The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

When I saw Nicholas walking towards me , I became a bit nervous but I covered it up and smiled at him.

I don't know why he sounded rude when he said that he wanted to talk .

I could tell he really was flattered at Char's compliment.

There was some kind of tension between him and Ryan . Sensing it, I excused myself and Nicholas .

He wanted to decide on what we were going to sell people about how we met and all. We eventually came up with one.

Just then I heard Ethan . He seemed happy to see me and said that he missed me. Well no shit , I was happy to see him as well. He was such a cute and happy kid. He looked quite handsome in that small suit. I could totally bet that he would break hearts when he grows up.

We turned our head to Mr. Carter congratulating us on our engagement and thanking everyone for joining. He called us on the dance floor.

Nicholas , led me to the dance floor and and we started dancing to the song. Our steps were coordinated and our hands fitted perfectly.

Our gazes met a few times and I was always the one to break it.

It felt perfect but would have been better if we were in love.

But I hope we will reach there someday.

Everyone complimented us on our performance and went on ,on how perfect we looked together.

Exhausted I was seated when a familiar tall handsome guy approached me. I recognized him from the lift at the office, Caleb.

I learnt that he was Nicholas's best friend since they were infants. Initially , he seemed a little guarded and was as if trying to understand me . but after few minutes he was his own self. He was a fun and carefree guy , one with whom you can discuss everything. Maybe we could become good friends.

The rest of event passed and by the time I came back, I was utterly exhausted. Walking in heels for hours is no joke.

I snuggled closer to Bree and thought of everything that had happened today.

thoughts were about Nicholas. His brown eyes , sharp jawline , and the sexy
