Heart to Heart (13)

'Dream as much as you want, it will all be fulfilled but with me and no one else. That I can promise you.'

Vincent lowered his head a few inches and placed a lingering kiss on top of her head. He stayed in that position for a little while before walking back to his seat in front of Sofia.

Sofia had felt him caressing her shoulders and that had been unexpected as this was the first time Vincent had touched her since she moved in. At first it was awkward for her, but as soon as he kissed her on her head, Sofia remembered the way she used to behave with her baby brother when he was sad. She used to hug him and place a kiss on his head to tell him it will all be ok.

Connecting Vincent's actions to her own, she felt a sense of security. He was trying to console her. A person who was her boss, had taken time to console her when she was feeling down. 'How could I have thought that Vincent King was a bad person before I had even met him?'

Looking at Vincent across the table, Sofia smiled in gratitude. As a reply, Vincent also smiled at her before looking down at his table full of folders.

Seeing him busy with work, Sofia stood up and quietly made her way out of the study and into her own room. Staying in her room for an hour, that was spent showing and changing into new clothes, Sofia made her way to Johnathan's room.

Johnathan had just gotten up from his nap when Sofia entered his room. Not having realized what was happening around him, the baby started crying when he noticed he was alone in the room.

Running to him, Sofia took him in her arms and swayed him side to side while making 'shh'ing' sounds to calm him down. Johnathan did not calm down until 5 minutes had passed. And when he did, he was not letting go of Sofia.

The rest of the day Sofia spent all her time with Johnathan. She played with him, gave him a bath and watched a kids movie together. It was time for dinner before they knew it. And the way they noticed the time was when Vincent himself came into the room in order to wake Johnathan up for food. Seeing Sofia in the room Vincent only said four words, "Its time for dinner." before leaving.

Not wanting a repeat of lunch, Sofia and Johnathan quickly made their way to dinning room. This time they were right on time.
