One Wild Night

Sonia's face lit up with a bright smile at his words, "Is my hearing poor? Or did you just forget to include a please in your request?" Sonia asked, making Bryan grin as he stopped tickling her.

"I guess your hearing is poor, cause I actually said, could you please move back into this bedroom? How could you not have heard that?" Bryan asked incredulously making Sonia giggle merrily.

"Yeah. I thought I heard that," Sonia said with a satisfied smile. The previous night when he had been about to leave her bedroom and she had called out his name to stop him, she had wanted to ask him if he would love for her to move back into his bedroom. She was glad that she didn't have to be the one to bring it up anymore.

"So? Will you?" Bryan asked, looking at her with hopeful eyes.

Sonia sighed. Call her confused, but in as much as she wanted to move into his bedroom with him and do a lot of things with him, she knew her feelings were involved, and she still needed to be very careful lest she gets hurt, "What are we doing, Bryan?" She asked, still sitting on his thighs and looking into his face.

He should have known Sonia was the type to ask such direct questions. Knowing how sensitive she was, he wanted to be as honest with her as he could.

Bryan let out a long breath, "I don't know if it's too early to say this, but I think I might be falling for you. However, I don't want to give this thing between us a name yet, until I'm very sure about my exact feelings for you," Bryan confessed looking into her eyes as he raised a hand to pat her cheek in a loving gesture.

Sonia's heart fluttered at his words. He was falling for her? How? Why? When did he start feeling this way? Not that she didn't know that she was someone who was very lovable and all, but she was just surprised at how quickly he had admitted his feelings. She wanted to ask him a lot of questions, but the happiness that was bubbling inside of her at his words rendered her speechless.

Bryan smiled at her when he saw the happiness on her face, and relaxed a bit, knowing that the feeling was mutual.

They both turned to the door when they heard a knock, "You two lovebirds need to wrap up whatever you're doing in there, you have people waiting," Mia's teasing words came from the other end of the door.

"Let's continue with this conversation later in the day," Bryan suggested and Sonia gave him a nod as she slid off his thighs.

"I was hoping for at least a kiss," Bryan muttered in disappointment, and Sonia grinned at him.

"You can always get that later. Let's join them," Sonia said as she walked ahead of him, humming a happy tune.

"You should try to reach your best friend again. I will stall," Bryan suggested, and Sonia turned around to blow him a kiss before walking out through the door.

Once she walked into the living room, she made eye contact with Mia who was standing at one end of the living room, and Mia gave her a wink. She flashed Mia a happy smile as she approached her.

"You look really happy today," Mia observed.

"I'm happy. Bryan just confessed to me that he thinks he is falling for me," Sonia whispered under her breath for Mia's ears only.

"Bryan actually admitted that out loud?" Mia asked in a surprised whisper, and Sonia smiled again bobbing her head.

"Yep! You have to keep this to yourself though," Sonia warned, and Mia used her fingers to make a zipping gesture on her lips to show her lips were sealed.

Of course, she had counted on Bryan falling head over heels in love with Sonia, but she hadn't expected that they would both make such fast-paced progress in their relationship.

"By the way, Lucy called twice," Mia informed Sonia as she handed her the phone which she had been holding on to during the shoots earlier.

"Thank you," Sonia said as she took the phone from Mia and dialed Lucy's line before walking away.

Meanwhile, Lucy and Tom stood there staring at each other under a tree shade. Although she liked and respected her boss, Lucy wasn't impressed by his words and attitude.

"I already have the kind of man I want, so you don't have to worry about my choice in men," Lucy said in a harsh tone that told Tom that she didn't want to talk about this anymore.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you," Tom said when he realized that she was annoyed.

Lucy didn't bother to deny that she was angry, "Thank you for showing me this place, SIR. Perhaps we should head back to the company now. Unless of course there are other things you need to know about me, aside from my love life, in order for us to work together productively, SIR," Lucy added the last part of her sentence in a brittle voice, making it clear that he was still her boss, and if he wanted her to continue to respect him, then he shouldn't cross the line.

She hoped she wasn't crossing the line, but she also didn't care if she was crossing the line. He had crossed the line first by talking to her so proudly about dating her, and by trying to underrate her boyfriend simply because he wasn't as wealthy as him.

Tom could tell by her words and tone that she was trying to put him in his place. He looked at her, wondering how she suddenly became so bold, going from not breathing in his presence to speaking harshly. She must have felt pretty insulted by his gesture. This was the time when he really wanted to know what was in her head. The only way he could for that was by talking to her as Tom. Unfortunately, he couldn't present himself to her now, especially not when someone was out there trying to find out about him. He needed to first know who it was, and what it was the person wanted from him before showing that face again.

"I guess we can leave now," he said to her, and without receiving a response from her, they both returned to the car.

Once inside the car, Lucy picked up her phone and noticed she had a missed call notification from Lucas. Just as she was about to dial his line, Sonia's duo video call came in. She quickly connected her earpiece to her phone.

"Hey, baby!" Sonia greeted, making Lucy's lips curve in a smile. Somehow she always felt happy merely by hearing Sonia's voice and seeing her face.

"I guess you no longer care about me because you are a celebrity now," Lucy teased, trying to keep her voice down so that Tom who was driving the car wouldn't overhear her conversation.

"I know you don't mean that. I'm sorry I've been too busy to talk to you. I'm featuring in a reality show with Bryan so it's taking most of my time. I barely even have time to work on my story anymore," Sonia complained with a pout.

"Yeah, I watched the interview. You look really happy," Lucy observed with a small smile.

"So I've been told. I guess I'm happy," Sonia said with a happy smile as she looked across the room at Bryan who had just come in. Their eyes met, and Bryan winked at her making her grin as she returned her attention to Lucy.

"Are you busy at the moment? Or do you have time to chat right now?" Lucy asked curiously when she noticed that Sonia seemed distracted. She wanted to know if it was a good time to tell Sonia about all that had happened between her and Tom.

"Can it wait? Is it something very urgent?" Sonia asked, looking around as she tried to come up with an excuse to leave so she could give Lucy attention.

Sensing that Sonia was busy, Lucy shook her head as she didn't want to bother her, "It can wait. Let's talk when you are less busy, okay?" Lucy asked, and Sonia couldn't help feeling sad that she couldn't give Lucy her attention at that moment.

"I'm very sorry, Lu. I promise to make it up to you, okay?" Sonia said apologetically.

"Sure. It's fine. Don't be sorry," Lucy said with a small smile.

"What about your boyfriend? And your boss?" Sonia asked curiously.

"Uhm, let's talk about that later," Lucy said, and Sonia nodded, realizing that Lucy wasn't alone.

"I will give you a call the moment we are done, okay?" Sonia asked curiously.

"Sure. Let's talk later then, I love you," Lucy said before hanging up.

***********

Once the private investigator was done with organizing all the information he had gathered, he picked up his phone and dialed Mrs. Miller's line, as he wanted to deliver his findings to her.

"I have some interesting findings that I need to share with you," he informed her the moment the call connected, without bothering with pleasantries as the relationship between them was strictly business.

"Interesting. Have it delivered to my residence," she said, before hanging up the call.

Once the private investigator dropped his phone, he heard a knock on his door and stood up to go see who was at the door.
