Sophia Censatio

I slowly opened my eyes and felt a terrible headache at the same time. I scrubbed my two eyes and moaned in pain before my eyes came in contact with my siblings, they both stared at me looking upset. I wonder what's going on with them this morning.

I decide to sit up since I was lying down on the bed and I'm not comfortable. My brother Nicholas pass me a glass of water with two aspirin in my hand. I gave him a weird look before taking it from him. The way he shove the glass of water to me, I knew something is wrong somewhere.

I drank the water with the drug before placing the glass cup on the nightstand beside my bed. I waited for them to leave but, they both stood right there in front of me still with weird looks on their faces.

"what is it? Why are you guys staring at me like that?" I can't help but ask them. I can't pretend not to see that look on their faces.

"What?! Are you seriously asking us that right now, Sophia? You mean, you have no idea of what you've done?" Janet asked as her eyes widened in horror.

"What are you talking about? What have I done? Look, if you two are not ready to say anything, it will be best if you just leave my room now" I hissed and dismissed them.

"Sophia!!" They both exclaimed at the same time.

"You two stop this and tell me what's going on. How can I know what it is when you're not ready to tell me anything"

"Nic, show it to her." Janet said to him.

He brought out his phone from his pocket and shove it to my chest roughly. "Look for yourself" He said. I rolled my eyes before trying to check what they were both acting weird upon.

“Sometimes you two act annoying and-" I stopped in my mid-sentence and widened my eyes in horror.

NO!!! No! No! No! This can't be happening?! Ho... How?! How in the world did this happen?!!! I can't believe I got drunk and ended up writing these lies about him! Oh no!! What have I done?! - I mentally scold myself before my mind flashback to what happened yesterday.

FLASHBACK

"Sophia!"

"Sophia!!"

"Sophia!!!"

I groaned mentally. Sophia here and there! Can't they just do without me?

"Sophia, get table number six, please." Nicholas, my best friend here at the restaurant, said to me. I like him a lot because he is the only person who understands me.

"Roger that." I smiled, and nod my head before making my way to the said table and taking the customer's order. I woke up this morning with a terrible headache, my head began to hurt badly ever since then, and even now, it still hurt. All I want to do right now is to go home and sleep like there's no tomorrow but too bad, I can't do that.

I end up rolling my eyes at the customer as I went to take her order. You won't believe what she wants; VANILLA ICE CREAM.

Only!

just ice cream.

"Anything else, ma'am?" I asked politely. As much as I wanted to slap that irritating cake-up face of hers right now, I can't do that else, I will lose my job. She's been busy pressing her phone and hardly respond to my question. And, when she finally answered, she only want an ICE CREAM.

I went back to the counter to take her order.

"Sophia, you have to take the Telecom." One of my colleagues suddenly showed up from nowhere and spoke again to me.

"Hmmm" I hummed.

"Sophia, you have to get table number twenty-six right away! NOW!" As soon as I answered the phone, my manager ordered through the telecom company.

"Yes, sir" I replied. My vision is becoming blurry slowly and I can't see clearly but I'm still trying hard to keep my balance. I ran to table 26 and found out who was seated, to my surprise, it was the 'SAMUELs' the youngest bachelor billionaires in town. Aaron and Nathan Samuel.

They are known not only in the country but all over the world. These billionaire bachelors are the talk of the town today. Every girl's dream. Every single girl out there wants to end up with them, but definitely excluding me.

I don't have time to love at the moment. Though I believe in Cinderella's love story but I'm not ready to move toward that yet. Not anytime soon as I still have a lot on my mind at the moment.

I swallowed hard before speaking to them. I'm nervous to even talk to them, they are billionaires and it is very difficult to talk to them, especially people like me who come from a middle-class family. To top it all, I've never been this close to him. He is more beautiful than in camera, his beautiful long eyelashes, or is it the pointed nose that made him look like an Arabian prince and those sexy red lips that ca-

"Sophia! Get rid of those thoughts right now!" I mentally scold myself.

"Good morning, sir. Please tell me what you would like to order?" I said to them politely. Nathaniel smiled at me whilst Aaron is still busy speaking to someone on the phone.

"Please, I will have 'Toasted whole wheat bagel bread with medium tea and vegetable extract' " He said and I write it down immediately.

Just when I thought, I'm getting better, my vision started to become blurred again but I tried to maintain my balance.

I must be strong- I tell myself.

"What about you, sir? What would you like to order?" I asked, but the brute was busy with his phone that he didn't acknowledge my presence. I end up rolling my eyes again for the umpteenth time. I don't know what's going on with all these people today, they ignore me like I'm invisible to them. Their cell phone seems to be more important to them than me.

"Aaron, what do you want her to bring?" his brother asked.

Thank you for helping out- I wanted to say that to him.

"Make the whole wheat bagels bread with vegetable spray, two. I don't want tea" He looked down at his phone after saying that.

So he heard my conversation with his brother?

I left their table and ran back to the counter to get their order only to realize I hadn't asked what drink he would like. I went back again to their table and asked. "Excuse me, what would you like to drink?"

"beer?" Nathan asked him.

"Call" was his response and I nodded politely before leaving their table.

I told Nick about their order and he got them on the train. I picked it up and walked back to their table, carefully placing everyone's order in front of them.

I returned to the table, grabbed Aaron's drink, and walked over to them. I approached him and when it was just two meters closer, suddenly, my vision became totally blurred and everything went black. I tripped over someone or fell, I have no idea, all I know is, I end up spilling the drink on someone.

The dizziness I felt seconds ago all vanished and is now replaced with a clearer vision.

Oh no! What have I done?! I just spilled the drink on Aaron!!

"Damn!" He growled as he jumped off his seat.

“so…sorry sir, I'm sorry, sir” I got up quickly and apologized to him again and again. I didn't think I would spill the drink on him. Now, we're getting attention from the people around us.

"Come on Aaron, I'm sure she didn't mean to spill the drink on you. It's just a mistake" Nathan said to him.

"You call this a damn mistake?!! Fine! How about this then?" he says and before I know what's going on, he poured the soup on my head.

I couldn't open my mouth to talk or do anything, I just stood there crying, afraid to speak. I am shaking in fear and afraid to open my eyes as I do not know what next he would do to me. This is the worst experience of my life.

"Aaron, can you calm down?" I heard his brother talking to him. I opened my eyes slowly and begin to apologize again.

“I'm... I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry." I tried to clean his expensive suit but I got hit and pushed roughly instead!

Everyone who watched, including his brother exclaimed in shock. "You're just stupid and clumsy!" He hissed and I hit my head on the floor due to his rough push. I got up immediately again and begin to apologize to him.

I can take anything from him as long as I'm not going to lose my job.

My manager came and asked. "What happened?" He saw the scene and glared at me.

"What have you done?" he muttered angrily.

"I am sorry." I apologized again. He poured the soup on me and even pushed me yet, I'm the one apologizing to him. Not because I don't know what to do but because I didn't want the restaurant to lose such an important customer because of my clumsiness. "I'm sorry sir." I apologized again.

"Shit! Fucking fire her, damn it!" he burst angrily.

"What?!!"
