The Islands in the Bay – Chapter (048) Surprising Sophie


Jamie White was meeting Hayley Stock in St Pierre on Sunday where they were going to the pictures.

George Wood was taking Katie to meet his sister in Saxvirdan so they said they would drop Hayley off in town on the way, and Jamie would then drive her home afterwards. 

 

Jamie’s younger sister Angela was also going to St Pierre, because there was someone she wanted to see, so she got a lift from her brother.

Angela first saw Sophie Blourde when she served them at the Beaumont Manor, when her parents took her and her siblings there for a meal at Christmas, and she fell head over heels, at first sight and she could tell by the way Sophie blushed when she caught Angela looking at her that she was interested.

When Sophie collected the plates there was a lingering exchange where their hands almost touched, but not quite, then the next time Angela caressed her hand with her thumb and brushed her fingertips against hers and Sophie blushed and got very flustered.

 

Sophie was four years younger than Angela, but she was smitten.

Angela knew what time the evening staff started at the Hotel because she had waitressed there herself when she was at college, she also knew that Sophie lived in Saxvirdan and got a bus to the Bellevue hospital and walked to the hotel.

So she made sure that she was on the path between the Hospital and the Hotel in order to “bump” into her, it was a bit stalky, she admitted that to herself, but she couldn't think of any other way, she couldn't have asked her out at the restaurant while she's taking orders.

“And for you madam?” Sophie could ask and Angel could reply “I’ll take you, any way you come”

And as they lived at opposite ends of the island “real” chance encounters just weren’t going to happen, so she had to stalk her prey.

It was an unseasonably mild day, peaceful and calm following the storms and the sun was shining.

Angela had elected to wear a short skirt, and black tights to show off her legs and slight heels to accentuate the shape of her calves, and a blouse with a shrug over the top.

 

Sophie was walking with her head down looking at her phone, and she almost jumped out of a skin when Angela said “hello Sophie”

“Oh eh um hello”

“Sorry did I startle you?” she said flicking her Raven hair off her shoulder.

“A bit” Sophie replied, with her cheeks Crimson red.

“Well perhaps I could buy you a coffee sometime by way of an apology” Angela suggested

“When you have a day off”

“I’m not working on Saturday” she blurted out

“Ok, Saturday it is” Angela said and took Sophie's phone from her hand, caressing Sophie’s hand as she did so and added a new contact and sent herself a text

“There now you have my number” Angela said trying to remain cool while wanting to jump for joy.

“I'll text you, time and place”

“Great” Sophie said and smiled,

“You’d better get to work now” Angela said

“Oh God yes” she said all flustered “bye”

Angela watched as she hurried away with her brunette hair dancing on the shoulders with every step, while her little buttocks were doing a different dance.

When Sophie glanced over her shoulder Angela knew she was hers.
