Chapter 8

“. Lily wasn’t able to come here because that daughter of mine is really into something else.” Aunt Meredith said apologetically.

“ it’s okay aunt, she maybe doesn’t want to see me “ Andrew chuckled.

“. No, she’s not that bad.” Aunt Meredith said.

And Sophie noticed her aunt sighed.

“ And because Lily is not here, so I guess my niece will do the guiding of you. She knew good places.” Aunt Meredith said and Sophie’s mom giggled. Sophie is about to open her mouth to say something when Andrew smiled and nodded happily to the two elders.

“ Sure no problem . that would be fun.” Andrew said and grin towards her. Sophie twitched her lips and rolled her eyes.

“ Be nice to him dear daughter. You don’t want him to have a bad conclusion about you ,do you?” Her mom asked . and she looked at her mother and tried to communicate with her with her stares.

“ mom.” Sophie uttered.

“ Come on Meredith, let’s leave this two for while.” Her mom said and grabbed Meredith with her. She sure knew that her mom want her to date again,

Sophie is already twenty -six but that doesn’t mean she have to rush things especially now that she was already have enough of Loving and dating .

“ Mom. Aunt.” Sophie called but the two elders vanished into the big door.

Now it’s only her and him. Awkwardness is in the air, she looks away while Andrew observed her physical beauty. She looks more beautiful without make up on.

“ what are you looking at?” She snarled when she caught him stealing a gaze at her. Andrew chuckled.

“ It’s a small world after all, I didn’t know you were Lily’s cousin. Why I haven’t see you before ?” Andrew asked ,

“ it’s none of your business.” Sophie said in a dull voice.

“ I wonder why you always acted like that , are you really that angry of someone that you can’t treat other people well.” Andrew frowned.

“ You---”

“ well, according to the best philosopher ,anger is the best weapon of all girls who want to hide their emotions.” Andrew added. And Sophie raised an eyebrow.

“ I have nothing to explain to you bye.” Sophie said and she stood up and is about to walked away when Andrew followed her.

“. You just can’t leave me here, you are Lily’s substitute just like what aunt said; do you want your aunt to be disappointed in you?” Now Andrew is trying to make her feel guilty. And he is walking closer to her

“ so where are you planning to go, your Highness?” Sophie asked and clicked her tongue. She glared at him and went out first. And Andrew followed her. Is it indeed a small world for the both of them.

“ I want to go to visit Negros caves.” Andrew said.

Sophie’s gaze turned to him. He is serious.

“ Are you sure?” Sophie asked . all of the whole place, she is not one bit find of caves. But because she was Lily’s substitute ,she had to full fill her duty

“ Okay.” Sophie said.

And without wasting anymore minutes ,the two travelled that very day to visit two Negros caves. And Andrew is enjoying his sight seeing. And when night comes. Sophie and Andrew went back home like they are good Acquaintance. And Andrew stayed in her aunt Meredith’s house, but when Lily wailed about it, her mom decided to transfer Andrew in Sophie’s house to avoid more embarrassing moments. Good thing, he is too considerate.
