Chapter 165 - After Valentines (12) (1/2)

By the time Sophia and Felix arrived at his apartment, her lust calmed down, but her anxiety shoot up the roof. She found herself conflicted, 'Why am I here? What will I do now? If I approach him... how will that look like? Do I even want it now? … Yes, I want it… Of course, I do… But how will that look like? What will he think of me?'

Sophia stood in front of the window looking outside, hoping that he will not notice how nervous she is.

Felix stepped behind her and helped to take her coat off. Felix embraced Sophia from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

Sophia relaxed. Just as she was gathering her courage to turn and face Felix, a female voice with a heavy French accent came from other room. ”Finally, you are back. I'm waiting since morning!”

Sophia turned around and found herself looking at a petite woman with a long wavy light brown hair. Her big blue eyes were observing Sophia curiously while faint smile appeared on her face. Then she abruptly turned to Felix.

Felix let go of Sophia and took a step towards the woman. ”When did you get here?”

”This morning”, she responded.

Felix was visibly agitated by her presence. ”Why?”

Woman shrugged. ”My Valentine's sucked, so I came here for you to comfort me.”

”Why didn't you call?”

”I did”, woman tilted her head and her eyes widened waiting for Felix to confirm her claim.

Felix checked his phone and saw numerous texts and calls. He frowned at the thought that he missed these because he kept his phone on silent this morning when he went to Sophia's apartment. If he picked them up, he would tell her not to come... or at least he would not bring Sophia here.

”I see... you did call.” Felix admitted.

”I even took a day off tomorrow, so we can spend more time together.” Woman said cheerfully.

Felix was agitated again. ”No one asked you to do that.”

Woman made a silly face at him. ”So... ”, the woman looked at Sophia, and then back at Felix. ”Aren't you going to introduce me?”

Felix frowned and turned to Sophia.

”This is Sophia. Sophia, this is Bridgette.”, he gestured with his hand.

Sophia looked at Felix, her expression showing that she demands an explanation. It took him few seconds to realize that Sophia's expression is turning dark and he needs to clarify current situation. ”Bridgette is my sister.”

Sophia's face softened. Seeing how they are bickering, she could tell that they are close. If she was anything other than sister, Sophia would smack Felix in the face and leave immediately. Actually, even now she wants to leave.

Sophia cleared her throat. ”You should spend time with your sister. We can catch up later.” Sophia took her coat and looked at Bridgette. ”Nice to meet you.” Sophia was swift, she was already at the door.

Felix rushed towards her. ”Wait, let me take you back.”

”No need. I can manage.” Sophia closed the doors behind her and left.

Bridgette was facing the door. ”Aren't you going after her?”
