Sting is seated in the living room waiting for Sofia. Sting notices someone standing in front of him and he takes his eyes up slowly. Sting's mouth falls open after seeing Sofia's face.
"... You... You..." Sting stammered.
"What" Sofia asked.
"You look so beautiful... I'm sorry I was so busy hating you that I never noticed such a beautiful face." Sting replied.
"It's ok." Sofia said and blushes.
"Oops." Sarah said as she reaches Sting and Sofia.
"What happened?" Sofia asked.
"I forgot to prepare food. And I'm so busy. I have somewhere to be right now." Sarah said.
"How could you invite someone over and forget food? And where is it you are going?" Sofia asked.
"Never mind that sis. You have to do it yourself." Sarah said and rushes out of the house before Sofia could say anything else.
"I'm so sorry" Sofia said to Sting.
"No problem. I want to help out too." Sting replied.
"You? You are the guest here and besides can you cook?" Sofia said.
Sting stands up from where he was seated. He cracks his knuckles.
"Let's do this." Sting said and goes to the kitchen.
Finding the kitchen isn't really difficult since it is a small house.
Sting's action causes Sofia to giggle a bit.
Sofia follows to the kitchen soon after.
"Okay. There is pasta and umm... Tomatoes and..." Sting said as he looks through all the ingredients.
"Are you done?" Sofia asked.
"I just entered. How could I be done?" Sting said and frowns childishly.
This part of Sting has never been seen before since he was five. I guess Sofia's mare presence has started to lighten him up.
Sofia laughs loudly.
"Those aren't tomatoes those are peaches. What a mistake you've made." Sofia said, still laughing.
Sting turns to see her face. She is still laughing at him. This time Sting is actually happy to see someone laugh at him.
When Sting is with his gang members they dare not laugh at him for anything. No matter how funny it would be.
On the other hand, Sofia's laughter gives joy to Sting.
"You look even more beautiful when you laugh." Sting said.
Sofia stops laughing and slaps him slightly on the head.
"Are you here to cook or to flirt?" Sofia asked.
"Both... I guess?" Sting said.
"You are so silly" Sofia said.
Sting doesn't know how all these nice words have been coming out of his mouth. Sting had never felt this way with anyone.
Sting had asked Sofia to wait in the living room till he is done. Sting is still cooking in the kitchen while Sofia still waits in the living room.
"Here it is." Sting said.
He keeps the food on the table.
"Wow. I hope it tastes as good as it looks." Sofia said.
"Of course it does. Try it." Sting said.
Sofia takes a bite and looks at Sting in disbelief.
"You couldn't tell the difference between peaches and tomatoes but this pasta is simply amazing." Sofia said.
"I knew the difference. I only faked it." Sting said.
Sting and Sofia eat and talk about a lot of things.
"You haven't told me anything about your family." Sofia said.
"I'd rather not talk about it, it's not something I would like to talk about." Sting said.
"It's okay. Just remember I'm always here when you're ready to speak up." Sofia assured him.
"Okay." Sting replied.
Sarah had returned from where ever it was that she went to. It is late already and Sting had to leave.
"I'll take my leave now." Sting said and Sofia shook hands with him.
"Just a hand shake?" Sarah asked rhetorically.
Sarah goes behind Sofia and pushes her towards Sting. Sting caught Sofia in an embrace as she fell on his body.
Sting and Sofia stared directly into each other's eyes. Sofia starts to blush exceedingly and then separates herself from Sting.
Sting leaves and Sarah immediately turns to Sofia excitedly.
"Tell me everything." Sarah said.
The next day...
Sting's home...
Sting wakes from his sleep. This time he wakes up with a smile on his face. Sting feels happy like never before.
"I can't believe this is how it feels to be in love. I've really been missing out." Sting said to himself.
Sting gets up from bed and goes to the bathroom. Sting brushes his teeth and takes his bath. He then goes to the kitchen and and grabs a pan to cook.
Something rolls and hits Sting's leg. Sting looks down and then bends to pick it up. Sting smiles.
"It's a tomato this time." He said, still smiling.
Sting remembers when was in the kitchen with Sofia at her house. Anytime he remembers what happened yesterday he gets so filled up with happiness.
"I have to see her again." Sting said and drops the tomato in it's rightful place.
Sarah's house...
"Come on sleepy head. Wake up. We are going to be late." Sarah said as she continues shaking up Sofia.
"Why do I have to wake up so early. Don't bother my sleep Sarah." Sofia asked.
"Didn't you hear me? We have to go to work." Sarah replied.
"What!? Oh no! oh no! I'll be late! Why didn't you wake me sooner?" Sofia asked.
"I've been trying to do that for a long time now." Sarah replied.
Sofia rushes to the bathroom and takes her bath. She brushes her teeth and then puts on their housemaid uniforms.
Sarah already had breakfast so she only waited for Sofia to finish hers.
"Let's go." Sofia said and grabs her bag to leave with Sarah.
Sarah locks the door and Sofia stops a cab. The two sisters hops in.
Red's house...
Red is seated on a chair in his house. Red hears a Knock on the door and wonders who it might be. He opens the door and Sting rushes in.
"What are you doing here?" Red asked annoyingly.
Red still blames Sting for his present state with Sarah.
