A CHAT WITH SOFIE

LOIS' POV

I was drawn out of my reverie by no other than Sofiah.

"Hey there, Ma'am" She called waving her hand in front of my face. "You were out for a while. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine Sofie" I said looking up into her beautiful hazel brown eyes. This woman was lovely.

She would be perfect for Uncle Luca...

My subconscious piped.

Seriously!?

"Any issues?" I asked.

"No Ma'am. Just to know if you would love a cup of juice."

"Yeah sure.....And it's Lois to you. Okay?"

"Yes... Yes Lois"

"Good" I smiled as she walked away.

A moment later, Sofiah walked back into the Garden. She went straight to Oliver who was seating on the other side of the garden, and handed him one cup of juice. He spoke to her for a while before, before handing her something, I couldn't clearly make out. I noticed he gestured towards me, and Sofiah smiled.

Oliver hadn't spoken to me since this morning. He was already out of bed before I woke up. Though, there was a cup of coffee on the side stool by the bed when I woke. I guess Oliver dropped it there. I didn't really know if I wanted to talk to him now, but what I knew for sure was that, I didn't want to leave his side. Ever!

Wow!! I'm scaring myself with the things I think of nowadays.

"Here you go Lois" Sofie handed me a cup of juice as she turned to go back into the mansion.

"Sofiah"

"Yes?" she turned back to me.

"Are you busy?"

"No. Would you love me to do anything for you?"

"Yes"

..............

...............

..............

There was silence between us, while she kept looking at me to give her an order on what to do.

"Sit down" I gestured to the empty seat by my side.

"Okayyy" She slowly sat down, looking curious.

"I want us to have a little chat. How about that?" I smiled, and she smiled in return.

************************************

"And then he laughed out, after trying to hold it in for so long" We both burst out laughing. It was already up to an hour we started talking. I asked Sofiah to tell me about herself. I really had a nice time. Then, I decided to take the bull by the horn. I had a really surprising question to ask her.

"Sofiah, do you find my uncle good looking?" I blurted

"Huh?" she looked so confused. Had it not been, that I wanted to look as serious as possible, I would have started laughing.

"Yes Sofiah. Do you find him good enough? Do you like him?"

"He's probably good looking" she kept her eyes to her laps. "I mean, people find him good looking right? The way he changes his women.... And all" She looked up, smiling at me.

"Well, I really can't make out an answer from your reply, and I don't know how you feel. But I want you to know that I think my Uncle has a thing for you. Maybe you guys could work something out, you know?"

"No, I can't Lois. I would be betraying the love my Husband had for me"

"I thought you said you aren't married?"

"Yes, I'm not married. I WAS married."

"And then what happened?... you had a divorce?" After a while, I saw the look of hurt clearly written on her face. "Look Sofie, I'm sorry if I am intruding, I didn't mean to. It's okay if you don't want to talk about it"

"I lost him..." She replied with a blank expression. She was getting more saddened thinking about it.

"You Lost him?" I asked.

"Yes. He died, and I wasn't even able to be with him in his final moment."

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry dear. So sorry for your loss" I stood up and wrapped her in a tight hug. She smelled like coconut and Vanilla.

"What do you mean don't want to betray him?" I asked still hugging her

"I... I....." She was about to talk before we were interrupted.

"Lois?" I released her from my embrace and looked up to see Uncle Luca standing there. Looking amused.

"Uncle Luca. Good morning. I smiled" Sofiah quickly walked away with her head bowed.

Uncle Luca followed her movement, and I noticed he had a pained expression. What was really going on?

"Give me a moment Lois" He excused himself and walked away.

As I motioned towards my seat, I found a paper on the floor. Sofiah must have dropped it. I picked it up immediately, opened it and read through.

Good morning babe. Hope you had a wonderful night. Sorry I wasn't around when you woke, had some issues to take care of........... Please meet me at the Lake.

Olly.

Oliver asked Sofiah to give me this? Oh my! it's over an hour ago. I'm sure he isn't at the lake anymore. I became so sad. I stood up and walked towards the lake with hopes of catching him there, but my thoughts were proved right when I got there. He wasn't there any longer.

"Fine.. I'll see you inside anyways" I whisphered to myself, feeling bad to have kept him waiting.

I heaved a long sigh as I walked closer to the lake. It was really a nice sight.

I was cut off my quiet time when I felt strong hands snake themselves around my waist. I turned swiftly, just to see Oliver.

"Hey babe" He whispered, looking deep into my eyes, with his hands, still on my waist.

"Olly...." I could barely hear myself. We were both silent for a while. I didn't know what else to say. We looked into each other's eyes. Oliver liked his lips, and before one could comprehend, We made a grab for each other.

I kissed him with all the energy I had in me. He plunged his tongue deep into my mouth, as he gently squeezed my boobs. I made made a swift jump and had my legs entwined around his waist in no time.

I was already getting lost in the moment. It was as if I was in a trance or something. I just couldn't control the situation. And slowly but eventually, I realized that I might also be getting lost in Love.....
