The Arranged Bride

Sophia's POV

"Nick, we don't have much time. It's just around the corner. We need to decide on the theme fast." I handed him the coffee mug and settled down beside him with the tab in my hand.

" We also need to choose the cake flavour. And the guest list remains to be finalized yet. We got so much to do." I huffed out . Nick put the mug down and moved closer to me. He took the tab away from my hand and kept it aside.

" Nick-"

" Relax, I had already finalised the guest list and as for cake , it has to be chocolate flavoured, Ethan's favourite." I sighed and leaned on his chest only to sit up the next moment.

" Did you book the venue?" He rolled his eyes and pulled me back to relax against him.

" I did."

" And-" Nick cut me off.

" All settled. Now shut up and kiss me." I nodded in understanding.

" Okay th-" I cut myself off realising what he had said. I raised a brow at him.

" What ? I do deserve a kiss for all the work I have done." He shrugged at me. I shook my head at him and turned away but the very next moment he turned my head to face him and stole a kiss.

" Thief!" I mumbled once he released me.

" Oh no! Don't say that. I just claimed what I deserve." He flashed a grin at me, a perfect handsome grin.

" You know, I want to surprise Ethan with something. " I said putting my head on his chest.

" Well, we are throwing him a surprise party." Nick responded.

" Yes, we are. But, he would be already expecting something like this because every year, he has his birthday party. He is a smart enough to not guess it. What will remain a surprise for him is the theme of the party but I want to do something that he wouldn't have even guessed. " I said thinking of every possible surprises. After I realized that Nick didn't respond I looked at him. He was staring at my face with a handsome smile etched on his face.

" Will you say something or not ?" He just smiled and shook his head. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion but didn't press further.

Uhh... We can think of something that he
