Sophies freckle covered face and piercing green eyes met Alvina's almost matching hazel tinted ones, their faces began to light up with joy. They both stepped forward simultaneously enjoying the embracing each other. All of Alvina's worries immediately melted away, she pulled back and looked at Sophie once again, a smile splattered on her face she said "OMGGG, its SO nice to see you! This just feels so right!", Sophie nodded quickly smiling back she replied "Right? I'm so glad your finally here!" Sophie stepped back , opening the door a bit more and Alvina stepped inside looking around "This is soo nice Soph, your penthouse is gorgeous". "Awe, well thank you! Just been collecting things trying to make it more homey" Sophie replied walking over to a table with a shelf full of vinyl records, "You still listen to these?" Sophie then said again turning her head back toward Alvina who was standing behind her beside the couch. Alvina then shook her head "No, I had to sell mine when.." she paused for a second "When Garret and I moved into our apartment." Alvina then continued "I've been collecting CD's ever since, though I left those back at the apartment..." Sophie smiled at Alvina "Well here." she motioned Alvina over to her with her hand, "You can pick out out to play while I go make us some coffee, I bet your tired from all that driving over here". Alvina stepped toward the turn table watching Sophie walk toward the kitchen then flipping through the records she replied, "Thank you so much, and it wasn't too bad but I stopped at the fountain before I came here so I am a bit wore". Alvina spotted a record with a solid while back ground and the title pasted in red and black, Bad by Michael Jackson, so she slipped it out and set it on the turn table and placed the needle on it. The title track started playing immediately, the first notes echoing through the penthouse.
A few minutes later Sophie finished up with the coffee, heading over to Alvina sitting on the couch with 2 steaming coffee cups. "Not to bring down the mood or anything... but what happened between you and Garret?" Sophie said while setting her and Alvina's cups on the table in front of them. Alvina looked up and replied, "We got into a fight, and it got physical, he slapped me. Nothing ever has happened like that before" She began to tear up thinking about it then continued "Remember how I had told you he's been putting all his school work and stress on me since, well you know what happened last year". Sophie nodded and stared at her with a furrowed brow and a caring look allowing her to continue, "Well I decided enough was enough and wrote this stupid essay I knew would get him to fail and pay attention to his own work" Sophie cocked her head to the side "He slapped you over that?? You could've done way worse in my opinion" she replied. Alvina chimed in "PLUS, I saw him with another woman right before that happened. It wasn't worth the fight and I just needed to leave. Sophie nodded again "I should call him right now and give him a piece of my mind". Alvina giggled "I wouldn't stop you" she smelt a whiff of coffee filled air blow in her direction and picked up her cup to take a drink, Sophie decided to switch to a more light subject, they had plenty of time to catch up on relationship time in the future, "What was that surprise you were talking about on the phone earlier" she then spoke up. Alvina set down her cup of coffee and raised her eyebrows in excitement "You will not believe what I've got for us" she reached beside her, picking her bag up off the ground and stuck her hand inside, pulling out 2 large tickets with those familiar big brown eyes on top, handing them Sophie she said "Michael Jackson Dangerous tour tickets!!!!". Sophie took them in her hand staring in disbelief, "NO WAY. ALVINA NO WAY YOU DID NOT" she said jumping up out of her seat. "I DID, I DID!!" Alvina said jumping up as well watching Sophies reaction. Sophie then turned her head toward Alvina "I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU GOT US VIP TICKETS" Alvina tilted her head back in confusion, "Vip? I didn't get vip tickets?" Sophie handed the tickets back to her and Alvina stared down at them reading the bold black letters that read "V.I.P." She shot her head to the side looking back at Sophie, "OH MY GOD I GOT VIP TICKETS!?!" Alvina had failed to read the actual ticket, she was just excited and grateful to have them she didn't care what seats they were, Sophie and Alvina began to jump up and down in excitement, possible annoying the downstairs neighbors below but they didn't care right now. They were BEYOND excited for this show. Sophie and Alvina decided to go out that night to see a movie, the movie they chose to see was Home Alone 2: Lost in New York that had just hit theatres on November 20th. They spent the rest of the night on the town having fun exploring different places, Sophie showing her around the city and all the different sights to see.
