(A/N ABOVE PICTURE SOPHIA DIXON)

Sophia was waiting impatiently for Conner to return. He had been gone for a good 20 minutes and still hadn't returned. She wondered what was going on, was he okay? Because Serenity was the last person to throw tantrums at someone else's house. She knew her limits, Sophia made sure of that.

She tapped her foot against the floor anxiously waiting for them to return because the food had already been set down.

She turned around to look at Sara, "What's taking him so long?"

"I don't know Miss Dixon. I'll send one of our security men to go check on them" With that she walked towards the large wooden door and just beside it was a red coloured bell, same like one in Serenity's room. She rang it and in about five seconds, 3 huge men came in. They looked high on alert but still had their hands behind their back. Sophia looked at them like she was dreaming, every one of them was hot from head to toe and don't even let her get started on their body.

She looked at each one, they looked identical to sone extent. They were wearing all black, only their shirts were white. They had black shades on and their hair were kept in a neat manner.

The three of them had the exact same blonde hair colour, she wondered  they had blue eyes too. Then they'll officially be one of those heartthrobs.

She got up from her seat and walked over to Sara who looked at one of them a little linger than she did the other two, the middle one. "Calm down guys we don't have any problem" Sara let out a nervous laugh, still eyeing the middle one. Sophia saw them visibly relax.

"Well then what did you call us here for?" The one on the right asked, he was standing just next to me. His muscular  arms reached towards his hair as he ran his long fingers  through his hair, "I was watching  porn you know" he chuckled.

Sophia blushed, he was way too straightforward.

"Go check on Mr. Manhattan, he still hasn't returned" Sara ordered them, but they looked at each other and  suddenly chuckled.

"Doll, Don't tell us you called in the emergency for this?" The one on the left spoke.

"Yeah, he's a big boy. He can take care of himself" The one on the left chuckled.

Sara huffed, "Come on Christian, you know that's your duty!"

So his name was Chirstian..

"Yeah you're right, like always" Finally the one in the middle spoke. He turned his head towards me and offered a gentle smile. "You must be Miss Sophia. I'm Jacob, this is Christian and this," he pointed towards the man on his left, "Is John." John offered a small smile and held out his hand for Sophia to shake, she took it reluctantly. 

These guys seemed too goofy to be bodyguards.

"Enough you three, stop making her uncomfortable" Sara butted in. "Go bring Mr. Manhattan back"

Christian groaned, "Come on! Told you you're worrying over nothing. He knows how to kill or injure a person in more ways than the entire security force does. He has been trained that way so I hardly believe someone would hurt him"

Sophia looked  at them shocked, they were way too casual to be called guards.

Suddenly the door to the dining room opened and Conner walked in. He held no emotions in his dark blue eyes what so ever. He looked a bit tired, Sophia wondered what happened to him in those ten minutes.

"What are you three doing here?" He asked as he ignored her presence and walked back to the dining table. Sophia silently followed him. "Where's Sera?"

Conner sat in his seat and took the knife in one hand and the fork in another," She felt  tired so I let her sleep. But Sara," Sara instantly came jogging towards him and bowed her head a little. "The first thing in the morning is you make sure she gets her favourite meal for breakfast"

Sara nodded her head and walked away towards the same direction from where Conner just came in.

Sophia sat down on the chair beside him, she felt something was off. Before she could ask what was wrong, Christian  sat just beside her. Compared to Sara, his manners were zero.

"Sara ranged the bell bro, I was busy humping that chick in my imagination" He slowly took off his black glasses and kept them the table.

The first thing Sophia noticed was his eyes, light blue coloured. So they were the typical heartthrob after all.

Now able to see his whole face, she realised just how beautiful  that man really was.

"Take a picture, it'll last longer" Christian winked at her making her blush instantly. Sophia turned her head towards Conner trying to hide her blush.

His jaw visibly clenched as he looked at Christian. "You may leave" He barked, not even trying to hide his resentment.

Christian held his hands up in surrender, "Chill bro just leaving"

"You totally deserved it" John laughed as he walked out of the door followed by Jacob and Christian who said something like  Conner having the time of his month...

After they all left, Conner and Sophia were the only ones left behind with his twi butlers who were quiet all this time. Her heartbeat instantly picked  up. Being near him has always been a task for uo because  she always end up goofing up.

"They are my childhood best friends" Conner started, "We went to the same training camps and same high school. In case you're wondering those three are triplets. They almost look alike but as you can see for yourself, they have different personalities"

Sophia nodded her head, that explained their chilled out attitude in front of Satan.  A young butler poured some red wine for her and Conner in their wine glass "Thank you" she offered him a sweet smile which he returned with a bow.

What was with this bowing? This wasn't the medieval period anymore.

Sophia looked at dining table and to her surprise, she saw everything Indian. She looked up at him, "No way! Did you ask them for this?" Her eyes lit up like a child who just got their favourite lollipop and balloon.

Conner looked at her for a moment, taking in her beautiful, innocent  features.
He gave her a small smiled, "Just wanted to prepare you"

Sophia gave him a confused look, "Prepare me for what?"

Conner looked at her with a mischievous glint in his eyes,"Don't tell me you forgot him already?"

Sophia was now confused more than ever. Him who?

"Who are you talking about?"

Conner cut through the roasted chicken with his sharp knife and smiled, "Your best friend. He's coming over to stay with us tomorrow"

Sophia looked at him like he had grown another head. The only boy best friend she  had was in high school.

"Who? Who are you talking about?"

Conner stopped his movements and looked up at her, he pushed his body forward in her direction and spoke in a low voice,
"Charlie, the pet tarantula of course"

______________________________________________

Sophia applied a nude shade of lipstick which matched her outfit. She pouted her plump lips, turned her head to the left and then right, checked her makeup once  more from every angle and finally stood back and admired herself.

"You" She pointed at the mirror,"Are going to deal with everything"

She grabbed her purse and walked out of her giant room, which had a chandelier  in the centre, for what even she didn't  know. She turned of the lights, closed the door behind her and walked towards the staircase while her hair bounced up and down her shoulder as she walked.

To her surprise, she saw two of the triplets from last night standing there.
As she approached them, they turned their heads around and offered her a smile. And one of them winked.

"Hello Christian" She greeted with a smirk.

His face visibly changed from happy to confused. "How'd you guess?"

Sophia shrugged her shoulders "Talent."

The other twin laughed, "My turn. Who am I ?"

Sophia halted, she looked at the other  twin, oh like hell she knew who he was.

But she had to make a wild guess about who he was, "John"

She saw his expression change, the same as  his brother. "Bazinga! How'd you guess?"

Sophia let out a small chuckle. "Told you, talent" in her mind she did a happy dance. Her guess was correct After all.

The three of them walked down the stairs towards the main door. To her surprise, Conner was standing at the door looking at  his watch. "You're late"

Sophia rolled her eyes, "A lady is never late. The rest of the men are too early"

Conner looked at her and shook his head  muttering something. Sophia walked up next to him and Conner started walking, followed by the twins. Sophia turned around and gave them a questioning look. "Are you guys following us?"

Conner did not even look at her, "It's  not following, it's protecting. After what happened the day before yesterday I've provided extra security for you. And no-" he held up his hand, "Don't even bother arguing."

Sophia zipped her mouth. Damn him! She was exactly going to argue with him for being so controlling and paranoid.

Christian chuckled, "Ohhhhh looks like  both of them have the time of the month" Sophia glared at him, jerk.

Sophia wanted to punch something! Anything! This man made decisions without asking her! He was so stupid selfcentered and controlling. Did she mention stupid?

"Let's roll" Christian took out his glasses and put them on, trying to look all bad and dangerous. Well, he did look dangerous.

The four of them got into the limousine. Conner and John sat on one side while Sophia and Christian "Why can't we have a normal car?" Sophia whined. There was enough lavish life for a day already.

"This right here," Christian pointed his finger downwards, "Is bulletproof and the safest vehicle out there, it's one of my babies"

Conner huffed at  his response. It even wasn't his car yet he showed it off like he just brought it yesterday. 

But it wasn't like Conner minded. Christian has always been like a brother to him so he was always allowed to di stuff which others won't. 

Not to forget he was one of the best man in their entire force. People would be fooled by his funny and stupid personality. Who would guess this man was a professional assassin who just killed two major politicians while playing Mario.  This man was a living death machine. His gun shots were perfect, he could shoot with his eyes closed and still hit the target.

All in all Christian was a devil in the body of a child.

Sophia took out her phone and started going through email. She suddenly came across one from Sherry," Stop being so lazy all the time. You have work which needs to be done so you better bring you pretty ass to work today. You have no idea how many files are pending because of you and you're  clumsiness.
P.S.- Grow up kiddo.

Sophia was visibly fuming. She felt like she was going to murder this bitch.
Today she was going to teach this woman a lesson she would never forget, after all kids prank elders all the time.

_______________________________________

It was break time and Sophia was already exhausted. Sherry wasn't lying when she said things were to be done. She has been signing files and rescheduling her meeting all day. Right not she was exhausted.

"Your coffee" Mike came inside her cabin and kept a hot steaming cup of coffee in front of her while he sat their with chocolate milkshake in his hand.

"Thanks"

"You look awfully exhausted"

Sophia rolled her eyes, "Tell me about it. I didn't show up for work one day and this happens. This is frustrating"

Suddenly Sherry came in without knocking  shooting daggers as Sophia. She walked straight up to her fuming. "Why are so many files on my table!" She hissed.

"That's your work" Sophia chuckled.

"You stupid-"

"Watch your language old lady" Sophia and  Mike chuckled. Calling someone elder old specially elder women  was a crime.

Sherry narrowed her eyes, wanting to punch this bitch. "You'll pay"

"We're already paying you more than you deserve"

Her eyes widened. How dare she disrespect her like that. She was fuming by now.

"Oh my god, you're fuming" Sophia gasped and stood up. "You need to calm down old lady we don't want you dying with heart attack"

In an instant, Sophia bend down, picked up a glass of water and poured it all over Sherry. "There, done. Don't thank me"

Sophia sat back down in her chair with a satisfied smirk. Mike was literally on the floor laughing, for him this was hilarious. You don't always get to see Sophia's sassy side.

"You bitch!" Sherry screamed.

"You witch" Sophia laughed back waving her hand dismissing her and not even looking at her.

Sherry knew she had no power against this woman but soon. Soon she'll be rich and powerful and pay this bitch a personal visit. She'll show what she was made off.

Without another word Sherry walked out of the door fuming.

"That was hilarious" Mike commented.

Sophia relaxed back in her chair. With one hand holding her coffee mug and one working on her laptop. This was just the start.

____________________________________________

Sophia was exhausted as she walked out of the Manhattan office. Her legs felt like jello and she had this ache in her back from sitting all day working on files.

"You look awful" Out of nowhere, Christian and John appeared. Sophia rolled her eyes,"Geez thanks"

"The show you put out there with that old lady was hilarious" John chuckled.

Sophia stopped on her tracks,"How do you know?"

"Darling we are your bodyguards for a reason. We were there all that time and yet you never saw us" Christian winked at her. Sophia was actually surprised, they seemed to be exceptionally good at hiding.

"Let's get going now?" John jogged over to a limousine and quickly opened the door for her, "M'lady.." 
Sophia chuckled at his gesture and got inside thanking him.

"Where's Conner?" She asked once she realised he was no where to be seen.

"You're lover boy has gone home already. Not his fault you like to stay late till you work your ass off"

"He's not my lover boy" She huffed.

"Oh please" John intervened for the first time, "You're eyes practically undress him every time you see him"

Sophia looked at him with her eyes wide and mouth open. John was not the perverted one and she did not undress him with her eyes.

Well sometimes...

She shook her head trying to block those thoughts. After the dinner where she fantisized about him and her on the counter, her fantasies have increased about him.

"Oh still fantasizing about him?" John laughed and Christian joined in. Sophia was as red as a tomato. She wished the earth would open up and swallow her. These two were impossible! 

The rest of the ride was spent talking and making fun of Sophia. She didn't even feel like these two were on guard at all.

She wondered if she was ever going to get along with these two without being embarrassed.

Stupid Conner leaving her with stupid people acting so stupid!

But suddenly a though crossed her mind making her shiver. She didn't want to  admit it but she finally had to face her worst fear. He was there at home....waiting.

Charlie was back.
