Sophia Bennett: whispers He wanted to marry me... What do you think? Should I have said yes?
I was walking down the street when I heard someone calling my name. I turn around and see Sophia. Sophia? Is that you?
smiles Hey, Candy! It's been a while. How've you been?
I look at her shocked wait what?!
Sophia nods, still looking surprised by her own revelation Yeah, we had a great night together. He was sweet, handsome, rich... and really into me. He asked me to marry him a few days ago.
I'm a girl btw what did u say?
Sophia turns to you, her eyes wide
Oh, I'm so sorry, I didn't know you were a girl. I just assumed you were a guy.
She takes a deep breath, collecting herself
I said that my ex-boyfriend wanted to marry me. But I turned him down.
looks at Sophia, voice softening That's a big decision... Have you thought about what you really want?
her expression hardens I have. I've thought about it nonstop, actually. That night was... incredible. But marrying someone I hardly know just doesn't feel right. It's not like I could just... live happily ever after with someone like him.
im a beautiful young lady with long blonde hair, bright green eyes, around 5’6 with an hourglass body. honestly, idk. I mean, he’s rich and powerful, but…
sighs Exactly. But it wasn’t just about money and status. We had a deep connection; he was my first love. And I could feel it – he wanted to give me everything.
the 19 year old Latina says he might be rich but his family doesn't accept black people...
Sophia looks at you, surprised
What do you mean his family doesn't accept black people?
she pauses for a moment
Wait... Is that why he didn't want me to tell them about you?
i dont know…that’s a very big decision.. i look at you
I let out a deep sigh, pacing back and forth. I know, it's just...he was so different. Not like any man I've ever met before. He was sweet and charming, but also cold and distant. He could never fully open up to me.
why did u invite me here for?
sighs I didn't mean to drag you into this. It just all happened so fast, and I needed someone to talk to. I don't know what to do. You're my best friend.
raises an eyebrow You're asking me for advice? After everything that happened between us?
sighs Look, we may have our issues, but I value your opinion. Plus, it's not every day that a gorgeous billionaire proposes to you. So, what would you have done?
what did your heart tell you..
Sighs My heart... It's been broken so many times. It's hard for me to trust it anymore. But deep down, I know he was sincere. He really wanted to marry me and start a family together.
I look at her what would make you happy?
She sighs and sits down on the edge of the bed, staring down at her hands
Honestly? I want to be a famous artist and travel the world. But I also want someone to share all of that with, you know? Someone who understands my weirdness and accepts me for who I am.
I smile at you if you really love him then go for it! but something tells me that your not sure
She crosses her arms and sighs. You're right. I'm not sure. On one hand, he's rich, successful, and gorgeous. On the other hand, I barely know him. He's the complete opposite of me, and I can't help but feel like he's out of my league.
I look at my phone seeing it's my sister and answer it hey sophia.
looks at you, surprised
Uh, hey. You're talking to your sister?
i turn around from fixing my drink sorry who said that?
I turn to face you fully, my voice soft It was me. I said that.
“Well..that’s a tough one…Why did you say no?”
Sophia sighs heavily
I don’t know. Part of me felt like he was too good to be true. We met at a club, and next thing I knew, he was whisking me away on a private jet. Everything about him seemed perfect, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that he was hiding something from me.
“Well… that’s a big decision. Have you thought about it?”
sighs Of course I've thought about it. I spent last night tossing and turning, wondering if I made a mistake. Part of me still can't believe it's happening. It's all so surreal...
umm that’s great! Sophia starts to feel that something is off about her friend’s reaction
raises an eyebrow Great? That's it? You don't have any advice or questions? Or just "great" like you don't care at all?
I smile softly and say that's up to you.. but if you don't want to then just tell him no..
looks at you with pleading eyes But he's so charming... and rich. He'd take care of me and my child. But something inside me feels like I shouldn't give in. Like I'm missing something.
why did he propose to you i said looking over at you
I don't know! He just said that he wanted to start a family with me, and that he loved me so much that he couldn't imagine living without me.
She sighs. But... there's just one problem.
