Bad Desire: New Beginnings - Fast Forward

Chapter 32

"I'm fine here. I'm not bothered about going." Aaron insisted as Sophie was practically pushing him towards the bedroom to get ready.

Their friendship group were all going out for the night and for once pretty much everyone was going to be there. However, because it had only been a few weeks the idea of leaving Phoebe with someone else didn't seem all that attractive. Therefore, Sophie had decided to stay home and was trying to force Aaron to go out with them.

She knew deep down that he wanted to go but was just worried about leaving herself and Phoebe. Therefore, she was trying her utmost hardest to make him give in, that of which she knew she would be able to do.

"Seriously Aaron, just go. You don't need to be here, Phoebe will be asleep in an hour so you will be missing out for no reason."

"But you could be going." Aaron stressed, feeling as though it was a little unfair that he would be out having fun and she wouldn't.

"Honestly I'm exhausted. I don't feel like going anyway, so you have to."

As they finally reached the bedroom, Sophie began pulling about in Aaron's wardrobe to find something for him to wear. Finally deciding on that perfect choice, she threw them his way.

"Get dressed and go." She insisted.

As he stood there reluctantly, still not convinced enough about leaving them, Sophie made her way over to him. She then grabbed the bottom of his shirt before pulling it up and over his head and reaching for his jeans; she began undoing them and by this point Aaron couldn't help but laugh.

"You know you're just making me want to stay more." He reached forward to press his lips to her neck.

"Na ah! No way. You're going to have to work for that." Sophie pressed her hand to his chest.

"And how do you propose I do that?" He raised his brows in a challenging manner.

"Go out." Sophie grinned in return and that had not been the answer he was expecting. "Have fun." She continued as she left him to finally get changed while she grabbed his aftershave from the side and began spraying him with it. "And do not come back sober."

After about an hour of back and forth between the couple, Sophie had finally managed to persuade Aaron to go out. He had left a short while ago and she was now left snuggled up with a sleeping Phoebe on the sofa while she caught up on the many shows she had missed out on due to her previous work schedule.

This whole set up was so strange for her because before Phoebe, Sophie rarely had a spare moment to just relax. Most of the time she was either at work, travelling for different events or out with friends; it was very rare that she ever took a moment to herself.

It was something that she had most definitely needed though because there was now this comforting vibe around her and she felt as though she had finally destressed the many years of manic that her life had become.

Once Sophie had managed to sit and binge watch a series for way too long that her eyes were beginning to hurt, she finally braved getting up and attempted to carry Phoebe to bed without causing her to wake. She had been successful and the two year old was fast asleep, finally peaceful enough to make it through the night without waking up in an emotional state.

Then with Sophie's inability to sit and watch anymore TV, she had found herself engrossed in a skype chat with her friend from work, Felix, whom she had been missing like crazy.

"How is motherhood? You make the damn hottest mum I know." Felix fanned his hand in front of his face.

"It's the first thing in my life that I have no control over. It's so unpredictable." Sophie laughed and it was the truth.

It had been rewarding but tough and she had been struggling to accept that she couldn't do anything to prevent the bad days from happening.

"Oh no, someone grab the diaries before you lose your mind!" Felix took the mick, knowing from how Sophie was at work, how much it must be killing her. "She's beautiful though, I've loved the photos..." Felix then went onto say when Sophie's attention had been drawn elsewhere.

"Hello? Earth to Sophie? Is your phone more important than the great that is I... Felix!"

It was clear that Sophie wasn't listening to a word he was saying because her eyes had widened and her mouth physically dropped open.

"What the actual fuck?!" She bit and all calm, mother mode surrounding her had suddenly vanished.

"Woah babe, what's the drama? Tell me!" Felix's face was literally pressed against his own laptop screen as if it was going to allow him to see her phone through the camera.

"No fucking way." She continued to flip out to whatever was displayed across her screen.

"Carter you need to give some details here."

Felix's last attempt was successful because Sophie suddenly held her phone up in front of the camera so the video could play through again. One of the guys had videoed a scene that was currently happening on the night out and sent it out to everyone. Whether or not he meant for it to go to Sophie was questionable but either way she could not even begin to explain how fuming she was.

"Fuck. Who is the blonde bitch?!" Felix showed the same anger as he squinted his eyes to try and make better sense of it.

Pulling her phone away from the screen, Sophie threw it across the room before turning to Felix.

"One of my best friends." She bit, causing Felix's mouth to drop open.
