Bonds Built (Completed)

41. Happiness all around!

Sofia let out a breath as the had finished up filming the last shoot for the day, she was on this particular show as a friend until baseball wives started filming. And with her being a friend on the show of course she had to bring some type of drama.

She wasn't a fan of having to create drama but it was bringing in a check. She was happy she was free to finally go, it had been a month since she first got the gig and she had finally seen some money out of it so she was meeting up with Xavier after this.

She made her way to her car as she texted him letting him know she was headed to the restaurant that the two agreed on. He ultimately ended up making it there before her as she entered the restaurant and was escorted to the table that he was at.

She smiled as she saw him as he stood up to give her a hug. His cologne lingered as the two sat down. They ordered food and drinks and then caught up on each other's lives as she told him about filming and everything that had taken place as well as her being offered a nice little modeling gig for one of the girls clothing line, "everything is really on the up and up for me. It's crazy because I really feel like I don't deserve it." She let out.

Xavier furrowed his eyebrows as he took a drink of his wine. "Why you feel like you don't deserve it? You worked for it."

"I guess because I was just down so bad like a month ago, and just everything with Mateo." She shook her head, looking back on it she knew she did some sheisty ass shit.

X shook his head, "it's the past, let it stay there. You just have to do better from here on out. But you have to be prepared for when someone pulls that shit out though, as you get out there more people are definitely going to bring some of that shit up. They love to dig into the past."

She knew he was right but that wasn't even something she wanted to think about right now. She nodded in understanding. "Well if you talk to Mateo can you tell him I'm sorry, like really sorry."

X sighed, "you better off telling him yourself. We haven't talked in over a month." Sofia hated to hear that their friendship went to shit, especially considering how close they used to be.

She placed her hand on top of his. "I'm sorry to hear that." Xavier waved it off, "it's all good, it is what it is. It's life." He said as he picked up his glass of wine finishing it. He had bought a bottle, so there was plenty more.

"Just know I'll always be here." She let out with her eyes on his. X laughed lightly, "I know." The two ate and finished the bottle of wine before leaving.

Sofia was tipsy by the time they left and Xavier could easily tell that Sofia was still growing a liking for him. No matter how wrong Mateo might have felt like Xavier was with the way he moved, he would never be that wrong and mess with Sofia.

He walked her to her car as she turned to hug him, the hug lingering longer than it should have, he pulled away as Sofia grabbed his hand. "Look Sof, I respect you and all that. You're a beautiful woman but we can't go down that road. You dated Mateo and you know that."

She dropped his hand. "I know." She let out, looking slightly embarrassed. "But thanks for the dinner." He continued, "I just think we need to take a step back a little bit." She nodded in understanding as Xavier walked to his car.

She sighed as she got in hers, she wouldn't call this a lost. Everything was still looking up, the only thing that wasn't was her love life. "This a time to fall in love with you." Sofia spoke aloud to herself as she started her car and made her way to her apartment.
