Wifey Talk [COMPLETED, 18+]

Chapter forty-one

SOFIA'S POV

A week passes by, and James keeps his word. Instead of going out every night to sleep with a new woman, he comes home to me. We usually eat dinner at home together, and then I read him to sleep. Today is different from usual though because we have the charity ball to go to at the Residence Hall.

I already went out and bought my dress with Elizabeth. Right now I'm just climbing out of the bath and lathering lotion all over my body.

"Can I come in?" James asks.

"Just a second!" I hurry and slip a robe on over my naked body. "Okay, you can come in."

James walks in to use the shower, and my eyes flit to the clothes he drops on the floor before getting under the spray of the water. My mind thinks back to what he looks like naked. He's the only man I've ever seen naked, and that was just for a few seconds before I told him to cover up. It was an interesting experience to say the least.

While he's showering, I slip off my robe and apply lotion over my chest and arms. Then I change into a clean set of panties. I walk to my closet and step into my gown. It's a shimmery gold number with a halter neckline. The thin strap thigh behind my neck and dip into a low V. The skirt of the dress features a high slit that runs up my thigh. I walk back into the bathroom and apply makeup to my face, starting off with foundation.

By that point, James steps out of the shower. There is a towel wrapped around his waist, and his chest is slick with water. I lick my lips watching him. He looks unbelievably sexy.

While he changes, I finish up blow-drying my hair and applying my makeup. I rub sparkly gold eyeshadow onto my lids, smoking my eyes out to match my dress. When I finally step out of the bathroom, James is waiting for me outside.

He freezes for a moment.

"Is everything okay? Do I look alright?" I ask him.

He nods his head. "Yeah. Perfect."

"Not too much?"

"No, no, you look great. What tie should I wear?" He asks me.

He holds up a black tie and a blue one. "Well the blue will bring out your eyes more. But I like that black because it's so classic."

"I think I'll go with the black then," he says. "Because it will match you better."

I help him wrap the tie around his neck and knot it perfectly. He smiles at me boyishly before asking me his next question. "Ready to go?"

JAMES' POV

As the limo drives us to the ball, I find it hard to keep my eyes on the road. I keep stealing glances at Sofia, who is staring out the window lost in her own thoughts. She looks radiant in her golden dress. I actually thought she was shimmering like a goddess when I first saw her.

"What are you thinking?" I ask her.

She turns to face me. "I was just wondering if you were going to bid on anything. It is a charity auction after all."

"I definitely will," I tell her. I had to spend money otherwise I'd get a bad reputation for being stingy. And who didn't like helping out charity? "You can tell me what you'd like me to bid on," he says.

"Really?"

"Of course. Maybe I'll end up buying you an ice cream machine," I tell her.

She laughs. "So instead of buying ice cream to stock up the fridge, we'll just make our own."

"Exactly," I tease her.

The charity auction ball has been thrown in two enormous ballrooms. The first room has a few of the physical prizes set out on tables around the room while the second room has a ballroom floor and several seats set up for the auction itself. I link arms with Sofia and keep her by my side while several business partners and employees approach me. She's engaging with everyone extremely well, and they all seem to like her.
