Taming Mr. Cold And Arrogant

Sophia's POV:

"Sophia, you have guests."

I heard Craig's voice from the entrance of the studio but I continued to dance with my students. 

"Guests?" I furrowed my eyebrows. 

"Yes, guests."

"Who are they?"

I asked swaying my h.i.p.s left and right as it is part of the steps. I didn't know the guests he was referring to were now inside and watching me dance in the middle. I have 15 students on the dance floor, so they're blocking the mirror. 

"Just turn around so you can see them."

My husband's face was the first thing I saw when I turned around. He really surprised me as I didn't expect him to come and visit me. And because of that, I suddenly lost my balance and fell to the ground. 

"Ouch!"

I bite my lip when I felt the stinging pain on my b.u.t.t. 

"Sophia!"

Craig immediately ran up to me, but before he could even hold me there were two muscular arms lifting me from the floor. The hair on the back of my neck bristled and a shiver coursed down my spine when I felt his touch. 

I was speechless and shocked when he bent down and checked my legs if I had any bruises. 

"Are you okay?" He asked, concern laced in his voice. 

I blinked rapidly and nodded, startled by new feelings and sensations going through me. 

"Ahem!" We heard someone coughing behind him and a blush crept on my face when I realized that Rian and Alex were also with him. Rian is holding little Jona in her arms while Dino is in Alex's hands. 

"Hi, we're also here." Rian said, grinning widely at me. 

"Hi, Aunt Belle."

"Hello, Dino." I completely ignored Daniel and walked towards them. 

I kissed his cheeks and took little Jona in my arms. 

"Hi, my baby girl, how are you?" I asked kissing her forehead. She leaned on my c.h.e.s.t and I giggled when she smiled at me. "Ohh, you're so cute little angel."

I felt a hand on my shoulder and based on the scent of his perfume and the reaction of my body from his touch, I don't need to ask who he is. 

"Yeah, she so cute and adorable, sweetheart."

I glanced at him only to find out that he's not looking at his niece but to my face. "I can also give you one like Jona or more than---"

"Daniel Kelley!"

I cut him off narrowing my eyes but he just gave me a loud chuckle that surprised Rian and Alex. 

"Hubby, are you sure they know we're here? Because I feel like they don't seem to notice us." Rian asked her husband, shaking her head. 

"It's as if they have their own world when they are with each other." Alex mumbled and put his arm around his wife's shoulder. 

"Let's go inside my office." I walked past at them bringing Jona with me. 

"Wow! I didn't know you loved flowers so much, Belle!"

Rian's eyes widened when she saw the arrangements of flowers inside my office. 

"Are you selling flowers or are you thinking of converting your studio into a flower shop?"

Craig and I chuckled at her question. 

"Actually, they came from her secret admirer with T.M. initials." Craig answered for me. 

"T.M. initials?" Alex and Rian asked at the same time. 

"So, you have a secret admirer, huh?" Daniel looked at me, his face devoid of emotions. 

"So, what if she has a secret admirer?" Rian raised her eyebrow. 

"We have an agreement, Rian! She can't entertain suitors or admirers while she's still married to me!" He glared at her. 

"Well, for your information, Mr. Kelley, I'm not entertaining suitors! It's not my fault when someone sends me flowers every day!" I said giving Jona to her mother. 

"Really, Sophia? You can lie to them but not on my face. You can always return them to your sender."

"Then tell me how I could do it if I didn't even know who sent me those flowers!"

"Is that the problem? You can refuse to receive them every time they deliver, but you have just accepted them."

"Ahm... actually, she's not the one who receives them." Craig said, giving him an awkward smile. "It's me. I was the one who convinced her to let me accept the flowers and arrange them inside her office. Don't worry, she's just keeping the cards, but these lovely things here, these are all for me."

I bite my lip to suppress the chuckle as he literally kissed the petals of the red roses in front of him. 

"Tsk.tsk.tsk. There's nothing wrong with accepting gifts, especially when she's still single, big brother. The mistake begins if she is your real wife and you feel jealous." Rian smirked. 

"Tss! Change your clothes." He turned to me, ignoring his sister's comment. 

"Why do I have to change my clothes?" I asked confused. 

"Because we are going out with the kids." Rian answered me. 

"Unless you want to go out wearing a black tank top and gray leggings." Daniel murmured. 

"Why not? If you want, I can go out with you wearing only a swimsuit." I said, riding his comment to add his annoyance. 

And I rejoice inside when turns to me, narrowing his eyes. 

"Then try it, sweetheart, if you don't want me to drag you here and change your clothes into something long that will cover your body from head to toe!"

All our heads were thrown against him in shock when he raised his voice. But a silly idea came to my mind. 

I stepped closer to him, cupped his left cheek and smiled sweetly. 

"Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm all yours so you don't have to be jealous." I patted his cheek before turning to my desk. 

I left him speechless while Rian, Alex and Craig were trying to control their laugh. 

~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~

After eating at a restaurant, Daniel pulled me inside a boutique. Almost everyone was looking at us as we entered. 

"What are we doing here?" I asked in a whisper. 

"We are going to buy you some dress, sweetheart." He said smiling and put his hand on my lower back. 

"What are you talking about? I have a lot of dress----" I didn't finish what I was saying when he kissed my lips. 

"Hmm... I would love to kiss your soft and sweet lips every time you talk back, sweetheart." He smirked. 

"Argh!" I formed my fists glaring at him. 

I roamed my eyes inside the boutique and tried to choose something that will make him annoyed. 

I rolled my eyes when he called the attention of the two sales personnel to help me fitting those clothes that he pulled from the hangers. 

"Try them all."

My eyes widened when he pointed the bunch of dress in the cart. 

"Are you seriously want me to try all of them?"

"Yes." He shrugged. "And we will take them as long as it fits you."

"But Mr. Ke----sweetheart.." I remember were not in the house. "I told you I don't need them. I have a lot of dress in my closet." I smiled sweetly as I noticed the two ladies were watching us. 

"It's okay, sweetheart, you know how much I love you, right?"

-'Wow, so sweet!'-

"And I will do everything that will make you happy."

I restrained myself from rolling my eyes. 

-'Or you will everything to irritate me?'- "Of course, I know that, sweetheart."

Why do I feel that he's really enjoying this? 

"Miss, can you help me fit all of these?" I said turning to the lady in my left side, but I didn't understand her answer as I heard Daniel's voice behind me. 

"I love you, sweetheart." My breath hitched but I tried to act normal and smiled at the lady before turning to my 'husband'. 

"I love you too, sweetheart." I gulped as I felt my face heated by the blush slowly creeping up my neck. 

I immediately turned around but his next words almost blew my eyes from their sockets. 

"Where is my kiss?"

-'Haha... Kiss?'- "Did he say kiss?" I asked the lady. 

"Yes, Ma'am." She nodded. 

"I thought you love me, so where's my kiss?" He smirked when I glanced at him. 

I slowly walked back in front of him. 

"You want a kiss, sweetheart?" I asked almost a whisper. Holding his face with my two hands, I leaned forward to reach his ear and whispered. "Then, you can start to kiss your ass!"

-'Two can play this game'- I add in my mind, biting my lower lip. I didn't miss how his hazel brown eyes have turned into a deep golden brown. 

~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~~

"No."

-'Again? Argh! Forgodsake!'-  I complained silently when he still didn't approve the 6th dress I showed him. 

7th dress... Green, off shoulder with sweetheart

Neckline. 

"No, too much skin."

8th dress... Royal blue, spaghetti-strap with high slit on my left legs. 

"No, that's just the same with the last one, too revealing."

-'Argh! Daniel Kelley!'-

I pulled my hair in frustration when I entered again in the fitting room. And a naughty smile crept on my lips when I saw the last dress hanging on the door. 

-'Hmm... I like you!'-

9th dress... Crimson red spaghetti strap, floor-length, with plunging neckline, open back and two high slits in front. 

Everything he didn't like, too much skin, too revealing, too s.e.xy, was combined in one dress. 

He's on his phone when I came out of the fitting room. 

"Sweetheart." I made sure my voice sounded sweet and seductive. 

His jaws dropped when he saw me walking towards his seat. I turned around to show him how much skin shows in my dress. 

"What do you think, sweetheart?"

"Ahm... No!"

I took a deep breath to control my laugh. "But why? Am I not s.e.xy with this dress?" I asked batting my lashes. 

"No, Sophia, not that one." He said seriously. 

"Ohh, I thought you will do everything to make me happy? I thought you said you love me?" I pouted my lips like a ten-year-old kid. 

Everyone who's watching our conversation was having a different expression on their face. 

He stood up and grabbed my hand. 

"Change this one!" He said whispering to my ear. 

"No, I like this dress."

"Forgodsake, Sophia! Are you going to change this dress or do you want me to come with you inside the fitting room to help you change it?"

I glared at him balling my fists. 

"Fine!"

After another 30 minutes of fitting of almost all the dress inside the boutique, I finally felt the comfort of the couch. He approved 5 long dress, 5 coats, 4 skirts, and some shoes that he personally chose for me. 

He didn't let me pay for those items and warned to kiss me if I still insisted on paying them, so I let him give his card to the cashier. 

'Thank you, Miss." Daniel said taking his card.  He motioned his two bodyguards to take the ten large paper bags from the counter. 

"You're welcome, Sir."

"Thank you, girls." I winked at them. 

"Let's go." He took my hand and pulled me towards the door. 

"Let me bring the other bags." I said smiling at him but he just looked at me frowning. "Okay." I shrugged my shoulders and didn't speak again. 

I can't help but smile as I remember what I did earlier before he pays at the counter. 

Flashback... 

"Miss, do you remember all the dress that my husband didn't approve?" I asked one of the girls who's helping me. 

"Yes, Ma'am."

"Pack those dress because that's what I'll get."

"But Ma'am?"

She suddenly looked horrified but I just chuckled at her reaction. 

"Don't worry about him, just be quiet." I said taking her hand and put the two hundred dollars in it. "Shhh!"

She was surprised but nodded eventually.
