Chapter 8

JULIAN

“Good morning, little bird.”

Sofia turns over in bed, pulling the pillow down over her face and letting out a groan.

“It’s time to get up.”

I give her a nudge, but she just pulls the covers further around her body. “Leave me alone, pest.”

With a chuckle, I cross the room and take the liberty of finding her something to wear. I guess mornings aren’t her thing.

“We have business to attend to today.”

“Shove your business up your—”

I cut her off. “Important business.”

With a sigh, she turns around in bed and makes a feeble attempt at sitting up.

“There’s coffee on the bedside for you.”

She glances over and swallows, nodding her head while her eyes blink rapidly. I would love to say Sofia looks like a goddess first thing in the morning, all fresh faced and glamorous. The truth is with her wild hair and disheveled nightdress, she looks like she’s been dragged through a garden hedge.

And strangely enough, I think I prefer it to the painted red lips and the tight fitting green dress.

“What time is it?”

“Seven.”

“Are you kidding me?”

I pick out an outfit of a black pencil skirt and a deep purple silk blouse before placing it on the end of the bed. “I’ve been up for hours.”

“You’re not normal.”

I raise my eyebrows and stand at the bottom of the bed. “Have you seen yourself?”

She gives me a sticky sweet smile while she picks up her coffee cup. “I’d look a hell of a lot better if I wasn’t rudely awakened last night.”

I take a seat on the end of the bed. “Someone disturbed my pampered little princess? Who was it? Tell me their name, and I’ll kill them.”

She rolls her eyes. “If you want me to get ready, get out of my room.”

“Very well.” Smiling, I nod my head and get up, making my way to the door. “But just so you know, this is my room.”
