I was having a little chat with one of my business associates when Liam Jordan, my old friend, approached me with a smile. I smiled at him and excuse myself from the person I was talking to earlier, to give Lima a brief hug. We've been friends since high school and when we started our companies we thought why not be business partners as well. This made him my oldest business acquaintance and investor. Although Liam, Evan, Carter and Ian are all partners in their company, Fashion and the city, their main business is the mafia. All of them are Italian Mafias and Evan is the head of their gang, Pericoloso. I know, it might sound intriguing, fearing and uneasy for many people to know that their close friend is in Mafia now but there were two points which eased my mind. 1) He wasn't given a choice. He didn't walk in on this life, he was thrown into it. And 2) He wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for Evan and the gang. He's leading a good life now and on the bright side, they aren't into human trafficking or drugs deals. He works with deals which involve armaments and artefacts.

"You and Sophia, huh?" He asked and I smiled at the mention of her name. "Yeah." I replied. "She's special, you know. She just is." I further said. "I know how you feel. The first time I saw Emma, I was smitten by her grace. One look at her and I knew I had to get to know her." He smiled at the memory of his wife. I want that. I literally want a future with Sophia. It might be scary but you just know when you meet the person who's meant for you. I feel Sophia is that person for me. I don't wanna scare her away by telling her all this, just yet. I wanna take it slow, cementing our relationship more and more over the time.

"Hey, I saw her photoshoot with Stella's the other day, and Emma happened to be in my office that day as well. She actually suggested for her to join her on the ramp at fashion show which is being held after 2 weeks. Emma was gonna talk to her but then we thought you should be the one to crack the good news to her." Liam said and I immediately replied, "That's great, actually. But she just started her modelling career, do you think it'll be too fast?" I asked, my eyebrows touching. "I don't know, man. Only she can reply to that." I nodded understanding what he's saying.

"Hey, look at Sophia. She's down there living her best life." Liam pointed at Sophia, who's downstairs taking a shot after another. Oh God, she's a lightweight. She's gonna have a bad hangover tomorrow morning, shit. "I'll just go and check up on her." I said keeping a hand on his shoulder and making my way downstairs to her. Jennifer was already wasted and Violet was on her way going down that path too. Josh was with her asking her not to drink any further. I approached Soph as her hand reached out for another glass of tequila.

"You've got to stop, Sweetheart." I said and her hand stopped immediately. I kept my hand around her shoulder and before any of us could have said anything, she passed out and her head softly hit my chest. I huffed and picked her up in my arms. Luckily, Kevin saw me and understood the situation. He and a very drunk Jennifer, walked out of the club and Emma approached us. I bid her a quick goodbye and promised to talk to Soph about the ramp walk later. When I walked out of the club, Kevin was already waiting in the car near the entrance. I placed Soph carefully, on the backseat and sat beside her. Kevin first drove us to my house and then took my car to his.

I carried Soph up to my room and placed her on my bed. None of previous girlfriends were allowed in my room ever before and here is Soph, sleeping on my bed with her beautiful brond hair sprawled on my pillow and a serene look on her face. I removed her heels and pulled the cover over her body. I went to the bathroom and changed into some sweatpants and a tee. I then went downstairs, to the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee considering I will be working on some files currently. I quickly made the coffee and walked upstairs to see Soph coming out of the bathroom. She had put on the shirt I was previously wearing. Due to the height difference between us, it's hem ended up to her upper thigh. She looks so innocent in it. I just wanted to kiss the living hell out of her but I controlled myself. Even though she's my girlfriend, I would never touch a drunk woman like that.

She sat on my bed with crossed legs. She pouted towards me gestured me to go near her. I sat next to her and kept my cup on the bedside. I cupped her face and I thought she would hug me but she instead took the coffee cup and bought the hot cup to her lips taking a sip. She scrunched her nose as the liquid hit her tongue and kept the cup on it's previous place. "How do you drink black coffee?" She asked with a pout and continued, "It's so bitter." I chuckled at her cute behaviour and kissed her forehead. "I love your eyes." She commented and pulled herself up to placed a kiss on my eye but ended up planting one on my temple. I smiled at her sentence.

"You need to sleep, love." I said and laid her on the bed once again. "Sleep next to me, please." She requested with doll eyes and I couldn't say 'no' to her. I laid next to her and pulled the covers over us. I pulled her into my arms and she snuggled into my chest, immediately. She hid her face in the crook of my neck while wrapping her arms around my waist. A warm feeling settled in my stomach on seeing how comfortable she was in my arms. I wrapped an arm around her waist and brushed her hair with another, until she fell asleep. I breathed in her smell and smiled at the gorgeous woman sleeping soundlessly beside me. It was pure heaven to have such a beautiful person, inside out, as my girlfriend. It was just wonderful. I shut my eyes soon, enjoying the feeling of Sophia being in my arms and soon allowed sleep to takeover my senses.

Such an eventful Sunday, today was.
