Game Of Love

"Why did you call me here of all places?" Asked Victoria as she walked up to Colton. Colton turned and gave her a look.

"I didn't call you here for a date, if that's what you're getting at," said a pissed off Colton. Victoria rolled her eyes at him. 

"I wouldn't have come if it were a date," she told him. Colton smirked at her. 

"Don't be so overconfident. There will come a day when you'll beg me to take you out on a date," said Colton. Victoria snorted with disgust. 

"Only in your dreams. Now if you don't have anything important to say, can I leave?" Asked Victoria, glaring at him angrily. 

"No, not until I let you. I want Sofia to return back immediately to Reno. Davion's arriving tomorrow and he'll go crazy if he finds her gone," said Colton, looking at her with concern. Victoria shrugged. 

"Why would he? Did he once bother to inform Sofi that he was going away for nearly a month? What did he expect? He'll have fun with his wh*res and when he returns, his wife should be at his service, twenty-four hours in a day?" Asked a furious Victoria. 

"It's not that way at all. The Drayton's have a share in that hotel where Colton has launched his casino. It's a partnership deal," started Colton. Victoria interrupted him. 

"I'm not interested in your business dealings, Colton.  Even if it was a business deal, Davion had no right to kiss another woman when he was already married. I can't agree with you on this," said Victoria. 

"I didn't say that he kissed Nicola. He hates her!" Said Colton with confidence. Victoria snorted.

"I saw the picture okay, so don't try to fool me. Moreover this is Sofia and Davion's personal matter. Why should I discuss anything with you? Bye, I'm going home," said Victoria. Colton caught her hand pulling her along towards the Cafe. 

"You're stuck with me till you agree to bring Sofia back to Reno by tomorrow morning," said Colton. Victoria's mouth fell at his stubbornness. 

"Sofi isn't well. I can't rush her here and there. She has a say of her own too. She saw Davion's picture with that b*tch, Nicola and she can't forget his betrayal. What you're asking for is an impossible thing. Sofia won't go back," said Victoria as she tried to extract herself but his grip only tightened upon her. 

"I don't know anything. You brought her here so you're the one who's going to take her back, " said Colton forcing her to sit beside him inside the Cafe.

"If you imprison me here, how the hell will I do it? I swear that you're the most disgusting creature on earth!" Said Victoria. Colton glared at her with disbelief. All the women in the whole world thought that he was hot and here was a girl who thought that he was disgusting? Unbelievable! 

"Are you sure that you're straight?" He leaned in and whispered all of a sudden into her ear taking her by surprise.  

"Excuse me? Now where did that come from?" Asked Victoria with her jaws dropped to the floor. Colton just continued to stare at her with a shrug making her all the more confused. "Can you leave my hand?" She asked him. 

"No, first tell me that you'd take Sofia back to her real home," continued Colton. 

"No, I won't, " said Victoria. 

"Fine, I can hold on to your hand forever till you agree. We're going to your house or mine?" Asked Colton. Victoria's eyes widened with disbelief. 

"Are you serious? Why should I go to your house?" She asked him curiously. 

"'Coz I'm not leaving you till you agree. I'll kidnap you if the need arose," threatened Colton. Victoria got up suddenly but he pulled her down and she landed on his lap! Shocked and embarrassed, Victoria looked up at the dark and menacing expression on his face. 

"Let me go," said Victoria, her face red with embarrassment. 

"No," said Colton. "Tell me that you'll take Sofia back and I'll let you go," said Colton, staring at her face which was inches away from his. 

"No, please try to understand Colton, it's not in my hands. It's Sofi's life and she gets to decide what she wants to do," said Victoria, wriggling to get free. Colton groaned and Victoria was shocked to see his eyes grow dark with desire. She could feel him harden beneath her and her cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment. His arms tightened around her waist as he pulled her against his chest. 

"Please, Colton. Everyone's staring at us," begged Victoria, wanting to evaporate into the air. 

"Let them," said Colton,  watching her like a hawk. 

"Okay, I'll try to convince Sofia. Please can you let me go?" Asked Victoria, giving up. This guy was crazy and she would never win against him. 

"No," said Colton like a stubborn mule.

"Then what is it that you want?" Asked Victoria, frustrated and disgusted with him. 

"I want you to take Sofia back there tonight, " said Colton. Victoria sighed and looked away. The guy was really crazy. "Or else I'll kidnap you to my house. I won't let you go home till you agree," he continued relentlessly. 

"I told you that I'll try to convince her. Please, if I fail, you can punish me then," said Victoria, pleading with the jerk.

Colton considered her statement for a while. Then he grinned suddenly, releasing her abruptly. Victoria jumped to her feet, ready to flee. "I'm letting you go but if you fail to bring Sofia to Reno tonight, be ready to face the worst punishment possible," he threatened. Victoria nodded and rushed out of the Cafe while she still had the chance. There was no way she could trust Colton. What if he changed his mind and grabbed her again? She refused to think of the punishment that Colton might give her. Rushing home, she decided to try to tell Sofia what Colton had told her. She knew that Sofia wouldn't want to return to Reno however much she begged her to. 

Victoria went into her house and upstairs to Sofia's room. She was doing her home assignments and looked up seeing her twin enter. "Where did you go off to?" Asked Sofia with a warm smile. Victoria hated to disrupt her mental peace and tell her about going back to Reno. She didn't want Sofia to cry and fall sick again. Therefore she was in a dilemma whether to tell her or not. 

"I went to meet a friend," said Victoria, unable to tell her anything. It took her twin so many days to gain her health back. She just didn't have the heart to break her heart again. 

"Oh, a he or a she?" Asked Sofia in a teasing tone.

"It's a he but it's not what you're thinking it to be," she pointed out. Sofia chuckled, the sound felt like music to her ears after so many days and she decided against telling her anything at all. 

"I see," said Sofia with a smile. "You smell like him too," said Sofia, making Victoria blush. She sniffed her arm and to her horror, she really smelled like Colton! Sofia laughed at her antics. "See? I told you," she said. 

"I just fell on his lap so I might be smelling a bit like him. It's not what you're thinking, okay?" said Victoria, defending herself. Sofia chuckled more. 

"You just fell into his lap?" She laughed. 

"It's not funny," protested Victoria. 

"Okay, I'm serious. So tell me more about your friend," said Sofia. 

"Forget him, Sofi. Please tell me what have you decided about Davion? What will you do when he returns to his house and finds you gone?" Asked Victoria. She couldn't ask Sofia to return to Reno but at least she would know what Sofia had thought about her marriage. Sofia's smile vanished completely and her eyes reflected the pain that she felt in her heart. She looked down at her hands, helplessly while trying hard to get a grip over herself and face the reality. Victoria's heart went out to her twin but she needed to know what Sofia had decided.

"I'll send him the divorce papers, " said Sofia softly, almost in a whisper. Victoria stared at her, swallowing the lump in her throat. She just couldn't bear to see her twin in so much pain.

"We have to tell mom and dad, Sofi. Do you realize that?" Asked Victoria gently. Sofia nodded. 

"I'll tell them soon. I'll ask dad to help me file for divorce," she said. Victoria sighed helplessly. There wasn't anything that she could do. 

"I think you need to tell mom and dad as soon as possible, " said Victoria. She wanted to tell Sofia that Davion was returning tomorrow and no one knew what he might do when he found out that his wife was missing. In fact from Colton's reactions, Victoria could guess that even he was scared to face Davion. 

"I will, maybe next week or so, " said Sofia with a shrug.

"Tell them tonight, Sofi. Davion's returning tomorrow, " she blurted out in panic.
