Prince Of My Heart

|chapter 37|

This is Sophia's point of view a week before Eric's POV, enjoy😊😊

Sophia POV

I groan trying to get my groceries into the house, its been a week since the death of the old cat lady and my stay here has been lonely.

I applied for some jobs at some companies but I've not been called yet and am still waiting.

I don't know if I'll go back to London but I have to survive somehow and I need to pay off this debt sooner or later.

I place the two bags on the counter, looking around the house, I place everything in their place.

I stare at the TV when I decide to go out, I lock the door behind me staring across the old ladies house I almost expect to see her in that chair of hers sending me the middle finger but its just empty and lonely.

I sigh and start my walk into the city, it takes time but I get there, walking around I spot a flower shop, I've not seen my family for a while, I think its time I do

I stick my hand in my coat pocket trying to cross the traffic, walking past cars, I make it to the shop, I'm about to enter when I bump into a man.

Shit am sorry!! He says

Its okay I shrug staring up at the man, I feel like I've seen you before? I abruptly say

He laughs, hey birthday girl

I laugh, now I remember that was you!!

He nods, its great seeing you sober

I nod its great being sober

I never got to introduce myself he places his hand in mine in a handshake, he's blue eyes on mine, Henry Porter

Sophia Castillo I smile
So the flowers? Who is the lucky woman?

He smiles raising the red roses in the air, the lucky woman is my mother but because you're sober today, he picks out one rose, this belongs to you

I accept it with a smile thank you

He nods, so you're here to get flowers too?

No am here to get cars I laugh

Am sorry my flirting skills are 10 percent

Where did the remaining 90% disappear to?

With my ex wife he shrugs

Oh-" I shift awkwardly

Am just kidding he laughs, never married no worries, and not a Playboy either.

I nod, I have to get those flowers now, to make it in time-"

Oh, am sorry maybe we could have dinner sometime

I shake my head, I don't know I just got out of a relationship-"

With the prince of England he raises a brow laughing

What?

That's what you said that night, you were drunk I don't think you realise the things you said.

I laugh uncomfortably yea

Like I was saying it should be a not date

He nods, let's both agree its a not date, where I'll come pick you up, have dinner and probably kiss you goodnight

The last part is not happening I laugh

Yea, you don't kiss on the first date he winks

I laugh, you're smooth but it won't work
