ch. XII -- Gentleman or not?

"Here you... are..." Sophie said handing things to Roxy. Letting her eyes wander to Eggsy one more time she continued:

"Or maybe you wanted to change...now?"

"Probably." Roxy nodded and handed new dry clothes to Eggsy.

Sophie only pointed to the dressing rooms. Eggsy handed his dog to Roxy and with small nod went to change.

Blindly reaching for a towel behind her, Sophie called to boy once more:

"Hey... Here! Just.. leave stuff there.." she said throwing towel at him.

"So.. that's his dog?" Sophie asked after a minute of silence while standing with a girl.

"Yes... I'm Roxy." girl smiled at her.

Sophie sent her way a small polite smile, her eyes more likely glued to the pug in her hands. Roxy upon noticing this raised eyebrow and asked:

"Would you like to hold him?"

Sophie's eyes immediately shot up to look at Roxy.

"Can I?" Sophie asked barely above whisper.

"Yeah, I don't think he'll mind." Roxy smiled and handed puppy to Sophie.

"He's so cute.." Sophie chuckled and cooed at the puppy.

"His name is JB." Roxy smiled and rearranged all the bed sheets in her hands.

"Hello, little guy..." Sophie smiled at Roxy and cooed at the small pug again.

"So, let's go?" Eggsy almost seemed to appear of nowhere, his eyes darting between Sophie and Roxy. Somehow those words cut through Sophie's bubble of false idle with JB.

"What?" She asked coming out of her daze.

"He meant that we need to go." Roxy chuckled as she realized that Sophie really liked the dog.

"Oh, yeah..." Sophie smiled awkwardly and recurrently gave JB back to Eggsy, so she felt the need to apologize:

"I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to have dogs..." she said silently and putted her hands behind her back.

"Why not?" Eggsy asked and looked at JB and then back at Sophie.

"Merlin says that I don't have time for dogs." Sophie shrugged and went to door.

Both of Kingsman trainees looked at each other and perfectly saw that the girl in front of them wasn't really happy.

Since Roxy asked if Sophie wants to accompany them back till their quarters, tailor found herself once again in front of those doors.

"I should probably head back to sleep." Sophie said letting out a small yawn.

"Well then, goodnight." Roxy smiled and went back in, leaving Sophie standing outside with Eggsy and his dog.

"I-I should get going..." Sophie pointed behind herself, "it's quite freezing down here."

Eggsy looked up and down her figure. Seeing how poorly she had dressed. And not knowing herself, Sophie held her breath.

"You'll be fine?" Eggsy asked.

"Don't interact with them, understood?" Merlin said before she could disappear behind closed doors. Memory from earlier swam up in her head. Well, Sophie wasn't really one for following orders, well, not always at least.

Without any word she turned around, her straight hair cascading down her back, and went down the corridor. Stopping briefly to check if Eggsy was following her or not she said:

"Are you going to be a gentleman and walk the lady back to her room or not?" and she continued her walk.

Lad quickly looked at the doors to his left and back at Sophie's back and without second thought he was right behind her.

"Took you long enough." Sophie laughed lightly getting in elevator and taking JB from Eggsy as the doors closed.

"You di'it 'cause of my dog, didn't ya?" Eggsy chuckled at her and scratched behind JB's ear.

"Maybe, he's cute." Sophie nuzzled the puppy.

"And me?" Eggsy smirked at her.

"Well... you'll need to convince me." Sophie looked at him and smirked back.

Eggsy looked at her with wide eyes, not really expecting for her to flirt back so easily.

Doors to elevator opened and putting down the pup, Sophie run out of the elevator with her light laugh and JB hot on her heels.

Wait? You thought that this is a love story?

Nah, this is a story how Sophie steals JB, bruv!

Jk

Maybe
