The Girl He Craves

Sophie’s pov

There’s cheering around, but my eyes can’t move away from Aiden to see those who were cheering.

I knew that it was the people in the store who saw and heard everything. I didn’t need to know more.

He smiles brightly in relief and slips the ring on my trembling fingers. His fingers were warm, and gentle.

“The color matches your eyes,” He whispered and looked up at me with a grin.

I nod agreeing with him even though I didn’t even hear a word he just said. My mind was a bit too hazy with what just happened. I could not focus a hundred percent yet.

He comes closer, his bigger body almost pressing against mine. My heart is beating in my chest when one of his arms slip around my waist and hold me firmly.

He leans down and kissed my cheek and whispered. “Nice acting.”

His words had cold water splashing across my body, freezing me and pushing reality in my face. Acting.

We were just acting.

S**pid Sophie. Of course the two of you were acting.

He didn’t mean a single word that came out of his mouth.

“We need to show them that you’re extremely happy. We both are.” He whispered, kissing my cheeks again. His lips on my skin burned through me and heated my veins.

I ignored the feeling, setting cold ice in my heart instead. “How are we supposed to do that?” I whispered, my heart aching knowing those beautiful words he said had no true meaning behind them.

What a waste of beautiful words.
