Shadows In Durango

Chapter 57

*****Sofia's POV*****

My head was spinning with Vincent's sudden proposal for a date. After everything that had happened, this was the last thing I expected. "You actually want to take me out on a real date?" I repeated, almost in disbelief.

"Yes, a real date. No drama, no fights. Just you and me, getting to know each other better since you do live here now after all and it seems that you affect me in more ways than I would sometimes like to admit..." Vincent trails off, his tone sincere and flirtatious.

I took a moment to process his words. Despite the whirlwind of emotions I had experienced with him, I found myself nodding my head at the idea.

"Alright, Vincent sure. A date it is." I respond gently, intrigued by the idea of going out with him formally.

Despite how hot and cold he often was with me, something about this excited me. He was dangerous, mysterious and deep down had proven himself to be a softy...

As soon as I agreed, Vincent's eyes lit up with a mix of relief and excitement. "Great. Be ready for five and wear something nice." He gave me a charming smile before heading back inside, leaving me to process what had just happened in the back yard alone.

I watch his large back stride off, realising that he had won me over once again. He wanted a date and he got one, despite how he had acted last night, I still fell weak at the knees and agreed to go out with him tonight!

Damn it! Maybe I was actually a desperate whore... first trying to sleep with Daryl and now agreeing to a date with Vincent... who was I becoming?!

Shaking my head in disbelief, I pull out my phone and quickly hammer down on the keys to text Emma, asking her to meet me upstairs in my room.
