Chapter 66: Chapter 66

Sophia's POV

.

“Let me know by when Brandon will be free; then I will let you know about the time we will be there, okay?”

“Yeah! That will be fine with me.”

Disconnecting the call, I dialed Brandon’s number. This was the first time I was calling him during office hours. I hope he wouldn’t be busy. What if he would scold me for disturbing him? And what if he would say me mean who was calling him for my work and had ignored him in the morning, huh?

“Sophiaaaa,” he yelled from the other side of the phone. “When you don’t have to say a word, then why do you even call me?”

Shit!

Since how long had he been on call?

And how didn’t I realize that he received the call? Well, that might be because I was too busy with my thought.

“Sop…”

“I’m sorry.”, I apologized before he shouted again.

“You’re sorry for?” he asked, and in no time, his tone changed from angry and pissed one to normal. “For ignoring me in the morning or not saying anything for at least three minutes on the call and scaring the shit out of me!”

“You got scared? For me?”

“No. For Caroline. That’s why I’m already on the way home.”

“This early? It’s two PM only?”

“So? I’m the boss.”, he responded in an irritated tone. If I would talk about meeting John and his girlfriend tonight at this moment, then he would surely cancel the plan because, except for Oliver, Brandon was not a great fan of my other brothers. So, it would be better to talk to him when he would be in a good mood. “Again, you disappeared.”, Saying this, he disconnected the call. I would have called him back but then stopped myself from doing so when he was on the way home already.

‘Has he eaten something or not?’ I wondered. I called him again to know this, but he kept disconnecting the call. I sighed and went into the kitchen to see whether there was enough food for him or not, and to my disappointment, there wasn’t enough food for an adult man. And by chance, if that adult man would be super duper hungry, then he might need a lot of food than this.

At first, I thought of cooking something, but then I ordered the food from the same cafe where we had visited during my pregnancy. I remembered Brandon loving it.

As I had expected, Brandon reached home earlier than the food. He looked pissed, but he didn’t say anything and went directly into the room to freshen up.

After fifteen minutes, even food was delivered, and I started serving into plates quickly because my hotheaded husband would walk out of the washroom anytime. I was done with serving the food and was about to turn around to take the plate into the room. I felt his presence behind me and his hot breath near my neck.

I tried to leave but got trapped between the kitchen counter and him.

“What do you want?”

“Huh?”

“I’m sure you would have called me during office hours because for a reason.”

“First, promise me that you won’t get mad and won’t say NO.”, I said, not sure he would agree. The next moment, he spun me around, making me look at him, and his hands went back to the previous position of trapping me.

“That’s why you are trying to bribe me with food, hmm?”

“Maybe.”, I muttered, biting my lips, not sure it would work or not.

“Stop doing that.”, he warned. “It’s distracting and making me look at your lips again and again.”

“Oh, okay!”

“Actually _____,” I told everything to him when I sensed that he was in a normal mood, at least he was then. He picked the plate behind me and walked toward the dining table without saying anything about it. “Soooo?”

“You know that I don’t like staying near your family members.”, he pointed out and started having his food. I gave him an innocent look, expecting him to say YES, by sitting, “Fine! But not for half an hour, and let me know the name of the place where he is asking to meet.”

“Thank you. Thank you so much.” I jumped on my feet and kissed his cheeks happily.

“A kiss on the cheek? It will look good between dad and you, not between us.”, He muttered, frowning, and resumed eating his food.

Did he just invite me to kiss somewhere else?

Well, I wouldn’t know until I would try on my own because his action and words never match with each other. I kept my hand on his left arm, on which he stopped eating and looked at me, arching his eyebrow. I boldly sat on his lap, and not once did my eyes leave his face. I saw him observing my every movement, then I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him toward me. Not a once did my eyes leave his face to see any kind of reluctance, but I didn’t find any. I closed the gap between us by kissing his lips. At first, he didn’t respond, but when I was about to pull my lips away from his, he was quick to grab them. His hands were on my neck, which was not letting me move back. He deepened the kiss with each passing second. He was kissing me like his life was dependent on it.

“Ahem, Ahem.” I heard dad’s fake cough. I tried to push Brandon, but he didn’t buy.

God! Help me.

Dad would tease me later!!

Shit!!
