Sophia's P.O.V:
***DING DONG***
Emma's at the door. I jump up off the couch and swing open the door.
"Heeeey," she screams, her hands carrying bags full of wine by the looks of it. She really did mean it when she said she will bring the drinks to me.
"Heeeellloooo," I shout back.
She walks in and puts all the bags in the kitchen and starts taking the bottles out. I grab some wine glasses whilst she opens the first bottle. Emma, starts pouring it in the glasses and then we take them into the living room. I blast the music on the television. This is the first time in ages that I'm actually really happy. Even if everyone ellse let me down.
Hours past and the conversations kept going and the laughter kept flowing.
I look at the clock above the fire and it read 23:49. Emma came at 19:00, doesn't time fly. You can always tell when people are drunk when the words they say are all messed up.
"I really do love Cameron Hunter you know Soph, I really do!" Her words mixing up with others. By this time we have gone through 4 bottles of wine between us.
"I know Em, you two are perfect for each other, where did you find him?" I laugh.
"I don't even know, we just, met :/" She laughed back.
"I wish I had a boyfriend, someone who I can share all my problems to, someone who I can love and they can love me back for who I am.." I had to stop there as tears were rolling down my cheeks. I don't even know why I'm crying, I never cry. I'm blaming the drink.
"You will find someone, keep your chin up!" She says whilst rubbing my back for support.
"Hopefully, but when? 3 years? 5? 10? I'm fed up of being the one with nobody to lean on. Calling to her friends for support when they go to him!"
"Why don't you join a dating website then, that way you might be able to find someone?" She asks.
Imagine me joining a dating website, that makes me laugh just thinking about it.
"Oh yeah, okay" I cry but now I'm crying with laughter.
She goes in the corner and gets the laptop, opens it up and turns it on. We both wait for it to load then she goes on google and types in match.com. I grab her hand and I laugh "Are we actually doing this?" She nods in response.
I click on the website and it straight away leads me to signing up. It asks me what I am seeking for and my D.O.B, I fill in my details and then I click continue. Then it leads to another question asking where my town is. Emma types in London for me and once again clicks continue. Now the website is asking me to enter a username. I look at Emma who is just sat there laughing at the questions. I nudge her, so she would think of one for me. She types in 'SexygirlSophia', at this time, it's just the drink that's talking but we go along with it, we enter my email and password and then it loads.
Right, what type of people am I looking for. It asks me what type of people I go for. But I don't really know as its been that long since I've been in a relationship. I just leave it blank and move on. I go on my profile and click to upload a photo of me. Emma looks through my photos and picks one out. I go along. The last thing I have to do it describe myself and want I'm looking for. I typed 'I'm an average 23 year old who's looking for a guy who's funny and has a good personality.' Then we just left it like that.
A few suggested profiles come up.
I click on the first one; Joshua Brooks who's 27 years old. In his picture, he has medium length brown hair and black glasses. He is wearing a grey plain top. In his description he calls himself as a big flirt. We both must of read that at the same time as we looked at each other and laughed.
Emma stood up and said "On that note, I better be off." She only lives a few houses down from my house so she doesn't need to call a taxi or anything like that.
"Byeeeee Em, thanks for tonight I had loads of fun, hope you don't get a too big of a hangover." I say smirking. "You too," she replies blowing a kiss in my direction and starting to walk out of my house. I follow her and wave as she walks off, swaying as she walks. She got to the end of the path then fell over, typical.
"Try not to fall over!" I shout, laughing.
"I'll try!" She said, picking herself off the floor.
I close the door and walk back towards the laptop shaking my head. "Why the hell have I done this?" I whisper to myself. I carry on reading about Josh.
'I'm looking for a brunette who is funny and smart.'
On that note, I flicked off his profile and placed the laptop on the desk. I quickly put the wine glasses in the sink and put the empty bottles in the bin.
I get my phone, turn off all of the lights downstairs, and walk up the stairs. I press the button on my phone and the time read 01:28. Not even that late, but I'm so tired. I put my phone on charge and went straight to bed; starfishing in my king size bed as I always do.
A/N: Sorry this is a bit boring but in the next part Joe will be introduced!!!
