Wilson Heart

The previous awkward conversation soon turn into an interesting conversation and before they knew it, time wisp by before both of them realized this. Suddenly, Sophia checked her watch. 'What!' She jumped up.

"Wilson, I need to go." She announced picking up her back.

Checking his watch, Wilson furrowed. 'Why would time speed up when I'm finally getting there.' He grumbled in his mind. "Can't we stay for another couple of minutes"

Sophia shook her head. "I need to get going. We can discuss right in the car."

'It either now or never!' Wilson thought taking a deep breath to calm his thumping heart.

"I will like you to be mine. If you wouldn't mind. I like you to be my girlfriend. It's been a long since I had an enjoyable moment with a lady. I feel at peace with you. Though it may since rushed. But perfectly understand what I'm saying and doing."He said each word as slowly as possible while his gaze never left Sophia's face.

Sophia blinked her wide eyes. Her jaw dropped. Her heart missed a beat. Blood rushed to her face. She couldn't register what she just heard. She took a deep breath to calm her raging heart. She looked at the serious face of Wilson and said slowly. "We barely knew each other, let's not rush things." With that, she left with a large stride.

Wilson froze for a few seconds, he didn't expect things to turn out like this. Previously, Lady's trip for him. Besides, any lady he asks out would jump to the offer but now...

'I should have known. Sophia is not normal ladies.' He shook his head, looking at the backside of Sophia.

He blamed himself. "I should have taken things slow" He cracked his knuckle, gnashing his teeth. 'Let me find a way to save the situation before I lose her.' He stood up to straighten his shirt following after Sophia. However, Sophia was lucky, immediately she stepped out of the restaurant. She found a cab and left. Wilson stood rooted at the entrance of the restaurant with conflicted emotion.

Meanwhile, Wilson's proposal dug out a bitter memory in Sophia's mind. She was devastated remembering her relationship with Joe. It all started like Wilson but the ending was something he would never forget.

Sophia got to her room and cried. All the unpleasant memory was vivid in her eyes like it happen yesterday. Tears streak from her eyes like broken damn. She sniffed, trying to control her tears but to no avail. He heartache, she held her chest sob, drown in tears. Her eyes were swollen from tears. Her eyes were red, pale from continuous crying, sniffing. She tried not to remember all the memory but she to no avail.

After a couple of minutes, she recovered herself. She wiped her eyes and went to the bathroom to wash her face. She knew her troublesome girlfriend would soon come and disturb her about the date. Like she had rightfully guessed, not long her friend rushed into her room. She barely drops her bag before shouting.

"Girl! Don't keep me waiting. Tell me. Tell me how did it go? Tell mama" She sat beside Sophia. widening her eyes and staring straight into her eyes.

Sophia was just looking at her blank. 'Should I tell her or play along.' Her thought was in conflict. While she was still debating on what to do. She heard her friend's cold voice.

"What happened? Don't tell me that you turned him down. I've told you never to let your past relationship affect the present one" Seeing Sophia blanking out, her friend had to guess what happened.

'I guess there is no hiding.' Sophia thought.

Sophia opened her mouth, but instead of her talking, tears dripped from the corner of her eyes. Immediately, her friend embraced her for a couple of minutes.

"Girl, don't worry. Take it easy." Her friend whispered into her ears.

Noticing Sophia getting her emotion under check, She began to crack jokes about his past relationship. Soon laughter and giggles filled the room.

Sophia went back to sit in her bedroom while thinking about what transpired between her and Wilson. 'Why did I run away' She tilted her head, showing her set of white teeth. 'This can't continue.'

"I need to see him" She whispered silently while lying on the bed.

Wilson drove dangerously out of the restaurant, he was furious. But to who, no one knows. Suddenly, he stopped the car couple of meters from his house. He tried to get his emotion in check, but it was in turmoil.

"Why is this happening to me. Why!" He bangs the wheel furiously.

Wilson had never felt like this before. He sat down there for a few minutes, thinking about his life. It came to a moment when he just put on a forced smile, thinking something was wrong with him. With a snap of his finger, ten ladies would dance to his tune. " But what was different about this time around?" He asked no one in particular.

He tried to be strong, but his heart kept pounding while the thought of going to Sophia continued flashing through his brain. "What's wrong with me?" He asked for the umpteenth time, gnashing his teeth and banged the steering, taking a deep breath, and drove home lost in thought.

"The weather is somewhat cold." He said subconsciously.

He tried to put on a fake smile as he was about to deliver some important information to his father. So, he halted the car and entered his parents' apartment.

"Dad. Dad." Wilson called, slumping into the couch.

A few minutes later, his father came out of the sitting room and met Wilson, looking devastated and deep in thought. He furrowed and matched toward his son.

"What happen. Don't try to hide anything from me." The husky voice of his father boomed throughout the sitting room. Seeing his father's seriousness. Wilson sighed and explained what happened.

"That was what happened, dad," he said calmly.

His father looked at him for a while because he was so surprised that a lady could make his son like this. After all, he was well aware of how he was moving from one lady to another.

'I guess he growing up.' Mr. Benson chuckled in his heart. He looked at his son's face for a few seconds and coughed.

"Son, sorry about that, but you were wrong. How could you ask such a question on your first date? Someone that will truly be with you cannot accept your proposal on the first date. " Wilson's father announced confidently. He patted his son's shoulder and gave a knowing smile.

"You mean... dad? I know I was wrong… But… but other ladies accept at the first…" Wilson stuttered.

"Yes son, if she was after your money and fame like the other ladies, she would have said yes immediately, but don't worry, she would accept you," Mr. Benson convinced. "Only if she likes you." He whispered.

"What?"
