Chapter - 31
Sophia''s POV
" Sophia , I don''t think this is right."
" Char, not again. " I whined. Since the time I told her that I was moving back, she was trying to
convince me otherwise. She dislikes Nick a lot since the first time I told her what he had done and his
recent outburst had fetched him a higher position in her bad book. Ryan too isn''t fond of him but
doesn''t express it too much.
" I am not sure about it." Char folded her arms across her chest . She was looking genuinely upset.
" But I am. I told you why he behaved like that at the hospital. He wasn''t thinking. Besides , I hurt him
as well . " I tried reasoning. Whenever I remember, what I had told him , I can''t help but feel guilty.
" But what about the things he did before?"
" Char , seriously ? That was in the past. I told you ,he had his reasons and he had apologized for that.
" I had given her a brief about ra and Nick''s past.
" I don''t know, he always finds a reason to hurt you. " She threw her hands up in the air in exasperation
. I rarely see her serious side which didn''t sit well with me. I knew she was extremely concerned about
me. I sighed and walked up to her.
" His intentions are not bad. Don''t worry your small head too much." I joked , earning a p on my arm.
I hugged her and we remained like that for a few minutes.
" Soph , Nick is here." Ryan called out. From his tone , it was clear that he wasn''t ecstatic to meet Nick.
" Yeah ,ing." I replied. I took the small bag with the essentials that I had brought along. I came out
to see Nick standing in front of his car.
" Take care and if he misbehaves , just give me a call. I will dly kick his ass." Char said while ring
at Nick. I chuckled at how ufortable Nick looked.
" Sure babe." I hugged Ryan and he kissed me on the cheek. As I went upto Nick, he looked tense. He
opened the door for me and after I settled down, he got into the driver''s seat.
" Are you fine ?" I asked as he started driving.
" Now that you''re here with me, I am fine." He smiled giving me a cheesy smile.
" Cheesy much ? Tell me , what''s the matter?" I waited for him to answer. When he understood that
there was no way that he could avoid it , he released a deep sigh.
" Fine , I-I didn''t like it ." He said .
" What ? What did you not like?" I was confused. He looked at me for a brief second and then looked in
front.
" Ryan, he .. he kissed you." He said and pouted like a kid. Really, it was a peck . He looked too cute
when he was jealous.I thought of ying with him a little.
" Oh , but I like it , a lot." I said twirling my hair . But just as those words left my mouth , the car came to
a sudden halt.
" What !?" Nick eximed.
" Nick , what the hell ? Drive . We are in the middle of the road." As if my yelling knocked some sense
into him , he blinked a few times and resumed driving.
" You like him kissing you?" He gritted through his teeth. He was gripping the steering tightly .
" No." I quickly blurted. Any mischievous idea of teasing him had long left my mind. I didn''t want him to
get us into some ident. But he still didn''t look convinced.
" Nick , don''t act childish. It was just a peck on the cheek. " He still ignored it and didn''t say anything
more throughout the drive.
As he parked the car , I got out of the car.
I started making my way towards the bedroom.
Hardly did I enter our room when I was pushed to the wall on my back. Without warning, Nick''s lips
mmed on mine and engaged them in a deep , passionate kiss. It felt like he was starved for days
and finally got to taste it. I tried matching his fervour . His hand roamed on my body and went up in my
shirt , drawing patterns on my back.
After what seemed like hours , we broke the kiss. Both of us were panting hard . Nick cupped my cheek
and looked into my eyes.
" I missed you." He breathed out. His eyes reflected how genuine his words were. I missed him as well.
Only one day I was away from him and I was so restless. I liked being back with him in our room. I
didn''t know if it was bad that I was that addicted to him in such a sort span.
I pecked his nose and spoke .
" I missed you too."
.........
" Ethan, just onest time." I brought up the spoon filled with soup to his mouth . After a lot of whining, I
was able to feed him the whole bowl of chicken soup.
" Good boy." I kissed his cheek.
I went out to wash my hands .

" Amy , please go and be with Ethan. See if he needs anything and please don''t let him move too
much." I told his nanny.
" Sure."
It had been a week since I had moved back. Ethan was recovering at a good rate. So the doctor had
allowed us to take him back home a few days before the estimated date.
I had to go to my job the previous days and I had applied for leave which was granted. Nick was
staying at home to take care of Ethan although I was there. He said that he wanted to help me with
Ethan.
It was today that I heard him speaking on the phone that he won''t be able toe. From what I could
make out of the conversation was that he was supposed to meet an important client today. He was
being paranoid. So I had to literally force him out of the house but that didn''t stop him. He was literally
calling every ten minutes to ask about Ethan.
As I just picked up my phone , it started ringing again.
" Oh God Nick! Ethan is fine. " I spoke annoyed.
" Sorry baby, I was just worried." Baby !? When did he start calling me baby ? But I can''t say I didn''t like
it. I was feeling like a giddy teenager.
" I understand but just try and rx. " I acted as if I hadn''t heard the nickname, he just gave me.
We spoke for a few more minutes before hanging up. I sighed and sat down on the sofa.
Ethan was back home. Nick and I were good . Everything was back on track. I just hope that it stays
this way. I hope.
