In the middle of nowhere

Chapter 3 ✔️

^ House, imagine that you can go upstairs And it's a little bit bigger. 😉

P.o.v. Sophia

I turned off the shower and got dressed. When I was ready, I went downstairs to the kitchen.

I grabbed a glass of water and wanted to ask Peter if he wanted to drink something to, when all of a sudden I heard him yelling. "Mom" he sighed deeply. "No I'm fine. Yeah I know I should have been home by now. I'm trying. No I don't know when I will be back, there is a snowstorm. I'm at Sophia's place. She is a lovely girl mom, no worries. No of course I didn't tell her who I am. No I don't think so. Okay bye mom. Love you too" he responded.

What was that about? No of course I didn't tell her who I am? What? Is he serious? He's just Peter right?

Oh god I swear if it turns out that he is a serial killer, I will kill him with my bare hands.

Why do I always get the bad guys? Seriously?

"Oh hi Sophia" Peter said nervously when he saw me in the hallway. "Hi" I sighed softly. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Nothing. I responded, I shook my head and went downstairs again.

"Are you sure?" he asked concerned. Oh is he stalking me as well now? I looked him and smiled. "I'm positive" I answered.

"So uh, when are you leaving?" I tried to switch the subject. He looked surprised at me. "The snow is melting so I'll be out of here in a few days, I guess." he responded. I just nodded, took my glass of water and went to the living.

I sat down in the sofa when Jodie jumped on my lap. "She's a sweetheart" Peter said. I looked at him and smiled. "Yes, she is" I responded simply.

"So uh, what are we going to do?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "I should probably take a shower" he responded. I looked at him and nodded. He turned around and walked away.

Okay this was not going great. What would happen if he'd found out that I know about him not being just Peter.

I started to panic. Jodie looked at me with a 'do you mean this' face. I whispered "What if he's a murderer, Jodie?". She barked. "Okay okay! I get it. You think I'm overreacting" I said quietly. Jodie gave me a kiss and I laughed.

"Let's go outside" I suggested. Jodie barked again. She loved the snow. She's now three years old and she's very playful. I made a snowball and threw it in Jodies direction. It ended right on her nose. She looked at me.

"You're going to regret that" Jodie said. What can she talk now? I'm hallucinating. Although the voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw Peter stand there. "Watch out" he said. I turned around again but it was too late. Jodie jumped against me and we were both laying down in the snow.

Peter ran towards me and started to laugh. I raise one eyebrow. "Oh come on. This is funny" he tried. I gave him a fake smile.

He gave me his hand to stand up but I just pushed him. Now we were all laying down in the snow. I started laughing very loud. "I have to admit you were right. This is funny" I said laughing. He looked angrily at me but then started laughing as well.

He gave me a grin. "What?" I asked. I was starting to get nervous. Is this the moment that he'll kill me. He sat straight and looked serious.

Oh god. Jodie I love you, I'll never forget you. You can bark at my funeral. I was too scared to move.

Suddenly Peter started to tickle me. "Sto... STOPP HAHAH STOP, PLEASE!" I yelled loud. He didn't listen of course. I tried to stand up and run away but he grabbed my wrist. He pulled me back and I fell down again. But this time I was sitting on his lap.

He stared at me. He had beautiful eyes. He looked at my lips and his head came closer. Was this the moment I would kiss a serial killer?

He was only a few inches away when Jodie barked. I got scared and yelled really loud. "I uh I'm sorry" I said awkwardly. I stood up and almost ran inside. Jodie followed me. "Thanks" I whispered to her.

I opened the door and of course I had to fall again. Oh god, well that must have been attractive. Peter stood up and ran towards me. "Are you okay?" he asked concerned. I nodded and smiled at him.

When we were inside, I turned on the radio.

- The snowstorm has ended officially. In a few days the snow will be gone. We want to thank everyone for staying inside these days. There haven't been any serious accidents. We recommend you to drive carefully. It still can be a little slippery. We hope you'll all make it in time for the Christmas parties. We wish you a merry Christmas. -

Peter sighed loudly. I looked at him and raised one eyebrow. He turned around and walked away. What was going on?

I stood up and followed him. He sat down on his bed. "What's wrong?" I asked. He looked at me. "I should leave in a few days" he answered. I nodded. "You'll still be there in time. No worries" I said with a smile. I punched him softly. "That's not it" he continued laughing "I liked it here, in the middle of nowhere".

"I like you, Sophia" he whispered.
