One Wild Night

"So tell me, how did it go last night? It worked, didn't it? You know, when his mouth dropped open the minute you walked through the door, I knew he was toast," Mia said with a wide smile once the make-up team finished with Sonia's make-up and left the room so that Sonia could change from her clothes into the matching clothes they had gotten for her and Bryan.

Bryan was also in his bedroom changing into his clothes with Jeff's help, while the production crew set up the cameras around the house.

Sonia who was putting on her suit pant turned to look at Mia and pursed her lips as she considered Mia's question. The corners of her lips curved in a smile when she remembered how flustered Bryan had been, "It worked, but I'm not sure that he likes that he is attracted to me. He seems to be fighting it," Sonia said thoughtful sigh, and then pursed her lips again when she recalled the incident that took place at the swimming pool the previous evening. What would have happened between them last night had she not stopped him right there because she was upset? Would he have made love to her? Butterflies fluttered in her belly at the thought of that, and her toes curled.

"I would have been worried if he wasn't fighting it. Seeing that he is fighting it, I can confidently say that you are doing a good job," Mia said with a satisfied smile, giving Sonia a thumb up.

"Well, let's not celebrate too soon. We can say that I have done a good job only after I get him where I want him,"

"And where do you want him, if I may ask?" Mia asked, just to be certain that she was on the same page as Sonia.

"My bed?" Sonia asked with a grin.

"Just on your bed? I thought you like him?" Mia asked with a slight frown. The last thing she wanted was for Bryan to end up falling in love with her, as she knew he would, only for Sonia to leave after having sex with him.

"Of course, I do. Sex is always a good start, don't you agree?" Sonia asked with a grin, and then she moved closer to where Mia was standing when she noticed that Mia didn't look satisfied by her response, "Don't worry, I'm not going to break his heart or do anything rash that might affect his career. I promise," she said, and Mia drew in a deep breath before giving her a nod.

"I trust you," Mia said as she took a step back so she could take a good look at Sonia's outfit, "I think you were made for the camera. Let's join them,"

Sonia turned to look at her reflection in the mirror and she had to agree with Mia that she was set for the camera. Both the makeup on her face, and the clothes she was putting on looked perfect on her, and it gave her a celebrity feel. Although she would have preferred that they both wear simple homely clothes since they were shooting the interview in his house, she also understood that Bryan was a celebrity and as such he was always expected to look his best, and so was she as his fiancee.

"Let's go," she said to Mia as she led the way out of the bedroom. She stopped by the doorway when she saw that Bryan was getting out of his wheelchair to sit on the white-colored couch that they were using for the interview.

Bryan who was now seated on the couch, turned in Sonia's direction when he noticed that Jeff and the other guys near him were staring at her.

Like him, she was wearing navy blue colored pantsuits. The only difference in their outfit was that while he was wearing a white turtleneck top under his suit jacket, she wasn't wearing anything under hers. The neckline of her suit jacket had a deep V neckline which almost stopped midriff, revealing her cleavage, and she was wearing white stiletto heels to match the white in Bryan's outfit.

Seeing their audience, Bryan flashed her a proud smile as he stretched out his hand to her, and Sonia didn't hesitate to take his hand, "You look ravishing as always," Bryan said with a wide smile that reflected in his eyes as he pulled her to the space next to him on the couch, while Jeff quickly moved the wheelchair away from there when he noticed the cameras clicking.

Sonia looked into his smiling eyes, wondering why his smile seemed so genuine. He must be a really good actor to be able to fake such a smile, Sonia mused as she smiled back at him, and leaned in to kiss him, "You don't look so bad yourself," she said as she patted his chest.

Bryan tried not to react to the kiss, even though as always his body responded to the brief contact. His eyes fell on her ears, and he signaled Mia over to his side. Once Mia got to where they were seated, Bryan signaled her to lean forward as he wanted to tell her something for her ears alone.

Sonia watched curiously as Bryan whispered something into Mia's ear, and she whispered something back to him, and when they were done Mia gave him a nod, and looked at Sonia with an amused expression before walking away.

"What were you talking to her about?" Sonia asked curiously, still leaning into him with her head on his chest.

"Something I didn't want anyone else to hear," Bryan said as he raised his hand to pat her hair as though it was the most natural thing in the world.

Sonia pulled away from him to look into his face with a cute pout, "You shouldn't be hiding anything from your fiancee," she reminded him.

"Says the same fiancee that refused to confide in me about her best friend," Bryan said with a small smile as he watched her. He still couldn't believe that he was falling for her under such a short duration. She must have bewitched him as Matt had suspected the last time for him to have fallen so easily.

A shadow of a frown touched his brows when he recalled how terrible he had felt while watching her cry the previous evening. "I'm sorry about last night," Bryan told her softly, making Sonia blink at him in surprise as she hadn't been expecting an apology, especially not at that moment.

"Huh?"

"I wouldn't have played such a prank on you had I known you had such a painful memory. I'm sorry," Bryan murmured again for her ears alone.

She felt oddly touched by his apology, so she looked away, "It's fine. I was only worried about you," Sonia said, feeling slightly embarrassed now that she remembered that he had seen her in that state. She was sure her face had been red, especially her nose.

The sides of Bryan's lips twitched in amusement when he noticed that she looked embarrassed by his apology. She seemed like one of those people who didn't know how to respond to an apology. Or was she perhaps embarrassed because he had seen her crying? Knowing Sonia, that was probably it.

"Do you know what I discovered last night?" Bryan asked, making her turn to look at him once again with a pair of curious green eyes.

"You look very hot when you are pissed. Also, I didn't think a person could look so beautiful when crying, until last night," Bryan said, looking into her eyes with such an intensity that made Sonia's heart flutter. Not that she believed him anyway, since she knew she was definitely not beautiful when she cried.

She blinked at him in confusion when his right hand moved to her face and he moved his thumb over her cheek in a caress as he said, "However, no matter how pretty you look when you cry, I don't want to see your tears."

What was he doing? Why was he being so sweet? What was she doing? Why was her heart fluttering this way? Her main aim here was to make him fall in love with her, only after that could she fall in love with him. So why was her heart feeling funny? She asked herself as she turned to look around when she heard the clicking sound of cameras that reminded her that they were not alone in the living room. She couldn't believe that for a moment there she had completely forgotten about everything and everyone else because she was engrossed in their conversation.

At last, now she knew why he was being so sweet. He was made for the camera after all and his actor mode had been activated, Sonia thought as she tried to calm her fluttering heart and play along with him.

"That's so sweet of you," Sonia said with a sweet smile as she allowed her face to rest on his palm. They both looked up when Mia stopped in front of them.

Bryan reached out his left hand and took the box she offered him, before turning to look at Sonia, "Although you already look perfect, and I hate to tamper with perfection, I think this piece of jewelry would be perfect on you," Bryan said as he opened the box which held a diamond earring stud.

When he looked at her ears earlier, he had noticed that although the pair of earrings she was wearing looked new like she had just gotten them, they didn't look very expensive. Knowing the kind of fans he had, he knew they were going to take note of that, and make comments that might embarrass Sonia. Hence, he had called Mia to find out if that was the only piece of jewelry they had purchased during their shopping. Mia had in turn informed him that Sonia had insisted that she didn't want to use his money to buy anything that she couldn't afford for herself.

On hearing that, he had asked Mia to look through his closet where he usually kept the gifts he received from both fans and companies whose products he endorsed, to see if she would find something better.

Sonia opened her mouth to refuse, but Bryan placed a finger on her lips to shut her up before leaning forward to whisper into her ear, "Don't you think it is weird to reject a gift from your fiance? Be a good girl, and let me fix it, okay?" Bryan asked in a husky voice, and Sonia swallowed past the lump in her throat as she gave him a short nod, while Mia watched the both of them with an amused expression.

They could both deceive themselves all they liked that they were acting for the camera, but from where Mia stood, it was clear as daylight that Sonia was also beginning to fall for Bryan, whether she knew it or not. This was going to be fun to watch.. She couldn't wait to see who would open up first.
