Two Worlds Apart

Chapter 15

We arrived in front of my house and it was already pasted 7pm, i was so tired.

"Thank you so much for the restaurant, I really appreciate it" I tell him, I definitely couldn't see clearly anymore

I'm being blinded by sleep

"My pleasure"

I unbuckled my seat belt and opened the car door before stepping out

"Good night" and then I gently closed it and walked towards my front door

I was just about to put in my key when the door came flying open with an excited looking Sophia

"Are you okay?" I asked in confusion

She looked over my shoulder to Eric car which was still there

She immediately pulled me in and closed the door

"Who was that?"  Curiosity was clear in her voice

"Mr Martinez" I tell her straight

She let's out a little squeal "he dropped you off? What happened? How was the occasion?"

My head was banging and I definitely couldn't think straight

I placed one hand on her shoulder "not tonight Soph, I beg you"

I turn around and head for my room door

"Your such a kill joy!" She yells

"I'm glad!" I yell back before shutting my room door

Eric's POV•

"Good night" she said before closing the door and walking to her front door

I sat calmly in the car watching her as she tried to open the door but her friend did so before she could.

Courtney Jones.

She's not like most women I've met.

Definitely not

She's different in all aspect but yet she seemed better

I realised she had gone inside and turned on my ignition before driving off

She seemed like a pretty easy going person but all the same it also seems like life hasn't been fair to her. She lost her parents and probably struggling with financial issues but in all she never looks affected with all of that. A smile formed on my lips when I realized her smell still lingered in the car, it was fading but it was still there

She smelt like the sweet smell of flowers and that's a smell that everyone found pleasant

Come to think of it, I was supposed to return back to the hotel but right now I don't think I can anymore, I just wanted to go to bed

I picked up my phone beside me and turned it on just to see Courtney's picture as the wallpaper

"Wait what?" I turned the back of the phone and it wasn't mine

She forgot her phone

I stopped the car and contemplated for while if I should go back but I was already far away.

I dropped the phone back and decided to return it tomorrow and I picked mine up

I dialed Gloria's number

"Hey Eric"

"Hey G, still at the hotel?" I made a right turn

"No, I just left, Thomas just got home so I had to go" she explained
