Chapter 296 Not a Substitute

Sophia stepped out of the bathroom and spotted Alexander lounging on the bed, puffing away on a cigarette. His face was unusually serious, and his eyes were hard to read.

She marched over, snatched the phone from his hand, and snapped, "Who said you could use my phone?"

Alexander put out the cigarette and pulled her into his arms. The mix of tobacco and her fresh bath scent filled the air.

"Got a date lined up?" he asked.

Sophia shrugged. "This show's wrapping up next week. I'll break up with you and start going on blind dates my family sets up."

Alexander's eyes darkened at her words. He tightened his hold on her. "Sophia, you got me into bed, and now you're planning to date someone else? How did I not see you were so fickle?" Sophia shot him a glare. "I told you from the start, it was all an act. Don't take it too seriously."

"But I'm already in too deep. What now? Sophia, can you skip the date?"

For once, the usually carefree Alexander spoke to her so softly, it threw her off. She blinked. "If I don't go, should we be together?"

"Am I not good enough? I'm handsome, successful, great in bed, and versatile. If you pass on a guy like me for someone else, are you nuts?" He flicked her forehead.

Alexander had never been this serious before. They were always at odds; he thought she wasn't gentle enough, and she thought he was too wild. But now that she was really going to leave, he felt a pang of reluctance.

Maybe their physical relationship had stirred up some real feelings.
