SOPHIA CASTILLO
"Are you for real?" Annabella gasped, holding onto the dress she had just removed from the rack.
We are currently at a shopping mall with Annabella, shopping for our trip and I was telling her about Jessica.
"Yes, I am. That's not even all, she dared to come into my room to tell me I was just being insecure and jealous of her, I mean can you believe that?" I scoffed.
"She is a crazy one. I haven't seen her face yet but I can tell she is a narcissist," Annabella said.
"I don't even get it. I mean I wasn't okay at first but it wasn't as if I was jealous of her. Adrian doesn't have many friends and I'm the only woman in his life but then I was not just happy seeing him talking and smiling with her and it is not because I am scared I'm going to lose him to her, I just didn't like it," I clarified.
"I mean the fact remains, she was his friend when they were teenagers but that's then and she doesn't know what happened in his life after so many years and she can't just come into his life and make it seem like they have been friends all their lives and are inseparable because they are not," I snarled.
"Totally. She is just trying to get on your nerves. I mean talking about your age and then making sure you don't say anything while she's talking just shows that she doesn't care about you and she does like you," Anna replied.
"And the feeling is mutual. I can't wait for her to get an apartment soon so she leaves. I just hate the way I'm feeling," I sighed.
"It's going to be fine. I mean she can only try but Adrian is yours and he won't even give two fucks about her," Annabella said.
"What do you think of this?" I asked her, showing her the off-shoulder dress I had just taken from the rack.
"It's beautiful. It would look very good on you," she said.
"I want to be more on high-waisted boyfriend jeans and crop top like I don't know I just feel more comfortable in them lately and Adrian says he likes them on me," I blushed to recall how he pulled me closer to him with his hands on my waist and his words; 'Your waist, I could kill for them.'
"I look forward to the day I get my own man so till them, God when," she cried out and I chuckled.
I admired myself in the mirror as soon as I tried on the black high-waisted boyfriend jeans and the crop top I chose earlier. I imagined Adrian by my side right now, whispering how good I look on them.
"Damn Sophia. You are blessed. I mean anything looks good on you," Annabella complimented.
"Thank you," I muttered.
"So after shopping, what's next?" I asked her.
"We will go get lunch. I'm hungry," she said sighing.
"Can you have lunch alone?" I asked her and she stared at me warily.
"What?" I asked perplexed.
"You aren't going to change those and also why won't you have lunch with me? Do you have plans for today?" She asked me.
I bit my bottom lips. I did not have plans today but when I saw myself looking this good, I just want to go and see Adrian right now.
I miss him and I want to see him. It's so crazy how we are almost married for a year and have been in love for almost six months yet I still feel sparks in the pit of my stomach whenever I think of him.
If I am unable to get a hold of him, I panic and when are together, I wrap my arms around him as if, if I let go, he'd vanish.
My feelings for him grow every day
"It's not like I have plans but Adrian..." I trailed off.
I better just tell her the truth that dragging Adrian into all of this.
"I want to go see Adrian," I tell her truthfully.
"Oh. So you want to go see him like this?" She asked and I nodded my head.
"And then what?" She asked as if wanting to find out my motives which I do have but I won't be telling her that, will I?"
"Well. I just want to surprise him and we will have lunch, that's it," I answered but she doesn't look convinced as she kept staring at me as if she could read through me.
"That's fine by me. Ladies keep saying chick before dick but the truth is they'd rather ride on the dick," she snarled but it was obvious she was being sarcastic.
"I'm so sorry. I'm going with you to Greece and I won't be with him for three days which in his words is like three months to him," I defended.
"So you are going to fuck him for the days you won't be able to?" She snarked and I quickly placed my palm to cover her mouth.
"Shh."
"Don't say that. You don't know that I told her and she chuckled.
"Oh come on Sophia. You are married and besides what else do couples do at night other than to..." I placed my palm on her mouth again, preventing her from saying any more.
"You are insane," I chuckled and she shrugged.
"I'm going to get married before I turn twenty-two and that is if I'm lucky to see the man with the right mind or it would be when I'm twenty-three. Life is so fucked up you know," she clicked her tongue as she made her way to check out e clothes.

"Take care munchkin," I waved at Annabella before throwing flying kisses at her.
"Take care and be sure to get enough because I don't want a horny woman walking around me in..."
"Just shut up!" I chuckled, interjecting her.
I can't believe her sometimes. I got into the ride I came with.
"Where to ma'am?" He asked.
"To my husband," I informed him and he began to drive.
All through the ride, I kept myself busy by playing candy crush and I eventually pass the level that I have been having difficulty with for the past two weeks.
"I did it!" I exclaimed in happiness.
"Excuse me, ma'am," my driver spoke, getting my attention.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We are here," he informed me and I realized that we were indeed here.
I took my shopping bag and came out of the car. I was going to try them all in front of him and get to hear him compliment me.
"Thank you," I said to my driver before walking to the skyscraper building.
I reached Adrian's office.
"Welcome ma'am," Adrian's secretary welcomed me. Unlike the first time I came here, I wasn't questioned by anyone and so I made my way to enter her s office.
"He is not in the office." Adrian's secretary informed me.
"He is not? Where did he go to?" I asked.
"He has a guest," Adrian's secretary informed me.
"He will be back soon, he just went to see her off," he added and I stared at him with a questioning look on my face.
"A group of people or just a person?" I asked for clarification.
"Just a lady," Adrian's secretary replied and I nodded my head.
I waited for some seconds, contemplating if I should enter or not, and ended up deciding to enter.
I entered his office and went to sit on the couch while waiting for him. I decided to play the next level of candy crush so as not to be idle.
I heard the door open and with a smile on my face, I got up from the couch to run and hug him when I saw her beside my bum and my mood instantly went sour.
What was she doing here? She knows she doesn't have any business with Adrian.
I looked away from Jessica, refusing to ruin my mood and smiled at Adrian.
"Hey baby," I said, now walking towards him, refusing to run and hug him. It's all thanks to her and her gift for knowing her to ruin my mood without having to do much.
"Hi, my love. I wasn't expecting you here. What brings you here and why didn't you inform me?" He asked.
"I wanted to surprise you," I told him and he pulled me for a hug.
"You don't know how relieved I am right now. Goodness, you make me feel so much at ease. Your hugs are the best," he sighed and I smiled, melting into his arms.
He pulled back after a while and kissed my lips and I heard Jessica cough.
"Can you guys go a little slow? There is a single lady here," she said, chuckling and I didn't need anyone to tell me that she was chuckling to cover up how she feels.
"I'm sorry but you will be seeing a lot of this because, with this woman, I do not know how to control myself. I can barely control myself, that's how crazy I am when it comes to her," he replied and a proud smile crept on my face.
"Same for me. That's why I decided to surprise you, so tell me, how do I look?" I asked, moving back a little so that he can take a good look at me.
"Damn sweetheart! Did you get more of this just to personally torture me because this is how you would love to torture me then I'd love to be tortured all the days of my life," he said and I blushed.
Jessica interrupted again by clearing her throat and all I wanted was her home this instance.
"I am still here," she reminded me as if we didn't know.
"If you do not me asking, how important is what you want to covey with Adrian?" I asked.
I had to ask because I wanted privacy with him and that means she has to go.
"It's only not but it is..."
"That's good then. Can I ask you for a favor? Like can you come back later and speak to him because I spend some time with my sweetheart," I pleaded although it wasn't sincere on my part.
"I...I..."
"Let's talk later Jessica. My baby wants my full attention and I'd have to give it to her. Is that alright?" He asked and I couldn't be more grateful.
How much I love this man!
"Sure... Okay. I will just go," she stuttered.
A smile formed on my face as I watched her leave, she kept stealing glances at us while she walked away and I kept staring at her, wanting to see her leave before I speak.
I sighed when the door closed. I played with Adrian's button.
"I knew you are naughty. You only come here when you want something, don't you?" He smirked and I shrugged.
"Can we have lunch after this and then when we get home, you will see my try out the outfits I got today," I told him.
"That's fine by me. So shall we?" He smirked.
"Relax," I chuckled.
"No. Don't tell me that. You started it," he said, grabbing me by my waist and I giggled.
"Are you expecting anyone?" I asked him and he shook his head.
"No. I don't have anything to do in the next two hours so you can have me," he said and I smirked.
"I can always have you. I mean who is the king of quickie again?" I chuckled, recalling how he addressed himself some months back when he was horny.
"Goodness, you never forget," he said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear before leaning in to kiss me on my lips and I moaned almost immediately.
