Chapter 41

Sophia POV

I hum to myself pulling my clothes out of my luggage slowly filling my closet, I got here really late after my flight was delayed for almost the whole day, adding plus the six hours flight i got here pretty late.

I finish with my clothes shutting my window close, the moon reflecting into the room I sigh staring at the room every corner reminds me of the memories or the stupid things we've done.

I grab my phone and decide to check on him and no am not calling him, I browse it up and see he's at some charity event in Paris and of course the duchess Eleanor is by he's side looking like the perfect duo, my hand skim across he's face, they are perfect for each other I should just back off, I should just stay away.

I sigh plugging my phone to the charger, switching off my lights I need to get a goodnight sleep for work tomorrow.

*****

Ice cream I write down on the list of things to get for my house later after work fiddling with the paper still in my robe, its still pretty early, I blow dry my hair curling it down my back, hesitantly I apply a bit of makeup to remove any traces of sadness, I need to be cheery I mean I've always been that girl, I don't let things put me down.

I smile into the mirror and realise it looks too fake, am trying to be something I'm not at the moment and I don't like it one bit, what if I get in an actual relationship with Eric will he expect me to change too? Act like the duchess? I quickly clear my head from the awful thoughts

I grab my green sweater long sleeved dress, a dress Henry bought for me, and black panty host, grabbing my black coat and scarf, I quickly pull on my boots, grabbing my keys to the shop and my home i grab the notes on the way, locking the door behind me, ultimately it's still too early, but it won't hurt to surprise them.

My hands in my pocket I quickly pull my hair in a pony tail when the wind blowing makes my hair move haphazardly.

Pulling my lip in my mouth fog covering my sight, I start the short walk, in 20 minutes I get there opening the doors I breath in the smell of tea and coffee, my thoughts long forgotten as I prep, making little noises as I pop the first of my cupcakes into the oven I hear the front bell ring, followed by Andrea and Lara whispering to themselves.

Hey good morning sweethearts I send them a smile the apron over my waist.

Oh my God Sophia!! Lara shrieks pulling me into hug, both of us almost tumbling down

I laugh pulling her close.

And the prodigal son returns Andrea laughs patting my back slightly.

I pout turning to him pulling him into a hug too, I had to come back sooner or later I shrug

How was New York? Lara stares up at me with a wide smile on her face.

Great I made a new friend I shrug and I'm going back Thanksgiving I smile

Me too I was going to go back to Chicago too Andrea nods, my mom has been rambling on about not coming home more.

I nod

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving Lara shrugs but I wish I could come she pouts

You can come with me I shrug, I'll happily take you with me and plus I just got my house back

She smiles, it will be awesome have you seen Johnny or Rosie?

Nope they are still up I smile moving back to the kitchen, but you can open up thou I'm almost done here
