The process of walking to the washroom was completed in silence. The washroom was located right behind the wall where the TV was mounted.
The interior was no different than the open she had at home. It was nothing like the washrooms in planes, small and cramped. It was huge. It was a proper bathroom with a toilet, a sink and a bathing area. The most surprising thing in the washroom was huge bathtub but the rainfall shower. It was those showers where the water came right from on top of the person. 'Is this how the rich live?' Sofia wondered in wonder. This was all super new to her as even Johnathan did not have this shower in his room.
Quickly getting freshened up, Sofia got out of the room. The longer she stayed inside the more she wanted to try it out and that was not something she wanted to do when her boss was waiting outside to eat dinner.
Sofia walked to the dinning table and saw Vincent had moved to the other side of the table and his back was now towards her. Before she had left the room he was still facing the TV lounge while he worked and now his old spot had his documents and only his documents.
The table was set for two and her seat was on his right side. Sitting down on her chair, Sofia gave a quick "Hello" to Vincent not knowing what else to say.
They began to eat the food on the table in silence. The food was nothing less than what they ate normally. There was a medium sized steak cooked medium well done with mashed potatoes and, boiled and sautèd vegetables on the side. Vincent had a cup of wine with his dinner while Sofia just had grape juice.
Half way through dinner, Vincent began a conversation with Sofia while still eating his food elegantly.
"So what are your plans for Sunday?"
Looking up startled Sofia quickly answered with food still in her mouth. "I will spend it with Ben."
"So do you plan on getting off work on Saturday night or Sunday morning?" Vincent asked with a straight face and a monotone.
"I don't know. Jasmine was telling me to meet him the night before his birthday so I could be the first one to congratulate him and give him his present, but I'm still unsure." looking at Vincent Sofia continued in confusion, "What do you think I should do? Should I go on Saturday night or on Sunday itself?"
Looking at Sofia in silence for a minute Vincent let out a deep sigh and answered, "If I was Ben I would have liked for my fiance to be the first person to wish me Happy birthday."
Sofia was surprised by Vincent straight answer. She had just asked him out of courtesy and was not expecting an advice, a good one at that.
Giving a bright smile to Vincent, Sofia expressed her gratitude, "Thank you. You made my decision so much easier. Having a guys opinion on was is good. Now I know Ben will be happy if I surprise him tomorrow night."
In amusement, Vincent asked, "So what is your plan for his surprise?"
Poor Vincent. Sofia asked him for advice on when to meet with a man that was not him.
Here is a chapter. You might view it as alittle late or alittle early.
In amusement, Vincent asked, "So what is your plan for his surprise?"
Looking up from her plate, Sofia stared wide eyed. This was the first time Vincent was asking about her private plans. Before this they would only talk regarding her work that was Johnathan, his son.
"Ummm. I will surprise Ben on Saturday night, sing the happy birthday song and give him his gift." Sofia replied vaguely.
Not letting her be, Vincent added, "And? Is that all? don't you have any plans for dinner or anything?"
"It will be too late for dinner at 12 am so we will probably stay in to watch a movie and do something inside." Sofia answered Vincent's probing questions vaguely while turning a bright shade of red towards the end.
Having had enough fun teasing Sofia for the time being, Vincent finally got back to eating the food in front him in silence.
Dinner was completed and all that was left to do was to get the table cleaned up and then go back to doing their own things. Just as Sofia picked up her plate from the table and reaching for Vincent's, Vincent held her wrist preventing Sofia from moving.
"Leave them be. The workers will clean up, you don't have to do this." Having said what he wanted, Vincent let go of her hand and got up. He walked to the other side of the table, where his documents were layed out, and sat down.
Picking up a bunch of papers from the table, Vincent began cleaning up his work. Noticing Sofia still standing at the exact spot as he had held her hand, Vincent had a smile on his face.
Putting the last of his documents inside his work bag, Vincent walked to Sofia. Standing right in front of her, he gave her a once over and said, "We will reach Paris in another 8 hours, so go get some shut eye before we reach."
"Where should I go to sleep?" Sofia asked while looking at Vincent.
"I take you there." Vincent began walking towords the area Sofia was taken to freshened up for dinner. This time they went even further into the plane. Sofia noticed doors after every 10 steps Vincent moved forward.
Having passed 2 doors, Vincent stopped at the 3rd one and opened it for Sofia while saying, "Johnathan is sleeping in this room. Stay with him for now. Goodnight."
The minute Sofia reached the open door, Vincent turned around and disappeared into the last door in the hallway.
Sofia entered the room and the first thing she saw was Johnathan sleeping in the queen bed. Walking to the bed, she entered into it and was out like a light. She could not wait till they reached Paris in 8 hours.
