Chapter 100

*****Vincents POV*****

I pace back and forth in the office, my parents now finally retired to their separate rooms for the night and giving me peace to think.

My father was determined to finish his dinner, unbothered by the events that had taken place, and so I left him to it, taking the moment to attempt to contact Sofia - never receiving an answer.

"Well now my girl is pissed off with me too!" Reid complains, having dropped Emma home since she had demanded space from him tonight too.

She quickly figured out that Reid also knew about the idea of marriage and contacting Sofia's father behind her back and she didn't approve of it in the slightest...

All I had to go off of right now was that Emma had spoke to Sofia and that she was safe. She wanted time alone to process and although I had sent her text after text, I knew that she wouldn't be answering me any time soon. I had fucked up majorly...

Reid slumps down into one of the leather chairs, running a hand through his hair in frustration. "Emma's barely said two words to me since I got back too. I'm lucky she even let me drive her home. Not that she spoke much in the car either, she's annoyed at all of us for keeping Sofia in the dark with this." He informs me, not making me feel any better on the matter.

I grunt in response, pacing faster as my mind races. I can't stop thinking about Sofia - her face, the hurt in her eyes when everything came out. It's all replaying in my head, over and over again like a bad movie.

I knew from the start that this whole plan was risky, but I never imagined that it would blow up like this.

"What the fuck was Daryl's problem too? He was such a rat to you tonight! Even your Dad called him out on it and that's saying something!" Reid states the facts, as I instantly agree.

He was right. Daryl was way out of line and certainly didn't act like a true friend of mine tonight. I was somewhat impressed that my father seemed to be on my side with it all - scolding both my mother and him for how they had acted. "He's upset one, because of the possible marriage thing and two, because I told him that Sofia admitted to liking me yesterday... she chose me over him and he can't handle it... crying over not being picked for the first time in his fucking life!" I state, as Reid sniggers at my words.

But it was true.

Daryl had been annoyed all because Sofia didn't want him, although I didn't think she even wanted me anymore now either...

"He crossed a line. I couldn't actually believe that he joined in on outing you like that. All over a girl too!" Reid rolls his eyes.
