It was one a.m., Sam came back to the penthouse and told everybody that all went well as plan. So, Stefan rang Ben and James to tell them the latest situation. The two were stationed at the electrical control box for the VIP floor! That would be the next step!
They were in the kitchen as Sam and Sofia were hungry. Wirata served them the Thai porridge. They were scooping it down and no talking. Stefan was sitting and put in arm around Wirata"s shoulder.
Wirata noticed that Sophia did not talk to Sam much. And she was grumpy when looking at him. Wirata did not want to interview any of them yet. She let them eat first and would talk to them tomorrow about their problem. For now, everybody had to help the president to get his Queen back first.
"What"s the matter? When are you going to stopping making that face at me?"
Sam could not stand it anymore. She was so irritated since they left England and did not talk to him. When he asked she would answer with her snappish tone.
Sophia refused to look at the wayward man. She continued eating. The big hand then pulled her porridge bowl away. She immediately sent a daggered gaze at him.
"Give me back my porridge, Sam!"
She ordered with a furious voice. Her beautiful face looked so unpleased.
Sam raised his eyebrow up
"Oh, I thought you had forgotten your mouth at the flat."
He said sarcastically. Sam did not get it, how she could carry anger so long, across the continents like this. He never got angry with her for longer than one hour. His face would be tired and ached if he made a moody face too long. But sometimes he just pretended to. However, it was not as long as her.
"Sam! Give it back to me now!"
She shouted and stared at him with her angry face. Sophia was still felt displeased with the man. It was because he had ruined her plan for camping and she had already paid for it! She had planned with her cla.s.smates and was looking forward to it. And he said he would be busy with his studies and could not make it both for camping and party.
But the day before flying he told her he had booked a flight for them to come back home for Stefan"s party and to see Wirata! He found the time to look for the flight but did not have a spare minute to tell her to get prepared!
She knew he did not want her to go camping with her friends. So she had to make the decision to choose between going camping or coming home with him. Looked at him now, scooping the porridge into his mouth enjoyingly and one hand holding her bowl!
What an idiot!
"Sam!"
"Huh..."
He lifted his face up to look at her. His angelic face did not lure her to forgive him easily this time. He liked to do things just to please himself. It was too much and he needed to be told, definitely this time!
"I am hungry! Give me back my porridge. Or I won"t talk to you forever! And don"t mess with my mood as I am feeling like to stab somebody with a knife right now!"
The turbid voice said. Her eyes glanced at a steak knife in front of her to tell him she meant business!
Sam looked at her sullen face. He was amused to see a smear of porridge at a corner of her mouth. She must be really hungry as she said.
Her wavy, long blonde hair was loosely and carelessly tied up. Some fell on her cheeks. He smirked and gave the bowl back to the hungry and moody woman. But reached to mess her hair up a little.
"Hey! Idiot!"
That was it. n.o.body could mess up with her hair and he knew it. Sophia sprung up and extended her hands to strangle him across the table!
"Orck! Don"t squeeze! Orck! Sophia! Let go of my neck! Orck!"
Sam was shouting as Sophia was squeezing hard and did not listen. Sam"s eyes widened and rolled up.
"Okay, kids. We"ll let you sort out your problem, but be hurried, okay? We still have the plans to finish."
Stefan said and dragged Wirata out of the kitchen after watching the scene quietly and with amus.e.m.e.nt for a while. He did not want to interfere with the two children. Let them sort each other out as usual. Wirata wanted to be a referee but then she thought better leave them to it. So they went to sit in the living room instead.
Sophia squeezed hard until seeing his face got red and had a dangling tongue, so she let go. Sam hurriedly raised his hand and rubbed his neck.
"Are you crazy? I am really hurt!"
"You started it first! The old case still has not been solved yet and don"t you dare to create more trouble. "
Sophia gave him a piece of her mind. Then she carried on eating her porridge.
Sam shrugged and continued eating his, too. The kitchen was quiet.
"What"s the matter with those two?"
Stefan asked Wirata. The tall figure sat at the corner of the sofa and pulled her to lean on his chest. Wirata lifted her legs up and rested relaxingly holding his hands on her stomach.
"They always like to tease one another like that since school days. I don"t know what their problem is this time but we will find out soon enough. These two, if they don"t bite each other"s neck each day, they won"t be able to enjoy their meals."
She replied with her soft voice. Stefan kissed her silky hair and looked at the time.
"Same as me, I won"t enjoy my meal if I don"t get to bite you, to suck you and to drink you."
The l.u.s.tful man tried to link two different things together.
"You know? Our baby doesn"t like it when his daddy has a filthy and dirty mind like this."
Wirata said with her straight face. Stefan raised his eyebrow.
"Really? He can say that much? Or is it the mother"s saying, huh? You are very cheeky nowadays."
He made a knowing smirk and shook his head. Planting kisses on her cheeks. Wirata laughed when he bit and nuzzled her neck as it made her feel tingling.
Stefan looked at the time again and turned to look at the kitchen.
"Hey! Have you finished eating, yet? It"s getting late now and you need to go down to your room so that Ben and James can carry on the next step."
The harsh voice shouted to the younger brother in the kitchen.
"Okay, okay, bro. b.l.o.o.d.y h.e.l.l. Give me a minute."
Sam shouted back.
It was 1.20 a.m. The two bodyguards were down at the VIP floor, ready to switch off the electrical circuit for this specific floor.
Because the mother of the two men was afraid of the darkness and the ghosts. This was her secret. Only people in the family knew this!
Sam and Sophia finished their eating and also cleaned up their bowls.
"Let"s go down to our room."
Sam said when they wiped their hands on the towel.
"I am staying here, I have talked to Wine already."
Sophia said with a distant voice.
"Hey... You can"t do that. The whole floor will be dark and I don"t want to sleep alone in a dark cold room."
That was his reason! Everything was focused on Mr. Self-pleaser!
"That"s not my problem!"
Sophia shot back. The man thought she was his blanket?!!
"Come on, let"s stay together. Tomorrow you can see my parents and say h.e.l.lo to them first thing in the morning."
He convinced her as he knew she respected his parents like her own parents. Sam put his arm across her shoulders and rocked her back and forth. The man smiled sweetly as he was trying to persuade her. Sophia sighed heavily and shook her head.
Regarding sleeping together in the same room was not uncommon for the two of them. As being close friends since primary school until university and now they had been living in the same flat. But she did not want to forgive him easily this time. She really needed to make it clear to him that he could not presume that she was going to follow him in every decision he made!
"No. I am still angry with you."
She said with a grumpy face. Sam turned her to face him. He sighed pretendingly.
"Come on, stop being a girl. Why are you angry this long, huh? It"s not good for your face, you know? You"ll get wrinkles before time. If it"s because I made you miss camping with your boyfriend, I am sorry, alright?! I apologize for being an obstacle between you and your lover. When we go back to England you can go camping as many times as you wish. But now we are here. What"s the point to be angry. It isn"t easy to get a flight during this time of the year you know that well and I was able to bring you home to our families. Where is the grat.i.tude for that?"
The man was always good at finding reasons to support his behaviors.
Sophia put the hands on her hips and stared at his handsome face that lured a lot of women who had ever come across Sam Mackenzie. He could be a hot model instead of studying to be a doctor. But it could be good for the patients to see a good looking doctor while they lay poorly on a hospital bed.
"You could have told me earlier, Sam. I was the one who planned and asked people to join the camping but then I left them just like this. What they are gonna say about me?! They are not gonna trust me again because it"s unacceptable!"
"I didn"t know either if I could get the tickets or not. It was the last minute booking deals some sort of. I said I am sorry. Isn"t that enough for you?"
Sam put his hands on his hips, too. The two were shouting at each other. They stared and no one blinked! Ten seconds later, Sam sighed out heavily. He pulled her to hug.
"Come on, FiFi. I am so tired now. And it"s getting late."
Sam made a weary sound. Sophia sighed.
"Alright. But we haven"t finished this yet. We will have to do a proper talk later."
She said with a stern face, determined to stand on her point. They have grown up now. She had to make sure he knew the boundary.
Sam nodded easily.
"Okay, okay. Let"s go now. "
He put his arm on her waist and walked out of the kitchen. He was glad she gave him a break, for now.
"Hurry guys! Ben and James are going to cut off the electricity soon."
Stefan said as soon as he saw Sam and Sophia.
"honestly, bro! Can"t wait to get rid of us, can you?"
Sam complained to his brother. Seeing Stefan embrace Wirata on the couch without care about the guests.
"Sophia, actually, you can stay here, sweetheart. I would like to reward you."
Stefan said to Sophia kindly. Making her smiled but Sam frowned.
"Reward? About what, bro?"
"Well, as she was the one who had opened my eyes to see the truth that you and Wirata lied to me for four years!"
Stefan still did not forget about it. They made him suffered that long when he thought they were lovers! For four f.u.c.king long years!
"From now on, I will punish you by not allow you to hug my Wine, understood?"
The possessive man took the opportunity to set the rule.
Sophia smiled broadly to Wirata who was shaking her head to her man saying that to his own brother.
Wirata smiled sweetly to Sam and made a silent gesture... JUST IGNORE HIM to Sam.
"Thanks very much. I will sleep here." Sophia hurried to accept the offer. Sam gave her his serious glare.
"Hey ... We"ve talked about it already, FiFi. Let"s go. Goodnight Wine, brother."
The tall man said goodnight to the hosts. He dragged Sophia"s suitcase along with his and walked out of the penthouse making Sophia run after him.
"Goodnight Stefan, Wine. See you tomorrow. Hey, wait! Sammie!"
She shouted and ran to him to the elevator.
