Chapter 4
Sophie pov
The minute I hung up the phone it rang again.
"Hello" I said hoping it was Sian calling me.
"Webster, you were supposed to give me your article 2 days ago, what the hell is going on" my boss yelled at me.
"I know sir I'm sorry, my wife got into a car accident, because of the weather" I stated, he never like the fact that I was gay. I had to work twice as hard as the other employees just to get a chance.
"So? I thought you were separated" he asked me as anger hit me.
"That's beside the point, she got into an accident and I was called down to the hospital" I stated as he scoffed.
"You're a journalist Webster and journalists have deadlines so get your bloody act together. I want that article on my desk by 3pm" he shouted at me as he hung up on me. I groaned out of frustration.
I made myself a cup of tea and sat behind my desk. I looked at my laptop and started typing. I was halfway through my article as I heard the door slam. I looked behind me and saw Rosie standing in the middle of my living room.
"Hey Soph" she said but I ignored her. "Sophie I'm sorry" she said to me.
"I don't have time to argue with you, I have to get this done" I stated as she snorted. "What" I asked angrily.
"Nothing, just that if you would've spend a bit less time behind that thing, the other night wouldn't have happened" she stated as my eyes popped out of my head.
"What? You're saying it's my fault that you brought me children to a bar and got drunk, while you were supposed to watch them" I yelled at her.
"No…I'm just trying to make a point" she said to me as I scoffed at her.
"Well don't cause trust me I've heard your point… How could you! I trusted you with them, and you betrayed my trust…. AND Sian found them with you…. I could've lost my kids because of you Rosie!" I yelled at her as she was fiddling with her fingers.
"I know" she said quietly. "I'm sorry" she said to me as I scoffed at her.
"SORRY? What if something happened to them, they could've gotten alcohol poisoning, or hurt or kidnapped… for god sakes" I stated.
"Please Sophie just give me one more chance" she pleaded.
"A chance at what?" I uttered as she sighed.
"At being in your life, please let me be your sister" she said to me as I got confused.
"I'm not cutting you out of my life…. I'm just not letting you alone with my kids again…. EVER" I yelled at her as a tear dripped down her cheek. "Now if you don't mind I really need to finish this, if I wanna keep my job" I stated as I turned back to my laptop.
"Ah here's my hard working wife" I heard someone say behind me. I turned around and saw Sian smirking at me. I glanced at the clock 23pm as she came towards me and wrapped her arms around me resting her head on my shoulder. "You coming to bed soon" she murmured as she kissed my neck.
"Yeah 10 more minutes and I'll be in" I said to her as she pouted.
"Can't you get up 10 minutes early so you can finish it" she moaned as I chuckled.
"No cause getting out of bed while you're using every trick in the book to keep me in it is even harder" I stated as she sighed.
"Fine" she sighed as she let go of my shoulders. "I'll just have to satisfy myself in the meantime." She stated as she let her night gown fall and walked butt naked to our bedroom. I typed as fast as I could to go and join my wife.
"HELLOOO Sophie" I heard Rosie jammer as I got snapped out of the memory.
"What" I snapped at her.
"Well you're smiling while you're writing an article about neglect; I mean not really a happy topic…." She rambled as I just rolled my eyes. I looked at my screen and read the last word I typed.
'Sian' it said as I groaned and hit the delete button. "I'm moving on" my mind screamed.
"Right…. Rosie we're going out tonight" I stated as she looked at me confused.
"Okay…" she said as she looked at me suspiciously and narrowed her eyes.
"I need to get out there again" I stated as she frowned.
"I don't get it, I thought you were trying…" she started saying as I interrupted her.
"Well things change" I snapped at her.
"Okay fine, but are you sure? You've just been…" she started saying again.
"Yes Rosie I'm fine okay" I said to her as she sighed.
…
Sian pov
"Hello" I said into the phone as I fixated my gaze on Derek.
"Hi … uhm it's Laura" the girl said as I smiled.
"Oh hi, how are you" I said to her as I saw Derek frown and shake his head. "What" I mouthed as he sighed.
"I'm fine you?" she asked me.
"Uhm yeah I'm okay" I smiled.
"So you're probably wondering why I'm calling" she said to me.
"Yeah" I chuckled.
"Well since you didn't call me I thought I'd call you and invite you to come to Casa Rosa with me tonight" she said as I hesitated.
"Yeah I meant to call you, but I got into an accident… I'm sorry it slipped my mind." I said to her.
"Oh right are you okay" she asked me.
"Yeah I'm fine just a broken arm and a couple bumps and bruises" I stated.
"Well do you feel up to go out tonight or do you wanna leave it a bit" she replied.
"Uhm well if I manage to get a babysitter I might take you up on that" I flirted with her.
"Great uhm let me know if you can make it" she said to me as I chuckled.
"Sure I'll call you in a bit to let you know" I said to her.
"Okay see you later" she said to me as I hung.
"What?" I said to him as he sighed. "Look I like her okay, and it's just a date" I said to him.
"Whatever you say babe" he said to me.
"Look could you babysit tonight?" I asked him.
"If I said no, would you take it as a sign to work things out with Sophie" he asked me.
"No probably not" I stated.
"Then I'm babysitting" he sighed as I smiled at him.
…
"Hi" I said as I opened the door.
"Hi… you look really pretty" Laura said as I smirked.
"You too" I said to her. She was wearing a black dress with high heels. Laura had blonde hair and dark blue eyes. She was taller than me and very pretty. She took my hand in hers and led me to the car where she opened the door for me.
"Wooaw such a gentle woman" I sniggered as she chuckled.
"I do try" she smirked as she shut the door.
We arrived at Casa Rosa around 9h45pm and the place was already packed. I looked around and didn't really see any familiar faces. Sophie and I used to come here after we'd just gotten married, we had some good times here. My gaze froze at the bar when I saw a very familiar brunette sitting at it.
"You okay" Laura murmured as she stroked her fingers over my knuckles.
"Yeah fine, I just thought I saw someone I know" I stated as I looked at the bar again, but the brunette had disappeared.
"And have you" she asked me as I turned my gaze to her.
"No I haven't" I said to her as she smiled. We went to sit at a table and ordered our drinks.
"Did it work out? with your friend I mean" she asked me as I furrowed my brows.
"My friend?" I murmured as she chuckled.
"The one you left our date for" she said as I realized what she was talking about.
"Oh right… uhm no not really, but it's complicated" I smiled as she raised her eyebrows.
"You can tell me you know, I'm a great listener" she said as I smiled at her.
"I know…. But right now I want to do summit else" I said to her as I leaned in and kissed her lips. I liked the kiss, it was nice and comfortable.
"Wow" she said as we pulled out of the kiss and I smiled.
"Rosie don't you dare take that drink" I heard a familiar voice shout, too familiar. I opened my eyes and saw Sophie giving Rosie a lecture about what I can only imagine being her drinking. As Rosie met my eyes she tugged at Sophie's arm. Soon enough Sophie followed Rosie's gaze and settled on me. I gulped. "Great fucking great, I'm having a date with a beautiful girl and my wife is here too" I thought.
"Are you okay Sian" I heard Laura say as she put her hand on mine as I saw Rosie coming over much to Sophie's protest.
"Hiya" she cheered.
"Hi Rosie" I mumbled as I looked at Laura. "Laura this is Rosie, my friend you asked about before" I stated.
"O hiya" she said as she held out her hand, but Rosie didn't take it. I frowned at her, but it didn't seem to have any effect on her behavior.
"Are you on date Sian babes" she asked me as she raised her eyebrows in venom.
"Uhm yeah I am" I stuttered as I saw Sophie coming over.
"Well she's hot, do you find her hotter than I dunno …. My sister maybe…. Ah hey Soph" she said as Sophie came over.
"Stop it Rosie" I snapped at her as Sophie was gesturing her to leave us.
"Sian is this your ex or summit" Laura chuckled as it only fueled Rosie's anger.
"No I am not her ex, this one here though is…. well technically she's not …. Cause you're still married" she stated as I sighed. I looked over at Laura who was looking at Sophie in shock.
"This is your wife, hold on Sophie THE Sophie" she asked quietly as I nodded. "Excuse me" she muttered.
…
Sophie pov
"…. THE Sophie" the girl asked in shock as she excused herself. I smiled at what she said, seeming I still had an impact on Sian's life. Sian caught me smiling and almost glared me to death as I quickly hid my smile.
"Hi" I said quietly as I could see she was really angry. "Sian I'm sorry we shouldn't…." I started saying as she interrupted me.
"What do you want Sophie" she spat at me.
"Nothing" I said with a high pitch voice.
"Then can you please leave, cause I think you've already ruined my date" she said to me as the word date cut me like a knife.
"That was a date" I laughed as she frowned at me.
"Yeah it was" she snapped back as I suddenly felt very jealous.
"Well that didn't take long" I muttered.
"Excuse me" she hissed at me.
"Where are the kids if we're both here" I said trying to change the subject. "There at Derek's" she stated. "Does she know you have kids" I asked sternly.
"YEAH she does okay" she stated. "Has she met them" I said trying to hide the venom in my voice. "Not that it's any of your business but no she hasn't yet" she stated as I raised my eyebrows. "None of my business? Sian of course it's my business…. I wanna know if my kids are going to meet your latest floozy" I spat at her as her eyes widened.
"I can't believe you just said that" she yelled at me.
"Well I can't believe you just said my children weren't my business" I snapped back.
"Well they haven't been the latest year what's so different about this time" she snarled at me as I backed down. That hurt, and it was still stinging.
"We should go I'm sorry for ruining your evening… come on Rosie" I said as I tugged at her arm.
"Soph" I heard her yell, but I kept walking.
…
"Babe stop staring" Rosie said to me as I turned my gaze away from Sian. I frowned and fiddled with my hands. "You're jealous aren't you" she said to me as I sighed.
"Well how would you be if your wife was snogging the face off some girl?" I stated as she gave me sympathetical smile.
"You wanna see if it works both ways" she asked me as I furrowed my brows. "What are you on about?" I asked her as she smirked at me.
"Well let's see how she reacts when she sees you snogging the face off some girl" she stated as I smiled shyly and snorted. "Yeah let her crush my heart even more, when I see she couldn't care less" I stated as Rosie rolled her eyes.
"Babe you've been married for…. well for a very long time, you don't just turn the button and wake up one day and decide not to love someone anymore" she stated as I sighed.
"Yeah but it was just overnight was it?" I said to her. "Well it can't hurt to try right" she said to me as I sighed and nodded. "Okay" I sighed as she grinned and clapped her hands.
….
"Okay so you're gonna go over there and ask her to dance okay" Rosie said to me.
"What if she says no" I said nervously. "So? You're a total babe, just move on to the next one" she said to me as I burst out in giggles. I made my way to a very sexy looking redhead and asked her to dance. To my surprise the redhead didn't decline and led me to the dance floor.
We had been swaying to the music with, grinding into each other. She placed herself behind me and snaked her hands around my waist as she started kissing down my neck. I sneaked a glance at Sian who was staring in my direction, trying to hide her discomfort. Sarah or what was her name turned me around and kissed my lips forcefully. I put my hands behind her neck and pulled her close as her hands rested on my bum and squeezed it gently. She started kissing me neck as I focused my gaze onto Sian, whose eyes were full of hurt. She looked at me and turned her head as she ran out leaving her date clueless.
I pushed Sarah away and I ran after her as I ended up on the outside of the club. "Sian" I yelled as she turned around. "What! What do you want Sophie" she spat at me as she was on the verge of tears.
