Dirty Affairs novel Chapter 47

Sophia's gazes around the room were intense. Even though she got the opportunity to see other beautiful rooms with the help of Cynthia, none of those rooms were as beautiful as the one Ace brought her too. Words were too far from her as she looked around and walked towards the picture frame that was hung on the wall to admire its beauty.

She got to the frame and caressed it. It was obvious she loved it, Ace on the other hand who went to get the dress saw how Sophia reacted upon seeing the frame. He was pleased and glad she loved it. 

He cleared his throat and took a few steps towards Sofia and stood at her back. Sophia had no clue that Ace was already standing at her back. The sound of his voice frightened her a bit.

 "You love it?" He asked and she nodded.

"it's beautiful."  She replied and he smiled. He swiftly placed his hands on her shoulder as he led her to the bed to make her sit. She sat down as he handed a fancy bag to her. Sophia was curious to know what was inside the bag so she curiously opened it and slowly brought out what was inside. It was a dress.

"Wow! It's beautiful." Sophia said Inwardly to herself the moment her eyes saw how beautiful the dresses were. The clothes were of the same design and color. A female and a male dress. It was so beautiful. Especially the small crystal diamond that was decorated on the dress, making the dress sparkle at the reflection of the lights inside the room which made the dress look more beautiful. 

Ace noticed that Sophia wasn't saying anything. He watched her as she held the dress and continued to stare at it seriously. 

A few minutes later, he thought of breaking the silence.

"Do you like it?"  With a face without a hint of a smile, Sophia gazed at Ace for sometime without a word before she finally replied.

"It's awful." She said,

Ace was pained to hear that Sophia  described such a beautiful dress as "awful."  The few people that got the opportunity to see the dress loved it so he didn't stop to wonder why the dress looked ugly in Sophia's eyes. Such an expensive dress. 

Ace, realizing that, he decided to tease her. Since the dress was a customized dress for the both of them, he needed them to wear it. He didn't let her rejection for the dress bother him.

"Okay, it's awful but you don't have a choice do you? We will be putting it on tonight and there is nothing you can do about it. There is also nothing I can do about it as well. It's late and almost time for the party. I can't order another dress now." He said as he shifted Sophia's hair away from her face before he continued talking.

"Maybe before I get a dress for you, you will be in a better position to tell me the kind of dress you want but as for tonight I'm sorry… we are going to wear it." He said and brought his mouth very close to her ears and spoke again with a husky and thick voice.

"Girlfriend…" he called.

Sophia was trying so hard to endure as she swallowed her saliva.

"You can start preparing yourself while I go prepare in the other room." Said Ace as he took out his dress from the bag and started walking towards the door. 

"Don't miss me much. I'll be back soon." He said and gave her a wink before opening the door and walked out. So annoying! She thought.

Seeing him leave the room was a big relief for Sophia.

Sophia let out a heavy sigh of relief as she spoke.

"Thank goodness! Finally!" She said, walking towards the mirror. She got to the mirror and stood for some minutes, imagining and admiring how gorgeous she would look in her pretty dress as she walked towards the door and made sure the door was properly locked.

After a while, she took a few steps to the bed and took the dress before she walked back to the mirror and stood in front of it again.

While she gazed at her image reflection, she placed the dress on her body as she smiled.

"This is the most beautiful dress I have ever gotten." She said, touching those crystal diamonds. She thought of calling Cynthia and telling her about the dress but she realized that wasn't the right time to do so. Ace was already preparing. She also needed to prepare. She needs that time to get herself ready.

She quickly dropped the dress on the bed and just as she was about walking into the bathroom, she heard the sound of the door handle. It was as if someone was trying to open the door but it was unfortunate that Sophia had locked the door.

She wondered who it was. She knew it wasn't Ace because he had gone to the other room to prepare and she also knew it wasn't Cynthia because she didn't tell Cynthia where she was yet. So, who could be at the door? She wondered.

Sophia thought of going to open the door or probably go close to the door to see or ask who it was but she didn't get so much confidence to do so.

Shortly, she heard a knock again and again. Few seconds later, she heard a voice.

"Open the door, girlfriend…" The voice sounded familiar.

That was Ace's voice. Immediately, Sophia quickly walked towards the door and turned it open.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door ah? Did you suddenly sleep off or something? Oh! I forgot you are a big baby. What should I have expected?" He said.

Sophia didn't say a word as she couldn't stop laughing inwardly at herself for being scared after she heard the knock. 

Who was she thinking was knocking at the door?
