Sophia P.O.V
I really enjoyed well today.
All credit goes to Mr. Steve.. sorry,... my husband.
I forgot to check the time and it's already dark and we are still in the beach by staring at the sea.
I sat infront of Steve who held me tight in his arms.
It will be cold during night when we are at the beach but now I am feeling warm in his arms.
Today, he did a lot for me.
Not only today, he did many things up to now.
And I totally forgotten my birth date by losting myself in his love,care and affection.
Such a cute, innocent, handsome man made his time for me by keeping his work aside.
And I got confirmation that I am in love with him and also he too loves me.
I should tell him about my love and I will.
I may lost my father but God gave me Steve in return.
How can a person always be so stubborn every time!
His cute eyes, innocent smile, and his perfume is the main reason for my dreams and thoughts about him.
He isn't different because the person who holds me in his arms every night doesn't feel hesitate or afraid or shy to hold me in public too.
God knows best.
Business is business and family is family for him.
I turned my head to the rest where everyone feeling sleepy.
I chuckled and turned my head to Steve.
He is staring at the sea.
If I give him time he may shift the stars to earth and sea to sky.
" I am sleepy Steve... " I whispered by resting my head on his chest.
" Let's head back to our rooms guys " Mr. James said and everyone raised up except us.
I gazed at them.
" Good night Mr and Mrs. Steve " they bid us by leaving.
I held his shirt.
He leaned forward and lifted me into his hands by raising up from there.
I tilted my head away from him and quickly rested my head on his chest by wrapping my hands around his neck and closed my eyes.
I rejected to cut a birthday cake but Steve also forced me to do that in the afternoon.
But now I need to take rest.
I am tired.
Finally we reached our room.
He kicked the door and walked in.
He dropped me slowly and safely on the bed by adjusting the pillows.
" Do you need anything to eat? " he asked me but I closed my eyes by replying " No ".
He placed his hand on my forehead and moved his fingers.
He then kissed my forehead and walked away towards his wardrobe.
He removed his shirt and locked himself in the bathroom.
Should I change my dress?..
I am really feeling tired and I can't take off my outfit by myself but I should because it's getting unwell for me.
I slowly sat upright and walked towards the wardrobe like a drunken man.
I took out my night wear and quickly changed myself.
I fallen on the bed with buttoning my shirt.
I rested my head on the pillow and closed my eyes but I am not into sleep.
I am trying my best to sleep but I can't.
Huff! I understood that I am missing my pillow.
Where is my pillow?..
Where is steve?..
What is he doing inside!..
I stared at the bathroom door.
He finally came out by wearing a T-shirt and night panties.
It's true, he has a perfect body.
It's not true that he is a cold hearted... in that case I take my words back.
He turned off the lights and sat aside of me by staring at his phone.
I am pretending like a sleeping kid in front of him.
I moved my head and he shifted his look to me from his mobile.
" When did she changed her outfit? " he murmured.
I closed my eyes.
" Sophia.. you are really a kid " he whispered but how can I be a kid.
I am grown up, married and may I will be a mom in future.
Really.. I will be a mother, this creating a feeling in me.
Suddenly his touch at my novel stopped my thoughts.
I quickly opened my eyes where he is removing my shirt buttons.
What he is doing?.
Steve.. Oh no!
....
Wait...
He isn't removing.
He is buttoning my shirt.
I lifted my head to a bit up and understood that I misbuttoned.
Huff!!!
It's my fault.
" Day by day she is being a kid.. " he murmured.
I chuckled in myself.
He finished correcting my mistake and lifted his head to me.
He adjusted the pillow under my head.
May he now deserves more from me.
Should I do this!
Is this a perfect time!
But he won my heart before.
" You should need an extra brain to store the instructions about your daily works.. " he said in between my thoughts.
" But don't worry, my brain is there for you.. and you always makes me cool with your cute and innocent looks " he whispered at my face.
He then kissed on my forehead.
" I love you princess " he said and I am stunned by listening to his words.
He never told his feelings for me when I am in my sense.
He is really a stupid.
" I am trying to say this to you but I am afraid of your reaction for this.. but I can bravely tell my feelings for you when you are asleep. I always love you more than anything.... once again HAPPY BIRTHDAY and Love you princess " he said.
I quickly held his t-shirt and yanked him onto me closer.
I slowly opened my eyes and he widened his eyes.
" What if I pretend like sleeping? " I asked him.
He stared at me for a second and smiled.
" Are you really afraid of telling me your love? " I whispered.
" Yes... 'cause I-I didn't want our friendship to s-shut down " he said with breaks.
" But finally I expressed my feelings princess.. it's up to you " he whispered and moved away from me.
But I fasten my speed and yanked him on to me.
I quickly stopped him from talking with a kiss.
I took a brave step.
I shuttered his mouth with mine and my hands made their way around his neck by tightening my grip at his t-shirt.
He widened his eyes and didn't responded for seconds.
" I love you too.. " I yelled in between.
He chuckled and quickly pulled me closer to his chest by my waist.
But I didn't want to take a step ahead of this.
He moved his hand inside of my shirt at my waist.
His touch makes me to want more and I can't control myself.
I tightened my grip at his shoulder.
We both moved our heads away and stared at each other.
He removed his hand at my waist.
Does he disappointed?...
No.. No, Steve I didn't want to make you disappointed but I need some time.
I stared into his eyes.
He placed his hand on my cheek and cleared the side hair from my face.
" This day will be memorable forever princess... and I didn't force you about intimacy. I need you to be happy forever and you should come out to know that you too have a person like your father.. " he said.
" I known that before and I am really happy now.. I love you " I said by cupping his face.
He smiled and I cuddled into his embrace.
" I love you too princess " he said by pulling me closer and covered the bedsheet.
I never thought that I too fell in love and that love comes true...
Steve.. he occupied an important character in love chapter of my life book. And he will continue playing that character through out my life book ends.
He shown me many things and had treated me with great things.
What can I gift him in return?....
For what he feels more happy?....
Does a baby of us makes him really happy?....
.... if his happiness and my gratitude towards him is tied up with my virginity...
..then I am ready to give that for him.
" Stop thinking Sophia... it's already 11'O clock.. you are crossing your daily schedule " he whispered at my ear.
How can he know every thought and move of mine!...
And..
Did we came here to sleep!!!
I smiled and hugged him tightly.
" Good night Steve " I said but he didn't replied.
I tilted my head to see him.
He slept.
Such a cute, innocent and handsome man sacrificed his life for me.
He really deserves more than more.
I chuckled and kissed him on his cheek.
" Good night princess " he replied and I chuckled by hugging him more tighter.
------------ next day morning...
I slowly opened my eyes and gazed at Steve where he is still sleeping.
I lifted my head and gazed at the clock behind him.
It's almost 8'O clock.
We slept for high time, we planned to explore this town but this young man is still sleeping like a tortoise.
I slowly took off his hands from me not to disturb him and I sat upright by turning my head to him.
I didn't want to disturb his sleep but I should because we will be late.
" Steve.. " I lowered my voice and called him.
He didn't responded.
I called again but no response.
I slowly placed a kiss on his cheek.
But no response.
I am irritated.
I leaned onto him to take the water bottle behind him on the table.
I finally got hold of the bottle.
There isn't much water in the bottle.
Better I won't spoil the bed.
I gazed at his cute face and quickly spilled the rest in bottle onto Steve.
He woken up quickly and I got off from the bed with in a blink of an eye.
He cleared the water on his face and looked around.
I stared at him by laughing.
He quickly took off the bed sheet from him by adjusting his hair.
I released the bottle by laughing.
" Sophia... " he yelled and my stomach may blast by laughing.
" Good morning Steve.. " I yelled by pretending not to laugh.
" what?... " he yelled.
" Seriously.. you took a brave step to bid me Good morning. You should pay for this " he said by resting his hands on his eyes.
" Are you surprised of having a special good morning! " I said.
He got off from the bed with different look.
" Hey.. I am really sorry Steve " I said by moving back where he is stepping front.
" You know.. you did a huge mistake by waking me up " he said by moving front.
But why is it a mistake if I wake him up!..
" Oooh nooo.. " I yelled where I stepped my foot on water which coming out from the bottle I dropped.
But I didn't fallen down.
Someone held me.
And who else it may be...
Mr. Steve.
I turned my head to him.
" ... " I am out of my words.
He stared at me and still holding me.
I gripped his t-shirt tightly.
He tightened his grip at my waist and yanked me towards him.
He pulled me closer and tucked me to his chest in his arms.
I placed my palm on his chest and now I can feel his heart beat which is beating a bit faster.
And my heart fasten its speed when he moved his hand to my cheek.
He slowly moved towards the bathroom door along with me.
" What do you think about me?.. I am a CEO and you are playing with me like this.. " he muttered by clearing the hair from my face.
" What do you think about me!.. I am a wife of CEO and I have all rights to play with him " I whispered 'cause his fingers are dancing through the way towards my neck line.
" Oh! Then I too have a right be romantic with my wife... " he said and quickly turned me around by tucking my back to his chest.
" Tell me should I punish or reward my wife for disturbing my sleep " he whispered at my ear and I got goosebumps when his breathe touched my neck.
I held his hands tighter.
He is over dreaming.
He did definitely take revenge instead of being romantic.
He made his way from my cheek to my neck.
His lips touching my neck and I am getting out of my control.
Automatically I closed my eyes and whispering his name which can't able to hear.
" Excuse your wife for this time.. she won't repeat it again " I muttered of being uncontrollable by his attempts.
He bitten at where my neck joins my shoulder.
" Ouch... " I yelled.
" My wife has every right on me and I did enjoy everything done by her.. she is the only one who made me to fall in love " he murmured at my ear by kissing softly where he had bitten before.
" But you are being rude at her " I said by feeling the pain.
" I didn't been rude... I just made my mark on her which supposed to expose that she is my better half " he said by smooching through my neck line.
" It isn't the way to treat your wife.. you are really testing her hormones level.. " I muttered by squeezing his hands.
I continued my talk.
" she need to take a bath with cold water if you continue.. teasing her like this " I moaned out.
He chuckled and quickly lifted me into his hands by kicking the bathroom door.
What he is doing?.
In a blink of an eye he dropped me in the bathtub which is full of cold water.
" Noo... " I yelled and quickly came into my sense by wiping out the water from my eyes.
He stood there by staring at me.
" Revenge is revenge " he said.
Oh! God... I just spilt small amount of water and that didn't affected his outfit but he totally spoiled mine.
" And you did took a bath with cold water too " he replied by pocketing his hands.
" You are totally mad Steve " I said by spilling some water on him.
" Hey, Sophia.. stop it " he yelled and I continued the same to kick him out.
He quickly rushed out by locking the door.
" Escaped... but remember you should pay for this " I muttered to myself and got off from the tub.
I brushed my teeth and sooner got a shower and worn my bathrobe.
" How much time you need Sophia?.. come out " he yelled but I didn't responded.
I stood infront of the mirror by observing myself.
Suddenly my neck started itching and paining.
The mark on my neck is clearly visible to my eyes.
It's because of Steve and he did this.
I smiled in myself but I am irritated too.
But I smiled again when I saw the chain that gifted by Steve.
I cleared the water in my hair with towel and slowly opened the door by holding towel in my hands.
I did be thankful if I didn't catch a cold.
Steve locked himself in the bathroom.
I changed to my casuals and cleared the room neatly.
I forgot to take revenge on him.
I should do something.
What to do?...
I held my phone and suddenly Steve stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around.
I quickly clicked a photo of him and he didn't observed.
He walked towards his wardrobe and took out a pair of casuals.
" How many times I told you not to stare at me like an owl.. " he said and I laughed in myself.
" That means you don't like me to stare at you then the rest can see you.." I said by taking my seat on the bed by showing my back to him.
He worn his shirt and pant quickly.
" What do you mean by the rest? " he asked me.
I pretended not to laugh.
" Means... your customers, workers, fans and public.. " I said.
He didn't responded.
I turned back where he is staring at me doubtfully.
" Means.. " I shown him the photo I clicked few minutes before.
He observed it clearly.
" Sophia... " he yelled my name loudly by rushing towards me.
I quickly arose up and stepped back.
He stood on the bed.
" Let them see your look without clothes " I said by showing him the phone.
" Sophia.. It's not fair " he yelled by stepping down.
I escaped from him and stood on the bed.
" Your photo will get huge likes Steve " I said and he tried to grab the phone from me.
But I didn't gave him that chance.
" Sophia.. I am sorry.. I am really very sorry " he apologized.
I kept quiet.
" I-I am really very very sorry Sophia. I am extremely sorry " he again apologized.
I sat on my knees and " It's okay.. no need to apologise.. and I didn't like to get a sorry from a CEO. I just did to tease you... I am sorry " I apologised in return.
I deleted the photo in front of him.
And raised my head where he is staring at me by folding his hands.
" Shall we go? " I asked him by getting off from the bed.
He held my hand and grabbed me back into his arms.
I gazed at him.
" Now.. you proved that you are a daughter of Mr. Robert " he said by pulling me closer.
I chuckled.
He walked front.
I stroke the bed and we both fallen on the bed.
I stared at him.
" I should apologise for what I did to you in the morning " he said.
" I already forgiven you " I replied.
He chuckled and leaned forward.
He slowly kissed on my forehead.
He found something and turned my head with his hand.
He observed something.
But what happened?..
He slowly moved his fingers at the mark on my neck.
" I am extremely sorry Sophia... I didn't thought that it will be a mark " he apologised again.
" Is it paining? " he asked me.
" A little bit " I replied.
I tried to turn my head but he stopped and leaned forward.
He slowly placed soft kisses on the mark.
I held his shirt tight.
I am losing my control again.
" I am sorry princess " he whispered in between.
" Steve.. " I moaned his name by squeezing his shirt.
" I told you not to apologize " I muttered.
" I love to apologize my wife and I will try my best till she forgive me wholeheartedly " he replied by continuing forward to my cheeks.
" I accepted your apology " I moaned.
But he didn't listened and kissed me on my cheek.
And again on the other.
" You are really a god given gift Sophia" he whispered by joining his forehead with mine.
He closed his eyes and we are now connected at our nose too.
" Then you are the most important and more loved person by me " I whispered back.
He smiled and gave me small kiss on my lips.
" let's go " Steve took me off from our room to where everyone is waiting for us.
" Good morning.. " we said.
They all gazed at us for a second and "I think.. you both didn't had time to gaze at the clock... " Mr. James said.
Everyone laughed.
" They aren't that much old like us James " Mrs. James said by pointing Mr. James.
He shuttered his mouth and we chuckled.
" Anyway.. Steve, show some pity on my new daughter " he said.
Steve quickly closed his mouth and whispered in his ear.
" Okay.. let's go for a boat riding " Kevin said by showing a way for us.
Sooner we reached the respective place.
" Sophia.. let's go " Steve said by holding my hand.
But I stopped him.
" No, Steve... I am afraid.. you carry on" I replied.
He stared at me for a minute and walked away for boat riding.
" Brother.. here your jacket " Kevin thrown a jacket towards Steve.
He caught it perfectly.
He removed his shirt and handed me by wearing the jacket.
" Let us see who will win " Mr. James said by zipping his jacket.
Quill laughed at him loudly.
" Steve sir loves boat riding and he know very much about it.. we can't win over him sir " Quill yelled.
"Let's see " Mr. James said and they are at the starting line.
Lisa gave company to Kevin in boat riding also Mrs. James stepped front without fear.
Only me and Natasha left behind.
Quill is too feary.. so he joined with Steve.
They fasten their speed.
I stood there by holding Steve shirt.
" I didn't thought that Quill is so fearful.. such a stupid " Nat said by gazing at me.
I turned my head to her and chuckled.
" He isn't stupid.. he is just innocent " I said.
" Too innocent.. but he deals many convocations simply " she said.
I chuckled.
" But.. you are so lucky. You got a handsome, charming, cute, innocent, and Smart man as husband. Everyone is so jealous of you " she said but I just smiled.
" And Steve sir also lucky by having you as a wife. 'Cause you just give a reply with your smile " she said and I smiled again without replying.
" Everyone judges him as Mr. Character, Mr. Perfect, and cold hearted but.. he is completely different of what everyone thinks" I replied by turning to the lake.
" He loves his family.. he gives equal importance to everyone.. you know, he stills reads story books of kindergarten " I said and she laughed.
" He will be in sulk sometimes like a child.. begs for mercy.. still sleeps in her mother lap.. flirts with his grandma.. likes to be with pets.. had a great passion towards learning.. " I boosted out of what I had observed in Steve from day one after our marriage.
" He is a gentle man in public and a child in personal " she said.
I chuckled.
" Sophia.... " someone yelled my name loudly.
We both turned back where Lisa and everyone running towards us.
" What happened?.. why are they in such hurry? " I asked Nat.
" I don't know... " she said and we both walked front towards them.
Lisa reached us and held my shoulders by gasping.
" Hey, what happened?.. why are you running like that? " I asked her.
She cleared her throat.
" Sophia.. " she whispered my name and I gazed at her back where everyone is running towards us except Steve.
I shockingly turned my head to Lisa.
" Where is Steve? " I asked her in afraid.
She is crying.
Why she is crying?..
" Tell me.. where is Steve? " this time I yelled at her seriously.
She jerked and " When we were returning back.. unfortunately.. Steve stroke the stride between and Steve, Quill submerged along with the boat.. as Quill held the boat tightly.. so we saved him but Steve.... " she kept quiet in Steve's matter.
" We are really sorry, Sophia " she said by crying.
" L-Lisa please.. d-don't play jokes. You are lying right " I am unable to talk with her properly.
" How can he s-so reckless.. I know y-you guys are playing a drama " I said by staring at all of them.
Everyone is crying.
" Hey, don't cry.. you all played wonderfully... Please stop it " I said and few tears escaped from my eyelids.
" Why am I crying? " I said by wiping my tears and I don't trust their words.
I walked towards Mrs. James and held her hands.
" Tell me that nothing is happened to Steve Mrs. James... you guys are trying to scare me right. I know that " I said but she continued crying.
" No.. Sophia. We aren't acting. What Lisa told you is the truth. Steve is no more Sophia.. we are extremely sorry for not saving him " she said and I am unable to hear any word of Mrs. James.
Something is happening to me.
No.. it's not true.
I know Steve never leave me alone.
He should come back for his mom, for his dream, for his company and should come back to lead life with his baby.. he must come back.
I am losing my control.
I am staggering without drinking alcohol.
I held Steve's shirt tight.
At least he should come back for his wife.
I won't believe in their words.
Come back " Steve " I fallen down by whispering his name.
--------
" Let her rest for some time " someone said and I slowly getting into my conscious.
Tears flowing from my eyes.
Am I trusting their words!..
Why Steve did like this!..
Why he left everyone!..
He promised me that he never leave me.
He should be honest.
And he should fulfill his promise.
I won't agree with this.
God.. please.. I want him.
I am unable to take breath.
" Hah " I took breathe with my mouth.
And someone held hand tight.
" Sophia.. " I heard a familiar voice.
" Sophia.. Sophia.. Are you alright?.. Doctor " he yelled and called the doctor.
His voice matches with Steve voice.
I slowly opened my eyes where Steve held my hand.
Everyone is laughing.
Why they are laughing?
" Steve.. " I whispered his name but no one heard my voice.
" We just played a drama.. and we didn't thought that you will react like this Sophia " Lisa said.
What?.. it's just acting!...
What everyone is thinking about me?..
I shockingly turned my head to Steve.
He gazed at me and chuckled.
" Ah! We just tried to scare you but we didn't expected your reaction like this" he said by pretending not to laugh.
" We are sorry for what we did Sophia" everyone apologized except Steve.
I am staring at him.
He laughed at me.
I sat upright and he stopped laughing.
" She will forgive us easily " Steve said by leaning forward towards me by chuckling.
He doesn't know about me completely.
I gazed at him and his laugh which is increasing my temper now.
I didn't have any second thought.
With in seconds I slapped Steve.
Everyone stopped laughing and stood there by gazing at me shockingly.
Steve lifted his gaze to me by cupping his cheek.
My eyes turned red and tears are trying to come out from my eyelids.
" I am really scared Steve... my heart stopped beating for seconds. You guys are laughing and simply lied to me " I yelled by addressing everyone who took part in that play.
" Do you guys know how much it hurts other!.. " I yelled.
They all stood in silence.
I am crying now.
Steve gazed at me.
" You guys really scared me " I yelled by crying.
Steve tried to wipe out my tears by I pushed his hands away by crying.
" How can you play with me like that! " I asked him.
He stared at me.
" It's not a silly thing.. do you have an idea about how it really feels when we lost our loved ones! " I asked him.
He controlled his words.
" I am sorry princess " he whispered by wiping my tears.
" I am not going to forgive you.. I don't need your apology.. " I said by pushing his hands away.
It turned red on his cheek where I slapped a minute before.
" We tried to stop acting but you fainted without listening to our words" Lisa said.
" We are sorry dear.. " Mr. James apologised.
" Mistake is ours not brother's.. " Kevin said.
" We forced him.. and he did accepted it after we forced him a lot " Quill said.
" And I am forced of this idiot.. that's why I acted like that " she said by punching Mr. James.
" We are really sorry Sophia " they apologised again.
I turned my head from them to Steve.
" It's better to leave them alone.. " Mr. James said.
" Yah! Let's go " Mrs. James said by yanking Mr. James with her.
Everyone ran outside quickly.
I shifted my head from them to Steve.
" I am really sorry Sophia " he apologised.
I started crying.
Tears flowing out.
" Hey.. " he leaned front by cupping his cheeks.
I chuckled.
He quickly hugged me.
" I am sorry Sophia.. " he whispered at my ear.
But tears aren't stopping.
I hugged him back tightly.
" I am really scared Steve " I said.
He chuckled and " I am sorry.. I promise I won't leave you and I will always be with you " he said and I calmed down myself after listening to his words.
I rested my head on his chest for sometime.
I slowly lifted my head and kissed him on his cheek which turned red.
My palm made it's print on his cheek.
I slowly smooched on his cheek.
" I didn't apologise for this.. because you deserve this " I said by smooching him.
He chuckled and kissed me on my forehead.
" I am sorry princess " he said by hugging me tight.
We both stroke the bed.
He adjusted the pillow under my head and rested his head on my shoulder.
" I am tired " he whispered by wrapping his hands around my waist.
I moved a bit up and now he rested his head on my lap.
