Rodrigo hissed, tugging his sport coat back into place after the blonde had shoved him. He reached to smooth his shoulder-length, dark hair into place, though his eyes remained narrowed upon her. "After everything I did for you.." Sophia shook her head, unwilling to listen to whatever bullshit he was spewing.<br/><br/>"Yes, I really should be grateful that you waited to tell me you were involved with four other women<em>after</em>I dropped everything to move here with you. Really, how can I ever repay you?" Her sarcasm was clear, but when Rodrigo stepped in close again, his frame towering over hers, she curled her hands into fists. He wouldn't hit her, at least he never had before, but it didn't mean she wouldn't punch him in the face.<br/><br/>When Dominic intervened, his mere presence was enough to convince Rodrigo to step away and raise his hands, though his eyes did not leave Sophia. She crossed her arms over her chest, both relieved and embarrassed. She didn't like to draw this kind of attention, and she knew she would get an earful for it later. It wouldn't be the first time Rodrigo had pulled something like this and effectively put her job in jeopardy.<br/><br/>Rodrigo's eyes shifted between the bouncer who looked ready to pulverize him and the blonde, evaluating his options, but Dom made it quite clear which would be the foolish one. It didn't take long for the dark-haired man to retreat with a shake of his head and a swipe of his thumb across his nose. Sophia's eyes followed, ensuring he was headed for the exit before she heaved a troubled sigh. When her eyes strayed, she caught sight of Mick who was making his way towards them, meeting his gaze as she sank her teeth into her bottom lip. It wouldn't have been the first time one or both of the men had helped her out, and while she didn't like to play the damsel in distress, it was nice to know they would have her back. She pressed her hand to Dom's arm in silent thanks, giving him a grateful smile before she peeled herself away to meet Mick.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry if I caused a scene.. I should have known he would make an appearance," she muttered, pushing back her golden hair from her face, though her hands were trembling slightly. It was clear she was mortified for she found it difficult to meet Mick's gaze, instead lowering her face reddened both with the flush of alcohol and embarrassment to the floor, but she managed to hide just how much Rodrigo had shaken her.<br/><br/>"I think I could use another drink."
