I ended the call and headed to Underwest. I planned on chilling with Sophie until Trooper got home, then hopefully going home to climb into bed with Carlos. He’d left before I was up to handle business, so I was hoping it would be an early night for him.
Chapter 63
Sophie
“Maddie, will you just tell me what all this is about?”
I frowned at her while she stood in front of me holding up a dress I absolutely loved, but wasn’t thrilled about putting on. We had been out all day shopping, doing mani pedis and a quick trip to get my hair washed since I no longer had motivation to do it myself. It was now almost seven and all I wanted to do was go home and climb into bed.
“It’s a surprise, but Trooper has something really special planned for you. Now shower and put this on. I promised him I would have you home by eight. He has everything set up.”
“Maddie, I’m exhausted, and all I want right now is a bowl of ice cream and my pillow. Wait, scratch the ice cream. I just want my pillow,” I pouted.
I loved Trooper and that he wanted to surprise me, but today was not the day. This baby was making even the simplest things seem like a movement, and after the day we just had, I didn’t even want to think.
“Sophie, you have to. I promised him and he put so much into tonight. It’s really important to him. Please, just shower and put this on,” Maddie pleaded and I instantly felt bad.
Trooper wasn’t necessarily the romantic type, so if he had something planned that required me to dress up, the least I could do was struggle through it.
“Fine, but for the record. I hate you for guilting me into this and whatever he has planned better require a lot of sitting.”
Maddie laughed and laid the dress on the bed. She then walked into her closet and came out with my leather duffel bag, which let me know she had planned this.
“You love me. Here. Everything you need is in here.”
Yanking the bag from her, I stomped to the bathroom and prepared for my shower. An hour later, I was dressed and putting the finishing touches on my look. I slipped a pair of simple diamond studs into my ears and slid my feet into the ivory heels that matched my silk slip dress. After a few sprays of perfume, I was done.
“Oh Sophie, it’s perfect. You look perfect,” Maddie beamed as she gawked over me.
“Well, you know. I am the shit,” I teased and she laughed.
“You most definitely are. Now, let’s go or we’re going to be late.”
After we were in her car, I got comfy and tried to relax a bit. I was still extremely tired, but looking forward to whatever my surprise was.
Halfway there, my phone lit up and I smiled when I noticed a text from Trooper. I blushed as I read it.
My Baby: I bet you look amazing. I can’t wait to see for myself.
Me: I’m okay.
My Baby: Nah, you’re more than okay. Question though??
Me: Yes?
My Baby: You love me?
Me: Of course I do, you already know that.
My Baby: Aight bet. Be ready to prove it when you get here.
Me: What’s that supposed to mean?
I sent the text and looked over at Maddie while I waited.
“What?”
“Will you please tell me what he has planned?”
