The City of Love (4)

In amusement, Vincent asked, "So what is your plan for his surprise?"

Looking up from her plate, Sofia stared wide eyed. This was the first time Vincent was asking about her private plans. Before this they would only talk regarding her work that was Johnathan, his son.

"Ummm. I will surprise Ben on Saturday night, sing the happy birthday song and give him his gift." Sofia replied vaguely.

Not letting her be, Vincent added, "And? Is that all? don't you have any plans for dinner or anything?"

"It will be too late for dinner at 12 am so we will probably stay in to watch a movie and do something inside." Sofia answered Vincent's probing questions vaguely while turning a bright shade of red towards the end.

Having had enough fun teasing Sofia for the time being, Vincent finally got back to eating the food in front him in silence.

Dinner was completed and all that was left to do was to get the table cleaned up and then go back to doing their own things. Just as Sofia picked up her plate from the table and reaching for Vincent's, Vincent held her wrist preventing Sofia from moving.

"Leave them be. The workers will clean up, you don't have to do this." Having said what he wanted, Vincent let go of her hand and got up. He walked to the other side of the table, where his documents were layed out, and sat down.

Picking up a bunch of papers from the table, Vincent began cleaning up his work. Noticing Sofia still standing at the exact spot as he had held her hand, Vincent had a smile on his face.

Putting the last of his documents inside his work bag, Vincent walked to Sofia. Standing right in front of her, he gave her a once over and said, "We will reach Paris in another 8 hours, so go get some shut eye before we reach."

"Where should I go to sleep?" Sofia asked while looking at Vincent.

"I take you there." Vincent began walking towords the area Sofia was taken to freshened up for dinner. This time they went even further into the plane. Sofia noticed doors after every 10 steps Vincent moved forward.

Having passed 2 doors, Vincent stopped at the 3rd one and opened it for Sofia while saying, "Johnathan is sleeping in this room. Stay with him for now. Goodnight."

The minute Sofia reached the open door, Vincent turned around and disappeared into the last door in the hallway.

Sofia entered the room and the first thing she saw was Johnathan sleeping in the queen bed. Walking to the bed, she entered into it and was out like a light. She could not wait till they reached Paris in 8 hours.
