Chapter 16 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“Don’t tell me you just woke up. Wait! Did you sleep with Bryan Delgados?” Celsie asked excitedly.

“Who says ‘sleep with’ these days? Come on love, you should summon up courage to use the appropriate words. Keep up with the trends. You should trying saying words like fuck, smash, shag, score, screw, bone, nail, pound, bang etc. There is just so much I need to teach you.” Sonia said with another yawn.

“WOW! Is that all you ever think about?” Celsie asked in amusement. She hadn’t realized there was this much words to describe something as simple as sex.

“Well, that’s how I came into the world after all.” Sonia said with a giggle as she sat up on her bed. She hadn’t realized she had slept for so long.

“Whatever. So did you shag or bone him?” Celsie asked, deciding she preferred the sound of shag to fuck. Fuck sounded too raw and unrefined… She closed her eyes when a picture of herself yelling ‘fuck’ as Benne ate her honeypot crossed her mind, ‘Shit!’ she muttered when she felt the fingers of lust gnaw at her lower abdomen.

“No I didn’t. As a matter of fact I jilted my darling fiance.” Sonia said with a giggle. She couldn’t help wondering what he must be thinking. She could bet her last cash that he was relieved that she had left him in peace. He was in for real surprise if he thought she was that easy to shake off.

“Jilted? How? Why?” Celsie asked in confusion, momentarily distracted from her own dilemma.

“Well, I think he’s going to make a good muse for my next bestseller. Besides, I figured I need to put him in check, and tame him. So I’m just going to write about us. What do you think?” Sonia asked with a grin as she picked up a pen and started scribbling down some ideas as it came to her.

“Write about the both of you? Do you think he’s going to like that?” Celsie asked curiously.

“Did he think I was going to like a random stranger walking up to me and proposing to me out of the blues and bringing unwanted spotlight on me? Well, I’m sure he was too selfish to think about that because he is handsome, wealthy and famous, and believes he can get away with whatever. So I’m not going to worry about what he likes either. Enough about my fiance, I’m sure that wasn’t why you called, or was it?” Sonia asked curiously as she closed her journal and looked around her room which looked like the home of a lunatic.

“No. Well, I’m in a mess.” Celsie cried as her mind went back to her predicament.

“What is the problem?” Sonia asked as she placed the phone on loud speaker and headed for the bathroom. She dropped the phone by her bathtub and lowered herself to the toilet seat to ease herself.

“Well, I got an official car and a driver…”

“Yay! Good news! Congratulation to us!” Sonia said excitedly.

“And the driver happens to be Benne, my one night stand who is also my next door neighbor.” Celsie concluded.

“Double Yaay!” Sonia exclaimed with a giggle.

“Double Yaay?”

“Yeah. Like Yay! Yay! I’m super excited on your behalf! The days of your boring lifestyle is about to end.” Sonia said as she cleaned up and flushed the toilet.

“Come on Sony! I’m being serious. How am I going to face him?”

“Well, you don’t have to face him. You can have it from behind.” Sonia laughed at her own joke, “But seriously, you’re damn lucky girl! Now you can have sex everywhere you go. In the house, on your way to work, and even in your god-damned office. I really want to be you right now. Can you send me a picture of his looks? I really want to know how hot he is.” Sonia said dreamily.

“You’re not being helpful.” Celsie complained.

“Okay, come on. What do you want me to say or do? Go on, I’m listening.” Sonia said as she picked up her toothbrush, applied the apple mint foavored paste on it and started to brush her mouth.

“What if he is stalking me? I don’t think any of this is coincident. How can I just keep running into him everywhere I go?” Celsie complained.

Sonia paused her brush halfway and spat out the foam in her mouth, “Well, technically, from what you said yesterday, I would say he should be the one thinking you’re stalking him, and not the other way around. Now let me explain. First of all, Serenopolis is his City, and you moved over there. Secondly, you met him at the club… I mean, he was there before you got there, and your seat was placed right next to his, right?”

“Right.”

“And then you moved into the apartment next to his. You went to his apartment last night, right? Did it seem like he just moved in?” Sonia asked logically.

“No.” Celsie said, beginning to feel stupid for being suspicious of an innocent man.

“Now if he has the power to get any position in your company, why would he want to be your driver when he can easily be your boss, or work in your office with you? Why would he want to work beneath you as your driver?” Sonia concluded.

“I guess I’m overreacting.”

“Yes you are. So just take in a deep breath, and relax. I think you feel this way because you’re attracted to him and you’re trying to run from it. Maybe another dose of his penisilin would make you alright.” Sonia said with a giggle making Celsie roll her eyes.

“You’re just too corrupt.”

“Whatever. You better put your driver into good use. If I were you, I’d have him driving me off the edge of my bed with his rod..” Sonia said with a grin, and laughed out loud when she heard the disconnect tone.

At twenty-six, Sonia was five feet six inches tall, and had the body of a senior highschool baseball team cheerleader. Her honey colored skin was flawlessly smooth, and her long curly blonde hair framed her beautiful heart shaped face. Her eyes which were large on her small face were a beautiful green, and gave her an innocent look which belied her mischievous nature.

Sonia had a small smile on her face as she admired her reflection on the mirror after her phone call with Celsie, “Not bad for a celebrity’s fiancee, huh?” She murmured as she checked out herself. She had actually been feeling quite low on morale lately until the incident with Bryan last night, and now she felt vitalized.

Soon the sound of Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of you” could be heard drifting through her open window as she set about cleaning her room while dancing and singing on the top of her lungs.

She paused when her eyes fell on the engagement ring which was on the table, and she picked it up and looked it over before sliding it down her finger, “Perfect size, huh? Coincidence or Fate?” She asked herself with a crooked smile, and raised a hand to her lips when she remembered that they had actually kissed… The kiss had even been good enough to elicit a moan from her… But she would be damned if she was going to tell him how electrifying and sactisfying the kiss had been. She wasn’t going to be the one to feed his oversized ego.

“I’d settle for fate. I’m going to get him to fall in love with me, and then we are going to get married and have two kids. A boy who looks just like him, and a mini version of me.” Sonia told herself with a dreamy smile.

As a writer, she had wanted to make their meeting more memorable by leaving without a trace. She knew better than most, that you often remembered peopIe who leave without saying goodbye, more than those who do. And that was what she wanted. For him to think about her, wonder about her and then worry about her.

She searched around the room for her other phone which she had turned off because of all the calls she had kept receiving regarding the engagement. When she picked it up and turned it on she saw different text message notifications, but only opened the one from her Editor.

“Been trying to reach you, but I guess you’re busy with your fiance. The movie producer is even more interested in your story now that he has seen you’re in a relationship with Mr Delgados. Let’s talk about it over lunch or whenever you’re ready.” Sonia rolled her eyes as she read it out.

“How typical.” She muttered before scrolling to the sound recorder icon and tapping on the recording she had made of their conversation the previous night. She lay down on the floor of her apartment as she listened to their voices through her phone while the music kept playing in the background. After a while she sat up and jotted down her thoughts before dialing the line of her editor.
