Chapter 22 - Fate

At twenty-six, Sonia was five feet six inches tall, and had the body of a senior highschool baseball team cheerleader. Her honey colored skin was flawlessly smooth, and her long curly blonde hair framed her beautiful heart shaped face. Her eyes which were large on her small face were a beautiful green, and gave her an innocent look which belied her mischievous nature.

Sonia had a small smile on her face as she admired her reflection on the mirror after her phone call with Lucy, "Not bad for a celebrity's fiancee, huh?" She murmured as she checked out herself. She had actually been feeling quite low on morale lately until the incident with Bryan last night, and now she felt vitalized.

Soon the sound of Ed Sheeran's "Shape of you" could be heard drifting through her open window as she set about cleaning her room while dancing and singing on the top of her lungs.

She paused when her eyes fell on the engagement ring which was on the table, and she picked it up and looked it over before sliding it down her finger, "Perfect size, huh? Coincidence or Fate?" She asked herself with a crooked smile, and raised a hand to her lips when she remembered that they had actually kissed... The kiss had even been good enough to elicit a moan from her... But she would be damned if she was going to tell him how electrifying and sactisfying the kiss had been. She wasn't going to be the one to feed his oversized ego.

"I'd settle for fate. I'm going to get him to fall in love with me, and then we are going to get married and have two kids. A boy who looks just like him, and a mini version of me." Sonia told herself with a dreamy smile.

As a writer, she had wanted to make their meeting more memorable by leaving without a trace. She knew better than most, that you often remembered peopIe who leave without saying goodbye, more than those who do. And that was what she wanted. For him to think about her, wonder about her and then worry about her.

She searched around the room for her other phone which she had turned off because of all the calls she had kept receiving regarding the engagement. When she picked it up and turned it on she saw different text message notifications, but only opened the one from her Editor.

"Been trying to reach you, but I guess you're busy with your fiance. The movie producer is even more interested in your story now that he has seen you're in a relationship with Mr Hanks. Let's talk about it over lunch or whenever you're ready." Sonia rolled her eyes as she read it out.

"How typical." She muttered before scrolling to the sound recorder icon and tapping on the recording she had made of their conversation the previous night. She lay down on the floor of her apartment as she listened to their voices through her phone while the music kept playing in the background. After a while she sat up and jotted down her thoughts before dialing the line of her editor.

"I suppose you just turned on your phone and saw my text. So when are we..."

"Throw out the first chapter of the new story. I want to start working on something different." Sonia said, cutting him off before he could finish.

"What? Why? But the story is good. I only asked you to do some additional work on the second and third chapters." He complained.

"Of course I know it's good. But I want to work on an entirely different story line. My new story is going to be about a stubborn and determined young lady who wins the heart of a playboy celebrity after fate throws them together." Sonia said thoughtfully. She wasn't going to write it in a way that would tell her editor or the world the true story between her and Bryan of course. She was just going to change the manner in which they meet, but leave other things the same.

"Is it going to be about you and Mr Hanks?" He asked in excitement.

"Not exactly. I will work on the first three chapters and send it to you via email. Read it and tell me what you think."

"Okay... But we are still meeting, right? Remember you're supposed to meet with the movie producer." He reminded her making her roll her eyes.

"Just conclude with him. I'll be okay with whatever you both agree on. I need to focus on my writing so I'm turning off my phone." Sonia said, and hung up before he could say anything else.

She was just going to get right to work and distract herself for the time being.. She would give her darling fiance a week to miss her before reaching out to him again, Sonia decided with a smile.
