Chapter One

       Sophie

I opened my bedroom door. As i walked through the frame, i hit my toe
"Shit" i exclaimed, that's whats I get for walking bare feet. I got to the kitchen to make myself some tea, some people say they cannot function without coffee in the morning, well, i cant function without tea.

I put the pot on as i wait for it to boil, i had two hours before i get to work. I loved cooking myself breakfast in the morning.

The silence is soothing, I take my tea as I browse through my phone. I read my messages, and found a message from my best friend Gabriella.

Me and Gab met years ago when i went to live with my granny, our friendship wasn't instant, I cant even tell you how we ended up inseparable, but we did. And here we are still each others buds.

We still had that agreement that if we both turned 50 and still single we should move in together. I know, its crazy, but we are crazy, thing is, Gab is in love with her boss who hasn't even realized she exists.

love is cruel sometimes. I look at her as she talks about him sometimes and i cant help but sympathies. Every time we see him on tabloids with a beautiful woman on his arms,Gab gets really hurt and sad.

I wish it was possible to choose the people we love, she would have chosen Aldo. The guy who serves us tea and scones at the downside cafe near our apartments who happens to adore her.

We don't live together, but we are more or less neighbors. I got up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower and dress.

I'm a Realtor and today I have a client who I have to show this beautiful house to. I love my job, but a part of me thinks its because every time I get a new house to show, I dream more about the house I want to own someday.

I should start to save,but I don't have enough money to do so, but It wouldn't hurt to start a savings account. To be putting in just a little amount there, would it?
Anyway. I dress up in a skirt suit, pick up my phone and car keys, opens the door and close its up and leave.

We don't have a parking in the apartment, so I park outside, I don't mind. No one in their right mind would steal my car anyway. It was a small old beetle car that I bought from David, a friend of mine who owns a garage not far away from here. He also gets to check it out for me regularly. The last thing I need is to get into an accident and harm myself and anybody with me or around me, although no one likes riding with me.

Gabs hates my car and rarely rides with me, she prefers her old but still serviceble Chevrolet. Its better than mine. A car is still one of those things I want to buy myself some day, plenty much like the house. Maybe I will buy
myself an Audi, I chuckle to my self, "a girl can dream right?"

I drive to the house. It was located in those beautiful neighborhood that just exudes wealth, maybe my house will be In such a neighborhood, I tell myself.

I almost believe it, but being a girl who came from nothing, and fathered by a man who told her she'll amount to nothing did something to my self esteem, but my granny made up for it. She loves me, she is all I have in this world, which reminds me. I should call her today.

I round my car to the entrance to wait for my client, its almost 9am. I sit up and wait, I'm never late for work I like it that way. I don't want to give my boss any reason to fire me. Although we have never had any disagreement about how I do my job, we have had a few run in.

He came onto me the first month I started working in the company, he is married and has two beautiful girls. Why would he think I wanted to be the other woman? I would rather end up alone than get mixed up with a married man, God knows I would hate myself.
