Chapter Twenty Seven
"You sure your kid's normal?" Christian scrunched up his nose in displeasure. Why would a 5-year-old want this nasty hairy fella?
Sophia glared at him, "Keep your voice low.." She shushed him.
It was 3:14 a.m and Sophia and Christian were currently on a mission to dispose of this spider in the jungle nearby.
Well, that's not exactly how it started...
9 HOURS AGO
"So you're telling me this shit here is a pet? And you named him?" Christian literally gagged. Sophia gave him a nasty look warning him with her eyes.
"Charlie..it's his name" Serenity huffed. Everyone was giving her weird looks and she didn't understand why Charlie was such a good boy. He ate his food and slept all day, they didn't have to take him for walks nor bathe him. So what was the problem exactly?
"You can touch it if you want, he's friendly. I guess he's learning how to jump" Serenity walked closer to Christian and held up the glass box, her other hand opening the lid and the spider was quick to run towards the new found opening.
Both Sophia and Christian literally ran out of the room yelling, Sophia threw her purse on the floor and pushed Christian out of her way making him stumble to the side. "You stupid woman!" He yelled as he regained his posture and followed her, both of them running zig zag till they reached the 'safe zone' which was outside the mansion.
They later decided that they have to get that thing out of that house by any means without letting Conner or Serenity figuring out their plan.
"I'm very much sure that no one keeps a tarantula as a fucking pet in their right minds"
"That's my daughter you're talking about" She punched him in the gut and he instantly rolled over. "Whole family is fucking crazy!" He hissed as he clutched his stomach.
Sophia rolled her eyes, why was this guy even a bodyguard?
''For a kid, he's just an innocent pet" She lowered her volume, not wanting to wake Serenity up even though they were still outside her room.
"Oh yeah? So when are you going to buy him a chew toy and a big house?"
"He's a spider, not a dog!"
"Oh really! I never fucking noticed! I thought he was just an innocent pet!"
They continued for another five minutes till both of them agreed it was time to take out that thing.
"Okay, let's go over the plan once more. I get the box from inside and give it to you, you put it in this bag and take it out of the house and throw it away somewhere he can live happily"
Christian scoffed, "Live happily? What are you 5?"
"Don't forget I punch like a bitch"
He instantly shut up, "Fine. We don't have much time. Go go GO!" He hissed.
Sophia quietly opened held the door knob and turned it around, opening the door. She took out her phone and switched on the torch. She tip-toed into the room and moved her body without causing much noise.
Firstly she turned to double check that her daughter for sleeping and it made her guilty. She hated how guilty this made her but she just couldn't let her daughter have this creature as a pet.
She then turned towards the other side, where that glass jar was supposed to be.
She jogged towards the direction, her hand frantically moving from side to side looking for the glass jar but there was nothing. Where was that thing!
For the next 10 minutes, she looked all over the room for that jar but it was nowhere to be found.
Finally, she walked out, to her surprise Christian was standing there with a nervous look on his face, ''Got that thing?'' He whispered, even though he could see her standing there empty handed he just had to ask that question.
Sophia rolled her eyes, obviously pissed at his stupidity. ''It's not inside'' She whispered. Christian looked at her like she had just killed a dog, ''It's not inside his jar? You mean he could be fucking hopping anywhere right now!'' In a flash, he took out his phone and turned on the light looking here and there.
''That's not what I mean, seriously who the hell gave you this position. That jar is missing and so is the spider''
''How can it just disappear!''
''I don't know! He's always sleeping around her!''
''Oh yeah? Where did it magically disappear miss I-don't-know-shit!''
''Christian seriously shut up'' She sighed, ''We don't have much time left, what are we gonna do?''
''Beats me!'' He took a step back and rested his back against the wall with his head in his hands.
''Oh yeah I'll beat you if you don't find out where he is!'' She lets out a growl, which was quite funny coming from her petite form even from him.
''Let's not fight right now, this mansion is a puzzle even for me so we can not find where he is even if we spend a whole day looking for it. Let's just go back, to our rooms and we'll look for it again tonight. It's almost 4, Conner's gonna be up''
Both of them walked away from her room keeping their steps soft so they don't make much noise, ''Why does Conner get up so early?'' Sophia really wanted to know why would a person in their right minds get up at 4 in the morning.
''You don't know?''
''If I did I wouldn't ask you, Sherlock''
Christian rolled his perfectly blue eyes and laughed, ''I like you, just as sassy as me. Well, he hardly sleeps you know, he has insomnia. Goes to sleep at a particular time every day and wakes up at 4, it's so fucked up.''
Sophia felt a sudden pang in her chest, she never knew he had insomnia, that problem may seem non-fatal but is extremely dangerous. She had read somewhere that it is caused due to depression, stress or anxiety. How can Conner have such a problem?
''Aren't you going in?'' Sophia looked up to find him staring at her confused. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't realise they were outside her room. ''Uh yea, night'' With that she walked in, closing the door behind her.
''Took you long enough''
Sophia let our a small yelp, ''Conner! What are you doing here!''
He chuckled, he was sitting on her bed, with his mobile in her hand. ''It's funny you know...'' He slowly got up, ''I introduce you to a person one day and the next day you're all buddy with him. Be it Zayn or Alberto in Paris or Christian here'' His voice seemed sharp, he didn't even bother to hide his displeasure.
''That's not true! I had some important work which was to be done-''
''Right. Work at 3 A.M. What are you? ghostbuster?''
Sophia narrowed her eyes but stayed put, knowing she was in his house and being sassy was not going to help. so instead she stared out at her window which stopped her from making any nasty remarks.
He walked closer to her, his steps were slow and extrememly painful to watch. Her heartbeat picked up, she knew what was going to happen.
''Why don't you ever come to me for help?'' He stopped right in front of her, his breath fanning over her face. Her eyes widened at the proximity. ''Conner I-''
In a flash, his hand shot up from his sides to grab her by her waist and pulled her closer to his body leaving no place for her to escape. He couldn't remember the last time he wanted to have a woman so close to him. His feelings was getting out of hand and he knew it won't be long before he loses his mind. Woman in his reach usually either completely annoyed him or angered him.
when he felt her shiver undernesth him, his mind literally screamed at him to take her right there in her mickey mouse t-shirt and shorts. ''Conner list-''
his hand shot up tp cover her mouth, he bend down to her lever, his lips touched her her ear as he gave it a small lick, ''Don't say my name like that baby, you don't know what it does to me''
Sophia could smell the alochol on his breath now, he was drunk.
He heard her say something, but it was muffled due to his hands. He let out a deep throaty chuckleand shook his head. ''So talkitive, I guess we need to fix that''
In a sudden rush, his hand was away from her mouth and his lips attacked hers in a lustful need of satisfaction. Her body was quick to react even thoug she wanted it to stop, she closed her eyes as his mouth took over and kissed her deeply. His kissing cotinued from her lips to planting ffeatherly kisses on her jaw, then her neck. ''The next time you choose another man over me..'' His grip on her waist tightened as he stopped kissing her and looked at her while her eyes remained closed, ''I won't be too nice anymore''. Just like he came closer, he stepped back but stll held her so she could regain her balance and stand. SHe looked at him while her hand touched her lips, it still tingled with sudden sensation.
Damn he was an excellent skilful upright devine kisser!
''Also, Charlie isn't going anywhere until my daughter says so'' With that he walked out of her room closing the door behind him with a slam making her jump. For her, this was weird, it was good, but weird.
The next day, to her surprise she never saw Conner. She was infromed by Sara that he had taken a flight to Paris for some kind of emmergency. When she talked to his assistant, she told her that it was something personal and not related to business.
She wondered what it was, that he had to go so suddenly.
________________________________________________________________________
''Sophia and Conner sitting under a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G'' Christian sang, as John laughed at her not even trying to comfort her. They had been at it for about three days, three days since Conner had gone.
''You guys really kissed?' John asked.
''Of course they did. I old you how I heard a yelp so I thought she was in some kind of danger, so I opened the door slowly to find her in his arms, he saw me and gave me such a nasty look I swear it was like he was planning my murder in his mind. So like a gentlemen in a flash I close the door and evesdrop only to hear them sucking each other's face off''
Both John and Christian laughed even more making Sophia highly uncomfortable for the next half and hour. She made a mental note of giving Conner a peice of her mind as soon as she saw him.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Sophia walked into her cabin and closed the door shit behind her, keeping Christian or John from entering. Those two were plain asses and she hated them for making her feel so fucking embarrassed. on top of that, Conner has suddenly taken a flight to paris the next day without explaining his actions to her. She walked over to her chair and sat down with such force even the chair trembled. ''I'll kill that Manhattan chucky'' She growled mentally, making all sorts of horrible plans to murder him.
She took out her laptop and started working on it, to her surprise her day was going good. Her pervious records were matching up and she had less work load today. SHe made a mental note to go home early and take Serenity out for ice cream.
Her phone rang suddnely, making her jump a bit. ''Hello?'' It was Conner's assistant telling her that he was back and was asking or some recent reports. Sophia found it odd, he never made her assistant call her. She told her to inform him that she'll be there as soon as she finishes her work here.
So after five minutes she was standing outside his office door, something seemed off. She pushed the door open and entered, quickly shutting the door behind her.
''You better-'' But she couldn't complete her sentence, her body froze and all colour drained out of her face making her look like a ghost. She couldn't believe her eyes, she just couldn't. In front of her sat Conner with a smile on his face, it looked forced but genuine at the same time making her heartbeat race.
''Ah! Miss Dixon, I would like you to meet my new business partners, Mr. Salvador Diaz and Mr. Richard Morin. I hope we get along well''
