I can't believe I agreed to go on a blind date but it's better than being bugged by my parents everyday about marriage. I sighed as I picked a white knee-length dress from my wall drope "This'll do" I said aloud
"Hey honey how is your preparation for the date going?" shophia's mom asked as she walked into the room
"It's going great mom,thanks for asking," sophia said sarcastically with an eye roll
"Don't be like that honey your dad and I just wants the best for you," her Mom said patting her shoulder
"I know mom,but I'm not ready for another relationship since the last one was a mess and a huge mistake" she said.her mother took my hand and led her to the bed and they sat
"Look honey just give it a try just this once,after all your date Aiden Carter is a good guy from a good family and he's a good lawyer too just give him a try just this once alright" she said patting sophias hand. Sophia sighed in defeat
"okay mom just this once" she said giving her mother a small smile
"Alright honey dress up quickly it's almost 4 don't keep the young man waiting" her mother said and walked out of the room

"Boss your mom is threatening to stop her treatment if you don't go on the blind date she introduced to you" Marcus Aiden's PA said in a haste. Aiden dropped the document he was going through and looked up at his PA
"This old lady will definitely be the death of me" he said as he brushed his hand through his hair
"Did you get the information of the so called blind date" Aiden asked as he stood up and walked over to his office transparent glass walls which foresaw the entire city
"Yes Boss! Her name is Sophia she's the daughter and only child of Mr and Mrs London and her parents seem to be in good relationship with the old lady"
"Not so bad for someone whose trying to use family connections to get to me" He said as he turned to face his PA
"But there's a little problem sir" Marcus said in a low tone he turned to Marcus with a smirk on his face
"Which is???" he asked
"She's the Ex girlfriend of Adam Johns one of your employees"
"Great just great this old lady really knows how to choose a wife for her son" He said just then my phone rang , he took it out of his pocket and sighed
"Aiden Carter are you planning on killing me or do you plan to let me die without getting to see my grandchildren all your dad and I want is to see you with a complete family don't mess things up if not your dad and I will stop taking our medication and that means you'll have to prepare for our burial" his mother yelled in one breathe from the other line
"You know now I'm beginning to doubt that you're really sick since you have the energy to yell" Aiden said dryly
"You this brat listen to your mother" His father said from the other line
"She's got you under her control too dad you literally support all her decisions you can't even support or speak up for your own son" He said faking sadness
"You rascal don't screw this date your 32 for christ sake" Aiden's mother said and ended the call
"Sophia London this is going to be interesting" Aiden muttered with a smirk
He walked over to his desk picked up his suite jacket and put it on
"Handle other things I'm going on a blind date" he said the last part with sarcasm as he walked out of the office , all his employees froze in their spots bowing to greet him as he walked past them.
"That's right I'm fucking Aiden Carter" he muttered as he got into the elevator
*****
Sophia got to the restaurant and walked up to table 14 where her supposed blind date was meant to be
"Great I'm 10 mins late but it looks like the so called Aiden plans to be later" she muttered in annoyance as she looked at her wrist watch
"like who the he'll keeps a woman waiting on a blind date" she cursed under her breath just then a handsome guy walked up to her table he was putting on a nice and "expensive" black suit which marched with his ebony black hair
"Miss shopia?" he said sarcastically
"you must be the Aiden my Mom talks highly of well knock knock your 15mins late" sophia said as he sat across from her
"Says the lady who arrived 10mins late what difference does it make" he taunted
"You've got to be kidding me" she muttered underneath her breath
"soo Miss Sophia from the look of things it seems like we were both forced into this shit" he said as he crossed his leg leaning comfortably on his seat
"What's your point?" Sophia asked narrowing her brows
" Let's just end this drama go home to our parents and tell them we can't work out" he said as he signalled for a waiter
Sophia scoffed as she looked away
"Your order sir?" the waiter asked giving him a seductive smile Sophia rolled her eyes in disgust
"A cup of black coffee for me and a cup of creamy coffee for the lady" he said ignoring the waiters seductive smile
"okay sir" the waiter said and walked away
"You seem to be getting a lot of attention Mr Aiden" Sophia said sarcastically
"Well I'm a young,rich,handsome and out spoken guy Miss Sophia" he replied sarcastically too
"Look the only reason I'm here is just to avoid a line up of other dates, I'm not in for another relationship right now" she said as the waiter returned with our coffee
"Same here Miss Sophia so what do you suggest we do" he asked and took a sip of his coffee
"Well its not like I'm interested in you or what it's just for our own good" she said and took a sip of my coffee
"Alright so what's your point?" he with a smirk
"Let pretend to be dating" she said and took another sip of my coffee
"Woooooow bravo Miss Sophia so this is your idea" he said mockingly
" well Mr Aiden if you have any other suggestions you can go ahead and say it" she fired back
" Not bad that's if your willing to work with me" He said smirking
"Oh I'm sooo willing for six months though" she said as she raised a brow at him
"Well then it's a deal Miss Sophia" he said as he extended his hand for a shake I accepted it
"so I'm done here I'll leave now" Sophia said and got up to leave
"hold on my lady I have to send you home if not it won't be convincing enough" he said as he too stood up after placing few dollars on the table
"well sorry to burst your brains gentle man but I came here with my own car" she said as she took out her sunglasses from her hand bag and put it on then she took out her business card and placed it on the table
"well don't forget to save my number Adios" she said and walked away not failing to sway my hips which caught the attention of the guys I walked past.
