Chapter - 45


    Nick''s POV


    I was up and as usual , Sophia was still sleeping in my arms, looking as innocent as ever. I slowly


    stroked her hair while staring at her face.


    Last night I was nervous as hell. I came home early with the cake and the ne to surprise her but


    as the time wasing close , I was freaking out. When Ethan left the room , I could feel my heart


    beating at an inhuman speed but I had to say it. I couldn''t afford to not confess my feelings to her.


    I was skeptical about her reaction but when she said that she loves me as well, I was ecstatic. If


    anyone would have told me some months back that I would be so much in love with anyone, I would


    haveughed but now this is where I was.


    I tried removing her hand but it only tightened around my neck. Giving up, I snuggled closer to her and


    next time when I opened my eyes, she wasn''t there on the bed.


    When I came downstairs, I saw her in the kitchen. She was wearing headphones and shaking her butts


    off to whatever song was ying while cooking something. I leaned on the wall outside and enjoyed


    the show she was putting on.


    Finally, I went in to stand right behind her . Wrapping my hands around her waist I pulled her to myself.


    A gasp left her mouth and she clutched my hand around her waist tightly.


    " That was quite a show you put up. I could always wake up to such beautiful mornings." I pressed my


    nose to her cheeks which were now bright red out of embarassment.


    " Sneaky little thing." She mumbled to herself.


    I turned her by her waist to face me.


    " Did you just call me little ?" I raised a brow. Her face was stretched into a mischievous grin and she


    nodded big.


    Oh you didn''t!


    " Then let me show , how little I am." I smirked at her . She looked confused for a second before


    realisation dawned upon her, causing her face to turn back to red. She pushed me away and turned her


    back to me.


    " Nick , don''t disturb me. Let me make breakfast." Putting away her headphones, she resumed


    cooking. I bend forward on the counter and looked at her face.


    " It''s your birthday. You aren''t supposed to cook. " She nodded her head while cutting the strawberries.


    " But , you did so muchst night. I wanted to do something today. " Shepleted with a smile.


    "But-"


    " No buts , get out of the kitchen right now." She said in a no-argument-tone.


    I raised my hands up in surrender and went out.


    Sophia''s POV


    Nick had confessed his feelingsst night. Whatever he did was very sweet and I wanted to do


    something sweet for him as well. So I decided to make a nice breakfast for him.


    I ted the red velvet waffles with some sliced strawberries, put some blueberries and strawberries in


    a heart shaped bowl and some macarons . I ced two sses of orange juice on the tray . After I was


    satisfied with my work, I walked out.


    Nick was sitting at the table as I ced the tray in front of him.


    " Wow ! Someone''s definitely in a romantic mood." He wiggled his eyebrows to which I just shrugged


    and sat in front of him.


    I waited for him to take the first bite.


    " This is so good." I smiled at hispliment, happy that my efforts weren''t wasted. I dug into my


    breakfast as well.


    " Tonight we are going for dinner , be ready by 7, okay ?" , He said looking at his phone.


    " Okay but what about the honeymoon?" I blurted out what was on my mind. He kept his phone aside


    and smirked at me and I knew I was in for a teasing.


    "Eager , are we ?" I bit my lip out of embarrassment. Ughh ! My stupid stupid mouth!


    I heard his deepughter , a sound I havee to love so much. Infact I love everything about him


    now. So whipped I was!


    He came up , sat beside me and pulled me to hisp.


    " Patience baby , patience. I understand its hard to resist yourself when your husband is this hot." I


    pped his arm and pressed my head to his chest. I felt the vibrations of hisughter, at my expense.


    " If you don''t stopughing right now, I won''t go on honeymoon with you. " He grinned at me like he


    didn''t believe me even a bit. Even I didn''t believe it myself.


    " Okay , first we are celebrating your birthday and then we will think about our honeymoon." He smiled


    at me. I leaned forward to peck his lips but he held me in ce and deepened the kiss. We were lost in


    each other that we didn''t notice when Ethan hade.


    " E ! gross." We instantly pulled away to look at Ethan, standing with a disgusted expression on


    his face. I wonder how many times was I embarassed in a single morning. On the other hand Nick


    looked pretty cool. I ran fingers through my hair to fix up my appearance.


    " Come here, I have made waffles for breakfast." I smiled at Ethan. His face immediately changed into


    arge grin at the name of waffles. His love for food!

    Nick''s POV


    I walked out of the walk-in closet, fixing my watch. As I looked up , I was greeted with the sight of my


    gorgeous Sophia standing there.


    She was looking ravishing in the rose gold body con dress . Never in my dreams had I thought that she


    could look this stunning in this dress when I had picked it up for her. Her hair was styled in loose curls


    and her red lips looked simply irresistible. She smirked at me as I checked her out with opened mouth.


    She slowly stalked towards me and brought up her hands to circle it around my neck. Pushing herself


    up on her toes , she brought her lips close to mine, but not enough to touch.


    " Like what you see?" She whispered in a low seductive voice. My throat was dry and my brain refused


    to process anything. I just nodded in reply. She kissed the corner of my mouth and distanced herself.


    As I came out of my reverie, I realised what happened. She smirked at me before walking out of the


    room.


    ''My little seductress wife .'' I shook my head and followed suite.


    ...........


    Sophia''s POV


    I don''t know where from that confidence came in me but when I saw Nick gawking at me , it was as if


    my legs had a mind of their own.


    The car parked in front of a fancy restaurant. Helping me out of the car, Nick led me and Ethan inside


    the restaurant. The manager guided us to a private part of the restaurant. Ofcourse Nick would have


    booked it ! Before entering , little did I know that I was in for a surprise.


    " HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA!" Both our families along with Ryan ,Char and Caleb were there, smiling


    widely at me. The whole area was decorated with rose gold and silver balloons and flowers.


    " Oh my God!" Squealing, I turned towards Nick who was smiling at me and hugged him. He brought


    his hands to wrap it around me.


    " Thank you, thank you so much. " I gushed.


    " Anything for you." He was being so sweet. I smiled widely and kissed him on the cheek.


    " I want a kiss too." I pulled away to see Ethan looking at us with a pout. Everyoneughed at his


    expression. I picked him up and ced him on my hip .


    " Ofcourse li''l man." I kissed his cheek to which he gave me grin.


    " Happy Birthday Princess." I put Ethan down to hug Dad. He wrapped his hands around my shoulders


    and pulled me close.


    " Thank you Dad." I inhaled his familiar scent which has been my favourite since childhood. It provides


    me with a sense of security.


    Mom, Mama and Papa wished me as well before my best friends took me in a bone crushing hug. I


    saw Nick stiffen as Ryan approached me but I warned him with my eyes, to behave.


    A waiter came in with a chocte cake and ced it on the table . My twenty-eighth birthday was spent


    over a delicious sumptuous meal and a lot of quality time with the best people in my life.
