Don't Quit - A Sophitz Story

34

Biana POV:

It had only been 2 days without Soph and Fitz but I was already missing them. Grady and Dad were on assignments from the council to help find Keefe and Mum was constantly over at Havenfield with Edaline. She woke up and went there. Then came back for some lunch and left again. But I guess it was the right thing to do. Edaline was falling apart. She'd sort of retreated back into her old shell. The one she wore after Jolie had died. She didn't want to leave the house and spent most days in Sophie's bedroom.
The whole thing was a mess and it was taking a toll on everyone. Most days I'll be home alone. I had Marella and Linh over lots. Tam too. Dex was always off on Black Swan assignments making gadgets and techy stuff. 

Yesterday I had Linh and Marella over for medi-pedis and movies. Then Tam came by in the evening when I was home alone. We were still going steady with our relationship, although we hadn't had sex again. We kind of tried to avoid speaking about the..... incident.

It was about 9:45pm and I was sitting on my bed, flipping through the human magazines that Sophie had collected for me over the years. She was constantly making trips back to the forbidden cities to visit Amy her sister. So she always made sure to get me something.
My head was constantly filled with questions and movement. It felt busy and confused. Maybe an early night would do me some good.

I thought a hot bath would be the perfect way to unwind before heading to bed. I turned on the tap and let the hot water fill my tub. It's a large one, at least 2mx2m. and just the right depth too.
I poured in my favourite bath elixir Scrumptious suds and let the bubbles for in the water. Pretty soon my bathroom was filled with scents of vanilla and coconut. I peeled back my clothes and slid into the bath. I could feel all of my muscles relaxing, my mind too.

I lay in the bath for a while, pondering life and thinking. I was peaceful, calm. I thought about what Sophie and Fitz could be doing now? Hopefully nothing too... dirty.

Sophie POV:

Fitz looked genuinely surprised when I led him out the the balcony of our treehouse mansion. 

"Ok Fitz, sit down here and I'll be back in a moment"

I quickly rushed off into my bedroom to grab some glitter, paint, glue, textas and a massive pile of clothes. I made my way back to Fitz waiting for me on the balcony. I was met with an even more confused looking brunet. His teal eyes were searching for answers in my golden brown ones. But all he would have been able to see would be a cheeky glint and a whole bunch of excitement.

"Soph... what have you planned here?"

"Well, back in the forbidden cities, lots of couples have matching outfits that they sometimes wear. So I thought maybe we could have them too? I have shirts, jumpers and trackies. Plus all the craft supplies that we need to decorate them"

"Ok.... I definitely haven't done this before but how is this going to help with cognate training exercises?"

"Well, it said to try something new together, right?"

"Yeah"

"So we're trying out a human relationship. I don't know about you but I think we need something we can rely on to go right. I mean for crying out loud I've been kidnapped, drugged, stabbed, poisoned and then I fell in love with you all over again. Although I don't mind the last part. But I think I need a little stability in our relationship for a bit. Something I can rely on"

Fitz let out a chuckle, his voice smooth and deep. You could almost hear his accent behind the laugh. It warmed my heart to hear him so happy.

"We have had a bit of a crazy start to this whole thing, haven't we?"

"Yes, we sure have"

I took a seat next to Fitz and we spent the next few hours designing our matching outfits. By the end of it, there was glitter everywhere including all over ourselves, paint on the table and two very colourful looking outfits. We changed into them and we couldn't help but laugh when we saw each other walk out of our bedrooms. We looked ridiculous. 

We had done pink tye-dye on the trackies with little butterflies drawn all over. The t-shirts had the words 'You just read my heart' printed onto it in all sorts of different coloured glitter. And to top it all off, we had matching tye-dye jumpers to the pants but with little glitter rainbows on them. We looked like crazy people.

"Soooo, I'm feeling kinda ridiculous right now. Are you sure this is something reliable?"

I laughed. Fitz was right. This was not what normal couples did. But that was ok with me. Because If I had to be crazy and be with Fitz, I would be for a thousand lives.

"Well, I think this should be the end of our cognat exercises tonight. MAybe you could tell me what the dress code for my date tonight is?"

"Well Miss. Foster, I would say anything romantic. Preferably something a little dressy. Oh and don't forget a jacket"

"Hmmmmmm! Now I really want to know what you have planned"

Sorry the chapter isn't as long as I said it would be. I don't know how to change to the next scene without ending the chapter.

This isn't my favourite chapter but I hope you guys like it anyway.
