Chapter 18
Adam Wilson
“Hello Adam, how’s it going?” Mason said through the phone.
“Everything’s fantastic doc, I’m just arriving home from work.” I said while getting out of my car.
Mason is the doctor who attended to me while I was at Franklin Hospital. We’re about the same age and we became friends during my stay. It all started the day he noticed I had a thing for Sophia when he caught me staring at her and I told him she was out of bounds. I confided in him about Sophia. I told him everything I was going through with her, it was like he was my therapist. Except he didn’t give me any solutions, he just laughed at me and taunted me every now and then because of my feelings. Telling him felt great, although he was a dick about it. I just needed to get things off my chest.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“Adam are you nuts? Don’t tell me you went to work immediately you got discharged from the hospital!” He scolded me.
“I did and I’m fine, nothing happened to me. Actually… something happened to me and that’s why I’m calling you.”
“What have you done now my friend?” He said knowing that it involved Sophia.
“Well Sophia kind of… injured me.” I said. I was in my apartment building, about to use the lift.
“And why on earth would she do that?” He said in disbelief.
“I have to tell you what happened from the start in order for you to believe me.” I got into the elevator and closed the door for some privacy.
“This obsession with Sophia is not healthy.” He took a deep breath. He’d gotten tired of me constantly talking about her.
“So I was in my office working.” I completely ignored his last statement. “I called Sophia in to give me a report of what she did for the day. Next thing you know, she kissed me.”
“She kissed you?” He said mockingly.
“Yes she did!”
“I thought you were the one always stealing kisses from her. You mean this time she gave you one by herself?”
“Mason, I am the happiest man in the world right now. Do you know what this means? Sophia is finally ready to open up to whatever exists between us!” I almost screamed.
“You sound like a crazy person.”
“Oh I am crazy, crazy for Sophia. She has stolen my sanity.” The elevator doors opened to my floor and I walked to my door. “I can’t wait for tomorrow.”
“What’s happening tomorrow?”
“We’re going to finish what we started. We didn’t get a chance to because… Sophia accidentally jabbed my wound while we were making out.” I entered my apartment and sat on my couch.
“So thats what happened. You need to stay away from her for a while, she’s dangerous to you. Emotionally and Physically.” He laughed.
“Fuck, Mason she drives me nuts! I’m going to have a hard time sleeping tonight.” I rubbed my eyes in frustration. “I can’t stay away from Sophia, I want her every second of the day, and all night!”
“Like I said, your obsession is not healthy. Your addicted to her! You need to get your mind off her once in a while. How about we go bowling on Saturday?”
“That sounds like the perfect distraction.”
“Then I can examine your chest.”
“Good idea. So I’ll see you Saturday.”
“Yeah, till then.”
“Take care man.” I said and ended the call.
I closed my eyes and began to replay what happened today between Sophia and I. I can’t wait to make love to her tomorrow, I’ll have to bring her home so she can spend the night. The thought of having her here with me all night makes my heart beat wildly. The things I will do to her will blow her mind. She’ll make up for all the lost time that we could have been together instead of her giving me the run around and making things difficult.
Damn that woman! I have been with a number of women but only she makes me feel things I have never felt before.
“So this Sophia…” A voice from behind startled me. I jumped up quickly to see who it was.
Charlene??
“… it seems like you’re head over heels for her.” She said.
“What the fuck are you doing in my apartment?! And how did you get in here?!” I shouted in frustration.
Why won’t this woman just let me be!
“Relax, I didn’t break in or anything. Remember you gave me an extra key, back when we were together.” She said smiling and walking towards me.
“Get the fuck out now.” I tried to say calmly.
“Come on Adam, I only came to see you because I heard you were involved in an accident and you got discharged. I just needed to know that my baby is okay.” She purred.
“I am not your baby, leave before I do something we both regret!”
“I always knew you had a thing for that Sophia girl, even when we were still together. Tell me, was she the reason you broke up with me?” She asked.
“Yes! She was.” I said truthfully. Charlene’s face flared up.
“So you left me, and downgraded to a little whore like Sophia! She’s not even as pretty as I am! She’s a slut! She only wants your money! And to make a name for herself!” She screamed at me. “You will never be happy with Sophia like you were happy with me!”
“But I was never happy with you Charlene!” I told her.
She fell to the floor and began to cry.
I stood there not knowing what to do. Charlene may be a freak, a pest, and very annoying but I couldn’t stand watching her tear up. I don’t enjoy seeing women cry.

“Charlene, I’m sorry.” I walked up to her and picked her up. I held her in my arms and hugged her while she cried on my chest.
We stayed like that for a while until she spoke up.
“Adam, you’re hurt.” She said referring to the blood stain on my shirt.
“No, it’s okay. Don’t worry about it.” I assured her.
“What happened to you?” She pulled away to look at me.
I sighed. “It’s a long story, don’t bother yourself about it. Can I have my spare keys please?”
She reached into her pocket and handed it to me.
“Thank you. Charlene, I’m sorry I broke up with you all of a sudden. I was wrong to hurt your feelings like that. But I’ve moved on and I think you should too. I am happy with who I’m with right now and you deserve someone who you can be happy with too.”
“But I was happy with you.” She sniffed.
“I’m sorry Charlene but the happiness needs to be from both sides. Ours was one sided, it just wasn’t right. I hope you understand.”
“I do.”
“Good. We could still be friends as long as you don’t interfere with my relationship with Sophia.” I made it clear to her.
“It’s alright Adam. I won’t. I should head home now, it’s getting late.” She said feeling dejected.
“Do you want me to walk you out?” I offered.
“No, it’s okay.” She kissed me on my cheek which took me by surprise. “Goodbye Adam.” She picked up her bag and left.
Finally! Charlene is out of my life for good. I need to focus on more important things and make sure I am sorted out for tomorrow.
I also have left over work from the office that I had to complete before going to bed. Hopefully I can get them all done this night without any distractions.

Sophia Parker
“Work today was so exhausting! Mr Wilson made me go to five different places today.” Phoebe whined.
“What for?” said Lily.
Lily was a friend of Phoebe and I. She worked as a paralegal for a very huge law firm and she lived just upstairs in my apartment building. The three of us were currently having a sleepover at my house but I was completely distracted. I couldn’t stop thinking about today at the office. I never knew I had the courage to do what I did with Mr Wilson today. I blushed as I remembered how he lifted me up effortlessly unto his desk. He is such a strong and virile man. I wonder what else he could do to me with his arms.
“Marketing purposes. My legs hurt from driving round the city.”
“Sorry love. Next time take the subway.”
I’m not sure what he meant by ‘finish what I started’. Did he mean make love?
“Sophia, how do you feel about Mr Wilsons appearance at the office today? I definitely wasn’t expecting it.”
From what I felt today, I’m sure making love to him would be breathtaking! I hope he wouldn’t stop once he finds out I’m a virgin.
“Sophia?”
Would we do it right there on his office desk or would he take me home? I hope he takes me home, that way we can do it all night and the next morning.
“Sophia!!!”
“Huh?” I heard Phoebe and Lily scream at the same time.
“You’ve been so distracted today, and why are you smiling to yourself? Look, you’re as red as a tomato!” Lily said.
“Something must have happened to you and I know it involves a guy.” Phoebe gasped, “Is it Mr Wilson?”
“No! No! Of course not! He’s my boss! There’s no way, absolutely not, terrible, you know. That’s just, not Mr Wilson, no.”
“Pathological liar.”
“Phoebe, there is nothing going on between us.” I lied. There’s no way I’m telling her, not yet anyway.
“Then why are you blushing?” Lily pressed on.
“Because, I was just simply thinking about him. Im glad he’s back and he’s okay.”
“Were you having dirty thoughts?” Phoebe asked. She is the most blunt person I know. There was no point lying because she knew me all too well.
“Yes Phoebe.” I sighed. “I was having dirty thoughts.”
“Awww, Sophia has had this massive crush on her boss for almost two years now.” She informed Lily. “I think he likes her too but they can’t be together because they work for each other and all…”
