The Arranged Bride

Chapter - 42

Sophia's POV

" Good morning, Sophia." Nick pecked my forehead, waking me up. As I opened my eyes I was welcomed with the sight of a smiling Nick.

" Good morning." I yawned and looked at him.

" You're here so early?" He chuckled at my words causing me to frown.

" Not happening. I will not go home and moreover I am not tired . I slept here." He pointed to the sofa in the room. Seriously? Just by looking at it, one can tell it is uncomfortable.

" Oh you aren't tired ? But the eyebags suggest otherwise." I narrowed my eyes at him to which he sighed.

" Trust me Sophia when I say that yesterday I got the best sleep in days. The last few days when you weren't there, I didn't get an wink of sleep. Being here , close to you, keeps me sane." He gently caressed my cheeks. I instantly melted at his action and words.

" Fine , atleast go and shower. You stink." I scrunched up my nose showing how bad he smelled though it wasn't true.

But last night you didn't say that when you asked me to kiss you." His fingers were lazily caressing my lips. He was so close that his breath was hitting my face. I can never get used to being so close to him . I shivered at
