Opposites Always Attract

Chapter 8

Sophie pushed the scrambled eggs in front of her around her plate, eyeing them up with slight disgust

"You gonna tell us what's wrong Webster? What made you want to leave last night?" asked Katy.

The three girls had been sat at breakfast for twenty minutes now and Sophie hadn't touched her food yet. After the incident with Sian last night Sophie had sat looking completely lost in the smoking area for around fifteen minutes as she tried to gather herself before heading back in to the club and finding her friends. After several protests from Katy and Sam, Sophie managed to persuade them to let her leave and they reluctantly followed her back to the hotel. Ever since her sudden desire to leave, both girls had been mercilessly grilling the brunette to find out what had happened that seemed to have shaken her so much but Sophie kept her lips tightly sealed. Lips that had been previously pressed against Sian's. Lips that were still tingling slightly from the kiss.

"It's nothing, just wasn't feeling up to it." muttered Sophie, giving up on her breakfast and lowering the fork in her hand.

"You seemed pretty up for it when you were dancing with that hottie." stated Katy, giving her friend a wink.

Sophie paused for a second, a slight feeling of guilt hitting her having completely forgotten about Rose after everything that happened with Sian. She'd left for a cigarette stating she'd only be five minutes and then had never went back to see the blonde again.

Sophie cleared her throat, "Yeah ... didn't really like her that much."

"She was gorgeous!" protested Sam, "Set eyes on someone better or something?"

Sophie looked up as a flash of blonde entered the restaurant and she instantly locked eyes with Sian who stopped in her tracks at the sight of Sophie. She felt her heart rate increase dramatically as they maintained eye contact before Sian eventually dipped her eyes and walked away towards her friends who were sat at a table on the other side of the room.

"Oi! Earth to Sophie!" Katy snapped her fingers in front of the brunette's face as she promptly gave her head a shake and looked back at her friend.

"Sorry what?" Sophie reached out and grabbed her glass of orange juice, taking a sip before placing it back on the table.

"Alright you need to tell us what's gotten it to you right now." sighed Katy.

Sophie rolled her eyes, beginning to feel slightly irritated, "Nothing's gotten in to me, I'm just a bit tired."

Sam and Katy continued to chatter as Sophie's line of sight switched to the table Sian was sat at, catching the blonde staring back at her. They dared to keep watching one another for a while, an unreadable expression on both of their faces. Sophie watched as Sian tugged her lower lip between her teeth before closing her eyes tightly and turning back to her friends.

Sophie continued watching as Sian said something to her friends before standing up from the table, giving Sophie a quick glance again before lowering her eyes to the ground and walking out of the restaurant.

"Sophie!" shouted Sam as the brunette's head snapped to face her, "Where are you today?"

"I errm ..." Sophie stood up from the table, "I've got to go."

She ignored the protests from her friends who stared at her in confusion as she quickly left the table, dashing out of the room after Sian. She watched from the other end of the foyer as the elevator doors opened and Sian stepped in. Picking up her pace she ran over to the lift, slamming her hand against the door just as it went to close and following Sian inside.

Sian stared wide-eyed back at the brunette, confusion and slight anger evident on her features. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Sophie flicked her hand between the two of them, "We need to talk."
