^Jodie and Sophia

P.o.v. Sophia

"Sophia?" he asked.
What is he doing here?

🌸

"Peter?" I asked. "Yes, that's me." he said. "What's wrong?" I asked. "Well uh my car got stuck in the snow." he explained while he pointed at his car a little bit further. "Come on in" I said. He went inside and I closed the door.

"I'll help you" I said. "Thank you so much" he said. He was still wearing his sunglasses. "Can I uh maybe ask a weird question?" I asked nervously. "Yeah sure?" he responded. "Why are you wearing sunglasses? In December?" I continued. He started to laugh and took of those glasses. "Much better. You've beautiful eyes by the way." I said.

I took my coat and my shoes. "I'm ready" I said. I opened the door and walked towards his car. "Let's push" I suggested. He just nodded.

We started to push but the car didn't move. "Okay this is not working out the way I wanted it too" he said disappointed. "Well you can stay at my place if you want. And then we'll call the towing service tomorrow. We're not going to get this fixed tonight, I guess." I explained. He sighed. "Okay, we'll do that" he answered.

"Come on in" I said with a smile. "Do you want something to drink?" I asked him. He shook his head. "This place is nice" he answered. I nodded.

"Let me grab some thing for you" I explained. I turned around and went upstairs. "Sophia?" I heard Peter yelling. "Yeah?" I shouted. "Where are you?" he asked. "Upstairs" I laughed.

"Oh here you are?" he said laughing. "Do you need anything else?" I asked. He shook his head. "Well, goodnight then" I said awkwardly. "Sophia?" he stopped me. I turned around and looked at him. "Thank you for doing this. I really appreciate this." he continued. I smiled at him. "Anytime! Goodnight" I responded. "Night" he whispered.

I closed the door and went downstairs. I cleaned up the mess and also went to bed. What a day!

🌸

It's Sunday morning. I opened my eyes and say Jodie laying down on bed. She was snoring. I went out of bed and opened the curtains. The only thing I could see was snow.

I went downstairs. Peter wasn't awake yet I guess because I didn't saw him. "Let's make some breakfast, Jodie" I said to her.

After a while Peter walked into the kitchen. "Goodmorning" he said with a sexy voice. Oh god? Did I say sexy, I meant uh uh. Jodie looked at me like nope you're not going to get out of this painful and awkward situation.

Okay, Sophia! Focus!

"Goodmorning" I answered with a smile. "I've made us some breakfast" I continued. "You're the best" he responded.

"So why are you here?" he asked. I raised one eyebrow. "What do you mean?" I asked. "It's almost Christmas. What are you doing here all by yourself?" he asked again. "I like being alone" I just simply answered. "Where is your family?" he tried again. "Jodie is the only family I've left" I whispered. "I'm sorry" he apologized.

"What about you?" I asked. "Well I was on my way to my family but then I got stuck in the snow" he explained. "You were on vacation or?" I asked. "Kinda" he responded with a smile. "Where have you been?" I continued. "Paris, Bruxelles, Great Britain and then some states here in Amercia" he said. "Flying around the country nice!" I said and we both started to laugh.

"Can I maybe borrow your phone? Mine is dead?" Peter asked. I nodded and handed him my phone. "Hi. Yes my car is stuck in the snow. I'm in Montana. Almost at the border with Canada. Yes. Okay I understand but... okay I get it. Goodbye" Peter said.

I looked at him when he gave me my phone back. "So?" I asked. "They can't do anything. It's snowing everywhere and they can't get here because of all the snow" he explained. "Okay" I said.

"Can I uh maybe stay here in the meantime?" he asked nervously. I nodded. "Of course. No problem" I answered. He smiled and thanked me.

🌸

I cleaned up the kitchen and sat down in the sofa. "So what do you mostly do out here?" Peter asked. "Make music, read, walk, watch television and so on." I answered. "You make your own music?" he asked with big eyes. "I'm not good" I whispered.

"Can I hear something?" he asked. I looked at him but didn't say a word. This was awkward. "You don't have too" he continued. "Maybe another time" I answered with a smile.

"What do you do for a living actually?" I asked. "Uh uh I don't really have a job I guess" he said nervously. "You guess?" I asked. He laughed a little and looked at his hands. He was nervous about something but I didn't know what it was.

"You?" he asked fast. "I'm a teacher" I responded. "That's amazing" he answered. I nodded. "Yeah I do like it a lot" I said with a smile. He smiled at me.

Was it getting hot in here or ...

Peter looked at his phone again. "Shit" he whispered. "What's going on?" I asked. "Nothing to worry about" he responded with a smile. "I just have to make some calls later today. Can I maybe use your charger?" he asked. I nodded, went to my room and grabbed it. "Here you go" I said. "Thanks" he answered.

"I'm going to take a shower if you don't mind" I said. He looked up and shook is head. "Of course not. It's your house" he responded. I took my phone, turned around and walked to the bathroom.

I couldn't stop thinking about him. What was he doing with me? He had something special. I didn't know him very well but he seems to be the perfect guy. Nice, sweet, handsome and funny. What else do you need?

Although I think he's hiding something from me. I don't know what but there is something strange going on.

I only thought such things could happen in books or movies.

Am I falling in love with this stranger? Oh god! Help me.
