Sophia took a seat at the kitchen island and observed Felix's back while he worked on something. She had trouble not focusing on his broad shoulders, and narrow waist, and the feeling of his muscles under her palms, and the weight of his body pressing on her…

On the counter she saw tomatoes, lemon, celery and hot sauce as well as some spices.

He turned around and paused for a second before handing her red colored drink* with a charming smile. ”For you.”

She looked at his handsome face and those two dimples which she wanted to touch. Headache made her slightly frown. ”What is it?”, she asked when the drink was in front of her.
